“While we may think of Labor Day as a very American holiday, but this day that is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers, was actually fi rst observed by our friends and neighbors to the north in Canada. According to the U.S. Department of Labor website, Labor Day “constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.”

The fi rst observance of the U.S. Labor Day took place in New York City on Sept. 5, 1882, and was marked by a huge parade through its city streets, attended by 10,000 workers who were tired of working 12-hour days.

Before students return to school to begin their “work” year, celebrate Labor Day weekend with a stroll through tranquil Nannen Arboretum, a sweet and cool ice cream treat, family time at the Holiday Valley pools, some fi shing at Allegany State Park, Ellicottville shopping, a tasty sidewalk cafe lunch, a mountain bike trail ride or a thrilling afternoon at the Sky High Adventure Park.”

also shown and talked about, including the new 65-inch television in the cafeteria, 18 new security cameras (meant to curb unwanted behavior), and the purchase of new iPads. The class of 2012 purchased a new video camera for the Media/AV Department.

The NYSDOT semi-annual bus safety inspection report was presented, covering April

2, 2011 – March 31, 2012.Opening day of school is

Sept.5, 2012. Enrollment is anticipated to be up 3.5-4 percent for this school year, with several late enrollments still expected.

“A lot of people from out of district want to send their kids to our school,” said Ward. According to the school’s nonresident policy, ECS will

By Eva PotterThe impending fi nal approval

of Section VI skiing for middle and high schools in Western New York has districts busily working in the background preparing for the upcoming ski season.

Miguel Azcarate, owner of Mud Sweat n’ Gears and training center director at Holiday Valley, has been quietly advocating approval of school ski teams in the region over seven years. He said it’s been a slow process but that he is thrilled that approval is around the corner.

Section VI, encompassing 95 Western New York schools, is one of three sections out of 11 in New York State that does not offer competitive ski racing as a school sport, which includes slalom, giant slalom and/or Nordic contests. A former professional ski racer for Spain and experienced ski coach, Azcarate has long held the vision of bringing the sport to Ellicottville, as well as other area schools.

Ellicottville Central School Athletic Director Karl Schwartz said he remembers being approached by parents about a ski racing program about seven years ago when he fi rst started working at ECS. Azcarate and Schwartz have been working together to develop not only ECS’s program, but have worked to foster the spirit of competition and sportsmanship across Section VI.

Schwartz said, “It’s natural for us. We’re the biggest ski town in Western New York.”

According to Timm Slade, executive director of Section VI, fi nal approvals won’t be completed until mid-September because this development occurred mid-summer. He

said a recommendation to add Section VI skiing is on the agenda for the upcoming S e c t i o n a l / I n t e r s e c t i o n a l Committee meeting on Sept. 6. This committee will then recommend approval to the Athletic Council, which is scheduled to meet Sept. 19. Once the Athletic Council approves the recommendation, which Slade anticipates will happen, alpine skiing will be added as a school sport for the 2012-2013 season.

Slade said, “Many districts are really not even aware that we could offer skiing as a sport, but they will by Sept. 20. If it passes, I will send out a mass

Section VI Competitive Skiing Soon to Become

Reality at ECS

email to everyone.” Approval will spark

opportunities throughout WNY, including far-fl ung districts in Jamestown, Olean, Dunkirk, Lewiston Porter, Orchard Park, Akron, Westfi eld and many more.

Slade said he knows that ECS has been working on getting skiing approved for well over a year. He said even if ECS is the only school interested in participating the fi rst year, “that’s OK because they can compete against Section V schools,” which are located within a reasonable travel distance.

Regarding fi nancial aspects, Slade said, “There is a minor cost to Section VI, minor. The rest will be on the schools, but we haven’t worked that out yet, because we’re in the beginning stages.”

One of the fi rst priorities is to identify and appoint a chairperson for Section VI skiing. Slade stated qualifi ed individuals must be affi liated with a public school or retired from a public school.

In addition to a sectional chairperson, each interested school district will need coaches to head their teams. Again, Ellicottville is ahead of the curve with an experienced person interested in the position. The ECS Board of Education can appoint a coach pending sport approval.

As does Schwartz, Slade anticipates the program will see progressive grown in its fi rst few years, including the possibility of schools combining to form teams as needed.

“We see that happening more and more. I anticipate in the sport of skiing that will happen,” said Slade.

Schwartz said he wouldn’t be surprised if students from surrounding districts could be

charge $525 in tuition per out-of-district student for the 2012-2013 school year.

A community meeting was announced by Ward, for the purpose of letting the community view the facilities – both positive and negative. The meeting will be held Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. A possible

Reta SchroederNever a more remarkable

woman have I been fortunate to get know and love in my life as Reta. She would be so helpful to me inmy times of sorrow and troubles as well as good times Only the truth came from Reta. No words were spared, she always told it like it was and that was that. Whether you greed with her or not, she did not care. She was right and either you accepted or you simply said nothing and change the subject to another topic. When it came to politics, I changed the subject.

Reta lived in my lower suite for a few months a few years ago. She was getting chemo therapy at the time and as strong a woman as she was, she would insist on driving herself to the treatments. She would have to leave at 6 in the morning and did not get back until later in the afternoon. Of course she was horribly sick for a few days after. I would go down stairs at night after getting home from work. I made us a decafe coff ee and we would share a few cookies. And talk the evening away. Reta and her husband Bob were movers. Th ey lived in many places and her favorites were was Niagara on the Lake and East Aurora. She loved those homes that had character. She had a unique life of sail boating all over the oceans and St. Lawrence Sea Way. She even lived on a huge boat, imagine how fun that was. Th e stories she told always had humor in them. In listening, I felt like I had traveled with her on those many adventures. My friend Reta had a great laugh that I can hear to this day. Her smile was radiant. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. Reta had many friends and of course there were some people that could not accept her personality. Th ey did not know the real Reta. Th at is where I have been so fortunate. I got to know all about her and she got to know all about me.

Last Summer when she was failing, I stayed with her at

night so she was not alone. We watched TV. I got her watching Wheel off Fortune and we challenged each other on how fast we could solve the puzzle. Th en came Jeopardy. For some reason she would have a lot of the answers and I was amazed. Th en days later she admitted to me that she had seen some the the episodes before and that is how she could come up with the “question” so fast. We laughed but I knew she was a still good at that show because Reta was an avid reader. I have never seen anyone that read as much as Reta. I would guess she read at least 2 books a week, maybe more. She was a regular at the Ellicottville library .

Reta was not afraid of death. She was ready. She believed in God. Saturday was our special day together. When I got out of work, I would pick Reta up, we would go to the 5PM service at St Paul’s Luthern Church. Reta loved Pastor Kay and she loved his sermons. She would take a copy of the sermon home and read it again to herself.( If she was to sick to make a service, she asked to to be sure and get her a copy of the sermon for her to read.) After the service, I would take Reta to dinner and we would have a fun time laughing and talking about anything and everything over the delicious

food at Tip’s Up. Th at was Reta’s favorite place to have dinner. Sometimes Bonnie Cady would join us and we really had some great things to talk about. Speaking of Bonnie, she was Reta’s personal chef. Being a fellow Gemini, she, like I, did not enjoy cooking. So Bonnie would pre- cook things for Reta and fi ll her refrigerator for the week. Me, I would just take her out to dinner. Her daughter Gail Scheeler would also cook a lot of her meals and fi ll the refrigerator for her. Reta loved her family. She had a special place in her heart for her son-in-law Guy Scheeler. She talked about

him a lot. Her daughter Wendy and her son Robert were always calling her and helping her get through tough times with her health. Th ey both lived far away. Gail and Guy live here in Ellicottville and were very close to Reta. Her grandchildren had a strong and deep place in her heart. Oh to have a mother and grandmother like Reta. Joyce Evan’s was a very special friend of Reta’s. Th ey had many years of skiing and fun times together and were always there for each other.

I was blessed to have Reta in my life. I would love to have her here now helping me get through what ever comes up that I could talk to her about. She is gone physically but she will always be here in my heart. Bonnie Cady has her kitty, Ricky. He will be well taken care of. We all have good memories of Reta, we will all miss her.

A memorial service for Reta Schroeder

will be held Friday, Sept.7th

at 4 PM , St Paul’s Lutheran Church in

Ellicottville.

Clark, Barbara Fox, Elliott Hutten, Karen Fitzpatrick and Todd Plough. But this show also draws out wonderful, emerging artists and those new to the arts council like Ellen Paquette, Christie Brook, Kim Mehta, Bernard Aaron Dolecki and Debbie Weatherell.

“It’s an exciting opportunity for the arts council to show off the full range of regional talent – experienced to emerging – in one show,” according to Conroy-Baiter.

CCAC members were invited to submit up to three small works

with at least one chosen by jury. Small works were defi ned as smaller than 14 inches in every dimension – length, width and depth. Several artists had two, even three, chosen for the show.

Jurors Leslie Bellavance, dean of the School of Art and Design at Alfred University, and Cynnie Gaash, executive director at Young Audiences of Western New York, chose the works to be included via online collaboration. After the show is installed this week, the pair will be back to see the works in person to determine who will be

awarded the show’s prizes.Conroy-Baiter explained that

the Member Show was created in response to CCAC’s other large exhibition opportunity, the Southern Tier Biennial, which was geared toward contemporary artists. This show allows artists creating in more traditional veins to exhibit their work in a professionally juried show with a chance for recognition of their accomplishments.

As August comes to an end, it usually means that summer is about over. Well our weather isn’t showing summers end quite yet. Yes, it has cooled off a bit and maybe a little breezy. Still our neighborhood still has some pretty nice golf and bike riding weather available. Both Holiday Valley and Elkdale Country Club are in great shape. To enjoy a FUN round of golf, while taking advantage of what is left of the summer of 2011, just call either location, make a Tee time, then get out and enjoy the FUN time western New York offers.

Our music and other FUN STUFF is also moving along quite well. Starting today Friday August 31, 2012 through Thursday September 6, 2012 we will have eleven Bands, doing ten gigs, three DJ’s, one of which will include a karaoke show plus all the food and drink specials offered by our neat clubs and restaurants making Ellicottville the FUN place that it is.

Before we get to the music lets take a look at some of the neat Ellicottville locations that are music free, yet are a great places to enjoy great meals and FUN times.

Beginning with The Depot. They will be open Thursday through Saturday. Yes, their pizza and wing specials will be there. So as Moose says, “If Food, Liquor, & Laughter are what you are after, The Ellicottville Depot is your place”.

Just east of Ellicottville, The Birdwalk Restaurant & Antique Shop will also be serving up their great gourmet pizza specials along with a fi ne dinning menu that will have you returning for sure. The Birdwalk is well worth the drive for an excellent meal.

Tips Up Cafe is a wonderful restaurant located on Washington Street. Besides their excellent and well prepared fi ne dinning menu you will get to experience, what we call, Ellicottville’s local home town service with a Tips Up Cafe Smile.

Then on Monroe Street, The Barn Restaurant, another local and family friendly place, offers great food, especially the Friday Fish Fry, and drink specials along with all ages friendly service. All of this creates an atmosphere that is a FUN Barn Experience.

Our band parade kicks off at 7:00PM Friday in Balloons with “The Scott Celani Band”. This very interesting nineties, contemporary to pop/rock band with singer and songwriter Scott Celani on guitar and lead vocals, along with Matt Young on keys do energetic bursts of shining pop-rock that will make you smile. Scott and his band, as always, will have The Balloons Crowd Smiling; because of the excellent music they perform. Following “The Scott Celani Band” “, “Personable DJ John Barry” will keep the party going from Balloons Sound & Light Booth with his LIVE Personality Show Off Show. This show, as always, will include John’s unique chitter-chatter and a FUN, danceable selection of tunes, till close.

Friday’s FUN rounds out with two 9:00 PM gigs. First The Gin Mill will have country singer-songwriter “Sean Patrick McGraw” on their music stage. Sean has been the opening act for several big name country musicians. His gigs here in Ellicottville have always been very well attended and for good reason. He performs and brings on as his billing says, “It’s a Beer Drinking Sean Patrick McGraw Singing Country Kinda Night” which will be totally FUN. The Gin Mill this Friday will be a really JUMPIN place. Also remember, The Gin Mill

serves their reasonably priced, excellent menu including a wonderful fi sh fry, till midnight on weekends.

Also at 9:00 PM Friday The PUB in Great Valley will have “DJ Felony” along with his Karaoke Show in house. Therefore, The PUB patrons not only will get to hear “DJ Felony’s” neat selection of tunes, they will also get to choose to be part of The Karaoke Show or just kick back and enjoy The PUB good times “DJ Felony” creates.

Moving to Saturday, our music begins at 4:00 PM in Kabob’s Kafe with a return performance by “Bruce Dominessy”. As we have said before, Bruce does an acoustic jazzy solo gig that is easy listening and a very neat way to kick off your Saturday evening with a cocktail and a wonderful Kabob’s Kafe Dinner.

Then at 6:00 PM Saturday, Balloons will have “The TruFate Band” doing their really neat Rock Show. “TruFate”, a veteran four-piece band from WNY, plays a wide variety of Cover Classic, Hard and Southern Rock. You will also hear some Rockin Blues with a side of Blues/Jazz. According to their web site, they keep their covers true to their original recordings. However, they will add fl avor when they deem it appropriate. Following “TruFate”, The FUN continues with “DJ Flakey Frank Watson”, “The Party Monster” doing his rendition of an innovative plan of party continuation from Balloons Sound & Light Booth. “DJ Flakey Frank”, while on leave from The Disoriented DJ Home, will provide a trend setting and danceable selection of tunes & chit/chat till close.

Returning to 7:30 PM Saturday “Hintz of Thunder” will again be doing an acoustic duo gig at The Silver Fox. As we said last week, this is the “Mandy and Dave Duo” that did such a wonderful job a few weeks ago in The Town Gazebo celebrating the 175-Year Anniversary of St John’s Church and The Village of Ellicottville.

Then at 9:00 PM Saturday The Gin Mill will have Sean Patrick McGraw back for his second gig of the weekend. This time he will have his full or complete band with him. Therefore, we will have the full or complete version of Sean’s “Beer Drinking Country Kinda Singing” country night of music. We will have, for sure, another really FUN country music night happenin in The Gin Mill this Saturday night.

Now on to Sunday at 8:00 PM, The Gin Mill will have Ron and Terry, from “West”, doing their acoustic and FUN version of “2 Guys Drinking Beer” on their music stage. This duo does a really neat version of acoustic classic rock in a

style that is unique. Most of the tunes are cover. However, they do occasionally toss in a few of their own very interesting tunes. “Two Guys Drinking Beer” are very crowd involved and will create another Really FUN Gin Mill Night of Music.

Monday being Labor Day, The Gin Mill will have their “All U Can Eat Spaghetti Dinner” for only $6.99. As always, “Country Connor, The Crash Dummy” will be on bar duty feeding The Gin Mill’s Sound System with excellent traditional country tunes that will make this wonderful Gin Mill Dinner Special even better. The fi rst band show of the new week, “Brews & Bluegrass”, begins at 6:30 PM Monday in The Ellicottville Brewing Company featuring music by “The Blue Mule Band”. Bluegrass with heart performed in this excellent fi ve-piece band’s interesting way will, for sure, make for a FUN Music Evening in The Ellicottville Brewing Company. M o n d a y becomes complete at 10:00 PM Sharp with Madigans Church on Monday. Deacon Dan and Reverend Jack will again be ROCKIN Madigans with their original Honky Tonk to Rock-A-Billy tunes and general silliness done in their own FUN and entertaining way. Thereby creating another Unique & FUN Madigans Music Night. Moving to 8:00 PM Wednesday, The Gin Mill will have Joe Wagner and John Winston doing their neat and traditional folk to southern rock acoustic music show. As we all know, this Gin Mill Tradition of well over twenty years is one of the best and most FUN music nights in Ellicottville and The Gin Mill has it going every Wednesday. Then at 8:00 PM Thursday “The FAR Out Band” will be ROCKIN The Gin Mill. “The FAR Out Band”, which is “The Fred And Rod Outstanding Band” with Freddie on bongos and vocals and Rod on guitar and vocals. As we all know, we will hear tunes with an excellent country to southern rock sound, which will create another excellent Gin Mill Night of Music.

By William Thomas

I hate it when she’s right.Years ago I wrote a book – Never Hitchhike On The Road Less Travelled – that in hindsight, was mistitled. It should have been tagged I Hate It When She’s Right.

The book was a collection of humorous travel stories, the kind of ‘holidays from hell’ we’ve all been through except I took notes. Good book according to the reviews, a solid seller according to the publisher, wrong title. Here’s why.

Monica and I arrived at Pearson Airport for our fl ight to Lisbon two hours prior to takeoff. Four hours later, we were still in line with several hundred anxious passengers staring at the Air Transat counter employees, who are doing nothing except staring back at us.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love the Portuguese. Portugal is a vibrant country of postcard seascapes and breathtaking mountain vistas, a country with outstanding food and wine. However, under what they consider to be the very broad category of check-in luggage, Portuguese returning home will often include refrigerators, central heating systems, motorcycles and sofas.

This fl ight’s luggage, which ton for ton equaled all the military hardware shipped to Desert Storm, broke the conveyor belt at Pearson Airport behind Air Transat’s check-in counters.

The staring contest ended when an Air Transat supervisor came up with a brilliant idea: carry the luggage twenty feet

to where the belt was still working! By unanimous vote, he became our choice for Air Transat’s ‘Employee Of The Month.’

Everybody was in a bad mood as we left late, arrived late and then spent an hour at Lisbon airport watching luggage go around a long, snaking carousel. The bad news? Our luggage was not to be seen. The good news? Hey – their conveyor belt was working.

Apparently, the luggage that refused to board in Toronto later refused to get off the plane in Lisbon. Our luggage went instead to Oporto, 340 kilometres north, a lovely city I’m told and a favourite jumping-off point of my clean underwear and tennis racquet. Looking at one suitcase circling around the ramp for an hour I thought – “I wonder what size that guy is?” I’m here two weeks, I can wear anything.

We spent another hour waiting in line, with a disgruntled group of passengers that could become a mob any moment, fi lling out lost luggage forms. Then we went down to the lobby of the airport to pick up our rental car which, suspiciously enough, was ready to go.

It was dank, dreary and pouring rain in Lisbon. After being up for thirty-four hours straight, I was slapping myself on the back of the head to stay awake as I drove up the narrow streets of Lisbon towards our hotel at the top of the highest

hill in the old Graca area. The Senhora do Monte is small, clean and quiet, with terrifi c views of St. George’s Castle and all of downtown Lisbon. I couldn’t wait to drop our passports on the front desk and pass out between the sheets.

Oddly, people on the street were waving to us from under umbrellas and inside doorways. Although I couldn’t remember exactly what I had done on my last trip here, I had obviously made quite an impression on the locals. They were genuinely excited to see me.

I’m waving at people: “Hi, Bill from Wainfl eet! How you doin’?”

And that’s why I love Portugal! The people are the friendliest in all of Europe.

As the streets got narrower and steeper, the rain pounded harder and the people kept waving. Finally, one guy jumped straight into the path of the car with his hands raised. I hit the brakes, stopping in front of him.

Travel tip: in Portugal, when people shout “Bomberos!” it is not an endearing term meaning “frequent foreign visitor.” It means “Firemen!” That’s right, the concerned citizens of Lisbon were waving at us because the car was on fi re. Driving up the steep streets, I could not see the smoke coming out the bottom of the car. They could.

The good news is it’s raining so hard that as soon as

I popped the hood the fi re was extinguished. We abandon the car. That’s now somebody else’s problem.

The bad news is it’s raining so hard I can barely see the Castle St. George at the top of the mountain which is next to our hotel. I estimate we have 50 minutes to trudge uphill through the stinging rain. Thoroughly drenched we plod ever upward one foot in front of the other when Monica says something rather diabolic.

“This,” she says, “could be worse.”

You have to understand that I am jetlagged, sleep-deprived, soaked and cranky so I will clean up my response to Monica.

“How in the … heck, could this … galdarn situation be worse … Dear?” I said.

And Monica said something that I will never forget, she said: “We could have luggage!”

As I said, I hate it when she’s right … which would have been an excellent title for my book on travel.

A special meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board was held Wednesday, Aug. 29, 2012, at 4 p.m., as a continuation of the Aug. 24, 2012, meeting due to incomplete information from one of the contractors’ bids.

The town garage pole barn building was the topic and only item on the agenda. At the Aug. 17 meeting, it was decided to look into a materials bid only for the project, with the option of constructing the building by town employees to be hired as part-time, seasonal employees.

Special Meeting Called by Ellicottville Town Board

by Jennie Acklin

Two bids were opened for materials only, and the bid was awarded to House of Steel. The total project estimate, including labor, is $92,000, a cost savings of approximately $30,000.

A motion was made to approve the hiring of part-time, seasonal employees to build the pole barn, to be supervised by Mike Halloran.

A second motion was made to reject the materials bid from Sixt & Son, due to an informality and lack of responsiveness.

A third motion was made to accept the House of Steel bid for $45,292.58 in materials.

The next regular Ellicottville Town Board meeting is scheduled for Sept. 19 at 6 p.m.

by Jennie AcklinAlthough only two items

were on the agenda for the Town of Ellicottville’s Planning Board members, the long meeting full of details stretched out for almost three hours Monday, Aug. 27, 2012.

Tim Hortons was fi rst on the agenda. Ray Miranda, Chris Wood and the architect for the project were prepared with detailed site plan drawings, which included landscaping, parking lot details (with parking spaces, stacking space and the truck turning analysis report), lighting, snow storage, grading, architectural details and signage. A very thorough presentation was made resulting in an approved motion for the project, with 17 conditions to be met during the construction process.

Town of Ellicottville Planning Board

Tim Hortons Approval Given with 17 ConditionsGlen Burn Trail Site Plans Need Additional Revisions

Architectural renderings presented for Tim Hortons at Monday’s Planning Board meeting.

At 7:45 p.m., the board listened to a presentation from Carl Calarco on the Glen Burn Trail development. Previously named Starlite Village and located at 6430-6422 Route 242 East, adjacent to StrideTool and the Ilex Inn, Glen Burn Trail has an approved master plan development on an approximate 5-acre site within the Town of Ellicottville limits.

At the June 2012 planning board meeting, conditional approval was given, as stated:

“The developer will begin construction for buildings 13, 14, and 15, with four stipulations that must be met, which include: 1.) Revised architectural drawings complete with color, trim and window details more aesthetically pleasing window placements on end units; 2.) Fifteen-foot setbacks from

parent parcel boundaries; 3.) A 72-foot separation between the fronts of buildings; and 4. Approval only applies to units 13, 14 and 15, and any future building must be presented to approval.”

During Monday’s meeting, a revised site plan was again requested, detailing the requirement for the 72-foot separation between the buildings – allowing for ample parking space, especially when snowplowing becomes an issue. Open space percentages were also discussed. It was unclear whether 40 percent or 50 percent of the entire site was to be dedicated open space and which version of the recently changed zoning law applies. Town Planner Carol Horowitz will contact the homeowner’s association attorney for clarifi cation.

“The board still has an obligation to look at the entire project details and make sure it all works,” said Horowitz, in reference to Calarco’s comment that he and owner Chris McNally are simply modifying an approved existing plan. The discussion ended with the board asking for revised site plans that provide parking areas 24 feet deep in front of the buildings, and a homeowner’s association document draft before approval can be given for the project.

The next meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Planning Board is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 24 at 6:00 pm.

Tonight, August 31st, is the occasion for a ‘Blue Moon’. A ‘Blue Moon’ is the second full moon in one month - hence the saying - ‘Once in a Blue Moon’. The fi rst full moon appeared on August 1st.

We continue to have our ‘yo-yo’ weather but the temperatures have cooled at night giving us marvelous sleeping temperatures. Nothing like a cool breeze blowing through an open window while you’re sleeping. The rain we’ve had plus the cooler nights has spurred the grass into a growing mode once again. Tomatoes and peppers are ripening, the local corn is wonderful along with many other vegetables and fruits available at our Farmers’ Market. I can never seem to get enough of these ‘fresh from the garden’ items. We’re indeed fortunate to have these fresh items available to us every week.

If you planted a garden this Spring, one of the most rewarding times,

is harvesting what you grew. It may be a bouquet of fl owers for your table or it may be herbs to use in cooking or craft projects or maybe a crop of vegetables to eat now, or to freeze or can to enjoy during the winter months. If you grew vegetables like tomatoes and peppers, squashes like zucchini and yellow summer squash, radishes and lettuces, peas and beans, harvesting their fruit has been on going as the fruit matures. Each year I like to experiment growing diff erent vegetables - sometimes with good results and sometimes not such good results. One year I planted okra. I happen to like okra and I often make Creole dishes like Gumbo and thought it would be wonderful to grow my own okra. Unfortunately, I failed to harvest the okra in a timely fashion and the pods became too tough to eat. I plan to try growing this vegetable again as I

love the beautiful fl owers it produces.

There are several root crops that require special harvesting techniques like parsnips. Parsnips do not develop their sweet fl avor until after the soil temperatures hover around freezing for two to four weeks in the fall. Mulch the parsnips with a layer of straw two to four inches thick to protect the plants from freezing and then harvest this crop in late winter or early spring. Carrots can also be over wintered in the ground by cutting back their foliage to approximately an inch and layering six to eight inches of straw. Carrot tops should be covered by soil or mulch to prevent the carrots from turning green and bitter. Keeping a watchful eye on your vegetables as they mature and harvesting as needed will help keep your plants producing into the later fall months.

rewarding times,

Combine 1 cup of halved or quartered tomatoes, 1

tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, 1 teaspoon of capers

and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup

of cooked angel-hair pasta, (I prefer whole wheat pasta)

and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. A variation of

this dish use chopped Basil or Tarragon, crumbled Feta

cheese and either a bow-tie pasta or Penne pasta. I also

add a good sprinkle of fresh ground pepper. Seasonings

can be adjusted to your own likes. Bon Apetit!!!

Master Your Gardenaster Your GardenBy Barbara Kozlowski, Master Gardener

by Mary FoxFestivals and sports are only

part of Ellicottville’s persona. This charming town also has a vibrant cultural side. The Mill Street Gallery shows the work of three local painters – Barb Fox, Sean Huntington and Nance Jackson. Many shops feature items made by local artists, and local churches offer plays, concerts, workshops and speakers.

The Ellicottville Memorial Library also promotes Ellicottville’s cultural side, showing the works of local artists in the Library Gallery, as well as 3-D works on the library’s shelves. Drawing and painting classes are held in the Community Room, along with other activities provided by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council. Speakers from

the Historical Society, author’s talks and book signings, children’s programs, free movies and the “Growing With Music” program for preschoolers, are just a few.

Until Sept. 15, a display of paintings by students of world-renowned artist and instructor Todd Plough are being shown. Under his tutelage, fi ve local women have excelled and some have even sold their pieces for a nice profi t.

“It’s a fun group and the Community Room has perfect lighting and plenty of space. It’s an asset to the community,” said Marcy Hazard, a student of Plough.

A new exhibit will be shown after Sept. 15 with works by Judy Leasure from Smethport, Pa. Leasure works in pastels and colored pencil.

She said, “My work is realistic and my subject primarily animals and still life. I enjoy the challenge of creating the illusion of three dimensions on a two-dimensional surface.”

Twice a year, a group called the Royal Acorn Club works in conjunction with the schools and the Griffi th Institute to fulfi ll the vision of Simon Griffi th. Together they fi ll his

tree sculpture in the Library Gallery with hundreds of stained glass and metal leaves made by students in metal working classes.

High school students display their work in January, and elementary students’ art is hung for viewing in May.

Librarian Laura Flannigan is very much in favor of providing cultural services through the library. When asked what she would like to see at the library, she said, “I could use event planners, talented people who would be willing to arrange monthly programs, such as classes and speakers from the community.”

Local artist Barb Fox coordinates the library’s gallery displays. If you or someone you know would like to have an exhibit at the library, please call Barb Fox at (716) 699-4145.

accepted into Ellicottville’s program if their district doesn’t have enough interested students to fi eld teams. Transfer rules, Section VI exception approvals and other factors will determine fi nal eligibility. NYSPHSAA (New York State Public High School Athletic Association) guidelines will determine grade levels and eligibility standards.

Speculating, Schwartz said that more than likely the fi rst year may follow an “independent schedule,” but

Section VI SkiingCont. from Front Page

when and where contests are scheduled will depend on how many schools wish to participate. Schwartz is guessing that this sport may be “classifi ed as a team sport with a lot of individual emphasis,” possibly falling in the C or D school size category.

“This section is becoming more and more lenient with small schools and (sports) mergers, and they’re really relaxing some of the requirements,” said Schwartz. He said he has

been working closely with ECS Superintendent Mark Ward, who has expressed enthusiasm and support for the new program.

There are 95 Section VI member schools, and according to Azcarate’s estimate, about 100-plus students, many who are already competing, will now have the opportunity to race under their home school’s banner.

Back to SchoolWhile the kids are out buying new

clothes, backpacks, school supplies and sneakers, teachers are at school getting their classrooms ready for another year of “reading, writing and arithmetic.”

Marie Klei nderlein has been teaching school at ECS for 10 years. She said, “I’m

looking forward to coming back after the long summer. I missed the kids. It’s nice to be the fi rst teacher to welcome them to high school. The common perception of high school kids is that they are moody and diffi cult, but mostly they are warm and funny, and good to be around.”

Jackie James teaches grades 11 and 12 social studies. It is her 12th year at ECS. Her fi rst week at school will focus on the

presidential convention. Her goal in teaching is “that all be successful in what they want.” Her classes will be doing community service projects, which the kids choose. She will also be teaching a new honors class for the 11th grade in which they will do work to prepare for college.

Colleen Bower has taught at ECS for eight years. This year she is teaching

kindergarten. Her goal is “getting them used to school and what it’s all about, and making instruction individual so they can accomplish what they are able to do and enjoy being here.” For Bower, “prep is ongoing from the end of the school year to the beginning of the next school year. The time is spent evaluating, fi nding things that need to be changed and coming up with new things to do.”

April Donoghue is beginning her 14th year at Ellicottville. This year she is teaching

4th grade. This summer, Donoghue attended training for K-5 teachers for the new English Language Arts Core Curriculum at BOCES. She said, “New York State is challenging students to dig deeper into English, language arts and math, and teachers are charged with challenging students to do their best.”

Mark Ward, superintendent of Ellicottville Central School, said, “We’re excited about the start of another school year and looking forward to welcoming our students back. This year we are focusing on 20th century skills with the theme of ‘Education, Your Ticket to the Future.’” He said enrollment is up 4 percent from last year and has been going up for the past fi ve years. Only 15–20 children come from the village of a total enrollment of 620, and there are 54 on the teaching staff.

[email protected] in the 1887 Building, Room 8

By Rebecca LaBordeEllicottville’s Jefferson Inn is

a unique bed & breakfast that offers a three-course breakfast daily and a hot tub to ease the stress of the day.

Jean Kirsch, originally from West Seneca, worked on Wall Street in New York City for 22 years. During that time, her job also included living part of that time in England. Kirsch’s goal had always been to get out of the banking industry and buy a bed & breakfast in Connecticut. That goal changed after she attended Ellicottville’s Fall Fest with friends, who have a second home here, and decided this was where she wanted to pursue her dream. Seven years ago, she purchased the Jefferson Inn, which is its original name, and moved onto the premises in order to manage her business more effectively.

The Jefferson Inn was built in 1995 and is the Village of Ellicottville’s fi rst inn. Kirsch has done major renovations every year since she purchased it in 2006 and feels she is fi nally at the point where the restoration is complete. Her focus now is to maintain the property and add to her customer base.

Kirsch decided to decorate the inn with antique furniture in all the rooms with the exception of the effi ciencies, which have a country motif. The rooms at the inn include four bedrooms, one two-room suite and two effi ciencies. The suite and effi ciencies have a TV and fi replace, and all rooms have private baths.

Jeff erson Inn Welcome Refuge for Visitors

The main building has a large dining room where Kirsch serves a three-course breakfast daily. Kirsch prepares the meal of fruit, homemade baked goods and a full breakfast meal, such as eggs benedict herself. Kirsch also makes homemade jams, applesauce and pickles. The ski package she offers to customers includes lift tickets and a hearty packed lunch “they can graze on all day,”

Kirsch said. The three-course breakfast is

not included in the effi ciencies, because they have their own kitchenettes. They are used primarily for people with children and pets.

Kirsch said she had to travel a lot when she worked in the banking industry and has an idea of what people want. She provides cookies, water in the rooms and a hot tub on the back porch. She even provides complimentary dog biscuits for customers with pets.

Two sitting rooms in the main building offer customers a chance to socialize. One of the sitting rooms even offers travelers games to play, a

television to watch and wireless Internet access. Another added feature is the inn’s proximity to the park.

“During the summer, people love to sit on the porch and listen to the music concerts held at the gazebo,” Kirsch said.

Kirsch doesn’t feel the economy has affected her too much, because she’s found that due to the economy people are staying local.

“People seem to feel it is less expensive than going farther away for ski trips,” she said.

This past winter wasn’t a great ski season because there was so little snow, but Kirsch explained she’s also getting a different crowd.

“Mountain biking in the area has been drawing in a younger crowd,” Kirsch stated. “I get a lot of repeat business and not just skiers. People like to come to this area for other activities like antiquing, hiking, golfi ng or to go to the casino.”

Repeat customers feel like the inn is a “home away from home,” she said. One group that comes to the Jefferson Inn every New Year’s Eve did a video that they put on YouTube and created a book of memories about the inn that depicts their annual trips. This book now sits on the table in the community sitting room for all to enjoy.

Other groups, like EMTs, also book the whole place for get-togethers, and families rent it for reunions or special events. One local person had a birthday bash in March and several out-of-town guests that were coming to attend the event stayed at the inn.

Kirsch loves managing her business in Ellicottville and said her greatest challenge is simply maintaining it by herself. Kirsch spends her spare time doing all the activities she enjoys.

She said, “I love to ski, snowshoe, mountain bike and hike, and I am able to do all of those activities right here. That’s why Ellicottville is so great.”

Deb Packard and Jenn Karns are putting together plans to host a lecture series beginning Sept. 5 for 12 weeks, ending Dec. 5. At the center of the series is The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. Both women are very familiar with this book and would like to open discussion to members of the community.

The book’s subtitle, A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, could be an antidote to today’s cultural climate as it seeks an inner path to creativity, self-refl ection and the spiritual way of living. Cameron states in her introduction, “Art is a spiritual transaction.” Artists routinely practice a form of faith as they move toward a creative goal, which is often invisible to those around us. Art is an act of faith.

“No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selfi sh or too silly to work on your creativity,” states Cameron.

A minimum number of people is required to host this series.

The United Church of

Ellicottville to Host Lecture

Series Beginning Sept. 5

Off ered Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. at the United Church of

Ellicottville on Elizabeth Street.

Contact Deb Packard at (716) 699-4003.
