Planning Board Awaits Census DataCounty Committee Also Discusses Revision in St. Bonaventure Square Project

BY NICHOLAS PIRCIO,95.7 FM, WPIG

Members of the Cattaraugus County Planning Board are waiting to receive the latest census fi gures for New York State. The matter came up during the board’s January 27th meeting, and was discussed again at the board’s latest meeting last Thursday, February 24th. The situation remains in a holding pattern, according to the county’s Senior Planner, Paul Bishop. “The fi gures should be out sometime before the end of March. (The fi gures) are rolling out four, to six, to eight states per week.“ 2010 Census fi gures have

Among things discussed at the County Planning Board meeting was a change in the height of the clock tower in the proposed Bonaventue Square Development Project planned for the former Castle properties in the Town of Allegany. Among the planned components of the approximately $60 million development are a recreation complex with bowling alleys, sports lounge, arcade and gaming room; apartment housing designed for graduate students and area professionals; a hotel with conference space; a sporting/multi-purpose complex that will provide indoor and outdoor venues for a wide variety of sporting events and tournaments; and retail stores and restaurants to support the complex.

There’s something to be said for snowboarding as a sport. Even those who don’t snowboard can look at the sheer athleticism, balance and coordination that a snowboard demands a rider have in order to even make it down a snow-covered slope and not help but appreciate it. Then there’s that whole aura. There’s that whole reputation and attitude that those who love the sport have not only built up from the original foundation but have come to enshrine and worship as the sport continues to

grow. From almost every angle, the sport is incredible. It’s so incredible, in fact, that those who commit to trying to do it have often times already fallen so deeply for the culture surrounding it that they’ve subconsciously developed an addiction to everything about it. That…is snowboarding, and that is precisely why Red Bull will once again bring the “Red Bull Butter Cup” contest series back to Holiday Valley this weekend for 2011. It’s all for the love of the sport. Last year, Holiday Valley celebrated a phenomenal turnout for the event, and looks to an even more successful weekend as the contest series returns

this Saturday, March 5th. The contest series itself is focused purely on “technical fl atland trickery,” on an array of different “butter pads” (obstacles throughout the course) brought in by the Red Bull Corporation. The event layout will be conducted by the Holiday Valley Terrain Park Crew, and will include some big changes for this year’s competition. Park Director Pat Morgan has compared the layout to a “skate plaza setup” which will demand riders to keep focus not only on performing tricks on the butter pads, but also on making the transition from one feature to another.

“The course is still compact and linear,” Morgan states, “riders will just have some unique options this year for transfers, whereas last year it was a static formation... it provides us with a creative challenge from a build/design point-of-view, and of course it will challenge a rider’s creativity in their riding as well” The event is scored based on the rider’s ability to utilize the park features in a jam session format. Riders will have one hour within their specifi c heats to throw down as many runs as possible for the judges. However, as opposed

At the Town Planning Board meeting Monday night the board heard a preliminary proposal from Mr. Chris Thompson for a campground and event center on Horn Hill Road. The property under consideration covers about 600 acres divided by fences into 100 acre lots, and is currently a working buffalo ranch. Mr. Thompson is currently in discussions with the owners to

lease the land from them. During his presentation at the meeting he made it clear that his proposal was very preliminary and that fi nal plans have yet to be determined. At the moment he is considering a combination of campgrounds and an event center for the staging of “mass gathering events.” He anticipates about 150 camping spots with the possibility of installing public restrooms, showers, a children’s

With the publication of the book The Adventures of Dusty Popsallot, Dawn Josephine has moved into the business and art of illustrating children’s books. While this was not the fi rst career choice for the Buffalo native, when you hear how she came by the position; it seems to be a natural progression. A woman of many talents, Dawn divides her time between designing jewelry for her own line, painting large canvases, photography, her interior design business, and getting ready to illustrate the next book.

New York State maple syrup has an established reputation as one of the highest quality maple syrups in the world. Maple Weekend held March 19-20 and 26-27 from 10am – 4pm each day. Over 100 New York maple producers open their sugarhouses to the public to demonstrate how maple products are made “from the tree to your table.” Admission to the event is free. You’ll fi nd maple producers from Buffalo to Albany, Rochester to Binghamton and Jamestown to Plattsburgh, participating in Maple Weekend. A list of sugarhouses and maps can be found on www.mapleweekend.com. The event began as Maple Sunday 15 years ago when a handful of maple producers in Wyoming County organized a one-day event to promote maple products. It has become so successful that it now includes producers throughout New York State. For information contact (585) 535-7136.

“We noticed how many houses had real problems with ice and snow, and we knew that the Zig zag cables just did not work. They only provide a partial solution to a huge issue, but this system eliminates any problem on any roof,” states Timkey. The two owners started as general contractors when they had one customer who had a huge ice problem he wanted gone. Paul and Mike researched into ice melting solutions; found the Bylin System and became very interested. After contacting a regional manager, the owners began their “one-of-a-kind” business, Roof Ice Solutions of WNY. They do however still operate their general contracting business that fi lls in the time when they aren’t busy, especially in the summer.

The Butter Cup is one of the premiere events held annually at Holiday Valley and an excellent one to watch even if you’re not competing, not tomention, there is an after-party beginning at 5 pm on the deck outside the Founders Lodge. Photos: Bob Knab / RKgraphics.smugmug.com

Well, this is it… The LAST weekend to chill out before a whole slew of merry-making activities begins. I, for one, am glad to fi nally make it to the Ides of March. Yes, yes, I know – it was one whale of a winter here in little old E’ville. The skiing and boarding has been fantastic this winter. Memorable, even… We’re starting (just starting, mind you) to transition out of

Ellicottville’s peak season, but fear not. With the base of snow we’ve been blessed with this year, I’ve got a feeling we’ll be boarding and skiing well into April! So, everyone should be happy. Those who can’t wait for springtime can fi nally see the light at the end of the tunnel. And the avid snowsports fans still have forty or so days of skiing left. Perfect! But take a look at your social calendar, my friends. Next weekend? Mardi Gras ’11 – need I say more? That’s when we host our annual “Winter Carnival” – a weekend of fun, festivities and general zaniness. Ice bars, gaudy costumes, beads, and people behaving – well, not so hot. Good times, people – good times indeed. And the following week? Ah, ‘tis the wearin’ of the green for those of Gaelic and non-Celtic heritage, alike. We all love to celebrate that particular festivity in true Ellicottville fashion. Faith and begorrah, it’s always a good time to git ‘er done, by golly! So, we’ve got a real double-whammy on the very near horizon.

So, you can take one of two approaches, I fi gure. You can be a responsible person and rest up. Relax, maybe a little skiing, a little dining, a little imbibing… It would be a great week to fi nally read that novel you promised yourself you’d read all winter, or maybe paint the bathroom or a portrait of your favorite pet. Perhaps an oil change would be in order. Or… YOU CAN GET PRIMED FOR THE BEST MONTH IN THE BEST PLACE ON THE PLANET! Nothing short of Christmas beats Ellicottville in March, for sure. Better you’re prepared for all that fun, I say. And we all know practice makes perfect, right? Right… So, get out there and start some serious dress rehearsing. You don’t want to look like a rookie when the real deal starts up next week. So dear readers – take my advice. Rest and party when you can, and always remember the next cause for celebration is right around the corner. So, PACE YOURSELF…

Until next week… JZ

Where have you heard that before? Right here in The Villager, and about this time every year I rally the troops (Holiday Valley Ski Patrollers) and prepare to collect food and money for the food bank here in Ellicottville. We began the food drive 15 years ago and we hope to make this a banner year. Each year we have additional support and we reach for a higher goal, and this year is no exception. This is a chance for each and everyone to help someone else in the area that may need that helping hand at this time. We really don’t ask for much and we hope that you give what you can afford. Non-perishable food, toiletries and cleaning supplies are all items that you can buy one more of at the store, and donate them to the food bank. Now if you can’t think of anything, then good

old COLD CASH will help pay a utility bill or even the rent. The next obvious question is, where can I take the items I wish to donate? As in past years, we try to make it as easy as possible by providing food collection boxes in various stores in Ellicottville. The following merchants have graciously said they will provide a place in their store where a box will be placed and you may drop off your donations. Donations of non-perishable food and other items will be accepted at both ends of the Village, the Red Door Ski Shop and Tops Market, out at Holiday Valley in the Guest services building and at the new Ski Patrol building at the bottom of Yodeler. The boxes are available at these locations through Sunday March 20th. Starting Friday March 11th at 4:30 through 8:30 PM and

Saturday March 12th from 10:00 to 6:00 PM a ski patrolman will be at Tops Market to accept all donations. In return for your donation at Tops Market, or during the parade, you may select a strand of offi cial Mardi Gras beads as a way of our saying thank you for your support. On Saturday evening March 12tth , before and during the Mardi Gras parade, Holiday Valley Ski Patrollers and there friends will be pushing grocery carts along side of the parade asking for your donations and yes, passing out Mardi Gras beads in return. Ski Patrollers have a passion for skiing and compassion for people we help, please show your compassion during this drive and give generously.For further information contact Bob Barbu at, (440) 668-3773 weekdays or [email protected] any time.

Larry Pearson Ski DayHoliMont Looks to Throw “Hats Off” to Larry Pearson March 4th

“Hats Off” to Larry Pearson Event this Friday at Holi-Mont Ski Area will feature such activities as Larry dress and ski impressions and a Ceremonial Pine Cone Fire Pit Event.

Letter to the EditorA Reader’s Repsonse to Doug Arrowsmith “Power to the People”

February 28, 2011 - Dear Editor, I read with interest the article by Mr. Arrowsmith, “Power to the People.” I also admired his new hat in his picture of that famous humanitarian Che Guevara. I can’t believe that most of the educated and civilized world remembers him as a cold-blooded Marxist revolutionary who by his own hand killed at least one hundred and eighty people (just the documented ones). They also remember him ordering fi ring squads killing thousands more of farmers, capitalist pigs, school teachers etc. Cuba is better off for him having been there as there is no

more class distinction. Everyone is equally poor. He opposed free elections, as he knew most people were not intelligent enough to vote. I’d like to buy a hat with Joe Stalin’s picture, or how about A. Hitler or Osama Bin Laden? On another note I agree with him “who would want to be a school teacher in Wisconsin?” I did a little research and can really sympathize with those poor people getting paid in the public sector. Below is a list of their wages. You’re right on Mr. Arrowsmith.Very Truly Yours, Joeseph F. DiPasquale

2010 Wisconsin Public Sector Wages: Average Wage & Benefi ts

TEACHERS: Milwaukee-$86,297; Elmbrook-$91,065; Germantown-$83,818; Arrowhead-$90,285 (highest teacher: $122,952; lowest: $64,942); Men Falls-$81,099; West Bend-$82,153; Waukesha-$92,902; Sussex-$82,956; Mequon-$95,297; Kettle Mor-$87,676; Muskego-$91,341.

ATTENTION FRIENDS OF LARRY! Join us at HoliMont March 4, 2011 to celebrate a day of skiing, good food and great times as a tribute to one of our fi nest characters. We have such a memorable day planned that you will feel like he is with us from beginning to end. Group rate ticket is $35 for “Friends of Larry”. Go to the main chalet ticket booth tell them you are part of the “Hats off to Larry Pearson” ski day and get a group rate ski pass. Come dressed in some fashion that resembles Larry. (An award will be given to the one who is the best look-alike and can best imitate Larry’s personality!) Everyone please bring any Interesting Larry Photos to share or notable Larry mementos.Here’s the line-up: 10:00 AM: Meet at quad lift and get ready to ski. Then go as a group to Larry’s Start Shack to witness the dedication of the start ramp in Larry’s honor. 10:30 AM: Photos will be taken. Ski Like Larry: All impressions will be judged and scored,200 plus cm. skis are appropriate! Ski the morning together and tell Larry stories on the chair ride!12 Noon: Barbecue in Main

Chalet - Lower Sunset Room Area: Bring your favorite spoon, cook up what you would like and drink what you prefer. We will toast Larry with his drink of choice, Milwaukee Premium Beer, and we will toast Larry’s Mother with her favorite drink of choice. According to Larry’s sister Judy, Dell’s favorite drink was a dry martini WITH a lemon twist! She used to say that you just ‘whisper vermouth over the glass’. I did, however, get her a mister and she loved to ‘mist’ her vodka with vermouth from her atomizer. Enjoy “Dell’s Cocktail.” Of course, you can make it easy on yourself and just buy lunch at Dina’s at the Mont, and be sure to ask for the Larry Pearson Special. Larry liked chili with the works: cheese, onions, hot peppers, hot sauce and anything else you could pile on as long as you could eat it with a spoon. Lunch break is a great time to share your Larry photos before going skiing again.3:00 PM: Ceremonial Pine Cone Fire Pit Event (Location to be determined), throw any other notable Larry-type stuff to be given as Sacrifi ce to the Snow Gods (old toques and hats qualify)!

4:00 PM: Take the party downtown and pick a suitable watering hole i.e. Gin Mill, Madigan’s, Balloons, Double Diamond, EVL Brew Pub….or all of them and have one drink or beer to travel as Larry did while checking out who was in town. PS. be sure to be 10 minutes late to each location!

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., March 1, 2011 — Three women plus 12 instruments equals one good time when the trio Simple Gifts takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 11, in the sixth concert of the Friends of Good Music season at St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. Drawing on an impressive variety of ethnic folk styles, this award-winning trio plays everything from lively Irish jigs and down-home American reels to hard-driving Klezmer frailachs and haunting Gypsy melodies, spicing the mix with the distinctive rhythms of Balkan dance music, the lush sounds of Scandinavian twin fi ddling, and original compositions written in a traditional style. Combining tradition with innovation, Simple Gifts creates some of the fi nest arrangements in folk music today: swing fi ddle creeps into a Romanian dance, spoons show up in an Irish reel, and the concertina ventures

STORY AND PHOTO

BY JOHN THOMAS

With the publication of the book The Adventures of Dusty Popsallot, Dawn Josephine has moved into the business and art of illustrating children’s books. While this was not the fi rst career choice for the Buffalo native, when you hear how she came by the position; it seems to be a natural progression. Attending SUNY in Fredonia she started as a fi ne art major. In her second year of school, due to her love of children, she switched her major to education and went for her masters at D’Youville College. For her masters thesis she wrote and illustrated a children’s book to teach algebra to fi fth graders. After college she taught for a while in Alabama. Eventually, through a friend of a friend at a wedding she met Dr. Chris McDaniel, a chiropractor practicing in Scottsdale Arizona. Although they had not intended to keep in touch, Dr. Chris managed to fi nd Dawn on Facebook, and asked her if she was interested in illustrating a children’s book he was considering. He had already self-published a book of poetry, and was now inspired by his niece Katie and nephew Connor, to write a book for them. (It is dedicated to them). Dawn received the text for

the book on Easter of 2009 and began working on the illustrations. Dawn would sketch the story in pencil, scan and email the drawing to the doctor.

Once Dr. Chris approved the basic drawing Dawn would go over the lines in ink, rescan the illustration and use Photoshop to add the colors. Eventually, Dawn traveled to Arizona so the two could work in person. This close collaboration led to many little “in-jokes” in the book. A street scene in the book contains several shops that relate to the authors: Fat Daddy’s Pizza is the name of a pizza parlor Dr. Chris’ father owned and Rusted Barn is the name of the interior design business Dawn and her partner Dina DiPasquale run. Finally after six months of drawing the illustrations were fi nished and the book was published by AuthorHouse of Bloomington Indiana. A woman of many talents, Dawn divides her time between designing jewelry for her own line, painting large canvases, photography, her interior design business, and getting ready to illustrate the next Dusty Popsallot book. “Basically I work all the time,” she tells me with a smile. Unlike many artists who have embraced the computer for their work, Dawn prefers the tactile approach. “I want to be making something that I can touch.” She enjoys taking found objects and turning them into jewelry. For instance, she may take some old nuts and bolts and fi gure a way to make a beautiful pair of earrings or necklace from them. “I’m always seeing how I can take something and turn it into something else.” She shows her work during Fall Festival each

As of late, the news has been covering many stories about buildings collapsing due to ice and snow buildup. Collapsing buildings is only one thing to worry about with ice and snow. Leaks, icicles and mold are all dangerous threats to a home, its inhabitants and their belongings when dealing with harsh weather. Roof Ice Solutions of WNY has a resolution to these problems. Paul Timkey and Mike Stang have been melting ice for six years and going strong. This ice melting system eliminates ice, snow, and water from the ice entering the home creating a preventative measure against liabilities and dangerous mold infestations. Serving people all over Western New York, Mike and Paul provide a cost effective solution to those safety issues associated with ice dams, snow buildup, and icicles. “We noticed how many houses had real problems with ice and snow, and we knew that the Zig zag cables just did not work. They only provide a partial solution to a huge issue, but this system eliminates any problem on any roof,” states Timkey. The two owners started as general contractors when they had one customer who had a huge ice problem he wanted gone. Paul and Mike researched into ice melting solutions; found the Bylin System and became very interested. After contacting a regional manager, the owners began their “one-of-a-kind” business, Roof Ice Solutions of WNY. They do however still operate their general contracting business that fi lls in the time when they aren’t busy, especially in the summer. The two really love doing what they do: helping people in the Ellicottville area protect their roofs and homes. Paul and Mike offer various designs for

all different types of roofs (from shingles to those designed with dramatic peaks and slopes) to provide the perfect system to prevent safety hazards related to ice and snow. Timkey explains, “This type of business fi ts Ellicottville perfectly because of all the chalets that have peak and valley roofs that can form lots of ice.” Paul says they have had hundreds of calls this year alone, and have put in over 200 systems for people across WNY. Mike and Paul do all of the work for the systems themselves so their clients do not have to be worried about someone other than the owners showing up to do the job when buying a system; this ensures the quality of work being completed. Paul explains the system, once installed, is virtually maintenance free. It is run by a thermostat that turns the system on automatically when it is needed, and off when it is not. Pricing varies as each situation is different, but the two can work with the customer to determine the best

way to prevent ice buildup. Paul also explains the system does not need to cover the whole roof. If the problem is only on one part of the house, then that is the only part that needs to be covered which can save money. The system is encased and will not fall off like the old Zig zag cables. “We have had very few problems with the systems we have installed, and if there have been issues we have made them right,” says Timkey, who guarantees if there is a problem with a system they will do all they can to fi x the problem. To learn more about Roof Ice Solutions of WNY contact either Paul (716-353-0756) or Mike (716-474-8021). To learn more about the Bylin system, their website is www.bylinusa.com which explains how the system works and can answer any questions you may have. With winter still in sight, it is important to be protected from falling ice and leaking water; call Mike or Paul to learn more and get your ice melting system right away.

February 22nd-24th was a momentous time for the HoliMont Racing Program. For the fi rst time ever HoliMont played host to an FIS Nor-Am Cup Snowboard race. In fact, it was the fi rst time that such an event has ever been held in Western New York. Alpine racers from all over the world traveled to Ellicottville to take part in the event and when it was all said and done, Ellicottville did not disappoint. Mother Nature did her part by providing three consecutive days of nearly ideal racing weather. The HoliMont groomers did an amazing job of making sure that Fall Line was groomed above and beyond FIS standards. On top of spending a lot of time making sure the timing system was dialed down to the smallest hundredth-of-a second the HoliMont Racing Program did its due diligence to ensure the course was both fast and challenging. The Racing Program also organized a great group of passionate volunteers to help out with all of the behind-the-scenes work; and rest assured when FIS points are on the line there is plenty of work to be done. Competitors arrived on Tuesday the 22nd where they quickly began to acclimate themselves to the terrain they would be racing on. The race itself took place on Wednesday and Thursday. It featured one Parallel Giant Slalom each day where riders got two runs to qualify for the fi nals. In the fi nals the top 16 men and women competed in a head-to-head elimination format to determine the winner. The event itself brought out some pretty heavy hitters in the world of snowboard racing. Canadian Michael Lambert, a 2010 Olympian and a World Cup gold medal winner, showed up looking to improve his overall point total. Fellow Canadian National Team racer Matthew Carter also made the trip down to HoliMont. However it was the presence of racers Darren Gardner and Megan Farrell that HoliMont was most excited about. Not only do Darren and Megan both race for Team Canada but they are also both children of HoliMont members and thus have spent a lot of their youth on the slopes of HoliMont honing their skills. “The race was a huge success, well put on with no delays and tremendous efforts

from volunteers and friends of families helping out,” said Gardner. “Everybody who came out said this has been their favorite stop so far this season on the Nor-Am tour.” High praise for this area considering Gardner has been competing at areas like Copper and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. In the Women’s Division Madeline Wiencke of the USA took 1st place on Wednesday. Cassandra Wagar of the USA and Hilde-Katrine Engeli of Norway took 2nd and 3rd respectively. Megan Farrell fi nished in a very respectable 8th place. Wednesday saw Matthew Carter fi nish in 1st place for the Men’s Division. Michael Trapp of the USA and Michael Lambert took 2nd and 3rd place respectively. Darren Gardner fi nished in 5th place. On Thursday, Hilde-Katrine Engeli upped her game and ended up at the top of the

podium at the end of the day.Ariane Lavigne of Canada andLindsay Lloyd of the USAfi nished 2nd and 3rd respectively.Megan Farrell showcased herconsistency and once againfi nished in 8th place. Not satisfi ed with his 2nd placefi nish the day earlier, MichaelTrapp was able to walk away witha 1st place fi nish on Thursday.Darren Gardner harnessed hiscompetitive drive and was ableto capture the 2nd place spot onthe podium. Michael Lambertrounded out the podium in 3rd

place. Everyone at HoliMont is veryproud of Darren and Megan andwishes them the best of luck intheir racing careers. The Nor-Am event was an amazingexperience for everyoneinvolved and HoliMont islooking forward to having theopportunity to host more Nor-Am events in the future.

After a fun-fi lled day on the slopes, continue the celebration in Ellicottville at 6:30PM where there will be a Mardi Gras Parade in the village and celebrations at all the local restaurants. Hopefully you are staying overnight nearby because you will not want to missout on all the fun and games we have planned for you on Sunday as well! Start off the ski day the right way with a pancake breakfast on the Champagne Sundeck at 9:30a.m. Meet us at 11:45PM at the Edelweiss lean tu near the top of Mardi Gras with your best costume for the Annual Costume Parade down Mardi Gras. The parade starts at high noon as the groups wind their way down Mardi Gras. The costume judging is at the bottom of Mardi Gras and

prizes will be awarded for Kids single, Kids group, Adult single, Adult group and Mixed group. Best in Show Adult and Child will win a 2011-2012 Holiday Valley Season Pass! On Sunday at Noon, the Ellicottville Ski Club is hosting a wine and cheese party outside the Clubhouse Chalet and the Lederhosen Ski Club will have their annual hot dog cookout ready for a lunch break. As the weekend starts to wind down, you want to make your way back over to the Yodeler Lodge for the Annual Dummy Downhill competition at 2:00PM. The Dummy Downhill is just hilarious! Participants construct “Dummies” out of different materials and put them on skis. Then the Dummies show off their stuff in the Downhill competition.

Architectural DigestA Ski “Shack” With Soul

STORY AND PHOTOSJOHN THOMASSTAFF WRITER

A certain song kept running through my mind as I was touring 33 Elizabeth Street; the B-52’s Love Shack. But I kept changing the words to Ski Shack. It’s just that the building itself and its rather eclectic décor reminded me of college ski weekends. But, to concentrate on the home’s ski use is to sell short it’s rather unique history. Built in 1888, the building started life as St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in the growing Village of Ellicottville. It served the congregation well until 1966, when they sold it to the family that has owned it ever since. The family converted it to a home and used it as their family ski home. It still maintains many of its liturgical elements: the bell tower is still there, though the steeple is gone, and the windows still maintain their arched tops. Inside the feel of a church

is still there; the old sanctuary is now a great room. A huge brick fi replace sits where an alter once was, and wall-to-wall carpeting has replaced the

old fl ooring. The church-like dimensions of the room create a generous and comfortable living area. Overhead the ceiling is - well, a cathedral ceiling. Its original stained wood creates the only solemn note in an otherwise bright and cheery room. The beige walls set off the dark wainscoting and chair rail and support a variety of artistic wall hangings. The furnishings are various shades of purple, and red drapes hang over the windows. I told you the place was eclectic. Going back towards the entrance, I come across the large bright red table that serves as the dining area. Opposite it and supported by a red wall is a stairway that leads to the upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen is divided from the rest of the house by a high marble topped counter. The dark purple cabinets and black refrigerator give a sleek modern look. The counter holds a double sink, and an electric range and stove. Overhead, the walls curve up to the wood ceiling. The red bordered and curtained windows still maintain the church atmosphere. Next to the kitchen is the

fi rst of the two downstairs bedrooms; either of which could be a master bedroom and a bathroom with a walk-in shower divides them. Any one of the bedrooms could serve as a guest bedroom or home offi ce. Back on the main fl oor just inside the entrance is a mudroom. The traditional church double doors open onto the sidewalk and street. Off the mud room is a staircase that leads to the full basement, which previously housed the church’s kitchen and the room could be fi nished to provide a spacious game room or den. Simply put, you just can’t beat the location. At the corner of Elizabeth and Mechanic streets, it is only steps to the downtown shops and restaurants. One block off the main drag of Washington and it is still only a short drive to HoliMont and Holiday Valley. Whether you are looking for a permanent residence or vacation home, this is a place of unique and soulful charm. Now, if I could just get that song out of my head.

HealthwiseLove Your Heart

The heart is the organ of love. This pear-shaped organ beats continuously throughout life, non-stop. In order to meet the body’s energy demands, the heart must beat more than a 100,000 times per day. It pumps an average of six quarts of blood around your body 500 times per day. The blood vessels are the transport system by which oxygen and nutrients reach the body’s cells, and waste materials are carried away. In one day, your blood travels nearly 12,000 miles.According to the National Vital Statistics System, and the U.S. Census Bureau, nine out of ten heart disease patients have at least one risk factor, which include: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, cigarette smoking, overweight and obesity, poor diet, physical inactivity and alcohol use. There are some lifestyle

DR. LILAIN D. DIRITO, C.N.H.P. WELLNESS CONSULTANT

changes that can make an amazing difference in decreasing the risks of heart disease, for instance: aim for a healthy weight, consume a healthy diet that includes vegetables, fruits, onion, garlic, raw walnuts, salmon, avocado, etc. Drink more water and eat more fi ber, cut out salt, exercise regularly like walking. Reduce your stress, stop smoking and get enough sleep. Scientifi c studies have repeatedly shown that making such life style changes has a tremendous impact in heart disease. In a 2008 study, researchers noted that each additional hour of sleep was associated with a 33% reduced risk of coronary artery calcifi cation, a predictor of coronary heart disease (Journal of American Medical Association, Dec. 24/31, 2008). You can support your heart and circulatory system with nutritional formulas like Super Omega 3 EPA. This is a combination of Omega-3 fatty acids that are one of four basic fats that the body uses from food. Omega-3s are especially good for the heart. Super Omega-3 EPA is a source of tow fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Another important nutrient is CoQ10-50. CoQ10 is an enzyme that helps produce cellular energy and acts as an antioxidant. It also supports already-normal-range blood pressure levels. Many studies suggest that CoQ10 supports cardiac

function. As an antioxidant, Co-Q10 scavenges free radicals, protects cardiac cells and promotes the regeneration of vitamin E, another healthy antioxidant. It can also help maintain already normal blood pressure levels. Solstic Cardio is another comprehensive nutritional formula in a convenient drink packet, providing 5 grams of l-arginine per serving and a blend of minerals, aminoacids and other ingredients. I personally like this supplement. It is easy to take with you wherever you go. Solstic Cardio helps protect against premature aging, supports healthy sexual function in both men and women, it contributes to more productive exercise, overall energy levels, healthy immune function, helps maintain cholesterol levels already within the normal range, supports muscle mass and bone density, which may help to reduce fatty tissue, may help increase mental clarity.Love your heart!

to other competitions at Holiday Valley, not all abilities demonstrated by a rider will be scored. Only sequences involving a maneuver known as “buttering” will count in competition. What is buttering? Local snowboarding professional and friend of the Red Bull family, Marcus Stephens gives non-snowboarders a basic defi nition. “Buttering is a combination of board presses and rotating back and forth,” Stephens says, “To make it simple, you could

do a straight press (nose or tail) the length of a butter pad, or you could just slide over a pad spinning around, but neither of those would be buttering. You have to put them both together and do them at the same time to even be scored.” The event comes to Holiday Valley this weekend for the third consecutive year. Registration will begin Saturday at 10 am and last through 12 pm at the west end of the Main Chalet. The qualifi er jam session for Amateur riders will take place from 1pm-2pm and the qualifi er jam session for Professional riders will last from 2pm-3pm. The Finals for both divisions will run from 3pm-4pm with an Awards Ceremony to follow

at 4:15 pm. The Butter Cup is one of the premiere events held annually at Holiday Valley and an excellent one to watch even if you’re not competing, not to mention, there is an after-party beginning at 5 pm on the deck outside the Founders Lodge. “The Butter Cup stands out given it’s reputation for just being a high-paced, energy-driven event,” Holiday Valley’s Pat Morgan added, “the captive audience for the event is huge given its location at the base of Mardi Gras. Every aspect of the event is on point- branding, setup, and of course the riding.” Don’t miss the action this weekend! It’s sure to be buttery-smooth.

Have you ever wondered where you will be fi ve years from today? It may be time to decide what is next in your life and create a strategy to get it. If you have dreamt about something you want in life but have not taken action to make it happen, it will just remain a dream. If you write your dream down on paper, it then becomes a goal and you can make your dream come true. Did you know that people who write their dreams down transforming them into real life goals earn nine times more over

their lifetime than people who just continue to dream. Did you know that 80% of Americans say they don’t have goals and of the 16%, who do, only 4% write them down and less than 1% actually reviews their goals on a regular basis? If you have a dream, write it down, commit to what you want for your life, and start to create a strategy to get it. Albert Einstein said, “Your imagination is the preview to life’s coming attractions”. As you dream use your imagination, allow all of your senses to take you to the place you want to go. Visualize achieving your goals, experience the joy and happiness you will feel, where will you be, who will surround you, how will it look, feel, smell. Be specifi c and clearly describe the details of your dream. The clearer and more vivid you can describe your dream the easier it will be to achieve. Life is about balance, so as you dream and start to write all the details down on paper make sure you have balance within your lifetime goals. Over the next fi ve years, ensure that your goals involve balancing as many spokes on the wheel of life as

possible. As your life evolves, pay attention to and seek balance in family, relationships, career, health, adventure, education, fi nancial, spiritual, and charitable areas of life. Dream big and stay positive. Remember anything is possible. Dreaming big can feel intimidating so break it down into bite-sized pieces. (A friend once told me she could only eat caulifl ower one small bite at a time. It took awhile but she achieved her goal). Chunk it down! Surround yourself with people who believe in you. Don’t allow others to discourage you or tell you who you are. Create a list of all the reason why your dream is possible and will come true. Life is happening now so don’t get stuck in the someday dream. Someday may never arrive and every day counts. Do the math and fi gure out where you are in your life’s journey. Multiple your age by 365 (that is your current age in days) subtract that number from 27,375 (the average life span) and see how many days you have left. Now are you ready to dream big and create the strategy to get to where you want to be in fi ve years!!

INTRODUCING THE NEW 2011 SORENTO.STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY.

SPORTY STYLING. SPACIOUS INTERIOR. London, in the eighteenth

century, was the home of an infamous lunatic asylum (as they were then called) known appropriately as Bedlam. Bedlam was home to some of the country’s most unfortunate citizens and was known for it’s harsh and inhumane treatment of its patients. Bedlam also became famous for being one of the western worlds fi rst institutions to realize that it was possible to turn a profi t at the expense of its residents. The proprietors of the good establishment began drilling holes in Bedlams walls and charging the people of London a penny a piece to gawk at the cavalcade of unfortunates. Londoners were drawn by the thousands, compelled to feel better about their own lives by witnessing those who’s suffering was so much more horrendous. Which, of course, brings me to Charlie Sheen.

Sheen’s ongoing public meltdown has, I must admit, made for compelling TV. It also leaves me feeling sort of sick to my stomach. Each unfortunate word uttered by Sheen draws

more jackals and their cameras to his doorstep. We desperately want to see him fall and every single network desperately wants to be the place where that fall fi nally happens. We’ve seen it time and time again and it gets more disgusting with each passing celebrity meltdown. We’ve been drawn to the walls of Bedlam. I like Charlie Sheen but it’s apparent that something is wrong with him. But why should any of us care? Sheen made the statement that he was living the life of a rock star and he was going to embrace it and, I guess, that does make some sense. If his name was Ozzy Osbourne or Keith Richards we wouldn’t give him a second glance. It would just be Ozzy being Ozzy or Keith being Keith. Sheen, however, is supposed to be a respectable actor and, as such, he’s supposed to behave in a certain manner. When he crosses a line our envy turns to blood lust. We want to see him die on camera. Only then will our hunger for celebrity revenge be sated. Lets take a quick look at what really matters right now. North Africa and the Middle East are in full meltdown mode and the riots and revolutions are spreading like wildfi re. Gas prices, partly due to regional unrest, are skyrocketing. Here at home, the federal government is on the verge of shutting down and local and national movements against governmental union busting are drawing thousands of protestors into the streets. Haiti is still a giant pile of rubble and thousands are dying every

day. What were today’s top stories on all three major news networks? Sheen and the public drunkenness arrest of Christina Aguilera! This is our reality and we, as the consumer of this mind numbing poison, should be ashamed. Why are we like this? What draws the cameras to the doorsteps of drug addled celebrities? Of course they want the attention but why do we give it to them? We like to watch “crazy” people. As sad as it sounds, the same compulsion those long ago citizens of London felt as they peeped through the holes in Bedlams walls still drives us to dole out our shillings for the right to watch Charlie Sheen publicly lose his mind. We’ve become a nation of peeping Toms. I feel dirty just talking about it. Or could it be that we envy him? We secretly wish we weren’t trapped by conformity. We want to throw off society’s shackles, leave the kids at soccer practice, forget the bills and groceries and get loaded. We want to be able to get away with the things Sheen does and still get paid. We want to be rich and famous and when it doesn’t happen we unleash the jackals. Not out of concern but because of pure jealousy. I have the disquieting feeling that most suburbanite Americans secretly hate their lives and live vicariously through the rich and infamous. They’ll never admit it but give them the chance and I guarantee they’d change places with Sheen in a heartbeat. They would embrace the [email protected]

already been released for about twenty states. Bishop says this week marks the turn for Delaware, Nebraska, Kansas, North Carolina, and Wyoming. “Results from several more (states) should be released next week.” Bishop said the county will announce to the municipalities when the census fi gures become available. Figures can also be found on the U.S. Census Bureau website. In addition to local governments that rely on the census to gauge their tax bases, census data are used by businesses to evaluate investment opportunities and measure the competition, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The County Planning Board also reviewed one aspect of the proposed Bonaventure Square development project planned for the former Castle properties in the Town of Allegany, near St. Bonaventure University. Bishop explains, “The reason they (the

town) came to us for review is because they have what they call a Plan Development District for that project. They want to erect a clock tower as part of the project.” The tower is taller than the height regulations called for in the original development district that the county planning board reviewed last summer. “So they were asking to revise those regulations.” Bishop sees no problem with the change in that it “is in keeping with the general feel for the area.” That’s because there are facilities across the street (Route 417) on campus that are of similar height. As for the Bonaventure Square project itself, Allegany Town Supervisor Pat Eaton says it’s pretty much on track. He would like developer Ross Wilson & Associates of Buffalo to present details of the actual layout and buildings to the Allegany Town Planning Board. Eaton says, “We need specifi cs, and that’s what they’re going to start doing.” Plans include a bowling alley, a restaurant, a retail complex, and upscale apartments. Developers are to update the Allegany Town Planning Board on March 21st.

In other agenda business, the Cattaraugus County Planning Board is looking to fi ll the position held by long time board member Jack Berger of Randolph, who passed away in late January. Bishop says recommendations usually come from current board members who may know of somebody who is willing to serve. “We usually start by taking their recommendations and contacting people.” The appointment must be approved by the Chairman of the Cattaraugus County Legislature, Crystal Abers. The County Planning Board has thirteen total members, including the County Commissioner of Public Works, David Rivet. The board will mark its 50th anniversary this summer. Bishop says, “We are just starting to consider a date (for the annual meeting which will mark the occasion). The Planning Board was formed in 1961, so this will be its fi ftieth year.” Board members adjourned the February 24th meeting in memory of Jack Berger, with their next meeting set for March 31st.

playground and a pool. The campgrounds would be used seasonally. When it came to the event center Mr. Thompson’s plans seemed a bit vague. He did not seem to have specifi c events in mind but mentioned “family style” events, music, and balloon festivals, adding “it would be a center where we can host things.” He went on to say that he was aware of companies that can provide temporary services

such as port-a-potties, trash disposal, and catering services for events. The mention of “mass gathering events” and music put some of the board members in a nostalgic frame of mind, one of them quickly mentioned Woodstock, as an event that got a bit out of control. Mr. Thompson stated he had no plans to sell alcohol, but would not try to control what people bring to events; adding, “we’ll keep it small, keep it controlled.” He went on to say “It’s not going to be a party thing, this will be other types of events.” He brought up groups like Mensa, Veterans,

and the MS Society as the type of organizations he would like to see use the facility. As far as proceeding further the board advised Mr. Thompson to produce more detailed plans as to what would be constructed on the site, plans for parking, and a description of what phases in which the area will be developed. They also requested he contact the owners of adjoining properties and ask them if they would object to his plans. One of the board members stated, “the total concept needs to be there.” Mr. Thompson thanked the broad members and said he would be back with more complete plans.
