Swim, Splash and Slide Through Summer at HV By Alicia Dziak
Things are heating up and it’s time to cool off! Take a trip to Holiday Valley’s pool complex for an easy getaway that’s pretty much in your own backyard. The complex includes three pools— a kiddie pool, great for the younger set to splash around in, a lap pool, where you can challenge your friends to a race or get in a real workout, and an activity pool, where you can show off your serious diving board moves and your not-so-serious waterslide moves. Guests are also welcome to bring floats and noodles into the pools. Forgot your towel? No problem! Towels are available to rent for $1. Those staying at Tamarack Club can enjoy the neighboring pools and hot tubs that are reserved for guests only. What to do when you need a break from the water? There’s way more than just swimming at the pools, where a variety of games await on the deck. Choose from foosball, ping pong, giant Jenga, Connect Four, a putting green and Cornhole. You’ll surely work up an appetite after all this fun. Grab a table by the outdoor Cabana Bar and order up your favorite poolside fare. You can even add in a cocktail (or mocktail) to really give you that I’m-onvacation feel. Poolside service is also available for drinks and food— get everything you crave delivered right to your lounge chair, just like on a cruise! You can also bring in coolers, just no glass. The kiddies will have a blast

Town Planning Board member John Zerfus, who attended the hearing to observe, suggested that the board, the planning board and the zoning board of appeals should now consider reviewing the town’s comprehensive plan. Town Supervisor Matt McAndrew agreed, saying the first step should be to ask each board to think about issues and topics that they believe need to be addressed. He also asked Palumbo to prepare an estimate

Mansfield Board Considers Cyber Coverage
By Jann Wiswall
Addresses Fiscal Stress
The Town of Mansfield’s board renewed its municipal insurance policy at its meeting on Monday, July 18, and is considering adding cyber coverage to protect residents’ data.
The approved policy covers all town property, employee benefits, equipment, vehicles, crime and public official liability. The cost of the annual policy is up $393 over last year, primarily because of new vehicles.
The cyber policy would provide $50,000 toward expenses resulting from a data breach of town electronic and paper files. The cost would be about $330 per year. As Randy Glenn, account See Mansfield Board page 8

Register by Aug. 8 to ensure your spot for this actionpacked weekend! “Women 16 and up can have the opportunity to try something a little adventurous while in a completely safe and controlled environment,â€? said Suzanne Suchan, National PR & Media Director for Wild Women Unite. “They walk in a little nervous and walk out conďŹ dent and laughing. They make new friends. They will get in line for next year!â€? Suchan added that, “These events provide an outlet to try things that, for one reason or another, women just never got to try before. But the curiosity was always there. We provide that opportunity, and all our workshops are taught on a beginner’s level, so there is no feeling awkward. It’s our ďŹ rst time too! There are many friendships that have started at Wild Women Unite, and many women who have taken up new hobbies too!â€?

KidsFit in Ellicottville
By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Cer tified Trainer
Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition that affects children and adolescents. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults,
such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression. One of the best strategies to reduce childhood obesity is to improve the diet and exercise habits of your entire family. Treating and preventing childhood obesity helps protect the health of your child now and in the future. Core Performance is always offering different options for adults to train and improve their fitness levels, so inviting children to the studio was a natural progression. Fortunately, Molly Eshbach offered to teach a Kidsfit class at Core Performance Fitness and Training. Eshbach, a lifelong gymnast, comes from Saint Marys, PA. Eshbach, who has an infectious enthusiasm and a smile that lights up her face, channeled her gymnastics background into a fitness program for
kiddos. She wanted to start ‘em young, so our pilot group of kiddos ranges from 3 to 6 years old. The objective of each 45-minute class is to not only teach the kids some new skills, but also to work on their agility, strength and cooperation skills. Children work together and independently to complete tumbling tasks, obstacle courses and speed drills. Core Performance is very hopeful that by starting the children in programs like Kidsfit, they develop a lifelong passion for fitness. Our first class filled up within days and so far has been a great success. Core Performance Fitness and Training has plans to offer many more classes for kids of all ages. Follow us on our Facebook page, Core Performance Health and Fitness to find updates on all new classes.

ECS Board Continued from front page
procedures heretofore existing in this district in 2015/2016 unless specifically amended or changed are continued in full effect for the 2016/2017 school year. Of note: There will be no change to school breakfast, lunch or milk prices this year.

Effective December 31, 2016, wages for those employees currently making $9 per hour will increase to $9.70 per hour per the state’s minimum wage increase. The board appointed Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller as the “designated school official” who will receive “court notification regarding a student’s sentence/ adjudication in certain criminal cases and juvenile delinquency proceedings.” The board appointed Superintendent Mark Ward to the new post of “Chief Emergency Officer,” the person responsible for “coordinating
communication between school staff and law enforcement and first responders.” The resolution states that “the chief emergency officer must ensure that all district staff understand the district-wide safety plan, and is also responsible for ensuring that building-level emergency response plans are completed, reviewed annually and updated when needed.” During regular business, the board approved the appointment of Chelsea Cole to a full-time, tenure-track elementary teacher position.

St. Bonaventure Hosts Spellbound Festival On Aug. 5-7, St. Bonaventure will host its first all-ages, family-friendly Spellbound Festival. Conjured from a love of the Harry Potter series both scholars and fans are invited to take part in a weekend of all things magical. An interdisciplinary academic-focused event will provide a forum for scholarly presentations from an array of perspectives. Witches, wizards and muggles of ANY age are invited to send a submission for review. (Submissions will be reviewed with the age of the writer in mind.) This academic portion of the weekend will be free and open to the public. A committee has formed to accept and review submissions for presentations and panel discussion.
Additionally, the festival will feature a one-of-akind opportunity to be “transfigured” into the world of St. Bonaventure’s version of Hogwarts. Guests will be able to choose from an array of exciting activities, such as staying overnight and being sorted into one of the Hogwarts Houses, attending evening feasts in our “Grand Hall”, participating in Quidditch and Wizards Chess tournaments
and demonstrations, shopping at the Diagon Alley vendor fair or taking part in other activities our fan team is developing. The Spellbound Festival is sure to provide a magical experience for witches, wizards and muggles. Join us for interactive programming, panels/discussions, or just to be entertained!

Learn How You Can Help Save Monarch Butterflies
It’s a sad fact that Monarch Butterflies are declining drastically. On Friday morning, Aug. 5, in a coffee shop-like setting at the Audubon Nature Center, you can learn about this unique insect and how to help increase its population by raising caterpillars. Last year, there were 150 percent more Monarchs on their wintering ground than there were the year before. Audubon naturalist Katie
Finch, who will lead the 9:1511:15 a.m. workshop, hopes some of those butterflies came from the Nature Center. Audubon has been raising large numbers of Monarch Butterflies for 10 years and releasing them at the Monarch Butterfly Festival in August. This year’s Festival will be on Saturday, Aug. 27. At Working for Monarchs, you can discover how to be a part of the solution to help Monarchs continue to succeed. The program will cover the basics of the Monarch life cycle and demonstrate how to raise and care for caterpillars. Then the class will head outdoors to look for eggs and caterpillars on Audubon’s milkweed patches. Participants need to dress for the weather and be prepared to walk for up to a mile. The fee for the workshop is $12, or $9 for Friends of the
Nature Center and children ages 9-15. Paid reservations are required by Monday, Aug. 1: Call (716) 569-2345 during business hours to register and pay with a credit card or click on “Coffee Shop Series: Outdoor Fitness” at www. jamestownaudubon.org. Outdoor Fitness is the third in the Nature Center’s August Coffee Shop Series. These programs encourage interactive discussion around a nature-based topic or activity. Participants experience and learn together, and coffee, tea, and snacks are provided. The other August Coffee Shop programs are Culinary Herb Container Gardening on Tuesday, Aug. 2, Fairy Terrariums on Wednesday, Aug. 3, and Working for Monarchs on Friday, Aug, 5. Details are at the Program Listing at www. jamestownaudubon.org.
Town Board Continued from front page
to lead the review effort. A number of other actions were taken by the board during the regular meeting. Town Engineer Mark Alianello explained that the 2016 payment for the East Tank project is due on September 3. The project is being funded through a Bond Anticipation Note (BAN). The 2016 note is for $1,125,000 plus $10,851 in interest. Alianello recommended that the board pay $60,000 in principal plus the interest amount and then take out a 2017 BAN for $1,065,000. Alianello also recommended that the board budget to ensure that the 2018 BAN gets below $1 million, which will significantly reduce interest payments going forward. The board authorized Alianello to direct Municipal Solutions, a financial consultant, to draw up the paperwork for a 2017 Bond Anticipation Note (BAN) of $1,065,000. There was a very preliminary discussion of an idea to create a Joint Water District that would include the town and the village. Alianello explained that there are many issues involved but there could also be many advantages to such an idea. McAndrew said it is “a dialogue we should have.” The board agreed. McAndrew said that he and town attorney Kathleen Moriarty are working on drafting language for warnings and appearance tickets to be used to cite residents in violation of the town’s local alarm law. A meeting with Police Officer in Charge Don Auge, Town Clerk Robyn Clarke, Moriarty, McAndrew and others will be scheduled soon to detail processes and procedures for collection of fines, data management, etc. McAndrew also reported
that the contractor selected to restore the tennis and basketball courts at the Village park is starting this week. Highway Superintendent Tom Scharf reported that the department has had a busy month and is planning to keep up the pace throughout the rest of the summer. He and Alianello presented the board with two options to complete necessary culvert work on Canada Hill (Shearer) Road. One option is to remove the existing pipe and replace it with a new concrete pipe. This would require state Department of Environmental Conservation and federal Corps of Engineers permits. This would take time, likely delaying the work until next year. The other option is to line the existing pipe and grout it. Because this would be considered maintenance, it should not require permits. It also would be significantly less expensive. Alianello recommended the second since the work can get done this year “while we have these dry conditions.” Pending confirmation that federal and state permits would not be required, he asked the board to allow him to pursue option two. The board agreed. Scharf warned that Upper Road will be closed on August 1 for repaving. Please stay alert and watch for flaggers and construction vehicles. Scharf also reported that there have not yet been any responses to their request for bids to construct a roof structure for the department’s fuel pump. Alianello reported that he has not yet advertised for bids for a stand-by booster pump for the reservoir, but he has arranged to rent an emergency, backup pump to be delivered as needed. He expects to get the bid request out this month.
Meanwhile, only one bid for an HVAC system for the Town/ Village hall was received, but it was received after the deadline. The board rejected that bid and asked Alianello to rewrite the bid specs to allow more flexibility and to give companies more time to respond. Finally, an idea by Village of Ellicottville Mayor John Burrell to build a short first leg of the Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail next to the Village Park did not get the Town Board’s support. Burrell’s idea was to build an eight-foot wide sidewalk and 10-foot wide on street parking lane from Fillmore to Mechanic Street along Parkside Drive. The section would be paid for, he hoped, using a combination of funds earmarked for different sidewalks on Fillmore and Parkside as well as Village and Town contributions to the cause, plus local municipal labor. Alianello, in his role on the EVGV Trail Board, prepared preliminary drawings and material cost estimates. The materials-only estimate was $55,000, and did not include engineering plans. However, the biggest issue for the board was the fact that a row of large shade trees along Parkside would have to be removed to make way for the trail. Board members said that there already have been complaints from the public about tree removal, and one board member said he “wants no part of removing trees.” The board suggested that the Trail Committee consider rerouting the trail and decided that it would not commit funds or labor toward the plan as presented at this time. The next meeting of the town board will be held on Wednesday, August 17 at 6 p.m. at the Town/Village Hall.
RealtyUSA Merges with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services
Last week, at a joint press conference held in Buffalo, Merle L. Whitehead, President and CEO of RealtyUSA, and Howard W. “Hoddy” Hanna, III, Chairman of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, announced that RealtyUSA has merged into the Howard Hanna Real Estate family of companies. This merger combines the largest residential real estate broker in New York State with the largest broker in Pennsylvania and Ohio. “I have known and respected the Hanna family for years. Their growth in the last decade has been amazing. A common theme of commitment to our agents by developing the best in products and services for customers and clients will assure our combined success,” said Mr. Whitehead. RealtyUSA is the No. 1 broker in the state of New York, with 65 office locations covering Western and Central New York, Northern New York, the Capital Region and the Southern Tier. The company has more than 2,200 sales associates and employees and is ranked the 9th largest real estate company in the country with 23,023 closed transactions last year.* Howard Hanna Real Estate Services is the No. 1 broker in Pennsylvania and Ohio with 205 office locations in the eight states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Virginia, Michigan, West Virginia, North Carolina and Maryland. The company has more than 7,100 agents and employees and is ranked the 4th largest real estate company in the country with 66,714 closed transactions last year.** The merger ranks Howard Hanna as the 3rd largest real estate company in the United States. The combined performance of the joint company is $16.2 billion in closed sales volume last year and 89,737 closed transactions. The combined strength of the companies is more than 9,000 sales associates and employees in 270 offices. Whitehead will become Chairman of the combined company in New
“We always look to move forward,” said Helen Hanna Casey, President and CEO of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. “We made the decision in the mid-1980s to remain independent, with the goal of always being a large regional broker in the MidAtlantic, Midwest and Great Lakes regions. And when you find a prominent company that is run with the utmost integrity and is so like-minded with complementary management styles and great managers, it makes sense to come together. We’ve been in New York since 2003 in Chautauqua County, and last May Nothnagle Realtors merged with us, adding 32 offices in Western New York, the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes areas. Armand D’Alfonso of Nothnagle will be President of the entire New York organization.” Expansion in Buffalo and entry into the next major metropolitan areas of Syracuse and Albany is a logical move for Howard Hanna. “RealtyUSA and Howard Hanna agents will benefit from each other’s markets for referrals in areas they do not serve. When we expand our reach, everybody within the Howard Hanna family of companies benefits,” said Ms. Casey. “RealtyUSA is truly one of America’s great real estate companies, led by Merle Whitehead, who is recognized as a national leader in real estate. We are honored that Merle will become Chairman of the combined New York State companies,” said Mr. Hanna. “Our business philosophies are very similar, and operationally they know what it takes to create the American dream of home ownership for New Yorkers.” The transition will be seamless for both agents and clients, and the range of services offered will be expanded for both. “We will first introduce our exclusive 100% Money Back Guarantee, which gives buyers added confidence to purchase a home. Additionally,
Merle Whitehead and Helen Hanna Casey at the announcement event
we will be expanding our insurance company, adding approximately 15-20 new positions, as well as increasing marketing and technology systems with another 20 positions throughout the company,” added Mr. Hanna. Founded in Buffalo, New York in 1959, the company now known as RealtyUSA emerged as a dominant local, statewide and national real estate leader, as did Howard Hanna, founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1957. The two companies have known and worked with each other for decades through relationships in the real estate business and began discussions about six months ago about a possible merger. There will not be a change to the company name or to local leadership. Both the RealtyUSA and Nothnagle logos will feature the tagline “A Howard Hanna Company.” Howard Hanna Real Estate Services is a full-service real estate company providing residential and commercial brokerage, mortgage, closing, title, insurance, appraisal, corporate relocation, property management and land development services. *Rankings based on the REAL Trends 500 report, May 2016, which ranks the 500 largest real estate brokers in the United States by 2015 closed transactions. **Rankings based on the REAL Trends 500 report, May 2016, which ranks the 500 largest real estate brokers in the United States by 2015 closed transactions. Franchise closed transactions included.

The Stick
One of the many challenges of being a stay-at-home, occasionally single father is finding new ways to kill the day. One of my greatest discoveries in Los Angeles was Peekaboo Playland, a huge indoor playground with arts and crafts, great toys and a bouncy house, which is basically a mosh pit for toddlers. It also offers free internet and unlimited coffee for the parents. They have a twisting tube slide there, and one day my son kept trying to go up it. Now, I like his “outside the box” thinking and choice to take the more challenging path, but not as much as I like avoiding concussions. After the third time I told him not to do it, I pulled him aside and sternly said, “that’s the last time you’re gonna do that, got it?” “Got it,” he replied. “Say yes sir!” “Yes sir!” I patted him on the back and said, “OK, go have fun.” I turned to see a mother looking at me with an absolute look of horror on her face. I said, “Oh I’m sorry, sometimes I forget I’m in California. That is called discipline. It’s what you do so your child won’t grow up to be an entitled little (expletive).”

Ok, I didn’t really say that to her, but I thought it very loudly in my head. You know what my father used to say to me when I was a kid? “Straighten up or I’ll get after you with the stick!” Try saying that to your child at the local playground and see how fast Child Protective Services gets called. Now, did my dad ever hit me with a stick? No. There was no stick. It didn’t exist. But there was the thought of the stick, and that was enough for me to make the decision to straighten up. Some of the things I’ve heard come out of parents’ mouths in L.A. are absolutely baffling to me. I once heard a mother at the playground say to her daughter, “It’s ok if you don’t want to share.” Really? This is something you instill in a three-year-old? In the most narcissistic, self-centered town on earth? Congratulations mom, your child will make an excellent reality show cast member someday. One day at the park, my kid and I were watching some ducks. A father and his two sons came over to join us. One of the boys looked at my son and out of the blue just punched him in the chest, knocking him to the ground. My son didn’t cry – he just had a look on his face of absolute shock and disbelief. Like he couldn’t believe how that could possibly be an option. The father said “No, no, Jagger. That’s not one of your brothers.” OK, let’s break down everything that’s wrong with that statement: “That’s not one of your brothers.” Indicating that it’s frowned upon to punch strangers, however it’s totally
acceptable to beat the crap out of your siblings. And even more disturbing – “Jagger.” Because considering the fact that the boy was approximately three, it’s more than likely his parents weren’t big fans of The Stones. They were fans of Adam Levine. I weep for the future. At least this father was making some kind of vague attempt to correct his kid’s behavior, though. When my son was two, we attended weekly “Mommy and Me” classes, which by the way is a totally sexist name. My son was playing with another boy and they started fighting over a toy. When I tried to intervene and correct my son’s behavior, the other boy’s grandmother turned, wagged her finger and shouted, “No! Let them work it out!” OK. First of all, Gramma, put that finger away. This aggression will not stand at Wallaby. And second, twoyear-olds don’t know how to work anything out. They’re basically adorable idiots. A good rule of thumb? If you’re still firing butt-rockets into a diapey, you need guidance and instruction on everything. Trust me, I don’t pretend to have all the answers when it comes to raising a kid. It’s hard. Should you tell them it’s OK to not share? Probably not. Should you threaten to hit them with a blunt instrument? Definitely not. The answer is somewhere in between. I’m trying to shower mine with love and affection, discipline him when necessary and hope he doesn’t grow up to be a jerk. The world has enough of those already.

‘Charcoal Joe’ by Walter Mosley Picking up where his last adventures in Rose Gold left off in L.A. in the late 1960s, Ezekiel “Easy” Rawlins finds his life in transition. He’s finally ready to propose to his girlfriend and he’s started a new detective agency. But, inevitably, a case gets in the way: Easy’s friend Mouse introduces him to Rufus Tyler, a very old man everyone calls Charcoal Joe. Joe’s friend’s son, Seymour (young, bright, top of his class in physics at Stanford), has been arrested and charged with the murder of a white man from Redondo Beach. Joe tells Easy he will pay and pay well to see this young man exonerated, but seeing as how Seymour literally was found standing over the man’s dead body that might prove to be a tall order. Between his new company, a heart that should be broken but is not, a whole raft of new bad guys on his tail, and a bad odor that surrounds Charcoal Joe, Easy has his hands full, his horizons askew, and his life in shambles around his feet.

executive with the Evans Agency, explained, the policy would cover the cost (up to $50,000) of providing credit monitoring for individuals whose personal data is stolen. He also said that the insurer would provide the town with guidance to make sure it has the appropriate mechanisms in place to help prevent such theft. Glenn said it costs an average of $270 per person/ year to provide data/credit monitoring of a stolen Social Security number, credit card or other private information. The policy covers theft of data from a computer database, a physical file cabinet or a piece of correspondence that is in the town’s possession. The hard-copy data theft coverage is a new feature of the policy this year. The board will make a decision once Glenn gets back to them with an exact annual cost for the policy. County Assessor Department Town Supervisor Bob Keis informed the board that Cattaraugus County is considering taking municipal assessment in-house, potentially as soon as in 2018. Currently each municipality has its own part-time assessor, and most are appointed to eight year terms. Many are coming to the end of their terms in 2018 and many are planning on retiring, which could leave some municipalities without any trained assessors at all.
Bringing the role into the county (within the department of real property services) would make the positions full-time and more structured, would provide oversight and management that does not currently exist and would allow the county to bring in and train new assessors for the future. Fiscal Stress Keis also informed the board that the state’s annual “fiscal stress assessment” of Mansfield has improved slightly but the town is still considered to be “susceptible to fiscal stress.” Keis explained that this is due to the fact that the town has been forced to rely on fund balance appropriations (using reserve funds) since the 2012 Highway Barn fire put the town into debt for the first time in many years. The state recommends that municipalities maintain 1520% of their budget in a fund balance for emergencies, he said. The town had expected to see property tax revenues increase as a result of new construction by now (particularly at HoliMont’s WestMont Ridge), which would have alleviated some of the pressure on its finances, but that project has slowed. While some other revenue streams have increased (state highway funds and total property assessments), sales tax revenue has fallen off and the Canadian dollar continues to negatively impact the WNY economy. Keis said that, given these
stressors, it may be necessary next year for the board to override the state tax cap and increase the tax levy. Keis said he would prepare a ‘test’ budget that does not use any fund balance to see where things stand and report back to the board. Senior Citizen Exemption Cattaraugus County provides tax exemptions to senior citizens age 65 and over within certain income brackets to help reduce their county tax burdens. In May, the legislature voted to add two new income levels and exemption percentages to the program. Each municipality in the county must amend their current local law in order to offer the same exemption for local (and school) taxes. The Mansfield board approved a motion to modify the law. Bridge NY Finally, Keis announced that new state funds are being allocated through Governor Cuomo’s “Bridge NY” program to help local governments rehabilitate and repair bridges and culverts over the next two years. Keis said he and Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley will be submitting a funding application for repair of Mansfield Bridge #32 on Kent Road. Applications are due September 9. The next meeting of the Mansfield board is scheduled for Monday, August 15 at 7 p.m. in the town hall. All are welcomed.

Drought Watch Issued for New York New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos today issued a drought watch for the entire state of New York following consultation with the State Drought Management Task Force and Federal partner agencies. “While most public water supplies are still generally normal throughout the state, below normal precipitation over the last 9 months, low stream flows, and reduced groundwater levels have prompted the need for this action,” Commissioner Seggos said. “We are encouraging residents throughout the state to conserve water whenever possible during the coming months.” A watch is the first of four levels of state drought advisories (“watch,” “warning,” “emergency” and “disaster”). There are no statewide mandatory water use restrictions in place under a drought watch. However, local public water suppliers may require such measures depending upon local needs and conditions. The last drought watch in New York State was issued in 2002. The drought watch is triggered by the State
art in the park
Drought Index, which reflects precipitation levels, reservoir/ lake levels, and stream flow and groundwater levels in nine designated drought regions throughout New York. Each of these indicators is assigned a weighted value based on its significance to various uses in a region. Observed precipitation has been less than normal with shortfalls of 4 to 8 inches common over the last 90 days. The dry weather dates back to the October 1st start of the “water year” and is beginning to significantly affect other water metrics. Stream flows and groundwater levels are well below normal throughout much of the state. Groundwater levels were seasonally worse in June compared to May and they are not expected to improve in the immediate future due to the existing precipitation deficit. For more detailed drought information, please visit DEC’s website. The following are some conservation tips that homeowners can take to voluntarily reduce their water usage: • Fix dripping and leaking faucets and toilets. A faucet leaking 30 drops per minute wastes 54 gallons a month.
• Raise your lawn mower cutting height. Longer grass needs less water. • If your community allows watering, water lawns and gardens on alternate mornings instead of every day. Less frequent watering will develop grass with deeper roots, and early morning watering minimizes evaporation. • When using automatic lawn watering systems, override the system in wet weather or use a rain gauge to control when and how much water to use. A fixed watering schedule wastes water. Irrigate only when needed. • Sweep sidewalks and steps rather than hosing them. Eliminating a weekly 5-minute pavement hose-down could save between 625 and 2500 gallons of water per year depending on the flow rate. For more water saving tips, visit DEC’s website. “Conserving water is important all year long, but particularly during extended dry periods,” Commissioner Seggos said. “By voluntarily reducing water usage, and being extra careful with fire and outdoor flames, New Yorkers can help conserve our natural resources during these dry days of summer.”

Wednesday, June 8, was a very tough day for the community of Ellicottville as we lost the “Voice of Ellicottville,” Robert McCarthy. All of Ellicottville is saddened with the passing of Bob McCarthy and many people have stepped forward to make sure that Irish Christmas continues. Renamed “Bob McCarthy’s” Irish Christmas, the Rotary Club of Ellicottville will ensure that this fantastic event will continue in Bob’s honor. Mark your calendars - December 2! Memorials can be made in Bob’s honor to: The Rotary Club of Ellicottville Foundation for Youth PO Box 101 Ellicottville, NY 14731
