ECS Graduation 2015
Once thought to inhabit only the Smoky Mountains, “synchronous” fireflies – that is, fireflies that blink on and off at the same time – have now been spotted in various locations around our region. The rare Photinus Carolinus species light up only from late June to mid-July. To celebrate their presence, many places are offering programs to discover this species for yourself.

More Roof Work Needed at ECS Board Appoints Wiley to Fill Cortez Seat By Jann Wiswall
The Ellicottville Central School Board held a public hearing on Tuesday, June 23, to allow public comment on
its plans to use $70,000 of its repair reserve funds to replace and patch portions of the school’s roof. No one attended the meeting to make comments and the board approved the expense. The board’s building,
grounds and transportation committee were informed of the roof problems by the school’s maintenance staff and determined that the roof over the cafeteria must be replaced. The library wing’s roof, See ECS Board page 8

Letter to the Editor
In my day, there was only one women’s football team in England—and they played against men’s teams, in exhibition matches. But this week, I watched Germany and Norway draw 1-1 in the World Cup. The pitch (and sidelines, and the stands!) were swimming with beautiful women. The football was superb. And—it’s strange to say this, believe me—the US team are the favorite to win the World Cup. I’m grateful for the chance to watch the world change. This country came from nearly nothing as far as soccer goes, you know. Many of the top coaches at the Women’s World Cup are men, and worked in men’s soccer first. But here in the US there are so many talented women coaches with years and years of experience—at every level. They had to learn so much so fast, and they did. If you like, you can go watch the ECS team to see what a coach with that kind of experience is capable of. The news on the TV is rarely good lately—and there’s an awful lot of it. But I watch the US women play, and I remember what this country is capable of. You can be so organized and committed, so patient, when you’re building something that’s meant to last for generations. Everything changes. Arsenal, one of the best teams in the Premier League, recently fielded a side without a single Englishman. Well. There’s a midfielder named Williams. She’s played for England sine she was a teenager and has more caps than any other Englishwoman. For her first few years on the national team, she was homeless. She wouldn’t tell her teammates. You can watch her play in Canada this week. If England beat Columbia, you can watch her next week too. Everything changes, and things have always been complicated. As always, though, there’s much to be proud of, and much to look forward to. Best, Wally Holland Sr.
China - theByGlobal William Thomas Warming Gong Show Gearing up for the United Nations conference on climate change in Paris this December, the world’s largest polluting countries are in full promise mode. In a global effort to reduce carbon emissions in the earth’s atmosphere, the United States and China, the world’s biggest polluters, have promised to double their previous rates of reduction, by 2025 and 2030 respectively. Recently, India and China have promised to submit plans before the Paris conference outlining joint carbonreducing targets. In Canada we are doing nothing to combat greenhouse gases and extreme weather except denying the science they’re based on. Prime Minister Stephen Harper needs to see way more starving polar bears and drowned caribou before he takes climate change seriously. By the time he does face reality the Canadian Arctic will be a serious threat to Cuba as a year-round, warm-weather tourist destination. With the World Health Organization attributing 7 million deaths annually to air pollution, in the struggle to clean its own atmosphere, you have to give China credit for trying . Even if their concepts and devices tend to be somewhat on the wacky side. In central China, the city of Wuhan is considering building skyscrapers coated with a high-tech chemical that can “eat” air pollutants. I’m no expert in atmospheric drycleaning but if a chemical can eat carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, wouldn’t it just love to have your lung for lunch? One Chinese researcher in Beijing is working on an “urban wind passage” that would regulate the height and density of buildings so the smog has a “dispersal channel.” If it works, death tolls would drop in Beijing but increase in the suburbs. That’s like the old “non-peeing section of the swimming pool.” Another researcher has come up with a dress with
sensors which would tell the wearer exactly how toxic the air is surrounding her body. No word of a male garment so if this product does work, for the sake of their health, men will have to take up cross-dressing. One scientist is proposing to send up drones to freeze the polluted particulates and watch them fall to earth. But then you gotta shovel that stuff, eh? In a country where you can often see the air but not across the street, the schemes to clean up atmospheric pollution are unlimited and quite artistic. In a city where almost everybody wears breathing masks in public, an artist is planning on sucking toxic particulates out of Beijing’s filthy sky using a giant vacuum-cleanertype device and then creating jewelry from the crystallized contaminants he collects. If this one works, the artist could become the world’s first cityto-city vacuum salesman. Jewelry from junk in the air? Not so far-fetched when you consider that your body can now be cremated and then synthesized into a small, blue diamond which someday your grandchildren will likely sell in a lawn sale. Another artist, this one British and living in Beijing has invented the “airpurifying bicycle” from a generator, a fighter-pilot’s mask, some hoses and filters, a motorcycle helmet and an IKEA wastebasket. He claims it delivers fresh air to the rider while peddling through the streets of the capital. Even if it does work the bicyclist runs the risk of being mistaken for a suicide bomber. Yet another artist, this one Dutch is creating an electrostatic vacuum cleaner which employs copper coils to attract pollution particles from the air. It looks like a giant hula hoop creates a clear, clean path of air high above the operating machine. It is not designed to enhance the quality of the air, only to remind people in China what clean air used to look like!?!
In Beijing you can now trade in your breathing mask for a pack of “Filterettes.” With eight in a pack for ten bucks, you inhale through the filtered, unlit cigarette like a smog snorkel thereby delivering cleaner air to your respiratory system. It doesn’t tell you where you point the cigarettes to obtain clean air. I’m guessing you aim it towards that urban wind tunnel or stick it into the IKEA wastebasket. From the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences comes the top secret “Artificial Fog Removal” program that nobody will breathe a word about. We can only hope it’s not a typo and the Chinese government is about to exterminate every garden ornament in the country that looks like a frog. One unique cleansing plan will have city workers in Beijing installing huge shower heads on the top of tall buildings to literally wash the smog out of the air. The spinoff success story will be an enterprising guy on the street with a bucket of soapy water and a brush - “Huang’s Parked Car Wash.” I have to admit, I do love an outside shower but with soap, not soot. As valiant as these antipollution endeavors are, I have my doubts about a nation of people who do not speak to their neighbours because they cannot see them but are attempting to create clean, fresh air from hula hoops and motorcycle helmets. The world may well be doomed, having waited way too long to rid the planet of its fatal fever, but the Chinese? They’re going out with a giggle.

Town Planning Board to Consider Food Truck Ordinance By Jann Wiswall
The Town of Ellicottville’s Planning Board set a public hearing for a farm stand special use permit and will be seeking the Town Board’s approval to review zoning ordinances for similar seasonal or temporary businesses. The request for a Saturdayonly organic produce stand adjacent to the parking lot of Dionne Kress’ Groove Fitness club on Rt. 219 will be decided following a public hearing scheduled for the board’s July 27 meeting. Kress hopes to operate the stand from August through October from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. The Kress farm stand is in an Ellicottville commercial zone, which requires the special use permit. The recommendation for review of ordinances, however, came as a result of another business owner who
has opened a weekend-only barbeque chicken and ribs business on private property at Rt. 219 and Irish Hill Rd., which is in an agricultural/ residential zone. The owner, Tom Zukic, explained to the board that he has been operating the “Smokin’ Tom’s BBQ” location for several months. Zukic has obtained necessary permits from the County Health Department, and Town Code Enforcement Officer Tom Abriatis has been working with him to ensure the operation meets town regulations for what Abriatis classified as a farm stand. Because the BBQ is in an agricultural/residential zone, Town Planner Carol Horowitz explained that the BBQ, if considered a “farm stand,” is an allowed use under current zoning law and, therefore,
doesn’t need a planning board permit. But, she said, it doesn’t quite fit the farm stand definition, nor does it fit the only other designation available – a restaurant. More accurately, she thought, it could be defined as a “food truck,” and the town does not have ordinances in place regarding food trucks. Horowitz suggested that the planning board consider whether and how it wants to deal with food trucks in the future, given the growing popularity of such businesses and the likelihood that the issue will come to the board’s attention. The board agreed and will take up the issue pending town board approval of its request. The next meeting of the Town Planning Board will be held on Monday, July 27 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall.

Making Their Communities a Better Place
Students Honored for Citizenship, Community Service
Photo by Amy Hill By Jann Wiswall
The Cattaraugus County Youth Bureau held a banquet honoring 52 high school seniors who received the Bureau’s Youth Citizenship Awards over the past year. The banquet, held at Holiday Valley’s Main Lodge on Monday, June 22, feted some 180 students and their families and featured guest speaker the Honorable Jeremiah J. Moriarty, III, NYS Supreme Court Justice. The Youth Bureau has recognized outstanding young citizens of Cattaraugus County each week for more than a dozen years. Awardees are selected for their demonstrated interest in and commitment to serving their communities and volunteering to help others. Over the past year, awardees have volunteered for fire departments, read to seniors in nursing homes, worked with
the SPCA and other community organizations, served with excellence on student councils, contributed time and energy to their churches and devoted themselves to many other leadership and community service opportunities. During Monday’s banquet, Justice Moriarty thanked the students for “making their communities a better place.” “Each of us is obligated to undertake something that contributes to the well-being of our society in a very direct way. You are being recognized here for doing just that and I urge you to make that part of your life’s work.” Moriarty stressed the importance of improving the “quality of life for everyone in your community, especially children. … Some are sick, some are lonely, some are uneducated; most have little
or no control over their fate. Give them a hand, give them a chance, give them their dignity,” he said. “No exercise is better for the human heart than reaching down to lift up another person.” The Youth Citizenship Awards represent an opportunity for the Cattaraugus County Youth Bureau to “celebrate the good,” said Bureau Executive Director Anthony L. Evans. The Bureau’s primary role is to help delinquent, troubled, homeless and other at-risk youth. The Awards are presented to high school seniors from every school district, town, village and hamlet in the county. If you know a rising senior who you feel is deserving of this award, please download a nomination form at www.cattco.org/ youth-bureau or contact Laurie Peterson at (716) 938-2617.

recreational opportunities, and boost our local economy through increased tourism,” Senator Young said. “The new section of the byway will soon offer another positive way to highlight our region to residents across the state and beyond, showcasing the wonderful towns and villages along the route.” “Any step, small or large, that we can take to enhance and promote the tourism and travel industry in Cattaraugus County and Western New York is certainly a welcomed opportunity,” said Assemblyman Giglio. “I’m proud to have worked with Senator Young, the WNYSSB Coalition and the Department of Transportation’s Scenic Byway Advisory Board to develop legislation and extend the byway into my district. The magnificent foothills of the Allegheny Mountains along the byway route in Cattaraugus County will attract additional visitors and help create economic opportunities.”
WNYSSB President Robert Lennartz, who led the expansion effort, noted that “the Western New York Southtowns Scenic Byway… [will] unite Erie and Cattaraugus Counties and numerous towns and villages, into a regional attraction for tourists and the citizens of the area.” According to Senator Young’s office, municipalities along the route will use publicprivate partnerships between citizens, businesses and public officials to promote sporting competitions, artistic festivals and other events and attractions in the area. The Scenic Byway has already been successful in promoting these events across Southern Erie County, boosting tourism there. The Senator’s office cited the importance of tourism to Cattaraugus County, where tourists and travelers spent some $208 million in 2013 and generated more than $14 million in taxes, supporting approximately 5,000 local jobs.
The WNYSSB worked hard in recent years to secure “Resolutions in Support” from each of the towns and villages and, eventually, the county. Town and Village of Ellicottville officials were immediately supportive of the Byway and, with the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce and WNYSSB, were instrumental in getting the measure through the county legislature. “We really appreciate the legislators whose efforts got it through committees and onto the floor for a vote,” said Town of Ellicottville Supervisor John Burrell. “The byway will be great for our community and the entire county,” added Village Mayor Charles Coolidge, who noted the importance of tourism to the economic health and growth of the region.

Mexican Cuisine Returns to Allegany By Caitlin Croft
When you first walk into La Cocina at 76 W. Main Street, Allegany, the smell of warm tortillas hits your nose, bachata music fills your ears and instantly you are transported to a new place. That is the reaction Mexico City native Usiel Fuentes, owner of La Cocina, is hoping for. “We are bringing Mexican dining back to Allegany, with more flavors, fresher ingredients and more authentic cooking.” Fuentes recently moved to the Allegany area from North Carolina with his wife, Aura and their daughter, Carolina. They are expecting another child soon. While down south and in Mexico, Fuentes accumulated more than 20 years of restaurant experience and learned to prepare dishes native to all 31 Mexican states. Fuentes said, “When you come to La Cocina, we want it to be like your kitchen at home, so custom orders are always available,” and if you are vegan, vegetarian or maintain a gluten-free diet, you can find options at La Cocina. The menu focuses on dishes such as enchiladas, quesadillas, burritos and shrimp tacos, plus many chicken, pork, steak and seafood dishes. The restaurant’s blue corn tortillas are imported straight from Mexico City and Fuentes looks to source the
freshest ingredients possible. He also emphasized that there are many salad options, too, as there has been a push in Mexico, as in the U.S., for lighter options. “The Spinach Salad is a house favorite.” La Cocina opened its doors on June 4 and expects to have a liquor license in the next 30 – 45 days. When this is received, there will be multiple happy hour specials and two signature cocktails, the Kiwi Margarita and the Kiwi Mojito. When St. Bonaventure University students return, look for student specials as well. Fuentes picked the location for La Cocina because of its proximity to SBU and Olean. He likes the small town feel while still being near a larger population. Every day there are new lunch and dinner specials along with
a “Speedy Gonzales Lunch” which includes one taco, one enchilada and rice. Lunch specials are $5.95 and dinner entrees run from $10 to $15. The children’s menu is $4.95 and includes both Mexican and American choices. Take-out is available and La Cocina will deliver orders of $50 or more to locations in the area. With a seating capacity of 98 diners, La Cocina also will cater to your private party needs. In the future, Fuentes plans on making catering available and hopes to add an outdoor patio with 4-6 additional tables. La Cocina is open Monday – Saturday from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Take a ride over the hill and check out what La Cocina is cooking. Call (716) 372-0303.

While pool use is geared toward residents of the town, anyone is welcome. For more information, visit www.villageoflittlevalley.org. Springville also has a community pool for only $1 daily admission. The pool, located in the village on S. Buffalo St. and maintained by Springville Youth Inc. (SYI), is open seven days a week from 1 to 8 p.m. (closed to the public at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for lessons). Everyone is also welcome to enjoy the playground area. SYI also offers a splash pad, complete with sprinklers and water features, located on the corner of N. Central and
Quaker Lake Beach
Franklin Streets, right in the village. For more information, visit www.syionline.org. You can also head to Olean and check out its public pool at 551 East State Street. For more information, visit www. cityofolean.org. Beaches There’s nothing quite like a day at the beach and, lucky for us, there are several nearby to choose from. Head to Allegany State Park for your choice of two beaches, one on each side of the park, and both staffed with lifeguards. The beach at Red House Lake features a wide sandy area surrounded by grass shaded by mature trees, so you can hop in and out of the sunshine. A concession stand offers the essentials of summer snacking, and if you need other things to do, you can rent a paddleboat or canoe at the adjacent boathouse or head across the street to the playground. Quaker Lake offers a large beach off the beaten path and a grassy area and sand to spread out with your picnic blanket and beach umbrella. A playground also borders the sand. There’s plenty of
parking, and a concession stand for hungry guests. There is also a jumping platform for advanced swimmers. Looking for the best of both worlds? Head over to Franklinville’s The Woods at Bear Creek and jump into its Olympic-sized pool and 20acre lake. A day pass, which includes access to both, as well as fishing and boating in the lake, is available for $30 during the week and $35 on weekends. Finally, summer’s the perfect time to explore the region and take a short road trip to the many public beaches along the shores of Lake Chautauqua and Lake Erie. Check out Bemus Point Beach and Park and Long Point State Park on Lake Chautauqua, or Sunset Bay, Evangola State Park and Lake Erie State Park on Lake Erie. All of these parks are within an hour’s drive of Ellicottville. School’s out and it’s time to feel like a kid again, whether you have kids or not. Splash your way through the region with fantastic swimming opportunities for all!

EVL Summer Park Program Begins July 6 By Colleen Mahoney
The Ellicottville Parks Program is returning for another summer, beginning July 6. The program, which runs through Aug. 14, is open to all children in the area, according to program director Tracy Stokes, who also serves as deputy clerk of the Town of Ellicottville. The summer program includes various activities for children, from arts and crafts to magic shows and library time twice a week. A calendar of events has been prepared, though Stokes said participants are free to do whatever they choose. “We’ll have a craft of the day, but [the children] can play tag, go on the playground or do the craft,â€? Stokes said. Children will also have the opportunity to play basketball or soccer. Fridays are ďŹ eld trip
days. So far, visits to Allegany State Park, Tim and Bonnie’s Pizza and Bowling Alley and Midway Park are scheduled. This year’s program will not offer swimming lessons due to a lack of interested instructors, Stokes said, but children will still get time to swim. Monday and Wednesday, weather permitting, will be pool days at Holiday Valley. The Parks Program will also be using the Town Center this year on rainy days. Board games, crafts and movies will be some of the activities if the weather moves the program inside. This summer is Stokes’ ďŹ rst as director, but she is no stranger to the program. “I went to it as a kid and worked it as a teenager,â€? she said. “My parents went to it, too, so it’s been around for quite a while.â€?
More than 60 children have already signed up for the program, and Stokes said she has gotten phone calls for participants who’d like to start later in the summer. The Ellicottville Parks Program runs from July 6 to Aug. 14, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. It’s open to all children, who have gone through the ďŹ rst grade, and they can go as often as they would like. There is no fee for the program, though a small fee will be collected for ďŹ eld trips. “This is a great program,â€? Stokes said. “And it’s a great way for kids to spend their summer, especially if their parents have to work.â€? For more information on the Ellicottville Parks Program, or to sign up, call Stokes at (716) 699-2100.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Kelly Tough: Live Courageously by Faith’ By Erin Kelly Kelly Tough is a story of love and hope: a love between a father and a daughter— Buffalo Bill’s former quarterback, Jim Kelly, and his oldest daughter Erin. Erin shares a deeply personal account of the love a family can have for each other during the darkest times, and a greater love that a heavenly Father has for you. Whatever circumstance or heartbreak you ďŹ nd yourself overwhelmed by right now, it is not the end of the story. In fact, it just might be one of the greatest chapters as you, like the Kelly’s, ďŹ nd strength in weakness, hope in the midst of heartache, and joy in spite of suffering. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access more than 9,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Every year, Ellicottville Elementary School Principal Connie Poulin gives students a “Principal’s Challenge.â€? This year, she asked grade K-6 students to make themselves aware of veterans in the community, to recognize their service to the country and to raise $3,000 for Wounded Warriors. In exchange for doing all this, she vowed to get a buzz cut. The students exceeded Poulin’s goal and raised $3,100, so, on June 24, she held up her end of the bargain. “It’s just hair,â€? she said at an assembly of restless and excited young students that morning. “Our veterans gave their lives and limbs for our country. Limbs don’t grow back, hair does. Cutting my hair is just a symbol of what these brave men and women have sacriďŹ ced.â€?

Superintendent Mark Ward said that he and a committee of staff members are looking at ways to use funds being made available to schools through the state’s “Smart Schools Bond Act.â€? ECS is eligible to receive $344,000 to be used toward capital projects that improve educational technology and infrastructure. According to the Department of Education, bond proceeds may be used for capital projects to: acquire learning technology equipment or facilities, including but not limited to interactive whiteboards, computer servers, and desktop, laptop and tablet computers; install high-speed broadband or wireless internet connectivity for schools and communities; construct, enhance, and modernize educational facilities to accommodate prekindergarten programs and to provide instructional space to replace classroom trailers; and install high-tech security features in school buildings and on school campuses, including but not limited to video surveillance, emergency notiďŹ cation systems, and
physical access controls. Currently, the committee is looking at some combination of allowable capital purchases listed above. Ward also said that staff has been busy interviewing candidates for two open teaching positions: one elementary school teacher and a business teacher. Several teacher aides will be hired in the coming weeks as well. Ward also asked the board to approve creation of new position for a middle school/ special education teacher. The request was approved by the board. In addition, Ward asked the board to approve a memorandum of understanding with SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry to provide a college credit-level course to high school students next school year. The next meeting of the ECS School Board will be held on Tuesday, July 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library. This will be the board’s annual reorganizational meeting. All are welcome to attend.
The Blitz By Patrick Dineen, ECS 6th Grader, Member, Ellicottville Young Writers and Illustrators Club
Last week at the Ellicottville Young Writers and Illustrators’ Club, we were honored to listen to Mr. Wally Holland, Sr. Mr. Holland was talking about “The Blitz� (The Battle of Britain) which he lived through. He was about 6 years old at the time! He is now 81 years old. ‘The Blitz’ was between 1939 and 1945 and Germany wanted to destroy England’s industrial might, so they bombed London, Manchester and Coventry in repeated air attacks. Coventry was completely destroyed and had to be rebuilt after the war ended. England had to set-up many
defenses to protect their cities from these nightly attacks. They used barrage balloons, ACAC guns (anti aircraft guns), and the Royal Air force (R.A.F) to take down the bombers. Life was hard for people during this time. They had to go underground in air raid shelters. Wally’s family could only take their mattresses down. Every day when they came out of the shelters they didn’t know if their own house would still be standing. They could only carry with them whatever they could carry when the sirens went off. There was rationing of all food. They used ‘ration cards’ and were only allowed so much food to eat, including candy. The German ‘V-bomber’ aircraft dropped bombs which
had a distinct whistle which everyone recognized. When the whistle stopped there was complete silence. This silence brought a chill down everyone’s spine because they all knew that this was when and where the bomb was dropping. One of the only things people cared about during ‘The Blitz’ was that their family was alive. For a time, bombing got really bad and Mr. Holland’s family sent him and his sister to ‘Stonyhurst’ in the countryside for his protection. All the children were called “evacuees.� This has been a new and interesting point of view to hear. Instead of a story being told from a soldier’s standpoint, it’s told from a civilian’s standpoint.
