The New York State Department of Transportation is rehabilitating a stretch of U.S. Route 219 within the village of Ellicottville. Susan S. Surdej, assistant to the NYSDOT regional director, said the the contractor hired by the state began work on the project in late April, and expects to fi nish the project in early June, assuming weather conditions permit construction during the coming months. She said the project would entail the reconstruction of the roadways drainage structure followed by milling and resurfacing the section of road. The project would encompass a stretch of road from the south village line near Sugar Pine Lodge on Jefferson Street to the east village line just past Filmore Drive.

Surdej said that a total rehabilitation of this section of road is the proper treatment strategy at this time, since it will preserve the structural integrity of the road, maximize the life of the pavement and provide a smoother riding surface for the next eight years. She added that if crews simply patched the section of road the long-term costs to repair the road would be far greater and would not offer the immediate benefi ts of a full rehabilitation. According to Matthew Balling, NYSDOT executive offi ce assistant, there is no intention to close Jefferson Street during paving operations; instead, the crews will use a fl agger to direct traffi c. Surdej said she does not expect any noticeable increase in repairs this year caused due to the harsh winter weather. She explained that the majority of potholes in the region are due to our

By Dean WhitcombAlthough famous for its “old world shopping” atmosphere and experience, along with its reputation for selling exotic goods, there really is no time of year quite like the Easter season at Broadway Market! During this season, the market showcases several live acts and performances from local performers. The Easter Bunny himself makes a trip to the market daily throughout the season to see all of the children that make their way through in time for Easter Sunday!

Bonaventure Square will include apartments, a hotel, a bookstore, re-tail outlets, entertainment, offi ces, and a Sports Complex. The latestrenderings were done by a new architect, Lauer Manguso & Associ-ates, who were chosen for the work on March 31st. The “SportsPlex”is a $25 to $30 million project and would include an ice arena andfacilities for baseball, softball, or golf. The name of the hotel has not been made public, though it is a nationally known entity. Developers will fi rst focus on putting up the apartments and bookstore, with initial construction to begin in August of this year.

Members of the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency met on Tuesday, April 19th. They took a look at new renderings for the proposed Bonaventure Square project in Allegany during a presentation by the developer, and also heard a presentation from Kevin Sheen of Everpower on the proposed wind farm project in the Town of Allegany. The board began their meeting with an audit report of the IDA from Denise Veloski of RA Mercer. The annual audit gave the IDA an “unqualifi ed opinion,” which means a good and clean audit, according to IDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor. The fi rm found no problems with IDA management or the dealings of the agency for the last

At the start of the Town Board meeting Wednesday night Supervisor Burrell commented on the amount of citizens who had come to the meeting. Of the ten people at the meeting, seven of them we there to express their concerns to the board about the process

of fracking. The procedure, developed by the oil companies, involves drilling into shale deposits. In certain wells, the drill is turned 90 degrees to drill horizontally further into the shale. High-pressure water, along with other chemicals is injected into the shale to fracture (frack) the shale to release natural gas; which can then be captured and sold. The process is controversial because the water, laden with toxic chemicals can escape the well and get into the local water supply, rendering it unusable. One of the largest gas shale deposits in the country is the Marcellus Shale Formation that lies under all of central Pennsylvania and extends under most of the Southern Tier. Oil companies and drilling operations have come into the area to try and exploit this resource. The woman who spoke on the issue asked a simple question; “What will we do if the water goes

ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1965. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at with an expert set of eyes. With the help of these ICCA members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1965. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1965 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said.

The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICCA. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICCA will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewelry, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at over $1,100.00 per ounce near an all time high. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewelry and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers.

So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If your’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Please remember to say a little prayer for the Easter Bunny. Poor little guy, lugging all that candy around during this spate of truly awful spring gloom. I sincerely hope that Mrs. Cottontail dresses him extra warm before he leaves late

Saturday night. It’s a wonder how he pulls it all off year after year, but he does – by golly. I mean, you try to dodge cars, dogs, mean farmers and snoopy kids with a huge bag of eggs over your shoulder. And he does it all without elves. Man, what a rabbit… But eggs? Okay, fi rst he has to hard-boil them – and we’re talking literally millions of eggs! That just can’t be easy – I don’t like doing six or so of them. And they’re not so great for your cholesterol, but they’re pretty enough. – EB must work for hours upon hours coloring the darn things. What a mess he must make! Those little colored pills, when exposed to warm white vinegar, produce a great stain for eggs but not so wonderful for clothing and fi nger tips, (or little white bunny paws). If I was the Easter Bunny, I‘d totally forego all that egg bizz,

(unless the eggs were hollow and made of chocolate – much lighter to carry). I’d stock up on White Chocolate Lambs, milk chocolate effi gies of myself, (shameless self-promotion, I know), a few trillion jelly beans (and NOT those spicy ones – the gourmet, fruity kind) and lots of sponge candy. Ah, sponge candy – if Jim Watson invented sponge candy, the guy should be knighted, or made president or something. Seriously, who could turn down sponge candy? Rumor has it sponge candy’s actually good for your cholesterol (warning: rumor started by Jim Watson). So, dear readers, celebrate the Easter Holiday in fi ne style – forget the diet, forget the ham dinner, and just chow down on as much Easter chocolate you can get your mitts on. After all, the one, true bunny needs continued employment! Until next week… JZ

The annual Easter Egg Hunt in Ellicottville will take place on Saturday, April 3 at 1pm at the Ellicottville Village Park. The event is sponsored by the Ellicottville Fire Department and invites children of the community and their parents to come cel-ebrate this fun and exciting Ellicottville Tradition! (In the case of inclement weather, the event will take place inside the Fire Hall.)

HV $5.3M ImprovementsEllicottville Resort Expands Winter & Summer Operations

Holiday Valley’s President and General Manager, Dennis Eshbaugh recently announced the Ellicottville resort will be reinvesting $5.3 million this year to expand and improve winter and summer operations. Holiday Valley’s major projects include construction of Sky High Outdoor Adventure Park, a new quad chairlift, snowmaking upgrades, a new grooming machine and expansion of the pool area at the Inn at Holiday Valley. The $2.5 million Sky High Adventure Park is being built in the Tannenbaum area of the resort. An Aerial Adventure park and a Mountain Coaster will be completed this summer. Beginning May 21 visitors to the Aerial Park can explore the tree top courses; cross bridges, climb ladders, navigate obstacles and soar on zip lines. There are eight different courses that increase in diffi culty as they rise in height above the ground. The Mountain Coaster, scheduled to open in early July, is similar to a roller coaster with cars that ride on a track. One or two riders load a car adjacent to the Tannenbaum Lodge and

ride up the hill parallel to the Spruce Lake lift. At the apex the car begins its thrilling descent zigzagging and spiraling down through the woods. Riders can accelerate or decelerate using handles on the sides of the car. The Holiday Valley Mountain Crew will construct a quad chairlift to replace the existing SnowPine double chairlift. This new lift doubles the capacity of the lift and allows ski-in, ski-out access to the SnowPine Village condominiums. Bear Cub, a beginner trail that was constructed for the 2010-11 season is serviced by this lift and will be outfi tted with snowmaking pipeline and hydrants for the 2011-12 season. The lower section of Bear Cub is being extended for easier access to the base of the SnowPine lift. An automated snowmaking system will be installed on the mile-long Mardi Gras slope. Weather stations on the upper and lower slope monitor temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed and direct a computer to turn on or off the snowguns, or increase or decrease the air and water fl ow. The goal of automation is to

increase effi ciency and energy savings while providing the best possible manmade snow. Holiday Valley will purchase a new grooming tractor to bring the newest technology in grooming to Holiday Valley’s slopes and trails. Holiday Valley’s fl eet of seven groomers resurface the ski slopes each night using a hydraulic tiller that grinds the top layer of snow and lays it down as a soft corduroy new surface. The machines also have a hydraulic blade on the front, which can be used to smooth the snow surface or to add moguls or shapes. The very popular pool area at the Inn at Holiday Valley will be expanded with a larger deck and a second hot tub. The pool facility at the Inn also includes an indoor/outdoor year ‘round pool where guests can swim outdoors in the wintertime and watch the skiers glide by. Plans for the reconstruction of the main Clubhouse Chalet and relocation of the Holiday Valley Road continue to make progress, with construction of the new lodge slated for summer of 2012.

Hike HoliMontHoliMont Park Relieves Terrain Park Withdrawal April 30th

The 2010/11 ski season isn’t offi cially over at HoliMont. The lifts have stopped running but there is still a lot of usable snow out there and since lots of you are probably already experiencing some severe terrain park withdrawal symptoms HoliMont is pleased to announce that we will be offering you exactly what you’re looking for. So don’t pack your gear away for the summer

just quite yet. Come HIKE THE PARK at HoliMont on April 30th from 10am to 3pm. $5 gets you access to the park. There will be about eleven different features set up (rails, boxes, wall ride…sorry, no jumps) so come out, take advantage of the snow that is left and get your jib on! The Park Crew at HoliMont had a banner season and the guys

are looking forward to putting together a little post-season gathering over at the bottom of Wild Thing (just off to the side of the Sunset lift). Helmets are required at the HoliMont Terrain Park so grab your brain-bucket, throw some rub-on wax on your skis or board and come on out to HoliMont for one fi nal session. Everyone is invited…we hope to see you there!

SBU Arbor Day Tree PlantingUniversity Announces Tree Campus Advisory Committee Event, April 29 As part of its Tree Campus USA initiative, St. Bonaventure University has appointed a Campus Tree Advisory Committee and planned an Arbor Day observance. As announced earlier this semester, St. Bonaventure has earned Tree Campus USA recognition for 2010, capping a yearlong effort to demonstrate its commitment to promoting healthy management of its campus forests and engaging the campus community in that effort. The University is among only about 100 campuses to have received the designation since the program began in 2008. The University’s Arbor Day

tree planting will take place at 12:30 p.m. Friday, April 29. A sapling donated by Schichtel’s Nursery of Springville will be planted near Shay-Loughlen Hall (parking lot adjacent to the Rathskeller). The University community and the public are invited to attend. To renew the Tree Campus USA designation, the University must annually demonstrate standards of tree care and community engagement. A Campus Tree Advisory Committee was established to aid in planning. The advisory committee is composed of Larry Sorokes, associate vice president of Franciscan Mission and

director of the Center for Community Engagement; Br. Kevin Kriso, O.F.M., of Mt. Irenaeus; Dr. Ted Georgian of the Department of Biology; Emily Deragon, vice president of the Student Government Association; Lauryn Klinger, a student representative; Bridget Steele, a student representative; Rob Hurlburt, associate director of Facilities for Maintenance; Sue Cooper, city of Olean forester; and Wayne Cooper, a retired forester with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Already this year, the University has replaced a number of damaged trees and planted saplings.

Please join us for the Grand Opening of 100 West Main Street, the new home of the Cattaraugus County Arts Council on Friday, April 29 from 6-8pm! We can’t wait to show off the hard work done by our volunteers, the generous donations made by our community partners, and most importantly, our beautiful new location. We’ll provide refreshments, entertainment, and we’ll have our raffl e artwork on display. It’s guaranteed to be a great night to celebrate our future on Allegany’s Main Street.

Wagner to Perform at SBUMetropolitan Opera Competition Winner to Perform April 29th

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., April 18, 2011 — Rising opera star Amber Wagner will appear in recital at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 29, in the last concert of the Friends of Good Music season at St. Bonaventure’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. She will be accompanied by Elizabeth M. Hastings, music director of the Liederkranz Foundation. Wagner won fi rst prize at the 2010 Liederkranz Competition in New York City and was awarded the St. Bonaventure University Performance Prize. Joseph A. LoSchiavo, executive director of the Quick Center, served as a fi nalist judge, and Ludwig Brunner, the Quick Center’s director of programming, was a judge for the preliminaries and fi nals. Wagner was featured in the PBS documentary fi lm “The Audition,” which opened to audiences nationwide in 2009. L.A. Splash Magazine lauded Wagner for her “powerful and radiant voice, which carried effortlessly over the orchestra.” The fi lm follows a group of young singers through the tense preparations leading up to the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions Grand Finals and provides a unique opportunity to look behind the scenes of the very tough competition process. The Quick Center will screen “The Audition” at 7:30 p.m. on

Tuesday, April 26. The screening is free and open to the public. In demand internationally, Wagner returned recently to the Lyric Opera of Chicago to sing the role of Elsa in Richard Wagner’s “Lohengrin,” conducted by Sir Andrew Davis. During the upcoming months, she will appear at Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago to sing Beethoven’s “Mass in C-Major” under Maestro Carlos Kalmar. She will sing the role of Sieglinde in Act 1 of Wagner’s “Die Walküre” in concert with the Colorado Symphony, conducted by Christian Arming, and will make her debut at the prestigious Savonlinna Festival in Finland as Elsa in “Lohengrin.” A native of Oregon, Wagner studied at Grand Canyon University. She is the recipient of the Richard Tucker Award, the Kirsten Flagstad Award of the George London Foundation, and earned fi rst prize at the Palm Beach Opera Vocal Competition. Hastings returns to the Quick Center for her sixth appearance after conducting the very successful performances of the opera double bill “The Three Hermits” and “Hester Prynne at Death” by Stephen Paulus in 2008. She is the music director of the Liederkranz Foundation and Opera Theatre and has guest conducted at many opera companies. She is also a sought after coach and accompanist in New York City.

This performance is supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts. For tickets and information, call the Quick Center at (716) 375-2494. For each Friends of Good Music performance, the Quick Center opens its galleries one hour before the performance and keeps them open throughout the intermission. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Museum admission is free and open to the public year round. For information, visit www.sbu.edu/quickcenter.

Wagner will perform in the last concert of the Friends of Good Music season at St. Bonaventure Friday, April 29.

21 sites throughout Western New York will host a medication drop-off day on April 30 from 9am to 1pm. It’s the largest single day drop-off in Western New York. The Drug Enforcement Administration is leading the effort as part of a national campaign with the support of local police agencies, Kids Escaping Drugs, UB and D’Youville Schools of Pharmacy, Erie County DEP, IHA, Covanta , Buffalo Bisons and West Herr Automotive Group. A similar event held in September collected over 2 tons of unwanted and unneeded medications from residential homes. Western New York lead the state in collections.

DEA Plans Drug Drop-OffPrescription Drug Drop-Off to Keep Kids Safe, April 30

The purpose behind the collections is to keep medications out of the hands of teens looking to experiment and to keep our water safe. Flushing old medications contaminate the water table and eventually our drinking water. Numerous state and national surveys show time and again that prescription pain medications are fast becoming the drug of choice among our teens with most reporting taking the medications from someone’s home. Taken as prescribed these medications can control severe pain. When abused, addiction can come quickly; too often ending in death. For more information: Lt. David Schuman 938-2597 or

Inv. Christa Heckathorn 938-2572. Drop-Off Sites include the following: Cattaraugus County - Gowanda Village Municipal Garage, 27 East Main St, Gowanda, Salamanca Municipal Building, 225 Wildwood Ave, Salamanca, Cattaraugus County Offi ce Building-Olean, 1 Leo Moss Dr. Olean; Wyoming County - Wyoming County Sheriff’s Offi ce-151 North Main St Warsaw, Arcade Police Headquarters- 12 Church St. Arcade; Chautauqua County - Alstar Headquarters - 738 North Monroe Street Dunkirk, NY, Chautauqua Mall - 318 Eas t Fairmount Ave, Lakewood, NY 14750; Erie County - Bertrand Chaffee Hospital.

Dr. John G. Watson, 67, Dean of the School of Business and a member of the St. Bonaventure family for more than 35 years, passed away Sunday about 10:15 p.m. in a York, Pa., hospital. Funeral arrangements will be shared when they become available. “The campus is shocked and deeply saddened by this news,” said Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., S.T.D., president of the university. “John has served this University and our students for 36 years with the highest levels of integrity and distinction — as Vice President for Academic Affairs, as Dean of the School of Business, and as a beloved faculty member. I’m sure the full magnitude of his contributions are impossible to measure. Our prayers are with his family, who are all themselves dear members of our greater university family.” His wife, Suzanne, just retired after nine years as a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science. Their son Steve is director of athletics, and their son John is a professor of marketing. Dr. Watson was scheduled to retire in May. Watson was also survived by daughter Jane, who lives in St. Louis. Another daughter, Christine, passed away in 2006. A professor of management sciences, Watson had been Dean of the School of Business for the

last four years. It was Watson’s second stint as Dean; he served in that role from 1976 to 1984, just a year after beginning his career at St. Bonaventure. He also served the university as vice president for Academic Affairs from 1981 to 1994. He specialized in business policy and union-management relations as a professor. Dr. Michael Fischer, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, remembers Watson fondly “John has been my mentor and a dear friend for 26 years. While these are relationships that I hold dearly, I know there are countless others among our faculty and staff — and certainly throughout our student body and alumni family — who would claim the same relationship with him. His example is one that has enriched the lives and launched the careers of thousands “While he was set to retire in just a few short weeks, he had pledged to remain involved with us as we realized his dream of a new building for our School of Business. Certainly, our plans in this regard could not be positioned for success without his leadership.” Watson was perhaps most well-known to the extended Bonaventure family as the longtime color analyst for men’s basketball games. He worked alongside WPIG play-by-play

man Gary Nease for the last 10 years. “The St. Bonaventure athletic department has lost a valued member of our family,” said Steve Campbell, associate athletic director for internal operations. “John was more than the father of our athletic director Steve, more than a highly competent radio analyst on our men’s basketball broadcasts, and more than a friend to our departmental initiatives. “He was a part of the fabric and foundation that makes St. Bonaventure such an extraordinary institution. We will miss him dearly.”

Watson had been Dean of the School of Business forthe last four years. It wasWatson’s second stint as dean; he served in that role from 1976 to 1984.

Bona’s Wins National ContestStudent Disaster-Relief Organization Awarded New Cargo-Trailor

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., — BonaResponds, St. Bonaventure University’s volunteer disaster-relief organization, is usually the one riding to the rescue of people in need. But recently, James Mahar Jr., associate professor of fi nance at St. Bonaventure and founder of BonaResponds, found his group on the receiving end, taking delivery of a new, light-weight, aluminum fl atbed trailer won in a national contest – a contest Mahar didn’t even know his group was entered in. The chain of events began last fall when Olean pharmacist Vic Vena, a longtime friend of the university, went online to register for a warranty for a Featherlite trailer he had just bought from a Rochester-area dealership. While he was fi lling in the form online, a pop-up promotion offered the chance to enter Featherlite’s national “Win 1, Give 1” trailer contest. “So I clicked on it,” said Vena. He was asked to nominate a non-profi t organization that could use a Featherlite trailer. Vena thought immediately of BonaResponds. BonaResponds was formed in 2006 when nearly 300 St. Bonaventure and community volunteers went to the Gulf Coast to help recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina. It was the largest service trip in the history of the university. The organization has since made repeated return trips to the Gulf and has answered calls for assistance from Buffalo to Alabama, and all across Western New York. Vena had spearheaded his

own hurricane relief effort to aid employees of a sister pharmacy in the New Orleans area who had lost their homes, and he was familiar with the work of BonaResponds through his good friend and retired St. Bonaventure University accounting professor Larry Orisini, who has been active with the group since its formation. “Larry would often say to me, ‘Man, we could get so much more done if we only had a trailer,’” said Vena. So in his nominating essay, Vena described BonaResponds’ long record of service and the commitment of students who sacrifi ce their breaks and vacations to go on relief missions, then noted that the group is “rich in spirit, but poor in resources,” and could “really, really, really use a trailer.” Mahar only learned about the contest when Vena called him just before Christmas to tell him that BonaResponds had won. Mahar

and student volunteers were on hand Wednesday to accept delivery of the trailer from Dean Davis of Davis Trailer World near Rochester, a Featherlite dealer. “This is going to make such a difference,” said Mahar, noting transportation is one of the group’s biggest challenges. “Sometimes we have to decide between taking people or supplies to a job site, and now we can take both. This is exactly what we needed.” St. Bonaventure senior Rob Ryer, a senior physical education major from Lockport whohas made eight service trips with BonaResponds, said the trailer is more than a vehicle for hauling goods to job sites. Said Ryer, “This new trailer will not only help transport the tools needed to change the lives of the individuals and families we touch, but will also help transport those we touch into the next chapter of their lives, a better chapter.”

St. Bonaventure’s BonResponds volunteer disaster-relief organization was awarded an aluminum Featherlite fl atbed trailer in a national contest sponsored by Featherlite.

The City of Salamanca has reason to celebrate. The Historic Dudley Hotel has received yet another amazing facelift. In the beginning of April the hotel celebrated the Grand Opening of a brand new restaurant serving up a mix of dishes all with a new signature “fl air.” Meet Laura Dorfman. She’s the reason the Dudley is not only open, but seeing more and more visitors with each passing month. When she decided to take over four years ago, most would have just run away, but she saw potential and opportunity where others saw certainty of failure. She’s a dreamer, but perhaps even better than that? She’s also a doer. Dorfman has given the Dudley Hotel her all. She has fully committed to bringing it back as one of Salamanca’s premiere establishments and preserving the local history that is found in every brick of the building. The 47 rooms have been renovated and now have a clean and modern feel. The lobby has been restored and offers a mixed setting comprising classical and modern tastes. The restaurant that for years

saw little traffi c has offi cially re-opened with a motivated staff and an all new menu and appearance. “Engine 132,” she calls it. The establishment will celebrate the Salamanca Railroad Era with train memorabilia and themes running throughout the restaurant including a gigantic wall-sized mural depicting train tracks. Dorfman has truly taken on a daunting task with all of this. It’s impressive. “When I closed the restaurant

a couple years ago I decided to come up with a whole new feel and a brand new menu with signature dishes to make them “The Dudley’s,” Dorfman says, “You will still fi nd normal

Laura Dorfman: Chicago Native Works to Revitalize Salamanca

items on the menu such as our BLT, but everyone has a BLT. I wanted something to make it ours, so we do ours with a fried red tomato and peppercorn-ranch mayonnaise.” But that’s not all. Dorfman is also deeply involved in the community. She cares more than it seems a person as busy as her would have time for. However, following the Fancher Furniture fi re in Salamanca last may, Dorfman offered up her conference for the planning of an award ceremony and fundraiser for Salamanca’s Firefi ghters. “I just felt strongly that there should be a public ‘thank you’ for the efforts of all those involved with the fi re,” she states, “throughout that night I thought the Dudley was surely going to catch fi re and I would lose it. The fact they were able to save all we did was just amazing.” Dorfman is a hard-working executive board member of the Salamanca Chamber of Commerce and offers whatever

she can to the city whenever it is in need. She’s truly admirable and has a passion for the community of Salamanca that might lead you to think she was born here. That, however, is entirely not the case. In reality, Dorfman moved to Salamanca from her hometown of Chicago, IL. Growing up, she moved all over the country attending some 21 different schools. Now a resident of Salamanca, Dorfman is constantly asked why she left the metropolis of Chicago for an area like Salamanca? Her answer is simple. “When I left my condo overlooking Lake Michigan, I cried because I would miss the view so much,” She says, “But then I came here, and I remember walking my dog in the State Park and getting my fi rst glimpse of the autumn trees refl ecting on Red House Lake, and I cried for the exact same reason. There’s beauty everywhere, you just have to fi nd it.”

Day Trippin’Buffalo’s Broadway Market In Full Swing this Holiday Season

BY DEAN WHITCOMB,VILLAGER STAFF

Still looking for a family activity for this Easter Season? Still have a few goodies on your list for basket stuffers? Don’t worry, you don’t have to look far and you’re not out of time…yet! Just make a short drive up to Buffalo, NY to Broadway Market. You’ll not only fi nd all of your Easter needs, but much, much more! According to the market’s

website, “Broadway Market is 121 years old. Started by a group of citizens on a city donated parcel at 999 Broadway in 1888, the Broadway Market quickly became a community meeting place–a place ideal for combining business with socializing and for sharing with one another the latest in gossip and news from the old world.“ Over time, the market has

expanded and now covers an entire block, bordered by Broadway, Lombard, and Gibson Streets. From its inception, the market became a place to fi nd many “exotic delicacies as dates from Africa, black olives from Spain, cheeses from Italy, smoked salmon, jellied eels, rare wines and Kosher concoctions, among other unusual and fi ne products.”

Three different “physical structures” have been the home of Broadway Market in its 121 years. “The fi rst Market structure burned down at the turn of the century. It was replaced by a high ceiling building, without heat, but twice as large as the original market. A third structure built in 1956,

is the market’s current home, and has 90,000-square feet of retailing with two levels of free parking for 1,000 cars. In the mid-1980’s the City undertook a multi-million dollar renovation of the building which improved both lighting and access.” Although famous for its “old world shopping” atmosphere and experience, along with its reputation for selling exotic goods, there really is no time of year quite like the Easter season at Broadway Market! During this season, the market showcases several live acts and performances from local performers. The Easter Bunny himself makes a trip to the market daily throughout the

season to see all of the children that make their way through in time for Easter Sunday! And it doesn’t stop there. On Saturday, April 16th 2011 at 1:00 P.M, Broadway Market held “The 3rd Annual Broadway Market Peep Eating Contest. It truly is a site and an experience to behold. Broadway Market is a must-see for you and your family, and is especially so during this Easter Season! Take a family day-trip today and see what all the hype is about! For more information on Broadway Market, a full schedule of upcoming live performances, or for any other inquiries, visit www.broadwaymarket.org.

Architectural DigestNo Need to Rough It

Walking up to unit nine I was struck by the excellent landscaping and stone stairs leading up to the front door. The heavy front door opens to the bottom level. Here there was a family or game room, two bedrooms and a full bath. The dining and kitchen area have beautiful stone tile fl oors. The dining area can accommodate a large dining table, and has a sliding glass door out to the back deck. The U shaped kitchen is large enough to allow the cook some creativity, and the breakfast bar lets the guests sit close enough to supervise. The sink in the corner of the counter creates a more open work fl ow for the chef. Across the parking lot from unit nine is number fi ve. It’s and end unit, the back of which has the view out to the mountains. The front door here opens to the main living level. The kitchen and dining areas are divided from the living room by handsome wood fl ooring. The breakfast bar makes up one side of the U shaped work area. Here again are beautiful corian counter tops, that blend with the fl oors and window trim. The white country French cabinets provide an accent to the woodwork, and set a civilized tone.

Looking past the kitchen and into the great room the fi rst thing I see out the window are the slopes at HoliMont. The cathedral ceiling looms high overhead. High up on the back wall, over the sliding glass door is an elegant triangular window. It’s a master touch that raises the room out of the ordinary. In the corner is a handsome stone and gas fi replace. Peaking out over the deck I realize you can also see the runs at Holiday Valley.

STORY AND PHOTOSBY JOHN THOMAS

STAFF WRITER

Some of our more “established” residents of town have told me about carrying their skis up Greer Hill in order to take a few runs down a nonexistent ski area. At the time there were few houses, no condos, and no hotels anywhere around. Skiing was only for the most hardy individuals, and the idea of a ski vacation was a fantasy. They didn’t even think about golf. A lot has changed since then and we are the better for it: two ski areas, a golf course and an abundance of places to stay for a ski get away. Chief among those places would have to be the Mountain View condos. Tucked up against the hillside next to the Arboretum, this attractive stone and wood complex sets the gold standard for affordable vacation homes. Built in fi ve sections of fi ve condos each, the nicely landscaped development has the high end look you might expect to fi nd at Vail or Tahoe. I had the chance to check out a couple of them. Walking up to unit nine I

was struck by the excellent landscaping and stone stairs

leading up to the front door. The heavy front door opens to the bottom level. Here there was a family or game room, two bedrooms and a full bath. On the main level is a large living room with a stone lined gas-burning fi replace in the corner. A sliding glass door leads out to a deck with views of HoliMont and Holiday Valley. Just off the living room is a dry bar that has a built in wine cooler. The dining and kitchen area have beautiful stone tile fl oors. The dining area can accommodate a large dining table, and has a sliding glass door out to the back deck. The U shaped kitchen is large enough to allow the cook some creativity, and the breakfast bar lets the guests sit close enough to supervise. The sink in the corner of the counter creates a more open work fl ow for the chef. The beautiful wood cabinets blend with the colors in the corian counter tops and fl oor, and the stainless steel appliances add a modern counterpoint. The stove and oven are gas fi red. Upstairs is a generous sized master bedroom suite. Across the parking lot from unit nine is number fi ve. It’s

and end unit, the back of which has the view out to the mountains. The front door here opens to the main living level. Here there is good sized entry area with a tile fl oor, closet and bench to allow the area to serve as a mud room. Looking past the kitchen and into the great room the fi rst thing I see out the window are the slopes at HoliMont. The cathedral ceiling looms high overhead. High up on the back wall, over the sliding glass door is an elegant triangular window. It’s a master touch that raises the room out of the ordinary. In the corner is a handsome stone and gas fi replace. Peaking out over the deck I realize you can also see the runs at Holiday Valley. The kitchen and dining areas are divided from the living room by handsome wood fl ooring. The breakfast bar makes up one side of the U shaped work area. Here again are beautiful corian counter tops, that blend with the fl oors and window trim. The white country French cabinets provide an accent to the woodwork, and set a civilized tone. A staircase going up from the main level leads to the master suite. It’s a generous

size for a condo, and features a cozy sitting area. Back on the main fl oor a second staircase goes down to the lower level. Here is a family or game room that could be the hub of the entertainment center. A glass door leads to a patio. Down a hall are two bedrooms and a full bath. Although the two units vary a bit in layout and size, they

are linked by a common sense of quality and sophistication. In both cases the choice of materials and décor is fi rst rate; elevating the homes several notches above the common ski condo. They could easily be a family’s year round residence, or a favorite get away spot. Add to this that the condos are a short walk to the park, downtown, a short drive to the

slopes, and you have an ideal resort destination. Those hearty souls who trudged up Greer Hill years ago would have been delighted to have had these places to stay. No need to rough it at all.

Glad You Did or Whish You Had

Motivational InspirationBY, DR. DIONNE KRESS

I have entered that phase in my life where I have started to refl ect upon the legacy I want to leave behind. When I reach the end of my life, I want to be able to say, “I am gald I did” and not “I wish I had”. My intention in writing about the end of life is not to be morbid, but to be real and understand that someday each of our lives will end. The passing of my grandfather at the prime old age of 95 has inspired my thoughts and refl ection. My grandfather lived a long healthy life coming full circle and passing on his exact birthday, March 31, 2011. Although it was sad to say good-bye, he left my family and I with many great memories, pictures, and memorabilia each allowing us to keep him close to our hearts. As my grandpa and I spent his last days together, I could not help but wonder how he

was feeling about the life he had lived. I wondered if he realized the memories he had left with our family or the signifi cant moments we all shared and loved. As I sat by his bedside, I also began to wonder what my last days would look like. Who would be there surrounding me with love, support, safety, and confi dence that it was ok to move on to the next phase of life. The end of our life is not typically something we want to think about, but something we need to consider because it is at that moment that nothing else really matters and the legacy of our life comes alive. Sitting with my grandpa refl ecting upon life made me realize that I need to engage in life in a meaningful way living each moment to the fullest. I not only want to live a long healthy life I want to live life as someone who cares, someone who has made an impact upon

the lives of others. Because at the end of life it is not about wealth, material possessions, or accomplishments it is about the way people remember you and the difference you made in their lives. Close your eyes for a few minutes and image it is your 95th birthday. Your family, friends, children, and grandchildren are there with you, what are they saying about you? What are you feeling about the life you have lived? Are you able to say, “I am glad I did” or “I wish I had”. Remember this, you will never have more time than you do right now. Life is short, death is long. Don’t be afraid to think about the end of life, it is inevitable and out of our control. Wake up each day and make life meaningful. Live it, breathe it, taste it, smell, it feel it! Don’t just live the length of life, live the width of it as well (D.Ackerman).

Natural Male Enhancement

HealthwiseBY LILIAN DIRITO

WELLNESS CONSULTANT

For most people, intimacy is an essential part of a meaningful, lasting relationship. But age, stress and other factors can affect intimacy and unfortunately put strain on an otherwise-healthy relationship. Lack of libido, prostate infl ammation, circulatory problems, fatigue, debility, can cause impotency or lack of libido in men. There are herbs and nutrients known for their ability to help improve male reproductive function, enhance energy and virility, and support a healthy prostate gland in men. Good circulation is crucial. This vital function of the body can get burdened from lack of exercise, toxicity in the colon, poor nutrition, etc. X-Action for Men Reloaded contains a powerful blend of herbs and nutrients to support male sexual health and vitality, which may lead to greater intimacy and stronger relationships. The benefi ts of this formula have been well researched and studied. Some of the ingredients, for instance pomegranate fruit extract, has

been shown to increase nitric oxide levels, which improves blood fl ow. Additional studies show that pomegranate juice supports erectile function. L-arginine an important aminoacid and a biological precursor to nitric oxide shows that Nitric Oxide (NO) plays a key role in smooth muscle relaxation, increased blood fl ow and activation of chemical messengers in the erectile tissue. This combination helps to support male sexual health in three ways: increased blood fl ow, sexual desire and prolonged sexual response. According to some research, erectile function is principally mediated by relaxation of smooth muscle and increased blood fl ow within the corpus cavernosum. More ingredients are: damiana, a restorative herb for the nervous system. Damiana has a long- standing reputation as an aphrodisiac and has traditionally been used to treat sexual disorders such as frigidity in women and male impotency. Muira Puama stem extract, according to Herballure research it is also known as “potency wood” and considered one of the best herbs to use for cases of erectile dysfunction

and decreased libido. Popular in South American folk medicine, muira puama has shown libido-enhancing effects in two human clinical studies. Another ingredient is Saw Palmetto berries, which have been used for hormonal disorders such as impotence, reduced or absent sex drive, and testicular atrophy, and urinary disorders. Herballure research indicates that DHEA, another ingredient in X-Action Reloaded, is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, which acts as a precursor for all other steroid hormones in the body, including sex hormones (i.e. estrogen, progesterone, testosterone). Numerous research studies have been conducted that indicate DHEA plays a vital role in the aging process and age related deterioration. Unfortunately DHEA levels progressively decline with age, beginning in the late 20’s- research indicates that by age 70, most individuals register ¼ of the DHEA levels found in 25 years old. Other ingredients of X-Action Reloaded are: oat straw extract, epimedium leaf extract standardized to icariin content, maca root extract and yohimbe root.

Pants on Fire

Truth or ConsequencesEditorial

BY DOUG ARROWSMITH

You’re a liar. He’s a liar. She’s a liar. We’re all liars. It should come as no surprise that our politicians sometimes bend the truth to achieve their goals but, recent events have illustrated, many of our elected offi cials have begun to, not only lie, but to defend their lies by simply bullying their way towards more half truths and idiotic sloganeering. Lies get us into wars. They mold budgets. They get scumbags elected to offi ce and, sometimes, they get people killed. Lying, it turns out, is the new national pastime. Take GOP Rep. John Kyl for example. He took to the fl oor of the house recently to defend his party’s recent “we hate poor people” budget proposals. While speaking he took aim at Planned Parenthood by stating that 90% of their business comes from providing abortions. Almost immediately following his statements it was pointed out by CNN and virtually everyone who heard him speak that only 3% of Planned Parenthoods services are abortion related. Liar! The real shocker here, however, is the nonchalant way Kyl’s offi ce responded to the fact that the Congressman had just been caught in a great big fat lie. They said that his claim was not intended to be a factual statement but was merely meant to point out that Planned Parenthood uses federal money to subsidize abortions, which, by the way, was another

lie. So, according to Kyl’s people, it’s OK to lie as long as it’s for a good cause? I’ll keep that in mind when his term is up. Remember, everything I say about him will be for a good cause. Of course this wasn’t an isolated incident. Almost every politician gets caught bending the truth eventually. Now, however, they don’t even apologize or even act surprised when they get caught. It’s that shocking nonchalance I mentioned earlier that really bugs me. These dime store thugs really have no shame. Michelle “I don’t need no stinking book learnin’” Bachman rode Kyl’s dubious wave by stating that Planned Parenthood has become the “Lens Crafters” of abortions. Glenn Beck stated that only hookers used Planned Parenthood. You see what happened here right? Once the message gets out there’s no stopping it. The truth be damned. This how the Birthers feed themselves. Speaking of birthers and the death of truth. Lets talk Donald Trump for a minute. Earlier this year when the Donald decided that he could be President he realized that facts couldn’t get him elected. Facts, it turns out, meant he would actually have to learn something and that might get in the way of his reality television career. The Donald rooted around for a while like a pig hunting truffl es until he latched onto the juiciest, most rancid morsel

he could fi nd. The Birther biscuit. Lets start out by saying that President Obama’s birth certifi cate has been available online since this fi rst became an issue. Newspapers in Hawaii issued birth announcements when he was born and virtually all of Obama’s childhood friends have come to his defense. All of those FACTS are merely an inconvenience to those who fi nd it inconceivable that an intelligent black man could also be an American. To the Birthers, Obama is somehow different and it’s that “difference” that drives their Lunacy. The Donald? He knows the truth but he needs the rabidity of the Birther movement to gain traction in a fi eld of actual politicians. How nuts is the Donald? FOX just gave him a timeslot. That should tell you something. So here we are. Sitting in our little made-up realities waiting for the next dishonest Messiah to lead America back to the make believe tranquility of life before inconveniences like civil rights and Planned Parenthood. This is the world these people want. They want the Cleaver’s on every corner and a shoe shine boy in every train station. They want Ike in the White House and Pat Freaking Boone on the radio. They want poor folks fi ghting their “throw away wars” and they want you and me to shut the hell up. They’re willing to do anything to get there and they wont let the truth get in their way.

regions freeze/thaw cycle, in which water from melting snow seeps into cracks in the blacktop

where it re-freezes. As the water freezes, it expands, forcing out pieces of the pavement. She said that NYSDOT crews would be busy fi lling potholes around the region due to the normal cycle and as preventative maintenance to seal the pavement to prevent water

seepage, but that she does not expect an increase in the number of repairs due to this year’s harsh weather. According to the NYSDOT, the project will cost about $410,000, and the federal and state governments are funding the project.

Queen of Maple Fest, according to Mike Brisky, public relations representative. The breakfast costs $6 for adults and $5 for children and seniors, Brisky said. Then at 9 a.m. the Maple

Festival SAPS Race gets underway. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. behind the Franklinville High School. The races include a 10K, 5K walking course or a 2.5K. People can sign up both the day of or beforehand by contacting Norman Moore at 716-372-8184 or by emailing him at [email protected]. The fees are: $12.50 for public early registration, $10 for TTS member’s early registration, $15 the day of the race and $50 for school teams, which includes all team members. Early registration must be received by April 28. All the proceeds from the SAPS race go to support the Franklinville High School Student Council. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. there

will be an Antique Gas Engine Show at Fireman’s Field, located north of the elementary school. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. there will be many different events happening at the elementary school: maple products sales and sugaring demonstrations, including evaporator and

museum artifacts in front of the school; business exhibits and services; and a craft show and sale with over 150 vendors, including arts & crafts, novelties and the favorite, locally made maple syrup and maple products, according to the festival’s Facebook page. 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. will be the Blount Library Book Sale, located at the library on Main Street. At 11 a.m. fl oats, music, horses and much more will be fi lling Main Street during the Maple Festival Parade.

Brisky said the festival brings in many people even beyond the regular western New Yorkers. “More than 10,000 people come, but closer to 20,000,” he said. People can fi nd out more information about any of the events, including how to register or get involved in the festival by visiting http://www.franklinvilleny.org/maple-fest.php.

calendar year, “with no issues.” The board approved a resolution concerning Win Sum Ski Corporation’s application to the IDA for the Sky Coaster, which Holiday Valley plans to build on their complex this spring. Wiktor notes, “That was roughly a fi ve and a half million dollar request to the IDA back in February.” A similar resolution is for Scott Rotary Seals, which is building a new facility for their company in Olean. The resolutions basically “clean those projects up to deliver their benefi ts, now that we’ve gone through the public hearing and all the environmental fi ndings.” The benefi ts for Win Sum are sales tax abatements. For Scott Rotary Seals, the board approved a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement, sales tax, and mortgage recording tax abatements. As for the Everpower wind turbine project, the IDA has not received an application from the company. Wiktor says, “This (the

presentation) was more or less an update to the IDA board. We’ve had a few discussions over the last year or two, but not many, because on a project like this it’s all done on a local level.” Sheen answered questions from the board while addressing concerns raised by some residents about noise and the visual impact of wind turbines. The IDA raised no objections while Sheen noted his company’s intention to press ahead with the project. Wiktor noted, “wind projects are eligible for IDA abatements. But again, we’re not in receipt of any application, and none is proposed. It’s potentially an option, though.” Wiktor expects to have conversations about offering benefi ts to Bonaventure Square over the next thirty days. Board members are embracing the project, which calls for a “Planned Unit Development” across from St. Bonaventure University. Wiktor feels the project is worthy of real estate, property tax, and sales tax abatements. “It’s a matter of how many components would be eligible, or what wouldn’t be eligible for the project. We as a board need to see what benefi ts we can deliver to the various

components of the project.” Developer Craig Marlatt of Ross Wilson and Associates assured the board of their intention to get the project moving. Bonaventure Square will include apartments, a hotel, bookstore, retail outlets, entertainment, offi ces, and Sports Complex. The latest renderings were done by a new architect, Lauer Manguso & Associates, who were chosen for the work on March 31st. The “SportsPlex” is a $25 to $30 million project and would include an ice arena and facilities for baseball, softball, or golf. “So it’s really a multi-purpose fi eld house,” according to Wiktor. The name of the hotel has not been made public, though it is a nationally known entity. Developers will fi rst focus on putting up the apartments and bookstore, with initial construction to begin in August of this year. The IDA adopted a policy to deliver benefi ts to homeowners, small businesses, and farmers that install their own renewable or alternative energy source, such as solar panels, a wind turbine, or a methane digester. Wiktor says, “Basically they will receive a fi fteen year property tax exemption at no cost.”

bad?” She added that Holiday Valley, HoliMont and most of the town is dependent on local well water. Supervisor Burrell pointed out, “there are two sides to the issue, as is the case with any issue.” A gentleman pointed out, “Ellicottville is a tourist community and if that means they don’t drill a couple of wells in this community, ‘so be it.’” Supervisor Burrell mentioned that so far no one has approached the board with any proposal to dig wells in town. But the same man pointed out that the landowner makes the decision to lease the land to the well operator, and thus doesn’t need board approval. The woman made a statement that a homeowner in Concord has a gas well on her property and now her well water is fl ammable. Another man spoke up and said that he considered the wells “inevitable,” and asked, “are we going to be left with the mess that hydro fracking leaves

behind?” John Burrell said that he wanted the board to get all the information (on fracking) and promised to put the subject on the agenda for the next meeting. In other business the board held a discussion with Joseph Emminger of Emminger Newton Pigeon and Magyar Inc. a property appraisal fi rm. The board has enlisted his fi rm to re-appraise the properties in the town. Mr. Emminger pointed out that Ellicottville is a particularly diffi cult town to appraise fairly.

John Burrell said that a high percentage of properties in town are sold furnished, and that often the cost of the furniture is included in the price. When appraisals are done of the properties the appraisal is often at least 10% higher due to the contents of the house. This has the effect of raising everybody’s tax rates. Mr. Emminger said that the process of re-appraising the residential properties in town was “to breed fairness and equity into the system.”

Supervisor Burrell mentioned that so far no one has approached the board with any proposal to dig wells in town. Stars on the above map indicate the locations of active wells.
