This oft-repeated statement is from an old African proverb – “It takes a village to raise a child.” In its simplest terms, the proverb’s main point is it takes
more than parents to raise a child; friends, pastors, relatives, teachers, and many others in the community play vital roles in a child’s development. When I think of the village we live in, the analogy grows in scope. It takes more than the mayor, the peace officers, the village board, the Chamber of Commerce, the merchants, and the local opinion leaders to ensure the steady growth we see each season in Ellicottville is “good” growth. All of us play a vital role in nurturing our expansion and maintaining responsible development. We all witness the ongoing evolution of our small village, growing in popularity as a “hot” tourist destination. The tough part is ensuring the “small town feel” we all love remains intact. It’s a delicate balancing act, to be sure. Fortunately, there’s a long
history of this community pulling together to help not just each other, but also those who make this place their favored seasonal destination. As our population swells and then shrinks, we all roll up our sleeves to make sure our identity remains the same. Some understand this so well they personally take it upon themselves to help with the cause of the hour. On the anniversary of his passing, one must fondly remember such an individual – Mr. Mike Kerns. Guys like this only come our way once in a great while. So, dear readers, by all means – please support the community leaders who do their level best, with what little resources they have, to make the village a home – both for us and for those who visit. Help them whenever and however you can. Until next week … Jeanine Zimmer

For many weeks there have been public meetings regarding the redevelopment of the saw mill property that has always listed their address as 11-13 Elizabeth St. Since our family has owned property on Elizabeth St. for many years and borders the saw mill property, I took the time to travel midweek to Ellicottville to attend the Planning Board meeting on May 8th. Before I do this again I will make sure to review the “rules of order” used by the Planning Board. The meeting was well attended by neighbors of the saw mill property who were interested in the proposal for part of the redevelopment to include a bowling alley!! That issue had already been decided since a “special use” or “secondary business” zone had already been approved. Neighbors were concerned about noise, light pollution, increased traffic and the specific types of further business development (the bowling alley will only take up 25% of the space). When I questioned the issue of changing the entrance/egress (moving the driveway) from Elizabeth St. to Filmore Dr. I was told by the chairwoman that I was speaking about the issue at the wrong time and that site plan issues would be discussed later. Well, either thru my ignorance or the Boards desire to have NO conversation about moving the drive, public discussion on the site plan was closed. The Board later voted and approved the site plan with the drive being moved from Elizabeth St to Filmore Dr. Since that meeting I have learned that the Department of Public Works for the Village and the local police did NOT approve of the movement of the drive to Filmore St. The street is only 17’ wide and neither the street or the intersection of Filmore and 219 is wide enough to handle the increased traffic. The developer will be burdened with additional cost and drainage issues with the construction of the new drive that will also create an awkward parcel possibly hampering future residential development. Most interesting is one of the voting board members has property located immediately next to the existing drive on Elizabeth St. To my knowledge he did not rescues himself from voting and it would seem reasonable to assume his property value would increase with the movement of the driveway. While the Village Planner and the Village Attorney did not view this as a conflict of interest, it could certainly raise an ethical question. I guess that’s three strikes and I’m the “turkey”!!!!

who shared the common love of singing choral music and wanted to share their interest and talents with others. The membership of the Keynote Chorus is a diverse collection of men and women of all ages and from all walks of life. The Chorus currently averages around 75 active, committed members. Under the direction of Norene Ferris, the chorus meets weekly at the Portville Central School and welcomes new members to join them. In 1999 the Keynote Chorus toured England, Scotland and
Wales. Besides having two performances a year at the Portville High School, the choral group is available to assist churches, schools, community, and service organizations around the southern tier in fund-raising projects. The keynote Chorus is funded by private donations and in part by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Regrant Program administered by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council.

Trap Shooting is a major form of competitive clay pigeon shooting. The sport is in some ways a replacement for a game where the targets were actual live pigeons. Trap shooting has been around since the 1790’s, when it used real birds, usually passenger pigeons which were extremely abundant at the time. Fake birds were introduced in the 1860’s and were replaced by clay targets in the 1880’s. The most infamous female sharpshooter in history was undoubtedly Annie Oakley, born in Ohio in 1860. She originally began sharpshooting to help her family financially and joined Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in 1885. She was able to shoot the end off of her husband’s cigarette and even performed for such royals as Queen Victoria and Kraiser
Ladies Trap ShootingSponsored by Ellicottville Sportsmen’s Club on May 20, 2012 @ 2pm
Wilhelm II. The Ellicottville Sportsmen’s Club was founded in the early 60’s. Founding members include Keno Babcock of Great Valley, Dewayne “Red” Butler (Great Valley), Bud Knapp (Ellicottville), Dick Nilks (Ellicottville) and John Whitmer (Ellicottville), et al. Club meetings were held at Bernie’s Barber Shop and the Barn on Monroe Street in town and they shot in an old gravel pit near Holimont. In June of 1965, the Club filed for incorporation at the Cattaraugus County Courthouse. The Registration Papers reveal that Kenneth Hintz, George Knapp, Howard Marsh, Carol Noelck and Richard Noelck all attested to being US citizens and legal residents of NY State. In 1972, the Club purchased 11
acres of land off Route 242 from John Widger and the actual clubhouse was built by students of BOCES across the road. Membership is currently around 150 men and women, with leagues and tournaments year-round. For the Ladies Shoot on May 20th, no experience is required. All levels are welcome. Shotguns and Ear Protection will be provided. The cost is $2 per person for 5 birds and shells or $8 for a full round of 25. Food and beverage will be available. For additional information, call Barbara at 716-983-4537 or Linda at 301-602-9082. The Event will be held rain or shine. So ladies come on out, bring your husband to watch, and give trap shooting a shot!...if you’ll pardon the pun.

Ordinarily in this space we highlight a specific house for sale, but this week we are going to feature a new and creative building style that turns the old concept of home building on its ear. In 1988 George Klemens built his first Timberbuilt style home. He fashioned massive cross beams to support the roof and upper floors to give the home a ski lodge feeling. Ten years later he was building four to five homes a year until he met up with his next client, Brian Kempisty and his wife Dawn. Their home was built on a hillside overlooking Ellicottville, and Brian was so impressed by his new digs that he joined the company. Although Brian is not a builder, he brought his marketing and computer skills to the company. With computer generated plans and renderings Timberbuilt is now able to give clients a choice of 15 -18 Signature Plans to chose from. Some are as small as 850 square feet, and some plans go up to 2,500 square feet and more. Furthermore,
customers can use bump-outs to add an extra room or rooms to their house. By the time a couple of bump-outs are included and a basement and second story added to expand the structure vertically, you can have a lot of living space in fairly small footprint. Their plans are completely flexible, Brian might suggest moving the mater bedroom to the East side of the house to accommodate a morning person. An owner might want just the shell of the home built so they can finish and decorate it themselves. Or, they can line up the contractor, supervise construction, and even paint, furnish, and accessorize the interior to create a complete turn-key experience. As Brian explains, “We’re trying to give our clients a bit more of an edge.” Dawns interior design company is available if the client desires. You don’t get that kind of comprehensive service with many other contractors What sets Timberbuilt home apart from the rest of the average builders are the materials and techniques used in construction. Increased energy efficiency is provided by using SIP
(Structural Insulating Panels), instead of standard 2x4s and wall board. The panels are fashioned at the factory with the doors and windows pre-cut. Thicker SIP boards are used in the roof to provide further insulation. The homes make extensive use of reclaimed materials, mostly obtained from old barns and factories. The character of the timbers is brought out through refinishing, and when assembled create interiors of remarkable beauty. The beams are assembled with hand crafted mortise and tenon joints, allowing them nail free construction. This combination of techniques results in homes so energy efficient they earn a US government energy star rating. Owners of the homes have reported dramatic energy savings. You couldn’t ask for much more in new home construction; a handsome energy efficient home, and the knowledge that you are doing something good for the planet. For more information about Timberbuilt homes contact Am DeTine at ERA Team VP & HoliMont Realty ERA 716-583-3769

One of this summer’s highly anticipated acts is Buffalo band The Visitors, with Maria Sebastian. Featuring a set list that has something for everyone – from Neil Young to Coldplay and Lucinda Williams to The Cranberries – this four-piece cover band plays to packed audiences across Western New York. About three years ago, Maria Sebastian and Jerry Augustyniak (drummer for 10,000 Maniacs) started the band. Due to the changing nature of most bands, they named the band The Visitors – a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that bands don’t often stick together for
long. In addition to Maria and Jerry, band members included guitarist and singer Zak Ward (who has his own original band Son of the Sun) and bassist Rick Ryan (who has played with many classic Buffalo bands, including Weekend). Over the years, schedule conflicts and logistical issues have given credence to the band’s name, with various artists subbing from time to time. From Buffalo’s West Side, Maria – who sings lead vocals and plays rhythm guitar – has a schedule just as busy as anyone else’s. After touring with 10,000 Maniacs as a backup singer last year, she has decided to stay local this year, allowing for more shows in the area – including Ellicottville’s Gazebo concert. In addition to Zak Ward (a native of Niagara Falls) and Rick Ryan (from Tonawanda), the current lineup includes Rick’s twin brother Tom Ryan on drums. The Visitors gives this group of four talented and accomplished musicians – and friends – the opportunity to play the music they love together and share it with others. Mark your calendars now – you won’t want to miss the chance to catch this free live performance at the Village Gazebo on Thursday, August 2 at 7:00 p.m. For more information about the Gazebo series, visit http://www.ellicottvilleny.com/gazebo-series/.

We all have our little rituals that we follow in the morning. That precious time to ourselves after waking and before the shower. Studies have shown that our morning routines are the most unshakable of all our routines. I just made that up but I’m guessing it’s true, at least for me. Any disruption to these little rituals tend to throw my whole day off. Well, my day has been thrown off. Here’s my “before the shower ritual.” Wake. Fix coffee. Feed the cats. Check the 24/7 news channels for the days headlines. Watch Sports Center. The disruption of my schedule has thrown me for a loop. The blame rests squarely on the hefty shoulders of CNN, MSNBC and, of course, FOX News. The problem, as I see it, is that none of these channels are actual “news” channels anymore. Trying to squeeze the days headlines out of the networks is like trying to get blood from a stone. Lets start with poor CNN. The Granddaddy of the all the twenty-four hour news networks. CNN’s fall from grace has not
been pretty. This has always been the place to go for news junkies like myself. Straight news right down the center. No fluff. No messing around. That all ended when Ted Turner sold CNN to AOL/Time Warner. Since then CNN has been a network struggling to find an identity. Everything about CNN has become an embarrassment. From their revolving door morning show hosts to prime time scandal rag host Piers Morgan. Watching CNN’s “anchors” feign indignity over the latest Kardashian scandal is just another example of what has become of an institution once known as “The Fourth Estate.” Anderson Cooper struggles mightily to hold on but even Anderson is prone to occasional on-air giggle fits. MSNBC? As a Liberal, I should love MSNBC. Morning Joe is, by far, the best and most informative of all the morning shows. After that, however, MSNBC has become obsessed by countering the Conservative viewpoints of FOX. In doing so the headlines have become lost in a mish-mash of partisan bickering. Yes, I’m a Liberal, but I don’t need to be constantly reminded of my own beliefs. I just want the news for Gods sake. Is that to much to ask. I don’t need Ed Shultz to spend an hour telling me that Sean Hannity is a giant boob. I already know that. Speaking of Sean Hannity. The good folks at FOX don’t even pretend to be “fair and balanced” anymore. Their attack dog mentality and almost rabid hatred of everything “Obama” has become farcical. I keep
waiting for stories on what the ghost of Ronald Reagan did last night and how he’s going to save the country again. The “FOX and Friends” morning show is one of my favorite examples of how hard it must be to work for a news network that obviously doesn’t employ Fact Checkers and Glen Becks replacement gaggle of Pit Bulls known ominously as The Five is down right terrifying. As an example of how far right FOX has drifted, last week Shepard Smith spoke out in favor of Obama’s stance on Gay marriage and Smith’s opinion became a headline on other networks. Oh FOX. What would I do without you? So back to my morning routine. Now I have to drink my morning coffee and go straight to Sports Center. That is unless it’s football season. Then ESPN becomes the Tim Tebow network and Sports Center is out too. So now everything has been moved back an hour so I can take my shower earlier and head down to the store to buy a paper. So where has the actual news gone? If your lucky and your cable company carries BBC America you might be able to catch the headlines there. For the most part, however, we are now a nation that has no use for other peoples problems. Our obsession with celebrity gossip and our overall distaste for knowledge has all but killed the news industry. We’re forced to go digging online for anything resembling non-partisan bickering and actual information and even that cant always be trusted. Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave.

The Planning Board decided to table the company’s request for possible action at their next meeting, on June 11th. Planning Board Chairman Frank DiFiore said the board is not necessarily obligated to grant a one-year extension, and that the length of time is up to the Planning Board. One of the subjects to come up during the May 14th meeting involved roads to be used by the wind company to gain access to the wind farm sites. Allegany Wind executive Kevin Sheen said that Chipmonk Road will not be used. Residents who live
along the road have long been concerned about truck traffic during wind farm construction. The company still has four or five possible routes, but apparently nothing final has been decided. Sheen indicated that the preferred plan is to use two different routes—one to bring in large wind turbine components, the other for trucking in sand, gravel, and other building materials. Sheen also said his company would like to reach a road use agreement with the Town of Carrollton, noting that such an agreement is not now in place. Residents and town officials in Carrollton have said frequently that they are unhappy with their roads and culverts being considered for heavy truck traffic generated by wind farm construction, since they were not built to handle the weight. Because of legal action brought against the wind farm project by Concerned Citizens of Cattaraugus County, Allegany Wind LLC says they cannot
proceed with the necessary financing to proceed with construction. That’s according to environmental attorney James Muscato, who is representing the company. Litigation against the Allegany wind project remains “active,” according to Barry Miller of the Concerned Citizens group. Miller also said he’s concerned about the company changing to a larger, 117 meter rotor for the wind turbines, as opposed to using a 100 meter rotor. Sheen once again stated that the failure of Congress to extend a production tax credit would doom all construction of new wind turbines in the U-S. Sheen does not expect to see approval before the November election, which is what he told the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency last month. Sheen also cited the price of natural gas as a concern to his company. He said those are the “bigger issues” at this point when compared with litigation against the wind project.
He recovered a dog that had been running loose and took the dog to the SPCA and the owner recovered. There were no parking tickets issued during April, but $300 in previously issued tickets had been paid. Mr. Gifford then brought up a subject that was not in his report. The FCC requires all 2-way radios used by emergency personnel be on narrow-band. The Sheriff’s Department is also upgrading to digital technology in October or November of this year. After that the radios used by the constable staff will not be able to communicate with the sheriffs. The new digital radios are very expensive, but the village must purchase them to stay current. The units cost $2,500 for a hand held unit, and 3,500 for in car units. The new units are able to find a clear channel on which to
broadcast, and the information will be encrypted. The constable showed various options available including shoulder mikes, and data screens. The constable passed out a proposal for purchasing a quantity of four hand held and one car unit. It was proposed that the paperwork for the purchase be started and the funds taken out of next years Constable budget. The motion passed.
seWeR RePoRt Gerard Stokes from the waste, water treatment plant, reported on a meeting he had with Holiday Valley. It was a request to use a smaller, in floor grease trap in the restaurant. Stokes said no and to use the trap as specified in the plans. He inspected and laid out the lateral line for connecting Kabobs, in it new location, to the main sewer line. During the engineers report Mike Smith stated that the state DEC is still checking the plans for the new water tank up by HoliMont. The particulars of the agreement with HoliMont
were discussed. neW Business
There was discussion about lowering the minimum usage for inflow to the sewer system. The current minimum is fifteen thousand gallons per quarter. The proposal is to lower that to twelve thousand gallons per quarter which would be the same as the current water usage. It was determined that a public hearing must be held to invite comment on the proposal, as it may change residents’ sewer bills. The public hearing will be at the next regular meeting of the Village Board. Permits are pending for the demolition of the Signore building on Jefferson. It is scheduled for the first of June if all goes according to code. It will not be a quick procedure, but the building is on its way out. There will be a parade on the 28th, the Monday of the Memorial Day weekend. The meeting was adjourned to allow the board to go into executive session.

A public hearing was opened in regards to adding amendments the Town of Ellicottville Comprehensive Plan was offered. However, board members and citizens present at the public hearing chose to remain with the current plan. After further discussion, one board member voiced concerns about the environmental safety associated with the plan, but was quickly reassured that there are no dangers to the environment. There were no objections to the proposal, therefore the Board voted to accept the comprehensive Plan amendments as presented
AuDit oF ClAiMs Board members set a motion to pay the town’s bills and was promptly voted yes by all members.
suPeRvisoR’s RePoRts The supervisor’s April 2012 financial report was accepted by the board, and the quarterly report was deemed to be in good shape. The budget revenue present for the quarterly report was reported as $20,000.00 and we are already at $17,000.00 according to board members. There has been no word on the notice of default letter to Mansfield regarding the WestMont Water District. This topic will be brought up again at next month’s meeting on June 20th. On Monday at 11:00 a.m. there will be a meeting to discuss the Highway Barn sale, including the needed waterline materials and overall plans for the project. According to the board, the main problem that presented itself for this project is the transition; in other words, how we get out and the buyer gets in. There was a small, triangular plot of land of 1,112 square feet that the town was interested in purchasing from the Department of Transportation. The DOT received a certified appraisal of the land for $4,300.00. No vote was made about following through with the purchase; more thinking time will be needed. Board members also suggested to foil a request for the appraisal on the property.
A program benefiting the elderly through the Department of Aging was brought up at the meeting. This program will allow meals to be prepared for the elderly and served to them twice a week at the Cooperative Extension Building. There has been no new updates, however it was mentioned that a final petition needed to be submitted to the state to get the ball rolling. A grant from the State Judicial Department will make it possible to transform the Ellicottville courtroom into a handicapped accessible establishment, along with repairing bathrooms and the foyer. Once the dollar amount of the grant is known, the board will retouch on this topic. The supervisor was recently graced with a new computer. However, the older one was passed on to one of the board members and all data from both the old computer, and another smaller computer, owned by the Ellicottville police department, was transferred to the new one. A painting bid for both the historical museum and the gazebo will be placed in the paper for this week. The Supervisor received an email expressing interest in reestablishing burning natural gas for Ellicottville energy and it was discussed in the meeting. Board members determined that there was no advantage to this proposal and that there will be no reply to the original email.
PoliCe DePARtMent Officer Auge energetically told the board about the success of the four hour tazer training that he and some of his officers went through at the Salamanca fire department. However, they don’t plan on using this training until proper SOP’s have been written up and distributed to the officers. Officer Auge plans to adopt the Salamanca police department’s current SOP’s for the tazers. In addition to successful training, the police department has also been receiving many compliments for their ongoing service.
highWAy DePARtMent Three gravel bids have been accepted by the board to allow Mr. Golley the capability of flexible ordering. A new, computerized loader has arrived on the lot of the Ellicottville Highway Department. This loader contains a back up camera and a scale that is electronically connected to the bucket. The scale shows how much is loaded into the bucket, and will total
the entire load after completion. Resale on the machine is expected to be quite good. A bid was placed for a dump body on a recently ordered one ton truck an was approved by the board. It is expected that the body will be received in six to eight weeks. Clean up of the Northwoods is well underway, and they hope to be completed before Memorial day. Tomorrow on Hebdon road, there are plans to grind the road and replace over 1000 feet of drainage tile and pipes. The gas line at Bryant Hill is expected to be worked on and completed as soon as possible.
engineeRing DePARtMent The water line extension to the Highway Garage is subject to negotiation. An estimated cost for the design tickets and surveyor is $2500 with another $7000 to be added for plans and the approval of the Health Department. Altogether the estimated cost is $9500. It will take approximately three weeks to complete. The Holimont water tank was brought into the discussion; Mr. Alianello mentioned that the inside coating of primer was still in good condition, but the outside layer of paint was chipping away. Some of these paint samples were sent off for testing to see if anything was wrong with them. It was suggested that the tank be power washed to blast the remaining paint off, then be given another coating that will last for approximately twelve years. In regards to the East Tank, Stuart Brown Associates stated that we will not qualify for a grant, which results in the need for a loan. Further discussion on this topic will take place at the Four Flushers meeting this Friday. It was determined that only a bid for the construction of the Highway Barn will be placed. The bid will appear in newspapers next week; open bids start at 10:00 a.m. on June 8th. There is a scheduled special meeting on Wednesday, June 13th at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the possibility of a contract. As of now, there are no plans of bids for the Pole Barn. As the meeting drew to a close, a few final topics were brought up to be discussed amongst the board members: the Code of Ethics will be updated next month, and both the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo and Nightmare Hayrides will receive noise and sign permits allowing them to conduct the businesses as usual. After these topics concluded, the meeting adjourned.

Gazebo
take place Thursday evenings starting July 5th, and will run thru Thursday, August 9th from 7pm to 9pm. Kelly Friel, Membership and Events Coordinator at the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, said that this particular event is geared towards the community. “While most of our other 10 events are geared to draw in outside tourists and visitors - and it’s great when we do - the Gazebo series is more for the members of the Ellicottville community,” she said. Kelly said that this event, which is in its 15th year, is a favorite of the community. “It’s right after dinner, its family oriented and there’s a great variety of bands from week to week,” she said. “This event easily targets a wide range of demographics in the area.”
The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce is different from most, as their primary function is to increase visitation to the village and help the local economy prosper. “At the same time, the Chamber’s mission is also to help make Ellicottville a great place to live”, McFadden said,” the Chamber does this event every year as one part of that mission”, The Chamber also manages a health Insurance plan for local employers and donates annually to worthwhile causes in the community. Dave Elder is in charge of selecting and booking the bands for the series each year. Elder said his goal each year is to find a group of bands that will appeal to everyone, no matter what their musical tastes are. “I pride myself in being familiar with the talent pools in Western New York,” he said. “Each year, I look for the outstanding talent and seek out those bands.” Elder said it is an ongoing process to book the bands each year. “We’re always twisting the talent schedule with different possibilities until
we’re able to finalize it all,” he said. “We’ve got a great group of bands this year. They’re all very interesting.” This year’s talent includes an all-female band, a group specializing in Celtic and world music, a pop group, a classic rock and blues band and even a flamenco group. McFadden said that he is excited to see the turnout for the Gazebo series each year. “We’ve got a great variety of bands; there’s a type of music that provides a little something for everyone,” he said. All that’s needed to enjoy these free weekly concerts is a lawn chair, a blanket, a love of music and maybe a stop for ice cream or a coffee on the way to the show. So start counting down the days until this weekly music series starts. For more information on the Gazebo series and a schedule and list of this year’s bands, go the Chamber of Commerce’s website at www.ellicottvilleny.com. For complete listing of bands playing at the Gazebo Series see box on page 8.
