ELLICOTTVILLE - On Tuesday, August 23, 2011 and Wednesday, August 24, 2011, parents with school age children that have moved into the Ellicottville Central School District over the summer are invited to report to the school between the hours of 7:30 am and 2:00 pm to register for the 2011-2012 school year. Parents should

bring a copy of their child’s / children’s birth certificate(s) with them when coming in to register, as well as a report card from their child’s / children’s previous school. For students in grades 6-12, a guidance counselor will be on hand to discuss scheduling options and needs. While an appointment is not necessary on these days, parents / guardians

are encouraged to contact Tina Barrett, registrar, at 699-2318 to set up a specific meeting time and discuss any other paperwork that may be needed for registration. In the meantime, parents/guardians can contact the middle / high school at 699-2316 or the elementary school at 699-2318 if they have additional questions.

Who would think a little bow shooting competition would be such an important event? Imagine my surprise when I learned that over 2,000 competitors from all over the world will be right here in Ellicottville this week competing in the 2011 World Championships. That’s 2,000 competitors – don’t forget to add in the families, coaches, sponsors and spectators to that number. And that’s a whole lot of folks, folks! If you’re fond of people watching (and who isn’t, honestly), this will be a really fun weekend. And if you’re a bowhunting enthusiast, you’ll be in some sort of bowhunting nirvana, I suppose. This is

going to be an awesome event to be around, for sure. Has anyone noticed this is the third weekend in a row where we’ve had “big doings” around our beautiful village? We are jumping from one event to the next with the IBO into Children’s First Fest. Is there any reason why someone should be bored this summer? I say all this is in the true spirit of what Ellicottville is all about. You have to love it here… So, dear readers, let’s roll out the Ellicottville ‘Welcome Mat’ for all our visitors this weekend – after all, they help make this place the special destination we all know it is. Until next week… JZ

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Aug. 5, 2011 — Following a distinguished nine-year term of service, Associate Vice President and Executive Director of the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts, Joseph A. LoSchiavo, will step down as the center’s leader effective Dec. 31, 2011, to pursue new professional opportunities. “While we certainly respect Joe’s decision and wish him the very best, we sincerely regret the loss of his leadership for the Quick Center for the Arts. He will leave us having accomplished significant milestones and having generated national and international recognition of our museum, University collection, and our institution’s capacity to present major exhibitions,” said Brenda L. McGee, Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration. University President Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., said that LoSchiavo’s commitment to enriching the artistic and cultural opportunities of citizens throughout the Twin Tiers region will be his legacy. “Joe ran with the university’s vision to establish the Quick Center as a world-class museum and cultural hub of the region. Through his efforts, some 6,000 school children visit the center each year, and citizens throughout the region have had access to outstanding art and performance experiences.” Under LoSchiavo’s leadership, the Quick Center has realized accomplishments in several areas ranging from operations and fundraising to growth of the permanent collection and development of partnerships worldwide. Specifically, fund raising has yielded more than

$900,000 in grants and more than $2.5 million in gifts, including annual grants from organizations such as the New York State Council on the Arts. Such efforts have reduced the center’s dependence on the University’s operating budget by 55 percent. At the same time, the museum’s holdings have increased significantly through purchases, gifts, and long-term loan agreements, including a Sackler Foundation loan and participation in the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. Also during his service, the exhibition schedule increased by more than 50 percent from 11 exhibitions in 2002-2003 to an average of 16 per year in the subsequent seven years. Conservation activity increased threefold, supported by grants and individual giving, and the center established a financially self-sustaining professional performance series of nine programs per year, in partnership with The Friends of Good Music and nationally-recognized classical music organizations, such as the Liederkranz Foundation and the Concert Artists Guild. “What he has been able to accomplish in just eight short years is nothing short of extraordinary,” said Marianne Laine, chair of the Guild for the Quick Center. “Joe has taken the Quick Center from virtual obscurity to national and international levels of acclaim. He will be very difficult to replace, and I am grateful to him for bringing to our region his distinctive expertise, experience, and commitment.”

Widely acclaimed exhibitions curated under LoSchiavo’s leadership include: Walls Speak: The Narrative Art of Hildreth Meière, an exhibition that originated at the Quick Center in 2009, on view at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. (March through December 2011) and at the Museum of Biblical Art in New York (February through May 2012). Art of Sky, Art of Earth: Maya Cosmic Imagery, based on the Quick Center’s extensive Maya holdings, originated at the center in 2008, traveled to the Museum of Anthropology at Wake Forest University as part of an exchange with that museum’s African collection (2009 through 2012). “When I was brought to St. Bonaventure in 2002, my commitment was to stay for five years. It has now been more than eight years, which have been among the most gratifying and productive of my career. I am very proud of what we have achieved in that time and I feel that the Quick Center is now well positioned for a future of both growth and stability,” said LoSchiavo. Ludwig Brunner, who has served as Assistant Director of the Quick Center since 2007, will serve as Interim Executive Director through Dec. 31, 2012. LoSchiavo will remain in consultation with the University through May 31, 2012. Brunner has served the university since 2003 when he was named Programming Consultant for the Quick Center. Shortly thereafter, he became Director of Programming before assuming the role of Asst. Director in 2007.

Reed Joins Bipartisan GroupCongressman Fights Against Further Burdens of Small Businesses

Congressman Tom Reed has joined a bipartisan group of 18 Senators and Representatives to send a letter to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis asking her to rescind the new H-2B regulations the Department of Labor plans to implement in October. “We have heard from businesses in the district which are very concerned about the new H2-B regulations,” Reed explained. “In a challenging economy where every job is critical, we should not be adding burdens which might force small businesses into closure.” The H-2B program is important for small businesses and year-round employees

whose positions are reliant upon seasonal laborers during peak seasons. Examples of industries that utilize H-2B workers include seasonal landscaping services, janitorial services, hotels, restaurants and amusement and recreation. The proposed changes would make the program much costlier for small, seasonal employers and include mandatory wage increases and a more complicated and expensive hiring process for H-2B workers. “This is an example of Washington bureaucrats making a decision which might look good in some government office but costs local jobs. For the sake of preserving small business

jobs, I urge Secretary Solis to rescind the new regulations,” Reed said, adding that the new rules also directly conflict with President Obama’s January Executive Order that calls for the elimination of excessive and unjustified burdens on small businesses. The H-2B effort comes three weeks after Congressman Reed and other members of the New York Congressional delegation pressed the labor department for improvements in the H-2A process for agrarian workers. “We have to get government out of the way of business,” Reed said. “These are local jobs that are critical to our upstate economy.”

What to Do With A Gas HogEconomical Solutions for the Fight at the Pump

August, 2011 - The economy continues to struggle and gas prices remain high. The cost to fill up the gas tank in an average car is over $60. If that is breaking your budget, there are two things you can do about it. You can either try to improve your gas mileage or replace you car with a fuel efficient one. To improve your cars gas mileage, make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under inflated tires can cost you up to 2 miles per gallon. Then, replace your air filter regularly and put in new spark plugs every 30,000

miles. The smoother your car runs, the better its gas mileage. Remove anything from your car you do not really need. The more weight in your car, the more gas it will use. Also, remove your roof rack when you are not using it and put a bed cover on your pickup truck. This will reduce drag and give you 2 or 3 more mpg. Of course, the ultimate gas saver is to slow down. The faster you drive, the more gas your car will use. If you get a fuel-efficient car, you have to figure out what to do with the gas-guzzler.

The dealership won’t want it because there is no demand for them. It will be difficult to sell privately for the same reason. You can sell it for parts at a junkyard, or you can donate your car to charity. Cars4Charities will gladly take your gas-guzzler. In return, you will get a tax deduction of the amount they sell it for or $500 whichever is more. They have hundreds of charities that can be helped by your car donation. For details, please go to http://www.cars4charities.org/ or call 866.448.3487.

Governor Signs SUNY 2020Assemblyman Giglio Announces Passing of Legislation

OLEAN, N.Y. – Assemblyman Joseph M. Giglio (R,I,C – Gowanda) today announced that Governor Cuomo has signed the SUNY 2020 legislation. SUNY 2020 calls for enhanced investment in the State University of New York to allow the university system to become an engine for economic and academic growth. The legislation will also make SUNY more sustainable with a

rational tuition policy. “I’m really pleased that the Legislature and the Governor worked together to solidify the future of the State University system in the State of New York. SUNY 2020 offers a sustainable future for SUNY campuses and students, enhances the academic programs and helps each university to become a force in regional economic development,” said

Assemblyman Giglio. Assemblyman Giglio continued, “It is equally as important that SUNY 2020 contained provisions for a rational tuition policy for all SUNY campuses. Rather than dealing with sudden and drastic increases in tuition, this policy will offer a predictable system that will allow students, parents and families to plan ahead for college expenses.”

Haunted Southern TierElizabeth Tucker Reveals Tales of the Supernatural in So. Tier

New York’s Southern Tier and its many communities abound with legends about strange, intriguing events. Stories of ghosts and other supernatural phenomena create an aura of foreboding and mystery. Tortured souls try to escape from the Inebriate Asylum in Binghamton; Native American treasure lies buried beneath the banks of the Susquehanna River; grandeur and heartbreak haunt Wellsville’s Pink House; and locals speculate

about the identity of a young woman in white who walks “Devil’s Bend” in Owego. Local learning institutions are also fraught with otherworldly beings—Elmira College, SUNY Fredonia and Binghamton University students all tell stories about the paranormal. Folklorist Elizabeth Tucker tells these and other eerie legends of haunted homes, mansions, churches, parks and cemeteries of the Southern Tier.

Elizabeth Tucker is a professor of English at Binghamton University, where she teaches folklore. She has written two books about ghost stories: Campus Legends and Haunted Halls: Ghostlore of American College Campuses. She learned to tell stories as a Girl Scout in Washington, D.C., and as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa. One of her greatest joys is learning and telling ghost stories of upstate New York.

SBU Signs Final RecruitBonnies Basketball Program Completes 2011 Recruiting Class

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – Men’s basketball head coach Mark Schmidt announced the signing of sophomore guard Charlon Kloof to an athletics grant in aid on Thursday. Kloof will have three years of remaining eligibility with the Bonnies. A native of Paramaribo, Suriname, the 6-foot-3 point guard played one season at Guilford Technical Community College in North Carolina before spending last year at Canarias Basketball Academy, a prep school in Spain’s Canary Islands. “The situation the program is in - they just keep getting better and better,” said Kloof via

phone from the Netherlands. “I like people who want to get better, that’s what excites me most [about the Bonnies], and hopefully I’ll get better too. Kloof’s 2010-11 Season at CBA in Spain included stateside tournaments at Seton Hall and Rhode Island, among others, in addition to international play. While at Guilford in 2009-10, Kloof posted season averages of 12.1 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game while shooting 53 percent from the floor in 24 games. “We’re getting an athletic, scoring guard, who has a great ability to defend: quick, aggressive, strong and can push the ball,” said Schmidt on the

newest member of the Bonnies. “He’s somebody that’s a little bit older, mature, has played a lot of basketball, someone that’s really excited to come over here and play in the states. He’s somebody that I think fits what we’re trying to do.” The sophomore completes an impactful recruiting class that includes freshman G Jordan Gathers, junior F Chris Johnson, junior G Eric Mosley and freshman C Youssou Ndoye. The Bonnies, who finished last season with the school’s first winning record and postseason berth since 2002-03, return four of five starters including All-America candidate Andrew Nicholson.

WSBU FM Back on TopLocal University Radio Station Voted Best in the Nation

St. Bonaventure University’s student-run radio station, WSBU-FM 88.3 The Buzz, has once again reached the top of the charts. Just four years after being ranked No. 1 in the “Best College Radio Station” category, WSBU hit the top spot again this year in The Princeton Review’s annual college guide, which ranked St. Bonaventure as one of the nation’s “Best 376 Colleges.” The station previously held the top spot in 2007 then dropped to No. 2 in 2008 and 2009, and to No. 4 in 2010. Rankings reporting the top 20 colleges for radio stations, along with more than 50 other categories, are in the 2011 edition of The Princeton Review’s annual college guide, which was released Tuesday.

The station, founded in 1948, prides itself on broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering a variety of music, including modern rock, alternative and hip-hop, along with news, sports and specialty shows. In February, WSBU was also voted one of the 10 finalists for mtvU’s 2011 College Radio Woodie Award. WSBU — located on the

Web at www.wsbufm.net — has been ranked among the top five college radio stations in the Princeton Review survey for more than a decade. The rankings are based on an 80-question survey sent to more than 122,000 students across the nation covering topics such as social life, fellow students, campus and community. The Princeton Review is not affiliated with Princeton University.

It isn’t everyday you find this kind of quality in a home that is only steps from the ski slopes. Built in 2004 by the acclaimed builder Jerry Musall, this 3430 square foot home boasts the kind of quality construction and superior woodwork that is had to find anyplace. It’s located at the far end of Greer Hill; Ellicottvilles answer to Vail. Step through the front door and the first thing you’ll notice is the woodwork. Look closely at the oak flooring and you’ll see that instead of the usual thin, almost scrap looking, slats of wood the boards here are wide and long. The wide planks of real oak create a beautiful surface that brings

out the patterns in the wood. The floor seems to almost glow by itself. It’s matched by the elegant fireplace and bookcase built into the family room. All around the home, from the kitchen cabinets, to the bathroom fixtures the woodwork is outstanding. The open floor plan of the main level is perfect for entertaining. Sliding glass doors off the family room open out to a large stone patio. Part of it is covered for year round use, the rest is large enough to set up and outdoor living area. Just off the patio is the Greer Hill run at HoliMont. Slap your skis on and off you go. On the main level also is the laundry room and lots of closet space. Just of the large two car garage is the mud room; equipped with plenty of

Located right next to the Greer Hill lift at HoliMont this home boasts an oversized two car garage, full security system, five bedrooms and three full baths. It’s the type of home you would expect to find at Vail.

Beautiful granite counter tops make up three sides of this U-shaped kitchen. The brick hearth archway encloses the gas fired range and create a rustic atmosphere. A breakfast bar is opposite the sink on the left side. The wide floor planks can be seen on the kitchen floor.

Above: This graceful and elegant living area features a huge stone gas burning fireplace. The superb woodwork can be seen in the built in oak bookcase. Note the open beamed ceiling and wood hearth. Below: The peaked roof of the master bedroom adds to the sense of spaciousness. You can lay in bed and watch the skiers on the slopes. (Bottom Right) From the patio just off the kitchen you can relax and watch the skiers on the Greer Hill lift at HoliMont. A chair can be seen through the trees.

Just off the kitchen is this beautiful alcove with a brick fireplace. Its the perfect spot for reading or a quiet conversation. Over head a beautiful tongue and grove ceiling rises to a turret peak. High up on the wall dividing the living room and kitchen a mural of a Swiss ski area has been painted by a local artist. It even includes real miniature chairs on the chairlift.

cubbies and storage. Upstairs is the master bedroom and bath, with his and hers walk in closets. There is another bedroom, bath and a large bunk room on this level. Downstairs from the main level is a large game room with an entertainment center and foosball table. Two more bedrooms and a full bath round out this floor. Not many homes let you watch the skiers from your family room or kitchen, an none of them does with the kind of elegance and style of this one. It has the warm rustic wood work of a ski cabin and the sophistication of the best of Vail. For more information about this property contact Cathleen Pritchard, licensed broker at ERA Vacation Properties, 716-983-4234.

Inside Business TrackThe Wildwood Grill and Saloon, Salamanca

By eric hunDuniversiTy oF piTTsBurgh

aT BraDForD

The newly opened Wildwood Grill and Saloon in Salamanca is already setting itself up to be one of the go to locations for musical entertainment, quality food and family fun in the area. The Wildwood Grill already has had a performance by a big name band when Rusted Root played during their grand opening last week. Todd Winship, general manager, said the grill would mostly feature local bands and would be free to attend, though some of the bigger name bands, such as Big Leg Emma who will be playing later this year, could require patrons to purchase tickets to attend. The new grill is the culmination of nearly 10 years’ worth of work on the former home and Elks club. The Torge family built the home in the early 1900s, and the Elks Club later purchased the building to use it as their clubhouse in 1922. The American Legion adjacent to the property took over the building after the Elks abandoned the site 17 years ago. Current owner Merle Watt Jr. bought the building 10-years ago, and began a decade long reconstruction project that restored the original hardwood bar, replaced and revitalized stained glass windows, thanks to Don Sibley, a local artist from Ellicottville, and rebuilt worn and damaged sections of the building. Winship added that the American Legion has been supportive of the project, and many of the veterans stop into the grill for food and drinks. The Wildwood Grill takes full advantage of its three floors to create a unique blend of sports

bar, VIP lounge and family dining. The basement level features the family dining area and sports bar with full service bar and pool table, and features five large-screen TV’s and six stadium seats from the Memorial Auditorium, three blue and three orange. The basement level also offers a pool table and dartboard, and Winship said he would like to add a bubble hockey table as well. Winship said he plans to purchase television sports packages so the grill’s patrons can watch football and hockey during their respective seasons. The ground floor features the area’s largest dance floor at 1,000 square feet, a bar and outdoor patio dining area. They designed the stage area to allow bands to quickly and easily setup for the numerous concerts they plan to hold at the site. The buildings first floor contains the Sinatra Lounge, a VIP style lounge and conference area offering a variety of luxuries

including pool tables, Wi-Fi access and high-end liquors, and that can seat about 20 people. Winship said one of the goals for the grill is to offer a safe and relaxing bar scene to the Salamanca area. He added that he makes people well aware that if they act up, or start fights, he will kick them out and not allow them to return. The grill features a range of high-end pub style foods, which include 8-ounce Angus burgers, pizza, chicken wings and steaks. Winship said that he purchases much of the fruits and vegetables from local farmers markets, and that he sometimes has difficulty keeping certain meals, such as the grilled chicken salad, in stock because it is so popular. He added that the grill would serve more hearty fare in the winter, but it would remain pub style food. Wildwood Grill and Saloon is located at 53 Wildwood Ave. in Salamanca, and is open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. To contact the Wildwood Grill and Saloon call 716-244-6886.

Inside Business TrackFarmers Market Brings Fresh Produce to Town

By John ThomassTaFF WriTer

One of the great joys of living in an agriculturally active area is the abundance of fresh vegetables. Until now residents seeking fresh picked vegetables had to travel several miles to a farm stand or make do with the local store. But, now every Friday from 2pm to 6pm in the parking lot of the United Church, Ellicottville residents can chose from the produce of several local farmers. For several years now the church has maintained a food pantry and adding fresh produce seemed a natural extension. Families can also obtain vouchers from the food bank for purchasing vegetables from the market. The market is open to anyone interested in obtaining locally produced food. When it first began, the number of vendors was few, but as time has gone by more vendors are becoming involved and the variety of items for sale has gone up. One of the vendors is Christian Hollow Farm in Great Valley. Each week Jason Keys sells: cucumbers, squash, corn, lettuce and blueberries from the farm. Asked how he got his start, he laughed and said it’s, “pretty much a garden that got out of control.” Wild Acres Family Farm from Great Valley is also there. Cucumbers, squash, green and yellow wax beans, and red potatoes make up the bulk of their produce offerings, but they also have specialty meats such as rabbit and pasture raised turkeys. Chickens are available from time to time and if you are interested in pasture-raised beef, just ask. Also from

Great Valley, Barb Anderson is selling her homemade pies. All her pies are baked right in her home kitchen, and yet she still manages to turn out a bumper crop of banana bread, blueberry, apple, red raspberry pies and tempting cinnamon rolls. To broaden the spectrum of items available Lazy Day Soy Candles sells their homemade soy candles. According to Richard, their candles are made from pure soy, and burn cleaner and longer than their wax

counterparts. He also says the candles have a truer sense of the fragrance in the candle. J. Faulkner Farms from Portville is also selling a dazzling array of fresh produce including squash, and eggplant. The farm is certified naturally grown, and Jim tells me he is working on his organic certification. Really fresh locally grown produce is one of the great joys of summer, the United Church’s farmers market bring the farm right to the center of town.

Jason Keys and his niece Emilee Delity display Christian Hollow Farms freshly grown produce at the farmers market in the United Church’s parking lot, Friday afternoons.

Well, the Tea Party terrorists seem to have finally gotten their way. At least that’s the way it looks from under the bus. Admittedly the view from down here is a bit obstructed. These idiots have managed to stand in the way with their thumbs in their mouths at every hint of reconciliation or compromise and, in the end, our credit rating has been downgraded and our reputation as the worlds last super power is ruined. We’ve become the laughingstocks of the world as everyone else looks at the us like the former superstar older brother who has lost his way. They shake their heads and say “what a shame” as we bumble around the room screaming at each other. The Tea Baggers? They stand above it all smirking and shouting “let them eat cake.” There is no sound reasoning behind the obstructionist wing of the GOP’s economic plan. It’s really quite simple. Without any kind of sensible revenue, spending cuts accomplish nothing. These people are obsessed with cutting so-

called entitlement payments while flat out refusing to even consider ending the Bush era tax cuts. They’ve effectively created the “death panels” they rallied against idiotically while chasing their tales during the health care debate. They see retirees who rely on Medicare and Social Security as the real enemies. They see teachers and civil servants as the entitlement class. They see all poor people as lazy leeches who sit around all day siphoning the wealth of those poor hedge-fund managers who are barely getting by on $5 billion a year. If the original Tea Party shared the beliefs of this current abomination they’d be wearing red coats and tossing tea into the wells of true patriots. Think any of that is an exaggeration? Take, for example, the case of John Paulson. Paulson is one of Mitt Romney’s super doners who made $5 billion last year as a hedge-fund manager. Paulson actually bragged that, due to loop holes and tax-cuts, he paid less in taxes last year then his secretary did. 15% while his secretary paid thirty. These are the good, salt of the earth, folks that the Tea Party fights for. They may have started off with lofty ideals but somewhere along the line they allowed themselves to be corrupted by rich, corporate super entities posing as caring Americans. Most of these poor suckers have no idea what they even stand for anymore except that it has something to do with taxes and ridiculous tri-corner hats. But what about this credit rating thing? Does it really mean anything and should we take anything that Standard and

Poors says seriously? This is the same Standard and Poors that maintained their AAA rating of the mortgage-backed securities that originally led to the global market meltdown in the first place. These so called experts failed to see junk as being junk. How accurate can they really be. They even managed to discount a $3 trillion accounting error in determining our current rating. An error that they made! With a rating of AA+, we now share the stage with those poor, poverty stricken nations like New Zealand and Belgium. What a tragedy. I think it’s the idea of being knocked down a peg that really bothers us. Most of us have no real idea what any of this means but it sure seems to be panicking those Wall Street investors that are, as I write this, having a massive lawn sale. This whole economy thing seems fairly simple. We have an aging populace that relies on Social Security and Medicare in part because of ridiculously high health care costs. So enact a health care bill that is not entirely profit driven and you eliminate part of the problem right there. We’re fighting two wars that have cost an estimated $3 trillion bucks and we wonder where all the money has gone and we have a tiny portion of the overall population that receives unnecessary tax-cuts and loopholes that allow them to pay virtually nothing in return while we foot the bills. Duh. Or, as the Tea Party terrorists seem to want, we could all just get out of the way or get steam-rolled. Makes perfect sense to me. Let them eat cake! [email protected]

It is fascinating to learn how our bodies can enhance vitality and achieve health by providing the nutrients they need to nurture the cells in the most natural and suitable way. There are several vital nutrients the body utilizes everyday to bring foods to the cells and beautify the body from the inside out. Minerals are essential in this process. Silicon is a mineral with amazing properties, beautifying properties; it is present in blood vessels, bone, cartilage, connective tissue, hair ligaments, lungs, lymph nodes, muscles, nails, skin, teeth, tendons, and the trachea. Silicon helps to maintain the elasticity of arterial cell walls. In his book “Eating for Beauty,” Dave Wolf an advocate of natural health, explains how silicon plays an important role in many processes in the body. For instance, in bones, silicon is found in areas of active growth. He states, “Growing and healing bones may contain high levels of silicon at the calcification site, because silicon is transformed into calcium. Silicon rich foods and herbs (such as horsetail, nettles, oat straw and hemp leave) have been shown to increase bone mineral density”. He also explains that a “rich diet especially in

children, leads to beautiful teeth and jaw formation. Silicon helps to prevent cavities and bleeding gums”. Other sources indicate that silicon helps for flexibility and elasticity. Rich silicon foods are: Horsetail, young bamboo, nettles, oat straw, alfalfa, radish, nopal cactus, romaine lettuce, marjoram, cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, young tender green plants in spring time, oats (steel cut), comfrey, beets, beans, peas. Try to eat the vegetables in their raw stage for better nutrition. There are a couple of herbal combinations that I have found very helpful in supplying silicon for the body. One is HSN-W, which stands for Hair, Skin and Nails. This formula has Horsetail, dulse, sage and rosemary. Horsetail contains more silicon than any other herb in a form that is highly absorbable. Silicon is found in high amounts in the skin and hair, it is also essential in the formation of collagen and elastin, which are proteins responsible for the elasticity, tone and texture of the skin. Thus deficiency of this trace mineral may bring signs of poor skin quality, as well as dry, brittle hair and soft, weak nails, weak bones, dental cavities, weak arteries and lungs disorders. Another good supplement is Ionic Minerals, a liquid formula that provides 70 trace minerals in a readily absorbed form. According to the Herb Allure, Inc research, trace minerals play a specific role in antioxidant activity, cellular functioning, enzyme activation, hormonal regulation, metabolism, healthy pregnancy and lactation, normal heart rhythm, oxygen transport, pH balance of the blood, and in the renewal of body tissues and wound healing. They are combined with the antioxidants Acai Berry and red skin extract, as well as fulvic acid to enhance absorption. The next nutrient I find

fascinating is Sulfur. As Dave Wolf very accurately describes it…”sulfur is the foundational mineral of all beauty. It produces a flame-like tint in the skin. It creates a subtle luster as delicate as the halo around the full moon on a clear desert evening. It carries with it a certain elegance and aristocracy. Sulfur-residue foods make the complexion radiant”. Sulfur helps protect the cells in our bodies from environmental hazards such as air pollution and radiation. Consequently, sulfur slows down the aging process and extends the life span. It is also an important part of a substance that keeps your skin supple and elastic. Sulfur is stored in every cell in the body and is especially highly concentrated in the joints, hair, skin and nails. It helps beautify complexion, mineralize the hair and make the skin glow. Adequate sulfur levels in the diet can increase the speed of recovery in athletes by 75% as reported by Dr. Stanley W. Jacob (the leading medical authority on MSM and co-author of the Miracle of MSM). Sulfur Rich foods are: onions, arugula, blue green algae, bee pollen (the most complete food found in nature), cabbage, hot chili peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, garlic, hemp seeds, horseradish, kale, maca (super food powder), mustard leaves, noni, pumpkin seeds, spirulina, watercress.

mango salsa. “If you enjoyed the crab cakes from Tips Up last year you won’t be disappointed this year,” said Cappelli, a Rotary Club member. “The Double Diamond’s steamed clams and clams casino will be to die for. Myer’s Steak House said they plan to put their 2009 dish to shame with their new specialty.” The Silver Fox Steakhouse will serve smoked pork with black beans and rice. The Ellicottville Brewing Company and The Birdwalk will feature signature seafood dishes on the menu, too. The host, John Harvard’s, will provide a curried lamb on rice pilaf. The meal will be completed with breads from Bonjour Bakery and gourmet salad stations from Brick City, Cappelli said. Watson’s Chocolates and other delicious

cakes and tarts will fill the dessert table to top off the meal. Students from Ellicottville Central School will also serve delicious hors d’oeuvres at the event. Silent and live auctions will be held at the event and Pirate Dreams will provide the dinner entertainment. Caribbean Extravaganza and Princess Shemika will provide post-dinner entertainment, Cappelli said. Princes Shemika is the Guinness World Record holder in limbo. Cappelli said that 100-percent of the funds raised at the cocktail party will return to the Rotary Club to help fund its programs throughout the year. “We hope that what we do helps,” said Cappelli. “Know the kind donations and support of the individuals and businesses in Ellicottville end up serving the less fortunate in our community and we thank you all for your support.” The Rotary Club Foundation for Youth and its affiliate Family Support for Ellicottville

contribute to the community in many ways, including working closely with Ellicottville Central School to supply students with school supplies each fall and support special educational programs. It also provides tool kits to in-need students in the automotive program at BOCES. Family Support for Ellicottville was established three years ago to help members of the Ellicottville community, which they do through many programs and initiatives. “I already have my tickets as this is not going to be an event that I miss,” said Cappelli. “So don’t hesitate as it will be a sellout again this year.” Call Carolyn Keighley at (716) 699-8758 to purchase tickets to this gala event. “This is one of the most fun events of the year and to think it is helping a great cause that is tax deductible,” Cappelli said. “For those of you who knew Michael Kerns, you know that it’s an event he would have loved.”

suspended solids in the effluent. He said the DEC was sending a letter to the Village outlining the details of the relief, but it had not yet arrived. The mayor discussed relining the sewer line on Rockwell Ave, and putting in new laterals. A motion was made to authorize up to $100,000 for the repairs. The motion passed. The Village has received its quarterly sales tax disbursement of $83,706.24. This is down from $93,483.84 from the same

quarter last year. The mayor said that revenue is down by $9,787.60, and that the economy is to blame. The mayor mentioned that with Standard and Poors downgrading the US credit rating, “who knows what is going to happen?” He mentioned that any decline in sales tax revenues has “a big impact” on the Village budget. He went on to say that he would check the records to see if this was the lowest quarter for tax revenues. Under special events plans for the Children’s Fest and Rockin Oldies Weekend were approved. Patra Lowes reported that plans for Fall Festival are proceeding.

There was mention about the tent regulations meeting at the Fire House, and the importance of weighting down the tents against the wind. Patra mentioned that the chamber sends out this information with the packet it send to exhibitors. A motion was made to establish a standard work day for the Village. Apparently this is a state required detail that had not been addressed before. A motion was made to establish an eight hour workday for Village employees. The motion passed on a roll call vote with no objections. At this point the meeting adjourned so the board could move into executive session.

Agency chose to go with the Kinley proposal. The agency used a set of criteria to score the two plans, and Kinley came out on top. As Mayor Linda Witte explains, “We went through a process where members of the Urban Renewal Agency did a survey and the two proposals were scored on different categories. And the developer who scored the highest was Kinley. “ Mayor Witte says the U.R.A. is “very pleased” with the Kinley plan, which calls for a mixed use of upscale apartments, retail space, and office space. “Now, it’s basically going through the process of to have them (Kinley) come. And we’ll just work together with them through the U.R.A, which is sort of an arm of the city

government. The city is really not directly connected (with the project). At the same time, the city wants to update its U.R.A. plan for that segment of town.” Mayor Witte echoes the opinions of the many people in Olean who have sought to bring life back to the old bank building over the years. “After almost twenty years, we’re finally seeing some movement on this. We just want to get this whole project moving along.” What about parking? The location does not boast of many parking spaces, but Mayor Witte notes that, “Both developers realized that. There’s a one-story building on the backside that obviously is coming down. As far as other buildings along West State Street, that’s kind of iffy as to how many of those will come down. But I think that parking in some ways is an issue. So, I think the developer will have to address that.” The

mayor added that parking can be a problem in any large city, where you might have to park at a parking lot and walk a little ways. “It depends on what the use is, and what they’re going to be putting there. That’s all going to be part of what we want to see.” In addition to the former bank, development plans include the old Siegel shoe store building and a few of the buildings owned by the Marra family, which will also be renovated. Mayor Witte says, ”Other than that, it’s kind of up in the air what the developer (Kinley) wants to do.” As for a timeframe, the mayor expects it will take a few months to wrap up all the legal and financial issues, which are common with such a large project. She states, “I would hope maybe in the spring (of 2012) to see something physically being done there, if not a little sooner, perhaps some demolition.”

★ ★ Sudoku Challenge ★ ★To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9-box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution.
