Finish Off Your Summer Bucket List
With only two short weeks left before Labor Day weekend, the unofficial end of summer, it’s crunch time for that summer bucket list! Don’t miss your chance for adventure at Holiday Valley’s Sky High, where you can zipline, navigate obstacles, climb to the treetops and soar down the mountain all in one day! Sky High is open daily through Sept. 7, and after that, is open only on weekends. Take in the last of the summer scenery on Holiday Valley’s weekend chairlift rides. Enjoy the warm breeze as you head up to Spruce Lake, and enjoy the greenery before it turns to orange and yellow. If you haven’t cooled off at the Holiday Valley Pool Complex this summer, there are only limited days left! Enjoy a lap pool, toddler pool with two mini waterfalls and the activity pool compete with slide. The neighboring Cabana Bar is just steps away—treat yourself to poolside food and drinks that will make you feel like you’re on vacation, but hurry—the pool complex is only open through Sept. 7. Allegany State Park is fun year-round, but there’s just something about being there during peak season. Head to the final Hootenanny of the season on Thursday, Sept. 3, where Sally Marsh will host her famous high-energy sing-along at the Quaker Amphitheater at 8 p.m. Soak up the sun at the two beaches before they close for the season after Labor Day weekend, and take advantage of a variety of free educational programming offered daily at the park before school is back in session. You can even watch a movie under the stars at the Quaker Amphitheater, with three shows left this season.

By Daniel Meyer
Pictured at the ceremonial groundbreaking from left are BCH Director of Patient Care Services Darlene Schrantz, Chair of the BCH Board of Directors Gary Eppolito, Mercy Flight Founder and President Douglas Baker, and Mercy Flight Director of Flight Operations Marc Boies.
As part of its ongoing mission to ensure that patients and their families always come first, and as a way to cope with our region’s inclement weather conditions during the winter months, Mercy Flight of Western New York is constructing a new hangar behind Bertrand Chaffee Hospital on East Main Street in the Village of Springville. Mercy Flight officials were joined on Tuesday, Aug. 18 by employees of Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and major stakeholders from various entities in the community at a groundbreaking ceremony for what will eventually be a 2,400-square-foot structure that will be located adjacent to an existing helipad at the hospital.

Undersheriff’s Colleagues Shave Heads in Solidarity

The August 19 meeting of the Town of Ellicottville’s board started with introductions. First, Supervisor John Burrell and Police Officer in Charge Don Auge introduced the newest member of the

Mansfield Formalizing Road Use Ordinance By Jann Wiswall
Mansfield’s town board has been working with Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley on developing an ordinance to protect the town’s roads from damage by heavy vehicles. The issue came about as a result of some problems with logging and construction companies whose especially
heavy vehicles are causing damage to roads and bridges, which results in expensive repairs for a department with a limited highway budget. Hurley explained to the board at its Monday, Aug. 17 meeting that the intent of the regulations is to formalize policies that are already in See Mansfield Board page 9
CHEF SPOTLIGHT:
Rory Mosher of John Harvard’s Cattaraugus County Undersheriff William (Bill) Nichols, who is being treated for leukemia at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, has been at the hospital since his June 10 bone marrow transplant. Taking the lead from Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb, who shaved his head after visiting his colleague in the hospital on August 9, some 50 of Nichols’ colleagues, men and
women alike, shaved their heads to “express their commitment of support.” The photo above and the story of the department’s actions has gotten tremendous local, regional and national attention. Today. com ran the story on Aug. 17 as word spread. The department also collected donations to the hospital in Nichols’ name.

fresh salad poolside in the summer, John Harvard’s is a must-stop on the Ellicottville restaurant circuit. Behind the scenes, the dishes are created by Chef Rory Mosher, who was born and See Rory Mosher page 5

“We have experienced a tremendous partnership over the years and have been fortunate to have the conďŹ dence and support of the hospital and community since day one,â€? said Doug Baker, the founder and president of Mercy Flight of Western New York. “This project is a great ďŹ t and a win-win for Mercy Flight, the hospital and the communities we serve in the Southern Tier.â€? The project will include the construction of a 60’ x 60’ pre-fabricated metal hangar with a helipad, an ofďŹ ce and three bedrooms that can be used by on-call pilots and emergency medical personnel. The new hangar will allow Mercy Flight to strategically position its aircrafts and ight teams in closer proximity to rural communities such as Springville, Concord, Colden, Sardinia and Ellicottville to help improve response times in emergency transport situations. “This expansion represents a relationship that has come full circle over the past 35 years,â€? said Nils Gunnersen, CEO of Bertrand Chaffee Hospital. “Every minute counts when we encounter patients with critical or life-threatening injuries, and we are so fortunate to have more rapid access to Mercy Flight’s highly skilled and practiced resources.â€? Bertrand Chaffee Hospital was the site of Mercy Flight’s ďŹ rst transport in 1981, a fact that Darlene Schrantz, a registered nurse and the hospital’s director of patient
care services, revisits on a daily basis at work and at home. “My son, who was less than two months old at the time, needed to be transferred, but it was the same day as a Rolling Stones concert and trafďŹ c was heavy so ambulance service from Buffalo to Springville was limited,â€? recalls Schrantz. “Mercy Flight came through for us that day, just as they have for Photo BCH Facebook page our community for the past 35 years.

Great Valley Day Care Center Expanding Sunflower House Has Openings By Mary Heyl
As the beginning of the school year draws near, it’s time for Mom and Dad to make plans for childcare this fall. Fortunately for families in the Ellicottville area, Kristine Germain’s Sunflower House Family Day Care Center in Great Valley is expanding to accept up to 16 children, from infants to children up to twelve years old. Germain, a licensed family daycare provider, has recently received her license as a group daycare center, which allows her to accommodate 16 children instead of eight, which is the cap for family daycare. According to Germain, “The demand for childcare has been unbelievable since opening my
business,” which she did earlier this year. “I have hired a fabulous assistant; therefore, I can take two more infants, plus a variety of other age groups. I currently have openings for 2, 3, and 4 year olds.” Although Germain’s business is new to the area (it opened last year), Germain is far from new to the daycare business. She owned and operated her own daycare center in St. Mary’s, PA, fort the kids built with up-cycled and was the director A materials of a daycare center “My experience in daycare in Buffalo before opening her center in Great Valley.

It’s about quality, not quantity.” Sunflower House Family Day Care Center is located at 5882 Brewer Road in Great Valley. To accommodate parents’ needs, Germain’s center is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. year ‘round.

Local artist and author Wende Essrow shares her creativity with the world through the magic of her paintings and inspiring stories that reflect her love of nature. The last time The Ellicottville Times caught up with Essrow, she was busy promoting The Paintbrush Dreamer, a book full of Essrow’s original watercolors. Since then, Essrow has been busy writing and painting and working on her newest book, If You Listen to the Trees. The 28page book has taken Essrow three years to complete and includes more watercolors, as well as a final illustration done with charred wood. Essrow describes the main character as “a young girl artist who spends a major part of her day outdoors...who uses charred pieces of wood as a drawing medium.” Before the book was written, Essrow was cleaning out her wood stove. Her dog eagerly picked up a piece of charred wood to chew on. When Essrow took the wood out of his mouth—slobber and all— she realized it would serve her well as a (free!) art medium, and from there, the idea for the book was born. “He gifted me a book concept!” Essrow laughed. Essrow filled the pages with a unique story where “the trees become the characters” and notes that the book is ideal for families wishing to slow it down. She notes that “trees
have their own special way of communicating” and thinks the book will appeal to those who appreciate nature and going green. “After spending so many hours walking through the woods I am honored to share the spirit of the forest with my readers,” Essrow said. Essrow, who lives in West Falls, NY, explains her love of art like this: “Painting has always been my way of expressing gratitude for the beauty that unfolds each new dawn. I walk for miles
cherishing each sunrise as if it were the first, never ceasing to be in awe of the morning light. The symmetry and uniqueness of each snowflake whispers a sense of master intelligence to me while the subdued pastels of winter skies fill me with delight. Emerald green wild grass, the ruby shimmer of a hummingbird’s throat, the prism inside a single drop of dew; each take my breath away. When I return to the studio, it is time to say thanks through the tip of my paintbrush.” With numerous detailed paintings incorporated into the book, Essrow said, “I feel this book contains my best art.” She also added that, “This (book) is the legacy I would like to leave...It speaks to the heart and includes a good lesson.” Reserve your copy of If You Listen to the Trees at a special book release event at the Tifft Nature Preserve (1200 Fuhrmann Boulevard, Buffalo) on Saturday, Aug. 29, from 3 to 5 p.m. Afterwards, Essrow will guide children and adults in creating a book-inspired charcoal drawing of their own to take home. Original artwork from the book will also be displayed. Pre-registration for the event is required by calling (716) 825-6397 or visiting www.tifft. org. If you can’t make it to the book release party, the book will soon be available in many area bookstores and online retailers. For more information, visit www.wendeessrow.com.

raised in Little Valley. Mosher learned his craft from his parents, who owned the former Pasta Villa in Ellicottville, where he worked starting at the age of 15. The restaurant bug has stayed with him ever since. “I’ve been at Holiday Valley for nine years, and I’ve been at John Harvard’s since it opened,” Mosher said, noting that he was promoted to chef early this year. Before working at John Harvard’s, he worked as a cook in various capacities throughout the resort, including in wedding catering.
Mosher, a die hard Bills fan, cites cooking for Jim Kelly and Hunter’s Hope as a unique career highlight. Mosher now designs all of John Harvard’s daily lunch and dinner specials, as well as the regular menu features, which he describes as “familyoriented and traditional.” Mosher points out that one of the most popular entrees is a regularly featured scallop special that “usually sells out.” In addition to the scallops, John Harvard’s offers, and is perhaps known for, its many
other unique seafood specials. In fact, guests attending the Tuscan Moon Fundraiser on Aug. 29 will be treated to a delectable seafood medley created by Mosher at John Harvard’s station. Whether you stop in for the fundraiser, after a round of golf or to fuel up before heading to Sky High, Mosher serves up the cuisine that fits the bill. And be sure to stop back again come early October, when the restaurant will switch to its fall menu.

The Source for
2015-16 Sporting Licenses Now Available As part of the NY Open for Fishing and Hunting Initiative, last year New York streamlined the hunting and fishing license structure, made it consistent for residents and non-residents and reduced license fees. Some hunters and anglers may not be familiar with these license changes, but licensing-issuing agents can provide assistance and ensure that license buyers secure all the desired permits and privileges. Details are available at the DEC website, www.dec.ny.gov. The DEC Call Center at 1-866-933-2257 is accessible from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday through Oct. 1. To facilitate the purchase of a sporting license, individuals should have the following items ready when buying a license: complete name and address
information, DEC customer ID number if you have it, proof of residency information (driver’s license number or non-driver’s ID number with a valid NYS address to qualify for a resident license), and, if purchasing by phone or internet, a credit card and card expiration date. Hunting license purchases require individuals to provide proof of a hunting education certification or a copy of a previous license, if this information is not already contained in their sporting license system file. All firsttime hunters must pass one or more courses before they can get a hunting license in New York. Visit the Sportsman Education page on the DEC website to learn more and find a free course near you.
The inaugural season of the new opera initiative, Midsummer Night Opera, will culminate on Aug. 21 and 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater with two performances of Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte. Both shows are non-ticketed and free to the public. This fully staged work will be sung in the original Italian, with English subtitles. Firsttime attendees and opera buffs alike will be treated to an updated staging of this timeless piece: this version is set in the late 1960s and embraces themes surrounding the sexual revolution. The story focuses on two young men who believe that their girlfriends
are paragons of faithfulness. A friend wagers that he can prove that all women are fickle and can be easily tempted. Colorful staging and vocal fireworks ensure a vibrant experience of this classic comedic opera! Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater takes great pride in hosting this event. The theater, which was built in 1926 by the renowned theater design firm of Leon H. Lempert & Son, is in the process of being historically restored. Although the audience will be seated in temporary folding chairs, patrons are encouraged to enjoy the other restored and intact historical details of the majestic building such as: the stained and leaded
glass panels depicting the masks of comedy and tragedy, original chandeliers, elaborate ornamental plaster surrounding the stage’s proscenium, richly detailed ceiling and walls and the ornate 22-foot ceiling dome. Midsummer Night Opera’s collaboration with Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater is compelling because of its juxtaposition of tradition and innovation. MNO presents a fresh, young, cutting edge approach to traditional opera in a timeless venue that invites high-quality musicianship and artistry. The setting in a historic theater, which once played host to such programs, is a powerful reminder of how art, culture and music transcend time. Listening to the brilliant work of Mozart seated in the last remaining Lempert Theater in Cattaraugus County is where Art and History will collide this month. The performances are funded by The Community Foundation for a Greater Buffalo, a 501(c) 3 organization established in 1919 to enhance and encourage long-term philanthrope in the Western New York community. The Foundation’s mission is: connecting people, ideas and resources to improve lives in WNY. For 95 years, the Community Foundation has made the most of the generosity of individuals, families, foundation and organization who entrust charitable assets to its care. (www.cfgb.org)

Nature Center Offering Adult Day Camp, Sept. 9-11
When the kids go back to school, it’s time for grown-ups to have fun learning about the world around them. From Wednesday to Friday, September 9-11, the Audubon Nature Center is offering Adult Day Camp. This is your opportunity to play, hike, have fun and learn a lot – just like the Nature Center’s Day Camp for kids.
All summer long the Audubon Nature Center has been swarming with children excited to play, hike, have fun, get dirty and learn a lot. The staff at the Nature Center got to wondering: Why should kids get to have all the fun? So when the kids go back to school, the Nature Center is offering this same opportunity to adults – though getting dirty is not required! From 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday through Friday, Sept. 9-11, will be the firstever Adult Day Camp, an all morning nature experience with a full staff of naturalists. The Adult Day Camp will be an intensive nature learning experience combined with fun and games. Each of the Nature Center’s naturalists will take a
chunk of time to teach a topic they are passionate about, from salamanders to birds to insects and more. There will be a lot going on. The group will venture off the trails to see what it happening in some of the Center’s most unique areas. They might explore the Spatterdock Underworld and get a close-up look at the salamanders, snails and odd slugs that live on the property. Or they might even play with nets to catch insects on the wing and underwater to learn about some of the seldom noticed creatures that share our world. The program will follow the passion and skills of the Nature Center’s Education Staff -Katie Finch, Sarah Hatfield, Jennifer Schlick and Jeff Tome -- each of whom has a wealth
of knowledge about nature. They will teach the topics they love the most and are excited to bring you along to share their enthusiasm with you. Remember to dress for the weather. Programs will happen rain or shine. The fee is $72 or $54 for Friends of the Nature Center, and space is limited. Paid reservations are required by Saturday, September 5: call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or use the on-line form by clicking on “Adult Day Camp” at www. jamestownaudubon.org. Nature Center education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, Johnson Foundation, and Lenna Foundation. The Audubon Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. The building, with its collection of live animals, interactive exhibits and the Blue Heron Gift Shop, is open 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 1-4:30 p.m. Sundays. The grounds, including trails, gardens, picnic tables, arboretum, and Liberty, the Bald Eagle, can be visited from dawn until dusk daily. To learn more about the Nature Center and its many programs, call (716) 569-2345 or visit www. jamestownaudubon.org.

Late Summer Nature Programs at ASP Summer’s not over, and Allegany State Park (ASP) still has a lot of fun programming to enjoy before the kids head back to school! Art in the Woods Nature is fleeting: Flowers fade. Leaves fall. Soon snow will cover everything. Keeping a nature journal is a great way to savor each season while it’s here. These journals are also a great tool in identifying what you see after you are out of the woods. You don’t have to be a master naturalist or artist to create a nature journal, anyone can do it! Check out Laura’s Nature Journaling here in ASP to learn the basics on how to get your own journal started! You See Them All the Time, but What Are They— White Tail Deer! Check out our Walking with Whitetails program at the Butterfly Meadow on ASP 2 to learn some cool facts about these big-eyed creatures who fill Allegany’s open fields on a nightly basis. You’ll learn about the effects deer have on the environment and how to spot them in action. You may even get to see a deer or two while you are there. Kayaking: Smart Start Paddling Orientation One of the fastest growing water recreation activities, kayaking, is making its way to Allegany’s Programming. In this introductory course, participants will be exposed to the basics of kayak paddling skills and safety need to knows while on the water. The course will last approximately 1.5 hours and is offered at no cost. Class space limited. Please call
Katie (KV) at (716) 354-9101 x 236 for class times and signup. You must bring your own kayak or rent one from the Boat house for $15 per hour. Fish ‘N Fun In Allegany State Park We’ve all heard Finding Nemo’s, Bruce the Shark, make his pledge that Fish are Friends, NOT food! We commend Bruce on his perseverance, but sometimes in ASP, fish can be our friends and our food. Check out Coty’s Fish are Friends… and Food! program to discover what fish species swim about in ASP waters, and which can suffice as a hearty meal. Park It and Read: Wednesday, Aug. 26 1—2p.m. Take a break to catch up on some summer reading with Cathy Walsh from Gowanda Free Library. Cathy will be in the Red House Administration Building Lower Lobby and will be sharing some of her favorite nature themed stories!

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Nemesis’ by Catherine Coulter When Special Agent Lacey Sherlock foils a terrorist attack at JFK airport, she thinks her job is done, but stopping the grenade-carrying crazy was only the beginning. Another plot unfolds nearly simultaneously with a bomb at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The terrorist at JFK refuses to speak to anyone but Sherlock. She heads back with counterterrorist Special Agent Cal McLain to try to get him to talk. Meanwhile, Savich—with the help of Agent Griffin Hammersmith—has his hands full trying to track an elusive murderer who looks like a Hollywood Dracula. When Dracula’s attempts to kill Savich collide with Sherlock’s terrorist case, very strange things happen. Who is really behind the bombing attack at St. Patrick’s? How does Savich’s mysterious killer fit into Sherlock’s terrorism investigation? Savich and Sherlock race against the clock, as more lives are in danger with every passing minute. 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!
A Night at the Derby Fundraiser Oct. 3 Head to Springville on Saturday, Oct. 3 for a unique fundraiser. “A Night at the Derby” will be held from 6 to 10:30 p.m. at St. Aloysius Parish Hall, 190 Franklin St., in Springville. This is a unique fundraiser and social event that uses Thoroughbred Horse Races instead of a traditional raffle to determine the winning number. Races are up-to-date productions shot with five cameras. Each race features commentary by professional race track announcers and shows the horses parading to
the post, loading in the gate, split-screen close-ups, horses in the lead graphics, the tote board results, the winning horse in the winner’s circle, slow-motion photo finish replays, plus a full graphic and commentary announcing the results of each race. All races will be projected on a stateof-the-art video projection system to give everyone the feeling that they are ‘at the derby’. There will be a total of nine races with 10 horses in each race. The tenth race will consist of the winners of each of the first nine races with a
tenth horse to be auctioned off prior to the race. Prizes are determined by the number of participants and how many raffle tickets are purchased for each horse. Event tickets are $20.

place, which Hurley said work well as long as the department knows the work is occurring. “It’s common courtesy for loggers and construction companies to touch base with the highway department before starting their work. Most do, which allows us to work with them to minimize damage. It’s the companies we don’t know about that cause the problems,” Hurley said. Typically, the highest risk for road damage is during spring and wet weather periods. Hurley sometimes requires companies to delay their work for a week or two, or to post bonds, which serve as an “insurance” policy for the town against damage. “We’ve never had to collect on a bond,” Hurley said, but that’s because bonds serve as a deterrent. And they’re only required by Hurley on a case by case basis. Town Supervisor Bob Keis added that the town needs to
“make our policy official so that companies are required to contact the highway department before their work begins and post bonds if Hurley determines there is sufficient risk.” The board is reviewing policies from other municipalities to help them come up with language that adequately addresses Mansfield’s issues. Hurley will provide feedback and any new policy will be reviewed by the town’s attorney. In other business, the annual town budget process has begun. Recently, the state reminded municipalities that, while there is technically a two percent budget cap (also known as “allowable levy growth”), in actuality the cap is the lesser of two percent OR the rate of inflation. Currently, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate is at .073 percent. According to the Office of the
State Comptroller, if this trend continues, local governments and schools may be faced with a “significantly less than two percent scenario” and perhaps even a zero percent allowable levy growth. As a result, in preparing its budget, the town board is proposing no 2016 raises for board members, the Highway Superintendent, the Code Enforcement Officer and certain other employees. Highway department staff, the town clerk, and certain other staff (to be determined) will likely receive a one percent raise. For the highway department, this should offset increases to their health insurance contribution. The board expects to review a draft of the proposed 2016 budget at its next meeting on Monday, Sept. 21 meeting at 7 p.m. in the town hall and to hold a public hearing on the budget at its October 19 meeting.
Town Board Continued from front page
The board welcomed Kowalski and offered him their support, noting that it is nice to have a police officer living in and getting to know the community. Next up, William and Racquel Bursee introduced themselves to the board and briefed them on their hopes to build a small brew pub and distillery at the former Aardvark Home Décor location on Rt. 219 across from Tim Horton’s. The Bursee’s, who have spoken with Ellicottville’s Code Enforcement Officer, Tom Abriatis, will be working with the town planning board to determine whether the location is zoned for the proposed business and to work out other details. If approved, they hope to open a restaurant offering a food, craft beers, and their own distilled vodkas and gins. They also plan to produce bourbon and whiskey, which will be aged at another location. Town Engineer Mark Alianello suggested the Bursee’s meet with Abriatis and Town Planner Carol Horowitz for an initial working session to review zoning law. Last month, the board held a public hearing on its proposed Local Alarm Law. Although no one from the public attended the hearing, Burrell asked the board to hold off on a vote until Village Court Justice Jack Rogan could weigh in. Rogan suggested several changes to the draft which was “designed to regulate, control and establish standards for… emergency alarms...” Its intent is to ensure that fire and police are able to contact the property owner if their alarm goes off, either due to a true emergency or a false alarm, and to reduce the number of false alarms. In order to do so, the law will require property owners to obtain annual permits for their alarm systems and to keep them in good working order. It also will assess fees for false alarms. Rogan had some substantive
questions and suggestions regarding: how the law would be enforced; how citations would be issued; how it would be coordinated; whether the Village was covered by the law; if the law would apply to the entire fire district or only to the town; the fee schedule; and some practical issues regarding communication between agencies and managing processes. Ellicottville Fire Chief Kevin Morton also was present to ask process-related questions. The board and Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty felt that Rogan’s and Morton’s comments were very thoughtful and relevant and agreed that a new draft of the law should be prepared and reviewed again by the board. Because the spirit of the law is not changing, however, the board did not think it necessary to schedule another public hearing. Department Head Reports Police: Burrell said he has gotten several complaints about drivers speeding on Poverty Hill Rd., where the speed limit is 45 mph. Auge said he has assigned officers to the area and they have not yet observed speeders. Highways: Highway Superintendent Loyd Hovey said a resident had asked him if “Children at Play” signs could be installed near his home on Poverty Hill Rd. The board decided that the department could install the signs if the resident purchases them. Several complaints about the condition of Deer Crossing Rd. have been received. Hovey agrees it’s in bad shape and expects to fill potholes there before winter, however he said Upper Rd. is in even worse condition so it will be patched first. Engineering: Alianello walked the board through the complicated financial process of paying off one Bond Anticipation Note (BAN) of $1.4 million for the East Tank Project and executing a new $1.125 million BAN for the
following year. The board resolved to take both actions. Alianello explained that this process will be followed for many years, reducing the loan total each year until the project is paid in full. Alianello also reported that Holiday Valley Rd. construction has picked up since the weather finally improved and that the legal paperwork necessary to abandon the old Holiday Valley Road in front of the lodge and dedicate the new road to the town will be ready for the board’s signature soon. Alianello asked the board to support his efforts to convince the Department of Transportation to construct a sidewalk along Rt. 219 from the Village to Tim Horton’s. The DOT has denied the request, saying it had determined there is not a significant safety issue. Alianello argued that there is, indeed, a safety issue, particularly as the town continues to grow in that direction. He is sending the DOT a copy of the town’s comprehensive plan as evidence of need and asked the board to contact area Congressmembers and Senators for letters of support. Finally, Alianello said he has worked with his Village colleagues (known as the Four Flushers) to devise a process to help property owners with frozen pipes now that the Village’s Department of Public Works has equipment that can defrost them from the inside. If the DPW determines that the freeze is on private property, the DPW will charge the property owner a flat fee of $200. If the freeze is in town lines, which is more typical, there will be no charge. Alianello suggested that the board establish a formal policy on the subject, which must be approved by the Village board as well. The next meeting of the town of Ellicottville’s board will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 16 at 6 p.m. at the town/village hall.
