The bikes are heading back to Olean. This summer marks the 7th year for Rally in the Valley, a time for food, fun, and of course, motorcycles. Activities kick off this Friday evening, Aug. 21 and will continue through Saturday
and Sunday, Aug. 22-23. The event is centered at Bradner Stadium along Route 417 just east of the downtown area. “The stadium is an ideal location” because vendors do not have to move, and “there’s plenty of room.” The City of Olean has been “very helpful” with the setup in getting electricity from the poles to the stadium fl oor for the food
vendors. The stadium will be roaring, rain or shine. At the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, Meme Yanetsko recalls a previous rally where rain failed to stop the bike games and judging. Anything short of “thunder and lightning, or a wind storm like we had two weeks ago” will fail to stop the
event from taking place “as planned.” “We think people are excited to participate,” according to Yanetsko. There have been at least ten online registrations for the weekend, although most participants wait and check the forecast, then register on the day of the

SUBMITTED BY CINDY SNYDER
During the Annual Ellicottville Youth Soccer Picnic, held Tuesday, Aug. 11, Town Supervisor John Burrell read an Ellicottville Town Board Proclamation naming one of the Town Park’s Soccer Fields “The Delity Field” after Joe and Adam Delity. These two brothers, who hailed from Germany back in the early 1950’s, decided to start the Ellicottville Youth Soccer. That was 30 years ago. They have been long-time players of the sport and are currently both still referees. If you are a soccer player and have ever played in Ellicottville, you’ll probably recognize one or both of the brothers. During Tuesday’s ceremony, Dennis
Joe and Adam Delity were recently honored for their involvement with the Ellicottville Youth Soccer program. Photo/Debra Golley

In case you didn’t notice – boy, was it ever hot last week – I mean, broiling. Considering the lukewarm, wet summer we’ve been having, there was really little choice but to enjoy this stretch of summer regardless of the temps. Quite
a few folks like it this way, but most I think would prefer a little less humidity and a little more comfort. The temptation to sit inside and chill out (so to speak), is appealing, but E’ville always has some kind of festival or event to draw us outside, like last weekend’s Children 1st Fest, or the IBO World Championship. Our Chamber simply is the best, isn’t it? But this weekend – let’s see … Hmmm … Nope – nothing on the calendar! How could this be? Does this mean we’re actually going to be left to our own devices this weekend? We have to entertain ourselves? How do we do that? What ever will we do? I suppose we could play a little golf, take a little hike, get out the mountain bikes,
go on a horseback ride, and/or take a nice walk around the Arboretum. Or we could do a little shopping, grab a bite to eat, do a little more shopping, go out to dinner, head down to the casino, come back and see what the nightlife holds for us. Or we could grab the camping equipment, make a quick trip to the state park and have ourselves a mini-expedition. Or we could relax around the ol’ hacienda and just chill ... So, dear readers, if the heat wave continues, dress accordingly, drink plenty of appropriate fl uids (whatever those may be), and by all means get off your collective keisters and take advantage of Mom Nature while you can – January’s just around the corner, you know! Until next week …

FLOOD DAMAGE: Notice to Village ResidentsIf any Village of Ellicottville residents experienced property damage from the fl ood last week, please report your estimate of expenses to the Village offi ce at 699-4636 and it will be submitted to the County Offi ce. Thank you. - Charles R. Coolidge, Mayor
Dear Mrs. John Burrell, Town Supervisor, and Mr. David Golley, Highway Superintendent: This is a short note of thanks for listening and responding to the Town citizens. Perhaps you will recall that about a year and a half ago, on behalf of several neighbors, I attended a Town Board meeting to complain about the deplorable condition of the pavement on Donlen Drive. You politely
listened and realistically told me that repaving last year “was not in the budget” but would be considered for this year. As a taxpayer, I understood and was satisfi ed with your response. My neighbors and I were pleased and quite surprised when last summer the potholes were fi lled and several hot patches were made. It signifi cantly cut down on the dust and damage to our cars.
We were even MORE pleased and surprised when a few weeks ago, our entire street was ripped up and entirely repaved. It truly looks great and you have made a lot of town citizens happy. It is great to live in a place where citizens’ voices are heard and the Town offi cials respond. Thank you! Sincerely,
Douglas M. DuguayDonlen Drive, Ellicotville
Town Supervisor Addresses Ellicottville Residents Re: Flood Damage Dear Community Members: As you are aware, Ellicottville was greatly impacted by the recent storms on Sunday, August 9, 2009. Cattaraugus County and New York State declared a State of Emergency in Cattaraugus County as the result of recent storm related damage. Our Highway Superintendent David Golley and I attended a meeting Friday morning, August 14 at the County Building. The meeting was with the County Legislature, the County Emergency Services Director and a representative of the State Emergency Management Offi ce (SEMO). We are in hopes that the Federal Government (FEMA) will also declare
Cattaraugus County a disaster area. Your Town Highway Department is very busy repairing the damage to our roads, bridges, culverts and driveway approaches. They are doing a great job and deserve all our thanks. By law they are unable to do work on private property off of our right-of-way. Should the County receive the disaster designation, there may be help in the form of low interest loans or grants to business owners and property owners. It is exceedingly important that any damage and expenses be thoroughly documented. If possible, pictures should
be taken of the damage andestimated/actual repair costsnoted. It will help the Town andthe County to have access toyour damage information. Wealso need the owners name andthe property location. We willforward names and addressesto the County who in turn willsubmit it to the appropriate Stateand Federal offi cials. This information needs tocome to the Town Supervisor’soffi ce at 716-699-2100. Pleasecall this number for all requests.In addition, the County has aninformational number for you tocall with questions (dial 211). Thank you. Sincerely,
John A. BurrellTown of Ellicottville

Sunday Concert SeriesThe Polka River Boys will Take the Stage Aug. 23 in Salamanca
SALAMANCA - Get those feet ready for the short half-steps to dance a polka at Jefferson Street Park this Sunday, August 23. Jasiu and Stasiu take the stage for a FREE concert from 6-8pm as part of the Summer Concert Series brought to you by the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by Seneca Gaming & Entertainment and Indian Smokes. Together for the past 5 years,
the Polka River Boys have been entertaining the local area with their love for Polish and Slovenian music. John Rychcik, Jasiu, and Stan Grochowina, Big Stas or Stasiu as he is called, along with their drum machine have appeared at both the Erie and Cattaraugus County Fairs. They often entertain at reunions, local service clubs, church functions, parties and anniversaries. Two high points for the Polka
River Boys were last summer when they were invited to sit in and play at the Eddie Rodick family picnic for friends and family near Cleveland, Ohio. Eddie’s band has been voted the #1 polka band in Cleveland for many years. Playing along with Pennsylvania’s Sun Rays Band and outstanding showman George Bersi has been another highpoint for Jasiu and Stasiu.
The Polka River Boys have sought to preserve the Polish and Slovenian ethnic musical heritage, believing in keeping a place in Americana for extending this music. Attracting audiences of all ages, John and Stan smile when the onlookers enjoy the sweet sound of accordion music. Ending each performance with God Bless America, military veterans Jash and Stas always remember to remind the audience of the tremendous sacrifi ce America’s
men and women make each day defending this nation. A Salamanca based group, the Polka River Boys can be seen playing all around the area. Bring your dancing shoes and lawn chairs to Jefferson Street Park and enjoy the Sunday, August 23 performance. For more information on the event or a full schedule of future shows, contact the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce at 716-945-2034 or visit www.salamancachamber.org
Together for the past 5 years, the Polka River Boys have been entertaining the local area with their love for Polish and Slovenian music. Come listen and dance this Sunday at Jefferson Park in Salamanca. The concert is free!
Falling Leaves FestivalSalamanca Chamber Posts Musical Lineup
SALAMANCA - The Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the lineup for this year’s Falling Leaves Festival, slated for Oct. 2-4. The event will kick off with disc jockey Sam Turek on Friday, followed by many great acts on Saturday and Sunday, including Kuk & Freddie, The Blue Mule Band, Skiffl e Minstrels, The Oliverios, Cruisiin’, and ending with the Celtic sounds of The LeftOvers ton Sunday. The Skiffl e Minstrels: Taking the stage at 4:30pm on Saturday, Oct. 3 will be Skiffl e Minstrels. With their energetic blend of Hillbilly, Rockabilly and Honky-Tonk, the Skiffl e Minstrels have become WNY favorites - and winners of four consecutive ArtVoice Best of Buffalo Awards. “Long before rock ’n roll emerged as the most prevalent combination of blues, country, and jazz-swing going, skiffl e music provided players with the chance to imbue their music with some highly energetic, rhythmic stomping and vocal caterwauling. The Skiffl e Minstrels’ loose and tuneful performances possess all of the same spontaneity presented by that long-forgotten
musical form. Concert-goers will be treated to such sound styles as honky-tonk, classic rock, Cajun and more, and hear songs from writers ranging from Hank Williams to Lennon and McCartney,” says ArtVoice. The Skiffl es, who often adopt on-stage personas like “Skeet Willie” and “Pinky Rez,” are also known for their crowd-pleasing banter and audience interaction - what the Buffalo
News calls “heckle-licious.” The whole community is sure to enjoy all of the spectacular musical performances during Salamanca’s Falling Leaves Festival! Learn more about other bands in the music lineup in upcoming issues of The Villager. For more information contact the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce at 716-945-2034 or visit www.salamancachamber.org

Bowhunter’s OpenEllicottville Residents Compete and Place During Last Week’s Event
The IBO World Championship competition was held last Wednesday through Saturday at Holiday Valley Resort. The IBO World Championship is considered the PGA of the Bowhunters world. Shooters ride the chairlift up and walk down the hill, shooting at targets in a range. A range typically consists of twenty targets all with tee boxes that a shooter must keep his or her foot against. Shooters go through the range in groups of four with two members of the group keeping score. An Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce member, Dunk’s Woodcutters, participated in the Holiday Valley Bowhunter’s Open. The Open allows anyone with a bow to participate and shoot the same ranges as the shooters who have qualifi ed to be in the World Championship. The IBO offers a free six-month membership for any non-member who signs up for
this shoot. Russ Dunkleman and Dan Aldridge both shot in the hunter class in which Dan placed 15th. Russ said, “The Shoot was awesome! Dan and I had a great time
competing and met a lot ofreally friendly people fromall over the country; we can’twait to compete again.” Why don’t you give it a trynext year!

Business DevelopmentCommittee Meetings Held the Second Thursday of Every Month
Just a friendly reminder that the Business Development Committee meetings are held the second Thursday of every month at the Wingate by Wyndham at 9am and end promptly at 10am. Come early and receive a complimentary breakfast compliments of the
Wingate. The meetings are open to all Chamber members and are a valuable resource for hearing about what’s going on and stating your opinion on past and future Chamber initiatives. Our offi ce e-mails a
reminder with the agenda and when possible delivers a copy of the agenda to the business district members. But we also need your help, too! Write it down in your calendar. If you want a say in the business community, it’s only one hour a month.
Time and time again it seems that Ellicottville is being referred to as a four season resort destination. Since being noted for our mountain biking, shopping, restaurants and accommodations, the only thing that Ellicottville could be accused of lacking would be a body of water. Well, we have a little hidden treasure, Spruce Lake. This 16-acre manmade lake sits at the
top of the Spruce Lake chair at Holiday Valley. Although the chairlift is only used for special events in the summer, Spruce Lake can be accessed by a beautiful hike up the hill from the end of Holiday Valley Road or by a 100-yard path that enters off of Mutton Hollow Road. The view from Spruce Lake is stunning and the water is surprisingly warm. Families with kayaks, canoes and even
a few windsurfers have been spotted enjoying the lake on warm summer afternoons. If you haven’t yet experienced this beautiful hidden treasure of Ellicottville, it’s defi nitely time to pack a picnic, a lawn chair, grab the kids and make the short hike to the top. Remember: this is a privilege that Holiday Valley extends to everyone so take any trash with you and leave the area as you found it. Enjoy!

GREAT TIME TO MOVE UP! Move-up buyers may want to take a look at the record decrease in real estate prices and historically low mortgage rates, and decide this is a very good time to move up to a more expensive home. The fi rst step involves selling the home in which they are living. Although they may be selling it for less than they could have gotten for it two years ago, they are going to more than make up the difference on the home they purchase next. As a result, move-up buyers may be in a position to realize a large net gain in the buying/selling process. Move-up buyers need only consult with a real estate agent to crunch the numbers. Now may be the perfect time to take advantage of current real estate conditions. Whether you are thinking about buying or selling, or both, contact me at 716-474-5646. Allow me to arrange an initial meeting, when we will discuss your real estate needs. HINT: In times of great change, there is the potential for great opportunity for those with vision.

Slam Dunk WeekendOlean’s Gus Macker Sees Increase in 3-on-3 Basketball Tourney
OLEAN - The Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball in Olean was a Slam Dunk Success! Two hundred-eighty-fi ve teams played this weekend, which is an increase of 44 teams (18.2%) over last year’s tournament. The tournament had 1,140 registered players - an increase of 176. Players came from 10 States: Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, Wisconsin Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and one team from Brampton, Ontario Canada. Other stats include Olean (14760) had the most number of registered participants with 151 or 13.2% of the total players. The increase of players were seen in the addition of a 10 and under Girls court; two 15, 16 year old Girls courts; and two additional 19+ Boys courts. For the second year in a row, basketball lovers traveled I-86 and played in three Gus Macker Tournaments - Jamestown (June), Hornell (July), and Olean. The three Gus Mackers and Community Bank, NA sponsored the 3-on-3 by Three I-86 Trifecta. The I-86 Trifecta recognized eighty players who participated in the three tournaments in the Southern Tier. Friday night, Sports Locker hosted the Sponsors Corporate Cup. Ten teams entered this single elimination 3-on-3 Tournament. Jamestown Community College beat
team Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, team Olean Medical Group, and in the fi nals, beat Team Gus Macker, made up Gus Macker staff, with a two-point shot by JR Kemp, JCC’s Men’s Basketball Coach. John Irving, Co-Chair of Gus Macker Olean stated, “This weekend I talked to several parents and players whom I have recognized over the years at other Mackers (Jamestown, Hornell and Buffalo); they enjoy Olean’s tournament. They have added Olean on their must-do list of Mackers (most players do two or more) during the summer.”
Irving added, “For our second year, the tournament had some growing pains - more teams, more courts, more people, but the committee took the challenge and created a success once again. Big thanks go out to the City of Olean, Key Bank, the Olean Center Mall, Don Sue, the Olean Red Cross, and the Armed Forces Recruiting Offi ce - without their help and assistance and the use of their parking lot/building, the tournament couldn’t achieve the great successes it has.” Tournament winners and game information will be available online at oleangusmacker.org by the middle of the week.
Two hundred-eighty-fi ve teams played in last weekend’s Gus Macker event in Olean, which is an increase of 44 teams (18.2%) over last year’s tournament. The tournament had 1,140 registered players - an increase of 176, and players came from 10 States to comete.

SALES, PARTS AND SERVICE
ST. BONAVENTURE - The fi rst major exhibition of the work of 20th century art deco muralist and mosaicist, painter and decorative artist Hildreth Meiére will open a 10-month exhibition Sept. 4 at The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University. The exhibition, “Walls Speak: The Narrative Art of Hildreth Meiére,” will, for the fi rst time, bring together in one exhibition the sketches, studies in gouache, full-scale cartoons and models of the work of Meiére, who created pieces for churches, government and commercial buildings, world’s fairs, restaurants and cocktail lounges, and even ocean liners in a career that spanned fi ve decades. The university has published a full-color, 112-page catalog, which is available to the public, to accompany the exhibition. Meiére, who died in 1961, had more than 100 major commissions from leading architects for projects throughout the United States. Her major existing works include the vestibule dome in the Nebraska State Capitol and the dome in the Great Hall of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., as well as works in the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, St. Bartholomew’s Church in New York, and Radio City Music Hall. “For the better part of my adult life, Hildreth Meiére has been like one of those neighbors we greet regularly but whom we don’t get to know very well or whose name we somehow fail to learn. And then suddenly, one revelatory day, we realize that a person we’ve taken for granted has had an impact on the world around us beyond our imagining,” said Joseph A. LoSchiavo, executive director of The Quick Center. LoSchiavo was married 35 years ago in front of a Hildreth Meiére reredos in the Fordham University Church. Meiére (1892-1961) ranks among the very small number of women artists such as Violet Oakley, Berenice Abbott, Isabel Bishop and Georgia O’Keeffe whose achievements gained the recognition of the established art world during the fi rst half of the last century. In her lifetime, Meiére was considered the most famous, distinguished and prolifi c art deco muralist in the country, one of America’s leading practitioners of the art of mosaic, and one of the country’s most gifted architectural embellishers. She is an important fi gure in the history of American liturgical art and one of its most ecumenical practitioners. The Quick Center exhibition contains 106 works representing 25 of Meiére’s most important commissions. Of the works, 19 are borrowed from 12 institutions, 46 are on loan from seven private collections, and 41 are large-scale photographs. The task before exhibition curator Catherine C. Brawer was to bring the collection to life. “The challenge in presenting the work of Hildreth Meiére has been in making her mosaics, murals, ceramic tile decoration, stained glass, and
exterior metal and enamel sculptures that adorn major buildings across the country come alive for the visitor,” said Brawer. “We do this through preparatory sketches, painted cartoons, models, large mosaic samples, and painted altarpieces.” “The inclusion of two fi nished mosaics and a woven tapestry demonstrates a progression from Ms. Meiére’s exquisite studies on paper to the magnifi cent fi nal work executed by craftsmen upon whose skill she depended to realize her original conception,” Brawer added. Though Meiére’s specialty was the ancient art of mosaic, she created designs for painted wall murals, marble fl oors, glazed terracotta tiles, metal relief sculpture, stained glass, leather doors, and wool tapestry. In New York, her most famous designs are the mixed-metal and enamel roundels of Dance, Drama, and Song for the 50th Street limestone facade of Radio City Music Hall. Other works in New York include the altar-frontal for the Lady Chapel of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, mosaics and stained glass for St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, glass decorative mosaics for the arch and ark for Temple Emanu-El, and glass mosaics for the walls of the banking room of The Bank of New York (formerly the Irving Trust Company) at One Wall Street. Her murals also appeared in Chicago’s 1933 Century of Progress Fair and the 1939-‘40 New York World’s Fair. Meiére’s metal decoration for the no-longer-existing RKO Theatre at Rockefeller Plaza was recreated by artist Gary Sussman in 1989 and is now visible below ground in the Avenue of Americas Concourse of Rockefeller Center. Meiére’s major commissions outside of New York include the Nebraska State Capitol at Lincoln, perhaps her largest and most outstanding work; the Resurrection Chapel of the National Cathedral and the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.; the Travelers Insurance Company in Hartford, Conn.; and The Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis, which has one of the largest installations of mosaics in the world, to which Meiére’s contribution is larger than any other artist’s. During World War II, she supervised the creation of more than 500 portable altarpieces for military chaplains of all denominations, 70 of which were her designs. In the era of transatlantic ocean liners, she created murals for the USS America and the USS United States. With one exception – the abstract red Banking Room at One Wall Street in Manhattan, for which Meiére was color consultant – all of her designs were narrative. For details and a complete list of Meière commissions, go to www.hildrethmeiere.com/ComissionsByState.html Her career was launched in 1923 when architect Bertram G. Goodhue (1869-1924) commissioned her to decorate the dome of the Great Hall of the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.
Her last executed commission was in 1960 when she designed three marble mosaic panels, damaged in removal, recounting the legend of Hercules sailing past the Rock of Gibraltar for the lobby of Prudential Plaza in Newark. Meiére was the fi rst woman honored with The Fine Arts Medal of the American Institute of Architects and the fi rst woman appointed to the New York City Art Commission. She served as president of both the National Society of Mural Painters and the Liturgical Arts Society (the latter founded in her studio). She was fi rst vice president of the Architectural League of New York (and one of its fi rst female members), a director of the Municipal Arts Society, and an associate of the National Academy of Design. For fi ve years, she was the director of the Department of Mural Painting at the Beaux Arts Institute of Design. Meiére also served on the boards of the Art Students League, the Municipal Arts Society, the School Art League, and the Advisory Committee of the Cooper Union Art School. Born in New York City, Meiére began her education at the Academy of the Sacred Heart in Manhattanville and studied art in Florence, Italy. She continued her studies at the Art Students League in New York, the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, the New York School of Applied Design for Women, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Beaux Arts Institute of Design in New York. “Walls Speak: The Narrative Art of Hildreth Meiére” is funded in part by the New York Council for the Humanities, a state affi liate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. The catalog, which is available for $35 plus $4.50 shipping and handling, was funded in part by a grant from the International Hildreth Meiére Association. Copies of the catalog are available by e-mailing [email protected] or by calling The Quick Center at 716-375-2494. The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts, established in 1995, serves as the primary artistic and cultural institution for St. Bonaventure University and for a six-county region in southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania. A permanent installation of the university’s collection encompasses a broad spectrum of art history from the beginning of Western civilization into the 21st century. Students and scholars alike are offered a wide range of rotating exhibitions, covering everything from contemporary photography and fi ber arts to comic art, ceramics, history and science-based exhibitions and a collection of crèches from six continents. The Quick Center galleries are free and open to the public year round. Museum and gift shop hours are 10-5pm. Monday through Friday, and noon-4pm on Saturday and Sunday. Holiday hours may vary. For information call 716-375-2494 or visit the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at www.sbu.edu/quickcenter

During the Jazz Festival weekend, listeners were treated to the sounds of a group of young men who have been friends and playing together for years. All three of the band members started playing music when they were quite young: John Diggins plays lead guitar, Pat Gaughan plays bass guitar, and Avery Maracek is the group’s drummer. John and Pat’s friendship started out through music. Pat is several years older then John, but as John explains, “Our parents were friends, and we’ve known each other all our life.” It was Pat’s early interest in the guitar that inspired John, saying, “I kind of actually started playing because he played and I looked up to him because he was older. We were kind of friends, but then we started playing music together. He played bass and I picked up the guitar.” John and Avery’s friendship started out years ago when the two were in pre-school. As time went by, the two boys didn’t see much of each other, but that changed when John started to take guitar lessons from Avery’s father, a college music professor. As it happened, by this time Avery had taken up the drums. “We (he and Avery) started to become friends again, and started to play music, and the music really brought us really all together. It’s kind of funny how it all worked out,” John tells me. One gets a feeling this is a band that was meant to be. After beginning to play formally together fi ve years ago, the group plays mostly festivals and music events in the Alfred area where they live. At fi rst the group played rock and roll but the jazz style proved too hard to ignore. Now the group plays mostly jazz, as John explains, “We play a host
of jazz standards, some jazz fusion, a lot of jazz stuff; we also do some rock pieces, but we put sort of a jazz twist on them. We do some blues too.” For inspiration they follow only the best - John credits Miles Davis as a big infl uence. As will inevitably happen with young men starting on the college path, the band members haven’t had as much time to play together lately. Pat Gaughan is a junior at Ithaca, Avery Maracek is a sophomore at SUNY New Paltz, and John Diggins will be starting as a freshman at Alfred University this fall. But each summer the guys reunite over their love for music, and continue to play
together. Having grown up together as friends gives the group a synergy and expressive freedom that takes many bands years to develop. As John says, “There’s a lot of improvisation. It’s actually sometimes hard to play with other musicians, because we know each other so well; we just blend with each other really well.” When asked about future plans, John admits it’s hard to see very far down the road, but all three members are planning to become professional musicians. John fi gures that he may teach when he is older, but before that he’s open, adding he would consider “something maybe like a rock star.”
Top to bottom: Pat Gaughan, Avery Maracek and John Diggins recently performed in Ellicottville during the Jazz Festival. Formed fi ve years ago, the band started out playing rock and roll, but the jazz style proved too hard to ignore. Now the group plays mostly jazz. For inspiration they follow only the best - John credits Miles Davis as a big infl uence.

Construction is motoring away at The Tamarack Club, Holiday Valley’s new fractional ownership Condominium Hotel and Spa. Over 150 construction workers, many from the local area including electricians, plumbers and builders are eyeing the details, working diligently and making sure the building will be ready for occupancy in four months on December 14. The building is the largest undertaking Holiday Valley has completed since building the main lodge over forty years ago. As the main entrance, porte
cochere and parking have not been completed yet, we enter (with Holiday Valley Marketing Director Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley Youth Connection Specialist Pat Morgan, and Tamarack Club’s new General Manager Richard Sandler) down the side of the building and onto the outside deck of what will soon be John Harvard’s Brew House, a full service restaurant. Views from the restaurant, and from all hotel rooms, are spectacular. John Harvard’s large picture windows grace the rear of the building, giving great vistas of the golf course, ski slopes and
surrounding mountains. Tiered seating and a central bar are taking shape in the 100 plus seat restaurant. Hearty food will be served along with a good selection of freshly brewed beer. In addition to the restaurant, a dedicated conference room and private function room will be available. The restaurant will also offer a limited room service menu - the fi rst hotel in Ellicottville to offer room service. John Harvard’s will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner throughout the ski season.

Some months back, I used the term Cliffdwellers to describe a unique species of Ellicottville residents so enthralled with our
vertical terrain that they prefer to live like birds in mountaintop aeries where they can revel in their ability to ski in and out, and gaze, hawk-like, at the splendor of the ever-changing
scenery below. Well, now I’ve got a new one for you Creekdwellers, which are a different kind of Ellicottville sub-species. Creekdwellers prefer dwellings that border swift rushing, low lying, gurgling streams, especially ones so exuberant that they form little waterfalls. These people are fascinated by the stepping stones that form creek bottoms and the wildfl owers that tend to fl ourish at a creek’s edge; they also like footbridges and strategically placed benches that cause you to rest and put everything out of your mind except the sight and sound of the water as it eagerly rushes to its destination in harmony with all that surrounds it. One such creek, Mansfi eld Creek, provides the setting for the home of Tom and Judy Mann, who leave here only reluctantly when called back to their primary residence in East Amherst, NY. They acquired the home from cousins Myron and June Luthringer who had many friends at HoliMont, and who built the home in 1982 in the style of the Alpine chalets Myron remembered from his boyhood in Germany. The home had good lines but few frills. Since the creek bubbled along from one end of the property to the other, Myron had to install a footbridge to access the door from his car which he kept parked on the road. To build the house, trucks had to go some distance downstream, and drive right through the creek to deliver lumber and other materials. Tom and Judy thought the place was perfect - then they set to work making improvements. Tom, a former paper company executive (his card today reads ‘Retired Old Guy’) revealed talents as a builder (note the sturdy new car bridge and chalet-side garage), engineer (ingeniously relocating and reassembling the children’s two story treehouse) furniture maker (nice work on the living
room end table), cabinet maker (the closet doors are perfection) and upholsterer (his two French Provincial chairs are recovered so professionally you’d swear they’re brand new). Judy, meanwhile, brought femininity and artistry to the project. Thanks to her, the second fl oor deck now warms the soul with colorful fl owers, fl ags, and a festive umbrella topped dining table.
With neighbor Rita Schroeder cheering her on, she also created fl ower gardens worthy of a magazine cover including a vegetable garden that intermixes artifacts like an old hand cranked laundry machine and wash tubs of fl owers with the radishes and lettuce. She is even redecorating the creek bed by creating a retaining wall and rearranging the creekside stones.
The interior of the home with its ground level guest suite, balconied loft, and stylish living/kitchen/dining area continues, like the exterior, to refl ect the warmth and good taste of the Mann family which claims that this is their “little piece of heaven” (Judy’s words). Judy also passes along this thought - “It’s just fun!” Come fi nd yourself a creek and join in.

INGREDIENTS:Kosher Salt to tasteExtra-virgin olive oil to taste, plus extra for garnish6 links fennel pork sausage (about 3/4 pound)1 large wild fennel bulb with stems, cut into ¼-inch pieces1 large onion, chopped3-4 garlic cloves and ½ cup chopped green or dark olives1 large can (28 oz.) peeled whole tomatoes, preferably San MarzanoLeaves from 1 small bunch basil1 pound rigatoni1 pound fresh mozzarellaFreshly ground black pepper1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
METHOD: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat for the pasta. Get yourself a 9x13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Add the rigatoni, give it a stir, and cook for 6 to 7 minutes. (It should be slightly fi rm as it will cook further in the oven.) Ladle out 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and toss in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes. (You want them nicely browned on the outside but still rare on the inside.) Put the sausages in the baking dish. Turn the heat down to medium. Add a generous 1/3 cup of oil to the skillet and get it hot. Add as many cut fennel pieces as you can comfortably fi t in a single layer and sprinkle well with salt. Cook, turning, for 7 to 8 minutes, until the fennel is nice and browned, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Use a spatula to put the fennel into the baking dish with the sausage. Cook the rest of the fennel pieces, adding more oil to the pan, as needed, and put the fi nished fennel into the baking dish. Add some oil to the skillet, then your onion and garlic, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until translucent. Dump the whole can of tomatoes and their juices into a bowl and crush the tomatoes with your hands to break them up; add that to the pan with the basil and olives and cook it down until pulpy and relatively thick. This will take about 15 minutes. Garnish the pasta with cheese, fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve it up with fresh baked bread, and a delicious glass of dark red wine.

There is a place, known to exist only in myth, where if found can give you everlasting eternal life, but with such found gifts, there is a curse that is sure to follow. The hot scorching sun rested high in the midday sky as two armies marched up the slopes of Mount Etna towards their inevitable fate. The heat poured out upon the rolling foothills, the tensions rose, for a battle of catastrophic proportions was brewing. Thousands of battle dressed soldiers of the Roman and Greek armies gazed upon the destiny that was at hand. Swords and spears were drawn as shields were held in arms, with every pounding step, the pebbles beneath their feet shook in trembling from the sheer volume of fearless men who marched the meandering pathways. As the two armies approached, eyes locked upon each other, and with a simple raise of the King’s arm a cascading wall of countless arrows shot up into the sky, darkening the sun. The battle waged for days and sparks fl ew as steel clashed upon steel and anger spewed, for this was the battle of Mount Etna, and wild fennel was the prized possession. The King of the Roman Armada, a man of great size and strength, possessed fortune and willpower beyond imagination. But, what he had in size and strength he lacked in the art of battle strategy. Blinded by his own lusts for power, he
overlooked the sheer size and strength of his Greek opponent. Surely he was fearless at heart, but full of thirsty greed; he led his men to their most darkest hour, for the Greek army was far larger and more advanced. The battle they ensued erupted into an immeasurable onslaught that waged on and on until the number of fi ghting Romans dwindled down to a few men and a tired King. The battle spread through the dense lowland forests, fruit orchards and rich vineyards. Poised by his own intentions, he found himself weary and tired, as his men, one by one were destroyed. Desperate, he trekked to the top of the mountain where he asked mighty Zeus for powers beyond imagination, so he may crush the Greeks and become King of Etna. Lying on the ground, life oozing from his body, the King had lost everything. He cried out with every last bit of energy he possessed. Up within the midst of the clouds, darkness began to sweep over, while lighting crackled and crashed, the thunder boomed, rumbling the mountain below. Hearing his requests, mighty Zeus favored the beaten King and shot a lighting bolt into the ground where he laid. Stunned by the shock, he gazed upon the burnt smoldering hole in front of him. Beginning to crawl towards it, out of nowhere, up grew an olive tree unlike any other he had seen. A glorious and electrifying gold it was, glistening in the light, the leaves
of metallic black and the olives, a dark, deep and mesmerizing crimson red. The King, shaking, stood slowly to his feet, knees buckling he grabbed a hold of the tree. Gathering his wits, he heard Zeus speak with a very loud and commanding voice. “Now hear this King, the tree you grasp is the tree of eternal and everlasting life. It’s powers come from the very soil you are standing on, the very soil your fallen army lyes on. Be weary, to eat of it is a gift and a curse.” Knowing what he wanted, the king reached out to the closest olive, plucked it from its stem and put it to his mouth. Before he could take a bite, Zeus spoke. “To eat of the olive in your hand, is to redeem your place in this world, and win the battles you seek. If you choose to indulge, it will be your place to serve me beneath the mountain in its fi ery depths for all eternity, where you will fi ll the sides of the volcano with its molten rock and magma to feed the fennel you fi ght for.” Again, driven by his own crazy willpower, the King bit into the olive. Passing his lips and entering his stomach, he felt the life he lost fl ood back into his veins, with a power unmatched by any other. The ground around him began to shake and break open, releasing the heat from down below. Bursting into the sky, past the eye can see, smoke, and chunks of rock painted the landscape. Like a shock wave, a river of red hot lava spilled down the mountainsides, covering the fallen Roman soldiers. One by one, out of death they rose
to regain life and defeat the thousands of Greeks, who, in fear fl ed down the countryside into the vineyards where they met their most untimely fate. Now given to him what he wanted, it was time to serve. Feeling all mighty and powerful, the King stood up against Zeus. It was the last thing he did. A cloud of pitch-black, whirling smoke, and fi ery dust engulfed him. Shooting out spears of fl ames that touched the stars, the mountain swallowed him and his army whole. Shouting out with regret in his voice the King said, “Neither depth, nor abyss will hold me.” The king was cast down beneath the crusts of the mountain to serve amongst the cyclops and fashion the lighting rods of Zeus. It is said in myth, to gaze upon the tree is to feel power, to eat of its fruit is to tease the gods and raise the army of the underworld. Throughout the ages and to this day, the magma shoots from the center of the mountain. It makes one wonder, what really lies beneath the volcano of Mount Etna? Sicilians often enjoy fennel and olives with an assortment of fi shes, pastas and salads, the fl avor that the volcanic soil produces within the fennel and olives is most intense and electrifyingly, delicious culinary experience ever! As always, whether it’s a fancy pasta dish or as simple as pasta with fennel, sausage and olives, always remember if you put love into it, you’ll be creating more than just great food.

We are the greatest nation on the planet. Others might debate it but, based on principles and intention, we are the alpha dog. Recently, however, a virus has infected our population. This virus spreads like wildfi re and, apparently, cannot be contained. This little bug turns ordinary, hard-working Americans into screeching lunatics with a thirst for blood. The infected gather en masse to hunt for victims. This is still America however and surely we can treat these unfortunate folks. We have the best treatment available anywhere in the world and our doctors are unparalleled in their skills and dedication. There’s one little problem. According to my insurance company this infection seems to be a pre-existing condition. Looks like the land of the free is doomed. I really didn’t want to get into a debate about health care. The whole thing seems kind of silly and you would think that the people of middle-America would get that. We are the greatest country on the planet and, as such, wouldn’t it behoove us to try and improve our health care system a little bit? We are ranked 37th in the world in terms of health care. Doesn’t the
biggest dog on the block deserve the best vet? Not according to the brainwashed psychos touring the town hall circuit. These shills for the insurance companies have one thing and only one thing on their minds. Socialism! The big S. While these people are screeching like rabid baboons, actual Americans are dying because they can’t afford basic medical treatment. I hope everybody’s proud of themselves. I know Glenn Beck is. Speaking of diseased monkeys. The misinformation being spread by freaks like Beck would be laughable if so many people weren’t taking him seriously. Death panels? Really. That little term, coined by none other than Alaska’s quitter-in-chief Sarah Palin, has become the soup of the day for the Fox and Friends crowd. That’s right. President Obama and the Democratic Congress want to kill your grandparents. As unproductive citizens they’ve served their purpose and must now be shoved into the great beyond. Afterwards their remains will be ground up and turned into a little snack food called soylent green. Delicious. The whole world is laughing at you people. Go ahead. Send me your letters. I haven’t had a good chuckle in a while. Look. For the last time. No one is looking to deprive you of your health care options. The Obama plan simply offers an option to those who cannot afford traditional health insurance. That seems simple enough considering the fact that most Americans currently don’t have insurance and many small businesses don’t even offer coverage. Doesn’t anyone consider it odd that the government requires you to
have auto insurance but doesn’tcurrently offer you healthinsurance? The old capitalistattitude that the machine ismore valuable than the humanwho operates it. Those days areover. Get used to it. For thoseof you who still might argue thatthe government isn’t capableof providing such treatment,keep in mind the United Statesgovernment currently operatesone of the most productive healthcare programs in history. Don’tbelieve me? Ask a wounded Vet. Ah Socialism. There it is.The great enemy of all freethinking peoples. Afraid ofSocialism? Stop using thePostal Service. Afraid ofSocialism? Stay off the trains,buses and airplanes. Afraid ofSocialism? Don’t try to opena bar or restaurant anywhere inAmerica. Afraid of Socialism?Denounce Ronald Reagan whoturned into Joe Stalin in theeighties when he fi red strikingair traffi c controllers and begansystematically dismantlingthe country’s mental healthprograms. Afraid of Socialism?Stay out of the DMV. Afraidof Socialism? When and ifObama’s health care plan isderailed by the wing-nutsand the billionaire insurancecompanies are given freerange to go squirrely with yourcoverage don’t go searching foran affordable public offeringbecause the goons at those townhall meetings across the countryjust killed those options for you. So. For the people gatheringoutside those meetings, I’d justlike to wish you all good healthbecause if you get sick any timesoon you’re out of luck andremember … We’re number37! We’re number 37!

Salamanca’s Walk will take place at 11am (with registration beginning at 10am) at the St. Mary’s Episcopal Church at 99 Wildwood Ave. Ellicottville’s Walk will be at noon (with registration beginning at 11am) at the Park Square. The Great Stride’s motto is “Taking Steps to Cure Cystic Fibrosis.” Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system. More than ten million Americans are carriers of the defective gene responsible for this disease. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has made great progress in CF research over the past several years, and there is now renewed hope that a cure can be found. However, CF remains a disease whose research efforts nationwide are funded almost entirely by voluntary donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Please support the work of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and their research efforts by participating in one of the Sept. 12 Walks. Find out more about how to become involved at http://greatstrides.cff.org – and you can also register to participate in either of these Walks on this same website.
GREAT STRIDES WALK: Ellicottville & Salamanca
MusicalFare Theatre of Buffalo proudly presents the musical-play: 2 Pianos 4 Hands, Sept. 9-Oct. 11 on the Time Warner Cable Stage. 2 Pianos 4 Hands is the riotous tale of two boys sharing the same goal: concert pianist stardom. Two actors, two grand pianos, and many, many comic characters grace the stage as fi fteen years of learning the art of piano playing unfolds. With music from classical to pops to jazz, 2 Pianos 4 Hands features a show of piano wizardry from Beethoven to Jerry Lee Lewis. The production stars MusicalFare Artistic/Executive Director Randall Kramer and Jeffrey Rockwell, written by Richard Greenblatt and Ted Dykstra, directed by Tom Frey.
“Our greatest fear is that classical musicians will say, ‘Well, for actors, they’re pretty good piano players.’ And that actors will say, ‘For piano players, they’re pretty fair actors.” – Ted Dykstra, March 28, 1996. That is a pre-opening night jitter expressed by one half of the creative force behind 2 Pianos 4 Hands. Little did he realize that after April 2, 1996 2 Pianos 4 Hands would become one of Canada’s most successful theatre productions ever, touring to over 100 cities on four continents in its fi rst fi ve years. Ted Dykstra and Richard Greenblatt quickly became recognized as great actors and great piano players. 2 Pianos 4 Hands has since
played to sold-out houses atthe Royal Alexandra Theatre inToronto, at the Comedy Theatrein the West End of London,and at Japan’s largest theatrecompany, Shochiku, in Tokyo.Since its humble premier, 2Pianos 4 Hands has had 5,000+performances at more than 150different theatres throughoutNorth America, Europe,Asia, Australia, New Zealandand South Africa, playing toapproximately 2 million peopleworldwide. The performance schedulefor the 2 Pianos 4 Handsproduction in Buffalo starringRandall Kramer and JeffreyRockwell is Sept. 9-Oct. 11,Wednesdays at 7pm, Thursdaysat 7:30pm, Fridays at 8pm,Saturdays at 4pm and 8pm,and Sundays at 2pm.

event. As for retail vendors, the number is up to around thirty-two, “probably the same amount we had four years ago when the rally was held on North Union Street.” The number includes some non-profi t displays like Mercy Flight and the Patriot Guard Riders. But most is retail, clothing, jewelry, or motorcycle vendors. Activities on Friday evening include a bike parade starting at the Olean Middle School and going to Bradner Stadium, which will start at 6pm. All are welcome to take part, including motorcycles, area fi re departments, and classic cars. A free concert in Bradner Stadium featuring a regional band, the Oliverios, will be held from 7-10pm. The second annual Big
Wheel Adult Race will begin elimination heats at 8:10pm, with the championship round scheduled for 10pm. Friday’s events conclude at 11pm. The rally kicks into high gear on Saturday, as Bradner Stadium becomes fi lled with bike contests, bands, food, and vendors. The day’s highlight comes during the Bike Rodeo, where visitors can either participate or just watch. The Rodeo includes a slow ride contest, a tire toss, and an event where riders (passengers only) try to bite off a dangling hot dog covered in mustard. Bikes will be judged and awards made in nine different categories. One new twist this year is to try your luck at riding a mechanical bull. The games start at 3pm and Yanetsko promises plenty of bleacher seating. Also on Saturday, trick riders will use their bikes to climb over obstacles like cars, tree logs, and fl y over people. Saturday’s musical
entertainment will be provided by Olean’s Blues Brothers from 5:30-7pm, and the Charlie Wheeler Band from 8-11pm. The dice run is Sunday’s featured event. The run is about 130 miles long, and starts and ends at Bradner Stadium. Bikers will compete for $2,000 in cash prizes. Yanetsko said there were over 860 participants last year. “Seeing all those bikes leave at once is great for spectators.” The dice run starts at 11am and will head south on Route 16 out of Olean into Pennsylvania. The party atmosphere will continue at the stadium while the bikes are away, with food and musical entertainment. The Rally will end with the announcement of the winners of the dice run and the Harley raffl e at 6pm. Further information about the Rally in the Valley can be found by calling the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce at 716-372-4433 or at [email protected]
good time at the 2nd annual Blazin’ Cruise, sponsored by the Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department. Many activities will be happening throughout the day for the whole family to enjoy. Last year at Blazin’ Cruise, over fi fty classic cars were on display and organizers Vance (Trey) Hess and Tracy West look to double that amount. “We’ve handed out over 3,000 fl iers so we are hoping to attract more cars this year,” said Hess. Registration is only $5 for your classic car, motorcycle or even fi re truck, and that includes a goody bag, dash plaques for the fi rst 100, and parking for the Freedom Days event later on that day. The $5 registration fee will be used to buy magazine subscriptions for the kids. Cars from the 20’s to present day will come from all over Western New York to join in the day’s festivities. John’s Collision of Little Valley will be sponsoring the car plaques, which feature the previous year’s Participants Choice Award winner, a 1966 Ford Mustang (voted on by the classic car owners) on the plaque. The tradition will continue with this year’s winner being featured on next year’s plaque. Entertainment will be provided by Stonetower, whom will be playing “classic rock with an edge.” There will even be a bounce house with an obstacle course for kids that “even
CruiseCONT. FROM FRONT PAGE
adults can go on,” said Hess. Try your best shot at the dunk tank, or check out the Mercy Flight helicopter, whose pilots will be available to answer your questions about the copter. In addition, the Sheriff’s Department will again offer Child Safety IDs. Food Stands will also be set up. All money from Saturday’s event will go to help the Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department purchase new advanced life support equipment. “We would ordinarily have to call Salamanca in a case of a heart attack; with this equipment we will be able to help heart attack victims even quicker,” said Hess. Hess also commented that people love the event this time of year as its location in the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds provides lots of shade, which the visitors appreciate. He expects an even bigger turnout for this year. “It’s a great event for the car enthusiast and there’s something for the entire family.” The rain date has been set for Sunday, August 23. For more information, call 716-938-6449. Freedom Days: Little Valley will also play host to Freedom Days this Saturday from 7am-10:30pm. Proceeds will benefi t the future Little Valley Skate Park. Frank Hughes, organizer of the event and owner of the Hughes Hotel in Little Valley said that “if we raise enough money, we’re looking to get the concrete down by summer’s end; if not, it will happen in the spring.” They have already slated a spot where the Skate Park for skateboarders will be.
Beginning at 7am the First Congressional Church in Little Valley will be holding an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast for $5. Part of Main Street will be blocked off for over fi fteen craft vendors. “It is the second annual street fair we’ve had,” Hughs said, and he hopes it will be as big a success as last year. “We will also be raffl ing off a Polaris 4x4 Ranger worth over $10,000.” Tickets for the raffl e are only $10. At 12pm there will be a softball game at the First Street Park between the Lachlan Chevrolet Oldies and the Little Valley Oldies. A tug-of-war will take place at 3pm with already six teams on-hand. “There is a max team total weight of 2,500 pounds, and last year we had over 200 spectators for this fun event.” The winners take home 75% of the tug-of-war entrance fee money. All day long there will be games for kids including a bubble gum blowing competition, horses from The Crosspatch, 50/50 drawings, the Greyhounds Rescue Squad and more. At 1pm there will be a chicken barbecue put on by Carson’s from Ashford which will be an inexpensive $8. Also, nationally recognized drummer Anton Oliverio and The Oliverio Band will be performing later in the day. The sixteen-year-old is recognized as one of the top drummers in the nation. All in all, it will be an exciting day this Saturday in Little Valley with lots to see and do. So spend a day in Little Valley and enjoy all there is to offer in this “little” town just ten minutes from Ellicottville.
Tobolski, a coach and program coordinator, thanked the Delity families for the countless hours Adam and Joe were out on the soccer fi eld. Tobolski has worked with the Delitys from early on stating they started out in 1979 with fi ve players, which included two of their own kids. Bill Delity, son of Adam
Delity, commented during the program that he recalls his Dad and Uncle building soccer goals out of scrap metal. He went on to say their perseverance to carry on with the program all these years were characteristics that fl owed in all aspects of their lives. Adam retired from Fitzpatrick and Weller, Inc. after 41 years and Joe retired from Signore, Inc. after 40 years. The Ellicottville Youth Soccer now boasts 18 teams and 250 players. They play for 6 weeks
during summer vacation and the Delity Brothers refereed many of those games. The Ellicottville Town Board will erect a sign to be placed near the fi eld. The fi eld is located within the Ellicottville Town Park and is on the upper lot located next to the Ellicottville Fire Department. It is the largest of fi ve soccer fi elds and currently the Under 14 and Under 17 teams play on it. The Delity Brothers are frequent referees on all fi ve fi elds.

The hallway out of John Harvard’s takes one down past the game room, men’s and women’s restrooms and to the Spa on the right. It will house seven ’treatment rooms’ for facials, wraps and massages. The curved wall that is being fi nished gives a sense of modernity to the space. Falling Waters Spa and Salon of Orchard Park will be running the spa, which will be open for bookings to condominium guests as well as the general public. Walking past the spa takes one into the lobby and the main entrance. “This area will include the front desk, bell desk and a sitting area with large slopeside window, concierge desk, retail shop and two elevators which will give access to all six fl oors,” said Sandler. On the lower fl oor one fi nds the indoor/outdoor swimming pool with glass seperation, for the use of owners and guests. In addition, there will be two public inground swimming pools. The owners locker room on the lower fl oor is
massive by any standards (there is a second owners locker room on the fl oor above as well) which will include ski/snowboard storage, restrooms and changing rooms. Also on this fl oor are condo units, a sauna and fi tness area, owners lounge and laundry facilities. “The owners lounge gives the guest the opportunity to come in from skiing for a break, watch some TV and relax with friends,” said Sandler. Condo units range from a studio up to a three bedroom, two-story executive suite. In addition, one can purchase a lockout unit, which offers the convenience of a full condo unit with the added bonus of having a ‘hotel room’ connecting that you can rent separately from your own unit. The three bedroom executive suite I saw was light and airy with the added bonus of a two-story ceiling, fi replace (all units have a gas fi replace), and good sized sitting area. Bedrooms in all units are good size as well, the bathrooms are large in size and include deep soaking tubs. Many of the units have a small balcony, and all offer exceptional views. Kitchens will have granite counter-tops and top end appliances. Units
will come fully furnished in a modern lodge feel with furniture that is American made. Like a high-end hotel, guests will also have the use of concierge services to assist in booking of restaurants, theatre or sports tickets or anything the guest could want. Bell Staff, Valet Parking Staff and even a Ski Valet to help you out on to the slopes. According to Tamarack Sales’ Jessica Dominguez, “The project is 75% sold, but we still have units available.” Buyers can opt to buy a whole ownership, or a 1/5th share that gets 10-11 weeks of use per year. “In addition, the owners can swap out and they have a choice of staying in over 4,000 properties all over the world for a low weekly fee,” she said. As construction gets closer to completion, the excitement is growing. Tamarack will employ over 100 local people, providing fi rst class service to owners and guests alike. This fi rst look inside brought to mind all the hard work that has been done by Holiday Valley management, construction crews, salespersons, and all involved to bring this to fruition.

★ ★ 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!

As a “Bank of Promise,” Cattaraugus County Bank (CCB) has pledged to help area youth become healthy, productive adults. America’s Promise is a national, non-profi t organization dedicated to improving youths’ lives. CCB has been a member since 1999 and has held various activities and fundraisers. On Friday, August 28, at CCB in Little Valley and Randolph, employees and volunteers will be outside at the drive-up window eager to wash the windshield of your vehicle. Employees are doing this in an effort to raise money supporting America’s Promise and area children. This will mark the ninth year CCB has washed customer windows. For the service rendered, they ask you to make a monetary donation. At the Little Valley location, customers will also get to enjoy a refreshing soda and a hot dog, served up with smiles from CCB employees. Also, some CCB branch lobbies will have containers to capture donation money customers are willing to provide.
