Americana Folk Art Fair This Weekend Cemetery Tours, Art and Music Create Festive Atmosphere
© 2013 KEYSTONE DESIGNERS
Ellicottville’s Americana Folk Art Fair will entertain and amaze young and old this weekend, July 20–21. The free fair takes place in the village lawn by the gazebo 10 a.m.–4 p.m. each day. The weekend actually launches on Friday night when “Finnegan’s Wake,” will be presented by some talented locals at the Gin Mill starting to raise funds for the continued restoration of the Jefferson Street Cemetery. Ticketed event, organized by Bob McCarthy, is sold out, but the public is invited to join the party after 9:30 p.m. Over the weekend, quality art and lively music will entertain the crowd. Freddie and Tuck will perform live on Saturday, 11 a.m.–2 p.m., as well as Tory and Rob Bedard on Sunday, 11 a.m.–2 p.m. The Americana Folk Art Fair is coordinated by Bob McCarthy, Ellicottville’s goodwill ambassador, and is meant to celebrate local artists, community life and to introduce visitors to yet another facet of this charming town. Ellicottville is home to a talented and diverse group of folk artists, artisans and exceptional year-round residents who love this wonderful community. Why a folk art fair? McCarthy describes folk art as “making functional art out of something else,” and his days of collecting various items at the Springville Auction naturally led him to create an event around it. This casual, laid-back atmosphere of the Americana Folk Art Fair is unlike any other festival held in Ellicottville. “This event is about people enjoying the day in Ellicottville,” McCarthy said. “You can sit and have a conversation, enjoy the music and see some wonderful local artists.” See Americana Fair page 6
Jazz and Blues Set the Tone Music Weekend July 26–28
By Jeff Martin
When it comes to Ellicottville’s Jazz & Blues Weekend, the music speaks for itself. Heather Snyder, spokesperson for the
Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, said the event, scheduled for July 26–28, is a bit different from other chamber events in that the chamber takes a background approach. “It’s just about the music,” Snyder said. Seven bands are expected to take the main stage on Monroe Street, which isn’t the typical location for many downtown centered events. “Something like this will give some attention to Monroe Street,” Snyder said, adding that most festivals are on the main drag. “All the corners of the village should be recognized.” In addition to the main stage on Monroe Street, other performances are scheduled in bars and cafes throughout the village, including the gazebo, Ellicottville Brewing Company, the Gin Mill, Balloons, the Silver Fox and others. Main acts include B.D. Lenz, the John Troy Jazz Trio, Mick Hays Band, Mark Mazur and the Little Big Band. See Jazz and Blues page 6
Pets Before Profits: Vet Starts Pet Rescue Rx to Aid Shelters
By Jann Wiswall
Pet Rescue Rx is not just another online veterinary pharmacy, and Glenn Buckley, DVM, who is in the process of moving full-time to Ellicottville, is not your ordinary veterinarian.
Pet Rescue CEO Glenn Buckley
With two thriving veterinary hospitals in Ft. Lauderdale, Buckley used his business and medical know-how to find a way to make a difference for animal shelters across the country. And he brought the idea to western New York — where he was born and raised. Launched just a month ago, Buckley created an online veterinary pharmacy with a philanthropic purpose: all net profits from the sale of prescription and non-prescription medications sold through Pet Rescue Rx are donated to animal shelters. Customers are able to designate their favorite local shelters as the beneficiaries. Buckley commented, “I’m a regular volunteer veterinarian at a number of shelters in Ft. Lauderdale. I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it is for shelters to care for their growing populations See Pet Rescue page 8
EVL 9 Trail Run at Holiday Valley Aug. 4
By Jesse Mast
Holiday Valley Resort is getting ready to host yet another exciting day of racing. The EVL-9 Train Run offers more than nine miles of challenging trails for a true test of athletic stamina. The action takes place Aug. 4 at the Holiday Valley Mountain Sports Center. Athletes from
several surrounding states and Canada are expected to rush into Ellicottville to take advantage of the area’s quality trails. Event organizer Mark Lawrence said the race has enjoyed quite a bit of popularity in the several years it has been held. “It grows every year,” he
said. The race’s appeal is also very widespread. In the past, runners have come from throughout Western New York, as well as Ontario and distant states such as Kentucky, Michigan and even Colorado. Formerly known as the annual Ellicottville Ultra Trail See EVL 9 Trail Run page 8
Mansfield Considers CAP Agreement with Allegany By Jann Wiswall
At the July 15, 2013, Town of Mansfield board meeting, the Town of Mansfield’s Tax Assessor Robin Pearl asked the board to consider entering into a Coordinated Assessment Program (CAP) agreement with the Town of Allegany beginning in October 2013. CAP is a state program that
partners two or more towns in a county that share the same assessor, assessment equalization rate and assessment cycle. The term of the agreement is 10 years. Its intent is to ensure that towns with similar assessment profiles use the same standards of assessment. The state pays towns in such agreements $7
per taxable parcel in a lump sum. If the towns part ways on the agreement, each town must repay a pro-rated share of the lump sum to the state. Currently, Allegany and Ellicottville are in a CAP agreement, but, according to Pearl, Ellicottville may be reconsidering the agreement. See Mansfield Board page 8
Town/Village Court Moves to Town Center August 5 Town Supports Trail Grant Application
By Jann Wiswall
The July 17 meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board was held at the Town Center (formerly the Cooperative Extension Service Building) where renovations are moving along well. Supervisor John Burrell noted that the new courtroom space is essentially
complete. The only thing left to do is to move furniture and equipment, which is scheduled to be done during the last week of July. Beginning the first week of August, court will be held at the Town Center. Burrell said directional road signs to the courts and the
Town Center will be placed at strategic intersections in Ellicottville, and everyone scheduled to be in court after August 1 will be sent information about the new court location. Burrell also reported that the Town Center’s auditorium See Town Board page 6

Purple Doorknob Launches New Line of Socks By Jann Wiswall
Ellicottville’s Purple Doorknob owner, Urania Shaklee, has launched her own brand of original sock designs defined by “whimsy, color and fun.” Drawing inspiration from “customer ideas, art, stories, YouTube videos and psychic visions,” Shaklee’s debut collection features six unique designs including cute animals, penny farthing bicycles and retro TVs. The socks come in knee-high length for women and crew length for men, and are made of a high-quality cotton blend. The sock brand bears the name of Shaklee’s second sock store ModSock, which she opened two weeks after moving from Ellicottville to Bellingham, Wash., in 2011. Shaklee didn’t start out hoping to be a sock magnate. Before moving to Ellicottville, she had been an antique dealer

Many of Allegany State Park’s (ASP) buildings have been standing for decades, apparent by the layers of thick green or brown paint on the cabins. While some have aged gracefully, others have not fared as well, and this summer, visitors have had to say goodbye to some of their “old friends” — the ASP cabins. Demolished cabins include many of the small cabins in Group Camp 10 on Red House, as well as cabins on Creekside, Gypsy, Pine Tree and Parallel Trails, all on the Quaker side. According to ASP’s Facebook page, “The park engineers said they were structurally unsound.” This news is particularly sad to me because my family wrote “Abandoned Cabin Tour” on our summer to-do list for our week in ASP this summer. We just discovered Group Camp 10 when we were painting for I Love My Park Day in May, and one of the wonderful Friends of Allegany volunteers suggested taking a detour through Group Camp
10 on our way out. We parked the car on the shoulder, took the short walk up the driveway and were amazed that there was a place this incredible in ASP that we had never seen before. At the top of Group Camp 10 sat the large mess hall, and it appeared in pretty good shape despite the lack of stairs to get into it. Across from the mess hall stood the bathhouse, and behind that were two parallel rows of small cabins lining two sides of a hill. The view from the top was amazing, and my daughter and I couldn’t resist walking down the center of the hill and peering into the one room structures, as most of the doors were swung open. I later learned from Allegany State Park Historical Society’s Facebook page that Group Camp 10 was the first group camp on the Red House side of the park. According to Bob Schmid’s write-up on the Facebook page, “It also had the distinction of having the first wood cabins constructed in Allegany State Park.” It was used by various groups throughout the years,

Camp Allegany is located on the Red House side of the park, just past Red House Lake on ASP Route 2. After getting off the Red House Exit 19 of the Southern Tier Expressway (I86) and heading into the park, there will be signs posted along the way to direct you how to
get there. Bob Byledbal and his family started at Allegany with the park concessions back in 1951 until March of 1979, with Bob operating the park stores, Quaker Pavilion, and both the Quaker Dance Hall and also Red House Dance Pavilion. Please keep in mind that every ASPHS meeting is always open to the public to attend. “We would truly love to see
you and talk park history with you or answer any questions that you may have,” said Bob Schmid, director of ASPHS.

has been updated, some with 30 and some with 50 amp service. There have been other improvements as well. “New site number posts, as well as crushed limestone on the site driveways/pads, and a small section of one of the main loop access roads was paved,” said Cassie Wright, ASP naturalist. In addition, a new bathhouse is currently being constructed and is expected to be completed later this year. Besides all the new construction going on at Cain Hollow, many other new projects have been completed or are in progress throughout the park, including the all-new Group Camp 5 on Quaker and renovations to Camp Allegany. ASP is a place full of history that is continually moving forward with new developments and improvements. My family is looking forward to spending time there to enjoy some new adventures, and perhaps we will even visit the former sites of our old cabin friends along the way.

ASP Historical Society Meeting July 20 The Allegany State Park Historical Society (ASPHS) will hold its monthly meeting on July 20 at 1 p.m. at Camp Allegany in the group camp school building classroom. Bob Byledbal will be putting on another exciting and electrifying presentation, this one on the “History of the Park Dances” through the years, as well as the Park Dance Halls.

Also on our cabin tour list were the two-room Pine Tree cabins, which we admired last year at the conclusion of our hike on the Three Sisters hiking trail, and the abandoned Parallel cabins, which we’ve been snapping family photos in front of for years. The poor Creekside cabin was hit by a falling tree, which made it buckle. As sad as the news of the demolished cabins was to hear, there is a bright side, and that is that we can replace our “Abandoned Cabin Tour” with a “New Construction Tour.” Cain Hollow is the large area behind Quaker Lake housing over 150 campsites on four loops. Last year, the area did not fare well in a summer lightning storm. Power was knocked out and remained out for much of August and into the fall. For starters, the electrical
CLEAR YOUR HEAD
BY JEFF MARTIN
I like racing — especially when it involves my Dodge and it’s 2 a.m. and I’m absolutely positive there isn’t a policeman parked behind a bush. I like racing on television, too — specif ically when I watch it with my g irlfriend, a beer or two in the fridge, ribs in the oven, a day off. So when I got the chance to go see the races in Little Valley in late May, I jumped. Sitting in the stands, g nawing on a slice of fried dough the size of a palm leaf, I watched excitedly the cars racing around and around like a f ly above a ham sandwich. I found myself following specif ic drivers, watching how they handled corners, how they took advantage of straightaways and capitalized on leaders who, for a split second, left their guard down and gave too much space. I especially enjoyed getting close to the fence and hooking my f ingers on the chain link like an 8-year-old boy watching his favorite baseball player, letting the sound punch me. It was like an assault. And the dirt — especially fun getting sprinkled violently by chunks of dirt. A few weeks later, I decided to attend Holland Speedway, a NASCAR-sanctioned track just south of Main Street in Holland. I had actually gone to the track for the Smash-O-Rama a couple of weeks before. I wasn’t too impressed with the event, but I enjoyed the track and the seating, a collection of bleachers whose wood planks appeared as old as the decks of pirate ships. Other bleachers were metal. We got there early before the gates opened and listened to the practice sessions. At 4:45 p.m., they opened the gates and we wandered in, f inding a seat and watching the qualifying heats. It was a hot day and the eng ines were opened up and humming. Because it’s a short track, the driving was tight and, presumably, exhausting for the drivers. Long tracks, like the ones NASCAR fans are accustomed to seeing, provide at least a brief rest for the driver. I’m not up on the racing lingo, and I’m certainly not up on knowing the types of cars I was watching. Stock cars, sure, but there were also smaller cars; I believe they called them midget cars and they seemed the best f it for the track itself because their size allowed for more straightaway. They darted around the track like water spiders, g iving the audience a good show with several lead changes. At the end of each race, the winner stopped in the circle and posed for pictures, and was interviewed brief ly, which is a nice touch because it adds a little touch of humanity to the event. So many sports feel distant. And I was certainly surprised by how many racers were second or third or fourth generation racers. Whole families raced through many years, f illing the facility with a sense of family and tradition. By the vending area, which serves up some quality food for decent prices, I spoke with John DeMarco, a Holland resident who has been coming to the races for years. He was alone but he wasn’t a loner — he has family, sure, but the races for him are a kind of sanctuary, a place of, dare I say, prayer. “I always tell my family that I like going alone,” he said. “It g ives me a chance to just be on my own with no one around. I can think here about what I need to do and stuff like that. And I like racing.” I had to laugh. Think? How? Then I realized he was right. Problems can’t f it inside the head that is being knocked around by the sound of a few thousand horses racing for the f inish line.

ASP/CCAC Partner to Present ‘Works on Wood’ SALAMANCA — Allegany State Park (ASP) and the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) have once again teamed up to present their semi-annual art show and silent auction. This year’s event, “Works on Wood,” features local artists’ interpretation of campstools, signs, baskets and hiking sticks — with maybe a few surprises thrown in! Local artists were asked to raid their basements, attics, garages, estate sales, etc. to find pieces to transform into works of art. Even unique items from area beaches and local trash days were salvaged and reused. The result? A display of items that will appeal to animal lovers, campers, outdoors enthusiasts, nature lovers, those interested in Allegany State Park, and more! Pieces will be on display for viewing in the Quaker Store Museum of Allegany State Park until Aug. 9. That afternoon they will be moved to the Red House Beach area of the park in preparation for
the silent auction at the annual ASP/CCAC Full Moon Family Beach Party that night. The Beach Party will feature music by ASP’s own Artist in Residence Kevin McCarthy who brings his fun, energetic and infectious brand of music to this event. He will be followed by WNY’s own New York Rockin’ Revue, a quartet of great musicians who bring a “Fun is Contagious” attitude to all their performances! The Beach Party will also feature kids’ activities, a lifeguard competition, and maybe even the Limbo (everybody limber up). The night will be capped off with a beautiful fireworks display over Red House Lake. In addition to seeing them at the park, the “Works on Wood” pieces can also be viewed on the Cattaraugus County Arts Council website at www.myartscouncil.net or the Allegany State Park Facebook page. All proceeds from the auction go towards arts programming in the park in conjunction with the CCAC.

will be painted and final construction items will soon be completed. Councilmember John Northrup said he is donating double doors that were removed from the old Holiday Valley lodge to replace the old auditorium doors leading out of the auditorium to the Nannen Arboretum. The renovations of the courtroom space are expected to exceed the $30,000 budget by about $5,000, but Burrell said that some unexpended salary will cover the overage. He also noted that the $6,500 budgeted for renovation of the auditorium likely will come in at or slightly under budget. Burrell briefed the board about a proposed joint fire district that would, ideally, pool the resources of the fire departments of Ellicottville, Mansfield, Great Valley and Humphrey. The Town of Ellicottville is interested in the concept especially because of its proximity to the new WestMont Ridge Development, which lies in both the Towns of Mansfield and Ellicottville. Ellicottville’s fire department, which is only a half mile from WestMont Ridge, would be the first responder to any fire emergency there — whether the fire is in Mansfield
or Ellicottville. Mansfield’s Fire Department is more than four miles away. Ellicottville argues that it is fair to share the expenses for coverage of what will be a densely populated area when completed. There are many stumbling blocks to making such a joint district possible, but Councilmember Steve Crowley said he hopes discussions will continue between all parties. Crowley pointed out that it is important that any plan be a long-term one — a 30-year plan, not just five, he said. In other business, the board reviewed the mid-year revenue and expense report prepared by the Supervisor’s Clerk Lindsey Coburn. To date, revenue is ahead of projections due primarily to higher sales tax and mortgage tax revenue than projected. Expenses are on target, as well, though Coburn indicated that the board likely will need to make some line appropriation adjustments at its next meeting. The board agreed and thanked Coburn for her hard work. Town Engineer Mark Alianello briefed the board on the status of the East Tank Project. Empire State Development (ESD), which agreed to fund a large portion of the project, sent Alianello
a long-awaited “incentive proposal” for board approval. The ESD asked the town to agree to a 23 percent minorityand women-owned business set-aside goal and many other conditions. After discussion, the board decided that it would not agree to the conditions until they are reviewed in more detail and any costs for compliance are determined. The board will ask for a 60day extension to allow time for thorough review. There was also discussion of the latest developments of the proposed Ellicottville-Great Valley Recreational Trail. The trail committee plans to apply for a $2 million Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) grant from the New York State Department of Transportation. This grant requires the sponsoring agency to commit to funding 20 percent of the project, or $400,000. While the trail committee expects to raise the full 20 percent, for purposes of grant applications, the Town of Ellicottville is the official sponsoring agency. As a result, the board approved a resolution, prepared by Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty, to commit to the 20 percent share. The next meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Board will be on Aug. 21 at 6 p.m.
Underground Railroad Active in WNY
By Mary Fox
The July meeting of the Ellicottville Historical Society featured a presentation by Della Moore, director of the African American Center for Cultural Development in Olean. Moore told the stories of three slave women who traveled the “Underground Railroad.” “All three women had the courage to say, ‘You don’t own me,’” said Moore. “They had a great reason to say that and act on it. The Underground Railroad was our first Civil Rights Movement.” “Underground Railroad” is the term used for the system by which slaves moved from Southern plantations to their freedom in the North. “Stations” were homes that took in the runaway slaves and hid them until they could safely be moved to the next station. We know very little detail about the immense system of routes, stations and safe houses of the Underground Railroad.
Only the “conductors” knew where they were coming from and where the next stop would be. Conductors risked their own lives to help the slaves to freedom. Harriet Jacobs, writing under the pen name of Linda Brent, was a slave woman who wrote her autobiography called “Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.” “I do earnestly desire to arouse the women of the North to a realizing sense of the conditions of two millions of women at the South, still in bondage, suffering what I have suffered and most of them far worse,” she wrote. “Only by experience can anyone realize how deep and dark and foul is that pit of abominations.” Sarah Johnson was a runaway slave from a plantation in Baltimore who made it on her own to Olean, N.Y. She was befriended by a doctor who taught her to be a midwife. She was the first black woman to be deeded a house. Margaret Garner, her four children, husband, mother and father escaped to Kentucky and crossed the frozen Ohio River to a safe house on the Cincinnati side where bounty hunters caught up with them. Garner knew the consequences of going back south and defied the system by killing one of her children, saving it from going back. Certain homes in Ellicottville, it is rumored, may have participated as “stops” along the trail giving the runaway slaves food, a place to hide, clothing, help to the
next safe house and ultimately to Buffalo and over the river to Canada. In Ellicottville, a 6-year-old black boy was found by Lewis Coit, a well-to-do farmer on Poverty Hill while he was out one day. The boy had been separated from his family on their way from Syracuse to Canada. (They were later reunited.) “What is your name?” asked Coit. The child answered, “Abram.” “Would you like to come home with me?” Coit asked. The boy answered “maybe,” and so the boy’s name became “Abe Maybee.” Abe grew up with the 12 Coit children. In December 1864, when he was 21, he went off to the Civil War. At the end of the war, he returned to Ellicottville where he became a barber and a wellrespected citizen. Maybee loved to play the banjo, which can be seen at the Ellicottville Historical Museum along with other memorabilia and displays on the Civil War and the Underground Railway. Moore will be portraying Abram Maybee’s wife, Martha, Saturday, July 20 on the Jefferson Street Cemetery Tours, along with several other portrayers representing their ancestors. Tours will be held at 1, 2:30 and 4 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the museum on the corner of Washington and Jefferson streets. A tour of St. John’s Episcopal Church is included.
Jazz and Blues Continued from Front Page
An organizer for the event, who asked not to be identified because he wanted the focus to be on the musicians, said that throughout the years he’s seen an ebb and flow of interest in jazz and blues throughout the village. “It goes through waves of popularity,” he said, adding that B.D. Lenz and the Mick Hays Band are premiere performers that will wow audiences and sustain the popularity that already exists. The event actually begins
Thursday night at 7 p.m. with a performance by The Lake Effect at the downtown gazebo, an area of town that promotes local bands on Thursdays throughout the summer. The Fred and Tuck band play the Gin Mill at 8 p.m. Snyder said most of the acts are from Buffalo but others come from out of state. B.D. Lenz comes from New Jersey, which shows how Western New York falls in line with traveling acts between big cities like Cleveland and Chicago and
New York City. The event started several years ago, Snyder said, and was held in the spring, but spring in Western New York can be unpredictable. Scheduling it in the summer made sense, she said. Sandwiched between popular events like Fourth of July and the start of the county fair, the music festival is a great way to just sit back, stop talking and listen to music. “It’s a mellow event that everyone who comes enjoys,” she said.

Nostalgia — In Canada We Once Hijacked Buses I do not like the “new normal.” I much prefer the “old normal” even though things seemed rather abnormal at the time. Example: terrorism. Today, acts of terrorism in North America, both domestic and foreign, both executed and aborted, are taxing the resources of every local, provincial, state and federal law enforcement agency on that continent. In Canada, the Al-Qaeda members of the Islamic “Toronto 18” terrorist cell are currently in jail. The two Al-Qaeda suspects in the VIA Rail terrorist plot to blow up the Toronto to New York City train are now awaiting trial. We are told there are more operations in the works. This is the new normal. The old normal ended 24 years ago when Canada’s very first terrorist hijacked a bus. Yeah, a bus. Greyhound Bus No. 1482 on its way from Montreal to New York City with 11 passengers on board was commandeered by a Canadian of Lebanese origin determined to create a hostagetaking incident thereby drawing attention to the plight of Christians in his homeland. In those days, terrorists and extortionists were hijacking so many airplanes, the Mideast and Cuba were practically regularly scheduled routes of most airlines. So, a bus? Any student of physics, even a failing student of physics, will tell you pigs will fly before buses. Also listed as poor vehicle choices in The Hijacker’s Handbook are golf carts, bulldozers, dirt bikes, hydrofoils and the Ford Pinto. Nonetheless, our hijacker, our very own Canadian hijacker, has his gun drawn and his Greyhound in high gear when he faces his first real test. A passenger — of which there were 11 on this bus — objects to the hijacker’s erratic behavior. So what does our hijacker do? He kicks this guy off the bus. Big mistake. Not only did the hijacker release the hostage, he forgot to wave the gun around and say: “You better not tell anybody about
this, or else!!!” Subsequently the passenger, a born spoilsport, got off the bus and blabbed about the hijacking to everybody who would listen. You can’t blame him for being steamed, because he’s standing next to a busy highway holding a round-trip ticket to New York City. He then called the Quebec Provincial Police who assumed not even a terrorist is nuts enough to take a bus trip across Canada in April, so they alerted police in Vermont, only. The QPP investigation ended there. Now we have no police looking for the hijacked bus in Canada, but a sheriff in Vermont, unfamiliar with bus line Greyhound is looking for a crazed Canadian riding a skinny dog south down Interstate 91. Thinking that by this time there must be a cross-country police alert out for him, the hijacker orders the bus driver to divert to Ottawa. That being the nation’s capital, he knows nothing ever happens there. Once on Parliament Hill, nobody stopped him, nobody noticed, nobody cared. Welcome to the Canadian federal government in action. So they pull onto Parliament Hill in the middle of the afternoon and our government is in session, which means the lights are on, the bells are ringing and everybody’s asleep in chambers. Suddenly, a tourist bus cuts off the hijacked bus and takes his parking spot. As an armed terrorist with a troop of hostages, the last thing you expect to be confronted by is rudeness. A shouting match erupts over the parking spots. The hijacker then orders the driver to take the vehicle onto the lawn of Parliament Hill, where it sinks in soggy grass up to its axles. That’s pretty much the end of the chase scene right there. Our hijacker sends one of the hostages out with a terrorist note listing all his demands and — you guessed it — nobody can read the guy’s handwriting. Meanwhile, on the bus, the hostages by their own
By William Thomas admission were, and I quote, “telling jokes and stories and exchanging family photos from their wallets.” Boy, here’s a group of people who’ll be having flashbacks and nightmares for the rest of their lives, eh? Now the hijacker is so frustrated he walks down the steps of the bus, opens the door and fires two shots into the lawn. Well, obviously our hijacker knows nothing about Canada because nobody shoots a lawn in Ottawa and gets away with it! The Mounties swarmed the place — weapons bigger than the officers carrying them, sirens wailing, emergency tactical vehicles, the bomb squad. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was briefed on the situation unfolding below his office after the riddled bodies of four blades of grass had been uncovered. Eventually, however, our hijacker just gave up in disgust. If the police didn’t care enough to report him or chase him, if the hostages were just going to sit around chatting and planning the first annual hostage reunion, if the prime minister was practically waving at him from his window, then to hell with it. Why bother? The man simply quit. It’s just my hunch, but I think the flap over the parking spot demoralized him the most. And that’s the “old normal” I long for, when gangs couldn’t shoot straight and terrorists hijacked buses.

Aerial Park • Photo Sky High Adventure Park Facebook page By Alicia Dziak
It’s hard to beat summers in Western New York. There’s so much to do that it’s hard to choose how to spend your days, but there are certain places I’ve discovered that continue to amaze me. One of those places is Sky High Adventure Park, located near the Tannenbaum Lodge at Holiday Valley. Once on Holiday Valley Road, the way is clearly marked on signs leading up the hill. Sky High offers an Aerial Park, a Climbing Forest and a Mountain Coaster, for a variety of outdoor adventures. According to the Holiday Valley website, “The Aerial Park is a series of platforms and ‘bridges’ built in a fouracre section of the woods. The platforms are built in the trees and the bridges connect the platforms. The bridge may be a log, hanging chunks of wood or other obstacles or ladders and the challenge is to figure out how to get across to the next platform. It is not all strength; it is more strategy and balance.” There are 12 courses with varying levels of difficulty, including two new courses for 2013. The more difficult the course, the higher up it is in the trees. “Visitors can expect a good workout, but more importantly they will feel a great sense of accomplishment and pride in completing the courses,” said Jane Eshbaugh, marketing director at Holiday Valley. “Groups and families get a good sense of camaraderie from the common experience and challenge.” Everyone wears a harness with a special locking lanyard that safeguards you from falling if you slip or let go. “Most of the time the guides give verbal assistance and try to let the climbers figure out the best way. There are guides on the center platform to help you get started on the courses. Then the guides are on the ground watching the climbers and giving helpful tips. If someone gets too tired to go on, they can help them get to an escape route or at times they will climb up to physically assist,” explained Eshbaugh.
“The Aerial Park was really fun,” said Scott Godios, 41, of Fredonia, who recently visited Sky High with a group of friends. “With five different degrees of difficulty, everyone can enjoy. They had a guide show us how to use the equipment prior to getting on the course and guides throughout to help if needed. It was interesting learning how the harness clips worked together so both couldn’t come unhinged at the same time for ultimate safety. All of us had a great time!” For the Aerial Park, children must be at least 7 years old, and all guests must be able to perform certain physical tasks to participate. There is a weight limit of 265 pounds. The single rate is $47, but various group rates and packages are available by visiting www.holidayvalley. com. Reservations are suggested for the Aerial Park, which can be made by calling 716-699-HIGH. The Climbing Forest is a totally new section of Sky High that is like a 3-D version of a climbing wall. It’s the only one of its kind in the Northeast, featuring 10 trees outfitted with color-coded climbing holds with various degrees of difficulty. Each climber is fitted with a harness that is clipped into an auto belay system, and once a climber reaches the top of the tree (about 45 feet up), they let go and the system slowly lowers them to the ground. The minimum age for the Climbing Forest is 5 years old, and rates start at $15 for a half hour session.
The all-new Climbing Forest
Heading uphill on the Mountain Coaster
The Mountain Coaster is similar to a roller coaster built on a mountain. People ride in a “car” attached to rails that pulls you up the hill, and riders can relax and enjoy the view of the mountain and chairlift as they ride up. Once you get to the top, the real fun begins, as the coaster follows a spiraling path down the mountain. Riders can control their speed with brakes on the car, and unlike a traditional roller coaster, you’re on your own in the wilderness with no other screaming riders around you. To ride the Mountain Coaster, children must be at least 3 years old and 36 inches tall to ride with an adult, or 7 years and 42 inches tall to ride alone. A single coaster ride is $8, and unlimited rides are $42. The members of my family are thrill ride buffs, and while we regularly visit area amusement parks, but we all agree that there is something very appealing about enjoying physically challenging activities and a coaster in the great outdoors. Sky High offers so many unique experiences that it’s sure to become a regular on our family entertainment circuit. For more information, visit www.holidayvalley.com.

and, at the same time, seek donations and other funding to support their work. I wanted to find a way to get more funds into their hands so they can spend more time doing the more important work of care and adoption.” “There is so much money in the veterinary pharmacy industry,” he said, noting that sales total $8 billion per year. “When I saw that number, I thought, ‘That money should be used in a better way.’” He decided to model his company after Newman’s Own — the food company started by actor Paul Newman which donates its profits to a variety of charitable organizations. “Newman’s Own is a unique and effective organization, and I thought, we can do something like that to benefit U.S. shelters,” he said. So Buckley, as CEO, partnered with his web developer brother Scott (as president) and sister-in-law Patty to create the website and located the physical pharmacy in Akron, N.Y. “We were raised with animals, and we all share a passion for them, so it made sense to make it a family affair,” he said, and added that another brother, who is an accountant, is handling the financials. The company also employs a full-time pharmacist, two parttime pharmacists and a customer service representative, all of
Are you a teen about to enter grades 9-12? Do you like making things, working with your hands, solving problems and understanding how things are made? Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES is offering a special FREE Summer Manufacturing Camp at its Career and Technical Education Center at Olean. The FREE program is open to area students entering grades 9-12 and is being sponsored by the BOCES CTE Division and the Southern Tier Advanced Manufacturing Initiative. Campers are invited to learn how things are made, learn about and prepare for exciting careers in manufacturing, and make new friends. Camp will take place Aug. 12-16 (M-F) from 8:30 a.m.– 3p.m. daily. Students are asked to please bring a bag lunch. Call (716) 376-8383 for details and to register for the free camp. You will learn about the exciting and rewarding world
whom are available to answer any questions customers, veterinarians and shelter staff might have. Currently, Pet Rescue Rx is fully licensed to sell prescription medications in 17 U.S. states (including N.Y.). The team is working on getting licenses for the rest of the country and expects to do so by the end of 2013. Non-prescription medications and supplies, such as flea and tick treatments, vitamins, etc., may be purchased by anyone in any state, and profits from those sales also are donated to shelters of the customers’ choice. “What’s critical in all this is to build credibility with our customers and beneficiaries,” said Buckley, who knows that there are many illegitimate online pharmacies out there that the legitimate pharmacies have to compete with and customers unwittingly use. Indeed, the National Association of Boards of Pharmacies (NABP) reports that some 97 percent of online human and pet pharmacy sites do not comply with NABP standards — and many online sites that are located outside the U.S. are just downright illegal. Pet Rescue Rx is certified by an NABP-approved program, LegitScript, and purchases only EPA/FDA-approved medications from U.S.licensed distributors. The

company also follows all NABP standards related to proper refrigeration, storage, distribution and monitoring of its medications. In addition, said Buckley, “Even though as a retail entity we cannot get non-profit status, we follow all guidelines for not-for-profit organizations — our financials are fully disclosed and people will be able to see where their money is going.” Buckley understands that it will take time to build the business up to where shelters can rely on the company for sustainable, recurring income. But that’s the absolute first order of business, he said, and until that time, neither CEO Buckley nor brother Scott will be taking any salary from the venture. “We’re both fortunate that our other businesses can support us as we work toward making Pet Rescue Rx an important source of support to shelters in the U.S. That’s why we call our company “A Pets Before Profits Pharmacy.’” Pet owners can start using Pet Rescue Rx today, and anyone can recommend a favorite non-profit shelter as a beneficiary. In addition, shelters, animal rescue groups and animal rehabilitation facilities that are 501(c)3 organizations in all states may register for the program online.

Mansfield Board Continued from Front Page
Allegany is interested in entering a CAP with Mansfield, partly to avoid having to repay the incentive share, Pearl said. Mansfield Supervisor Bob Keis noted that Mansfield and Allegany would be a good fit for a CAP since they have about the same amount of taxable property and miles of roads to maintain. However, because Mansfield Councilmember James Hammond was absent at the July 15 meeting, Keis said he would like to table discussion on the matter until the August meeting when the entire board is present. In other business, Keis reported that the town’s insurance agent, Jeff Miller, Evans Group, made the requested changes to the town policy per the discussion at the June board meeting. The changes resulted in a premium increase of about $600 over the original estimate of $20,297. Keis also reported that the exorbitant increase in workers’ compensation premiums, caused by a county error that
has impacted all municipalities, is probably going to have to be incurred by Mansfield since private insurers’ estimates for coverage exceed the county’s increased cost. And, even if the premiums were the same, the county would require towns that have open workers’ compensation cases to set aside funding for those employees in order to get out of its program, and that cost, too, is exorbitant. Construction of the new highway department garage is well under way, with completion of the exterior expected by late August or early September. Keis said he is “very pleased with where we are.” HoliMont’s WestMont Ridge development also is well under way, said Keis. Northrup Construction, which is serving as general contractor for the construction of the site’s infrastructure, provided Keis with three bids from engineering firms for inspection of the water and sewer lines as they are
installed. The low bidder was Nussbaumer and Clark, which also is the firm that designed the system. HoliMont is paying the fee for inspection. Finally, Keis reported that he had received a letter from the state’s auditors requesting a formal Plan of Action in response to four recommendations the state made for improvements to Mansfield’s fiscal policies and procedures. Keis assured the board that he had sent a four-page letter explaining the town’s policies several months ago and that he felt the town had sufficiently responded. However, Councilmember Robert Schmidt suggested that, since the state was still asking for information, Keis should call the auditors’ office to ask for specific guidance on what the Plan of Action should address that the letter did not. The next meeting of the Mansfield Board will be held on Monday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m.
EVL 9 Trail Run Continued from Front Page
Runs, the EVL-9 Trail Run has added course sections, creating a different but equal challenge for runners who have experience with the old course. This isn’t the first time the course has been changed. According to Lawrence, the course was for a time shortened to 8 miles, but then lengthened to its previous 9.8 miles, and it has stayed this way ever since. Lawrence said the name is an apt description of this tough course: “evil.” “It’s a very unique race,” said Lawrence, and “very, very demanding.” The course features quick changes in terrain, which is attractive to experienced runners. For that matter, the EVL 9 is not an entry-level race, though Lawrence said it may be a good event for families to participate in together. Beginning and ending at the Holiday Valley Mountain
Sports Center, runners brave enough to tackle the 9-mile run will encounter hills, gravel, roots and manicured singletrack over more than 1,200 feet of elevation changes through Holiday Valley trails and state lands. This may not be a task for the fainthearted, but it could be enough for enthusiastic runners to get their kicks.
Athletes who want a challenging course but aren’t up to the strain of 9 miles may opt for the EVL 4, a similar trail to the EVL 9 but only half as long. This course follows the EVL 9 for about two miles before breaking off. Starting time for the EVL 9 is 9:30 a.m., followed by the EVL 4 at 10 a.m. Awards will given three deep in Male, Female and Masters
divisions. Following the race, runners will enjoy lunch and door prizes. Lawrence said about 50 door prizes will given out. Participants will have a chance to win various enticing prizes, including Timex GPS watches, sneakers and other sports gear. Registration fees are $35 for the EVL 9 , and $25 for the EVL 4. Preregistration is open until July 29, after which $5 will be added to the fee. Registration forms may be obtained at www.heartrateup. com. Proceeds from the event will benefit HEART Animal Shelters. The field limit for the event is 300, but entrants may register the day of the race if it is not sold out. Race-day registration begins at 8 a.m. at the Holiday Valley Mountain Sports Center. Those interested in participating are encouraged to visit www.heartrateup.com.

Jamestown Jammers Jammin It’s Time for Some Great Baseball
JAMESTOWN — The Jammers are coming off their longest road trip of the season heading into their first off day of the season. Jamestown played six games on the road making stops in Hudson Valley (McNamara) and Lowell (Stedler), which became the first games played outside of the Pinckney Division this season. Now with six straight home games at Diethrick Park coming up, the Jammers find themselves holding onto the top spot over second place Williamsport and six games over .500. The Jammers finished the six game trip 3-3, but more importantly had a chance to pull out a “W� in each of the three games that they fell short in.
The most recent draft for the Pittsburgh Pirates has sent some bright futures to Jamestown in the way of JaCoby Jones (3rd Rd.), Cody Dickson (4th Rd.), and Adam Frazier (6th Rd.) just to name a few. In total, the Jammers currently field 16 of the Pirates’ 2013 draft picks and could be one of the reasons for the energetic team that Jamestown has had this season. Michael Fransoso, who was taken in the 27th round, has been the most consistent bat thus far for the Jammers. Fransoso is batting .326 on the season through 26 games and has drawn 19 walks in 86 plate appearances. The first year of the affiliation between the Jammers and Pirates has seen great pitching, a potent offense and a close-
knit group of ball players. The Jammers are searching for their first playoff berth since earning a wild-card spot in 2010. Winning a division title is also something that Jamestown has their sights set on. The last time the Jammers finished atop a division in the NYPL was the 1994 season when they put together a 4232 record as members of the Stedler Division. The Jammers opened a six-game home stand on Wednesday, July 17 vs. the Connecticut Tigers. Visit the team’s official website at www. jamestownjammers.com for more information!

“The Last Original Wife” by Dorothea Benton Frank Experience the sultry Southern atmosphere o Atlanta and the magic of the Carolina of L Lowcountry in this funny and poignant tale of o audacious woman’s quest to find the love one sshe deserves. Leslie Anne Greene Carter is The Last Original Wife among her husband Wesley’s wildly successful Atlanta social set. His cronies have all traded in the mothers of their children they promised to love and cherish—’til death did them part—for tanned and toned young Barbie brides. Told in the alternating voices of Les and Wes, The Last Original Wife is classic Dorothea Benton Frank: an intoxicating tale of family, friendship, self-discovery, and love, that is as salty as a Lowcountry breeze and as invigorating as a dip in Carolina waters on a sizzling summer day.

Health & Fitness: Ladies, Let’s Build Slim, Sexy legs Summer is here and in full swing. Shorts and bathing suits do nothing to hide your thighs, so what can you do to shake off the extra weight you are carrying in your legs? If you are already hitting the road with a steady state of cardio, you need to amp up your program with a routine of fast and furious interval weight training. Along with burning calories, you will also be building lean muscle, which sets off a chain reaction that boosts your metabolism, fires up fat burners and sculpts the lean, toned legs that you crave. Perform 10–16 reps of each move without any resting between exercises. Do as many rounds as you can in two minutes. Rest for 30 seconds and do two to three more rounds. Traditional dumbbell squats to overhead presses: Hold a pair of dumbbells at shoulder height with your elbows bent and feet hip-width apart. Keeping your chest upright, bend your knees and lower until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. As you stand, press the weights overhead until your arms are straight. Alternating side-to-side lateral lunges: Holding a pair of dumbbells at your sides, step out to the left with your

left leg. Bend your knee and sit back flat as you lower the dumbbells to each side of bent knee or ankle. Press through left foot to start and repeat on the opposite side. Straight-leg deadlift with row: Hold a pair of dumbbells in front of your thighs and stand with your feet hip-width apart. Bend forward and lower weights until your back is parallel to the ground, keeping

your back flat and weights close to your body. Then pull the elbows up toward the body and return to start. Dumbbell squat jump: Holding a pair of dumbbells at your sides, sit your hips back, with your weight on your heels and squat. Push through your heels and jump as high as you can, landing softly through your toes and heels. This workout is designed for your busy schedule. The workout should take 10–15 minutes and all you need is a pair of dumbbells. Try to start with 5–10 pounds and increase as that becomes too easy. Always remember to keep your core tight, bellybutton pulled in toward your spine, and to stand tall with your chin up and shoulders back. Breathing is also important — exhale on exertion. Plus, work until you can’t and rest until you can.
