By Susan WhistlerSummer is fi nally here and

with it the usual assortment of beer festivals and country fairs. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve never met a funnel cake or bratwurst I didn’t like and I still can’t resist a man in lederhosen; but if you’re looking for something completely different from the

oom-pah bands and contests involving small children and greased pigs, I’ve got a great suggestion. Check out one of the annual Seneca Nation pow wows this July. It’s an opportunity to learn about our area’s oldest native culture and have a lot of fun in the process.

The Seneca Nation is one

of the original Five Nations of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy which boasts a democratic government that pre-dates the United States Constitution. Haudenosaunee means “People of the Longhouse and is comprised of chiefs from the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Mohawk. This union was later expanded to include the Tuscarora, becoming the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy. At the time of the formation of the Iroquois League, the original fi ve nations

“Art in the Garden”

By Susan WhistlerThe weather gods were

smiling on our little village last weekend while guitars gently wept and rocked, classical overtures inspired, fi reworks exploded over the slopes like a super nova and the audiences just kept dancing and smiling. I have to say that I have never enjoyed a concert series more than the E l l i c o t t v i l l e Summer Music Festival last weekend held right here in our own back yard. Holiday Valley and the E l l i c o t t v i l l e Chamber of Commerce deserve big kudos for throwing one of the best parties of the summer and possibly the year. It was perfect!

I grew up in Southern California in the 70’s and so I’ve been fortunate to have seen some really great concerts in some equally great outdoor venues. The School House ski run/Number 1 fairway at Holiday Valley provides one of the best outdoor concert venues ever. You’d have to try really hard to fi nd a spot on the hill to spread your blanket and enjoy the contents

As Good As It Gets!of your cooler without having a good view of the stage. Even better, you don’t need to wear shoulder pads or a helmet to make your way safely to the nearest portable “facilities” or concession stand…and the scenery is BEAUTIFUL!

Sister Hazel kicked off the festival on Friday

evening and it’s easy to understand why Hollywood has used their music in several box off ice hits over the past fi fteen years. I love their tight harmonies and pithy lyrics. My personal

favorite was “Everybody Needs a Go To Karaoke Song”. They got that right.

The Buff alo Philharmonic on Saturday night was nothing short of fabulous. There was something in their program for every musical taste. Associate

C o n d u c t o r M a t t h e w Kraemer threw everything from Cole Porter to Tch a i kov s k y into the musical pot, added a little Ray Charles and Motown for spice and stirred. The

result was delicious. What could be better than listening to a live performance of the 1812 Overture while watching one of the most s p e c t a c u l a r fi reworks displays in the history of the world?

Sunday on the hill with The Guess Who was

like spending an evening reminiscing with old friends, especially for those of us who grew up with their music in the late 60’s and early 70’s. There are only two

Seen in Town this Week • Ellicottville Times Photos

Ellicottville just experienced one of the best Fourth of July weeks that many of us can ever remember. The weather, music and other FUN stuff were wonderful. Our Chamber of Commerce and local clubs really did an excellent job of putting together the very fi ne entertainment we got to experience. Thanks go to all of you. Hopefully, the July weather we just had will stay with us for a while, so we may continue to enjoy the out-door good times that have been such a neat part of visiting and living here in Ellicottville.

Our out-door FUN is headlined by the wonderful golf we get to experience. Both Holiday Valley’s Double Black Diamond Course and Elkdale Country Club are in mid-season form and open to the public. Just call either course, make a Tee time and get out and enjoy the summer good golf times both courses offer.

The music and other FUN stuff happening here is also still right up there. Starting today, Friday July 6, 2012 through Thursday July 12, 2012 we will have eleven Bands, two DJ’s, at least two Sound System Music Happenings plus the many food and beverage specials offered by the wonderful restaurants and clubs we have here in Ellicottville.

The PUB in Great Valley will again be music free this week. However, you still will be able to enjoy The FUN and local atmosphere found regularly in The PUB which also includes some excellent eats, or if you wish, munchies.

The Depot also has a note for us all; “If food, liquor, & Laughter is what you are after, The Ellicottville Depot is your place.

The fi rst of The Sound System Music Events will again happen in Madigans. Around 7:00 PM, Madigans Up-Stairs Patio &Party Bar will have their Sound System playing their version of “Party Favorites” until 10:00 PM when Club Madigans takes over. Then, as they always do, The FUN & Festivities will increase till close.

The band parade begins at 7:00 PM Friday evening with “The All Star Band”. Brothers Kenny and Wade Hawkins, Rodney Appleby and Flute, who comprise “The All Star Band”, are World Class, Expert & Soulful Funk Masters. They play an excellent selection of tunes in a manor that is second to none. A lot of their tunes will have a R & B sound which will create even more good music times in Balloons this Friday evening. Following “The All Star Band”, “Personable DJ John Barry” will be LIVE in Balloons Sound & Light Booth doing his “Personality Show Off Show”. This “Sound & Light Show”, as always, will include a wonderful selection of danceable tunes and John’s unique Chitter/Chatter till close.

Returning to 9:00 PM Friday, The Gin Mill will have country singer-songwriter “Sean Patrick McGraw” on their music stage. Sean has been the

opening act for several big name country musicians. His gigs here in Ellicottville have always been very well attended and for good reason. He performs and brings on as his billing says, “It’s a Beer Drinking Sean Patrick McGraw Singing Country Kinda Night” which will be totally FUN and make The Gin Mill a really JUMPIN place. Also remember, The Gin Mill serves their excellent, yet reasonably priced, menu till midnight on weekends.

Saturday’s music parade begins at 6:00 PM with “Only Humen” an Ellicottville veteran and favorite band performing in Balloons. “Only Humen”, is an excellent three-piece, FUN, classic rock band with Frank, on bass, Jon on guitar and Rick, The Animal, on drums. This excellent band will be doing what they do best, which is performing wonderful classic rock from the seventies, eighties and beyond in a way that will have a Humenizing effect on the music loving Balloons Crowd. Following “Only Humen” “DJ Flakey or Chatty Frank Watson”, Ellicottville’s Party Monster, will take over from Balloons Sound & Light Booth. Frank, a resident of “The Disoriented DJ Home”, will, as always, keep the party going with his danceable tunes, and FUN chatter till close.

Returning to 7:00 PM Saturday, “Acoustic Kuk” will be entertaining The Patrons of The Silver Fox with his neat, acoustic version of many singer/songwriter tunes from the last four or fi ve decades. Kuk’s music is always up lifting and done in his unique, audience friendly and entertaining style. This will be a great Silver Fox Music Show.

Then at 9:00 PM Saturday, “Roll The Dice” will be ROCKIN The Gin Mill with another really FUN music show. As most of us know, this is a retro to classic rock band that includes Ellicottville’s Freddie Joseph. Their music consists of most everything from The Rock A Billy era through the eighties and also includes a bit of a country sound. They are FUN and will create another Super Saturday Music Night in The Gin Mill.

After a quiet unwind Sunday we move to Monday beginning in The Gin Mill with their “All U Can Eat Spaghetti Dinner” for only $6.99.

The fi rst music of the new week, “Brews & Bluegrass”, will begin at 6:30 PM Monday in The Ellicottville Brewing Company featuring music by “The Blue Mule Band”. Bluegrass with heart performed in this excellent fi ve-piece band’s interesting way will, for sure, make for a FUN Music Evening in The Ellicottville Brewing Company.

Monday rounds out at 10:00 PM Sharp with Madigans Church on Monday. The Reverend Jack along with The Deacon will again be providing another night of original Honky Tonk to Rock-A-Billy tunes done in their unique and FUN way. Thereby creating another

really FUN Madigans Music Night.

Wednesday we again will have two gigs. First at 7:00 PM Balloons will present, as a presale $15.00 ticked event, Internationally acclaimed Contemporary Blues Artist “Ana Popovic”. She and her band will perform their world recognized Contemporary Blues Show. Ana has shared the music stage with the likes of BB King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray and many more. This great guitarist/singer’s band will transform Balloons into Blues Heaven this Wednesday evening.

Then at 8:00 PM The Gin Mill will have Joe Wagner and John Winston doing their neat sixties through the eighties folk to southern rock acoustic music show. As we all know, this Gin Mill Tradition of well over twenty years is one of the best and most FUN music nights in Ellicottville and The Gin Mill has it going every Wednesday.

Thursday will also be a two-band evening. Beginning at 7:00 PM, the second gig of The Gazebo Series, sponsored by Five Star Bank and organized by our Chamber of Commerce will have “Stone Row” on The Gazebo Stage. From their web site, “Stone Row weaves a rich tapestry of Celtic and World music”. They include fresh arrangements of old classic and captivating originals making this “Stone Row” show unique and FUN.

Then at 8:00 PM Thursday we have a change; The Gin Mill will have “Scott Kirby” performing his brand of Costal inspired Folk Rock or if you wish Beach Rock. Scott is quickly expanding his popularity across the country with his story telling style of song writing and humor, which will make this Thursday Evening Gin Mill Show one you, will not want to miss. The Weekly Notice Band will return next week.

While recently rereading John Steinbeck’s dust bowl masterpiece, the “Grapes of Wrath” I came across his famous reference to Route 66. Actually, there is an entire chapter dedicated to the road and the path to California. Steinbeck called it “the mother road. Th e road of fl ight.” Th e “Mother Road” tag stuck and it is oft en referred to as such. Th e road also became known as the “Main Street of America.” Th is phrase, however did not originate with Steinbeck. Th is was originally used to describe the Lincoln Highway which was built two decades before ‘66’ in 1913.

Th e Lincoln Highway originates at Times Square, in New York City and ends at the San Francisco Bay Bridge. Th ere are over 3,000 miles of road passing through New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California. Th is great road still exists and still winds its snaky two lanes across America. It’s not a straight line but a series of curves and turns that cut through the east, the heartland and the west. Th e English poet William Blake wrote, “Improvement makes straight roads; but crooked roads are genius.”

Th e Lincoln Highway began at a time before there were dedicated Federal highway funds and four decades before Eisenhower’s massive Interstate Building program of the 1950’s. It all started with an idea from Indiana businessman and founder of the Indianapolis Speedway, Carl Fisher. He pitched his idea of a “coast to coast rock highway” to other businessmen, particularly in the fl edging automobile industry. His approach was simple: build it and they will come. And they will have to purchase an automobile to do that. One of his major supporters was Henry Joy, president of the Packard Motor Company. In fact it was his idea to name the road aft er President Lincoln. Th is was a decade before the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC would be dedicated.

Not all of his colleagues were in favor and willing to contribute to its construction. Henry Ford was opposed to this idea. Although he certainly

liked the idea of a coast to coast highway, he felt that if it were to be built with private funds the government would always expect the private sector to build and maintain roads. Despite his objections the Lincoln Highway did get built. It remained “Th e Lincoln” until the late 1920’s when the country converted to a number system for highway identifi cation. Before that there was the Jackson Highway, Bankhead Highway, National Old Trails Road, the Dixie Highway and many more. Th e majority of the ‘Lincoln’ became I-30 with a few pieces merged into US 50 and US 1. Recently, thanks to the interest of the Lincoln Highway Preservation Society red white and blue signs and markers labeled with the original name appear across the long stretch of blacktop.

For many years the road enjoyed heavy traffi c on its original two lanes. Along the way were countless diners, gas stations, and even an elephant museum and a restaurant shaped like a coff ee pot. (Both of these are in Pennsylvania)

Today, Interstate 80, a modern four lane road runs parallel to it and seems to have replaced it as a main thoroughfare, particularly in the west. It is the same way I-40 runs next to old 66 for many miles from Texas to California. I have been on some long sections of this road and have never been disappointed with the sights, the small towns and the people. What seems surprising to a lot of people is that my favorite stretch is through Nebraska. Yes, Nebraska.

Now most people in the east think that everyone in the cornhusker state wears old overalls, a straw hat and is never too far from a pitchfork. Nebraska is really not like that. Although corn and wheat production are a major part of the state’s economy cities

like Omaha and Lincoln are home to large fi nancial service, banking, insurance and high tech industries. One mustn’t forget that this is the home state of Warren Buff ett.

Th at said, it is truly part of what we call “the heartland.” And despite the diversity of business and the dynamic cities, it is this part that I fi nd the most interesting and appealing. You can head east

through Nebraska shortly aft er passing Cheyenne, Wyoming. Th en it’s Sydney, and North Platte and Kearney with a long stretch to Omaha of almost 500 miles from Cheyenne. Th rough most of this I-80 is within view as the Lincoln appears to be in its shadow. As you roll along the line about every 15 or 20 miles you pass through a small town. All that remains are a few worn out buildings and the all important grain elevators. As they did in the early part of the 20th century farmers deliver their corn and wheat to be weighed and loaded on passing trains. Th e hopper cars move east to processing plants. And between these towns there is oft en nothing but endless rows of corn and wheat, squared off by giant trees planted to shield the wind in the 1930’s. In fact, if not for a few telephone poles and the giant sycamores, the landscape looks as it must have over 100 years ago. If you are inclined to be a traveler rather than a tourist (travelers are there for the journey, tourists are there for the destination) you can stop your car and get out. Th is is the heartland. You can see it, smell it and feel it. Th is is where immigrants from Europe were drawn based on advertisements describing warm weather year round and 12 month growing seasons. Here is where these rugged and brave people from Sweden and Norway came and dedicated themselves to carving a life. Th ey worked hard in the short hot summers and endured the bitter winters. And somehow they managed to tame a wild country. No one in my family came from this area yet it feels as close to ‘home’ as anywhere else.

Th en you can jump back on the Lincoln and take in more of the heartland. Actually, it’s the heart and soul land.

Until next time…..

occupied large areas of land in Southeastern Canada and the Northeastern United States. The Seneca occupied territory that stretched throughout the Finger Lakes area in Central New York, and into the Genesee Valley in Western New York.

The Seneca people call themselves O-non-dowa-gah, (pronounced: Oh-n’own-dough-wahgah) or “Great Hill People. Like the other Iroquois tribes, they lived in longhouses, which were long, narrow bark-covered dwellings that housed several families from the same clan. There are eight Seneca clans, each named for a different animal. They are the Bear, Beaver, Turtle, Wolf, Deer, Hawk, Heron, and Snipe. Clan membership is passed on to children through their mothers. The Seneca Nation of Indians currently has a total enrolled population of nearly 8,000.

Pow wows originated with the indigenous Native American tribes of the American West. They began as cultural festivals

akin to county fairs that brought several different tribes together to meet, celebrate and compete. The general program has changed very little over the years. This year there are two local pow wows associated with the Seneca Nation.

The fi rst pow wow is sponsored by Iroquois Post 1587 and runs from July 13-15 at the new Cattaraugus Community Center at 12767 Route 438 in Irving, NY 14081. The theme this year is “Honor All Veterans”. Bud Thompson, co-chair of the Iroquois Post 1587 Veterans Pow Wow said that. “This refl ects the Seneca

people’s deep respect and appreciation for all veterans, both native and non-native.” The theme makes this pow wow really special. There will be color guards from all over the country as well as the opportunity to honor family American fl ags and our local veterans.

Several different Native American Tribes will participate in The “Seneca Pow Wow 2012” which will be held July 21-22 at Veteran’s Park on Broad Street in Salamanca, NY. Both events will feature drum and dance competitions as well as traditional, food and craft vendors, educational exhibits, competitive western style and smoke dances as well as drum competitions.

I can’t think of a better way to enjoy a beautiful summer weekend than soaking up some local culture and honoring our veterans. Hope to see you there!

original members of the group remaining and all the “new” band mates hit just the right notes and didn’t disappoint. They had everyone on their feet and delivered all those great hit singles just the way we remembered them…or thought we did. What a night!

I thought the best and

most amazing part of the festival, aside from the magnifi cent music and fabulous fi reworks, was the audience. I have never been to any concert, indoor or out, in the presence of such a fun, enthusiastic and respectful group of people. Brian McFadden, Executive Director of the EVL Chamber commented

that there was not so much as a paper cup left on the slopes after any of the concerts. Thanks again to Holiday Valley, The EVL Chamber of Commerce and all the wonderful people who attended this festival and made this weekend so special. I love this place!

By Jennie AcklinRyan Michelle Wlicox,

Assistant Executive Director of the Cattaraugus Foundation, spoke with the Ellicottville Times on Monday, July 2, about the newly established fund for Horse Resource. “This fund allows individuals to make donations of any size, from small to “signifi cant”, says Ryan, and the Foundation will advise donors of tax deductions and other administrative services.” Anyone interested in donating to Horse Resource can do so online at www.cattfoundation.org, or directly at our off ice - Community Foundation, 120 North Union Street, Olean NY.

Annie Widger is responsible for initiating the 501 (c)(3) application, after talking with Lori Northrup (Golden Stride

Walker Ranch) about the challenges and issues Horse Resource faces. Widger started researching avenues in February, and found a terrifi c partnership with the Community Foundation. “I cannot get over how helpful they have been - they made this happen,” said Widger, “People can make donations of horse care items, horse trailers, or donations of farms and farmland, just to name a few of the many ways to help..” There are also donation boxes around the county at various retail outlets, such as the Purple Doorknob shop.

In a press release dated June 22, 2012, Ryan Michelle Wilcox outlines the purpose of Horse Resource, and some of the services provided by Community Foundation.

A recent study conducted by Harris/Decima and commissioned by Purina concluded that Canadian pet owners prefer to socially interact with their pets rather than other people. Well, imagine that! Human beings in this country would rather hang out with domesticated animals instead of friends and family! Shocking!

Are you telling me that you prefer to sit there with Tabatha on your lap who’s chucking you under your chin with her paw and purring so loud she almost drowns out the lunatic next door who’s playing “Ba Ba Ba, Ba Barbara Ann” at 88 decibels to prove to the neighbourhood he’s got even worst taste in music than the guy who went deaf listening to Metallica?

You’re not saying you’d rather wrestle with Sparky on the living room rug than watch teenagers speed by your house throwing empty beer cans on the lawn?

Because if you’re saying you prefer pets to people that is a clear violation of human rights – that is, the right of a man to stand too close to you in line at the supermarket, reeking of cigarette smoke and without being asked, regaling you in the highlights of his latest moose hunting trip to Cochrane.

A human preference of pets over real talking and upright walking people!?! Really? Exactly how icky have humans become when they place second in a popularity contest to creatures who have fl eas and poop in your fl ower bed?

Bottom line: feeding your goldfi sh is a more socially and emotionally rewarding experience than sitting for seven hours on an airplane next to a woman who’s a practising homeopath and keeps offering

you organically-grown fl ax seeds.

I hope that did not sound too personal or somewhat bitter, but I am not the only one who concluded a long time ago that a family member who drinks from a dish on the fl oor is a lot more reliable than the tall one drinking from the bottle.

When Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver returned to England after travelling the globe and meeting the world’s complete range of human beings, some the size of his thumb and some the size of the C.N. Tower, he … moved out of the house he shared with his wife and … into the shed with his horse.

Why? “Because a horse is a horse, of course, of course. And no one can talk to a horse of course. That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed.” (Sorry but sometimes in order to get through social functions I’ll fantasize about playing ‘one potato, two potato’ in the barn with Northern Dancer.)

According to the Edmonton Journal, the study also revealed that 53% of Canadian owners fi nd their pets more trustworthy than people. And while 99% of Canadians talk to their pets, 33% have confi ded deep secrets to their four-legged friends. (That’s probably because when their two-legged friends hear the confession they might feel morally obligated to call the police.)

I’m waiting for the survey that asks people about their preferences of children versus pets. I’m guessing the results will prove to be a better birth control device than abstinence.

The survey went on to detail a list of pet and owner interactions including using their beloved critters and confi dantes, matchmakers, personal trainers and even therapists. I’m not sure about that last one. I think that if you truly believe Shania Twain is sending you secret, telepathic sex messages and begging you to come live with her in Switzerland … well, Drooling Ol’ Gus might just shrug but you, sir, should really seek professional help.

Instead of Purina spending

money on surveys to confi rm the obvious, maybe they should just read that letter from a motel owner that’s been circulating among pet lovers for at least 20 years.

Apocryphal perhaps, but no statement on the behavior of people and pets has ever come close to nailing it like this one.

As the story goes, a man wrote a letter to a small American motel he planned to stay at on his annual two-day drive to Florida in the fall.

“I have stayed at your lovely little motel many times in the past but now I have a dog. We’re kind of inseparable and I was wondering if he too could stay at your motel. My dog is clean, well-groomed and very well-behaved. I know this is a lot to ask but would you be willing to let him stay in the room with me for one night?”

The motel owner’s reply was swift and to the point.

“I’ve been operating this motel for over 30 years. In all that time, I’ve never had a dog steal towels, linens, silverware or paintings off the wall. I’ve never had to call the cops to remove a dog from my premises in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And no, I’ve never had a dog take off without paying the bill. So, yes, indeed your dog is more than welcome to stay at my motel. And if the dog will vouch for you, you can stay as well.”

Only arrogance prevents us from admitting that pets are better beings than people. The privilege is ours.

their job or gets divorced, the horses are the last concern,” Ms. Widger noted. “Our thought in creating Horse Resource was to provide a network that could help. We would match people with resources to people and horses without.”

According to Ms. Widger Horse Resource has helped fi nd homes for more than a dozen area horses and has assisted the SPCA in Cattaraugus County with many others.

“Some of our fi rst horses to rehome were the result of a call from my veterinarian,” said Ms. Widger. “She had a client who could no longer care for her horses and we had them in loving homes within a week.”

As a 501(c)(3) public foundation CRCF will receive donations on behalf of Horse Resource, allowing donors’ gifts to be tax deductible. The Foundation will issue grants from the Horse Resource Fund for the purchase of feed and other related needs for rescued horses.

Donations to the Horse Resource Fund can be made in care of the Community Foundation at 120 North Union

Street, Olean, and online at www.cattfoundation.org.

To learn more about Horse Resource, visit www.horse-resource.org.

Horse Resource has two upcoming events.

In conjunction with the Ellicottville Fire Department and Golden Stride Walker Ranch of Ellicottville, Horse Resource will off er a Horse Rescue Preparation Training Course for area fi rst responders 7 - 10 p.m., Sept. 21, 2012, at Golden Stride Walker Ranch.

This course is free of charge to fi rst responders, paid for by the Ellicottville Fire Dept. For more information contact Chief Ed Fredrickson, Ellicottville Fire Dept., 716-699-2717.

Horse Resource will also be holding a Tack Swap/Auction December 1, 2012, at the Allegany Community Center. The tack swap will begin at 10 a.m. followed by an auction at 2 p.m.

Anyone interested in renting a table for $10 to sell tack should contact

Ms. Widger at 699-2940 or Ruthe Riehle at 373-

Foundation provides to its fund donors administrative services such as gift processing and acknowledgments, investment management through a professional investment manager, and tax fi ling. Any nonprofi t organization or any organization seeking nonprofi t status interested in starting a fund at the Community Foundation can benefi t from the these services.

Zoning Board of Appeals met Thursday August 5, 2012, with one item on the agenda to be heard. Chris Wood presented a revised site plan for Miranda Development's Tim Hortons restaurant. Two variances are being requested: 1.) A 16” variance for the parking lot setback, and 2.) a

variance for the 20' buff ered landscaping between the front of the building and Route 219. After a brief discussion, the ZBA set a public hearing for August 2 at 6:00pm.

Ray Miranda spoke with the Ellicottville Times before the ZBA meeting, discussing the revised site plan, required

variances and the drive-thru capacity of the Ellicottville location. Once all approvals have been given, Miranda hopes to begin construction in the fall, with an early winter target for opening.

The next scheduled ZBA meeting is Thursday August 2, 6:00pm.

Summerfest Photos by Ron Kubicki

Elementary Principal Connie Poulin discussed a summer six-week special-education program under contract with BOCES, so that school buses and minivans will be seen “out and about”.

Bob Miller, high school principal, gave an update on summer school attendance, which is down from 20 students last year to fi ve to 10 this summer. He presented regents results and compared them to 2011, detailing sciences, social studies, mathematics and English in three categories: Pass with 65 percent, Pass with 85 percent and Pass with 90 percent. Fifteen more students took the exam this year.

Students in the 65 percent pass category had an overall decline of 2 percent. Students in the 85 percent pass category had an overall decline of 13 percent, with an increase of 22 percent in science and a decrease of 40 percent in English. Students in the 90 percent-plus pass

category had an overall decline of 2 percent, again showing a strong increase in science (31 percent), but a decrease of 34 percent in English.

Miller also presented a report on an algebra pilot program initiated by ECS Teacher Melissa Reedy. She developed a pre-algebra program for the 2010-11 school, followed by algebra in the 2011-12 school year, which showed a signifi cant improvement in test results.

A test group of 10 students scored in the below-65 percent range in 2010, then showed score results averaging in the upper 70s after completing the pre-algebra/algebra program in 2012. Miller commended Reedy’s initiative in creating the program and ECS may be sharing the program with other schools.

The next meeting of the newly elected Board of Education will be at 7:30 p.m. July 31 in the ECS high school library.

As for her hopes for this year’s fair, Ms. Charlesworth said that they are probably the same as always: that it’s successful, everyone’s safe and .. that we don’t have much rain. She said the fair’s hometown feeling and all-around value are what keep people coming back.

“We have a lot of local vendors and a lot of 4-H and agriculture but then we have big-name entertainers and monster truck shows and motor events, so it kind of spans from every angle,” she said.

This article is the fi rst in a series of stories that The Ellicottville Times will run on the Cattaraugus County Fair. Next week’s fair article will focus on musical entertainment and grandstand events.

Master Your Gardenaster Your GardenBy Barbara Kozlowski, Master Gardener

Door prizes, free admission & refreshments, informational displays throughout the day at the Salamanca Garden Glub Flower Show on July 14.

Summerfest

What gardening season we have had so far! Early warm weather in March, heavy snow in April, May and June with a mixed bag and now July’s heat. Have to love Western New York. We should glad we didn’t receive the nasty rains and winds that occurred to the south of us. If you are at all like me, I’m checking on my new plantings in the vegetable garden

daily. I check to see if watering is necessary, if any harmful pest are devouring my plants and of course pulling any weeds that have sprouted overnight. So far, so good!

Controlling garden pests is almost a full time job unless you did some companion planting to encourage the benefi cial insects and discourage the harmful ones. When you are checking your

plants, take a bucket of soapy water to drop any harmful insects in. But try identify the insect so the benefi cial insects are not the ones ending up in the bucket. Weeds are also garden ‘pests’. Mulching or pulling them on a regular basis will stop them from robbing your plants of the nutrients in the soil. Weeds should not be pulled from ‘bone-dry’ soil. This can eff ect any moisture in the soil. Water fi rst, then gently tug at the weed to insure getting the whole root, shake the soil back into the garden and compost the rest.

Now that we see more and more fl owers appearing, remember to ‘deadhead’ - remove spent fl owers - to encourage longer fl owering and/or repeat fl owering. This works especially well with annuals but perennials benefi t from ‘deadheading’ also. You don’t have to wait until fl owers are spent, cut fl owers for a lovely bouquet for your porch or to share with friends.

Our lawns are taking a beating with the hot, dry weather. Unless you are able to deep water your lawn frequently - a good inch or more - keep the grass a little longer. The

longer grass will protect the roots from drying out. Grass is a cool weather crop and will go dormant during periods of little to no rain or watering and excessive heat. When the rains and cooler weather return, your grass will again begin to grow.

WEDNESDAY IN THE ARBORETUM begins on July 11th at 7 pm. The schedule for these informative sessions appears in this paper and we look forward to seeing you there. Also, the Master Gardeners will have plants available for our ‘Pick-a-Plant’. This is a fund raiser for future Master Gardener programs like GARDENING DAY in the Spring.

Lawrence, who runs www.heartrateup.com, which hosts 6 Hours of Power among numerous other outdoor athletic events throughout the year in Western New York, said 6 Hours of Power is a unique and appealing event because it promotes performance, endurance and pure power of any mountain biker.

"It's the racer against himself or herself, 10-mile laps of some of the most manicured and demanding single track on the east coast, a spectrum of talent from several surrounding states and Canada and a positive vibe second to few in the industry," he said.Our volunteers, local shops and national sponsors pour their hearts into 6 Hours of Power and we are happy to have the support of a terrifi c venue such as Holiday Valley," he said.

Classes for solo cyclists are based on age and include under-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49 or 50-and-up. Male, female and co-ed teams will compete in one of three combined-age groups: under-30, 31-45 or 46-and-up. Single-

BICYCLE RACECONT. FROM FRONT PAGE

speed cyclists riding solo or with a team will not be divided into age groups.

With all bikes in the racks at 9:45 a.m., cyclsists will begin the race with an 1/8th-of-a-mile LeMans-style running start then retrieve their bikes and continue on the course. According to www.heartrateup.com, the fi rst water station will be at mile three, which has a short recovery section that leads to "a beautiful and challenging single-track haven on state land.

The second water station includes "another recovery area and fl at gravel section that lets riders recover for the trip back down the mountain to the transition area." At the transition area, riders must dismount and walk their bikes through the timing area, where their lap times will be recorded.

Riders can then rest, eat or hydrate and proceed on the course through the 4 p.m. cutoff time. Cyclists can set up their pit areas just beyond the transition area from 6-8 p.m. or at 7 a.m. on race day. The race will off icially end at 6 p.m.

In addition to the race, 6 Hours of Power will feature a post-race pasta party at 4:30 p.m., door prizes and awards, the latter of which will be presented as follows:

Overall solo male, solo female and overall team winners will receive cash, trophies and prizes.

Trophies will be awarded three-deep in all age groups (male and female), plus a product prize for fi rst-place in each solo group.

Trophies will also be awarded three-deep in the male, female, co-ed and single-speed divisions and a product prize will be presented to the fi rst-place winner of each.

Mr. Lawrence said that heartrateup.com is luck and proud to keep the tradition alive and to work feverishly to host a practical, supportive and demanding endurance event.

"Our volunteers, local shops and national sponsors pour their hearts into 6 Hours of Power and we are happy to have the support of a terrifi c venue such as Holiday Valley," he said.
