Americana Weekend Art, Music and Fun! An Ellicottville tradition returns this weekend with the Americana Folk Art & Music Fair, happening July 18-19 in the Ellicottville Village Square (Town Hall and Gazebo area). Bring the kids for this free and family-friendly event that features local artists showing their creations and demonstrating their crafts from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Check out artists presenting ceramics, folk art birdhouses, painting, photography, pottery, rustic furniture, stained glass, weaving and spinning, wood working and more, as well as the work of several young artists. Don’t miss the live auction to benefit the Rotary Club of Ellicottville on Saturday at 2 p.m. featuring pieces of art from the fair merchants. Saturday will also feature a quilting workshop and quilt show all day across Washington Street at the Episcopal Church. Of course, what’s a fair without music?

The Rotary Club hot dog cart will be there, along with some great homemade baked goods for you to enjoy. If you’re an artist and would like to be part of this great event, there’s still time to join in! Just show up early for the fair and set up a booth space. It’s free and open to artists of all ages—the only requirements are that the items being sold are made by the person selling them, and that one item is donated to the auction.

IBO Brings in the World’s Best Top Men and Women Archers to Compete at Holiday Valley

Back for the fifth year, the International Bowhunting Organization World Championship will descend on Holiday Valley Resort on Aug 6-9. The World Championship is the final and most important competition of the season for the best-of-the-best male and female shooters in the world.
According to Dave Wisniewski, owner of Dave’s Archery in Erie, PA, the competition is broken into six different levels and then classes within each level, including non-competitive classes, youth competitive classes; entry-level adult classes; advanced amateur classes; semi-pro classes and professional classes. “You’re probably going to see about 12,000 shooters” in Ellicottville, Wisniewski said. “And for some of them, this is all they do, all year long.” To be a qualifier for World’s, Wisniewski said, an archer needs to be within the top 20 percent of shooters after the first, second and third legs of the National Championship Triple Crown. Each class works differently, he said, but the class he will be competing in, Men’s Senior (MSR), consists of shooting 20 animal-like targets over two days, from different fields.

Plant Bids Exceed Estimates Amended Bond Resolution Approved By Jann Wiswall
The Village of Ellicottville’s board accepted the low bid of $4,228,000 for contractor services for the new wastewater treatment plant at its July 13 meeting. The contractor, STC Construction, expects to begin work as soon as next week.
Electrical contractor bids for the project, which are expected to be in the $1.5 million range, will be awarded next month. The original estimated cost of the project was $4.9 million, and that is the amount of a bond resolution that was approved by the Village board
earlier this year. Because the project now exceeds that amount, the board amended the bond resolution to authorize borrowing a total of $5,763,000. In May, the board rejected all bids because they even See Village Board page 8

The Great Valley Town Board on July 13 voted 3-1 to initiate a SEQR (State Environmental Quality Review) on the proposed Sand, Gravel and Clay Mining

Franklinville Farmers Market
By Jann Wiswall
Village planning board members enthusiastically approved plans for architectural revisions to the rear of Ellicottville’s iconic 1887 school building, which is being restored and renovated to create a new condominium property. The historically significant property is being developed by Ellicottville’s John Northrup and Peter Krog, CEO of the Krog Corporation. The only exterior changes that require planning board approval are on the rear of the building, which had an addition that has been removed. Now several windows must be replaced and a new entrance to the underground parking area has been designed to conform to the architectural and historic integrity of the building. The architect explained that some
There’s nothing like that first bite of a juicy, just-picked tomato, is there? From roadside stands to weekly farmers markets, the growing season offers an abundance of locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers, baked goods, honey and maple products, cheese, artisanal baked goods, wine and beer, meat and poultry, and more. Whether eaten out of hand, canned or frozen, anything freshly harvested is always the magic ingredient. When you support local agribusinesses, you are supporting the local economy and you’re rewarded with responsibly grown and produced fruits, vegetables and agricultural products that haven’t been shipped thousands of miles in refrigerated trucks. In addition, you get to meet the hardworking, knowledgeable people who’ve grown this food with pride and love. To help you navigate the farmers markets and farm locations in the area, two new resources have been created to he products you help you find the ugus, Allegany want in Cattaraugus, and Chautauquaa counties and eater region. others in the greater “From the Ground Up: Local Food in Allegany, & Cattaraugus, unties” Chautauqua Counties” page is a handy 50-page on print publication with 100-pluss family farm listings, farmers m a r k e t locations, as well as roadside stands and regional food businesses.

Western New York’s largest and most exible event facility should be one of your premiere summertime destinations over the next six weeks as a variety of special events take place at The Fairgrounds in Hamburg. Of course, the Erie County Fair is the Fairgrounds’ showcase event and this year is no different as the 176th edition of the 12-day celebration takes place on the 265-acre campus located in the Town of Hamburg. But in addition to this summertime centerpiece, The Fairgrounds also will play host to a rock concert featuring two nationally touring acts, as well as a major national convention that is expected to bring in wildlife enthusiasts from all across the country. “The Fairgrounds is Western New York’s entertainment destination and 2015 has proven that with the wide variety of events and activities that we have hosted so far and still have scheduled to take place through the end of the year,â€? said Martin Biniasz, director of entertainment and special projects marketing manager for the Erie County Agricultural Society, the private not-for-proďŹ t membership organization that annually produces the Erie County Fair.

now listed as the third largest fair in North America and one of the reasons we consistently remain popular is the constant introduction of new attractions and exhibits,â€? said Biniasz. “This year we are excited to be introducing our ‘Little Hands on the Farm’ interactive exhibit that is sure to be popular with children. It’s a great example of how we provide hands-on educational experiences about agriculture.â€? The free exhibit, open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., allows children to participate in various “farm choresâ€? that include milking a cow, planting crops, driving a tractor and working in a chicken coop. Then they’ll be able to convert their hard work into “cashâ€? and spend it at a “farmers marketâ€? to purchase a snack for their efforts. Biniasz also notes that during this year’s Erie County Fair the various exhibit buildings will open an hour earlier, at 9 a.m., and there will be free ďŹ reworks displays on August 12, August 20 and August 23. “We say it every year, but the Erie County Fair has something for everyone,â€? said Biniasz. “Free entertainment, great food, outstanding musical entertainers and the livestock barns are just a few to be mentioned as we look to build on last year’s record-breaking year and continue to offer fun for the whole family.â€?

Find Your New You at The Fran Charles Shop
By Jann Wiswall
There’s nothing more helpful for the fashion challenged among us than finding a clothing shop with a knowledgeable, creative, mature staff that can help you find the perfect dress for a special occasion, the swish top to make your jeans look new or that elegant or fun scarf that turns your clothes into an outfit. The Fran Charles Shop in Ellicottville is that kind of boutique and it’s now open in Ellicottville’s Village Centre just next door to EVL Cheese. If the name sounds familiar, it’s because this is the second location for this staple of Bradford, PA, area women shoppers for more than 30 years. You also might remember it from the EVL Fall Festival, where scarves flew off the racks at its booth for several years running. “We knew we wanted to expand into Ellicottville and were looking for an affordable location. The Village Centre fit the bill,” said owner Susan Godfrey. The shop caters to missy customers in sizes 2 petite to 16 who wants to dress for her maturity without compromising her flair. The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in the door is color. The shop is brimming with literally thousands of scarves in every slice of the color wheel. If you’ve never known how to tie a scarf, do not fear – you can learn a few clever techniques from the staff within your first few minutes in the store. How about using a large square scarf as a lightweight shrug? Or looping a long scarf to elongate the torso? Or finding the perfect
accent scarf to bring out the color of your eyes? Then you’ll notice the cool, industrial space with high ceilings, exposed beams, custom display racks and mirrors mounted on skis. Well, maybe you won’t notice the space, because there’s no way you can take your eyes off the clothes! There are snug and flowy tops galore, gorgeous dressy dresses, racks of jeans and capris, and, at center stage, a colorful rounder filled with a huge inventory of Focus Waffle Jackets in all styles and sizes from small to extra large, priced at just $70. The shop is the exclusive Ellicottville supplier of Sno Skins clothing and leggings and also carries designers such as Alex Evenings and Jovani occasion dresses, Damee, Inc. and Skovhuus tops, knitwear and jackets, jeans from JagJeans and French Dressing and many styles of slimming C’est Moi undergarments. Did we mention jewelry? The wide selection includes
statement pieces, matching sets and unique accents. And, come winter, the shop also will be Ellicottville’s exclusive supplier of Crescent Moon snowshoes for men and women. They’ll be available for sale and for rent. If you just don’t have a feel for what looks best on you – especially when looking for a formal dress for an upcoming wedding or other special occasion – you’re in luck. “We know by your body type and coloring what will look great on you,” said clerk Beth Laroche who works in the Ellicottville store and has worked in the Bradford location for more than four years. “Customers are also invited to make special appointments for individualized service. We pull items together in your sizes ahead of time to have everything ready for you and, with some notice, we can order special sizes or colors to have available when you come in,” Laroche added. “It’s all about customer service and expertise,” Godfrey added. “Our clerks know our apparel inside and out, so they understand what works and what doesn’t.” You just don’t get access to that kind of knowledge at the mall. The Fran Charles Shop also has a booming online business that offers XXL sizes as well as some specialty lines. Take a look ahead of time at francharles.com, then stop in for some serious wardrobe building. And look for special coupons in The Ellicottville Times and online, coming soon. The shop is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12-6 p.m. and Sunday from 12-3. Private appointments may be made at your convenience.
Springville Hosts
Fiddler’s Green Country & Bluegrass Festival July 25 Springville’s 4th annual Fiddler’s Green Country and Bluegrass Festival, sponsored by the Concord Historical Society, will be held on Saturday, July 25, with festivities on Franklin St from the Fiddler’s Green Park to the Concord Historical Society’s circa 1890’s General Store at Franklin & Main Streets according to Joel & Jean Maul, co chairman of the festival. The first “Fiddle Fest” was held in 2012 as part of the Town of Concord’s Bicentennial Celebration. For 2013, the name was changed slightly in order to recognize the early name for the Springville/ Concord area, “Fiddler’s Green.” Six bands will provide continuous country and bluegrass music from noon until 6 p.m. The Sunset Bluegrass Band, Blue Mule Band and The Mercantile Musicians will be performing at the Fiddler’s Green Park Gazebo. The Zoar Losers, The Apen Family Band and the Niagara Frontier Fiddlers will complete the musical performances on the Concord Mercantile porch.
In addition, Open Acoustic Jamming in the entertainment tent will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Festival will also have crafters, food vendors, a colonial encampment in Fiddler’s Green Park and historical demonstrations such as blacksmithing, butter churning and wood spoon carving throughout the festival area. Boy Scout Troop 524 will be providing Wendel’s famous Chicken BBQ dinners at the Town Hall. The Pop Warner Historical Museum, the Concord Mercantile 1890’s General Store and the Historical Society Carriage House will be open all day for guided tours. The WNY Clogger Association will be conducting clogging workshops at the Town Hall, as well as offering clogging lessons for the general
public upstairs in the Concord Town Hall at 1:30 p.m. The Springville Post Office will extend their lobby hours until 4 p.m. so visitors can step inside to see the original 1938 Victoria Huntley “Fiddler’s Green” mural in the lobby. A Community Round & Square Dance will be held Saturday evening in the Town Hall from 6 to 9:30 p.m. Homemade Jam will provide the music for dancing, with Pete Boberg calling the square dances. The WNY Cloggers Association will be performing during the intermission at the Square Dance and the winner of the 12 string Abilene Guitar Raffle will be announced. Refreshments and hourly door prizes raffles will be available at the Saturday evening Dance. Take the short drive to Springville for a day of learning and great music!

Trail Talk Keeping Busy on the EVGV Trail
By Joe Wright, Director of Marketing & Development, EVGV Trail
The 2015 summer event season in Ellicottville is in full swing, making the last month a busy one for the Ellicottville– Great Valley Trail Committee. The committee sends a special thanks to Jane Eshbaugh at Holiday Valley for allowing the Trail Committee to set up at the Mudslide finish line at Yodeler Lodge on June 20. The Committee sold 2014 Mudslide tee shirts donated by Holiday Valley and also raffled off an “All Things Ellicottville” gift basket. Thank you to all the local businesses that donated to the gift basket. Also contributing to the Trail cause was Sanzo Beverage which donated four complimentary entries to the Tough Mudder in Andover, NY, on August 1 and 2. A total of $387 for the day was raised to support the EVGV Trail through these raffles. Mudslide Drawing winners: “All Things Ellicottville” Gift Basket: Marcy Burkett of West Seneca, NY.
Two Tough Mudder Passes: Dan Steastrum of Jamestown, NY. Two Tough Mudder Passes: Sam Ritchie of Little Valley, NY. The EVGV Trail Committee also participated in the Summer Music Fest during the July 4 holiday weekend both at the Village vendor fair and at the Holiday Valley music venue. Again, we raffled off an “All Things Ellicottville” gift basket, which was won by Bruce Levine of Olean, NY. A total of $465 was raised throughout the weekend in support of the Trail. Again, we thank all the local businesses that donated to the gift basket as well as Brain McFadden and staff at the Chamber of Commerce which provided the EVGV Trail space to set up our booth during the festivities. The next event on the EVGV Trail Committee schedule is the Taste of Ellicottville, August 15-16. We will be raffling off another “All Things Ellicottville” gift basket, and if you are a local business and would like to donate items to the basket and/or sell pre-event tickets to the raffle, contact MJ Brown at Tangled Twigs (716) 699-2736 or email: tangledtwigs@gmail.com. Working the booth for these events continues to be a great forum for the EVGV Trail Committee to interact in person with the Ellicottville– Great Valley community, updating residents and visitors
on recent events and answering any questions relating to the proposed trail project. As a committee, we continue to be encouraged by the support, positive feedback and demand for a multi-use recreational trail in the Ellicottville–Great Valley community. Where the rubber meets the road (literally and figuratively speaking) is that setting up at community events and running basket raffles is just one piece of a well orchestrated puzzle needed to kick start this project and move it along. The Committee needs help on all fronts and at all levels. From federal, state and local governments in the form of grants, to financial and in kind contributions from the business community, to grassroots support from local citizens in the form of “likes,” “shares,” or “following” the EVGV Trail on social media. If you build it Ellicottville– Great Valley, they will come – on foot, by bike, on roller blades, in strollers, on four legs and two. The EVGV Trail Committee welcomes any and all support from any resident interested in helping out. Online donations can now be processed at our website www.EVGVTrail.org.

IBO Continued from front page
has to guess the distance from their stake to the target, set their sights and shoot. Scores are determined by where the arrow hits the target. In the MSR class, the smallest circle on the target is worth 11 points, the next biggest is 10 points, the outer ring is 8 points and you score five points for a body shot. Wisniewski said there are probably about 8-10 different courses on the slope. Although Wisniewski says that some shooters have spent their lives training, there are a lot of amateurs and shooters who recently began in the sport. Returning for another year, Jenna Senita has been shooting for just over 3 years, and has her sights set on reclaiming her title as shooter of the year. “This will be my third time at World’s, and I’m in second place for shooter of the year,” Senita said. “I started out slow, but I’m doing pretty darn well.” It was Senita’s boyfriend who got her into shooting, she said, much like other females in the sport. But once she started she fell in love with it and has been making a name for herself ever since. This year, Senita will be competing in the Female Bowhunter Open class, which puts no restrictions on sights, stabilizers or style of release, with a maximum target distance of 45 yards. “All the basics are very similar,” Senita said of a female versus a male shooter. “Everyone is different in how they shoot, but a guy can pull more poundage and have a faster arrow.” Although it’s a “male dominated” sport, Senita said the female interest in shooting is building every year. “Us girls are growing, slowly but surely,” she said.
Don Auge of Auge’s Archery
“It’s a close knit group, kind of like a family, and we’re always looking out for each other.” And to help increase female interest in the sport, professional shooter Cara Kelly has started ArcHER in an effort to connect female shooters with each other and positively impact the female archery community. ArcHER looks to help women archers in all levels of competition. Senita said the organization has really taken off and has been a great tool for young women who are just getting into the sport. Locally, fans and participants are geared up for another great year of archery in Ellicottville. Don Auge, owner of Auge’s Archery, said the competition definitely increases foot traffic in his store and gives him a chance to catch up with friends. Auge, who also is Ellicottville’s police officer in charge, shot in the hunter class the first year the competition was in Ellicottville, but now keeps his shop open for serious shooters. “You think you’re a good shot until you go up there,” Auge joked. Each year, he said, sales have been increasing when the
IBO is in town, and he allows archers to use his tools to fix their equipment. He’s also picked up some friends along the way, he said. With a shooting range behind his Great Valley business, some competitors will stop by to practice or try something different. Auge explained the targets in his 3-D pop-up range are computer operated, which is different than what most are used to. Each target lies on the ground, then the computer will stand one up for a few seconds, before it lays down again. Auge said the hard part is that the shooter has no idea which target will stand up when. The novelty of it all brings shooters to his business. “Last year we had about eight people come one night, then the next they brought like 19,” he said. “They’re all really good people; they just come down to shoot.” For more information on the IBO World Championship, visit www.ibo.net.

Holiday Valley Hiking and Biking Trails Closed Aug. 3-9 for IBO The hiking and biking trails at Holiday Valley will be closed from Aug. 3 through Aug. 9, when the resort will be hosting the IBO World Championships. The community is invited
to come experience the IBO. There will be a vendor village, chicken and ribs barbeques, and evening shootouts at Yodeler where you can watch these world-class archers perform.
In addition, the Spruce Lake Chairlift will be operating and rides are $5 per person. There is a 3-D practice range at the top of Spruce that is open to the public.

Nature Center Receives Community Foundation Grants “The Chautauqua Region Community Foundation [CRCF] has been an important supporter of the Nature Center this year,” said Center President Ruth Lundin, “and we are grateful to them for the successes they have helped us achieve.” Lundin expressed her appreciation for several grants that the Audubon Nature Center has received for different needs. “When a furnace went out, the Community Foundation really came to our rescue,” Lundin said. A grant from CRCF’s Axel W. Carlson Memorial Fund enabled the Nature Center to replace the failed furnace. Support from the Rollin A. & Annie P. Fancher Fund administered by CRCF went toward development of the Boy Scouts Bird Study Merit Badge Program, helping to make possible the Boy Scouts Bird Study Merit Badge Day as well as serving as a model for other Boy Scout merit programs. During the past school year, Nature Center education staff presented more than 700 programs to over 14,000 students in Chautauqua
Here’s a question I hear a lot: Why is it so darn hard to lose weight and keep it off? There are a bunch of physiological and psychological reasons I found online and could list, but, to keep things simple, I believe it comes down to this: Eating healthy is not convenient and does not taste as good as ice cream, French fries and pizza. And exercising hard enough to change your body takes time. That is precisely why fad diets and training systems promise quick and easy programs where you will never feel hungry, unsatisfied or inconvenienced. Who wouldn’t want that? However, as you and I both know, these quick fix methods may work for a bit, but individuals can rarely commit for the long term. Why? In part, it’s because some of these programs are just wacky, but, in addition to that, we are destined to fail because we do not have realistic expectations for the process. Specifically, we are set up to believe that losing weight and maintaining the loss will
the celery or chunks of apple, but ditch the ranch and blue cheese dressings. Ditch the chips and pretzels and the bars, shakes and fruit smoothies you buy in the grocery store. Those items are full of sugar, sodium and ingredients that are too hard to pronounce, let alone consume. Making changes to your diet will ultimately lead to bigger changes in your waistline, energy and cravings. Exercise is the icing on the cake. Losing weight feels great, but without exercise and weight training, you are probably getting thinner, but softer, too. One of the most potent fat-burners around is lurking right below your skin. That is muscle, and building more muscle can turn your body into a fat burning machine. For each pound of muscle you build, you burn an extra 50 calories per day – just sitting still! If you build 10 pounds of new muscle, you’d burn off enough extra calories to drop 50 pounds of fat in a year! Of course, you cannot build that muscle by sitting still. You need to strength-train on a consistent basis. Fitness classes can be found at almost every gym and studio. I highly recommend these classes over videos since an actual instructor can correct your form and answer questions for you to keep you safe from injury. Is weight loss hard work? Yes. But, it is rewarding and more satisfying than any ice cream sundae I have ever eaten. And, feeling guilty is never associated with eating right and exercising regularly.

and Warren Counties. In addition, more than 2,300 children participated in over 200 programs in their own schoolyards. With 249 field trips to the Nature Center – primarily in May and June – the year’s total came to 18,940 students who got connected to nature and learned environmentally responsible behaviors through Nature Center education programs. A significant grant from
CRCF’s Thomas H. Brown Fund was a major support of the Nature Center’s field trip program. “We are so grateful to the Community Foundation for everything they do!” Lundin concluded.

be easy, breezy. It’s not. If you starve yourself and eat 500 calories a day for awhile, you will lose weight. Most of that will be muscle, though, since our bodies are always looking for protein sources to burn. You will also have little to no energy to exercise or to do much of anything for that matter. And, when you finally have had enough of starving and begin to eat again, you will not only regain the weight you lost, but it will more than likely be in the form of fat. So, what gives? What works? Weight loss is a slow and steady process. After all, more than likely, you did not become overweight because of one weekend of overeating. The first thing you need to do is create a realistic weight loss goal: 1-3 lbs. a week with 3 being optimistic. Second, look at your daily diet carefully. I typically have clients keep a food journal that we look over and analyze. I start the process with a little fix called: getting rid of processed foods, even if they say they are healthy and low fat. If they are processed, they are not what our bodies need. Instead, and here’s the time consuming part, I advise people to buy and eat real foods like fruits and veggies and nuts and grains and fish, chicken and beef. Plan ahead when you grocery shop: buy celery, carrots, peppers, cucumbers, apples and melons. Get them home and clean and cut them up. Put those veggies directly into baggies and refrigerate. Every day pack a healthy lunch or bring them to the office as a snack or to nibble on before dinner. You can add hummus or even a little peanut butter to
place on the top of the hill at the Mill Valley site of the park. Guests should be prepared for a 10 minute walk uphill to the festival site. Guests are encouraged to bring blankets and small coolers. There will be a food
booth, as well as a beer and wine garden on-site. Admission will be $10 for adults, 12 and under FREE. Gates open at 11:00 a.m. For more information, visit their Facebook page.
This Saturday, July 18, the Ellicottville Historical Society will present the third annual Jefferson Street Cemetery Tour and, according to Historical Society president and event organizer Dawn Westfall, visitors really have something to look forward to this year as 15 actors from the age of six and up will portray some of the individuals interred in this historic pioneer cemetery. “People will be entertained as they learn about Ellicottville’s rich history and some of its past residents” she said. The first tour was held in 2014 after the cemetery received National Register of Historic Places status and a multi-year restoration and preservation of the site was completed with the support of the Town of Ellicottville, the Ellicottville Historical Society and a grant from the William G. Pomeroy Foundation. “Now that the restoration
work is done, the Historical Society wants to continue the annual tour as part of its mission to study, preserve and keep alive the spirit and tradition of Ellicottville’s heritage,” Westfall said. Two tours will be scheduled for the day at 1 and 3 p.m. Parking is available on the Iskalo Development Corporation lot (former site of
Signore Co.) across Jefferson Street (Rt. 219) from the cemetery. You may purchase tickets at the parking lot. Tickets are $10 per person; children 12 and under are free. Police will be on hand to help you cross to the cemetery grounds where participants will be greeted by the actors in character.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘In the Unlikely Event’ by Judy Blume In her highly anticipated new novel, Judy Blume, the New York Times #1 bestselling author of Summer Sisters and of young adult classics such as Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, creates a richly textured and moving story of three generations of families, friends and strangers, whose lives are profoundly changed by unexpected events. In 1987, Miri Ammerman returns to her hometown of Elizabeth, New Jersey, to attend a commemoration of the worst year of her life. Thirty-five years earlier, when Miri was fifteen, and in love for the first time, a succession of airplanes fell from the sky, leaving a community reeling. Against this backdrop of actual events that Blume experienced in the early 1950s, when airline travel was new and exciting and everyone dreamed of going somewhere, she paints a vivid portrait of a particular time and place—Nat King Cole singing “Unforgettable,” Elizabeth Taylor haircuts, young (and not-so-young) love, explosive friendships, A-bomb hysteria, rumors of Communist threat. And a young journalist who makes his name reporting tragedy. Through it all, one generation reminds another that life goes on. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as an audio book and as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access more than 9,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

more significantly exceeded engineering estimates. Village engineer Mike Smith, who also is CEO of Nussbaumer & Clarke, Inc. -- the firm that designed the plant and wrote the bid specifications – went back to the drawing board to revise the scope of work and rebid the project last month. At the July meeting, Smith assured the board that the plant will meet the Village’s needs for the long term. He also walked the board through a revised cost analysis of ongoing operational expenses and concluded that the new plant will use less energy, which should save the Village money over the long term. Those savings, combined with the fact that the Village was approved for a 0% loan, should still mean that taxpayers will not see a plant-related increase in their sewer bills.
NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN Hughey Alley will soon become a one way street from Monroe Street to Ellicottville Opticians. Watch for signs, trucks and turning vehicles. The change is being made to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety at the Alley’s intersection with Monroe Street. In other business, the Village board is reviewing a revised comprehensive plan that was drafted by the Village Planning Board. Residents may review the plan by visiting the village clerk’s office; the plan also will be posted on the Village website sometime in the next month. A public hearing will be scheduled as well, probably for the September village board meeting. The board also is reviewing a number of proposed zoning changes. Further review and consultation with the planning board is in process.
And, several new ordinances are being considered to address some ongoing issues with brush and trash removal and noise complaints. The village expects to establish stiffer fines for noise violations and is looking at additional ways to enforce them. All of these issues will require public hearings. The next meeting of the Village Board will be held on Monday, August 10 at 6 p.m. in the village/town hall. All are welcomed.

maps … were a year old.” Brown presented a map that was updated by the planning board. Ziccarelie explained that the areas the district covers is primarily where gravel pits are already allowed, and where residents have been “blessed … with quality gravel.” Cattaraugus County Legislator Carl Edwards was in attendance, and said he had received phone calls from residents expressing concerns about noise pollution and the district’s proximity to homes. “I know virtually nothing about it…and I have no direct authority,” Edwards said. “But I’ve received calls with concerns, so those of you who made your concerns heard, I’m here.” Ziccarelie explained that the Department of Environmental Conservation will not issue a permit for a gravel pit within 500 feet of a residence, but that the town has the final say. The DEC will be the lead agency on the SEQR, Ziccarelie said, but the town will have the ability throughout the process to add or remove provisions of
the permit and will be aware of everything that is going on. After a permit is issued, there is a 30-day comment period for the general public to voice its concerns, which the DEC will take into consideration, Ziccarelie said. Using Gernatt as an example, Ziccarelie said that once they are aware of a problem or concern of a resident, they do their best to alleviate it. Each pit, he said, is subject to regular inspections by the DEC, either once or twice a year. The board approved the initiation of the SEQR and expects to vote on the mining
district local law at its August meeting. The board also approved dissolving the town’s Zoning Board of Appeals, and combining it with the Town Planning Board. Going forward, there will be a seven member board, with two alternates, that will serve as both the Planning and Zoning Board. Town Attorney Peter Sorgi explained that the combined board will conduct issues of the zoning board separately from that of the planning board. The main purpose of the consolidation, Sorgi said, is to ensure that there is always a full board present for voting. The new playground behind the town hall has been completed, Brown said, and has already been in use. With about four days of straight work, Brown said the playground was completed, and a concrete sidewalk was laid by the Highway Department. The next Great Valley Town Board meeting will be Monday Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall.

briefly due to flooding as well. Ellicottville resident Dick Young attended the meeting to report damage on Horn Hill Road, where huge rocks from private property were carried downhill from the force of the rains. Hovey said that most of these roads will be drivable within a few days, barring additional rains, but that the damage may well cost close to $400,000 for longer-term repairs. He said the County has asked all municipalities to report back on estimated damages; depending on the total, the County may be able to request federal aid. Meanwhile, the heavy rains all spring and summer have brought a number of other drainage issues to the attention of Hovey and Town Engineer Mark Alianello. Poorly constructed driveways in several areas are sending water onto town roads and causing damage to municipal and private property. The weather has slowed construction of the Holiday Valley Road project to a crawl, Alianello said. The new target completion date is sometime in September. And Tuesday’s rains caused some drainage issues at the town’s East Tank property, which will be corrected. Sommerville Valley road repairs also have been slowed by the weather, though work will continue and drivers should be aware of lane closures. In all, Hovey estimates it will take “months and months”
(716) 699.4062 Page 9
to get all the repairs done. In other business, Burrell reported that the towns of Ellicottville and Mansfield are working on creating a fire district that would allow the Ellicottville Fire Department to cover areas of Mansfield that abut Ellicottville. The Ellicottville fire department is larger and physically closer to these areas and, therefore, is able to respond more quickly to fires and other emergencies. The towns and fire commissioners are working now to determine how costs will be shared. Tracy Stokes, who serves as deputy town clerk as well as the summer youth recreation director, reported that the Summer Park Program is serving some 100 children this year. Some days, as many as 40 children participate. Due to lack of applicants for swim instructor jobs, swimming lessons are not being offered this year. The board discussed some options that would attract instructors for next summer. Alianello reported that a final inspection of the State DOT sidewalk project along Rt. 242 is being conducted next week. The project also included improvements to Village pedestrian ramps at numerous intersections and widening the Fillmore Dr./Rt. 219 intersection. Burrell added that a ribbon cutting ceremony is being planned for later this summer. Under the heading of “Old Business,” a board committee has been looking at revising
the town’s noise ordinance local law, which was written in 1985, and updated the rest of the board and town resident Cheri Giancarlo on its progress. The challenge has been to determine how to strengthen the existing law to ensure that residents are not subjected to long-term noise pollution from industry or agricultural activities. Giancarlo brought the issue to the board’s attention in January after years of logging activity on a neighbor’s property had become unbearable. She asked the board if anything could be done to control the noise that she said is threatening her health. The board committee has been looking at legal implications, property owners’ rights and enforcement options within the confines of its jurisdiction and zoning laws. Also during the meeting, a public hearing was held to allow public comment on the board’s proposed Local Alarm Law. No one from the public was present to comment, but the board was expecting a letter from a resident. After closing the public hearing at the end of the meeting, the board opted to delay a vote on the law until its August meeting. The draft law is available for the public’s review at the town clerk’s office. The next meeting of the town of Ellicottville’s board will be held on Wednesday, August 19 at 6 p.m. at the town/village hall.
