The Gin Mill is featuring two bands on Wednesday night beginning at 8 p.m. – Joe Wagner and John Winston will start the evening off with an acoustic Halloween set, followed by Freddie and Retro Lil Joey who will keep the place hopping.

From 6-8 p.m., kids can trickor-treat, play games, and enjoy hay rides in a fun and safe environment. The event is free.

Great Valley: The Nightmare Hayride on Sommerville Street in Great Valley is “known as the scariest haunted attraction of Western New York,” says owner John Kent. The hayride consists of a tractor ride down a haunted path with live creatures, a wooden maze, and a newly updated haunted barn with a vortex tunnel. Seven tractors keep things moving, while 70 workers keep you on the edge of your seats. The hayrides cost $17 per person; children under age 5 are free.

The attraction is open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (October 26-28) from 7:30-9 p.m. For more information, call (716) 699-4839.

Canadian Developer Considers Poverty Hill Property for Subdivision

Photos by Deb Golley

See page 9 for more sports

Ellicottville Planning Board Meeting, held Monday evening October 22, 2012, included a presentation from Andy Gow of Nussbaumer & Clarke, Inc., on

Proposed site plan of Gestion Blueberry Lake subdivision

behalf of 8232602 Canada Inc., and Gestion Blueberry Lake Inc. of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The pre-application conference and presentation was for a proposed subdivision at the 1,100 acre site of the former Poverty Hill ski area. The initial phase offering, as presented to the Planning Board, is for 144 acres and 24 lots – 21 of which are five acres each with private wells and septic systems – accessed by a private road off of Poverty Hill Road. The road has yet to be engineered, and may

change from the above-shown drawing, as setbacks and a detailed topographic survey are incorporated.

Gestion Blueberry Lake is responsible for Blueberry Lake close to Mont Tremblant, Quebec.

Blueberry Lake consists of 50 freehold properties of between 2350 and 3250 square feet, all located on individual plots of at least one acre and set within nearly 300 acres of land. The development features tennis courts, swimming pool, spa and an

extensive network of hiking and biking trails. Blueberry Lake attracts visitors year round from Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, the US and around the world.

It was chosen as one of the Best Canadian Developments

by Homes Overseas and has won numerous other awards such as the Grand Prix of tourism and has been awarded the Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence. It is thought that a similar approach will be taken to the development at Poverty Hill although exact details have yet to be released. The Canadian developers will have to provide a letter from the property owners, stating that See Poverty Hill Page 4

Banish boring gifts from your holiday list this year and give original presents everyone on your list will appreciate.

Take a few hours to explore East Otto and enjoy a leisurely drive along the scenic, rolling terrain leading you to talented local artists.

On Nov. 3–4, East Otto Country Associates, a group of arts-based businesses, will hold their 26th annual Holiday Open House both days from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Current members include Hog-Shed Studio Pottery, Brookside Studio Watercolors and WoodSwork Carvings, which offer quality, handmade treasures and unique gifts.

This year, Michael and Elliott Hutten, the creative hands behind Hog-Shed Studio Pottery, mark their 30th anniversary of working with clay to produce lead-free, functional stoneware pottery that is safe for the dishwasher, microwave and oven.

According to Michael, “We don’t use toxic materials in our glazes or in our clay, and our products are very functional and durable.”

Hog-Shed specializes in highfired stoneware clay including functional and decorative pieces like mugs, bowls, casseroles, teapots, plates, vases and more.

Elliott uses simple tools, a slab roller and potter’s wheel to make her professionally crafted pieces.

A small portion of their production is low-fired, decorative Raku pottery, which requires a few extra steps in the firing process to achieve the distinctive look, changing the glazes and blackening the clay

body that results in the brilliant empty-handed.

Make a stop at Brookside contrast of colorful finishes against a dramatic, dark back- Studio Watercolors where Robin Zefers Clark tells stories ground.

Elliott said, “Many of our with her brushes when she customers have become good creates original watercolor portraits and friends throughout the years, paintings, so I look forward commissioned works. She also to each Holiday sells limited edition prints and Open House as a reproductions.

Diane and Dan Pawlowski, owners of Pumpkinville in Great Valley NY, present the WNY Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® with a donation of $2,500, which represents a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each “pink” pumpkin.

This year, Pumpkinville added an exciting new “pink” pumpkin to its pumpkin yard.

This new pumpkin is unique not only because of its color, but because its sale will benefit local breast cancer services: “When Diane and I researched growing pink pumpkins, we knew immediately we had to use them to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Western New York. They’ve been a huge success with our crowds!” said Dan Powlowski.

Funds raised by the Komen WNY Affiliate go to support local breast health education and outreach programs and services for families affected by this disease.

Community Christmas Cantata Rehearsals Begin Concert Dec. 3 at 3:00 p.m.

On Sunday, October 14, at 1:00 p.m. rehearsals for the Community Christmas Cantata began. The choir will meet at the United Church on 53 Elizabeth Street in Ellicottville, for eight Sundays leading up to the concert at 3:00 on Dec. 16th, 2012. All 90 minute sessions

Satin N’ Spurs Line Dancers

will begin at 1:00 except Oct. 21, which will be at 7:00 p.m.

Also, no rehearsal will be scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 25th, during Thanksgiving break.

This year’s Cantata is a newly written work by Larry Shackley entitled “A

Blest Messiah Born.” Mrs. Ieda stated that “Since the work includes solos, SATB ensembles, instrumental parts, and even a song for “children’s voices,” it will have appeal for singers of all ages.” All area musicians are encouraged to join this “community project.”

During the month of November, all eight CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank) locations will display red wagons. The red wagon is the national symbol of “America’s Promise” (a nationwide program that focuses on improving the lives of America’s youth). The wagons will serve as depositories for public donations of new hats and mittens.

Local groups and schools will receive and distribute the donations.

CCB joined America’s Promise in 1999 and is helping to ensure that children receive the five resources the organization believes children need in order to become productive adults: An ongoing relationship with a caring adult-mentor; Access to safe places & structured activities during non-school hours; A healthy start;

A marketable skill through effective education; An opportunity to give back through community service “It’s getting to be the time of year when the thought of keeping warm with a good hat and pair of mittens is at the forefront of our minds,” states Mary Jo Woodarek, CCB’s America’s Promise Chair. “We don’t want any child to be cold this coming winter. It’s as simple as that. Some families need help and CCB is pleased to take the initiative to do that.

So … we ask … can you help a child by donating hats and mittens?”

CCB is an FDIC insured New York State chartered independent, community bank. From January 2, 1902, CCB has established an unprecedented record of fiscal integrity and sound financial growth, which now totals $180 million in assets. CCB maintains convenient ATMs and can be found on the web at www.ccblv.com.

CCB is an equal housing lender.

CCB’s main office is located in Little Valley, with seven branch offices.

Checking Out The Tunes & Other Stuff in Ellicottville October 26 -November 1, 2012 8 bands 2 DJ’s 4 Halloween Parties

BY SHERMAN & ROBBY WILKENS

As October comes to an end and we enter Halloween Week, the fall colors are brilliant, yet fading fast. We have had a fairly rainy fall. A good example was Fall Fest Weekend. However, this coming weekend and maybe early next week looks OK. So, with the PARTY TIME of Halloween Week happening this and next weekend, you may wish to find a little time to enjoy what is left of golf season. Holiday Valley’s Golf Season will end on Halloween.

However, as long as the weather cooperates, Elkdale Country Club will still be up and running until the snow flies. Call either course, make a Tee time, then get out and enjoy what is left of our Great Golf Good Times.

As we usually do, before we talk about the music, here is some info on several music free locations that are very neat places to visit. We begin with Tips Up Cafe, a wonderful restaurant located on Washington Street. That, along with their excellent and well prepared fine dining menu, you will get to experience, what we call, Ellicottville’s local home town service with a Tips Up Cafe Smile. This is a great place to enjoy an excellent dinner as part of a really neat night out on the town.

Then on Monroe Street, The Barn Restaurant, another local and family friendly place, offers great food, especially the Friday Fish Fry, and drink specials along with all ages friendly service. All of this creates an atmosphere that is a FUN Barn Experience.

Just east of Ellicottville, The Birdwalk Restaurant & Antique Shop will also be serving up their great gourmet pizza specials along with a fine dining menu that will have you returning for sure. Also remember, The Birdwalk’s service is great.

Returning to just south of the Village, The Depot will be open their normal hours Friday through Sunday. Their wonderful food and drink specials will be happening along with neat, yet Very Spooky Rock Music, flowing through the sound system.

Now on to music, starting today Friday Oct. 26, 2012 through Thursday Nov. 1, 2012 we will have 8 Bands, 2 DJ’s, and 4 Spooky Halloween Parties taking place in and around Ellicottville creating the Good Times we all enjoy.

We begin this Friday evening at 7:00 PM in Balloons with “The Little Sister Band.”.This all female Rock ‘N Blues quartet has a couple of members most will recognize. First on lead vocals is the Soulful Mistress of

C.U. ‘Round The Music Scene the Blues, Kate Engler, who we all remember from “The Kate Engler Blues Band” and Holly Johnson from “Jokers Wild.”

They have joined up with Jackie and Kim to create this really Good Rockin Blues quartet that will have Balloons really deep in The Blues this Friday.

Following “Little Sister,” “Personable DJ John Barry” will take over from Balloons Sound & Light Booth with his LIVE Personality Show Off Show that will keep Balloons ROCKIN till close.

Returning to 9:00 PM Friday, “RT Live” will be WOWIN The Gin Mill Music Crowd with his acoustic version of many classics to country rock tunes.

Like the last week or so, RT might hook up with Freddie on percussion creating more Gin Mill Music FUN. For those of you who enjoy a later meal, especially a great fish fry, remember, The Gin Mill serves their excellent, reasonably priced, menu till midnight on weekends.

Like most weeks, Saturday’s music begins at 6:00 PM in Balloons with “The Black & Blues Band,” a Buffalo based four-piece band that we remember from last May as Buffalo’s finest Blues Funk to Classic Rock & Jam Band.

They create a high-energy atmosphere by using a very delicate blend of rhythms and sounds which is unmistakably their own. They played in Balloons twice this past year and really lived up to their billing with an excellent show.

Following “The Black & Blues Band”, “DJ Chatty, Friendly and totally Flakey Frank Watson,” will have a Balloons sponsored Party Monster Pass from The Disoriented DJ Home. This will allow his All Ages Friendly and really FUN Party Continuation Show to happen in Balloons Sound & Light Booth till close.

Then at 9:00 PM Saturday, “The Joe Wagner Band” will be in The Gin Mill. This will be the four-piece version of this great band, featuring Gary Boldt on lead guitar and Stuart Shapiro on drums plus Joe Wagner and John Winston. Retro Lil Joey might also join in. As always, with the full band, we will hear a more ROCKIN version of the music we hear on Wednesdays.

It will still be the wonderful folk to southern rock tunes they do so well. The addition of Gary and Stuart creates even more Gin Mill FUN Music Times.

Also at 9:00 PM Saturday, Madigans Up-Stairs Haunted Halloween Party will begin.

Don’t forget to show up in costume.

The PUB in Great Valley will also have their “Haunted Halloween Experience” happening this Wednesday. So stop in The PUB to enjoy their Local FUN Times.

The week becomes complete at 8:00 PM Thursday in The Gin Mill with “Freddie & Friends” doing their weekly version of what used to be the Weekly Notice Band. The music will be Classic to Country Rock.

Locally Grown and Produced Fresh Food Comes ‘From the Ground Up’

by Eva Potter

The freshest food is food that is grown close to where you live, work and play. It hasn’t traveled miles inside a tractor trailer, hasn’t been refrigerated a few weeks or been on display shelves for several days, and Kimberly LaMendola, Regional Development Coordinator at Southern Tier West (STW) Regional Planning and Development Board, is working to assist producers in capitalizing on their products while helping to improve community health.

In early summer, LaMendola conducted a comprehensive Food Producer Survey of over 150 farmers, growers, food producers and other local food participants from Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties to determine current production methods, the ability or interest in scaling up production, business growth needs and level of interest in participating in a local food branding campaign. Analysis so far has indicated a majority interest in a local food branding program.

“There is a wonderful diversity of food products that are being grown, produced or made in these three-county areas,” said LaMendola, citing honey, produce, pork, poultry,

beef, dairy products and more.

STW also applied for a USDA Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) to do a consultant-driven study to look into the feasibility of creating a food hub for the three-county area and to develop a potential business plan and business model along with possible locations. This will also include mapping and plotting current and potential food production sites, as well as identifying locations of current and potential markets.

U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., recently announced that STC was awarded the RBOG grant of $25,864 to study the potential creation of a multicounty food hub and to identify where food is being grown, where it travels and to identify the sources of the food that people eat in the threecounty area.

Food hubs aggregate food crops like lettuce, carrots, honey, eggs, dairy products and meats, which can be processed to varying degrees, and may offer shared kitchen facilities and food processing areas, with the ultimate a goal of linking local food to consumers and getting it on the menus of schools, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and other institutions.

In addition to improving

community health, LaMendola said, “(STW) has an equal goal of creating a positive economic impact, especially for our growers and producers, as well as creating opportunities for consumers to have access to fresh, local food options.”

Food infiltrates almost everything that we do in our professional life, personal life, daily life, “so community health professionals – meaning the nonprofits, the food pantries, the county health departments, the rural health services, the faith-based groups that feed the hungry – all have a steak in this local food economy,” explained LaMendola.

In addition, STW also received a grant of over $78,000, part of which included the creation of a food branding campaign that could also be co-branded by local producers (see logo). STW worked with a professional design firm to create the local food brand logo and tagline “Fresh. Local.

From the Ground Up,” which was modeled after a successful regional North Carolina food branding campaign designed to encourage the purchase of local produce.

“The full launch of the local (Chautauqua-CattaraugusAllegany counties) food branding campaign will take place in the spring of 2013, but there will be many months of behind-the-scenes work with the region’s growers and food producers as they develop the program use guidelines and create an implementation strategy guided by Southern Tier West and several nationally-recognized food branding consultants,” said LaMendola, who will invite North Carolina representatives to visit and consult with producers sometime this winter.

Poverty Hill Subdivision Cont. from Front Page

Andy Gow presented initial site plans to the Town Planning Board for the proposed Blueberry Lakes subdivision at the site of the old Poverty Hill ski area. they have permission to apply for a subdivision application.

The Planning Board gave the approval to proceed, if the developers wish to go forward with the project.

John and Anne Northrup were also on the planning board agenda, with pre-application conference questions about the construction site

property recently vacated by their company, Northrup Construction.

General questions about allowable uses were asked by Northrup, in hopes of determining what potential tenants he may wish to pursue, without incurring any lengthy special use permit application processes.

The Horn Hill / Buffalo Ranch

developers were on the agenda, but asked to be removed, as they were not ready to pursue a pre-application conference at this time.

Lastly, in a letter addressed to Carl Calarco re: Glen Burn Trail subdivision at East Washington Street, the planning board asked him to go back and revise the master plan. Calarco is expected to make a new presentation to the board in November or December of this year in hopes of starting construction in the spring of 2013.

Rick and Glenda Jackson, owners of the Ilex Inn and neighbors of the Calarco property mentioned that a garage toward the back of the Glen Burn Trail subdivision “looks like a dump,” with trash piled high in the building. The board said they would contact Town Building Inspector Tom Abriatis immediately to have it cleaned up. (As of Wednesday Oct. 24, Tom Abriatis had inspected the property and talked with Carl Calarco about the problem. The garage is scheduled for demolition on Monday, Oct. 29.)

The next Town Planning Board meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 26, 2012, at 6:00 p.m.

The End Of Men? I Don’t Think So Hannah Rosin, a writer for Atlantic magazine has just published a book with the provocative title – The End of Men. Based on a short list of selective trends, Hannah is predicting the meltdown of the male in today’s world. I have two words for Hannah Rosin: “Oh yeah, well, like that’s what you think, eh!”

The complete title is The End of Men: And The Rise of Women. Hannah’s flawed forecast of the demise of men in today’s society is based on a number of current trends between the sexes.

“More women are attending and graduating from universities and colleges.” Well “duh!” Of course more women are going to college and stupid drug testing is the reason. College women don’t take steroids and growth hormones and get kicked off the team and then have to take jobs at Fat Boy Burgers and wind up with certificates in spot welding from a correspondence course. I just don’t see college-age women making this kind of sacrifice for their male colleagues. (Plus higher scholastic standards did us no favours, neither.)

Young men today don’t need no degrees; they got stomachs that ripple and biceps the size of grapefruits.

So Hannah, next time you get groped on the subway don’t look for help from the guy with the lunch bucket and hardhat, the guy whose spot you took at university. Just turn and slap that degenerate silly with your Bachelor of Arts degree.

“Men have become dependent upon women as the breadwinners.” Well of course we have. We stopped evolving as a male human species in 1969. At every juncture of social change, each time men got smarter; women gave us more difficult assignments.

It wasn’t fair. Men created amazing technology so the

machines would do the work for us and we could spend quality time drinking beer and hunting and instead we ended up staying home and chilling unoaked chardonnay and operating salad shooters. You emasculated us and so yes, we’re now feather dusting and picking the kids up from school because no selfrespecting guy wants to show up at work with his … you know, without that masculating, thing.

Oh and by the way, thank you very much for coming up with the term “junk.” Yeah, now who’s getting headaches on a regular basis?

“Men need marriage more than women.” Oh yeah, sure.

If you’re right about women being today’s breadwinners, then yes we are absolutely desperate to go to the altar with somebody who makes $100,000 a year and gives us fifty bucks a week to buy groceries which unfortunately does not include alcoholic beverages.

You know what they say; a man is incomplete until he’s married.

Then he’s really finished!

And seriously, would it kill you to buy us some new vacuum cleaner bags without us having to borrow from other guys in the neighbourhood who pretend they don’t know where the vacuum cleaner is whenever we knock on their doors? And no, we will not wear those stupid aprons.

“Men need marriage to survive.”

Really?

George Clooney does not look to me to be a man who’s hanging on to his last days on earth by his finger nails. On the other hand, it seems marriage many have driven long-time bachelor Clint Eastwood just a little kookoo.

With half of all marriages ending in divorce these days, I believe surviving the lawyers is a bigger test than getting through a marriage and living to tell about it.

When it was pointed out to

the great philosopher Johnny Carson that married men live longer than single men, his response was: “Oh, what a shame, because married men are so much more willing to die.”

And Hannah, just so you know, Johnny Carson was survived by all of his wives. So there.

No, I’m sorry but the rumours of our death are greatly exaggerated. Think about it.

You get rid of men and you get rid of war and conflict and guns and bombs and violence and carnage and spiffy uniforms and … okay, forget that part.

You get rid of men and you might as well close down every Hooter’s restaurant in the world!

Plus golf courses and the ‘Live Bait” industry is going to take a real hit as well.

Men aren’t necessarily against marriage; it’s just that, at heart, what we really just want is to be boys again, to be wild again, beguiled again, a simpering, whimpering child again … hey, where the hell was I? Oh yeah, talking about that woman who claims that because we’re so unfocused, we’re dying out.

Well I would argue that women need men a whole lot more than we need them. And might I just quote the book title of Cynthia Heimel, a woman no less who summed up the dependency of today’s female on the male species: “A Woman Without A Man Is Like A Fish Without A Bicycle!”

So there you go Hannah. You want to live in a world without fish and bicycles and big boobs and live bait, then go ahead, make our day!

Kwik Fill Opening Scheduled for Early December

By Jann Wiswall

Construction workers at the new Kwik Fill/Red Apple location at the corner of Rt. 219 and Mill streets are busily positioning pumps, pouring concrete and black top, completing exteriors and installing interior equipment in preparation for an anticipated December 1 opening.

The new space will be twice as large as the old, with eight pumping stations, abundant parking, easy entry and exit, and more than 4,000 square feet of Red Apple store space.

Peter Conley, vice president of retail marketing for United Refining Company, which owns Kwik Fill/Red Apple (as well as the Country Fair and Keystone brands), says that the company plans to bring in its own food program, called

Food Express, to expand its menu offerings. Food Express will offer breakfast sandwiches and a wide selection of lunch and dinner options to go. “We’ll also offer more flavored coffees, flavored waters, a bigger beer selection and a larger supply of household items, snacks and automotive supplies,” he says.

The expansion in Ellicottville is in line with the company’s efforts to improve and renovate many of the 170 Kwik Fill/Red Apple locations in New York.

“We were definitely interested when Ellicott Development asked us to participate in the development of the new retail space at this location. The old location is difficult; it’s hard to get in and out of, so traffic backs up, and there’s not enough parking,” he says.

Rock City Redʻs

“Deal of the Week”:

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

OIL CHANGE SPECIAL Includes 5 Qts. Oil & Filter

United Refining Company is leasing the new space, but owns the property where the old Kwik Fill stands and plans to lease it in the near future. “We’ll be removing the underground gas tanks, the pumps, and the canopy in compliance with state Department of Environmental Conservation requirements,” Conley confirms.

A Grand Opening celebration of the new and improved location will be scheduled for 4-5 weeks after the move, says Conley. “We need to make sure everything is working properly.” Grand Opening plans likely include giveaways and special promotions to entice residents and visitors to stop in and see the more modern, userfriendly store.

Funding Opportunities Available for Artists

The Cattaraugus County Arts Council is proud to announce new funding opportunities that are available for artists. These two grants are funded by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program and administered locally by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council in Allegany, N.Y. The Arts Education grant and Artist in Community grant is open to any artist living in Cattaraugus, Allegany or Chautauqua counties.

The Arts Education (AE) program re-grants public funds to local artists and nonprofit organizations in partnership with local public schools engaging K-12 students in rich artistic learning experiences. AE funds are designed to support new or first-time arts education projects in K-12 school setting. For more information,

guidelines and budget, go to www.myartscouncil.net/artseducation. Deadline extended to Nov. 16, 2012.

The Artist in Community grant opportunity provides one award of $2,500 to an individual artist for the creation of new work within a community context. The goal of this grant is to support the creative work of an individual artist in all disciplines at the local level while encouraging interactions between artist and community. For more information, guidelines and budget, www.myartscouncil. n e t / a r t i s t - i n - c o m m u n i t y.

Deadline Extended to Nov. 16, 2012.

Both grants will employ an online application form that can be found at www. myartscouncil.net. For the applicants’ ease, CCAC’s

Programs and Grants Manager Courtney Blackmon has provided the entire application as a downloadable working form so that applicants can have all the information ready before he or she applies online.

A Few Facts: Charles (Charlie) Coolidge has lived in Ellicottville since he was a toddler. He attended Ellicottville schools back when classrooms were in the Schoolhouse building, the Town Hall building, a repurposed Signore warehouse, and in the space that is now Tips Up Café. His three sons with wife Sharon (who worked with the ECS schools until 2009) all graduated from the “new” Ellicottville High School. He and Sharon will celebrate their 47th wedding anniversary in December.

Charlie is retired from the Cattaraugus County Highway Department, where he started as a welder’s helper, operated snow plows, and became road section supervisor in Humphrey/Allegany, with responsibility for more than 100 miles of roadway.

Charlie has been Mayor of the Village of Ellicottville since 1998. When this term ends in 2016, he’ll have held the office for 18 consecutive years. Will he run again? “Probably,” he says. “I love this job.”

Q: What do you think makes Ellicottville special?

A: Ellicottville is such a friendly, warm place. People are always there to help others.

The community really rallies around a cause. It doesn’t make any difference if you’ve lived here for a year or for decades.

Folks make you feel like you’ve always lived here.

Q: What would you like to see change in Ellicottville in the next five-ten years?

A: I’d like lik to t see jobs j b come back to Ellicottville and the region so that our young people are able to stay here.

We educate our kids to go off for higher education and, in so many cases, they rack up a lot of debt. They don’t come back because there aren’t the wellpaying jobs that allow them to pay back that debt. Not even Buffalo is enough of a draw for good jobs. So they move farther away to other areas or to less expensive states with better job opportunities.

We’re working to develop more retail and entertainment venues in the Village and town to make it a more year-round resort area, but we also need to look for opportunities to build our full-time resident base and keep our kids here to raise their future families.

Q: What would you like to see stay the same?

A: The exteriors of the buildings on Washington, Monroe and Jefferson streets are what give the Village its identity and character. That needs to stay the same. Village zoning regulations require that

we retain an historic overlay, an and developers know that.

Q: Are you involved in any organizations/ community/volunteer groups outside of your gr official responsibilities? of A: I was a volunteer firrefighter for 34 years, and was involved with an the Fireman’s Association of the State of New York (F (FASNY). I also served as a trustee of FASNY’s Fi Fireman’s Home in Hudson, NY, a retirement community for firefighters.

Q: What are your favorite events and activities in Ellicottville?

A: I especially love the Rockin’ Oldies car show. We get a lot of great cars in town.

And Taste of Ellicottville has become a very popular attraction and another of my favorites.

In my free time, I hunt, fish in Great Valley Creek and spend as much time as I can with my 10 grandchildren. I also enjoy riding my bicycle, but riding along Rt. 219 doesn’t feel safe to me, and it isn’t safe for kids to ride to school. I hope we’ll be able to make the proposed recreational trail a reality for riders, as well as walkers, parents with strollers and others who want a designated route away from traffic.

Q: Favorite pie?

A: Blueberry.

Q: Favorite ice cream flavor?

A: Well, that would have to be blueberry.

Community Pulse: Week of Tension and Anxiety Over Fall Fest

by Mary Fox

Feelings are running high over incidents that took place during Fall Festival 2012.

To begin the week, concerns were voiced at a meeting of the Village Special Events Committee on Monday, Oct. 22. Acts of violence, property damage, alcohol abuse, lack of enforcement of the open container law, urination on private property, loud and rowdy behavior, bottles littering the streets and people’s yards and thrown at their homes were some of the problems reported.

Fall Festival was created to be a family event for local people and for visitors to Ellicottville to enjoy a day in the country, to give Ellicottville exposure, and to give the residents and organizations an opportunity to share in the financial benefits.

A juried art show guaranteed quality artwork. The antique show and craft vendors were mostly local. If not, vendors had to be sponsored by a local organization.

Ellicottville passed an open container law in 1989 because

of the growing abuse of alcohol in Ellicottville. For many years, the law was effective with regard to carrying of open containers of alcohol outside of bars and restaurants. This law was enacted to keep our streets safe from the results of alcohol abuse. Bars and vendors respected the law, but as the crowds have increased, so has the sale of alcohol. It has been reported that 60+ busloads of people were brought to Ellicottville on Friday and Saturday nights of Fall Festival this year.

Jack Rogan, Ellicottville Village Justice, reported that five or six persons were brought before him for violation of the open container law (1989 Sec 4 Sub Sec 4.2).

Ellicottville’s Festivals were reviewed by Chamber of Commerce President, Arlene Solly and members present at the Oct. 25 meeting. All agreed they were nice, quiet family oriented weekends. Fall Festival is another story. “We will have to tone it down,” said the Executive Director of

the Chamber of Commerce. It was pointed out that much of the alcohol was brought into the village. A meeting of bar owners will take place next week.

Other business discussed was ideas for future events in Ellicottville. Due to the expense of the Centurion Bike Race, it will not be held here next year.

Rick Jackson, owner of the Ilex Inn, suggested a family bike day as a fundraiser for a local organization. “Ideas are always welcome,” said Solly.

Lynn Timon manager of Alexandra had customers that weekend who expressed their dismay at the direction the festival has taken adding that “they didn’t feel safe bringing their children to the event or staying in town overnight due to the excessive abuse of alcohol in the village.” She also added “that business was better the Saturday following Fall Festival than any day during (conceding that the weather may certainly have played a role in that).”

ECS School Board Meeting Cont. from Front Page

there are significant issues with technology locations and care. Currently, much of the computer equipment is located in areas that are used for other activities and are at risk of damage.

“We need a designated technology room that is designed to change as technology changes,” said Ward.

Following his overview of building issues, Ward continued his report by noting that he will be including district testing results by school, Buffalo Business First school rankings and Regents Exam comparative data in the October issue of the school newsletter (which can be found under the district link on the ECS web site).

“Our families support education here. Our staff is dedicated. We have all the ingredients for success,” he said. “This data lets people know how we’re doing using several measures.”

Principals Reports Elementary School Principal Connie Poulin followed with a brief report on a fieldtrip she attended with grades 5 and 7 to the Corning Museum of Glass, where the children enjoyed making their own glass pieces using sandblasting techniques. She also attended a Special Education law conference in Buffalo. To no one’s surprise, she said the kids are eagerly looking forward to the Halloween parade on Wednesday, October 31, in the Village.

Middle/High School

Principal Robert Miller then gave his report on activities in his wing, where this week was Red Ribbon Week – dedicated to learning about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

Students heard from a New York state trooper about being cautious and aware, and also warned about the dramatic rise in prescription drug abuse across the country. Tenth through twelfth graders also listened to a presentation from the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department, which not only warned of the dangers of drinking and driving, but also gave an accounting of what a DWI can cost in terms of legal fees and tickets – anywhere from $7,000 to $20,000 depending on the criminal charges and the attorney. Miller said this information “really got their attention.”

In other news, Miller reported that a new vendor has been selected to provide fruit baskets for the Student Council’s popular fundraiser this year. For the first time, people will be able to place orders online, as well as by mail. He also said that five students have been selected by their art teachers to participate in the Cattaraugus County Arts Council enrichment program, which provides college-level instruction in painting and ceramics.

The big news, saved for last, is fall sports, which is now entering playoff season, Miller said. “This has been a banner year.” The girls’ volleyball team is undefeated and, he said, “There has never been a team of this caliber in

school history.” At a recent tournament, the team beat much larger schools including North Tonawanda, Faulkner, Portville and Williamsville.

“They’re like a well oiled machine.”

Meanwhile, the girls’ soccer team is ranked fourth in the state. And the boys’ soccer and football teams also are having exceptional years. It’s possible that all four teams will be in playoffs over four days. Playoff schedules will be posted soon, but it’s likely the middle school concert will have to be rescheduled because of them.

Shared Services Meeting Finally, Ward reported that and Principal Poulin, Board President Spell and Board Vice President Connie Hellwig attended a Shared Services meeting at Cattaraugus/Little Valley School to brainstorm how schools in the district, and possibly across districts, might find ways to save money by combining resources. Ward said the discussion ranged from sharing curriculum, transportation and business office functions, to teachers and distance learning.

Representatives from Pine Valley, Salamanca, West Valley, Springville, Cattaraugus/Little Valley and ECS attended the meeting, and Randolph and Gowanda schools expressed interest but were unable to attend. Another meeting will be held on Dec. 5 at 6:30 p.m. at Cattaraugus/Little Valley to continue the discussion.

The next meeting of the ECS School Board will be Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m.

Wintermantel Brothers Exhibition Opens Nov. 2

The Pee Wee team is a young team and has a bright future!

The Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) and Jamestown Community College (JCC) are proud to present, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, an exhibition featuring the works of Mikel and Dan Wintermantel, opening on Friday, Nov. 2 with a reception at the Center Gallery on JCC’s Olean Campus from 6-8 p.m.

The show will feature paintings by Mikel Wintermantel, C.M., paintings and posters by Dan Wintermantel, as well as a collection of collaborative artwork.

Anne Conroy-Baiter, executive director of the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, commented that the Wintermantel show is well deserved both for their individual talents, but also for their longstanding community

involvement.

“Both Mikel and Dan are known for giving back generously to the community, both in terms of painting donations and access to excellent graphic design,” said Conroy-Baiter.

The Wintermantel family has made a lasting impression on this region’s creative economy

through their contributions to graphic design, fine art and community involvement.

Copley Master Mikel Wintermantel studied at the Rhode Island School of Design and locally with Cole Young.

He is renowned for his luminous landscapes, which are shown and collected internationally.

Dan Wintermantel’s intensely creative graphic illustrations have been published in national magazines, have received several ADDY awards, and are collected and revered as the pinnacle of what digital art can be.

The show’s reception is free and open to the public, and will feature hors d’oeuvres and happy hour refreshments. The exhibition will be open until Dec. 13. For more information, please call (716) 372-7455 or visit www.myartscouncil.net.
