The Middleport Free Library has announced that it has not received any petitions from members of the community seeking to be placed on the ballot for election to either of the two Library Board Trustee positions to be voted on at its June 4, 2012 annual meeting.
There are two Board positions with terms expiring on June 30, 2012. Current trustee, Carolyn Wagner, has notified the Library Board that she would not seek re-election to the Board. Current Trustee, Amy Monti, has been nominated for re-election in accordance with Library bylaws.
As there is only one candidate for the two expiring Trustee positions, the election is not contested. In accordance with the Library bylaws, at the annual meeting to be held on June 4, 2012, the Secretary will cast one ballot for Amy Monti. Her new three (3) year term will commence on July 1, 2012.
Advertising for interested applicants for these positions was placed in the local newspaper on April 5th and 19th, along with a notice on the Library’s website and at the circulation desk. Interested applicants were required to submit a valid petition to the Library no later than 30 days prior to the annual meeting (or due by May 5, 2012). There were no petitions received by the Library.

Hand-carved wooden carrousels, once common in the United States, are being lost to wear and tear, fire, storms, vandalism, and being broken up for sale to collectors. It is estimated that approximately 5,000 hand-carved carrousels were produced in the United States during the “golden age” of carrousels, with perhaps more than 3,000 of these produced by North Tonawanda carrousel manufacturers. Today there are only approximately 120 of these hand-carved masterpieces remaining in the United States. But many groups and organizations are working hard to save them, and the preservation of these few remaining artifacts and related collections is of national concern.
The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum has an active restoration program focused on its 1916 #1 Special carrousel. Several of the carrousel’s wooden horses are currently undergoing restoration, and the museum hopes to be able to restore all the horses within the next two years. As part of New York Heritage Weekend, the museum is offering a rare behind-the-scenes tour and lecture to share how our antique wooden animals are lovingly returned to their original condition. Mark your calendars for Sunday, May 20, 2012 at 2 PM and join us for this next program in our free Carrousel Chat series.
New York Heritage Weekend celebrates the state’s unique role in shaping America with special events and programs throughout the state. Made possible through partnerships with federal, state, and private organizations, Heritage Weekend not only connects tourists and residents with the state’s rich heritage but also helps stimulate the local economy, generating more than $1.6 million in 2011.
The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is housed in the historic Allan Herschell Company Factory building at 180 Thompson Street, North Tonawanda. For directions and further information about special events, programs, or group tours, visit our web site: www.carrouselmuseum.org or contact us at 716-693-1885 or info@carrouselmuseum.org.
Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference, like the perfect hardware on your new kitchen cabinets. When you buy from the big box stores, they choose that for you and it you want to change it, you buy it yourself and do it yourself, but not at Maedl’s Woodcrafts.
You put your own special and individual finishing touch on it. Our customers are happy that we have a large hardware selection from many different distributors so that their project can have just the right finishing touch.
Maedl’s Woodcrafts has been in business for many years and our customers know that they get the most bang from their buck when they order one cabinet or a complete kitchen from us. We can make your spaces into something both beautiful and practical by designing a unique kitchen plan for your size and shape room. The big box stores can’t do that. Their cabinets some in set sizes – at Maedl’s we set the size to your space.
It’s all about getting quality cabinets made by craftsman for the best price – in fact, it’s often the same price that you would pay for cabinet out of a box. Call us to come visit our showroom and learn more.
Spots are not a problem for the Carpet Doctor. Even Dick or Jane can see that after taking a look at this untouched video. The Carpet Doctor specializes in making your carpets look new.
And did you notice the color of this rug? Beige background.

He also has a newsletter where he shares his FIBER-tips with you so that you can keep your carpets fresh and have them last longer and look better. Just sign up and get FIBER-tips in your email inbox. And don’t forget to check his page for online specials before you schedule your carpet cleaning – just mention that you saw it online.
To mark the 83 years of service to the Royalton-Hartland community, there was a “Happy Birthday to the Library” celebration on Saturday, April 21 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the library, 9 Vernon St in Middleport.
The 100 guests including Senator George Maziarz enjoyed some special birthday cake and had the chance to see and talk about all the services that the Middleport Free Library has to offer residents now.
The Middleport Free Library received its charter in 1929. Many folks don’t know that at that time, Doris Brunnell, started offering preschool story hours, one of the first programs of its kind in New York State. The library has grown through the years, adding the upstairs community room in 1980 and the four Internet access terminals continue to make it a popular place to come for meetings and special programs, and of course, books, periodicals, DVDs, books on tape and music CDs.
Pieces of History Inside
The Middleport Free Library also houses several unique collections pertinent to the area’s history. Lining the walls of the library are oil paintings of area homes and landscapes painted by Mrs. Myrtle Wilmot, and the local history collection features copies of the “Hammond Gazette,” a newsletter created by Ray Hammond that was sent to area servicemen and women serving in WWII, the Korean War and Vietnam.
For more information about the 83rd birthday celebration at the Middleport Free Library contact Rose Bernard at 735-3281.

BECOME A VOLUNTEER AND HELP PRESERVE AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF HISTORY!
The Herschell Carrousel Factory Museum is a vital part of Western New York’s cultural and historic community. The museum’s collection is filled with rare and valuable artifacts that tell the story of an important local industry with national significance. More importantly though, the museum is a treasure for visitors and residents alike, a place where they can come to not only learn about the past but build memories for the future. Each year thousands of adults and school children come to tour the museum, take part in special events, and of course share a magical ride on the historic carrousels.
There’s nothing magic keeping the museum’s doors open, though—just the dedication of many people. The museum relies heavily on the hard work, skill, and passion of numerous volunteers for most of its operations—from guided tours to building maintenance. This spring we are looking for more such people to help fulfill our vital educational mission. Whatever your strengths and talents, the museum has a place for you. We currently need help in a number of areas, including admissions, the gift shop, operating the carrousels, construction and maintenance, tour guides, the children’s gallery and special events, and much more.
If you think you have what it takes, join us for an introductory open house from 3:00pm – 5:00pm on Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Enjoy a special tour of the museum and learn more about our fascinating history. Discover all of the exciting volunteer opportunities available, and how you can help. Become part of a fun and friendly group of staff and volunteers and discover one of the most rewarding and FUN volunteer experiences around!
For further information about this or any of the museum’s special events, programs, or tours, visit our web site: www.carrouselmuseum.org or contact us at 716-693-1885 or info@carrouselmuseum.org.

Yes, light bulbs are changing and it may not be easy to figure out what you need now with the new types and properties of the latest in light bulbs. But at Spalding Ace Hardware and Standish-Jones, we can help.
Did you know that the nation’s new light bulb rules start taking effect Sunday?
The standards require light bulbs be at least 25% more efficient and carry labels on the front and back of packages to explain their brightness, annual operating costs and expected life span. This applies to all light bulbs made or imported after Jan. 1, but the efficiency standards apply only to traditional 100-watt incandescents. The efficiency rules will begin applying to the old-fashioned 75-watt bulb in January 2013 and 40- and 60-watt bulbs in January 2014.
The incandescent that Thomas Alva Edison invented is notoriously inefficient. It wastes 90% of its energy as heat rather than light, which is why it’s so hot when in use. So when you need to get your bulbs, head over to Spalding Ace Hardware and get the right thing.
Stop in and find what you need quickly at our stores because we know that you would rather be doing something else instead of picking out light bulbs!

Do you have a favorite recipe that everyone raves about? Have you often thought about producing and selling it? Whether it is your homemade salad dressing, marinara sauce, or jam, everyone tells you it is the best they have ever tasted. You feel strongly it will do well in the marketplace. Before you get started there are many things you need to consider.
The Niagara SBDC is proud to announce the recent publication of “Recipe for Success: Selling Food Products Planning Guide.” This guide was developed to help you get started as a food entrepreneur or to take your home based business to the next level.
Bringing your product to market can be exciting and rewarding, but may also be time consuming and back breaking. It is very important to understand the proper steps needed to turn a recipe into a profitable product. You can’t simply make a food product in your home kitchen, place it in a bottle, and start selling it. There are rules and procedures you must follow. You must also understand the markets where you will sell your product.
This comprehensive guide includes a complete case study and is valued at $19.95. It is available at no charge to SBDC clients. Call us today to learn if you have what it takes to become a food entrepreneur. Excerpt from the guide.
Visit your local NYSBDC www.nyssbdc.org and become a client to receive the complete guide.
Sam Adams Black Lager is now available at Darrell’s Place. It’s a dark beer that is brewed with several different roasts of malt to create a smooth body and a depth of malt character that has to be tasted to be believed. Come on in and try it and become a believer yourself. But just what is Black Lager and what is this thing you call “schwarbier”? Let Darrell help with this finer point about dark beer! (Actually, we took this off the Sam Adams website but Darrell knows this too.)
When one sees a beer with a darker complexion these days, more often than not it’s a porter or a stout. But looks can be deceiving. There exists a style older than both and generally less well known; the schwarzbier, which literally translates to “Black Beer.” Unlike its dark cousins which are ales hailing from Britain, schwarzbier comes from Germany and uses a bottom fermenting lager yeast. Samuel Adams Black Lager is brewed in the tradition of the latter. A medium bodied beer brewed using several different roasts of malt to create a smooth body and depth of malt character that has to be tasted to be believed.

The amazing and fabulous hand knitted works of art some of us may refer to as “toys” are now a part of Artists in Buffalo. Yes, there were recently discovered, just like a Hollywood star discovery, while on a show in Buffalo and now, well, who knows what lies ahead.
About Artists in Buffalo
So what about this group that realizes the artistic talent that Woodman Farms puts into every creation? Well, the mission of the association is to:
Support, promote and increase the visibility of regional artists, galleries, museums and related arts businessesProvide a substantial visual resource that conveys the quality and breadth of art created in our area
Provide a unique opportunity for the greater community to visit artists in their working environment
Support Buffalo Niagara region in its quest to be identified as a strong cultural center and its emergence as an arts destination
This association has made amazing strides since its inception in the Fall 2001, showcasing the cultural and artistic treasures in the city and region.
So you can see the Woodman Farms Gallery online on Artists In Buffalo and look at some of the other beautiful creations from other area artisans too.
NOTE: While this is a beautiful thing, I just want everyone to know that I knew the handmade, hand knitted items from Woodman Farms were art – yes, I did. So, I am very pleased that Artists in Buffalo agrees with me.

That’s what the told me when I mentioned that Maedl’s Woodcrafts makes kitchen cabinets. While they do, and their customers brag that they have a Maedl Kitchen, apparently there are people who brag about their Maedl’s den, office or bathroom cabinets too.
And then they added that Maedl’s Woodcrafts also is known for their custom counter tops, not just cabinets, so I was a bit more than red faced.
It seems that many people, instead of moving to a new home, are updating their homes more now that the economy is a bit tighter. They aren’t only redoing kitchens, they are updating bathrooms, dens and office spaces too.
Of course, the cabinets and counter tops are focal points in each of these spaces, and here is where Maedl’s can help the most by custom fitting cabinets to your space. Store bought cabinets out of a chain store come in specific sizes and you install them where they fit.
Get the most from your dollar too, because the prices for Maedl’s and the box stores cabinets are NOT that different. Call (716) 735-7631 to schedule a visit with Maedl’s Woodcrafts.

Question: Does Acupuncture Hurt? What if I am afraid of needles?
Acupuncture is a safe and relatively painless treatment when performed by a qualified and conscientious practitioner. Licensed acupuncturists know the human anatomy well and are trained to insert needles safely.
Acupuncture needles are sterilized and disposable after a single use. An acupuncture needle is not the same as a medical hypodermic needle, they are many time thinner.
With needle insertion you may experience a brief discomfort as the needle penetrates the skin that can be followed by a mild sensation of tingling, warmth, or heaviness, that usually disappears.
Most people find the experience extremely relaxing and uplifting and even fall asleep for the duration of the treatment.
The benefits of acupuncture, an ancient and effective Chinese method for treating a wide variety of health conditions, is getting more recognition by members of the medical community all over the world, and many people are getting relief with acupuncture treatment.

Congrats to Lisa Trippensee of Apple Blossom Florist who was recognized on September 23, 2011 with a Community Service Award by the Orleans County Orleans County Chamber of Commerce.
But that is not all – both New York State Senator George Maziarz and New York State Assemblyman Steven Hawley joined in with a certificate of merit and a citation from New York State, respectively, to make her service to the local community even more prominently recognized.
Senator Maziarz’s Certificate of Merit included his statement that he is proud to salute Lisa’s accomplishments and that he wishes her well in the future – as do all of us who know her! Lisa has been recognized in the past for her many works to promote the area and local business but this time, she received all THREE awards at once.
Lisa was recognized because of her many and meaningful contributions to the community in both her personal and professional life. The award is an honor and Lisa posed with her shop cat, Blossom, with her citations for this photo at her shop, Apple Blossom Florist, 530 Main Street in Medina.
Apple Blossom Florist is a full service florist and Lisa invites you to come into her shop to visit and enjoy the ever changing displays!

Thank you Andy and Greg for selling hotdogs at the Car Show which made a profit of $50.00!
Discussed: Speed Marketing Event – It was suggested that RHBPA do a combined event with Medina Business Association and have a simple buffet or members could bring hors d’oeuvres and cookies. See attached questionnaire at the end of this post. Please share any other ideas you have at the next meeting.
More on Music in the Park/Wine & Chocolate Event: Wayne Blumrick has all the ticket stubs with people’s names and addresses so announcement cards can be sent out next year. Professional signs should be made to promote the event.
$100 was approved for the Girl Scouts to plant mums in the flower barrels.
April suggested more activities to coincide with the Tree Lighting Ceremony, possibly a sleigh ride with reindeer. Alternative Grounds may have a Christmas Tea. Bring your ideas to the next meeting.
Welcome new member Mark McDaniel, owner of The Candle Nook in Medina!
Joe Mahley is a WNY native, born and raised in Niagara County. He would mostly describe himself as a project manager at CitiBank in Getzville, however recently a hobby of his has taken him in another direction.
Joe did some doodling as a child growing up in Middleport, as most kids do, but by the time he was in high school, sports occupied most of his time.
Joe was also diagnosed with cancer in three areas of his body by the time he was 16. The cancer slowed him down only a little bit, but Joe persevered with his strong faith and positive personality.
By 19, he was cancer free and was able to take some art classes at Niagara County Community College along with his computer courses. It was at NCCC, Joe Mahley truly discovered his talent and his love of art.
Joe drew on and off over the years. He got married, had two beautiful little girls and settled into his career as a programmer. Last year, while on a day off from work, Joe decided to draw some people from an online website called Reddit. He then posted the pictures he drew and made a comment that people should buy them for Valentine’s Day.
Overnight the website that he posted his drawings on received over 170 thousand hits. By the end of the next day, over 250 thousand people had looked at his drawings. People from all over the world started ordering photos. Joe immediately opened East Avenue Art, an online art company.
This past week Joe entered his first art show in Lancaster, NY. He brought some ballerinas he had drawn, hoping to sell some prints. Joe was quite surprised when he won the ribbon for “First Place Expert” and a cash prize at his first show ever. The award he won was the highest honor that the show gave out. The head judge was quoted as saying that they haven’t seen talent like this in a long time, and Joe Mahley has what it takes to go all the way.
Joe continues to work from his Lockport studio taking commissions for portraits, pets, and homes. He has a website, www.EastAveArt.com and facebook page under “East Avenue Art.”
The word about Maedl’s Woodcrafts has traveled to Rochester!
Around the showroom
Richard Maedl installed a beautiful kitchen in the Rochester, NY area and the neighbors are all talking about how great it looks.
His latest kitchen included a unique rope knot edging design on the counter top that really makes this kitchen stand out.
The proud owners of this new Maedl kitchen were not only happy with the beautiful craftsmanship, their custom made kitchen was less expensive than the two other estimates they had gotten from chain home improvement stores.

The January 2011 issue of Faces & Places, a publication of the Medina J0urnal Register, features Lisa Trippensee of Apple Blossom Florist and Blossom, her shop cat.
Blossom just showed up one day and decided to stick around for the long-haul. She has become a fixture at Apple Blossom Florist, 530 Main Street in Medina, and many of the customers stop in just to pet her and say hello. Others walk past and stop for a moment to watch her sun herself in Apple Blossom Forist’s window. Of course, they might also be looking at some of the amazing floral arrangements in the window too.
Become one of Blossom’s Facebook friends by going to this page and clicking her “add friend” link.
You too can stop by and visit her and see what Lisa, Blossom’s mom, at the shop on Main Street in Medina has in the shop. Great gift ideas, chocolate from Barker Chocolate Box, and silk arrangements too. And if you need fresh flowers for any occasion, Apple Blossom Florist has it.
The 100 guests including Senator George Maziarz enjoyed some special birthday cake and had the chance to see and talk about all the services that the Middleport Free Library has to offer residents now.
