If you’re reading this, I hope it’s sunny and you’re somewhere in beautiful Cattaraugus County. Maybe you’re walking along the
shores of Cuba Lake watching the sun sparkle the blue water. Or perhaps you’re hiking in the Enchanted Mountains, or biking along the miles of terrific single-track our area is widely recognized for. You might be strolling arm-in-arm with a friend, shopping in downtown Ellicottville, stopping for a quick bite in one of our fabulous restaurants and taking advantage of the talented chefs who work here. Summer in the most southwest corner of New York State is such a wonderful time of the year. The springtime hustle has been replaced with a more relaxed pace, one conducive
to unwinding and recharging your own internal batteries. Everywhere you look you see beauty – it’s no wonder so many visitors come here to enjoy our warm sunny days and cool, starry nights. To me, it’s the most delightful place on earth – right here, right now … Take a deep, cleansing breath – now exhale; repeat as necessary. Smell the wonderful freshness the air has to it, and make sure you take it all in – not just the summer sights, but the tastes, the sounds and the fun. You couldn’t be at a better place at a better time. Lucky you … Until next week …

business Trackarea native reading Co-Chairs the 2012 Constellation Championship
By: SHaron turano
The 2012 Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship may draw world-class golfers, volunteers, benefit charities, promote environmental stewardship, but planners would also like to invite the public to watch. The event will be held June 26th to July 1st at Fox Chapel Golf Club in Pittsburgh, and is part of the Champions Tour, with Fred Couples, the Defending Champion of the tournament that has also seen Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer hold that title. The tournament began 30 years ago in 1983 at the Canterbury Golf Club in Beachwood, Ohio and was won, at that time, by 11-time PGA Tour champion Miller Barber. This past December, the Fox Chapel Golf Club was contacted by PGA Tour staff, which was seeking a location. “I took it as a challenge,” said Thomas B. Reading, who agreed to Co-Chair the event, doing so in a shorter timeframe than is usually given for plans for one of the five major stops on the Champions Tour. “I have always been very passionate about golf,” he gave for the reason he decided to work on the event, even if it meant giving up time usually spent doing other things in order to concentrate on pulling the event together in the short amount of time. Reading attended the 1985 SENIOR PLAYERS Championship and watched Arnold Palmer win. He said it is a great tour, as viewers have the chance to watch winners of the Masters, US Open, British Open, and PGA Championship along with past Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup players. Mr. Reading grew up in the Jamestown area, playing and learning at Moon Brook
Country Club and playing competitively in junior programs in the Western New York area. He then moved onto college to play in Ohio and settled in Pittsburgh, where he joined Fox Chapel Golf Club, one of the more unique courses around the country, he said. Designed by Seth Raynor in 1923, it has many signature holes and has been recognized by several golf publications for its unique design. Mr. Reading hopes he can draw visitors to the tournament in which he is working from his hometown area. The tournament is the third Major of the year on the PGA Champions Tour and is open to those 50 years old or older who qualify as per the credentials determined by the tournament’s committee. Golfers will face the 6,706-yard course, where the par is 35-35-70 during the four-day 72-hole stroke-play event that will feature 81 Tour Professionals vying for the $2.7 million purse, $405,000 of which will go to the winner. Although the tournament’s main draw is watching the Champions, it has also raised more than $8 million so far for charities, with the First Tee being the charity fundraiser. This year’s tournament will benefit the First Tee of Pittsburgh. It is expected to generate $15 million in income to the region hosting the tournament with hotels, restaurants and other benefits for the host city. In addition to the golfers and guests including many corporations, about 1,000 volunteers will work the event, which has also gone as green as its course. Bio-diesel fuel generators power facilities and charge electric golf carts used. The event went carbon-neutral in 2007 and uses corn-based eco-
friendly plates and flatware for concessions and hospitality, along with recycled materials. The tournament will be held at the course that is a 2.5 hour drive from Chautauqua Lake and 3.5 hours from Ellicottville.Military personnel and children younger than 18-years-old who are with a paying adult will be admitted free of charge.Those who can’t attend can watch the action on the Golf Channel from 1 to 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday of the event and from 2:30 to 5 p.m. on June 30th and July 1st.More information about the tournament can be found at www.cspgolf.com where you can buy tickets as well as Ticketmaster.

professionals can – in only a week – turn out an entertaining and often touching production with our kids.” We all know the story, Oschman said: When Cinderella’s stepsisters try to keep her from attending the ball, the Fairy Godmother enlists the help of the Mice and the Pumpkins and is able to transform Cinderella just in time for the big event. Also featured in the production are Cleo the Cat, Fido the Dog, the Lords and Ladies, the Town Criers, the King and the Beggars. Tickets for the show are available at the BCPAC office
(10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and also are usually available at the door on the day of the show. For more information, call the BCPAC office or visit bcpac.com. The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, has been touring extensively for 40 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,200 communities this year with up to 47 teams of Tour Actor/Directors. This BCPAC program is sponsored in part from a grant from Howard Nickel Endowment Fund.
Salamanca, NY - Salamanca City Judge, Ronald Ploetz announced today that he is a candidate in the November 2012 election for Cattaraugus County Judge. Ronald Ploetz is a lifelong resident of Cattaraugus County. In April 2007, he was appointed as City Court Judge for the City of Salamanca and in November of 2007, he was elected to a full term as Salamanca City Judge with the endorsements of the Republican, Democratic, Conservative and Independence Parties. “Perhaps, I am most proud of the fact that I have operated a successful law practice here in Cattaraugus County since
bid for County Judge City Judge ronald Ploetz announces Election
1986,” Ploetz said. “I have a very broad-based list of clients and I currently serve as Town Attorney for the Towns of Carrollton, Conewango, Dayton, Great Valley, Leon, Otto, Salamanca, and South Valley. I also serve as attorney for the Village of Little Valley and for the City of Salamanca Industrial Development Agency”. “These are challenging times for the Judiciary. Budgetary cuts have resulted in reduced staffing and resources to handle the ever increasing number of cases being filed in the Court system,” Ploetz said. “Our County Judge presides over three separate County level courts: Family Court, Surrogate’s Court
and County Court. I feel that my work history in both the public and private sectors make me uniquely qualified to serve as County Judge.” Judge Ploetz is a 1976 graduate of Little Valley Central School and graduated from the University of Rochester in 1980 with degree in Economics. He graduated from the University of Buffalo School of Law in 1982 and subsequently served as a Confidential Law Clerk to the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division in Rochester, New York. He resides in Randolph, New York with his wife, Karen and children, Nathaniel, Sarah and Jason.
ALBANY – Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I – 57th District) announced that the state Senate passed the Bridge and Road Investment and Dedicated Fund Guaranteed Enforcement Reform Act, also known as the BRIDGE Reform Act, which will guarantee much-needed funding for road and bridge repairs. “In 2009, the Western New York Region was shorted $167 million in transportation aid by Governor Paterson and the then New York City-controlled state Legislature. Now that we are back in the Senate majority, we fixed this gross injustice in this year’s state budget,” Senator Young said. “We want to make sure that upstate’s transportation needs are met now and going forward, so we passed the BRIDGE
bridge reform actSen. Catharine Young applauds Passing Of bridge reform act
Reform Act,” Senator Young said. Three-quarters of the dedicated fund currently is spent on functions that are not affiliated with improving bridges and highways, including the operation of the Department of Motor Vehicles and routine snow and ice removal. By putting funding back into repairs, more than $463 million would be added to support the reconditioning of roads and bridges, she explained. “When established in 1991, the dedicated fund strictly was to be used for road and bridge repair. It now has dozens of uses and spends more than $750 million annually on expenses not directly related to its original intent. If it is signed into law, the BRIDGE
Reform Act will end misuse of these funds and allow for transparency in investments,” Senator Young said. “There are many projects throughout my district, including the completion of Route 219, and repairs to many other state roads that have been delayed due to lack of proper funding,” she added. “This bill will not only allow for these projects to move forward, but will boost job creation, spur economic growth, and improve conditions for our travelers. Bridge and road investment needs to be a priority for New York, and I will continue to work to ensure funding is properly allocated for rebuilding and reconditioning purposes,” Senator Young said. The bill was sent to the Assembly.

my name is Sharon Saporito and I need your help!
To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you just may be the world. Thank you from the Western New York Kidney Connection.
Hi, My name is Sharon Saporito and I am in need of a kidney due to PKD. I was currently preparing for my transplant when it was discovered that my blood had developed an antibody. I was devastated. The team then tested the remaining three donors and found they also were no longer compatible. I never thought I would be in this position since I had so much support from friends and family. I went from having four possible donors to none. It has been a heart breaking situation to say the least. I am in excellent health except for my kidneys. I am blood type B and could receive a kidney from a B or O blood type. An exchange, I am sure would be possible. Please contact me if you can be of help!

Up Close & PersonalWorld War II Veteran remembers Pearl Harbor
By nicHolaS PircioWPiG 95.7 FM
A number of World War II veterans told their stories over the Memorial Day weekend at the Eldred (Pa.) World War II Museum. That’s the former insurance building that now sports a tank coming through the wall, right in the middle of Eldred. The museum is in Eldred because a munitions factory flourished nearby, supplying the British before the U.S joined the war effort. As for the stories, those who run the museum would like to collect more of them. Time is running out to capture and preserve the memories of those who served during the greatest armed conflict the world has ever seen. The museum’s archives include over 4,000 statements from World War II veterans. The guest speaker on Sunday who came to share his experiences is Victor Peterson of Kushequa, Pa., who survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Mr. Peterson’s story begins when he graduated from high school in 1938. “There were no jobs back here.” He worked here and there, then joined the Army Air Corps. “I wanted to get into
the Air Corps. I tried to get into the Marines and the Navy, but I had glasses. ” He made his way from the recruitment center in Ridgway through Harrisburg before arriving by rail in New York City. “It’s a good thing that somebody knew where he was going, because I didn’t. I just played follow the leader.” He noted that on Governor’s Island, “They gave us guard duty but they didn’t give us much instruction.” Mr. Peterson was relieved to know he passed the eye exam and a rather basic physical conducted in a large gymnasium. Once reaching the Pacific via the Panama Canal, Peterson’s group proceeded directly to Hawaii. Taking up at Wheeler air field, he landed in the sixth pursuit squadron. He got a job driving a lieutenant colonel. “Again, they didn’t give me any instructions other than to sit in the car outside the colonel’s office. Sometimes I sat there all day!” Stationed on the east end of Oahu at a small air strip, Peterson remembers the attack. Men had gone into town for Christmas cards the day before. “I just got up (Sunday morning) and I heard a plane coming in from the sea. I thought that it was kind of funny because we
weren’t flying. All of a sudden he went by. I looked past (my tent flap) and saw that red ball (Japanese marking on the plane.) Our first thought was to get our planes in the air.” Peterson explained there were twelve P-40s at the airstrip, close by and under guard. “The crew chiefs started the planes and taxied them to the edge of the field. The planes were all ready to take off, except loading the ammunition. While that started, I saw three (Japanese) planes coming and I told the guys ‘here they come.’” Nine Zeroes attacked but it didn’t last very long. One pilot tried to take off but went to his death into the ocean. Another pilot was killed beside his airplane. “Up at Wheeler, it was terrible. The planes all burned, they were fully gassed. It was over.” Flowers were placed in memory at the site by a V-F-W post. The Eldred World War II Museum first opened in 1996, due to the efforts of Tim Roudebush, a Kansas businessman whose father, George, owned the land on which the munitions plant operated. The museum welcomes 8,000 visitors each year. To find out more, call 1-866-686-9944, or visit www.eldredwwiimuseum.org.

As one of the grand dames of Ellicottville, this home has more than stood the test of time. Originally built in 1893 this is one of the earliest homes in the area. Located just steps to downtown, it’s close to all the things Ellicottville is known for. The current owners have remodeled the interior to bring it gracefully into the 21st century. They also added a 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath apartment over the garage. It can be either in-law quarters or rented out for the ski season. It has an entrance off the two car garage and its own outside entrance. The remodel went way beyond re-facing the kitchen. Walls were moved to create more of a standard great room on the ground floor. Just inside the entryway is a game room
equipped with a pool table. Next to it is the kitchen, on the pool table side the counter is bar height, for serving snacks for the pool tournament. The living room side of the kitchen the counter is lower to make a breakfast bar. They are the kind of contemporary touches that pull this older house into modern life. The large living room is dominated by the river rock wood burning fireplace. The HD-TV sits on the rustic mantle. Like the rest of the house the dining room is a perfect blend of traditional and contemporary styles. A dark paneled sideboard has a marble counter top and a sink. It blends perfectly with the light pine flooring and large oak dining table. Between the house and the garage is what would have to be the ultimate ski room. In the center is a large bench with storage underneath, as well as cubbies, hooks, and
plenty of places to stow ski gear. Add to this a sauna, hot tub, and enough room for exercise machines, and you may never go into the house. On the second floor is the master bedroom with its own fireplace; one of the largest you’ll find anywhere. It shares a deck with one of the bedrooms. There is a large bath and three more bedrooms on this floor. On the third floor is a bunk room with a large bath and a whirlpool bath. The basement has a large room that would make a perfect home theater. In all you won’t find anywhere a better blending of the traditional and the contemporary in home design. This is a venerable grand home that has moved gracefully into the modern age. For more information about this home contact Dave Blanchard with Holiday Valley Realty. 716-474-7024
The three bedroom, 2 ½ bath apartment is behind and over the large two car garage.
One of two game rooms; this one is just off the kitchen and features a handsome built in bookcase.
The eating counters on either side of the kitchen make entertaining a breeze.
A huge river rock fireplace dominates the living room.The sideboard along the back wall has a sink, a wine rack, wine glass storage and lots of cabinets.
A sauna and hot tub make this ski room a virtual palace.

quaint little studio to house her magnificent clay creations. What started out as a hobby quickly turned into a thriving business with multiple returnee customers enchanted by her work. Elliott and Michael have just recently celebrated their 30-year anniversary of opening their shop. When asked the secret to their success, Elliott Hutten simply stated, “I owe the success of our business to the many wonderful customers who have returned repeatedly over the years to view and purchase our pottery and buy gifts for others.” In order to thank the customers for their loyalty
throughout the years, Elliott and Michael held a party on the weekend of June 2nd, serving refreshments, hotdogs and ice cream. In addition to filling the stomachs of the attendees, they offered the rare chance to purchase their most valued vintage pottery. The act of pottery making is very taxing on the potter’s body; they often develop painful conditions such as carpal tunnel and arthritis. The stone pottery that is offered at Hog Shed Studio first starts out as a simple lump of clay that is thrown onto the potter’s wheel for shaping. After it has been shaped, the pottery is then dried, bisque-fired, waxed and glazed, then fired again at 2400 degrees, to ensure safe use. Designs featured on the finished product are applied by hand through the use of paintbrushes, mostly
hand crafted by Elliott herself with tail hairs from the local animals. Along with stone pottery, Elliott and Michael also carry a line of Japanese style pottery called RAKU. “This type of pottery is low-fired and non-vitrified so it does not hold water; it is meant to be used in a more decorative way.” Also, more non-traditional works are offered, such as high-fired sculptural vessels, and wall pieces, which Elliott affectionately calls “paintings in clay”. Pricing for all their pottery is extremely competitive, ranging from $6 to $600, depending on the product. At the prime age of 63 years old, Elliott still plans to continue doing what she loves; creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art that you can only find at one place: Hog Shed Studio.

LIMESTONE – Two men trapped in a motor vehicle accident are still alive today, and it’s thanks to the quick, courageous efforts of three men who knew they could make a difference. On October 11, 2011, Jeremy Ellis and Josh Rhow, were traveling on Interstate 86 near Salamanca on their way to work when they saw a two-vehicle motor vehicle accident, and they stopped to help. “The vehicles were blocking I-86. We saw one vehicle was on fire when we got there,” Jeremy said. Josh added, “I’m an outgoing person, and I’ll help anyone. It didn’t look like too many people were there.” Limestone Volunteer Fire Chief and EMT Michael Soper said he was traveling westbound on the interstate near the SalamancaAllegany Casino when he heard the Seneca Nation’s call for a two-car motor vehicle accident with entrapment. He called dispatch, learned the location of the crash, turned around and headed eastbound toward the Red House exit. “I was in the area, the nature of the call was serious, and I thought I could help out,” Mr. Soper said. Upon arriving at the scene, Mr. Soper said he saw a huge ball of fire, a red pickup truck in the passing lane with heavy damage, and that the SUV engulfed in flames also sustained heavy damage. “At that time, I assumed that the passenger or passengers of the SUV were dead with a good possibility that the driver of the pickup may also have been killed,” he said. Upon talking to the Sheriff’s Deputy, Mr. Soper learned both passengers had been removed from the vehicles and that several individuals had covered the victims with tarps and coats
to keep them warm. “I started to do triage on the two patients and asked others to help with various things and to hold stabilization. All the bystanders did a terrific job of helping out and doing whatever was asked of them,” Mr. Soper said, noting he was really impressed by Josh Rhow and Jeremy Ellis, both employees of CATCO, and learned that the two men helped remove the victims from their cars. “They both said they saw flames coming up past the face of the SUV victim and, in their words, ‘They weren’t going to let these guys die,’” Mr. Soper explained. Jeremy and Josh both said they recognized the seriousness of the accident and instantaneously decided to help in whatever way they could. “It came down to seconds, and I’m just grateful that I was there to help,” Josh said. Jeremy added, “It was like it was unreal. Everything happened so fast. Hopefully somebody would do that if the same thing happened to me.” During an event at Limestone Volunteer Fire Department, Senator Catharine Young (R,C,I – Olean) presented the New York State Senate Liberty Medal to Jeremy Ellis, Josh Rhow, and Limestone Volunteer Fire Chief and EMT Michael Soper, for the swift, selfless steps they took to ensure the safety of those involved in the accident on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. “These men had no duty to assist in this horrific accident, yet they selflessly came to the aid of those involved. The actions they took to remove their neighbors from harm are heroic and worthy of special recognition. I am honored to present these medals to three men who selflessly came to the aid of those in need,” Senator Young said.
Mr. Soper added, “These guys – Jeremy and Josh – had no ties and no training, and they stopped to help and pulled the other guys out. They did a great job, and it’s nice for them to get recognized for what they did.” Chris Baker, Director of Emergency Medical Services and City Fire Coordinator, said Mr. Soper also is deserving of the Liberty Medal because of his role in the accident. “It’s a true credit to him. His actions, calmness, ability to relax the individuals present at the scene and do what he’s trained to do really put the package together and made things better,” Mr. Baker said. “We’re not in this for the glory but because we want to help people, and I think that’s true of the two other gentlemen who helped. It’s a pleasure to have people out there and it’s great we can acknowledge it because some forget what goes on, even in the volunteer world. A lot of people do this on a daily basis and it’s a good thing to have them out there,” Mr. Baker added. Josh and Jeremy acknowledged that they chose to help, not for the recognition, but because they hoped someone would do the same thing for them. “If it’s life-threatening, you do the best you can to help the person. I didn’t expect to be awarded for something that should have been done,” Jeremy said. “Just knowing they were all right was thank-you enough,” Josh added. The New York State Senate Liberty Medal was created in 2000. Similar to the National Congressional Gold Medal, the Liberty Medal is awarded to individuals who have merited special commendation for exceptional, heroic or humanitarian acts and achievements on behalf of their fellow New Yorkers.

The Liberty Medal is awarded to individuals who have merited special commendation for exceptional, heroic, or humanitarian acts and achievements on behalf of their fellow New Yorkers.
This Week in PhotosWeathervane Donated to Village gazebo - Unusual Visitors to birdfeeder
brave actions recognizedSen. Catharine Young Presents Liberty medals During Limestone Event
This week the gazebo outside the Ellicottville Town Hall got a new addition. A stunning metal weathervane eagle was added top the top, donated by ‘The Voice of Ellicottville’, Bob McCarthy. Constable Gifford and his wife have been receiving reoccurring visits to their bird feeders that sit 10’ from their house on Washington Street.
obstacle, they switched from biking to running. This year, however, she said Holiday Valley staff decided to downsize, making up their own similar event but keeping it simpler with just trail running and obstacles. No teams or bicycles are necessary. The change seems to be
drawing many. She said 500 people participated in the Muddy Buddy last year, with 520 already signed up for June 16’s event. There is a cap of 700 people being allowed to participate. Registration, therefore, may be closed by the day of the event. “It’s a fun event,” said Ms. Eshbaugh, who said the Mudslide will also bring people to town and keep Holiday Valley on their minds. “People love to come to
Holiday Valley and Ellicottville and enjoy the outdoors, have fun,” she said. “The mudrun is different than many of the others … because our event is not punishing, just fun,” she said. Ms. Eshbaugh said most of the runs are downhill and silly, while encouraging spectators and family members of participants to join in the party.Others wanting to join in can get more information about how to do so at www.holidayvalley.com.
Rock and Roll. He says, “I play drums and also do vocals. We also have another vocalist (Sheena Ozzella) who plays guitar who is originally from Allegany. Our bass player (Max Gregor) is from Vermont, but now he lives in Texas.” Lemuria has played to audiences all over the world. Kerns kicks off a list of venues, including Russia, Ireland, Poland, Germany, and France. And where did it all start? “Our first practice base was in East Otto, New York.” Two friends from Ellicottville let the band practice in their old house, while they waited to sell the house.
“That was very helpful. We’ve just been playing and booking shows, and playing all over the world (ever) since.” Lemuria has released two full-length albums and a number of other songs that became singles. Although he can play guitar, Kerns keeps to the drums in Lemuria, and he also sings. He is also one of the band’s main songwriters. As for catching the eye of “Rolling Stone,” the band played at a festival in Austin, Texas. “Rolling Stone” happened to be there, taking pictures and doing a feature on their website. Alex Kerns says he’s not sure if the online material will make it into the magazine. He’s hopeful that it might happen, and is certain the band’s record label will let the band know if it does. “That would be cool!” In August, Lemuria plans to tour
England for a week of shows, the fourth time the band has toured England. “Right after that, we’ll start to write to record this winter for our next album.” Kerns says the new recording will be in the same style as previous releases of independent rock and roll. As for getting a recording contract, Kerns says they never pestered a record label to put out a record. “We just toured and did everything ourselves for a long time. We just did everything as if we were our own entity. Eventually, they came to us. I think that’s what bands have to do these days, release their own album at first and make their own connections by booking shows.” Alex would like the band to play locally within the next year. Lemuria plans to play in Buffalo this coming winter and maybe sometime in Olean.
and prints several guides for tourists. They also offer other programs for agricultural and economic development, as well as consolidated funding applications, assistance in grant writing, and matching sources of available funding to public needs. She mentioned monies are available for hazard mitigation programs. The mayor mentioned the HoliMont water tank project is something they might want to discuss.
Dpw report Harold Morton reported the health department has inspected all the wells in town, and basically found them all in good shape. Some simple fixes were suggested and he put a crew on them. They have been patching various problems on some of the streets in the village, mostly the corner of Jefferson and Elizabeth. The popular flower barrels have been set out along Main and Monroe streets. Mr. Morton wanted to be sure word got out that the fire hydrants will be flushed on June 25. If you drive down the wrong street on the 25th your car could get and involuntary car wash. The mayor wants to be sure that the water released during the flushing is metered. There was discussion about new water lines being requested by both EBC for their expansion and Sprague Development’s remodeling of the old bat factory. Both groups are requesting the village install 4 inch water lines. EBC would like to begin construction fairly soon and Sprague would like to have the new line installed and tested before they start pouring concrete for the parking area. Mr. Morton pointed out that installing the lines is expensive,
and there was general discussion about the best way to get the lines into the Sprague project. One board members suggested it be standard practice that all developers have an engineer assess the site and building plans to see what water, sewer, and other needs the plans call for.engineer anD sewer report
The Village Engineer reported on a meeting between himself, Holiday Valley, Tom Abriatis, Mark Alianello, and the architect for the Holiday Valley Main Chalet. They were discussing the grease traps to be installed in the restaurants. Picking up on the previous comment the mayor said in the future he wants to be notified and to meet with the village engineer to go over any development plans regarding, water, sewer and grease traps. The engineer reported on the need to obtain ultraviolet algae control units. He wants to rent four units; rotate three around various areas, and install one is in a permanent location. The rental is about $3,000 per year, but if purchased are $13,000 and the rental money can be applied to the purchase. A motion was made to rent the units, which passed. The Engineer also reported on negotiations with the state DEC regarding the villages sewer discharge. They have been working out a schedule on how soon the village must be able to comply with state set particulate limits. The DEC had wanted to fine the village for being in excess of the SPDES limits. The Village engineer had strongly objected and the state backed off. The Village Attorney has also replied to the letter from the DEC.
ConstaBle reportHoward Gifford reported he had issued 18 summonses and 19 warnings to various folks in May. He noted that he had to issue warnings to two bicycle riders who were not following
traffic rules. He pointed out that all people on bicycles must follow the rules including stopping at stop signs. He asked for a motion to allow the mayor to sign the purchase order for the new radio units: 4 portable and one mobile units will be ordered. The motion passed. In other business the village will be placing a plaque at the Village Park acknowledging Mr. Nannan for donating the land for the park as well as the Arboretum. Special Events The Centurion bike race will be paying for all the police presence during the races. They will be bringing in state troopers to assist. The Rodeo and Midnight Hayrides have asked for permission to put up signs around the Village prior to those events. As the meeting drew to a close Mayor Coolidge asked if there were any comments from the floor about the decrease in the maximum discharge rate to the sewer system; the reason for the public hearing. No citizens had come into the meeting and there were no additional comments from the board. The mayor closed the public hearing and a motion to change the rate was opened. There were no additional comments and the motion passed. The mayor reported that some people are paying $2,000 per year for flood insurance, because part of the village is in a flood plane. They have asked the mayor if something could be done about it. Patra Lowes mentioned that people have told her that Modern Waste Disposal is still picking up recycling placed in the wrong bags. People feel it’s unfair to those who go to the time and expense to purchase the proper bags. The mayor said the village might consider establishing its own transfer station (dumpster) for recycling. There was no further discussion, and the meeting was adjourned.

tops remoDeleD Mr. Lou Terragnoli from Tops Markets presented the board with a revised rendering of the outside of the store. The previous plans had been rejected by the board because the members objected to some scalloped details along the wood trim of the exterior. The new plans removed the scalloped details and re-arraigned the wood trim to make the front of the store look more like a cabin. A board member said the new plans were, “exactly what we
asked for.” The board requested that Tops retain the pay phone just outside the store, calling it a “historic site” because no one uses pay phones anymore. Mr. Terragnoli mentioned that more remodeling will be done to the interior of the store as well. This pleased the board members, prompting one of them to say, “you’ve already done so much!” The sign out front was part of the discussion. Terragnoli also showed new remodel plans for the sign. The re-done sign will be trimmed in wood to keep it more in line visually with other businesses in town. The round steel poles supporting the sign will be framed in wood, and the top of the sign will be cleaned up. The goose neck lamps currently supported by a metal frame will will be attached to the wood trim.
greer ConstruCtion
The board threw a bit of a road block in front of some property owners who are planning new construction on Greer Hill. They are contracting with Timberbuilt Homes to construct a home on their property. Although the architect presented a color rendering of the front of the house and architectural drawings the board refused to take any action on the plans. They want to see a complete list of the materials to be used on the front of the house, and a more accurate rendering of how those materials will look. The primary concern seemed to be the use of corrugated steel covering part of one of the pop out sections of the house. The board tabled any further discussion of the plan until they are presented a complete site plan. There was no other business so the meeting was adjourned. Check Us Out At www.thevillagerny.com
