Last year Kody revealed that he and his grandfather had purchased the old bat factory on Elizabeth Street. Kody gave Tim a tour and he realized that not only would it make a good pizzeria but there was plenty of space for a bowling alley as well. The eight lane bowling alley will have all new state-of-the-art equipment, and will be “screaming nice,” as Tim puts it. The res-taurant will feature their popular pizzas, subs and wings.

Area Relay for Life participants will not only be walking on tracks in the near future, but they will also be taking steps to fight cancer. Teams will remain on those tracks for hours to raise money for cancer research, along with celebrating the lives of people who have battled cancer, remembering loved ones fighting the disease or who have lost lives due to it, reports the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life website. The annual fundraiser began in Tacoma, Wash. In the mid-1980s when Dr. Gordy Klatt wanted to find a way to donate to the society while supporting cancer patients he treated. He put the desire together with his hobby of running marathons and spent 24 hours running or walking around a track while friends joined him throughout the night and donated to his cause. About $27,000 was raised. That began what has become an annual event as communities across the globe participate in Relays

Efforts to promote a local foods project are moving ahead under the direction of the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board. Farmers, growers, and food producers have been sent a local foods survey, and are being asked to respond to it by Monday, June 4th. The local foods project was discussed at length during the last year. Richard Zink, Executive Director of Southern Tier West, says the board has been talking about the project since December of 2010. The goal of the project is to assess the current capacity of local food production, and to gauge the feasibility of developing new strategies and programs geared to grow the local food economy. The emphasis is to stress the benefits of eating locally grown foods, within an 80 to 100 mile radius of the three-county region. Zink noted in a previous article back in

October of 2011 that locally grown foods help not only the farmer, but also the local economy as a whole, while enhancing the nutritional value to consumers. As explained in the survey sent out to growers, responses are logged in anonymously. The text reads, “We would like to ask you to take a few minutes to respond to the Food Producer Survey. We would appreciate your honest and thoughtful responses so that we have valid results that can inform our future strategies. You have the option to provide your contact information if you would like us to add you to the list of stakeholder conversations, or if you would allow us to contact you for future input and idea sharing.” The survey notes that only farmers, growers, or food producers should respond, and only if located in Allegany, Cattaraugus, or Chautauqua County. Respondents are being asked to please submit only one completed survey per far, household, or business. Southern Tier West says they look forward to sharing the survey results

Holiday Valley is all set to host its next event, called the “Dirty Dualthon,” an adventure for all outdoor athletes. The Dualthon,

Inside Business: Page 7Cascade Lanes and Tim and Bonnie’s Pizza Opens in Ellicottville

organized by Mike Lawrence, will take place Sunday June 10th at the Holiday Valley Mountain Sports Center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For the Dualthon, an intense mountain biking course, participants have the option of biking solo or in a

team of two people. The trail is quite demanding, with a 620 foot vertical climb per lap, as well as challenging downhill adventures. The race starts off with a gentle 1.5 mile ride on a wide-access road and after that, the challenging cardio-pumping course

begins with a tight and twisted trail back down the mountain. The off-road Dualthon is a 4 mile trail run, followed by a 9-mile mountain

Eight obstacles will be placed along the trail including a log pile, a “slalom” course, a maze and the final challenge is a giant mud slide down lower Yodeler. Medals will be awarded to all finishers. Prizes will be awarded at the post race party on the Champagne Sundeck to the overall 3 fastest males and females as well as the most creative costumes.

The Ellicottville Memorial Library is pleased to announce the generous donation of funds from the Rotary Club of Ellicottville Foundation for Youth to hire a local student as a summer intern to help with the children’s Summer Reading Program. We are thrilled because this additional person will give us the ability to provide more programs and activities to the 100+ children that sign up each summer for our Summer Reading Program. The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Program

Summer Intern PositionLocal Youth Wanted to Help with Children’s Summer Reading Program

is “Dream Big - READ!” This program not only helps motivate children to read but it also develops positive attitudes about reading and books. It also helps children maintain their reading skills over summer vacation and encourages regular use of the library. We are already gearing up to provide programs and events focusing on nighttime, which is filled with wishes, dreams and unique nocturnal critters. We would like to give special thanks to the Rotary Club of Ellicottville Foundation for Youth for making this

opportunity available to the youth of our community. Not only will this intern help the library during our busiest season, we know that this will also be a learning experience for the student as well. Any student interested in applying for this position should stop by the Ellicottville Memorial Library or call 699-2842 for more information. The intern must be currently enrolled in college or planning on attending college this fall and preference will be given to Ellicottville Central School graduates.

Don’t you just love national holidays? A three-day weekend this time of year means finally getting around to planting some posies, enjoying a barbeque on the deck, and having a little down-time to relax with the family. And Ellicottville will be a busy little village this weekend. Our

annual Memorial Day garage sale will be held Saturday and Sunday. We’re not talking about some puny little rummage sale here – this is a bargainer’s dream! Antiques, furniture, bikes, books, sporting equipment, clothes – just a smidge of what will be on the tables throughout the village and town. Residents have been busy scouring their basements, attics and garages searching for just the right treasures to put out there. It’s a veritable extravaganza of second-hand goods and it all has to go! Talk about capitalism at its finest … While you’re out there enjoying some sunshine and rummaging, keep in mind we owe our pre-summer break to the thousands of men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I speak, of course, of those who have perished while serving in the armed forces. If you really think about it, Memorial Day will be a somber

day for the many families who have lost loved ones ensuring our country’s liberty. And for the over 8,000 veterans still living in Cattaraugus County, this is a time for remembrance of the friends lost who served alongside them; those who literally “gave their all.” Imagine being a mom or a dad whose son or daughter is currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan or some other dangerous place. For them, each and every day must start and end with a prayer of protection for their child. So, dear readers, by all means, enjoy this wonderful weekend to its fullest. Just make sure you remember – even briefly – why you’re able to live in such a wonderful place at such a wonderful time. It’s all about freedom and it’s about those who contributed to this end in the most honorable of ways. Until next week …

Relay For LifeA Nation Fights Back, One Community At A Time

Cancer. At its core it is a very frightening word. In fact it may be one of the single most frightening words a person can hear. Sadly, cancer is so prevalent that chances are you have, or you know someone who has, been affected by cancer in some form. Luckily, we live in a day-and-age where cancer research is also very prevalent. One of the driving forces behind that research is the American Cancer Society, which is the largest volunteer-based health organization in the United States and is doing everything in its power to extinguish some of the fear that comes along with a cancer diagnosis. With more than 900 local offices nationwide, and a presence in more than 5,100 communities the American Cancer Society has literally taken the fight against cancer to the streets with the Relay For Life. On June 2, 2012 Relay will once again be coming to Ellicottville. In case you’re not familiar with it, Relay is truly an event that must be experienced in order to be fully appreciated. Teams will

set up camp around a track and members from each team take turns walking around the track for the duration of the event. It’s a family-friendly event where the entire community can come together to support cancer survivors and do what they can to help fight back against cancer. The event itself is filled with plenty of games, activities and fundraising opportunitites…and food. It wouldn’t be a Relay For Life without some excellent energizing food choices. Right now there are approximately 16 teams (made up of 153 participants) signed up to take part in the Ellicottville Relay For Life at the Ellicottville Central School track. Over $15,000 dollars has been raised to date but with a goal of $50,000 there is still a long way to go. Your involvement can make a tremendous difference. There is still time to sign up and show your support. Go to www.relayforlife.org/cattarauguscountyny. There are lots of ways to get involved and the website can show you every option available. Every single Relay across the nation has at least one thing

in common. The opening Ceremony is a powerful and emotional sight to behold. With the playing of the Star Spangled Banner as the tone-setter it is obvious that you are in for a special sequence of events. The Ellicottville Relay will feature a dynamic duo of cancer survivors presenting the Honorary Survivor Speech. Husband and wife Jerry and Liz Titus will be sharing their story of dedication towards overcoming cancer. It is safe to say that it will be a powerful moment. Following the Survivor Speech will be the Survivors’ Lap and then the Caregivers’ Lap. Registration begins at 11am and Opening Ceremonies begin at 12pm sharp. The always-emotional Survivors’ Lap starts at 12:10pm, followed by the Caregivers’ Lap at 12:15pm. The visually powerful Luminaria Ceremony is scheduled for 9:15pm. “FIGHT BACK through research! THIS YEAR, selected Relay event(s) in our community are offering the unique opportunity to participate first-hand in a landmark new study, the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3). The American Cancer Society will be enrolling people into CPS-3, a long-term study that will help researchers better identify the lifestyle, environmental, and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer. Please spread the word and visit the Cancer Prevention Study-3 website www.cancer.org/cps3 to find an enrollment location near you and for more information about how to participate in research today for a cancer free tomorrow!”

In 1978, Cattaraugus County adopted its first Comprehensive Plan, entitled the Cattaraugus County Land Use Plan 2000. Since then, many changes have occurred in our County, many not anticipated or envisioned by the Plan. A new comprehensive planning update is needed to address the challenges of the 21st century and build upon more recent planning initiatives, such as the Smart Development for Quality Communities Guidebook Series and the Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan. Cattaraugus County is now beginning a planning process to develop a new comprehensive plan and vision for Cattaraugus County. The purpose of this plan is to provide a blueprint for the future growth and development of the County in the areas of land use, economic development, agriculture, the environment,

If you are interested in helping the County chart a course toward a brighter future, please consider participating in one or more of these events.

ELLICOTTVILLE, NY (5/21/12): Saturday, May 12th a fun, entertaining Luau themed event took place at Holiday Valley with funds raised supporting “Gotta Kiss Cancer Goodbye.” Gotta Kiss Cancer Goodbye is a local non-profit that works hard to support Roswell Park Cancer Institute as well as survivors, patients and families affected by the disease. “At the Luau event, we were able to give away five - $1,000 Cancer Survivor Awards because of the generosity of one company who fully understands the mission of GKCG, wanted to help and made a $5,000 donation specifically to be used for that purpose. Our goal was to raise $5,000 to give to Roswell Park Cancer Institute this year and we are happy to announce that together, we exceeded that goal and raised

One of the great things about living in Western New York is that it’s easy to find a great home out in the country. Out on Dublin Hills Road is one such example. Settled on nearly eleven acres of rolling hillside this home boasts a forest view and a pond. It’s just outside of town so it’s close to Ellicottville’s skiing, golf, restaurants, and shopping. Standing on the deck on the back of the house there is not another home in sight, and the only sound is the birds in the trees. On the East side of the house is a large pond that takes up as much area as the footprint of the house. Just in front of the

pond is a fire pit. Bring your marshmallows. A large deck wraps around three side of the house and takes in the pond and forest views. Inside the home is just as nice. The living room is big enough to remind one of a basketball court. The kitchen and dining area are both impressively large. The breakfast bar, and counters are all granite, and are a great match for the hardwood floors and walnut cabinets. Just off the living room is the master suite. The spacious room has french doors that open to the deck and pond view. Upstairs are two bedrooms that have open beam peaked ceilings. Between them is a beautiful bathroom with a wood framed tub that would be the envy of any spa. The bottom floor is set up to

be the family game room. The main feature is a stone framed fireplace that makes a great spot to relax away from the crowd. A pool table, foosball game, and various arcade games occupy the rest of the space. It’s not often you find a newer contemporary home in the country. With plenty of sleeping space, and enough room for the nosy gang, it’s a bit of quiet secluded countryside. It’s far enough out to really get away and yet close enough to all the amenities this area has to offer to make a great vacation or full time home. For more information about this property contact Melanie Pritchard a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker with ERA Team VP Real Estate & HoliMont Realty, 716-480-8409 direct.

The large kitchen has hardwood floors, walnut cabinets, and granite counter tops.

The spacious master suite has french doors that open to the deck.

The window in the dining room take in the view of the forest. The large pond enhances the natural setting. It has a swimming dock and is stocked with fish.

The living room has a cathedral ceiling, and a large stone wood-burning fireplace.

Set on five plus acres of rolling hillside the house features a deck that wraps around three side. No other houses can be seen from the deck.

Memorial Day marks the traditional start of summer, and one of those hallmarks of the season has to be dirt track racing. They’re raring to go at Little Valley Speedway, where Memorial Day means the start of another season of racing action. The Memorial Day Late Model Special, sponsored by Close Racing Supply, kicks off the summer excitement on Sunday, May 27th. Super Late model Champion Dick Barton returns to Little Valley Speedway on that date to defend his title against the top late-model drivers in the region. Participants will be racing for $3,000 to win. The Memorial Day card also features the BRP Can-Am Series Tour for the 360 Late Models, led by track champion and BRP Series Champion Jeremy Wonderling, racing for $1,000 to win. They will be joined by the UEMS E Mods, with defending champion Rich Michael Junior and the

“This is what I do!” Priscilla Snider says with a laugh as she flips open one of her three cell phones and answers it. The call she is taking is one of the many she fields each day. In this case it’s about the upcoming Relay for Life event coming up on June 2. Priscilla has been involved with the Relay for Life event since 1997, but this year has special meaning for her. Just last February she was diagnosed with Esophageal cancer. “It’s nothing you ask for,” she says of her affliction. But if you think that it might slow her down, you would be mistaken; Priscilla has maintained her go-go energy and infectious laugh. She is married to her husband Rob

Street Stocks, headed by Andy Michael. Gates for the Memorial Day card open at 3, with racing to start at 6:30. Adult admission is $14, with those under 12 admitted free. The track expects about 2,500 spectators, the size of a typical opening day crowd. Later this summer, Little Valley Speedway plays host to the World of Outlaws Late Models for the first time ever, with a $10,000 going to the winner 50-lap race. The “history-making huge, huge race” will take place on Wednesday, August 29th. At the track, Mary Charlesworth says, “The race is something extra-special, something that you normally don’t get to do.” Fans can expect to see WOO veterans Ron Davies and John Lobb, along with other top local drivers. Names include current Little Valley champion Dick Barton, defending WOO champ Rick Eckert, Chub Frank, former WOO champions Josh Richards and Tim McCreadle, and many others. They will all vie to become the first Little

and has two kids, Heather 23 years old and James 19, a senior at ECS. About six months ago she began to notice she was having trouble swallowing, and was wasn’t able to finish meals. She was eating about the same quantity of food but was losing weight. An endoscope exam reveled that she had a tumor in her throat that had wrapped around her esophagus and closed it down to less than the size of a dime. Although she had been scheduled for additional tests, her doctor called and asked her to start treatment the next day. It turned out the tumor was malignant, but the good news was that it had not yet spread into any of the neighboring tissues. She began treatment through Roswell Park on March 5th and has been receiving both radiation and chemotherapy. She went through the treatments with her usual enthusiasm, “I just marveled at the machines, and the technology and knowledge that lead to these treatments,” and adds she has had only slight hair loss and no nausea. “We’ve just been able to keep going” she adds with a laugh. Surgery is scheduled for early June, but her doctor agreed to hold off until after the Relay. Keep going is exactly what she has been doing through her 28 days of treatment. She is a

Valley Speedway WOO winner. The BRP Can-Am Series and the E Mods will also race the night of August 29th. Last season, the World of Outlaws raced to a sellout crowd at the McKean County Raceway in East Smethport. That track opted out of the circuit this year, opening the door for Little Valley Speedway to host the event. Tickets for the World of Outlaws event will be on sale at the Speedway. The price for this show is $25 for the grandstand and $35 for the pits. 4,000 seats will be made available for the race. This year’s season at Little Valley Speedway will feature six racing programs in all, each highlighted by the ever-popular 800 horsepower Super Late Models. The season ends on Saturday, September 15th with the Western New York Late Model and Modified 358 Doubleheader. For more information on this year’s racing at Little Valley, call the Speedway at (716) 938-9146.

case worker for “my kids” (as she calls them) who are in the county juvenile justice system. This can mean anything from giving kids rides to and from court, counseling, fitting youths with electronic monitors, and evaluating special needs; all with the goal of keeping the kids in their homes and out of jail. Priscilla tells me about one young man who needed some special attention. She helped him through a tough family situation and was able to keep him out of further trouble with the law. Though she hadn’t seen him for some time, he called her on Mothers Day to thank her for her help. As we talk she is interrupted by yet another phone call about one of her kids. She says it’s amazing the difference can be made in the life of a teenager “when somebody had treated them with respect.” This year is the first year she will be serving as Co-Chair of the Relay for Life. Priscilla once joked that she wanted someday to wear the special purple T-shirt worn by cancer survivors. This year she will proudly don the shirt as she walks the special lap that those who are dealing with, or have survived cancer take on the track. You can bet, she’ll accompanied by a laugh and and smile, and all three cell phones.

To say Tim Garey is familiar with the pizza business would be an understatement. Tim grew up in his family’s pizza business in Springville. He started working in the family parlors when he was 16 years old, and in 1977 he took over the business. By that time there were four stores known as Blasdell Pizza in locations like Buffalo, Hamburg, and Dunkirk. Five years ago he

Again this year, with the addition of the Friday night concert, there will literally be something for everyone, including families, the over-40 crowd and even younger, edgier audiences. “With the slopes of Holiday Valley as the main outdoor stage, the acoustics are astounding, you simply bring your chairs and

Our bones are a living tissue that is continually being renewed. Bone building consists of a complex process of biochemical reactions that maintain a balance between breaking down old and injured bone and building new strong, but flexible bone. Old bone is constantly being dissolved and reabsorbed and new bone is constantly being laid down in its place. For this reason, our bones need a constant supply of nutrients to keep them healthy. Very often we are told that calcium builds strong bones. This is because calcium is both the most abundant mineral in the body and the most abundant mineral in bones. But bones are made of much more than calcium. Bones contain other macro minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, potassium and sulfur. They also need trace minerals such as silica, iron, molybdenum, cooper, zinc, fluoride, selenium, chromium, manganese, iodine, and cobalt. In addition, vitamins like C and D, protein and other nutrients are also required for bone health. As we can see, we are deficient in other trace nutrients that are needed to make proper use of calcium already in our diets.Steve Horne indicates that the biggest problem contributing to several bone ailments, including

osteoporosis is a lack of nutritional density in our diets. A lack of trace minerals and nutritional density is the primary reason our bones are weaker, but there is another contributing factor: our pH. An overly acidic diet causes the bone to break down more quickly because alkalizing minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium are “borrowed” from bones and other tissues to help counteract the excess acid. This general over acid condition is caused by a diet high in soda, pop, coffee, alcohol, grains, meat and interestingly enough, dairy. Alkalizing foods tend to be fresh fruits and vegetables, in which most diets are low. Shallow breathing, high levels of stress and air pollution also make the pH of the body become more acidic. Your bones support you, but as you can see, you also need to support your bones with good nutrition. There are numerous herbs and nutritional supplements that can help support the health of bones and joints. Calcium is an essential element for the health of bones. It also requires vitamin D for proper absorption and utilization. In harmony with the parathyroid hormone, vitamin D is essential for absorbing calcium in the small intestines and for maintaining adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentration that enable normal mineralization of bones. The best form of vitamin D is Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). This fat-soluble vitamin is produced in the skin when is exposed to sunlight, specifically ultraviolet B radiation. Many studies have shown that vitamin D3 supports bone and other organ health. Magnesium is another mineral that works in concert with calcium and is involved in the structure of bones, cell membranes and chromosomes. 60% of magnesium is found in the skeleton and 27% is found in muscle. It has been established

that more people are more deficient in magnesium than calcium. Magnesium Complex or Chlorophyll Capsules are good supplements to increase magnesium levels in the body. The third most abundant mineral in the body is potassium. Potassium also plays a role in bone density. It helps prevent osteoporosis by counteracting increased urinary calcium loss due to high dietary salt intake. Potassium is abundant in green leafy vegetables and can be supplemented with Potassium Combination. Trace minerals are another highly nourishing option. I like Ionic Minerals and Mineral Chi Tonic.According to Herb Allure Inc., The Hart says that Ionic Minerals play a specific role in antioxidant activity, cellular function, enzyme activation, hormonal regulation, metabolism, healthy pregnancy and lactation, normal hearth rhythm, oxygen transport, pH balance of the blood, and the renewal of body tissues and wounding healing. Trace minerals are also involved in normal skeletal metabolism and the nutritional prevention of osteoporosis and degenerative joint diseases. Ionic Minerals provides 70 trace minerals readily-absorbed. It also has fulvic acid to increase absorption and fight free radicals. The flavor is enhanced with Acai berry and Red grape skin extract. An excellent mineral supply. Mineral Chi Tonic may help to reduce the excessive desire for sweet foods as mineral deficiencies may contribute to sugar cravings. It is a liquid blend that contains colloidal minerals, which enhance the body’s enzyme system and help the body with energy production, structural repair and general health. It includes adaptogens and energy balancers including eleuthero, licorice root, reishi mushroom and ginkgo. Mineral Chi Tonic enhances tissue healing, improves mood, reduces fatigue and enhances athletic performance.

in the coming months, and to broaden the scope of assessment and planning for growing the local food economy. Executive Director Richard Zink is pleased by the survey responses. “And we will be

doing more, in-person follow-up.” He says June 4th is not a hard deadline to return the surveys, but he is aiming to get them all back by mid-June. Surveys were distributed by e-mail, with the follow-up to be done mainly by hand delivery. “We’ll go to some farmers markets and hand them out to people, with a self-addressed, stamped envelope. “ Zink says they’ve contacted every farmers

market in the region, along with some producers who don’t take part in farmers markets. The Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board intend to tabulate the data, and then discuss the findings, probably in mid-July. The review process is expected to continue for the next year or so. Zink says he is satisfied with the pace of the local foods project.

for Life. Relay teams set up tents around tracks and take turns walking to raise money for cancer research while celebrating and remembering. In Ellicottville, this year’s event will be held from noon to midnight June 2 at Ellicottville Central School, with Passport for a Cure being the theme. Each team has picked and will sell food items decorate tents reflecting the country they have chosen. Raffles, a chicken barbeque and music will all accompany the walkers. Sponsors include Coffee

Culture, the Ellicottville and Great Valley Volunteer Fire Departments, Southern Tier Healthcare Systems, Southern Tier Wellness Partnership. The goal is to raise $51,000, which will support the American Cancer Society programs including Look Good Feel Better, Road to Recovery, Hope Lodge where patients can stay while getting treatments, support groups, research and more. To register or donate, w w w. r e l a y f o r l i f e . o r g /cattarauguscountyny. Although it will have its own features, the Ellicottville event is similar to other relays held across the globe. Each begins with a survivors’ lap as those who have battled cancer are invited to circle the track together and celebrate victories achieved. According to the

website, the lap is an example of how relayers ensure more lives are saved annually. After dark, people touched by cancer are honored and loved ones lost are remembered during the luminaria ceremony when candles are lit inside bags filled with sand, each of which bears the name of a person touched by cancer. A fightback ceremony is also part of each event when commitments are made by participants to save lives, as each pledges to do something simple to help. More than $4.5 million has been raised by Relay for Life events, which also serve as inspiration for survivors, caregivers and hosting communities, according to the American Cancer Society.A relays will be held June 16 to 17 at the Olean Middle School track also.

was persuaded by his son-in-law Kody Sprague to take over a failing bowling alley in Springville. The alley was in pretty bad shape, but Tim invested a lot of time and effort to fix it up. As the business grew Tim found he was spending most of his time running back and fourth between the stores. About a year ago he decided to “cut lose” the other stores and concentrate on running the bowling alley and pizzeria. He changed the name of the pizza store to Tim & Bonnie’s Pizza. Keeping with the family tradition both Tim’s wife and daughter are partners in the business. For a long time Tim scouted

out the Ellicottville area looking for a good location for the restaurant. Son-in-law Kody kept telling him to wait for the perfect location. Last year Kody revealed that he and his grandfather had purchased the old bat factory on Elizabeth Street. Kody gave Tim a tour and he realized that not only would it make a good pizzeria but there was plenty of space for a bowling alley as well. The eight lane bowling alley will have all new state-of-the-art equipment, and will be “screaming nice,” as Tim puts it. The restaurant will feature their popular pizzas, subs and wings. Tim admits “we sell a lot of subs,” He also mentions they will be serving some pasta as well. They will serve beer and wine, but will not have a full bar. In talking about his years in the business, Tim seems to get the most satisfaction from working with the many teenagers he’s

hired. “I hired a lot of kids. They get their first job at 16 or 17.” Hey says most of them go on to college, work their way through school and then come back to Tim and Bonnie’s and have pizza. “I’ve changed a lot of kids lives, I installed a work ethic in them,” he says as a smile crosses his face. Tim also points out he spent a lot of time in the various approval meetings listening to the locals concerns about the business. Some of his future neighbors have expressed concern about noise emanating from the establishment. He assures them that the alley will be a good neighbor, adding “We’re (the pizza parlor in Springville) right next to the alley and we never hear the alley, the sound won’t go through a brick building.” Remodeling of the factory should be under way buy the time you read this, and Tim hopes to have the alley and restaurant open sometime mid

bike on a single track. Those who aren’t mountain bikers also have an opportunity to experience this event with the 4-mile “Dirty Bit Trail Run.” This run uses the same course that is used for the Dualthon, but is set for running only. A post-race party will be hosted

for the participants, including refreshments, lunch and door prizes from the event’s sponsors. Awards for the Dualthon are given in a variety of categories: 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards will be presented for Overall Solo Male/Female, and for age groups 19 years and under, ages 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60 and older, respectively. For Dualthon teams, 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards will be presented to Male, Female and Co-Ed teams. Awards for the

Trail Run will be the same as for the Dualthon, with 1st, 2nd and 3rd place being given for both males and females, with the same age ranges as the Dualthon.
