The annual school budget, which is about 2 percent more than last year’s, was adopted during a Tuesday board of education meeting. Superintendent Mark Ward said the spending plan is not perfect, but reasonable. He said it includes about a 3.9 percent increase in the tax levy, with $210,000 of the $249,000 increase is attributed to the increase in retirement system costs. Ward said the percentage increase could be reduced due to growth in the tax base In other news, Ward explained how the capital project, recently approved by voters, is progressing. He said plans continue with consultants looking into ways more state dollars can be used to offset costs. Once plans are complete, the project will need approval from state officials, with building expected to begin next summer.

Unless the raising of weeds has officially been recognized by the National Garden Society, it’s an established fact I’m no gardener. Heck, I don’t know the difference between a perennial and an annual. Which can only mean it’s that time of year to go forth and attempt to enhance one’s landscape. If you’ve put some degree of effort into your last few spring plantings, you should be seeing real results by this season. As with just about anything, prior work will be worth the effort. I’m learning that true gardening is a process and not a once-a-year trip to your favorite garden store. My preference is for big, colorful flowers (my favs are cone

flowers), and I just love how geraniums and a few greens bring new life to a ho-hum deckscape. I began work yesterday on the new house, which by-the-way, came with great landscaping, so I lucked out and can pick up where Mother Nature left off. A ton of work and some seriously dirty fingernails is beginning to pay off. Can’t wait to see what develops! So, dear readers, whether you have large or small-scale flower designs, I’m convinced that digging around in the soil is very therapeutic and good for the soul. Just don’t overdo and remember that April showers bring beautiful May flowers! Until next week … Jeanine Zimmer

The 2012-13 season has been, by many measures, a fantastic success. HoliMont will officially end its season on April 14th; our 111th day of skiing and snowboarding. Considering it never really started to “get warm” until this past week, HoliMont was able to keep the majority of the area open much longer into the season than was originally expected, which helped keep the excitement level of the Members and their guests elevated for a long period of time. The end of the season is an interesting time at a ski area. As things begin to slow down and the crowds start to thin out it gives everyone with a vested interest in the area to reflect on the highlights of the season. For HoliMont, celebrating its 50th Anniversary, it was an entertaining, fun-filled season. The Club wasted no time and unveiled The Exhibition Express lift during Fall Fest in October. The lift was HoliMont’s first high speed detachable quad chairlift and it became an instant hit. The Membership Social Committee put together and threw a gala that will go down in HoliMont history as one of the most extravagant social functions to ever take place at the Club. The Chalet was packed with both past and present HoliMont Members who showed up dressed to the nines and ready to party. Between the food, speeches from HoliMont Presidents, The Party Squad brass band entertainment, and the grand finale fireworks display it was a celebration worthy of a Club that has showcased impressive longevity. The gala was by no means the sole highlight of the season

though. Both the American and Canadian break weeks were well attended and featured some very solid skiing conditions and plenty of fun for everyone who was here. Barely a weekend went by that didn’t included an après ski party, which considering the great lineup of bands that were on the calendar throughout the season, made every weekend something to look forward to. The après parties are always a hit on Saturday afternoons as they allow Members to kick back and talk about their day out on the slopes with their nearest and dearest friends. Between the Racing Program and the HoliMont FLITE Team, there were plenty of competitions that took place this season. Watching these young, up-and-coming athletes stoke their competitive fire week-in and week-out was a treat for many and HoliMont is looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for every one of them. Midway through February, HoliMont hosted an auction were it was able to sell off 17 real estate lots, which provided enough revenue to start the infrastructure of the Club’s long awaited WestMont Ridge development project. The infrastructure development is scheduled to begin later on this spring. As the season commenced into March it was looking like HoliMont would end up having a solid season, one that was much better than the previous year, but nothing in terms of snowfall that was overly noteworthy. And then March 19th came about. At a time where, typically, people are starting to wear less layers out on the slopes we suddenly received a nearly four-day

stretch of consistent lake effect snow. When it was all over Ellicottville had accumulated nearly 2 feet of very pristine powder, which ultimately reenergized nearly every ski enthusiast out there. As we all know, powder days are cherished in Western New York and every skier and snowboarder out on the slopes was elated to say the least. And just like that, winter was back on! On Saturday March 30th HoliMont had a great day on the slopes. The annual Pond Skimming competition took place that day where 25 brave souls took to the challenge of trying to glide overtop of 100 feet of very chilly water. Some were successful, some didn’t carry enough speed and slowly sank, and some (much to the delight of the crowd) went out in a blaze of glory; throwing water everywhere as they rag-dolled into the pond. Also taking place that day was the second day of the Acrobag Tour at HoliMont. The 50’ x 50’ airbag was a hit with people of all ages during its three-day visit to the Club and with any luck it’s an event that we will be able to build on in the future. HoliMont would like to thank everyone who has walked through our doors this season. Members and guests alike have made this season one to remember. It’s been a pleasure seeing you all here and we sincerely hope that you enjoyed the 2012-13 season as much as we here at HoliMont did. Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you back next year. Follow HoliMont on Facebook (facebook.com/skiholimont), Instagram (holimont), and Twitter (twitter.com/holimont) for more news throughout the summer.

By madiSoN thiemaN, ’14 ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., April 8, 2013 — The Kwerkworks, St. Bonaventure University’s student advertising agency, will present a full-on, real-world advertising pitch at 4 p.m. April 22 in the Dresser Auditorium of the John J. Murphy Professional Building. The presentation will show the agency’s skills at strategic planning, media and creative, including a 30-second slam poetry commercial. The on-campus presentation serves as a dress rehearsal for the agency’s pitch at the

Advertising Pitch HeldThe Kwerkworks to Show Full-on Advertising Pitch on SBU’s Campus

National Student Advertising Competition (District II) in New York City on April 27. The NSAC is run each year by the American Advertising Federation, the professional association of the advertising industry. The presenters include students Kathryn Kvas, Joe Bucher, Danny Bush, Maddie Gionet and Alex Teixeira. Morgan Mack is the alternate. The NSAC assignment was to create a five-month national advertising campaign for Glidden paint, but specifically for Glidden paint sold at Walmart. Competing agencies

have to demonstrate how they would create and execute the complete consumer campaign while staying within a budget of only $10 million. The Kwerkworks will be one of 14 student agencies presenting their campaigns in NYC. Although much smaller than many of the schools in the competition, several of which offer advertising majors, the St. Bonaventure agency considers itself a serious contender. Last year, St. Bonaventure students finished third at the District II competition: http://www.sbu.edu/About_News.aspx?id=38481&terms=aaf

The Allegheny Highlands Council, Boy Scouts of America, headquartered in Falconer, New York, announced today that Bill Briggs will be honored with the Good Scout Award at their Annual Golf Tournament. It will be held at Shorewood Country Club on Friday, June 21. “We are extremely pleased,” said Derek Dawson, chairman of this year’s event. “Bill has done so much for our community for so very long. He really and truly is a good scout and a great guy, and really deserves this tribute. This is our 35th Anniversary of the Good Scout Tournament, and we promise a fun day for everyone involved.” Bill Briggs is a lifelong resident of Chautauqua County. He was a Cub Scout at a Pack that met at Fairmount Elementary School and a Boy Scout in Troop 165 at Bethel Lutheran Church in Jamestown. He admits that some of his fondest memories as a youth revolve around his scouting experiences. “It’s obvious that scouting had an impact, because he is an all-around good guy and treats

everyone honestly and fairly. He embodies what a good scout means,” Derek concluded.Bill shared that he really enjoyed Scouting in Action when he was a scout, which was run at the Guard Armory in town every year. He also went to Camp Merz for a week during the summers, and did the Mile Swim and learned to shoot a rifle at camp. He earned the rank of Star Scout. Bill attended Jamestown High School, then their family moved and he graduated from Maple Grove High School. In high school he played football, was a wrestler and ran track. He continued on to college and received his Bachelor’s Degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, and was President of the Senior Class. Professionally, Bill began a career in Banking as an Operations Officer at Cleveland Trust Bank, but then decided to come home to the family business, Chautauqua Brick. He became the President in 1979, overseeing the operation of five stores in Jamestown, Great Valley, Fredonia, Bemus Point,

and Corry, Pa. He has been on the Executive Board of the Allegheny Highlands Boy Scouts going on twenty years now, and has been the Vice President for a good part of that time. ”Bill always steps up to help with events and carries more than his fair share of the load to help the scouts,” said Dale Carlson, Council President. “He has a level head for business, and is always a conservative voice in matters of governance that has served our youth well.” Bill has always been involved in his community. He was a coach in Bemus Point Little League, and served as President. He also coached youth soccer. He is a life member of the Bemus Point Fire Department, and also served on the Bemus Point Village Board as a Trustee and Deputy Mayor. He also served on the Town of Ellery Board of Appeals. He is also a charter member, and very active in the Jamestown AM Rotary Club. Bill is married 33 years to Judy, and they have four grown sons; and one, Nathan, is an Eagle Scout. The Good Scout Golf Tournament is organized by our local Boy Scout council every year to honor outstanding community leaders who exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. The proceeds of the event help the council serve over 4000 youth and 1300 leaders in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany counties in New York, and McKean and Potter counties in Pennsylvania. They also operate Camp Merz in Mayville, Elk Lick Scout Reserve in Smethport, Pennsylvania, and their Service Center in Falconer, New York. For more info about playing in or supporting the tournament, please contact the Boy Scouts at 716-665-BOYS(2697), or visit www.alleghenyhighlands.org.

Matt Kalm, Vice President for Marketing at Shults, hands the keys to the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu to Derek Dawson, the Good Scout Tournament Chairman, as Bill Briggs, this year’s Good Scout honoree, can’t wait to get out and hit that little white ball. The car can be won in the tournament for hitting a hole in one, compliments of Shults Auto Group.

By leo mccarthy

After thirty years as a lawyer in a busy Buffalo firm and a lifetime of visiting Ellicottville for its extraordinary outdoor activities - Rick Juda is happy to count himself as one of Ellicottville’s newest resident attorneys. He still has his primary office at Main Place Tower in Buffalo, but for the past nine years he’s made his home in Holiday Valley’s SnowPine Village, and last October, decided it was time to ‘hang a shingle’ in the town he’s really taken a liking to. Richard S. Juda Jr. was born in Lackawanna in 1958. He grew up and attended primary schools in the Lackawanna/Blasdell area and in 1976 he headed off for Ithaca College. In 1980 he graduated cum laude with a B.S., from Ithaca and enrolled in law school at SUNY Buffalo. He graduated from U.B. with a juris doctorate in 1983 and was admitted to the N. Y. State bar in 1984. In 1985 he was also admitted to the Florida bar. He started out early in his career specializing mostly in commercial and residential real estate transactions and would later branch off into personal injury litigation. His work load has been consistently high for many years, averaging 10 to 20 cases per week. Juda has two staff members in his Buffalo office who are paralegals and handle many of intricate procedural details that go into a real estate transaction, but

the part of his business which consistently requires his direct involvement are the personal injury cases. Most of the clients he represents are victims of car or motorcycle accidents, but he’s also taken on a few product liability and farm accident cases. “When you boil it all down, what I do is work hard to bring about a just resolution between two or more parties who cannot agree on something. I am there to advise and represent the interest of my client and do everything possible to settle that disagreement without having to go to court”, said Juda. He went on to say that “Of course, when a case absolutely has to go to court, my client and I will prepare to the hilt to go to battle for justice, but it dramatically increases the financial burden and stress level for everyone involved and is always considered a last resort”. Rick Juda has also practiced municipal law. For many years he served as the attorney for the City of Lackawanna and was legal counsel for the Lackawanna School Board. When he’s not working hard to represent the legal interests of his clients, Juda can usually be found working hard to get outdoors and be active. He is a lifelong skier, golfer, hunter and fisherman who delights in being able to live in a town like Ellicottville which offers all those options right out his front door. When asked about when he first came to Ellicottville he said with a smile “I can remember being 16 years old and skiing down the hill at Holiday Valley and watching them build the SnowPines complex… yes, I’ve been coming to this town for long time!” Hunting and fishing are his other passions and sometimes they conflict with skiing, “Just this past week I was torn trying to decide if I should go out for opening day of trout fishing or try and hit the slopes one more time before the snow melts”, he said.

Another important part of Rick Juda’s life is his family. A single father of two adult daughters, one a freshman at St. John Fisher College and the other a senior at the University of Vermont. As expected, both are avid skiers and love the outdoors like their dad. Being such a passionate outdoorsman, it could be assumed that if he were to “do it all over again” he might choose to be a ski or golf pro, but no, Juda would have liked to have been - an “orthopedic surgeon”. He recalled a recent conversation he had with a surgeon who jokingly mentioned that “all surgeons wish they were lawyers and all lawyers wish they were surgeons” and he said with a chuckle “I really did think that”. Why an orthopedic surgeon? “I’ve always found the medical field fascinating, and even though I get great satisfaction being able to help people as a lawyer, I sometimes think being a surgeon would be more rewarding”. When asked if he has plans to retire anytime soon he said, “Lawyers never really retire. My work load isn’t getting any lighter and I certainly think I have a lot more years left in me doing this”. His plans are to eventually move into another place in Ellicottville sometime in the future. He’s not sure though if he wants a condo or a house, or if he wants to be “in town” or maybe a mile or two outside so he can spend some time on the deck just taking in the peace and quiet. Either way, Rick Juda is clearly committed to Ellicottville and the town is better off for it. Rick Juda’s Ellicottville law office is located on the first floor of the Visitor’s Center at 9 West Washington St. So if you are buying a house, been injured in an accident, or just know of a great trout fishing hole – give Rick a call - he’d be happy to hear from you. Rick can be reached at 716-852-1300 or [email protected].

(Pictured left to right) 1. The details in front porch suggest a fairy tail house. Note the shingles and filigree on the dormer. 2. A large set of windows in the living room look out to the forest. The fireplace and high ceiling add to its charm. 3. The large dining room has space for an oversized dining table.

Though it may not seem too big on the outside, inside the home is surprisingly roomy.

You could almost picture this house as the setting for Red Riding Hood’s grandmothers house. On the edge of a forest, a burbling stream in back, and the kind of filigree around the porch that could charm a big bad wolf. Even better for those of us who have more prosaic things to deal with, it’s charming and relaxing environment The front porch set the tone for the house as you approach it. The banister railings, balustrade and the details of the singles and roofline create a whimsical

entrance. One almost expects to be greeted by a kindly grandmother, holding a plate of fresh from the oven cookies. The inside holds its own charms as well. The high ceilinged living room has a bank of windows that look over the lawn and into the forest. The walls are warm pastels, and a fireplace provides warmth. Forest green cabinets adorn the roomy kitchen with its white appliances and counter tops. Next to the kitchen is a mudroom entrance. The dining room is just off the living room and is large enough for a generous dining table. In the front of the house is the master bedroom. It is a large space

with a gas fireplace and a pop out bay window. Down the hallway are two bedrooms and the bath. Outside, just off the deck is a hot tub, perfect for soothing those tired muscles. The back yard ends at a gurgling stream, the sound of which is perfect for relaxing that tired mind. Off to the side is a little clearing in the trees. The sun-dappled setting is a prefect spot for curling up with your Kindle. Back inside the unfinished basement can be left as is or finished to just about anything. There is room enough for a couple of game tables, and a wine cellar. The laundry is here as well. This tranquil setting is about fifteen seconds to the entrance to HoliMont and about a minute to downtown Ellicottville. It’s about as charming and a perfect location as you could find. Just keep you eye out for that little girl in the red hood. For more information about this property contact Cathleen Pritchard Associate Broker ERA Vacation Properties 716-983-4234.

Music SpotlightChecking Out The Tunes & Other Stuff In Ellicottville

Written By:Robby & Sherman Wilkens

April, the month that springs us towards summer, will be half over on Monday. Tax Day will also happen on Monday. Our golf season, including carts, is underway at Elkdale Country Club. Holiday Valley’s Double Black Diamond Course is scheduled to open the front nine very soon. After one of the best ski seasons in recent years we are off to an OK start to our area’s summer season of golf and other out-door FUN STUFF. The music and other FUN stuff are also progressing well. So lets take a walk this way through the week of Thursday April 11, 2013 through Wednesday April 17, 2013, where we will find nine Bands, doing ten gigs, four DJ’s, two with a Karaoke show attached, one Rolling Stones Tribute Weekend Party, several Sound System Music Events plus all the neat food and beverage specials that are offered by the great clubs and restaurants here in Ellicottville that will create our SPRING OF GOOD TIMES. THURSDAY, the week kicks off with one band and a DJ including a Karaoke show. The FUN begins at 8:00 PM in The Gin Mill with Fred & Tuck doing their excellent and good time acoustic, folk rock to country music show. FUN cover tunes performed in their unique style will, again, create a really FUN Gin Mill Music Night. Then at 9:00 PM Thursday, The PUB in Great Valley will bring on DJ Felony, and his Karaoke Show. As always, this neat show gives The PUB Patrons two options. Be part of the show or just kick back and enjoy The Local & FUN PUB Good Times. Moving to FRIDAY, our music parade rolls on at 7:00 PM in Balloons with Only Humen Humanizing Balloons music loving crowd. Only Humen, a Balloons Regular Band for over fifteen years, featuring Frank on bass, Mick on guitar and Rick,

the Animal, on drums is one of the best classic rock cover bands we get to see here in Ellicottville. This being Mick’s final show, the new guitarist Chris Koz will be on board also. They will draw a crowd so plan on arriving early to enjoy an excellent fish fry. Following Only Humen Personable DJ John Barry will be doing his really neat Personality Show-Off Show LIVE from Balloons Sound & Light Booth. Neat danceable tunes and very entertaining Chitter/Chatter will again happen in Balloons this Friday. Returning to 7:00 PM Friday Madigans, both Friday and Saturday, will have their Sound System playing Madigans Party Favorites until 10:00 PM when Club Madigans takes over. Then, The FUN & Festivities will increase till close. Also, weather permitting and crowd size, Madigans Up-Stairs Patio & Party Bar might be open. Then at 7:30 PM Friday, The Depot’s annual weekend tribute party honoring the fiftieth anniversary of The Rolling Stones will begin and continue through Saturday. The featured band for this weekend event will again be The Glimmer Twins an excellent Rolling Stones tribute band. This eight-piece band has performed all over The United States and puts on a wonderful show. You should call The Depot 716 699 4774 for more details and ticket information. We understand that the Saturday show is sold out. Moving to 9:00 PM Friday, The Gin Mill will have a new acoustic duo performing, The Dan Bennett Duo. All we know of this new band is they do cover classic rock to country tunes acoustically in a FUN, crowd involved way. Also remember The Gin Mills great yet reasonably priced menu is available until Midnight on weekends. The FUN now rolls to SATURDAY beginning at 6:00 PM in Balloons with Tas Cru on stage. From Tas Cru’s web site, here we have a true Bluesman who is known by his peers as a Blues Poet with a knack for playing great blues and writing quirky humorous lyrics. This will be a six-piece version of Tas Cru’s band and will include cameo performances by Patti Parks, an excellent blues vocalist. Another excellent Blues Night will happen in Balloons this Saturday. Following Tas Cru, DJ Flakey Frank Watson, who is also known as The Party Monster, should have his antenna in place allowing him to keep the FUN TIME flowing from Balloons Sound & Light Booth with his WACO humor,

great danceable tune selection and general FUN promotion till close. Returning to 9:00 PM Saturday, The Gin Mill will have Three Easy Pieces on their music stage. RT Live, Freddie Joseph and Jeff Johnson as we know are The Three Easy Pieces. Their choice of music continues to be acoustic, classic to southern rock with a taste of country added to the mix. Another FUN Gin Mill Music Night is on the way. Also at 9:00 PM Saturday The PUB in Great Valley will have The Big Boogie Band. Here we have a five-piece southern tier band, featuring Ron on lead guitar & vocals, Butch on rhythm guitar, Dave on drums, Duane on bass and Janet on keys. Their song list includes many cover southern to classic rock tunes along with a neat mix of the blues. The PUB will be ROCKIN place for sure this Saturday. SUNDAY our weekend rounds out at 9:00 PM with Captain Karaoke doing his really FUN Karaoke show in Madigans Downstairs Party Bar. The Captain, as always, will be playing neat ROCKIN tunes and offering Karaoke for those who wish to join in. So, visit Madigans, say hi to The Captain and be part of the show or just enjoy the FUN. MONDAY, a one Band and good eats evening begins in The Gin Mill with their many dinner specials including a spaghetti dinner and a special stuffed steak roll. Again, good times will happen in The Gin this Monday. Balloons Monday Delights will also happen. Balloons great pizza & fifty cent wings plus their happy hour drink specials will be available and hosted by Domino Derrick. Lovely Tiffany will be on leave. She will be missed this Monday evening. Then at 10:00 PM Sharpe, Jack London will be back doing Madigans Pink Monday. Gary London does his acoustic version of Pink Floyd and Roger Waters tunes in a very unique way. This Madigans Music Night is interesting and FUN. WEDNESDAY at 8:00 PM our week’s final music gig happens in The Gin Mill with Joe Wagner &Friends doing their traditional and long standing, acoustic folk to southern rock music show. Joe’s friends usually include Bongos Freddie and Gary London. As always, Retro Little Joey is also a probable friend. The music & good times in The Gin Mill are further enhanced by their excellent chicken wings which are Wednesday specials. C U Round The Music Scene. Good Stuff. No Worries.

is the more creative half. Most of the interior decorations were Rachael’s inspiration and says, “We are a team. She has her strengths and I have my strengths.” The new store is impressive, the walls have been refinished in reclaimed barn wood, and the ceiling is tongue and grove pine. The shelving is all custom made to include Birch tree accents. The wood and fixtures have all been sourced locally. The inspiration for the store came from their affection for the town. “Ellicottville is such a great place, we want to bring one more good thing to town,’ says Maynard. As far as the mix of

merchandise goes, the store will be mostly women’s fashions, but from there it seems anything goes, “we are ever evolving… we are always bringing in new stuff. If people have a brand they want us to know about, let us know.” They plan on featuring lines of eco-friendly, sustainable clothing made from fabrics like: bamboo, organic cotton, hemp, and soy. Maynard also emphasizes the quality of the clothes they will bring in, “they’re great feeling fabrics that will last a long time,” she adds. She also says they have found several lines that are normally carried in Macys and Bloomingdales, that are now branching out to smaller boutique stores. Among the lines they are bringing in: Cosabella from Italy, Honey Dew, the Yummy Tummy line of slim wear, and the Gaiam line of Yoga mats and bags. They show off a sample of a line of handbags made in Thailand

where the 2004 Tsunami had struck. The bags, made without electricity and all hand stitched, are favorites of Michelle Obama, and Laura Bush. They also plan on having swimwear, more intimate apparel, and a line of gifts, such as wine candles, made from recycled wine bottles that still have the aroma of the wine they contained. On hand will be the Adam Frank line of Lumens, stainless steel oil lamps that project a scene of nature up on the wall. So as not to forget the pets in town they will have a line of toys, travel water bowls, and scooper bags, made from recycled tires. Nouriche should be open by the time you read this. To create a unique establishment they have put all their experience and creativity into the store. “It’s been a fun process,” Maynard says of pulling the store together in so a short time. She adds with a sigh, “we have put a lot of heart and soul into this.”

Spring Cleaning

In E’Ville!It was an unusually warm spring day on Tuesday and Chuck Richardson was outside doing spring cleanup around his historic old home at 43 Elizabeth St. in Ellicottville Village. Chuck says the house is one of the oldest in town and keeping up with all the work it needs is a real labor of love. Being involved with a labor of love is nothing new though for Chuck - his other labor of love is being director of the Phoenix Adaptive Ski program for kids and adults with special needs over at HoliMont. Good on you Chuck! - Leo McCarthy

WalkFrom FroNt cover

We’re certainly in a pickle now aren’t we? Somehow, after more than sixty years, the toughest kid in the schoolyard has managed to not notice the crazy kid with the switchblade over in the corner, drooling and flailing about like a rabid dog. Now, after cleaning up the riff raff and getting our house in order, all we want to do is rest. Not gonna happen. That psycho Korean kid with the pompadour and lifts in his shoes just threw a rock at our head and threatened to burn the school down! Where’d he come from? Seriously. Where’d he come from? Twelve Presidents ago we fought Kim Jong Un’s grandfather and a billion of his Chinese friends to a stalemate on the Korean peninsula. They took us by such surprise that time that we were almost chased into the ocean until Macarthur managed to come in and save the day. Sort of. During the ensuing sixty odd years we have managed to deal effectively and not so effectively with other so called crackpots and madmen the world over. Every once in a while we’d glance in the

direction of the Korea’s and remind ourselves to deal with it later. There’s not enough Aspirin in the world to handle the headache waiting for us in the “Hermit Kingdom.” There’s been one problem with our nations Korean policy. We now have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on up there. Our entire view of North Korea has consisted of a handful of troops staring across the DMZ through binoculars. Sure, we have a few sketchy descriptions provided by a handful of defectors and a limited knowledge of the landscape provided by satellite surveillance but, unlike other nations we’ve had to deal with, we have no “boots on the ground” knowledge of the North’s capabilities or intentions. They have, with a little help from us, become the most isolated nation on the planet. Even China, their most ardent ally, seems to have lost control of the situation. This isn’t good folks. If it actually comes down to the nuts and bolts of a “hot” war, we’d probably make short work of our nutty little buddy to the north. They simply do not have the resources or the technology it would take to endure an extended military campaign against a superpower. But, and this is a very big “but”, we simply cannot be sure. We have no clear idea of their nuclear capabilities and we have no clear idea of how China would handle the situation. Also, unlike Iraq and Afghanistan, we would have a lot more to deal with in the initial first hours of a war with North Korea. Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is literally a stones throw away from the border and every weapon in the North is aimed directly at

it. I read that North Korea has the capability to unload more than a half million rounds of artillery on Seoul within the first few hours of war. The city could, conceivably, be reduced to rubble before we had a chance to react. As far as short, medium or even long range nuclear missiles? No real idea. Lets face it. A war in the Koreas would be a disaster for everyone involved. China has a mutual defense treaty with North Korea meaning that, according to the treaty, they would come to the aid of the North if it were attacked. Just what that aid would consist of this time is another one of the unknowns. China benefits from the current regime in that they don’t have to worry about guarding their southern border. Also the civilian population of the North remains a question mark. They seem to have a cult-like adoration of their leaders that borders on hysteria. What would happen if the regime was suddenly gone and millions of people who have relied on it for everything suddenly had to fend for themselves. It would be a humanitarian disaster for the entire region. The South simply isn’t capable, willing or prepared to suddenly become the caretakers for millions of helpless neighbors. So here we are. Sixty years of ignoring the problem and hoping it would go away has proven to not be a very good policy. The toughest kid in the schoolyard now has to face the craziest kid in the schoolyard. I don’t have a good feeling about any of this. Not good at all. Questions or Comment….... email Doug at: shakedowndoug@ hotmail. com

Spring is coming; our bodies are ready for new air, new activities, and new emotions. The same way we awake before this season so does nature. Spring and plants begin to bud and bloom, flowers release their pollen and millions of people are suddenly affected by this change. A common expression of this condition is called hay fever, but the right description for this is Rhinitis. According to herbal expert Steve Horne, Rhinitis is an inflammatory condition that affects the sensitive membranes of the nasal and sinus passages, the eyes and the throat. Allergic Rhinitis is caused by allergic reactions. There are other causes besides allergies, but whatever the cause, it is not fun to have congested passages. Horne explains that any time the sensitive membranes in your upper respiratory tract are exposed to irritants, inflammation can occur. Tissues swell and mucus is

secreted to try to flush the irritation away. He explains that food allergies may play a role as well. Allergic reactions to foods in the intestinal tract will hyper sensitize the immune system and make you more susceptible to respiratory allergies. Common food allergies that may be contributing to rhinitis include wheat, corn, dairy, citrus, eggs, peanut butter, shellfish and soy. Food additives, dyes and preservatives in processed foods may also be a contributing factor. It is always wise to start with an internal cleanse using good quality herbal combinations to support the body in the process of detoxifying and elimination, this may help to relief the congestion of the lymphatic system as well as the inflammation of the respiratory system. Sources of fiber such as Nature’s Three or Everybody’s Fiber, along with a good cleansing formula like Tiao he Cleanse or Clean Start are a good place to begin. Also digestive enzymes like Food Enzymes or Proactazyme Plus are a great support. Be sure to drink plenty of water as well. Nutritional Deficiencies may play a role in allergic rhinitis. When we lack essential nutrients that are needed to regulate the immune response we can originate an oversensitivity of the immune system. For instance, vitamin C and bioflavonoids (especially quercitin) have been shown to reduce histamine reactions. Citrus Bioflavonoids with Vitamin C is a good blend to supply these nutrients. Deficiencies of calcium and magnesium have also been linked with allergic rhinitis. Many of us are low

in magnesium particularly. Magnesium complex can be helpful for some people. Most of us know that Omega-3 essential fatty acids are very important to reduce inflammatory reactions; they help produce compounds that mediate inflammation, therefore, will often help ease inflammatory symptoms in rhinitis. Other nutrients that may help allergy sufferers include Vitamin A, selenium, zinc, pantothenic acid and antioxidants like MSM and Thai-go. Bee Pollen NSP is very helpful as well. Breathe Free again… I love using Tei-fu Essential Oil or Breath Free essential oil blend. Both can be inhaled to help open up blocked respiratory passages. The essential oils help to reduce inflammation and fight infection. ALJ is an allergic-relieving, expectorant and decongestant formula. It contains herbs that improve digestive function and lymphatic drainage. It is a valuable remedy for allergic rhinitis linked with food allergies or problems in the gastrointestinal tract. It is particularly useful for reducing allergic reactions in children. Hista-Block is a combination of herbs that acts as a natural antihistamine formula. It contains bioflavonoids, especially quercitin, which stabilize cells in the immune system called mast cells, inhibiting the release of histamine. HistaBlock also contains bromelain, an enzyme from pineapple that breaks down proteins and has been shown to reduce inflammation. The bitter orange in the formula is a natural antihistamine and decongestant too.

planning had created the map. The previous flood map had been based on faulty data, and the new map revealed several areas that had been thought to be in a flood plane. Those areas now are in a zone designated a fringe area that could have minor flooding. One of those areas includes the areas on both sides of Filmore, including the Sprague development in the old bat factory. Previously landowners in the areas affected had been told they must build up foundations of new construction four to five feet in height. Now buildings built in the fringe area need to have their foundation built up only eight or nine inches. The costs for the study were shared by the village, the town, Sprague Development, and Ellicott Development Company. The final version of the study will be sent to FEMA for approval and integration into their emergency planning.

dpW report Howard Morton reported that his crew had taken down the Village’s Christmas tree and the street decorations. They have been patching holes in the streets around the Village. He said they are in the process of cleaning Washington and Monroe streets.

SideWalk SNoWploW There was a long discussion regarding the sidewalk plow shared by the town and village; just toward the end of the snowy weather the plow went down. The two wheels on the rear end need to be replaced at a cost of $2,000 a piece. The two tracks on the front end may have to be replaced next year at a cost of $4,000 each. Both the wheels and the tracks have to be replaced about every two years. Harold Morton reported that parts for the Bombardier (plow) can be hard to obtain. A representative from Trackles MT had come to the village with a demo model of

Village

planning had created the map. The previous flood map had been based on faulty data, and the new map revealed several areas that had been thought to be in a flood plane. Those areas now are in a zone designated a fringe area that could have minor flooding. One of those areas includes the areas on both sides of Filmore, including the Sprague development in the old bat factory. Previously landowners in the areas affected had been told they must build up foundations of new construction four to five feet in height. Now buildings built in the fringe area need to have their foundation built up only eight or nine inches. The costs for the study were shared by the village, the town, Sprague Development, and Ellicott Development Company. The final version of the study will be sent to FEMA for approval and integration into their emergency planning.

dpW report Howard Morton reported that his crew had taken down the Village’s Christmas tree and the street decorations. They have been patching holes in the streets around the Village. He said they are in the process of cleaning Washington and Monroe streets.

SideWalk SNoWploW There was a long discussion regarding the sidewalk plow shared by the town and village; just toward the end of the snowy weather the plow went down. The two wheels on the rear end need to be replaced at a cost of $2,000 a piece. The two tracks on the front end may have to be replaced next year at a cost of $4,000 each. Both the wheels and the tracks have to be replaced about every two years. Harold Morton reported that parts for the Bombardier (plow) can be hard to obtain. A representative from Trackles MT had come to the village with a demo model of

their sidewalk plow. Apparently it had performed well enough to impress both Harold Morton and the Mayor. The problem is the new plow would cost $120,000. One advantage to the new plow is that parts would be available locally. The Mayor reported on a conversation he had with John Burrell, who said the town would be willing to pay the entire cost for the new plow, then the Village would reimburse the town for half of it out of next year’s budget. The Mayor suggested that they approve the plan and keep the current plow for backup, or for bad storms when two plows are needed. One of the board members suggested exploring a cheaper alternative. A motion was made to agree to the town proposal if the town commits to the purchase. The motion passed. The mayor reported that with the installation of new water meters and some work on the pipes over the summer the water loss to the Village has been reduced. Previously the loss had been as much as 85%, but now it is down to 15% or 20%. He said this summer they will need to install a water meter to see what the usage is in the park.

coNStaBle report Constable Howard Gifford reported on his activities. In the past month he: issued 30 summonses, and 11 warnings. He assisted on traffic detail, issued 26 parking tickets and put out a hot tub fire. He presented to the board a hold harmless agreement to be filled out when he assists a driver with a car lockout. He had asked the Village attorney to review it, and Mr. Simon had made some changes. The board made a motion to adopt the form as standard procedure, which passed. The constable will keep the forms in the patrol vehicle, and have anyone he is assisting fill one out. The mayor responded to rumors that the board or himself assigns “quotas” to the constable for issuing tickets. The mayor seemed indignant at the rumor and stated, “I nor this Village Board have ever

set a quota for parking tickets. That is absolutely not true.” He went on to underscore the point. “Nobody has said anything to anybody about quotas.” Constable Gifford reported that he is receiving a bid for maintenance on his department’s computer. There was discussion on whether or not he is using a village computer, which apparently he is not, and the one he is using is seven years old. The mayor said, “if he needs a computer all he has to do is ask.” The Sewer report was accepted as presented.

puBlic heariNgS No member of the public had attended the meeting to make comment regarding the two local laws before the board. Local law #2 for the year 2013 is a slight increase in the minimum water rates being charged to Village residents and commercial enterprises. Local law #3 for 2013 is a 5% increase in the sewer rates. Schedules of both the new water and sewer rates are available in the Village office. At this point the public hearings were closed and the board ratified the new rates by voice vote.

2013 – 2014 Budget The Village Budget for the year was submitted. In summery the total amount of money to be appropriated for the Village General Fund, Sewer and Water districts is $1,686,740. Estimated revenues for all three are $1,397,675. Both the sewer and water districts are expected to break even. For the Village $230,907 will have to be raised by taxes, and the property tax rate of $1.90 reflects this. The total assessed valuation of property in the village is $121,529,953. Copies of the budget are available in the Village office. The board accepted the budget by voice vote. The mayor mentioned that New York State has a new on-line grant application system, which the Village could use if necessary. He mentioned a cancer awareness group will put up a cancer awareness banner over Jefferson St. The meeting was adjourned.

in the district (larger tax base can reduce the impact of budget increases). The final amount residents will pay in taxes will not be finalized until tax rolls are adjustments are made for new properties and changes in assessments in July. He said some cuts will be made in the spending plan. Some BOCES services were reduced with one teaching position being eliminated due to a retirement in October. The budget also reflects the reduction of one staff member in the maintenance/transportation department where the District reorganized in February of this year. On the positive side the

budget will provide over 130 new computers (netbooks) for our students and staff, purchase of new materials aligned with the new Core Curriculum and additional professional development for the staff. We are also maintaining all extracurricular and interscholastic sports programs for our students as well as our after school programs. In addition to the spending plan (Proposition #1), voters will also be asked to vote on two propositions. The first (Proposition #2) will be to allow the district to spend $31,000 per year for five years in taxpayer money to lease two 66-passenger buses. Proposition #3 will be to allow the district to spend $28,500 in tax money to support the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Board members also approved election inspectors and voting technicians for the May 21 vote. In other news, Ward

explained how the capital project, recently approved by voters, is progressing. He said plans continue with consultants looking into ways more state dollars can be used to offset costs. Once plans are complete, the project will need approval from state officials, with building expected to begin next summer. District staff said they are also gearing up for state testing to be done in upcoming weeks and expressed concern about the testing and its requirements from the state costing the district funds. Maintenance worker Joseph Schultz was hired, part-time teacher aide Cathy Dunkleman has completed her one year probationary period. Board members also accepted a gift from the Ellicottville Sports Boosters for a home run fence (valued at $1300) for girls softball. The District is also continuing to work on the 2013-14 school calendar.

WELLSVILLE -- Rising medical costs in a poor economy can lead to creative ways to come up with the funds needed to keep an organization afloat. The Allegany ARC is using the second year of an event as their first to help in those expenses. Last year, paired with Cancer Services, the Allegany ARC introduced a new event to help promote personal wellness and raise some funds. The first 5K run was attended by nearly 150 people. “There were more registered, but weather really put a damper on it,” event coordinator, Diane Gowdy said. “The figures on how much was made last during last year’s event is not known, since it was ran through another

organization.” On Saturday, April 20, the entire thing will be ran by the ARC. All of the funds raised will go toward the staff and consumer wellness program, Gowdy said. “With the rising medical costs, we have found that it is really important to stay involved and to do what we can,” she said. “Our goal, this year, is to raise $10,000.” The run will take participants through one of the nicest neighborhoods of Wellsville, Gowdy said. THere are small inclines to be dealt with, but overall, Gowdy said, it is through side streets, never going into the main part of the city. The route will be marked, but for those looking for more of a detailed description, from the run site: starting at 240 O’Connor Street (Allegany Arc Shine Building), take a left on O’Connor Street Ext, Right onto Farnum, then a sharp left onto O’Connor. Follow until Herman Avenue. Take a right onto Herman, left onto John Street,

right onto Fairview, left back onto Farnum Street. Follow until Farnum meets Scott Avenue. Take a right onto Scott. Follow Scott until East Pearl Street. Take a left on East Pearl and follow around to meet Madison Street. Take right onto Madison, left onto Cummings Place, follow around to take a right onto Maple. Turn right back onto Madison Street, left back onto Scott Avenue, left onto Jefferson Street, right back onto Maple, left onto East Pearl, right onto Railroad Avenue following into Farnum Street, turn right onto O’Connor Street Ext and right to finish at 240 O’Connor Street. Those that are interested in running for the cause can contact Diana Gowdy or Heather Perkins at the Allegany ARC at (585)593-5700. Registration is $23. The race is set to begin at 9 a.m. for the Kids Fun Run and 9:30 for walkers and runners. A registration form can be downloaded from www.alleganyarc.org.

★ ★ 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.
