Two Wheels All the Rage Road Biking and Mountain Bike Stunts Take the Stage By Eva Potter
This weekend in Ellicottville is all about pedal power. A premier road cycling event and a unique mountain bike stunt show highlight how you can have a blast on two wheels. The first annual Cycling Weekend is taking place at Holiday Valley, June 6–8, when registered riders will take to area roads for long-distance rides. If you encounter riders on area roads, please be sure to give them lots of room to enjoy the road along with you. Also this weekend, the Chris Clark Mountain Bike Stunt Show, on tour through Bell Helmets, is scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday, June 7-8, in the village on Monroe Street. Clark’s technical mountain bike performance loaded with tricks and obstacles will take place both days in the village on the northern side of Monroe Street, which will be closed to traffic. Clark will be performing two shows daily at noon and 3 p.m. in front of the Winery of Ellicottville. The shows are free to the public. Clark, who has entertained crowds at the Gravity Games, the Vans Warped Tour, the New York Times Square Parade and the Olympic Games, is a dedicated professional stunt cyclist with over a decade of experience. You won’t want to miss the exciting demonstration portion of this family-friendly event. It’s not your ordinary ramp and tricks stunt exhibition. When you come to Clark’s show, you’ll see this talented cyclist use years of intense training, agility and balance as he slowly works his way up to some impressively large obstacles, including his 8-foot-tall trailer. Clark’s high-energy stunts and skills translate well to

Area Cancer Survivors, Families, Volunteers Need Your Support with cancer. If you practice regular self-exams and have routine checkups, you’ll have the best chance of detecting cancer early. And early detection means better treatment outcomes. One Ellicottville resident knows only too well the benefits of taking this advice. Shawna Gursky knew her risk for breast cancer was high. Her mother is a 25-year breast cancer survivor. Her cousin is a breast cancer survivor. So Gursky had been doing monthly self-breast exams religiously since age 18. By Jann Wiswall Last July, at age 28, she felt a lump. Some of the most important advice imparted “I guess I wasn’t really surprised since there’s by the American Cancer Society is to know a history,” she said. “Somehow I was ready for your risk for cancer and to know your body. If it, and ready to fight it.” there’s cancer in your genetic history, there’s In September, a month after her 29th birthday, See Relay for Life page 5 an increased chance that you will be diagnosed

Ellicottville’s Historical Museum Now Open Variety of Curious Exhibits on Display
By Mary Fox
The Ellicottville Historical Museum, located on the Town Square in front of the post office, opened on June 1 for the 2014 season. The museum is open from June to September on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m., with earlier hours during special weekends. Town Historian Mary Elizabeth Dunbar and members of the Ellicottville Historical Society and community serve as hosts to answer questions about the history of Ellicottville. This year’s displays are centered around businesses on Monroe Street shown in pictures and interesting information compiled by Cathy Lacy, vice-president of the Ellicottville Historical Society. Displays of pictures of homes, businesses and industry help to explain Ellicottville’s past. The lumber business was the major industry in Ellicottville and still thrives today with the Fitzpatrick & Weller lumber mill. There is a shoe last blocks display of wooden forms for making shoes, which was an exclusive business in Ellicottville until plastic replaced wood. The Louisville Sluggers billets were made here and the basket factory made ammunition boxes during the war. And there is the story of Abe Maybe, a runaway slave boy, who was taken in by the Coit family. Toys from the past, the oil chandelier from the courthouse ballroom, and human and ox yokes are a few of the artifacts on display. What more fitting a place for a museum than a historic building that has served many

different needs through the years since it was built in 1853 as the County Clerk’s Office. Ellicottville had the distinction of being the county seat long before settlement in Ellicottville began. In 1808, surveyors of the Holland Land Company determined the site where Ellicottville stands today to be the central location of the county, and it was so marked with an iron stake to become the place of the Cattaraugus County Seat. When the Holland Land Company laid out the town, they designated the four corners of the town square for a church, a school and two for county use. A log courthouse and jail were built in 1820 on the northwest corner of the Public Square. The lower floor was used as a jail; the upper floor was the courtroom. It was destroyed by fire in the winter of 1829. By 1831, a brick building was built in its place, and a separate brick jail was built on the northeast corner of the Town Square where the post office stands today. In 1868, county business was moved to Little Valley because of
accessibility to railroad transportation, which Ellicottville at that time did not yet have. The County Court Building became the Town Hall, and the County Clerk’s Office has been used as a bank, a millinery shop, a church, the Hose Company, a high school annex, a library and presently the Ellicottville Historical Museum. In 1887, the jail was dismantled and used for the foundation of the school across the street on the southeast corner of the Town Square, now known as the 1887 Building. In 1894, the volunteer Hose Company took over the old County Clerk’s Office. The firehouse was used by the fire department for meeting rooms and storage of equipment. Vehicles were housed in a building in back of it. A peaked roof was added to the building to hold a belfry, where a bell hung to summon the firefighters. At the sound of the alarm bell, school boys ran across the street from the school and pulled the hand drawn pumper to the fire, often arriving at the scene before the firemen. In 1947, a dispute that lasted several years erupted over the location of a new school. The shortage of class rooms in the 1887 Building forced the school to move some classes out of the building into various places in town. Lucille Harris spent most of her teaching career teaching high school home economics in the old County Clerk’s Office classroom. The Ellicottville Historical Society took residence in the building in 1969, after a fire destroyed the museum in the Town Hall. Stop in and check out this historic building and its many displays of Ellicottville’s past any Saturday or Sunday this summer. You will be welcomed by friendly hosts who will guide you through the displays or you may browse around by yourself. Either way, enjoy looking into Ellicottville’s past!

Understanding Countersteering By The Road Toad
Probably all of you use countersteering, yet many of you may not realize it and more may not understand it. Basically, on a motorcycle or any two-wheeled vehicle, once you are traveling over 10-12 mph, if you want to go right, you push on the right hand grip. Want to go left? Push on the left! Right? Right. Wait, how can that be? If I push on the right hand grip, that should point the front wheel to the left! Right? Then how is it, that I go right? And vice versa for the other side — push left grip, go left. Well, it all has to do with physics, geometry and moving through space — and big words and mind-numbing terms like tire side force, gyroscopic precession, rotary momentum
and more. But, basically, what it all boils down to is this: Over 10-12 mph, push right to go right, push left to go left. Here’s a simpler way to look at how countersteering works. At speed, when you push right, for an instant your front wheel goes to the left at the same exact instant your center of gravity goes to the right — or the inside of the turn. An immediate adjustment caused by the “trail” of your bike — and all the other fancy words I referred to before — and your wheel aligns with the right turn. So in simpler terms, you sort of “stumble” into your turn. It is not that simple, but it works and I’m not likely to express it any clearer. Leaning, speed and turn radius area all part of maneuvering your bike safely, but the immediate and most
direct response you want is solid countersteering skills. You should go to an open area, like a parking lot, and practice intentionally using countersteering. Like I said, you probably do anyway, but once you become aware and proficient, you will find you will be much quicker in your responses to hazards like potholes or debris on the road, not to mention when you need a quick defensive response to a traffic situation. Like all things you want to excel at, you should practice. Just riding to and fro and not falling down does not hone your skills. Biking is exciting, exhilarating and fraught with hazard. You want to last longer? Get gooder on your scooter! Stay Alert! Stay Alive!

Pinterest Craze Makes Its Way to the Southern Tier Six Weeks of Pinterest-Inspired Art Classes
The increasingly popular website Pinterest has taken the creative world by storm and the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) is pleased to present a series of art classes inspired by the site. Pinterest works as an online visual discovery tool, allowing users to collect ideas and “pin” them on their own virtual inspiration board. During this new series of classes, students will explore their own creativity and discover some of the most popular projects that Pinterest has to offer. The inspiration for the series came from arts council staff, which has come to use the online tool regularly for everything from decorating ideas to class planning. CCAC’s Programs and Grants Manager, Courtney Mealy, will lead the class. “We’ve noticed that the popularity of Pinterest has really empowered a lot of people to explore their creative sides. These are folks who may not consider themselves artists but have a great deal of artistic talent and interest. Pinterest provides a wealth of inspiration and we’re taking it a step further by walking
students through the creative process and introducing new mediums and techniques in a fun and relaxed setting. We know that sometimes it’s hard to squeeze in time for your own hobbies and interests, and the class schedule was designed with that in mind,” she noted. The Pinterest Inspiration series will launch at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, June 2, with a Garden Stepping Stone tutorial. Students will learn how to make a concrete mosaic stepping stone that incorporates pieces of glass, ceramic tile, pebbles, and more. The gardening theme continues on June 9 with Ceramic Garden Stakes and on June 16 with Paper Flowers. Students will learn a variety of techniques to produce stunning, life-like flowers from crepe paper, tissue paper and much more. During the June 23 session, the class will learn to work with leather and produce a wallet or clutch, and on the 30th, they will enjoy an introduction to functional pottery with Ceramic Plates. The final class on July 7 will cover the art of Paper Quilling, a decorative paper folding technique first popularized during the Renaissance and
now enjoying a huge rise in popularity. Students who wish to enroll can sign up for individual classes for $35 each or register for the entire series for $200. All classes will be held on Monday evenings from 6:308:30 p.m. at the Cattaraugus County Arts Council studio at 100 W. Main St. in Allegany. Arts council members receive a discount, so consider joining today! To register or for more information, please contact Courtney Mealy at courtney@ myartscouncil.net or call (716) 372-7455. The Cattaraugus County Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has served the greater Cattaraugus County region for more than 16 years with quality arts programs and services. The organization boasts a strong mission dedicated to promoting the creation, presentation and appreciation of arts and culture in the region, while nurturing education and commerce in the arts. CCAC is funded by the New York State Council on the Arts and by members and donors. For more information, see www.myartscouncil.net.

Twenty Years of Hosting Reduced to a “Top Ten List” Almost a quarter of a century ago, I raised my hand at a meeting to offer my services as a volunteer. The meeting of Port Colborne citizens was so contentious, it had to be moved from city hall to a larger venue at the Canadian Legion. I was part of a core group of culturalists determined to turn the flagging Port Colborne Club into a theatre for the arts. Against us were naysayers and business people who opposed the use of tax dollars to compete with their private entertainment establishments. The guy who spoke before me—Joe of Joe’s Bar—got so worked up that he ended his pitch by saying that he was “not going to kiss Shirley Coppen’s ass!” Shirley was the local provincial government rep. I began my pitch by stating that Joe was playing dirty pool because the mental image of kissing Shirley Coppen’s ass has sent 15 guys running for the Belmont Hotel and ... they were my supporters!!! Having just come off the book tour with Hey! Is That Guy Dead Or Is He Skip!?! I was only too anxious to see the club’s curling rinks ripped up. So I raised my hand and offered to start an author series in Port Colborne if the club became an arts theatre. We won the day, government money arrived and the ol’ boys club was converted into a beautiful 300-seat theatre, with the bar and salons of the circa 1860 stately homestead nicely preserved. Last Tuesday evening, I raised my hand again, but this time it was to wave goodbye to the theatre and almost 300 patrons who had come to my last author evening to hear the amazing story of Olympic sensation Silken Laumann. But what a wonderful, 20year literary ride it was! I did the first reading of Malcolm And Me - Life in the Litterbox and the next author I brought to the stage was Stephen Red with Jackrabbit Parole. Stephen had just been released from prison for robbing
banks— a lot of banks, and all but one successfully. When Maeve Railton could not find a sponsor for the evening, I suggested she try the four banks in town. “No, really,” I persisted, “it would be educational for the employees to hear how the mind of a robber works.” Maeve retuned a few days later and began her sponsorship report with “You A$$!%#*. They all said “no” and one of them escorted me to the door. And they all want you to call them!” “Why?” “They want to know exactly when Stephen Reid is arriving and when he’s leaving town.” Twenty years and 189 author evenings later, here then is the laugh track and highlight reel: My Top Ten List Of Two Decades Hosting Readings At The Roselawn. #10. Having dinner with the great Pierre Burton at Lucy’s when a drunk staggers over, slaps him on the back and says: “So Peter. Have you written anything good lately?” #9. Watching the face of Talwood Manor’s Judith Boroniec as author Wayne Johnson did a detailed and passionate fiveminute tirade on how much he hates B&Bs. #8. Being on stage with David Gilmore with his wife in the front row as he stumbled into a matrimonial mine field and talked his way out of the third marriage. #7. Instructing the sponsors at dinner that Conrad Black must be addressed as Lord Back Of Crossharbour, only to have John Marsh lean over and say: “So Connie, what’s this Lord Black bullshit all about?” (John Marsh hereafter to be addressed as “The Earl Of Cedar Crest.” #6. The nightly challenge of trying to get the author to the microphone before two ladies in the second row started snoring. #5. After all those author evenings, the thing I’ll miss the most is when I hear Marty Parr
introduce me, then I hear your warm applause, then I beckon the house manager with: “For Chrissakes Roberta, the door to the stage is locked again.” #4. Having a drink with amazing Alistair MacLeod at Winchester’s when another guy staggers over and tells him a really raunchy Rolling Stones joke that ends with: “Hey MacLeod, get off of my ewe.” #3. Standing next to legendary Mordecai Richler in the Q&A as Margaret Barker rose to announce she had purchased every book he’d ever written for her husband and after he thanked her profusely she added: “And he hated every one of them.” #2. Calling my publisher and that evening’s author, Anna Porter, three hours before the event to make sure she was clear on how to get to Port Colborne, only to have her get snippy with me by saying: “Of course I don’t need directions. I happen to have a summer home in Port Carling.” #1. And the number one moment was years ago in the signing lounge autographing copies of Margaret And Me, when someone in line asked my mother to sign her name, which she did, again and again, with her signature getting bigger and bolder until there was no room for my signature until finally we got into a fight over who wrote the damn book anyway. So there you have it, 20 years of hosting a reading series - more fun than one man should be allowed in one lifetime. If you were there even once, may I say thank you and goodbye.

In making its award determination, NYSSBA looks at the “extent to which the candidate’s recognition will inspire other school board members to make similar or even greater contributions. The winner should be a role model for school board members.” Wiley, who was surprised with the announcement, said he was “humbled” by the recognition. “It’s been a privilege representing the school and the district,” he said. “When I first came to the board, our goal was to watch the money — watch it closely. We haven’t been extravagant, and we’re still watching the money. That’s why we’re in such good shape. Things look very promising for the future,” he added. Capital Project Update ECS Superintendent Mark Ward announced that the school is, at long last, in receipt of the official building permit from the State Education Department, giving the school the green light to proceed with the capital improvement project. Bid requests have already been advertised and there is significant interest from regional firms. Ward said at least eight general contractors are bidding, which will keep the project competitive. Bids will be reviewed by the board at its June 24 meeting. Ward said a bond anticipation note of $850,000 will be issued to the school on
June 15 to serve as seed money to pay for the first stages of the project, which include asbestos abatement and demolition. Construction is likely to begin in late July. Ward also announced that the Sports Boosters will be selling one-square-foot sections of the school gym floor to raise funds for its activities and to give people a chance to own a little piece of Ellicottville history. Superintendent’s Report In other business, Ward said the school has hired a land appraisal firm to provide a second opinion on the value of acreage owned by ECS between the school and Holiday Valley. He also asked the building and grounds committee to schedule a meeting to consider some options related to revamping the school’s boilers and to look at the cost-benefit of improving the energy efficiency of lighting in certain sections of the school. He also reported that the June newsletter is almost ready to go out to print and that it features the senior class, top students and the many accomplishments students of all ages have made this year. Board Actions The board approved a resolution to enter into an agreement with Erie 1 BOCES to purchase copiers and related equipment through an installment purchase agreement for five years at a cost of $339.49 per month. The board also approved a request for transportation services for the summer 2014 recreation program, hourly rates for the driver’s education teacher
for the next four years and hiring Chris Mendell as that teacher for this summer. The board also accepted a letter of retirement from Richard Burkhard effective June 30. The board also is reviewing purchasing, procurement and instructional materials policy changes, as well as revisions to policies related to the prohibition of weapons on school grounds and the GunFree School Act. In addition, it is reviewing proposed changes to school lunch prices. Ward noted that any increases will be minimal, noting that the goal is to cover rising costs, not to make money. “We just want to come close to breaking even,” he said. Principal’s Report Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller thanked the board and administration for their support during his recent five-week, healthrelated absence from school. As is the case at the end of every school year, many events and activities are coming up this month, including the year-end sports banquet, the Club Jazz concert, the father/ daughter dance sponsored by the Student Council, the BOCES graduation at Pioneer Central School and, of course, ECS graduation. This is also final exam season, which is moving along smoothly, he said. The next meeting of the ECS school board will be held on Tuesday, June 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library.

Jamestown Audubon Announces 2014 Nature Photo Contest Jamestown — The Jamestown (NY) Audubon Society is encouraging anyone who enjoys photography — from beginners to professionals — to enter their images for consideration in the 2014 Nature Photography Contest. “We have winter to finish and spring and summer coming before entries must be submitted,” said Audubon Center and Sanctuary Program Director Jennifer Schlick. “If you don’t have a photo you’ve already taken that you want to enter, there is plenty of time to get outdoors and do some shooting!” The deadline for this fourth annual competition is June 30, 2014. Schlick explained that part of Jamestown Audubon’s mission is to connect people with nature. “The photo contest helps us fulfill that mission in two ways: The photographer connects with nature while making images and the viewer becomes inspired to connect
In 2013 Powell, Ohio, youth Jenna Van Kley’s “Double-crested Cormorant” won the Youth Wildlife category. with nature by seeing the images.” She added that the purpose of the contest is to give photographers an outlet to share their work and have it judged, while at the same time inspiring others to connect with nature and raising money to support the work of the Audubon Center & Sanctuary in Jamestown, N.Y. All entries are submitted electronically, making it a very simple process. Prizes will be awarded in three categories and two
divisions. The Youth Division is for ages 8-18 or still in high school; adult is 18 and over or post-high school. Youth and adult winners in the categories of Landscapes, Plants, and Wildlife will all receive a $100 cash prize. Images of winners from previous nature photography contests can be viewed at www. jasphotocontest.com. Full details for the competition can be found at http://jasphotocontest.com/.
Celebrating Rainy Day &Sunny Day Games! Children are awesome! That is why there is a ‘Children’s Day’. This year ‘Children’s Day’ is on the 20th of November. We all like to play games. We often play them inside during a rainstorm. Some of our favorites include ‘Life’, ‘Monopoly’, and ‘Charades’. Sometimes, we play them with our friends. We also play games outside on a sunny day like softball, ultimate ‘Frisbee’, and sometimes made-up games like ‘Tag’. We have a blast playing games! by Meganne C. Yahtzee is a game that you have to try and get the highest score with dice. You roll the dice and record everything on a score sheet. The person with the highest score wins. The game takes about 20 minutes to play. We would recommend this game to people who like math and enjoy a challenging game with friends because it is a fun game that involves adding numbers. by Ava D., Lily D. and Haylee C.
Hay Day I think Hay Day is a good game you can get free in the app store. In Hay Day you build your own farm. You can get a lot of things like a sugar maker to make sugar far the ice cream in the ice cream maker. In the ice cream maker you make a lot of ice cream. If you work for a lot of hours on the makers you get three gold stars. Then they put a big star somewhere on the maker. There are animals too. The animals I have are three cow pens and chicken coops. I have two pig pens and one goat pen. You collect milk from the cows and goats. You collect eggs from the chickens and bacon from the pigs. There are also dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, and donkeys too. You have to feed milk to the cat and bacon to the dogs. The bunnies, horses, and the donkeys all eat carrots. You get your carrots and other crops from the fields. In the fields you plant the crops to make food for the animals. The food makers only make food for the chickens, cows, pigs and the goats. You have to pay diamonds to get more slots for food. Soon, when the levels get too high, you can start over. I have one friend in Hay Day that is on level 121. I think you can get to level 10,000 before you have to start over. I am only on level 40. I think Hay Day is a good choice to get for free from the App Store on your iPad. by Victoria P.

Monopoly is a game of moneymaking. You start out with $1,500 and use this money to try to overthrow other players, gain more money, and own the city. You can buy houses, businesses, and even go to jail. by Noah
The Game of Life is my favorite board game to play either on a rainy day or just late at night at home with my brother. I love this game because it is so fun to stage through the life cycle of one of us. You start as choosing to be a college student or to just go on with your life after High school. The only thing about the new game I don’t like is it isn’t very realistic. For example, after one pay day of being a mechanic you earn 100,000 dollars! I LOVE the older version of Life because if you don’t have enough money to buy a house or go to college, you don’t go! The older game is very realistic and I love playing the game of life! by Saidy Bolya

Small Business Health Insurance Options OLEAN – Since October 1, 2013, NYS Small Businesses could enroll their employees into the SHOP - Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) Marketplace. Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce will host two seminars to educate small businesses about the health reform law, address their current insurance coverage needs, and help inform the design and development of the marketplace. The seminars (both with similar format) will be held Thursday, June 5 at 8 a.m., and Tuesday, June 10 at 11:45 a.m. Both will be at the chamber office, 120 North
Union St. in Olean. “1,319,239 New Yorkers have completed their applications and 960,762 have enrolled for coverage since the launch of the Marketplace on October 1, 2013. More than 70 percent of those who have enrolled to date were uninsured at the time of application. Activity remains high at the NY State of Health Customer Service Center with more than 55,000 calls answered over the last week. The Customer Service Center has answered more than 1 million calls since the launch of the Marketplace,” according to the latest report from the NY
State of Health. The update will showcase tax credits for small businesses that offer health insurance to their employees. The credits are available for tax years 2010 to 2015 and offer up to 50 percent of premiums paid. Also, for those not insured, triggering events exist to enroll you during “off enrollment” periods. For more information on the updates, to register for the free update, or to set up an individual appointment, please contact GOACC by calling (716) 372-4433 or emailing brenda@oleanny.com.

The boys’ varsity baseball team also concluded their season with a loss in the Section 6 Class D final against North Collins. The team is losing some key players, but as in softball, the future of ECS baseball look very bright with some very promising young players coming up in the system.

Simply Food: RHUBARB BARS By Liz Bares
Rhubarb is full of potassium. Potassium is crucial for life. Your heart, kidneys and other organs need potassium to work normally. If your potassium levels are low, you have a greater risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer, infertility and digestive disorders. Rhubarb also has calcium and vitamin C. It’s an all-around healthy food! Rhubarb can be tough to choke down on its own due to its extreme tartness. This is why most folks pair it with strawberries for a delicious
pie. This recipe is sort of like a rhubarb crisp but with two layers of “dough” so the rhubarb is sandwiched inbetween. My son is a big pie eater, much more than cookies or cake, so I pack these in his lunchbox for a sweet treat. We will be roasting the rhubarb before we make it into a bar so this recipe has two steps essentially. The bars last for about five days in your fridge. You could probably freeze them, too. I’ve never done it; they may defrost on the soggy side. I like these bars on the tart
side, so you can increase your sugar a bit if you’d like them a bit sweeter. If you keep them on the tart side, you can eat them for breakfast without too much guilt — at least that is what I tell myself.
Rhubarb Bars 1 pound of rhubarb 1/3 cup coconut sugar 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup old fashioned oats )quick oats work well too, in a pinch) 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon flax seeds pinch of salt 8 tablespoons butter, melted For roasting the rhubarb, heat your oven to about 350 degrees. Cut up your rhubarb in 1/4” pieces. You want the rhubarb to lie nicely so your bar is easy to eat with your fingers. Toss together the rhubarb and the sugar. Place in a small baking dish and roast for about 20-30 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft but not mushy. Let cool. For the topping, place all ingredients, starting with flour and ending with butter, into a large bowl. Use a fork to gently stir everything together. You want to make sure the topping isn’t too crumbly.
CCB Hosts “Parking Lot Sale” in Randolph LITTLE VALLEY- The America’s Promise Team at CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank) is very happy to announce a new fundraiser. They are hosting a sale in the parking lot of their Randolph branch on Saturday, June 14, from 9 a.m to 4 p.m. America’s Promise team members have been collecting donations for a few months and hope to be busy selling the goods as that particular weekend is the weekend of Randolph’s Annual Arts & Crafts Festival.

customers. “The cookbooks are just $10 and all other merchandise will be fairly priced in true yard sale style,” states CCB’s America’s Promise Chair, Mary Jo Woodarek. “Our efforts help children of all ages in all of our service areas.

It’s a great cause!” CCB joined America’s Promise in 1999. By doing so, an alliance was formed to ensure five resources children need are provided: 1. An ongoing relationship with a caring adult-mentor 2. Access to safe places & structured activities during
non-school hours 3. A healthy start 4. A marketable skill through effective education 5. An opportunity to give back through community service.

Meet Jack. Our Pet of the Week
From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
“Delicious” by Ruth Reichl Billie Breslin has traveled far from her home in California to take a job at B Delicious!, Deli New York’s most iconic food magazine. Away from her family, particularly part her older sister, Genie, Billie feels like a fish out of water—until she is welcomed by the magazine’s colorful staff. She is also seduced by the vibrant vibr downtown food scene, especially by Fontanari’s, the famous Italian food shop sho where she works on weekends. Then Delicious! is abruptly shut down, but Billie Bil agrees to stay on in the empty office, maintaining the hotline for reader complaints in order to pay her bills. com To Billie’s surprise, the lonely job becomes the portal to a miraculous discovery. In a hidden room in the magazine’s library, Billie finds a cache of di letters written during World War II by Lulu Swan, a plucky twelve-year-old, to let the legendary chef James Beard. Lulu’s letters provide Billie with a richer understanding of history and a feeling of deep connection to the young writer whose courage in the face of hardship inspires Billie to come to terms with her fears, her big sister and her ability to open her heart to love.

Health & Fitness: Jump Roping
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
As a personal trainer, it is my job to keep my clients not only motivated but also interested in working out. This means I need to constantly stay up on all trends and be ready to integrate these trends at a moment’s notice. The cardio warm up before a strength training session
is very important and should never be ignored. It does not have to be complicated; it just needs to get your muscles warm and your heart rate up. Recently, I started integrating the jump rope into my cardio warm ups. Simple, yet oh so efficient. Just 10 minutes of jumping rope can provide the same cardio benefits of 30 minutes of running, two sets of tennis or 45 minutes of racquetball. It also shores up the entire kinetic chain (your body’s interconnected system of muscles, joints, and tendons), starting with your feet and ankles, to build the functional strength needed for day-to-day tasks such as carrying heavy bags or children. Size Does Matter: By
standing on the center of the rope and pulling the handles up, you should be able to reach your shoulders. More advanced jumpers can choose a shorter rope where the handles extend only as high as the armpits. Jump Softly: After each jump, land softly on the balls of the feet. Avoid using ropes with weighted handles as this can put stress on your wrists with little to no benefit. Feel the Burn: If you have not jumped rope in many years, start out slow. Jump for 30-second intervals and work your way up to one minute. When you can sustain a steady rate of jumping for three minutes, you are well on your way to a new level of cardio and core strength.
Farm to Table in Just a Few Miles
Canticle Offers Fresh Produce Three Ways By Eva Potter
Local farms have already begun harvesting this year’s crops, and those who enjoy spring shares at Canticle Farm already know about the delicious bounty of this Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm, in Allegany, N.Y. Canticle Farm is a fourseason, local farm offering fresh, locally grown produce and locally sourced related products, using Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) principles. While you don’t have to be a member to purchase from the weekly Canticle Farm Market, it won’t take long before you’re hooked on the taste of super fresh produce and you’re reaching for your pen to fill out a shareholder application. Summer shares are still available. Yes, it’s easy, cost-effective, convenient and oh so healthy so be a shareholder at Canticle Farm. Summer shares are distributed for 17 weeks from about June 17 into October. That’s a lot of healthy eating! You will enjoy 6–10 vegetables weekly, based on what is in season and available. You can pick up your share at the farm on Tuesdays or Fridays from 2–6 p.m. Shares may contain items like beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, collards, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, greens, herbs, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, melons, mesclun mix, Napa cabbage, onions, pac choi (Chinese cabbage), peas, peppers, potatoes, radishes, shallots, spinach, squash, Swiss chard,
tomatoes (heirloom, hybrid, paste, cherry) and turnips. Pick-your-own crops may include beans, peas, cherry tomatoes, herbs, flowers and soybeans. You can even get locally sourced strawberries and corn! Other local vendors sometimes have cheese, honey, meats and eggs for sale. Individual shares — enough for one person — start at $190. Family-size shares are available. That’s a bargain for a weekly cornucopia of super fresh, healthy food. You can also choose from participating and non-participating shares. If you think you would enjoy working on the farm, then a participating share is for you. The cost is less because you help with farm chores like fieldwork (picking beans or peas, scuffle hoeing, plant thinning, onion topping), general maintenance (carpentry, painting, equipment repair), special events and active committee work to offset the labor costs. It only takes you a few hours during the entire season for a memorable experience — great for families who want their children to understand where their food comes from! In exchange for additional volunteer hours, a limited number of partnership shares are also available at a lower rate to families with incomes under $25,000 or who receive Medicaid, SSI or food stamps. Please contact the Canticle Farm office for more information by calling (716) 373-0200, ext. 3358. Canticle Farm also donates shares to the needy in our area through donations, grants and shares donated by individuals.
Another way to purchase fresh Canticle produce is to visit the REAP (Rural Enterprise Association of Proprietors) Olean Farmers’ Market on Saturdays, May into October, 8 a.m.–1 p.m., in the Jamestown Community College parking lot at 260 N. Union St. (Route 16) — take the entrance with the wrought iron arch. Right now, you can look forward to lettuce mix, mesclun mix, lettuce heads, kale, spinach, Swiss chard, broccolini petals, poc choi, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, shallots and onions. EBT and debit card processing is accepted by many of the other vendors to make your market purchases more convenient. Ask any vendor at the market for details. If you only want occasional fresh produce and farm products, then starting June 17, stop on Tuesdays and Fridays at the Farm Market located at 3809 Old State Rd. (Route 417) in Allegany, N.Y. It’s open to the public 2–6 p.m. Lastly, if you’d rather have someone else cook great tasting, healthy food for you, then visit local restaurants like Ellicottville’s Bike and Bean and Attard’s restaurant in Olean, which use Canticle’s fresh produce when available. Canticle Farm is located at 3835 South Nine Mile Rd. in Allegany. For more details, visit Canticle Farm on Facebook or at www.canticlefarm.org. Email canticleoffice@yahoo. com or call (716) 373-0200, ext. 3358, to get on their newsletter email list.

Cycling Weekend Continued from Front Page
the technical and challenging mountain biking terrain found on Ellicottville’s epic trail network, which provides plenty of intermediate to expert routes through Holiday Valley and HoliMont resorts and nearby state forest lands. “People coming to the Ellicottville show are going to get to see something they have probably never seen before. Most people have seen a BMX bike show where riders hit a ramp and do aerial tricks. My show is a little bit different,” explained Clark. “Mountain bike trials is all about getting your bike up and
over obstacles. It’s actually a very pertinent show for the Northeast because riding in this area is so technical, and even amateur riders have to be pretty proficient at overcoming steep hills, downed trees and rocks.” During his educational portion of the show, Clark’s Athletes Who Say NO program delivers a very positive message to the younger set designed “to inspire children to find an active, healthy passion and use their desire to constantly improve as a means for keeping their lives on track, making healthy decisions and
surrounding themselves with like-minded friends.” “It’s an exciting show, even if you aren’t a bike riding enthusiast. It’s definitely something most people haven’t seen and probably didn’t know was possible on a bike,” said Clark. “After the show, I give away free autograph cards and each card enters you to win my $3,000 bike at the end of the season.” The Ellicottville shows are sponsored by Wingate by Wyndham and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce.
Muddy, Slippery Fun Continued from Front Page
and ropes to help you on the steeps. Some new obstacles have been thrown in as secret surprises. No spoilers here! The grand finale is a ride down a slippery mudslide, landing you at the base of Yodeler Lodge. Snowgun “showers” and changing facilities are available. If you’re more of a spectator, then ride the chairlift to the top for only $5. Holiday Valley’s Marketing Director, Jane Eshbaugh, remarked, “With a course that is mostly downhill and obstacles that are designed to challenge but not intimidate, the event attracts a wide variety of people of all ages and athletic abilities.” Last chance to register is
in person on Friday, June 13, at Yodeler Lodge from 4–8 p.m., or register now at www. Race day registration is not available. If you are already registered, come pick up your race packet that evening and listen to live entertainment by the Bleeding Hearts band from 6–10 p.m. Come enjoy a nice evening of corn hole or other games for some good clean fun before getting down and muddy the next day. Registered competitors will receive a technical T-shirt, super cool finisher’s medal, goodie bag and a post-race party on the Champagne Deck with a hot dog two beers or other beverages, while DJ John Barry keeps the party hopping. Costumes are encouraged and
prizes will be awarded to the most creative. Prizes will also be awarded to the overall three fastest males and females. Chip timing and mat starts and finishes will be in place this year. Kid’s half-mile Mini Mudslide Race has two obstacles plus the mudslide and costs $5 (ages 3 to 12). Register for kids’ event at Yodeler Deck.

ASP Hosts PAIN in the Alleganies June 22
Half Iron, Aquabike, Duathlons and More By Alicia Dziak
Allegany State Park (ASP) is known for its natural beauty, large lakes and miles of trails. While many go to enjoy camping, hiking and fishing, many others go to get some hard-core exercise, and you’ll see many of those people in the park on June 22 for Pain in the Alleganies. It’s not too late to register. PAIN in the Alleganies is a series of competitions, brought to the park by Score-this.com. “Everyone should consider participating in PAIN in the Alleganies. It is designed for all skills levels,” said race coordinator Rich Clark. “We will have the seasoned multisport veterans and typically get many first timers.” The Half Iron Triathlon consists of a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run. Registration is $212, with a discount available for USAT members. Recommended minimum age for this event is 18. The Aquabike Half Iron combines a 1.2-mile swim and
56-mile bike ride. Registration is $212, with a discount available for USAT members. Recommended minimum age is 18. The Intermediate Triathlon is comprised of a 0.6-mile swim, a 28-mile bike ride and 6.55-mile run. Registration is $112, with a discount available for USAT members. Recommended minimum age is 15. The Sprint Triathlon challenges competitors to a 0.6-mile swim, a 12.4-mile bike ride, and a 3.1-mile run. Registration is $87, with a discount available for USAT members.

Sprint Tri Relay combines a 0.6-mile swim, a 12.4-mile bike ride and a 3.1-mile run. It’s limited to 10 teams and registration cost is $140. Racecourses take advantage of the variety of terrain within ASP. “The bike is on the roads of ASP 2, APS 3 and then ASP 1 in a clockwise direction for the long distance athletes and only one ASP 1 for the shorter distance athletes,” explained Clark. “All of the bike routes stay within the park. All of the running course is on the paved walkways within the park. Most of the run course skirts Red House Lake and also passes in front of the Red House Administration Building. The views are spectacular.” With so many options choose, dedicated athletes are sure to find an event that challenges them to the fullest. Add in the unmatched ASP scenery, and you’ve got yourself a truly rewarding day! For more information, visit www.score-this.com.

‘Quercus’ Painting Exhibition Opens June 13 The Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) is pleased to invite the public to the opening of “Quercus,” a new exhibition of work from painter Sean Huntington. A reception is scheduled for Friday, June 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the Jamestown Community College’s Center Gallery in Olean. Quercus, Latin for oak, is a scientific, historical, personal and artistic exploration of the White Oak tree, which towers over the artist’s childhood home. Huntington commented, “The goal is to push my own boundaries in an interdisciplinary way. My nineto-five job is art, mainly selling my work at festivals and at my studio in Ellicottville.
‘Quercus’ is the result of a growing desire to explore my ideas without the constraints of having to make something that will sell. The show I’m creating is free of those constraints, and will explore how my own notalways-ideal history intersects with the tree that so influenced my imagination and artwork.” The exhibition will include both watercolor and oil paintings, as well as a core sample from the oak tree that served as the inspiration for the show. The exhibition will open at the JCC Center Gallery with a reception on June 13 and will remain on display through July 31. The reception is free and open to the public and includes happy hour refreshments and
hors d’oeuvres as well as a talk by the artist Sean Huntington. “Sean has been a consistent friend to the arts council for many years,” commented new Executive Director Tina Hastings, “so I’m excited that I’ll be making my first public appearance with CCAC at his reception. I look forward to meeting many arts council supporters and members that night as we celebrate Sean’s new work.” The Center Gallery is located on the second floor, inside the College Center building at 260 N. Union St. in downtown Olean — just inside and to the right of the iron archway into JCC from N. Union Street.
