As you'll see if you click on this link to the Salamanca Press, there appear to be at least two LVCS alumni on the ballots in Cattaraugus County's Democratic and Republican primaries this coming Tuesday: Norm Marsh, a Republican; and John Zimbardi, who the Press says is a Republican and a Democrat. The race they're in involves two seats on the county legislature.
(We must admit to being a bit confused -- and not just about which party John is hoping to represent: The Press says both Norm and John are incumbents, but the county's official website doesn't list John as being a member of the legislature right now. Could the media have made a mistake?)

Wait a minute! Akron looks more like Colorado than L.V.?
According to the Buffalo News, a Canadian film company doing a commercial decided to use Akron, N.Y., instead of Little Valley or Ellicottville as a backdrop that's supposed to look like Colorado. Go figure.
Hmm. Little Valley as a movie or TV setting. Perhaps the Buffalo Niagara Film Commission could be encouraged to keep on suggesting that.
Meanwhile, the opening game of the CLVCS football season didn't go so well from the CLVCS point of view: Maple Grove won 45-0.

Seen any Little Valley stuff out there?
With LVCS alumni spread further than we probably think, there are certainly enough eyes out there to spot interesting things that remind us all of the old home town and the old school.
Maybe it's the Little Valley Bistro in Sunol, Calif., which appears to be spinning off a Little Valley Winery (some bottles from there have already been spotted and made their way east). Or:
- The Little Valley Inn near Yosemite.
- The Little Valley Brewery in West Yorkshire, U.K.
- The Little Valley Candle Co.
Or maybe it's a license plate like this:
(OK, we cheated a bit. That license plate belongs to this blogger.)
If you spot anything LV-related, e-mail us here; memmottmark@yahoo.com.
Meanwhile, here's something interesting: The Glens Falls Post Star, in writing recently about the possibility that the Fort Edwards and Hudson Falls school districts might merge, notes that the most recent merger of two districts in New York State is the 2000 combination of Cattaraugus and Little Valley. The story (which you can read by clicking here) goes into considerable detail about the history and events since the new district was created, but seems to rely on one source -- Superintendent Louis McIntosh Jr.
