ASP Rolls Out New Group Camp, Mountain Biking Trails By Jeff Martin
© 2013 KEYSTONE DESIGNERS
For those who like to set themselves astride a mountain bike, you may want to pay close attention to what’s going on over at Allegany State Park. Gary Quattrone, park manager for the Allegany Region, said volunteers are finishing work on the approximate 2- to 3-mile mountain bike loop off Ridge Run Trail. The trail is the culmination of about 300 hours of volunteer work. “It’s a single track trail, and it’s going to be fantastic riding for those who are into that kind of activity,” Quattrone said. About 31 people showed up during the last work session, he said, a figure that’s been indicative of the passion bestowed upon not only the new trail but all trails throughout the wildly popular park. The new trail is expected to be completed this weekend, he said. Its completion marks the beginning of an exciting season at the state park. Quattrone said all trails throughout the park are getting touch-ups, including culvert and sluice pipe work, as well as general maintenance and preservation work. The park’s new group camp in the Quaker Run Area opens Memorial Day weekend and includes a new facility washhouse, mess hall and 18 sleeping units. Quattrone said the project goes back to 2010 when the state allocated funds to help with the project, which was meant to replace 20 existing cabins with 10 modern cabins.

Seven New Artists Take Part in Routes to Art Open Studio Tour by Eva Potter
If you enjoy navigating winding country roads that reveal the quaint hamlets and picturesque valleys of Cattaraugus County, then you’re in
Eileen Weishan
for a real treat. Begin your backyard adventure with an artistic driving tour of the county on May 18–19, 2013, when the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) hosts the sixth annual Routes to Art (RTA) open studio tour. And this year, RTA has the pleasure of welcoming seven new artists. For those unfamiliar with the event, RTA is a weekend-long, self-guided driving tour of artists’ studios located in various locations throughout the county. This award-winning tour is free and open to the public both days from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. This year CCAC has chosen to make artist locations more accessible to visitors by choosing locations centered around Ellicottville, Salamanca, Little Valley, Cattaraugus and a few outliers in Irving and West Valley. Thirty-five artists will be showing in their own studios or collectively at other viewing See Routes to Art page 9
Dressing Up for Victorian Tea
By Mary Fox
From little girls to octogenarians, we never lose our love of “dressing up.” In ladies’ gowns, mom’s high heel shoes and grandma’s old hat, we stepped out for the afternoon. The ladies of the Historical Society of Ellicottville hosted their annual Victorian Tea
last Saturday April 28 at the United Church of Ellicottville. Alice in Wonderland would have loved to be there. There were no rabbits but there was plenty of tea — pots full — served to 40 ladies enjoying a cup with friends while listening to Annette Ieda’s classical violin. Plates heaped with dainty finger food, from cucumber sandwiches to scones to chocolatecovered strawberries, were served in the three traditional high tea courses. Seven young ladies from the Ellicottville Girl Scout Troop donated their time preparing and serving while modeling Mennonite-made quilted aprons donated by Jodi Bentley. ”Victorian teas are noted for being served with aprons. I thought them appropriate as they were hand stitched by Mennonites as in Victorian Days,” Bentley said. Between courses, eight ladies in traditional Victorian costumes waltzed down the runway See Victorian Tea page 3
Relay for Life June 1 at ECS
Teams Gearing Up to Break Fundraising Record By Jann Wiswall
As many as 20 teams and 200 participants from all over Cattaraugus County are scheduled to participate in the annual Relay for Life, the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, at the Ellicottville Central School track on June 1.
According to Dash Hegeman, an event organizer, the fundraising goal this year is $53,000 — $5,000 more than was raised at last year’s very successful event. Relay for Life, the world’s largest walk to end cancer, is a global fundraiser that honors cancer survivors,
remembers loved ones lost and raises awareness about what we can do to stay well and prevent cancer. According to the Relay’s website, more than 4 million people in some 20 countries raise as much as $400 million each year for the Relay for Life movement. See Relay for Life page 7
Zumbathon to Benefit Strong Kids Campaign at Olean Y By Jann Wiswall
The second annual Zumbathon event at the Olean YMCA is scheduled for this Sunday, May 5, beginning at 12:30 p.m., and promises to be a fun and energizing workout for all participants, whether you’re a beginner or a serious Zumba fan. Plus, proceeds
from the event benefit a good cause — the YMCA’s Strong Kids Campaign. “The Zumbathon will be a great time for all,” says Kim Watt, a Zumba instructor at Ellicottville’s Core Performance Fitness & Training and one of seven instructors scheduled to lead
the crowd at Sunday’s event. “Just bring a towel, plenty of water, and some comfortable soft-soled sneakers or crosstrainers, and get ready to dance the day away.” Zumba combines terrific Latin-inspired, percussionladen music with easy-toSee Zumbathon page 8

Red House Admin Building a Tudor-Style Masterpiece By Bob Schmid
The Red House Administration Building inside Allegany State Park (ASP) is a magnificent architectural structure that is situated in one of nature’s most beautiful settings. Harry Hudson was the chief architect while Shellburg & Lindquist, of Jamestown, N.Y., were the building contractors. Construction began on Aug. 16, 1927, on the site of the Frink Family Farm and a section of the Charles Anderson Family Farm. The original plan called for the Ad Building to be built just to the right of where McIntosh Cabin Trail is today. It was finished and ready to open in December of 1928, 16 months after the first shovel was dug into the ground. This three-story English Tudor style masterpiece measures 230 feet long and 48 feet wide. It was to have been 33 feet longer, but plans had to be modified due to a lack of
ASP Road Closings/Detours If you’re headed to Allegany State Park any time soon, please be aware of some rerouting due to road construction. The Quaker exit 18 off route I-86 overpass bridge has been closed since April 11. This closure is expected to be in effect for the next 6-8 weeks. The detour signs will direct traffic as follows:
•Eastbound I-86 on and off ramps to Route 280 will remain open. •I-86 westbound to Route 280 south (Quaker Area ASP Route 3) will detour to Steamburg (exit 17) and back onto I-86 eastbound. •Route 280 north to I-86 westbound will detour to Salamanca (exit 20) and back
onto I-86 westbound. •ASP Route 1 from Red House to Quaker will remain closed until the campground opening of May 17 due to safety concerns regarding the ongoing construction/upgrades project in the Red House campgrounds.
Nature’s Playground Cont. from Front Page
“It was a two-year process that started one size and just grew,” he said. Each cabin sleeps four persons and is heated so that visitors can stay year round, he added. Most of the work was done in-house with some outside contracting work utilized. Ultimately, however, New York’s largest state park is about tradition, and several annual programs, including the ASP Adventure Run and I Love My Park Day both this Saturday, Outdoor Girls Day on May 11, and National Trails Day on June 1, will return. There will also be summer-wide programs for children, including ranger and interpretive programs designed to teach skills and nature awareness and conservation. Upcoming events include the National Police Bloodhounds
Association and the National Audubon Society, two groups that make ASP their home away from home. Like many parks throughout the country, Allegany is no stranger to tightening its belt. Quattrone said funding levels for the park remain consistent. For its capital investments, which includes projects like Camp 5, funding has been good to excellent, Quattrone said. Approximately $7 million has been allocated at the state level for capital improvements for the 2013-2014 season. Projects besides Camp 5 for this year include new electrical service in the Red House and Cain Hollow campgrounds, as well as paving and a new washhouse at Cain Hollow. “It’s our operational funding that remains flat,” he said. Staffing levels remain the same as last year at about 71.
As for new programs, Quattrone is mum. He said that’s always a possibility, but for now there is nothing definitive. Those interested in checking out existing programs and features at the park should visit Allegany State Park on Facebook for more information.

limited and registrations are on a first-come basis. (AKC STAR Puppy classes may also be held depending on registration numbers.) Classes are held at 2401 North Union Street Extension, Route 16 in Olean (3/10 mile north of Route 86 on/off ramp on Route 16).

state funds. The amazing thing that I always love telling the people when I give my talks on the history of Allegany State Park is the total cost of construction to build this treasure. The total cost was only $142,019! Although, I am sure that was a lot of money back then, now that seems like the cost of an average house. On October 24, 1927, a copper box was placed within the Ad Building’s cornerstone. Placed inside the box were legislative bills relating to the formation of ASP, copies of Western New York newspapers, various books, pamphlets, photographs of the park and photos of the ASP Commissioners members, maps showing the park itself, as well as various Group Camps of Allegany and other articles of historic interest. From its opening in 1928, the Administration Building was heated by coal. In September 1968, it was converted to a gas heating system. To this day,
pieces of coal can still be found in the basement of the furnace room. On the main floor of the building, you will find the rental office, which takes care of the campers’ needs on checking in and checking out. At opposite ends of the main floor were, and still are, the natural history museum, the Red House Gift Shop and the Park Police Station. Early on, there were janitors’ living quarters on both the first and second floors of the building. This is now used as the NYS Park Police Station, both up and downstairs. The second floor housed the Red House Restaurant, which opened on Aug. 4, 1929, and is still open today. In 1944, two dormitories were created on the main floor, which were for seasonal used primarily by hunters and skiers until March of 1973. The museum and gift shop would have their exhibits and merchandise moved to the third
floor attic in November and bunk beds would be brought in to take their place. The women stayed where the museum was and the men stayed in the souvenir gift shop area. Starting in 1932, five hotel-style rooms were available for occupancy, with a sixth room being opened in the 1950s. These hotel-style rooms were rented by the night or by the week until the 1970 camping season. Today, these old hotel rooms house various administrative offices. The great beauty of the Ad Building was shared with a national audience when it was featured in the nationally popular Life magazine in an article entitled “Not England, But Allegany State Park.” Today’s visitors can still enjoy the same beauty including the gorgeous view from the Ad Building’s cozy sitting room with a large bay window and two fireplaces.
Law Enforcement Bloodhounds Train at Allegany State Park By Jesse Mast
In addition to all its usual wildlife, for a short time Allegany State Park will be visited by police bloodhounds, as the National Police Bloodhound Association holds its spring training seminar May 3–10. The National Police Bloodhound Association (NPBA) is an organization that provides information pertaining to the use of bloodhounds in law enforcement. The weeklong spring training seminar is an opportunity for law enforcement personnel to receive instruction and certification in using bloodhounds for police work. The event is hosted by the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office and has been held in Cattaraugus County for more than a decade. The seminar is open to law enforcement personnel who are members of the NPBA. In past years, the event has had participants from all over the country. According to the NPBA’s website, the event has been so successful that the seminar has had to be limited to 85 attendees. The seminar will consist of both classroom training and fieldwork, in which bloodhounds and their handlers will work through various scenarios they may encounter on the job. Bloodhounds are favored by police for their excellent

tracking ability, according to Officer Angela Alexander of the Murfreesboro Police Department in Tennessee, who is also the secretary of the NPBA. “A bloodhound is a single-purpose dog,” Alexander said. That purpose is following scent trails, and for that matter, bloodhounds serve this purpose very well. While other breeds, such as German shepherds, are used as patrol dogs, bloodhounds are especially adept at trailing missing persons and criminal suspects. As an example of the breed’s man-trailing abilities, Alexander said that if two suspects run out of a car, a bloodhound can identify one of the suspects’ scent from a car seat. Once the bloodhound knows the scent, it will follow the trail while ignoring all
other scents. Although the dog usually needs to stay close to a trail, if the wind conditions are right, it may pick up a strong scent from a considerable distance. And while it is best for a trail to be fresh, Alexander said a bloodhound may even follow a trail that is a few days old. According to its website, the NPBA began in 1962 as the Eastern Police Bloodhound Association, then in 1966 changed to its current name as increasing membership comprised a more widespread constituency. “We have close to 250 members,” said Alexander. The spring seminar at Allegany State Park is one of two seminars the NPBA holds annually, with the other seminar taking place during the winter in Greensboro, N.C.

Legal Matters: Our Bill of Rights
By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, Attorneys and Counselors of Law
Legal Matters is a regular column intended to address general legal concerns. Since every client walks in the door with a different set of circumstances, you should not rely on this column to provide specific legal advice. If you are in need of specific legal advice, please consult with an attorney; he or she will provide advice that is unique and tailored to your legal needs.
When two or more people purchase a piece of property together, they often have questions about how that will play out upon the death of one of them. In New York, multiple owners may take title in one of three ways: as tenants by the entirety, joint tenants or as tenants in common. Each tenancy carries its own benefits and consequences. Tenancies by the entirety are distinguishable in that they are permitted only between husband and wife. As tenants by the entirety, husband and wife both, and each, own the whole, undivided interest. As a result, upon the death of one, title to the property automatically transfers to the survivor. This is known as the “right of survivorship” or “last man standing” principle. This form of ownership is only terminated by death, divorce or annulment. Although each tenant may
sell, mortgage or otherwise encumber his or her rights in the property, the conveyance is subject to the right of survivorship of the tenant by the entirety. For example, a purchaser of an entirety interest may be left with no interest at all if the selling spouse dies first since the surviving spouse takes all. Similarly, a judgment creditor’s lien against a deceased tenant by the entirety is not a valid and enforceable lien against the estate of the surviving tenant after the survivor’s death. Joint tenants take title similarly to tenants by the entirety — the salient characteristic is the right of survivorship. The most common example of joint tenancy is when parents transfer ownership of property into the names of their children to keep it in the family. Upon the death of one child, his interest will automatically pass to his siblings instead of passing into his estate. If there are four children, for example, upon the death of one, the remaining three will have a 1/3 interest in the property and so on, until only one child remains with the entire interest. The downside to this is that the property will ultimately
end up in the hands of the last child’s estate; the beneficiaries of the other children will never benefit from that property interest. That leads us to tenants in common. Here, the greatest difference is the lack of “right of survivorship.” Unlike joint tenants, upon a co-owner’s death, her interest passes into her estate and will be distributed according to her will. Essentially, the estate is substituted as the owner of that interest instead of it passing to the other original owners; the interest of the remaining owners is unchanged. A tenancy in common protects the interests of the owner’s beneficiaries. There are pros and cons to taking with rights of survivorship; knowing the difference is beneficial in making the decision that best accomplishes the owners’ goals.

Participants are invited to stroll through the Business District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The show includes hundreds of pieces of artwork including traditional oil paintings, experimental mixed media, watercolors, wheat pastings, metalworking, pottery, quilting and more.

Simply Food By Liz Bares
Asparagus Soup In my opinion nothing says spring like asparagus. Those green heads shooting out of the black dirt is a welcome sign after the long cold winter. Spring vegetables taste so delicate and pure, just like the season itself. Asparagus is an
easy vegetable to cook — stir fry, grill, bake, steam — all in minutes, then add some salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon and you’re done. I’m going to share with you a decadent asparagus soup
recipe that would be delicious on a rainy spring day. You can freeze it, too.
Asparagus Soup 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 ½ cups chopped shallots (approx. 6 large shallots) ½ teaspoon dried thyme 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 pounds of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1” pieces Salt and pepper 1/3 cup heavy cream 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice In a large saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Then add the shallots and thyme and cook until shallots are soft, about 5 minutes — watch so they don’t burn. Add asparagus and six cups of water, season with a few pinches of salt. Cover, bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, keeping covered about 2-4 minutes. You want the asparagus to be BRIGHT green and just tender. Grab your blender, in about three batches puree the soup until smooth. You don’t want to puree all at once or you will have a giant mess on your hands. Make sure to take the little top out of your lid to let the steam escape the blender. If you are serving soup right away, then add your cream and lemon juice and season to taste. To freeze the soup, do not add the cream and lemon juice. Cool the soup completely and place in an airtight container. This soup will store up to two months. When ready to use, defrost then heat over low heat and slowly stir in cream and lemon juice.This keeps in the fridge for several days. I typically heat the sauce up before I put it on hot noodles. Just toss the noodles in the warm sauce, add some more parmesan and enjoy.

I’m easily confused so when I saw these two headlines – “Ice Lady buries ex-husband” and “Iron Lady buried” – I thought there must be some mistake. Estibaliz Carranza, Austria’s “Ice Lady” was recently given a life sentence for shooting her lover and ex-husband at close range, cutting up their corpses with a chainsaw, deep-freezing them and later burying them under an ice cream parlour which she owned. The court was told she had taken courses in both shooting and concrete mixing prior to the murders. Presumably the operation of a chainsaw came naturally to her. Margaret Thatcher, buried two weeks ago at the age of 87 would never have committed such atrocities. She wouldn’t have to. She could have cut both men into pieces with the sharpness of her tongue. “In politics, if you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.” Tough? Who’s the most hard-ass uncompromising male politician you can think of? Churchill, Reagan, de Gaulle? I doubt one of them could watch ten men starve themselves to death as Margaret Thatcher did. Ten IRA militants beginning with the charismatic Bobby Sands died on hunger strikes while Thatcher flatly refused to their demands to be treated as political prisoners. No connection between the ‘Ice Lady’ who hacked her husband and the Iron Lady, but a few years ago I was walking past the Savoy Hotel in Madeira when a double-decker tour bus pulled up. Margaret Thatcher loved swanky hotels so much she chose to die in one. The young Portuguese tour guide struggled a bit with her English when she pointed at the fivestar Savoy and said: “This of course is the place that British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher spent her honeymoon with her unfortunately dead husband.” I remember reading somewhere that Margaret’s husband Denis was not a real firecracker but being described as dead-on-arrival
at the wedding bed was a bit harsh. If true, it would have been one of the few times the bellhop carried the groom across the threshold on the wedding night. I doubt there is a Brit alive whose emotions reside in neutral zone when it comes to Maggie Thatcher. About 75% loved her for ruthlessly changing Britain’s economy and the old English ways and 25% hate her still for doing exactly the same thing. Graffiti on walls after her death like: “Iron Lady – Rust In Peace.” were not written by wellwishers. The twitter tag announcement of her death read: “#nowthatcherisdead.” Read it again. Yeah, Cher must have thought: “Oops, one too many tushy tucks!” Margaret Thatcher’s will stipulated that she be cremated but, as people in Northern England who live in areas still devastated by her closing of the mines were quick to point out: ‘We’ve got no coal!” The news videos of people dancing in the streets and burning the woman in effigy in Yorkshire and Northern Ireland were ghoulish, not unlike the clips of radical Muslims celebrating the collapse of New York City’s twin towers. While enjoying all the macabre merrymaking surrounding her death, one partygoer said: “It’s about time Thatcher did something to raise community spirit!” The depth of hostility still felt by certain sectors of Great Britain was matched only by the depravity of the jokes posted after her death. “When I realized Margaret Thatcher was dead, I did a fist pump and shouted: “------- brilliant! Everyone around me was disgusted, and looking back, I suppose I was out of order. Especially as I was the first paramedic at the scene.” Posted another: “I was very upset to hear about Mrs. Thatcher’s death. She died peacefully.” Thatcher’s death gave
By William Thomas
former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney a few more minutes of media attention. Both contemporaries, staunch right wingers and fervent free marketers, they differed in that the Iron Lady’s career was never dogged by scandal or shame. Although Thatcher was only too pleased to watch corporations rule her country’s economy, she never asked for her cut. To say Margaret Thatcher never suffered fools gladly is wrong. If it didn’t seem such an abuse of power, she’d have had them put in jail. “The Iron Lady” could never be accused of being magnanimous – if she wanted your opinion she’d write it down for you. Glaring out at fellow conservatives who wanted her to ease up on her ruthless economic policies, from the podium she told them that when she retired she was going to start a business and it would be called “Rent-A-Spine.” Which is why my fondest memory of Margaret Thatcher will always be the one provided by the cruel but hilarious television show Spitting Images. The comedy troupe used exaggerated, ghoulish-looking puppets of British politicians in their sketches and Thatcher was the best and most frequent target. The scene is in a restaurant with Thatcher sitting around a dining table with her mostly male cabinet. Waitress: “What’ll it be Lady Thatcher?” Thatcher: “I’ll have a steak.” Waitress: “How would you like it?” Thatcher: “Raw.” Waitress: “And the vegetables?” Thatcher, after looking around the table says: “Oh, they’ll have what I’m having.” In all great humour, the punch line is never far from the truth.

Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
“Fly Away” by Kristen Hannah T Tully Hart has always been larger than life, a woman fueled by big dreams and driven by memories of a painful past. She thinks she can dre overcome anything until her best friend, Kate Ryan, dies. Tully tries to ove fulfi ful ll her deathbed promise to Kate---to be there for Kate’s children--but bu Tully knows nothing about family or motherhood or taking care of people. pe Sixteen-year-old Marah Ryan is devastated by her mother’s death. Her father, Johnny, strives to hold the family together, but even with his best fa efforts, Marah becomes unreachable in her grief. Nothing and no one ef seems to matter to her . . . until she falls in love with a young man who se makes her smile again and leads her into his dangerous, shadowy world. m Dorothy Hart---the woman who once called herself Cloud---is at the center of Tully’s tragic past. She repeatedly abandoned her daughter, c Tully, as a child, but now she comes back, drawn to her daughter’s side T at a a time when Tully is most alone. At long last, Dorothy must face her darkest fear: Only by revealing the ugly secrets of her past can she hope d to become the mother her daughter needs. A single, tragic choice and a middle-of-the-night phone call will bring these women together and set them on a poignant, powerful journey of redemption. Each has lost her way, and they will need each other--and maybe a miracle---to transform their lives. An emotionally complex, heart-wrenching novel about love, motherhood, loss, and new beginnings, Fly Away reminds us that where there is life, there is hope, and where there is love, there is forgiveness. Told with her trademark powerful storytelling and illuminating prose, Kristin Hannah reveals why she is one of the most beloved writers of our day. This book can be borrowed from the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book form. Other formats such as eBook, large print and audio book may be available in the next few months using our interlibrary loan program.
Relay for Life Cont. from Front Page
The American Cancer Society puts these donations to work, investing in groundbreaking research in every type of cancer and providing free information and services to cancer patients and their caregivers. The Cattaraugus County event begins at noon on Saturday, June 1, and keeps going until midnight. Teams, families and spectators set up “camp” around the track for the entire event. Throughout the day and into the night, members of each team take turns walking or running around the track until they collectively complete the 9.6 mile course. This year, organizers are building a carnival theme around the event, with carnivalstyle games to keep participants of all ages entertained. There will be a great chicken BBQ dinner available ($8 includes 1/2 chicken, three sides and a bottled water). In addition, Jacob North, AKA “DJ Excite,” will be on hand all
day long providing music, and there will be a live band (to be announced) playing from 4–6 p.m. Because this is a team event, individual team members don’t have to be there the entire time, but most stick around for all the fun and family-friendly activities and camaraderie. Perhaps the most important event of the day is the Honorary Survivor Speech and Opening Ceremony at noon, followed by the Survivor’s Lap at approximately 12:20 p.m. During the Survivors Lap, all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the track, celebrating their victory over cancer. Relay for Life events also recognize and celebrate caregivers, who give their time, love, and support to friends, family, neighbors and coworkers facing cancer Get Involved Teams, volunteers and sponsors are still needed in order to meet this year’s challenging fundraising goal.
If you are interested in forming a team, joining an existing team, walking the Survivor Lap or donating to the cause, simply visit “Relay for Life of Cattaraugus County” at www. relayforlife.org, where you’ll find everything you need to know. Sponsors also are critically needed. To date, Coffee Culture has signed on as a Gold Sponsor and Great Valley Fire Department is an official Bronze Sponsor. If your business, organization or employer would like to sponsor the Relay for Life of Cattaraugus County, please contact Crystal Page at crystal. page@cancer.org or call (716) 341-4566. The next team meeting for Relay for Life of Cattaraugus County will be held on Wednesday, May 13 at 5 p.m. in the old board room of the Ellicottville Central School (lower level, Elementary side).
Relay for Life Kentucky Derby Party On Saturday, May 4, the Holiday Valley Helpers Relay for Life team is hosting a Kentucky Derby Party at The Barn Restaurant in Ellicottville from 4–7 p.m. Team Captain Priscilla Snider said the team has organized a 50/50 raffle, a hat contest, door prizes, complimentary snacks and other fun surprises. The Barn is offering a variety of meal and beverage specials for purchase, as well. The $5 “entry fee” is a tax-deductible donation to the American Cancer Society.

RARE TIGER BEETLES, SAND DARTERS AND OLD-GROWN TREES ABUNDANT AT DEER LICK NATURE SANCTUARY
BY JEFF MARTIN
After having ridden the g reat roiling spine of the Cattaraugus Creek during a recent whitewater rafting trip, it was time to step back and enjoy its more peaceful offerings. I’m referring, of course, to the Deer Lick Nature Sanctuary, a 398-acre forest off Point Peter Road in Gowanda. This little-known area is known for its old-g rowth forest patches, sunny meadows, overlooks, deep gorges and streams, specif ically Deer Lick Creek, which cuts a miniature gorge you can access by foot before it banks sharp right and plunges about 200 feet into Cattaraugus Creek below. Like many of sights I discovered when I f irst moved to the area last summer, Deer Lick represented for me a stark change to what I had been used to for the past f ive years. Surrounded by roiling prairie and stunted limestone outcroppings for f ive years, Deer Lick was the antithesis of all that I was accustomed to geog raphically. Parking my car in a small parking lot off Point Peter Road, located a quarter of a mile down from where Forty Road juts off Point Peter Road to the parking area for the gorge, Deer Lick was soon to become my off-Broadway play, my exhale, my opposite of the intense experience of Zoar Valley. It was time to rest and listen. Because of the dangers inherent in the sanctuary, all visitors are asked to sig n in at a small wooden box at the start of the main trail, which leads to about four other trails that branch off into different ecosystems. My f irst time out (and after having failed to notice the small wooden box!), I hiked the yellow trail, which delivered my slow steps into what many scientists and naturalists claim is some of the most impressive old-g rowth trees in Western New York. Naturalists describe the sanctuary as a mix of beech-maple-hemlock ecolog y, some specimens reaching heights of 140 feet. It’s an ancient land. Roots twist from the mossy g round like mammoth licorice vines. The canopy above blocks out the sun in several locations, dulling the light, creating an almost dome-like setting that stif les the wind. Along the yellow path, my journey was interrupted by Deer Lick Creek. From what I know now about people hiking there, most hikers just skip across and continue on their way. Last summer I followed the creek, traced my f ingertips along the shale walls and sat beside pools of water. Rare tiger beetles and sand darters are abundant in the sanctuary, and I most likely glimpsed a few, though the sig nif icance was lost on me then. Along the creek bank, I found the trail again and walked to the gorge overlook. Doubling back, I followed a small trail down a steep slope, a mistake I’ll never make again. On either side of me were slopes nearly vertical. I arrived at the top after about two hours and kept to the safe path, keeping the remainder of my afternoon conservative and in blessed harmony with the stillness of the forest. Desig nated as a National Natural Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1967, the sanctuary is a perfect example of the many small miracles that surround us each day without our noticing them. Of course, there are those who know and appreciate such places, but the wide majority is unaware of such Eden places, and it’s up to people like me to spread the word. In the end, my f irst trip into the sanctuary took a little over f ive hours — and that was but one path. I would come to the sanctuary a total of eight more times before winter claimed its hold. Now that the trees are budding and the snow is but a memory, I think it’s time to get back to this miraculous place, a place that Chinese poets most likely would claim is a perfect place to go look at nothing so as to see everything.

ECS Sports Central
Tough Week for ECS Varsity Baseball with Two Close Contests On April 24, the varsity Eagles boys’ baseball team put up a good fight against West Valley Central School, but lost 8-7 despite the efforts of Alex Steinbroner and Phalla Musall, who did all they could to give the Eagles a boost. But it wasn’t enough to get past West Valley in a weather-shortened five innings. Steinbroner and Musall each reached base three times. Both were walked twice and hit by pitch. ECS freshman starters Robert Sawicki, Tom Easton and Alex Fisher each drove in a run for Ellicottville. Another defeat hit the Eagles hard on April 26 as they battled Randolph Central with a final score of 15-5, despite a big day at the dish from
Robert Sawicki, who finished 4-4. Three of the team’s runs were scored thanks to timely hitting by Sawicki. He singled in the first, third, fifth, and sixth innings. Sawicki, Tyler Slaughenhaupt, Tom Easton and Calum Watt made their presence known, but it wasn’t enough to take Randolph. On April 29, the Eagles brought their A game against Sherman Central, but they fell behind in the sixth inning ending with a 5-4 loss. The Eagles jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second. A double by Musall, plating Slaughenhaupt started the inning off. Sawicki was had a hot bat, going 4-5 and scoring two runs. He doubled
in the sixth inning and singled in the first, fourth, and seventh innings. Alex Fisher pitched a three hitter with 10 strikeouts in the loss for Ellicottville. Golf Team 3-1 in League Play On April 25, the ECs Golf Team defeated Portville 28.5– 26.5, and lost to Randolph 18.5–36.5 and Maple Grove 15.5–39.5. Medalist for Ellicottville was Cameron Eddy with a 45. Medalist for the match was Nolan Ditcher with a 37. Coach Dan LaCroix said, “It was very difficult playing conditions ... cold and rainy.” The team’s record is now 3-1 league, 4-3 overall.

Works on Wood to Benefit Arts Programs in the Park
Allegany NY — The Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) announces Works on Wood, a collaborative fundraiser between CCAC and Allegany State Park in which artists will transform camp signs, picnic baskets, camp stools or walking sticks into works of art. These items can be easily crafted or obtained, or even found at garage sales, estate sales, antique stores and in your own attic. All items will be on display over the summer at Allegany State Park and will be auctioned at the Full Moon
Family Beach Party on August 9, which features live music, face painting, fireworks and more. Proceeds will support free arts programming at the park during the summer months for campers and regional residents. Artists interested in transforming a camp sign, picnic basket, campstool or walking stick into a work of art should register with Heidi or Cassie at Allegany State Park by calling (716) 354-9101 by May 7. All finished pieces must be delivered no later than June 7 to the park.
Works on Wood marks the third artistic fundraiser in recent years. In 2009, Adirondack chairs were built and transformed into works of art. The auction in 2011 featured birdhouses. Anne Conroy-Baiter, executive director of CCAC, said that the auctions are a wonderful way to celebrate the arts and nature. “The themes of these collaborative projects with Allegany State park have played on the transformative power of both art and nature. We hold the auctions at the Full Moon Family Beach Party, one of the most familyfriendly evenings this region offers, and all monies raised go to support very well attended and appreciated art classes in the park every summer,” she explained. The Cattaraugus County Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that has served the greater Cattaraugus County region for more than 15 years with quality arts programs and services. For more information on CCAC or on other classes and workshops, please visit www.myartscouncil.net.
Salamanca to Celebrate City’s Centennial One hundred years after the city of Salamanca was officially incorporated on May 14, 1913, the city plans to celebrate the occasion with a collection of centennial-themed events.

Spring Turkey Season Opened May 1 The 2013 spring turkey season opened May 1 in all of upstate New York. Here are a few important details to remember during the season, which ends May 31. Hunting is permitted in most areas of the state, except for New York City and Long Island. Hunters must have a turkey hunting permit in addition to their small game hunting or sportsman license. Shooting hours are from one-half hour before sunrise to noon each day. Hunters may take two bearded turkeys during the spring season, but only one bird per day. Hunters may not use rifles or handguns firing a bullet. Hunters may hunt with a shotgun or handgun loaded with shot sizes no larger than
No. 2 or smaller than No. 8, or with a bow and arrow. Successful hunters must fill out the tag that comes with their turkey permit and immediately attach it to any turkey harvested. Successful hunters must report their harvest within seven days of taking a bird. Call 1-866-426-3778 (1-866 GAMERPT) or report harvest online at http://www.dec. ny.gov/outdoor/8316.html. For more information about turkey hunting in New York, see the 2012-13 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide or visit the “Turkey Hunting” pages of the DEC website at http://www.dec. ny.gov/outdoor/8366.html. An analysis of the 2012 spring turkey take, including a county-by-county breakdown, can be found on the DEC
website at http://www.dec. ny.gov/outdoor/30420.html. New York has an extremely safety-conscious generation of hunters, largely due to the annual efforts of more than 3,000 dedicated volunteer Sportsman Education instructors. Even one incident is too many, so be sure to follow the cardinal rules of hunting safety: (1) assume every gun is loaded; (2) control the muzzle; (3) keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot; (4) be absolutely sure of your target and what may be beyond it; and (5) don’t stalk! Set up with your back against a large tree and call birds to you. To find a sportsman education class in your area, go to http://www. dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9191.html or call 1-888-HUNT-ED2 (1888-486-8332).
Zumbathon Cont. from Front Page
follow dance steps. Even if you don’t know all the steps, you’ll get a great workout just dancing to the beat while you learn the routines. “You can go at your own pace,” said Watt, who leads Zumba classes every Tuesday and Thursday evening at the Ellicottville gym. “People can’t resist moving to the music,” she added, which often includes African, Indian and other international genres. The event, featuring instructors Denise Eck, Kim Watt, Angela Delahunt, Elisa Tejera, Shelley Greene, Jennifer Addotta and the Y’s event organizer Mark Johnson, begins with Zumba classes in the gym from 12:30-2:45 p.m. Participants can dance for as long or as little as they like during this period and are encouraged to take breaks whenever needed. From 3-3:30 p.m., Johnson will lead an Aqua-Zumba pool party, where participants can get a great dance workout in the cool and refreshing pool.
Aqua-Zumba is especially beneficial for people who want to take it easy on their joints. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit!
Sunday May 4 12:30 p.m. Olean YMCA According to the Olean YMCA Branch Executive Director Rachel Linderman, last year’s event attracted nearly 140 people and this year she expects an even larger crowd. Linderman said, “Given that it’s also Cinco de Mayo on Sunday, why not celebrate by dancing and exercising to some great Latin music!” Proceeds from ticket sales to the event support the YMCA’s Strong Kids Campaign, a national fundraising program that is designed to ensure that “no one is turned away from YMCA programs and services due only to the inability to pay.” The campaign gives members and friends of the Y
an opportunity to help others and give back to the community through volunteerism and financial contributions. Across the country, a full 25 percent of YMCA members receive some form of financial assistance, Linderman said. The fundraising campaign makes it possible for anyone to take advantage of the many camping, aquatic, sports, wellness and other vital programs and services provided by the non-profit organization. It also supports the all-important teen programs provided by the YMCA that gives middle and high school students a safe and healthy place to go for after-school activities. Tickets for the Zumbathon are just $10 and $5 for the Aqua-Zumba pool party. Plus, there will be raffles for at least 10 fabulous gift baskets — including a Zumbalovers basket. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door. For more information, visit www.oleanymca.org or call (716) 373-2400.

Faith & Spirituality Today Jesus said,”Come to me all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is esy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30) We can grow world-weary, particularly in light of current events, as well as the burdens we carry within our own hearts. Jesus invites us to himself. We were not meant to “go it alone”. We are living vessels meant to carry something greater than ourselves. That “something” is the life of God.
Saturday evenings we gather to consider and discuss the “Life of Christ”. No matter what your beliefs are, or what your experiences have been regarding faith and the spiritual life, we invite you to join us.
Meetings are held at: THE REYNOLDS HOUSE 52 Jefferson St., Ellicottville Beginning at 7 p.m. Hosted by Will & Lois Lowry

From the Back Porch
But Wait, There’s More! By Sue Whistler
Recently, I’ve noticed that the older I get the bigger and better my life’s milestones become. I’ve also noticed that these milestones have less and less to do with me and much more to do with the people I love. As I start reeling in the years, I’m beginning to suspect that I’m being haunted by the ghost of pitchman Billy Mays from those old “blue ads” on TV. I keep hearing his voice in the background whispering, “But wait, there’s more!” Don’t get me wrong. I have nothing against Billy. I actually like his message, but I’d rather that his voice be relegated to late night reruns instead of the back of my head. I can remember when I thought that my high school and college graduations were a pretty big deal. Then I was convinced that nothing could surpass my wedding day — until our children came along and I couldn’t imagine anything that could top the day that each of them was born. I recall the tremendous pride I felt at their college graduations and thinking that we had finally fulfilled our parental role. Then their wedding days arrived and with them the
joy of welcoming wonderful new members into our family. Surely, my life was now complete even as I resigned myself to quietly stepping back and letting their day-to-day trials and triumphs recede from the forefront of my life as they moved ahead with theirs. Boy was I wrong! Last week I found myself sitting in the birthing suite with our oldest daughter and her husband awaiting the arrival of our first grandchild. Their invitation to be present at his birth is the greatest gift I have ever received. In all my maternal musings over the past 30 years, I could never have imagined that day. There are some moments that are so exquisite, so poignant that they defy description; and I was about to witness the greatest of them all. How do you capture the wind on the water? How do you count all the stars in the sky? How can you measure the love of a mother? Or how can you write down a baby’s first cry? “Candlelight Carol” – John Rutter Silly, but as I stood there watching our daughter laboring with her first child, I just
couldn’t get that Christmas carol out of my head. I kept thinking there was nothing that old Billy could possibly have to offer me after this. And then I heard him again. “But wait, there’s more!” It seemed that Billy’s ghost still had a few surprises up his sleeve. Even as I watched our grandson’s arrival, I was still not prepared for the moment when our daughter placed him in my arms or when I watched my husband, the new grandpa cradling him for the first time. I know now that the voice in the back of my head wasn’t Billy Mays. Our 25-year-old son recently remarked to his older sisters that he thinks his parents are having more fun than he is. I hadn’t really thought about it before, but he just might have something there. He’s two years into his first real job out of college, student loan paybacks are a … well you know … and he’s working his tush off. But then again, he’s 25 and single. How bad can it be? Maybe the next time he hits a rough patch I’ll tell him to channel Billy. Just wait, there’s so much more.

locations. Just look for large lawn signs with the RTA logo marking artist locations and sponsor sites. Customize your driving route to correspond with the type of work you want to see — you’ll be amazed at the quality and variety of artists in the region. Look or buy — there’s never any pressure. Artist Eileen Weishan has enjoyed and been involved in art her whole life. To her, creating is a relaxing stress reliever. Weishan has always enjoyed sewing clothes and the details that go into embellishing accessories including stunning scarves and small purses. “Using the textile pattern and texture, I create purses and scarves embellished with small seed beads that add design, fringe and sparkle,” explained Weishan. “I love the feel and ‘hand’ of various types of textiles.” Iroquois artist Michael Jones finds joy in the process of creating art, whether it is in clay, music or drawing. He said, “Nature is my wellspring from which I draw my inspiration.” Newcomer Charlene Kickbush’s inspiration comes from a deep, lifelong appreciation of nature with an innate sense of science, heart and spirit. She uses natural paper and gourds to create her original art. “I use a variety of gourds including those I’ve raised from seed. Once dried and cleaned, each gourd has its own ‘voice’ and the process begins. All are decorative, many are functional, and all, one of a kind,” explained Kickbush, who also incorporates the gourd pulp into handmade paper fiber she uses as signature pages in
her handmade books. Photography is also richly represented in this year’s RTA tour. “I love to find the soul of an object or in nature and reveal it unexpectedly with up-close and personal photographs,” said Jennifer Bennett Karns, whose subject matter includes nature, architectural elements and landscapes. Karns, who recently had her own solo show at the Ellicottville Memorial Library, said it has taken her a long time to believe in herself enough to put herself out there. “I just hope to have fun with this first (RTA) experience,” she said. Multimedia artist Ellen Paquette’s creations bring a new twist to RTA. She has been handcrafting dolls, puppets and plush creatures since childhood. She also expresses her creativity in two-dimensional paintings blending her love of animals and Renaissance art. This year’s RTA will be pen and ink artist Laurie Chamberlain Andrews’ first public arts experience. Her detailed and photo-like images of Americana, like a kids’ football game, a tribute to the military or a piece of nature, reflect her inspiration. Last but not least, jewelry artist Elizabeth Jankowski
fashions elegant jewelry with a pop culture twist out of found materials, creating beauty out of the mundane. “I love the uniqueness of Steampunk jewelry, which draws inspiration from the Victorian and industrial ages. In other words, I transform old watches, skeleton keys, clocks and music boxes into wearable pieces of art by taking them apart and putting them back together in beautiful forms,” she explained. “I am looking forward to Routes to Art as a chance to share my jewelry with the community and to meet people who appreciate art in all of its forms.” Visitors can easily plan their driving routes by picking up our full-color brochure containing a detailed road map with insets showing artist locations, as well as thumbnail sketches and information about each artist on the flipside. RTA is free to everyone who is ready for a rich and rewarding experience. Just fill up your gas tank and plan your route. And be sure to bring your checkbook, a little extra cash or your credit card, because you’re guaranteed to find something much too special to leave behind.
