The four-season resort town of Ellicottville is sending out a call to women everywhere to grab their best friend, sister, mother or daughter and escape to its spectacular surroundings for a weekend full of events geared to “the girls,” as Women’s Weekend returns June 11-13.
“This weekend is all about empowering women to try something new,” says Laura Solly, a local entrepreneur and member of the Women’s Weekend organizing committee. “It’s about providing a platform for them to connect with each other - whether friends, family member or complete strangers.” The fourth annual Women’s
Weekend kicks off with a welcoming reception at 3pm on Friday, June 11 at the Wingate where participants will receive a gift bag including a discount passport full of deals at local shops, restaurants and spas. From there they can enjoy a chair massage, paraffi n hand treatment or anti-aging facial, or take part in a one-of-a-kind poker tour in which they collect cards from every
local bar or restaurants they visit, presenting their “winning hands” at Saturday night’s group dinner. New this year is a $55 pre-registration fee that includes a sit-down dinner at HoliMont Ski Area on Saturday night at 7pm, as well as admission to hear guest speaker Lori

A festive crowd fi lled the dining room at Elkdale Country Club last week to honor Salamanca’s outstanding citizens. Sponsored by the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce, the second annual SalamancApplauds dinner recognized fi ve people for their outstanding contributions to the city. Chamber President Jayne Fenton kicked off the evening by welcoming the crowd, and introducing the chamber staff. Singled out for thanks in helping to put on the evening were: Susan Zaprowski, Jenny Ingrao, Ciji Riley, and Kim Driscoll. Father Michael Lonto of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church gave the invocation for the evening and then briefl y traded quips with the crowd as he walked among the tables, commenting, “never give a pastor a microphone.” Sue Zaprowski enabled the rest of the evening by introducing the presenters of the awards. Tracie Brown, George Heron’s granddaughter presented him with the Lifetime Achievement Award. She noted his many talents: “He was a hunter, trapper and fi sherman,” as well as his long struggle to assist the Seneca people, adding, “He served as the Seneca nation tribal councilor, treasurer, and president. He helped lead the fi ght against the taking of Seneca lands.” She added, “He has always held Salamanca deep in his heart.” Mr. Heron, 91 years young and surrounded at the table by his family, acknowledged the standing
ovation and thanked the crowd for the recognition. “I want to thank you for your thoughtfulness in honoring me on this evening,” adding, “I can’t talk much longer because the Yankee game is coming on the air,” he joked. Tom Flanigan gave out the Handshake Award to Jud and Steve Beattie. The Handshake Award is given to members of the chamber for outstanding business leadership and growth. Mr. Flanigan spoke how the two brothers had started Southern Tier Wood Products twenty years ago to “do some wood processing, to be able to sell fi rewood, and do lawn care in the summer.” He told how over the years the business had grown, starting from 25 or 30 truckloads of fi rewood a year,
to now over 300 truckloads per year. In talking about the Beattie’s landscape care company (Dr. Green Lawn) he noted that the business had started with 75 customers and over the years has gown to serve over 800 customers. He went on to mention several landscape projects the company has done over the years that benefi ted the community: Veterans Memorial Park, Our Lady of Peace Church, and Jefferson St. Park. After the standing ovation, Jud Beattie spoke to the crowd. “It’s a true honor to stand here. We’re community people … we build relationships. And when you do that, it’s amazing how you’re blessed. I thank you for all of this.”
Five community members were recognized during a dinner ceremony hosted by the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce and held last Wednesday at Elkdale Country Club.

The County of Cattaraugus Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) held their monthly meeting this past Tuesday, June 8th at their offi ce in Ellicottville, New York. Executive Director, Corey R. Wiktor, opened the meeting by introducing Mr. David Trathen, Executive Vice President of Finance for Holiday Valley Resort. David presented the CCIDA Board with an application
for a sales/leaseback transaction to determine the company’s eligibility for tax exemptions and assistance on proposed updates to the resort and equipment. The application lists a projected cost of the projects at over $1.5 million, with an estimated sales tax of over $125,000. Trathen said that the project includes the installation of fully automated snowmaking machines on some of the ski trails. The machines contain a weather monitoring system that the
resort crews can program to produce snow during ideal conditions. He said that this would be more cost effective and environmentally friendly under certain conditions, though he stated there are no plans to upgrade all of the snowmaking equipment. Trathen added that the project also includes improvements to the snowmaking pipeline, repairing and paving parking lot blacktop, expansion and improvements to the tubing park, an upgraded pool fi ltration system and
improved night lighting at the resort. According to Trathen, the tubingfacility upgrades would include theaddition of a gaming room that wouldgive individuals at the facility moreoptions for entertainment. He addedthat the upgraded pool fi lter wouldconvert salt to chlorine, which wouldremove the need to store large amountsof the toxic substance at the resort. Trathen also stated that the resort
Described unanimously among fellow companions and businesswomen as being a lovely person, kind-hearted, selfl ess, giving and beautiful inside and out, Lynn Timon falls nothing short of being the 2010 recipient of the Edna Northrup Woman of the Year Award.

E-VILLE - The American Cancer Society kept residents in Ellicottville up all night again - but no one seemed to mind since it was for this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life. They joined a national movement that, since inception in 1985, has raised more than $3 billion to create a world with less cancer and more birthdays. Cancer survivors celebrated
their triumph over the disease by walking in the Survivors Lap to kick off the celebration. They were then joined by more than 200 others who took turns moving around the track at Ellicottville Central School throughout the night in honor of cancer survivors, caregivers, and those who have lost their battle with cancer. The more than $37,000 raised during the annual event will help the American Cancer Society help people get well, stay well, fi ght back and fi nd cures.
“The American Cancer Society is appreciative of the
overwhelming show of support from the residents of Cattaraugus County,” said Mike Porpiglia, Relay For Life director. “We are especially grateful to the many volunteers and their families for all of their hard work to make Relay For Life a reality. They represent hope that those lost to cancer will not be forgotten,
that those who face cancer will continue to celebrate many more birthdays, and that the disease will one day be eliminated.” For more information about Relay For Life or other programs and services, call the American Cancer Society 1-800-227-2345 or donate online anytime at relayforlife.org/nynj

E’ville Soccer ProgramLongest Running Offi cials Looking for Future Volunteers
Joe Delity, Wally Holland and Adam Delity of Ellicottville are recognized as the three oldest soccer offi cials in the Southern Tier, with 70 years combined experience.

The two brothers started the Youth Soccer Program in Ellicottville over 30 years ago, and are joined by Wally Holland in running the program, as well as maintaining the fi elds. The three offi cials are welcoming anyone who takes a serious interest in all aspects of the soccer program and fi eld upkeep to volunteer. Future volunteers will be needed, and those who would like to get involved can contact Wally Holland at 699-5133.

It’s time to take a moment and think about what a great place WNY is in the summertime. It’s easy to see for those of us who live in Ellicottville - just look around at the majestic dark green mountains with enough hiking and biking trails to fi ll our daily calendars. But there’s another reason why
early summer is so sweet in this neck of the woods. WNYers sure love their festivals, and summer is the perfect time to enjoy all this natural beauty with outdoor activities! Outdoor festival time is starting and there’s no better place to be for music lovers than right here in WNY. You’ve already read about some of the great outdoor activities coming to us right here in E’ville during this weekend’s Women’s Weekend Event. Here you can enjoy healthy exercises such as fl y-fi shing, golf, archery, and walking tours. Designed to honor, educate and celebrate women, this very special weekend will be fi lled with two days of healthy (and fun!) activities. Almost all of the weekend’s activities are covered by the $55 registration fee, although some of these awesome events may require a nominal charge. You can check it all out at the special pre-
registration party at the Wingate on Friday at 3pm, where our hosts will be providing you with all the information you need, goodie bags, special offers and more. But don’t forget all the great events the Ellicottville Chamber has lined up for you to last the entire summer. There is the Championship Rodeo and Summer Festival of the Arts, July 2-4, Americana Folk Art And Music Fair July 17-18, Jazz Weekend July 30, Taste of Ellicottville August 7, IBO World Bowhunting Championship August 11-14, Children’s 1st Fest August 14, Rock N’ Oldies Weekend September 17 and we close the summer out with Ellicottville’s Fall Festival October 9-10. So, dear readers, whether you’re from Mars or Venus, this summer is going to be a blast for everyone! Until next week ...

Member In The NewsHoliday Valley Conference Sales
Diane Althans, Conference Sales Administrator at Holiday Valley, visited the Chamber offi ces this week to discuss their approach to group sales. During our meeting, it was obvious that she has a lot of passion for her position and for Ellicottville in general. Working with three sales associates, Diane’s team has landed groups from Ontario, New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. With six different facilities to operate from and a ski resort and incredible village to work from, there isn’t much they can’t offer their guests. Diane encourages free time at all of her events. “The more time they can spend touring the village and surrounding area, the more likely they are to return,” said Diane. “We are always sending guests to the village for shopping and meals.” Diane attended our Business Development meeting on June 10 to discuss some of her upcoming conferences and ways to entice visitors to shop the village. Currently
Noco Energy is in town, with the Italian American golf tournament this weekend. Then on June 21-23 National Fuel will bring in 300 different people per day for each of the three days, with their afternoons being “open times.” July will bring the family oriented Letter Carriers group and the American Voyageur Association of Kawasaki. Both of these groups are very large and will provide the village merchants with great sales opportunities. Most of the groups are weekdays and Diane hopes that the shops will be open so her guests will have the best experience possible.
With new Associate Conductor Matthew Kraemer, this year the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will be playing their second set with an additional 11-piece Motown band largely made up of members of the Colored Musicians Club of Buffalo. This promises to add a spectacular twist on the annual BPO performance. Get ready to dance to some of your favorites by the Temptations and others as we close out our Summer Festival on Sunday night, July 4. Tickets are $30 in advance through June 27 and $35 at the gate. As always, children 12 and under are free. Tickets are available at both village liquor stores, the Wingate, Inn at Holiday Valley and the Chamber. You can also order online at Tickets.com

OLEAN - More than $18,000 was raised at the 14th Annual Hospice Walk, held last Saturday, June 5. The three-mile walk along the Allegany River Trail benefi ted the HomeCare & Hospice Foundation and proceeds will be used to provide hospice services for patients in Cattaraugus, Allegany, Genesee and Wyoming counties. The event, formerly known as the Hike for Hospice, was co-sponsored by St. Bonaventure University and Mix 101.5, which broadcasted live from the walk. A total of 113 walkers were registered, according to HomeCare & Hospice Development Coordinator Jacqueline Czwojdak. “We are simply overwhelmed by the response and amount that was raised. It is wonderful to see a community come together for such a great cause. Everyone that is here today has been touched by Hospice or realizes how important Hospice is and what a difference it makes in the lives of patients and their families facing terminal illness,” said Czwojdak. Names of those honored appeared on fl owers placed on stakes at the starting line and along the trail. As walkers traveled the trail, they could see names of the people for whom they were walking. The top individual pledge-earner was Patti Bokman of Allegany with $807, Debbie Glass of Whitesville with $800 and Linda Bess of Olean with
Over 100 walkers registered for Saturday’s Hospice Walk to raise funds for HomeCare & Hospice. Leading the pack was a family team known as “Duane’s Gang,” comprised of (from left) Sandra Holdridge, Lori Lombardo, Ryan Lombardo and Mark Lombardo. The team walked in memory of the late Duane Holdridge.
$530. The winners chose from among three prizes: a trip for two to Myrtle Beach, S.C.; two season tickets to St. Bonaventure University basketball and a three-month family membership to the Olean YMCA. Walkers who raised $50 in pledges were entered into a drawing for prizes donated by local businesses. Walk sponsors included Cutco, A&J’s Pizza, Indeck, Olean Medical Group, McHone Industries, ComTon Inc., Blue Cross BlueShield of WNY, Fox Financial, Rinker Oil, Community Bank and Dresser-Rand. “We sincerely appreciate all
of the sponsors, donors and volunteers who gave us their time or resources this year. We’d like to say a special thanks to Scott Kruse this year for his dedication and putting together a team of 55 walkers, the biggest team in the Walk’s history,” said Czwojdak. HomeCare & Hospice, a non-profi t United Way agency, provides specialized medical care and social/emotional support for patients and families coping with life-limiting illness in Allegany, Cattaraugus, Genesee and Wyoming Co. This institution is an equal opportunity provide and employer.
A Special Day For AthletesSalamanca Hosts Special Olympics Track & Field for Local Students
SALAMANCA – Sunny skies lit the parade that kicked off the Salamanca area Special Olympics Track & Field Event on Friday, June 4. Hosted by Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES and Salamanca City Central School District, athletes came from the surrounding area schools - Allegany-Limestone, Catt-LV, Ellicottville, Hinsdale, Randolph, West Valley, and Salamanca. SCCSD Middle School students came out to cheer the athletes as they passed in the parade. This year’s events were dedicated to the memory of two former special Olympians, Kylee McLarney and Dylan Smith, who loved participating
in the games. The guest speaker was U.S. Paralympics Hockey Gold Medal winner Adam Page from Lancaster, NY, who happily posed with athletes wearing his USA jersey and gold medal from the Vancouver games. After the opening ceremony, the Sally High barbershop group sang the national anthem to start the games. The athletic fi eld was swarming with bright yellow athletes who were excited about participating and ready to do their best. Events included 50, 100 and 400 meter runs, a softball throw, long jump, and high jump. Adaptive games included frisbee for accuracy and distance, beach volleyball,
soccer kick for distance, bean bag toss for accuracy and Bocce bowling. Although the day was warm, the athletes and spectators enjoyed themselves, having tents and refreshments nearby. The day ended with the awards presentation during which every athlete received a participation ribbon and trophy for being a great athlete. They then loaded the busses, tired, but happy. Thanks go out to all the volunteers and area businesses that have donated everything needed to mount this event. Their efforts brought a great deal of joy to these student athletes, which they and their parents will always remember.

Ellicottville’s ladies’ only weekend retreat, geared to honor, educate and celebrate women, will be held Friday-Sunday, June 11-13. “So get ready to have a blast, relax, unwind and try new things,” as the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce website expounds. Among the scheduled events - like hiking, fl y fi shing, archery, yoga, and beer tasting - henna tattoo artist Preeti Blaggan will be on hand to commemorate the weekend with her temporary tattooing art. Henna is a fl owering plant that has been used since the Bronze Age to dye skin (including body art), hair, fi ngernails, leather, silk and wool. The word henna is also used in reference to the dye as well as the art of temporary tattooing based on those dyes, which have many colors. The word has come to describe dyes such as black or neutral henna, which do not derive from the plant. The henna plant is native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, southern Asia, in semi-arid areas. Primarily, henna tattooing has been practiced in several parts of the world and is traditionally used in various festivals and
celebrations … enter Preetie Blaggan. Ms. Blaggan is originally from India, has lived in the Olean and Ellicottville area for over twenty years, and recently moved to Buffalo where she is searching for a space for a henna tattoo business. This weekend she returns to Ellicottville to help celebrate women with her freehand designs that are lovingly made without artifi cial dyes. “In India, we put them on hands and feet,” Says Ms. Blaggan, “and are used in wedding celebrations.” Whole, unbroken henna leaves will not stain the skin until the lawsone molecules are released from the henna leaf. Henna’s coloring properties are due to lawsone, an organic compound that has the ability to bond with protein. Fresh henna leaves will stain the skin if they are smashed and mixed with a mildly acidic liquid. The lawsone will gradually migrate from the henna paste into the outer layer of the skin and bind to the proteins in it, creating a “fast stain.” It is diffi cult to form the intricate patterns that henna tattooing is famous for from coarse crushed leaves, so it is commonly made
by drying, milling and sifting the leaves and then mixed with lemon juice, strong tea, or other mildly acidic liquids. What you are left with is a paste, which can be used to make the fi nely detailed henna body art. The henna mixture is then allowed to set for 6 to 12 hours before use. Henna ink can be applied with a myriad of traditional and innovative techniques, including resist, shading, thick-paste, and cellowrap. A satisfactory stain may be achieved within minutes, but the longer the paste is left on the skin, the stronger the stain will be, and it may be left for several hours. At the end of the procedure, the dry paste is simply brushed or scraped away. Henna stains are orange soon after applicaion, but darken over the following three days to a reddish brown. In the north and western parts of India, in the desert areas where the henna plant grows, mehndi (or henna painting) is a very important part of wedding rituals and other special occasions. As the story goes, the deeper the color obtained on the skin, the longer the love between the couple will last. This gave rise to the belief that a proper mehndi application is a prayer to the gods for blessings of everlasting love and a successful marriage. In Morocco, when a soldier goes off to war, his wife will apply henna to the palm of his right hand for protection and to remind him of her love. Whether it be in preparation for a special occasion or in celebration of a particular event, henna in its many forms has always been done with the fervent wish that the act would engender good fortune and harmony. For more information on the 2010 Women’s Weekend events and/or accommodations, you can log onto the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce website at www.ellicottvilleny.com (See complete schedule on page 2.)

Described unanimously among fellow companions and businesswomen as being a lovely person, kind-hearted, selfl ess, giving and beautiful inside and out, Lynn Timon falls nothing short of being the 2010 recipient of the Edna Northrup Woman of the Year Award. She is being recognized this Saturday evening during the Women’s Weekend dinner at HoliMont.
“I’m overwhelmed, but I feel that this was just another opportunity to grow – to accept the offer,” says Lynn. “I don’t feel like an accomplished person in terms of what people think “accomplished” is this day in age; however, I have a phenomenal community of women that love me and care about me, and I am forever grateful.”
Lynn says she credits her strength to faith and a higher good, and the support of this great community of women, whom she has worked with and befriended over the past 26 years. “If I could pass any advice onto young women, it would be to really know yourself well before making any life-altering decisions … spend some time with yourself … live alone by yourself, without any other infl uences, and give yourself the opportunity to truly get to know who YOU are,” says Lynn. According to Dionne Kress,
Women’s Weekend committee chair, “We were exploring women who were strong, independent, well-balanced, persevered their challenges and how they do it. Lynn helps people, is committed to the community, is selfl ess and fi ts the profi le of having a positive attitude toward life and knowing herself as a woman intimately.” Lynn is sharing her gift of
palm reading during Women’s Weekend, and will be charging $5. She plans to donate all her proceeds to the Ellicottville Memorial Library. “I do palm reading for fun and to help
support Women’s Weekend and my love for the library system,” says Lynn. “She is just an amazing, loving person,” says Grace Kell, Women’s Weekend committee spearhead. “She works at Alexandra, and one day I went into the store to talk to her and told her that her hair looked nice, and she replied, ‘Oh thank you Grace. I’m growing it out for Locks of Love.’” Not only does Lynn work at Alexandra, a local gift shop in the village, but she also is the artist for the bi-monthly E’ville Events magazine. “My involvement with E’ville Events has been one of the most amazing connections to the community. It was a great way to get involved when I moved into the village,” says Lynn. One of Lynn’s great friends, Bridget Ward of the Holiday Shoppe, says that “Lynn is a very kind, giving person. If anyone ever needs help, she’s the person there to help. She has such a wonderful heart, and is just a lovely person and friend. She makes it wonderful fun when business is slow, as Alexandra is across the street from the Holiday Shoppe. We
call each other on the phone and laugh and giggle, and wave at one another through our shop windows.” In Lynn’s free time, she enjoys spending time with her four grandchildren, who she says are “smart, funny, adorable and interesting.” She also partakes in yoga classes in the village and of course, loves spending time with her friends, who she refers to as her “lifeline.” “I love reading, and am a horrible movie addict! I like strange movies … offbeat comedies, documentaries, foreign fi lms and creative animations,” says Lynn. Lynn also aspires to get her bicycle out on the road this summer and plans on cruising around the village. In closing, congratulations to Lynn Timon for being the 2010 recipient of the Edna Northrup Woman of the Year Award. Perhaps you’ll see her during Women’s Weekend, be there to help honor her Saturday evening, or see her working at Alexandra. In any case, give her a big smile and congratulate her on being awarded such a prestigious title among the women in the village of Ellicottville.
Lynn Timon will be presented with the 2010 Edna Northrup Woman of the Year award during Ellicottville’s Women’s Weekend event. Lynn says she credits her strength to faith and a higher good, and the support of this great community of women, whom she has worked with and befriended over the past 26 years.

E’VILLE – Solomon’s Porch Ministries began in 1994 in Ellicottville under the direction of Pastor Gail McCrory and her husband, Michael. They are the proud parents of six children and twelve grandchildren, and have been married close to 40 years now. For almost 15 years, the ministry operated out of the Cooperative Extension building in Ellicottville, but after a 40-day congregational fast, God opened doors to move the ministry to the former Eddyville Community Church building in Mansfi eld, located just outside of Ellicottville. Solomon’s Porch Ministries welcomes those to visit for a night, a day, or camp for the summer, but most of all, to experience Him. Prophet Renae Longbotham and Pastor Gail McCrory are currently away in Jerusalem, Israel and are expected to return towards the end of June. In their place, prophet Latisha Smith will be the featured guest at the June 12 meeting at 7pm. The ministry meets Tuesdays through Sundays at 7pm, along with Sunday morning service at 10am. For more information, contact Solomon’s Porch Ministries at 716-257-3040, 257-9138 or e-mail [email protected]

As a Registered Personal Trainer, I’m repeatedly asked certain questions regarding proper form and technique. This week, I’d like to focus on the most frequently asked questions, offering personal training tips to make your workouts safe, effective and successful. Breathing affects performance: When training clients, I often fi nd that one of the challenges they face is breathing properly in resistance training. Many will inhale when they should be exhaling. Meanwhile, some hold their breath when lifting, pushing or pulling any form of resistance. Our muscles could experience cramping, due to less oxygen and we may even reach an “oxygen debt” since our need for enough oxygen isn’t being met. When breathing while exercising, focus on exhaling on exertion. Deeply and slowly inhale in through your nose and slowly exhale out of your mouth.
Inhaling and exhaling only out of your mouth can result in shallow, non-rhythmic breathing, where the cool air hasn’t been warmed by your nose and, thus, taxes your soft throat tissue. Time affects performance in Resistance Training: Insuffi cient rest time between sets and workouts can break down muscles while signifi cantly straining the involved joint(s). Performance suffers in a rushed workout. I always stress to my clients, the slower you go in a resistance training exercise, the more value you get from the movement. In general, one set of 8 reps should take a minimum of 40 seconds to complete. The slower you go, the more benefi t you get, as you maintain a high level of demand and intensity on the worked muscle group(s). Rest time between sets is important: Rest time between sets should be 30-60 seconds in duration, depending on the intensity of the exercise, load, as well as the fi tness ability and age of the participant. Rest time between workouts is vital: A minimum of 24 hours is needed for recovery between workouts when exercising the same muscle groups. More intense workouts and older participants both require a longer recovery. Many factors can affect metabolism: Genetics, age and gender have a great affect on our metabolism. Physical illness can increase a body’s metabolism and use of energy, as it struggles to
heal itself. Body surface areaalso affects our energy use and metabolism. The greater thesurface, the more energy is used to sustain life. The greaterthe percentage of muscle mass, the greater the caloricburn! Protein consumption also affects metabolism. To build muscle mass, our bodies need a higher qualityof protein, which, in turn,can increase our metabolismby approximately 30 percent.Meanwhile, caloric restrictionslows down our metabolism.By contrast, physical activitycan increase metabolism andcaloric/energy use - dependingon the intensity and duration of the activity. A focal point affectsperformance: It can greatly improve balance, breathing and concentration, especially in exercises involving an unstable surface (BOSU Ball, Stability Ball, Balance Board, etc.) Please keep your personal training questions coming!

We’ve come a long way, or so it would seem. Love him or hate him, the idea, even twenty years ago, of having an African American President was laughable. Over the course of a grueling year’s long struggle we’ve managed to drive the Klan underground, relegate the Skinheads to bumbling caricatures and chase the militia nut jobs deeper into the forests. Good for us. This year, however, something’s changed. Spurred on by the Tea Baggers and a handful of brat politicians, the racists are, once again, crawling out of the woodwork disguised as mainstream idealists. Using the guise of concerned Americans they’ve begun to creep into daily conversations. They hide their hatred behind the fl ag and, using blanket terminology like “border security” and “American values,” have managed to gain some traction. How far have we really come? Two noteworthy events took place last week that are perfect illustrations of our not-so-hidden racist reality. Which brings me, once again, to the increasingly strange state of Arizona. Prescott, Arizona to be precise. Someone in
Prescott had a great idea. They were going to enlist the help of local artists and students to paint a series of murals around town. One of the murals would be painted on the side of the Miller Elementary School using actual students as models. The students would also help with the artwork. The mural would have an environmentally friendly message. A contest was held among the students and the winning drawing was to be used for the mural. Sounds innocent enough. Then the maggots attacked. During the painting process, according to the artists involved, a steady stream of racial epithets were shouted from passing cars directed at both the artist and students involved. One of the students depicted in the mural was of Mexican descent. This went on for days. Did I mention that the mural depicted actual students of the school? This hate fi lled nonsense was spurred on by a local councilman who also happened to have his own radio talk show and was somehow offended by the presence of a dark complexion among the glorious white faces of Prescott’s youth. In a normal world, these idiots would have been ignored. In Prescott, however, the artist was told to lighten the skin of the student depicted in the mural. This idea must have really boosted the confi dence of the elementary aged student used as the model for the painting. Thankfully the idea of the skin lightening was later reversed and the painting was restored to its original state, but the very idea that this even happened is ridiculous. They’re kids for God’s sake. Leave them alone and shut up.
I have a feeling that the desert sun of Arizona is beginning to fry more than a few, already half-baked, brains. The second nutty event happened in South Carolina and concerns the hotly contested Governors race. Nikki Haley, the current GOP frontrunner and Tea Bagger endorsed candidate, just happens to be of Indian descent. Her parents were both Sikh’s but she describes herself as a Methodist. None of this should matter. State Senator Jack Knotts feels differently. During a recent interview he made the following statement: “We’ve already got a raghead in Washington. We don’t need a raghead in the statehouse.” This bloated, red faced blob of a Southern stereotype is an actual elected offi cial. The fact that neither of the people in question are actually Middle Eastern or Muslims doesn’t seem to matter to Senator Knotts, leaving me no choice but to conclude he just doesn’t like brown people. See the trend here? People are entitled to their opinions. I will defend a racist’s right to speak with everything I have. I will also continue to call them out as the buffoons they are. You have the right to speak but I have the right to hound you out of offi ce. Racists, bigots and idiots will always be with us but we, on the other hand, have an obligation to drive them from the mainstream. This is the twenty fi rst century. You lost. We won. Nothing can change history. The fact that, as Americans, you have the right to express your opinions doesn’t change the simple fact that you no longer matter. Comments?

The Hand-in-Hand Awards is given to a community leader who creates relationships in the community and works to remove barriers for the area’s growth and benefi t. Deb Nichols, last year’s winner, presented the award to Sandi Brundage. “She’s always touching someone,” Ms. Nichols said, and added that Sandi has many abilities. “I go down there, and she’s unplugging a plugged toilet, or she’s counseling a young person in crisis. She’s always reaching out and touching many, many people.” She also pointed out Sandi’s love for the community, “her vested interest
in Salamanca; not only does she live here, but she works here. She truly does care.” In her acceptance speech for the award, Mrs. Brundage thanked her staff at the Youth Center, the other department heads for the chamber, and the many people in the community who support her work, “all of you who work so closely with me. It’s not just one person, but it’s a group effort.” She went on, “My husband is here tonight and I say ‘thank you’ to him for all the missed meals, the ‘I’m running late, just fi ve more minutes’, and ‘Oh, by the way you also volunteered to help out with ...’” Rounding out the evening was the Helping Hand Award given to Thomas Brady. Carson Waterman presented a long list
of Mr. Brady’s accomplishments from his admission to the bar in 1973 to being named attorney for Cattaraugus County, to becoming partner in the law fi rm of Brady and Swenson. Mr. Waterman listed many of Mr. Brady’s many activities to support the community; among them are: Vice Chair for the City of Salamanca-Seneca Nation of Indians Joint Leasing Commission, Founding Board member of the Southern Tier West Region Foundation, and President of the Salamanca Kiwanis Club. In accepting the award, Mr. Brady had kind words for the other honorees, and for himself said, “I was shocked by it when I heard about it. I am certainly very honored to receive it and I’m very humbled to receive it.”

would buy up to 10 golf carts, a lift mower for greens maintenance and a telehandler. The machine is an all-terrain vehicle that includes a lift on the front to allow for repairs to the ski lift towers, and the machine functions as a snowplow. The board agreed to review the application for tax exemption. The Board also accepted the SEQR resolution for the project, as well agreeing to have Wiktor conduct a public hearing for the proposed project. CCIDA Chairman Mr. Thomas Buffamante announced to the Board that Holiday Valley Resort President Mr. Dennis Eshbaugh received the 2010 Sherman Adams Award from the National Ski Areas Association. Holiday Valley Resort’s visitor rate increased twofold during the 23 years Eshbaugh has served as its president, and there has been a $100 million in capital investment at the resort during that period. Buffamante said that Eshbaugh served two terms on the NSAA board of directors and on the NSAA Government Affairs Committee. He added that Eshbaugh served on the board of directors of Ski Areas of New York, and was on the Board of Directors of the Five Star Bank. Eshbaugh is currently the vice president of the Ellicottville/Great Valley Ambulance Board, and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, the president of Rt. 219 Association, director of Continental One and director of Southern Tier West Development Foundation.
The NSAA presents the Sherman Adams Award annually to an individual from an Eastern ski area that has signifi cantly infl uenced the industry. The award is named after the former governor of New Hampshire and founder of Loon Mountain, N.H. Since Eshbaugh was not able
to make the meeting, the board presented a signed certifi cate congratulating Eshbaugh to David Trathen. The CCIDA was very pleased and honored to present the certifi cate to Mr. Eshbaugh, noting the accomplishments of every Holiday Valley employee as well.
Next, Wiktor introduced Ms. Brenda Snow, Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration at Saint Bonaventure University, and Mr. Craig Marlatt, Executive Vice President of Ross Wilson and Associates Inc. to have them present to the Board an overview of the proposed Bonaventure Square project, in Allegany, New York. Snow said that the university
purchased the property in late 2002 in an attempt to improve the property surrounding the university. She said the
university examined a number of proposals for the property, from commercial to housing for the aged, and decided to focus on a retail plan, which fell through due to costs and limited demand in the region. She said the university then focused on addressing the needs of contemporary students at the university, which includes improved technology, entertainment and housing. She added that with an on-campus community of more than 1,600 students, the need for improved recreational facilities and entertainment venues were important for the continued growth of the school and the surrounding community. Snow said that the university decided that improvements aimed at increasing enrollment of undergraduates by 10 percent and graduate students by 5 percent over the next fi ve years was vital to the existence of the university, and that this project would help fulfi ll the university’s need. She added that athletes in the surrounding communities would also greatly benefi t from having the improved sports complex. Marlatt said that the project is designed to draw in large numbers of the 5 million plus visitors to the Southern Tier Region/Cattaraugus County by offering an entertainment venue complete with a fi ve star hotel along with other amenities. He added that they have currently spent 18 months working on the project, and that they hope to begin construction in the spring of 2011. Marlatt said that the project would cost about $70 million and would generate about $675,000 in sales tax a year, and it would create about 300 new jobs. CCIDA Executive Director, Corey R. Wiktor said this project is being viewed as a “lifestyle destination project” that would help draw in a number of special interests, such as hockey training camps and tournaments, soccer tournaments as well as lacrosse. The Bonaventure Square Project features a 200,000 square foot sports complex, a 50,000 square foot family entertainment complex, a 100-room hotel, a bookstore with internet access, more than 75 new apartments, and 25,000 square feet of additional retail space. The highlight of the project is the sports complex that has two multi-use hockey rinks, an indoor soccer/lacrosse fi eld, 6 NCAA tennis courts that can be converted into basketball and volleyball courts, and training and exercise facilities. Wiktor presented the Board members with the fi nancial report for the months of April and May and noted how the CCIDA was on track with its 2010 Budget, year to date. The board was informed that the proposed program of Southern Tier West for funding to help
small businesses in Western New York and the Southern Tier cover the cost of exporting products overseas has been delayed, and that the program may be cut back for fi nancial reasons. The board tabled the proposal until a later date. Wiktor said the professional service fund was over budget due to the board’s contribution of $1,000 to contest New York State’s IDA tax. He added that the state recently repealed the law, and that the state would refund the CCIDA’s tax payment of $6,800. According to Wiktor, the public hearing fund was over budget due to placing a large number of notices for the Economic Recovery Zone Fund, which they ran for six weeks in various local media earlier this year. The Board accepted the fi nancial report. Wiktor informed the Board that the MarkJon Properties and Napoleon Engineering Services project is nearing completion, and that the company plans to move into their new facility located in Olean within the next two months. Napoleon Engineering Services is consolidating its manufacturing and testing and inspection facilities into one building. The company manufactures and tests bearings. Last September the CCIDA induced the project for the construction of a $1,500,000 manufacturing facility in Olean. Wiktor informed the board that FEMA continues to pay money towards the repair and reconstruction of the New York and Lake Erie Railroad, and that they are currently waiting on approval of the remaining $295,000. He added that the NY&LE Railroad has begun servicing Cherry Creek Woodcrafters Inc. for the fi rst time in over a decade. Wiktor showed the Board photographs taken during his tour of the abandoned railroad line that the Board has initially engaged Wiktor to determine the stock of the abandoned rail line. The line, which the CCIDA owns, was last used in 1987, and the line is currently missing many segments of track. Wiktor said sections of the line are now impossible to travel even on foot, and that theft is still actively taking place on the line. He noted that some communities expressed concern about the removal of the remaining line, but he said some sections of the line are just gone with many towns having paved over sections that crossed roads. Wiktor informed the board that the Summer Festival of the Arts would take place July 2-4. He said the event is important for the region’s tourism, and that the CCIDA is a sponsor the event. The Board accepted the minutes from the April meeting. Wiktor thanked the participants for attending the meeting for their time that they all put forth.

★ ★ 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.
Good luck!
