‘Adventure Bound’ Opening Oct. 10 Ellic o t t ville Times S taff
Ellicottville native John Rounds, owner of SUPonthefly, an online specialty retail outfitter of outdoor, paddle sport and fishing gear, is opening ‘Adventure Bound’ in the location of his parents’ former store of the same name in Ellicottville, thus continuing a story that started half a century ago. The store at 16 Washington Street is scheduled to open October 10, during Ellicottville’s Fall Festival. Rounds is the son of Chris and Heidi Rounds, who moved to Ellicottville more than 50 years ago to manage the Holiday Valley Ski Resort and direct its ski school. In 1971, the Rounds’ started summer camps for kids offering backpacking, river trips and cycling trips in the U.S. and Europe.
ECS Board Gets for Back to School

With the unmistakable scent of fall in the air, folks around these parts know that in just about two weeks, a normally quiet farm on Sugartown Rd. in nearby Great Valley magically becomes a six-week long celebration of the pumpkin and everything else that ripens in autumn. Pumpkinville is a one-of-a-kind destination for the entire family. Owners Dan and Diane Pawlowski work yearround planning and preparing for this annual festival. And everything – from the pumpkins to the games to the mouthwatering treats – comes directly from the family’s instinctive understanding of what it means to have fun.
Tuesday, Aug. 25. In fact, 46 of the 52 members of the class of 2016 gathered at school the same evening for the annual senior ice cream social hosted by Principal Bob Miller and students were visibly excited about the new space and selecting their new lockers.

Adventure Bound Continued from front page
John Rounds will open Adventure Bound onthefly in Ellicottville Oct. 10.
In conjunction with the camps, they opened a retail store that quickly evolved from products for camping, hiking and ski touring to a complete outdoor winter sports shop with apparel and accessories for men, women and children. Over its 20 year history, Adventure Bound became a well-known landmark on Ellicottville’s main drag. John Rounds’ early days with Adventure Bound fueled his love for skiing. He ventured to Vail, Colorado at age 13 to attend Vail Mountain School and became a member of Ski Club Vail. At the age of 20, he
Norman Isler
became the youngest ski rep in Solomon’s history. Rounds spent nearly a decade working as a manufacturer’s representative for dozens of market-leading outdoor/ski brands before being hired by Camelback as its National Sales Manager. He continued to work in global sales development for manufacturers in the outdoor/ ski industry and later became a master distributor for helmet cameras in a region that spanned Argentina to Alaska. He also served as CEO of a U.S. subsidiary of a Londonbased action-camera company, setting up its customer service center, online sales strategy and sub-distributors throughout the Americas. Now, nearly 25 years after Adventure Bound closed its doors, Rounds is opening a second generation Adventure Bound in the original location. To begin the venture, the shop’s emphasis will be on Stand Up Paddle boards and accessories, travel and outdoor gear and y ďŹ shing equipment. Rounds, his wife Christy and
their three children will split their time between Eagle, CO and Ellicottville. Rounds says he and Christy are looking forward to “offering some of the same services that made Adventure Bound famous, including quality merchandise, personalized service and in-depth product knowledge of the gear they offer.â€?

prepared to see a lot of new faces this year as four new full-time teachers, seven or eight teacher aides, several substitutes for teachers on maternity leave, a new teaching assistant and a number of new maintenance and cleaning employees have been hired. A ribbon cutting for the new space has been scheduled for Sunday, September 20 at 2 p.m. The entire community is invited to attend the formal opening ceremony, which will be held in the new gym. Band and chorus members will perform and tours will be offered. Ward reported that enrollment for 2015-16 is up three percent to 621 students this year. The increase of about 20 students includes new students moving into the district as well as out-ofdistrict enrollees. There are also two exchange students from Germany who will be studying at ECS all year. ELA and Math Test Results Ward said he had received an unsigned letter from a district
resident congratulating the school on its excellent Common Core English language arts and math test results. The author cited information reported by Buffalo Business First, which ranked all public and private schools and districts in Western New York (Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming counties), using four years of raw data supplied by the New York State Education Department. Schools were not ranked if they did not participate in the statewide testing program or had not generated two years of test data. ECS has showed gains in almost every academic ranking category since last year and ranked #1 for the third year in a row for teacher experience. Compared to the entire state, Ward said grades 3-6 performed far above average by all measures; grades 7-8 exceeded or came close to the state average except in 8th grade math, where results
came in several points below average. Statewide, grade 7-8 test scores have been low, indicating some challenges for middle school teachers everywhere. At ECS, the grade 7-8 results provide the school with important data that will be used throughout the year to guide teachers and administrators on ways to improve the teaching and learning experience. “This will be Bob’s [Principal Miller’s] main focus this year,” Ward said, and the board may be asked to authorize additional funding to support academic intervention services and, perhaps, additional teacher aides for these grades. The Buffalo Business First report can be found at www. bizjournals.com/buffalo. The next meeting of the ECS Board of Education will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library. All are welcome.

The Ellicottville ParentTeacher Organization is preparing to kick off the 20152016 school year with its first meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 4 p.m. in the Elementary Art Room. The ECS PTO provides family friendly, low-cost events for the members of ECS community. They also donate books to the school libraries as well as school supplies to the ECS faculty and staff. PTO Secretary Caitlin Keller reported that the PTO has already purchased supplies for the classrooms. “Everyone who participated had a blast shopping for the kids and teachers,” she said. The mission of the PTO is to promote open lines of communication and understanding between parents and staff of the Ellicottville Central School District. Their efforts serve to enhance the education of every student while helping them achieve their highest potential. Their most notable annual functions are the Family Fun Night, Dime Night, Field Day and the Scholastic Book Fairs. This year’s Fall Book Fair will
be held Wednesday, September 23 and Thursday, September 24 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Elementary Multi-Purpose Room. That Thursday, the Book Fair will also be open during Open House. ECS PTO also encourages parents to participate in the Box Tops for Education program (www.boxtops4education. com). Community members can drop Box Tops off at TOPS Market in Ellicottville or the U.S. Post Office in Great Valley. Several times a year, the PTO sends in the Box Tops (each is worth 10 cents), which allows them to purchase books and crafts for Family Fun Night, along with prizes and gifts for the Dime Carnival, Field Day and Graduation. Elementary students are asked to bring in Box Tops they collected over the summer. The classroom that collects the most by September 8 will earn a muffin/donut party. The first Box Tops mail-in day is November 1, so start collecting those Box Tops now! In addition to the PTO Box Tops, Keller says that “Ms. Adams in the Elementary Office collects Labels for
Education that allows us to purchase computer software and other items for Art, Physical Education and the Library.” Also collected by Ms. Adams are “Tabs for Tots” for St. Jude’s Research Hospital. Last year, the students at ECS won a visit from the Big Pig on their Field Day. Volunteers for these great functions are always needed. “It is important for parents to get involved in order to keep the great events that the PTO sponsors going. For years the students at ECS have shown that they truly love and enjoy the events the PTO sponsors. I believe that it is important, as a teacher, to be involved in the PTO so that these events can continue to take place.” Keller says. If you want to get involved this year, please contact Diana Olson, PTO President, at (716) 378-6698 or look for the flyer that will be sent home with the students before each event. Keep a look out for these great community events and remember, even if you don’t have a student at ECS there are always ways to help!
GV Auxiliary Backpacks Fill a Need
By Colleen Mahoney
For the second time in as many years, the Great Valley Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary donated backpacks filled with school supplies for children in the Ellicottville Central School District. Changing up the plan from last year, the organization approached the district to get a list of school supplies the students needed, then filled 10 backpacks with those supplies. Ladies Auxiliary President Toni Evans explained that each stuffed backpack was then given to the elementary school where they will be distributed to the students who need them. “We knew that kids had needs in the school district, and most of us have kids that went through the school,” Evans said. “So we just decided to do
something about it.” Although Evans said she didn’t think the list given by the school was grade-specific, she said all the supplies donated will help to keep the students organized during class. And while it will help the students, members of the Auxiliary were excited to give back. “The Auxiliary is experiencing a resurgence … this was all taken out of our funds,” Evans said. “It’s great to be in a position to donate the backpacks and supplies. It’s something we wanted to do, but lacked funds and membership.” Over the past few years, the Ladies Auxiliary has grown from six to 15 members, according to Evans. She credits the firefighters offering the sale of tee shirts at the annual Great
Valley Regatta to the Auxiliary as part of the increase. With the upped membership, the Auxiliary is in a better position to help out the surrounding community. “We’re always eager to do community service,” Evans said. In addition to the backpacks, the Ladies Auxiliary also donates to Ellicottville Central School’s Project Christmas, as well as the Great Valley Summer Youth Program. “We’re always on the lookout for things to do and help the community,” Evans said. Anyone who has an idea for community service projects for the Auxiliary or who would like to become a member can contact Evans at (716) 3015563.
Comedian Joy Behar to Perform at NCC October 10 The National Comedy Center has announced that comedian Joy Behar will perform on Saturday, October 10 at 8 p.m. during the third annual Lucy Town Half Marathon & 5K race weekend. The performance will take place at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts. “Joy Behar’s been doing standup since well before ‘The View’, and it shows,” said Journey Gunderson, Executive Director of the National Comedy Center and Lucy Desi Museum. “I’ve seen her live in New York and I’m excited to bring her stand-up to Jamestown. She’s very funny and she’s one-of-a-kind. Plus, we have a thing about funny redheads here in Jamestown.” Behar, who made her living as a stand-up for 15 years before moving to television, is a comedic original and a leading woman both on stage and
screen. She received an Emmy award for her performance on The View, where she was a member of the cast for sixteen years. She also hosted her own talk shows, “The Joy Behar Show” on HLN and “Say Anything” on Current TV and was a frequent substitute host on “Larry King Live.” Armed with an MA in English education from SUNY at Stony Brook,. Behar originally began a career in teaching. She then set out to pursue comedy professionally and immediately received bookings from such famous New York clubs as Caroline’s and Catch a Rising Star. She went on to win three MAC Awards and a CableACE Award. She has starred in her own HBO specials “One Night Stand” and “Women of the Night.” Tickets are on sale now at www. NationalComedyCenter.org.

Pumpkinville Continued from front page
Pelleve Treatment Before & After
While in festival-mode from September 12 through October 31, 25 acres are turned into a combination fairground/farm market/feasting venue for kids and grown-ups of all ages. There are dozens of free games and activities, including a Singing Chicken Show, Perky the Talking Pumpkin, Farm Animals, Corn TeePee, Storyland, Kiddie Spookum Barn, a Train Play Area and more. There’s also a brand new feature this year: “Punchin’ Pumpkins Race.” This creative race involves navigating through a maze, stopping at four spots to punch a pumpkin and then racing for the finish line. The race is timed, and you can compete with friends, family or vie for your own personal best. With the purchase of an activity wristband ($11 Mon.Thurs.; $12.50 Fri.-Sat.), you can also spend as long as you want on the Pumpkin Jumpin’ Pillows, driving Farm Pedal Carts, taking a country hayride, riding on the Cow Train or getting lost in a six-acre Mix 96 Corn Maze that, from above, looks like a carving of the Mix 96 radio station’s logo (see photo, page x). Individual activities are $3.75 ea. On weekends only (and weather permitting), you can also take a helicopter ride to get the bird’s eye view of the area’s gorgeous fall colors (add’l fee). Of course, as the name might suggest, the place has a vast array of pumpkins – from mini to enormous – to take home for cooking and carving, or you can pick your own. There’s a bountiful produce barn with
a huge selection of apples, squashes and other veggies, plus Indian corn and gourds for seasonal decorating. Crafts and gift shops feature homemade fudge and caramel, pumpkin, almond and peanut butters and maple products from Moore’s Maple. And then there’s food – a mouthwatering array of all of delicious, tummy-tempting favorites that will draw you back for more throughout the season. Head on over to the picnic tables, mark your spot, and then grab a delicious lunch, dinner or a snack from the Pumpkinville Grill, where you’ll find hot dogs, chili, sausage, beef on Weck, pumpkin soup, kettle corn, curly fries and more. There’s also a Chicken BBQ on weekends. But save room for dessert, because you won’t be able to
resist. There are freshly baked pumpkin doughnuts and pumpkin pies. There’s homemade pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soup and pumpkin fudge. There are apple choices galore, too, from apple slices drizzled with homemade caramel sauce to apple pies and freshly pressed cider. There’s something for everyone at Pumpkinville. Make sure to visit any day, rain or shine, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. between September 12 and October 31. Visit www. pumpkinville.com. Job seekers: Pumpkinville is hiring for the season.

despite the fact that they are self-described fiddle players. Sedelmyer (who also appears as part of the current Jerry Douglas Band ) and Baiman met in Nashville, and realized a mutual love for the range and depth of the 5-String fiddle. Their desire to see just how far a two-fiddle, twovocals instrumentation could take them was the inspiration for the 10 String Symphony project. By the time their first full-length album was released in November 2012, their instrumentation had expanded to include the occasional clawhammer banjo and resonator mandolin, though still maintaining a stripped down, tightly woven and carefully arranged duo sound. Decidedly contemporary in their musical approach, their debut album showcases

The Nashville music scene is a famous home for worldclass side musicians, as well as a plethora of legendary songwriters. Now it presents us with a duo that combines the best of both worlds -skilled instrumentalists with an incredible amount of soul and a love of great songs. 10 String Symphony is an arena for mesmerizing acoustic innovation. Although difficult to categorize, their music is instantly recognizable as a blend of two distinct but equally vivacious musical voices, encompassing “aggressive, almost discordant, celtic and, dare I say, punky stringchording experimentations” (The Bluegrass Situation). Vocally, Rachel Baiman and Christian Sedelmyer lock in seamlessly, and their vocal duets often take center stage

Visit Randolph This Sept.
By Mary Heyl
Crisp days and cool nights mean fall is on its way! Why not enjoy a beautiful drive to the historic village of Randolph, just twenty minutes south of Ellicottville? Whether you’re looking to attend a fun event on the weekend or enjoy an autumn Amish Trail tour, there are lots of reasons to visit Randolph this September! On Saturday, Sept. 5, one of Randolph’s most notable historic structures is hosting the Toymakers of Randolph’s Open House from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Located at 26 Center Street, Borden’s Condensery (of the Borden dairy brand) was Randolph’s largest factory in the 1800s and is still beautifully intact. Its golden bricks are home to Rand Machine, the company that now owns the building, as well as several other companies that lease space there, including Radiantly You and the workshop of the Toymakers of Randolph. Toymakers of Randolph, a non-profit organization, generously donates toys to organizations representing children in need and welcomes volunteers of all skill levels to join their organization. Toymakers of Randolph invites guests to tour the facility and see firsthand how their wooden toys are made using new machinery courtesy of Rand Machine and Cummins. Visitors can also enjoy the Babe Ruth memorabilia that will be on display, which includes a Babe Ruth Pace Arrow Car. The event will feature a Quilt Show and sale to benefit the Toymakers of Randolph. For more information, contact Dick Hall at (716) 358-0026. Of course, September also means back to class, but not just at school! The Randolph Area Community Development Corporation announces the 2nd Annual Class Kick-Off on Saturday, Sept. 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors can find out about a variety of classes being offered in Randolph this fall -- the perfect time to learn something new! Grab a class guide at one of the shops downtown, like Countryside Wine & Spirits, Randolph Retail Company or Yarn for Ewe, and take a stroll down Main and Jamestown Streets. Meet the knitting and crochet instructors at Yarn for Ewe, or sign up for painting

classes and workshops with Creating Keepsakes at Randolph Retail Company. There are all kinds of classes to take: origami, dance, quilting, karate, yoga, fly-tying and more.

If a busy summer has kept you from exploring New York’s Amish Trail, there’s still time to experience this simple, non-commercialized community. The Amish community of Cattaraugus County is one of the few “Old Order” Amish settlements in the United States that foregoes automobiles, electricity and other modern conveniences in favor of a simple lifestyle devoted to faith and their families. Most visitors enjoy shopping for high-quality, handmade Amish goods, which are available throughout the Amish Trail. Amish businesses are operated right on the family’s property and sell such
goods as furniture, ironwork, leatherwork, toys, quilts, rugs, baskets and more. Most Amish shops are open on Fridays and Saturdays, but visitors should note that all businesses are closed on Sunday. It’s easy to explore the Amish Trail this fall! Visitors can visit the Randolph Municipal Building’s Welcome Center, which is open 24 hours a day, at 72 Main Street. There, New York’s Amish Trail maps are available for motorists to take a self-guided tour throughout the Amish community. A listing of Amish businesses is included in the guide, so whether one is primarily interested in quilts or furniture, the guide will point the way! Unfamiliar with Cattaraugus County? Take advantage of an Amish Trail tour, where an experienced local guide accompanies you in your vehicle; tour guides can even tailor the tour to suit visitors’ interests and time constraints. To schedule a tour, contact the Randolph Area Development Corporation at (716) 358-9701 ext. 208 or New York’s Amish Trail at 1-800-331-0543.

Free Haircuts for Back-to-School
Wouldn’t it be nice if every child could go back to school sporting a fresh, new haircut, a new backpack and maybe a new outfit? For many families, that’s just not financially possible. But a group of hairstylists from around the area have gotten together to offer kids one part of that equation: a free backto-school haircut. [Other groups are taking care of new backpacks – see Great Valley Auxiliary story, page 4.] On Tuesday, Sept. 1, families can stop by the Little Valley Municipal Building from 5:30-7 p.m., where a team of licensed stylists will be on hand to handle as many kids as they can. The effort is the brainchild of stylist Andrea Pincoski, who lives in Napoli and works at a salon in Jamestown. “I got to thinking about how expensive haircuts for three or four kids could be for a family on a limited budget,” she said. “If I didn’t know how to cut hair, I don’t know if I could afford it for my own kids.” So last year, she talked to some stylist friends she’d met through various training events and hair shows, arranged for the donated space, and invited people to bring their kids. Kids from any school and any area are welcomed.
“Five stylists took care of 22 kids last year,” she said. This year, Pincoski is hoping to have seven stylists on site. To date, she and four others are confirmed: Chantel Rublee, who works out of her home in Mansfield; Jessica Bird-Eaton, who runs a salon in Great Valley and lives in Allegany; Tina Hice, a licensed stylist involved in youth ministry in Little Valley; and Kim Burrows, a stylist from Frewsburg. The program has been such an inspiration for Pincoski’s family that her mother,
grandmother and aunt are all baking cookies for participants this year. “Salon trade magazines are always featuring people doing something good for their communities,” Pincoski said. “This is a small way we can give parents some relief on finances and give kids the feeling of going back to school in style.” The Little Valley Municipal Building is located at 103 Rock City Rd. next to Crosby’s in the center of town. All are welcome.

Prepping for Snow! Continued from front page
Holiday Valley
For the 2015-2016 season, Holiday Valley has reinvested $4 million in improvements. The completion of a multi-year project — the realignment of Holiday Valley Road — will make access to the Holiday Valley Lodge easier and safer. The 2/3-mile-long road is being re-routed along the top side of the three parking lots, allowing visitors to walk to the lodge without crossing a town road. Blacktop installation is scheduled for early September. The project will be completed by the beginning of the ski season. To maintain their excellent winter conditions, Holiday Valley has purchased another 37 HKD Impulse automated snow guns to service Fiddler’s Elbow and Tannenbaum slopes, allowing them to make snow earlier in the year. A new PistenBully 600 groomer has been added to the fleet and a new guest shuttle bus was purchased. Metal halide night lighting has been replaced with energyefficient LED lighting on Peppermint Lane and EZ Way to improve visibility for skiers. A few slopes will be reconfigured. “We are moving the NASTAR course off Cindy’s Run and we’re putting it on Foxfire,” said HV Marketing Director Jane Eshbaugh, “so as you ski down Foxfire, the NASTAR course will be on the left — they actually widened the slope a little bit — and the terrain parks will be along the right.” The Inn at Holiday Valley has also been partially renovated. New sleeper sofas are in all of the suites; the conference area has undergone a décor redo with new carpeting; new fireplace, wall coverings and wall décor now grace the presidential suite; and bathroom redecorating is in process. Outside, the pool interior and deck have been resurfaced, a new pool boiler has been installed and new seating areas and furniture have been added. The Cabana Bar has been open all summer and will be used somewhat in the winter, even though it is partially open to the elements. It will eventually have some glass sides. Fall Festival weekend news includes some interesting entertainment. A juggler and a stilt walker will entertain the crowds as they line up to take the Mardi Gras chairlift rides. And mountain bikers will be pleased with upgrades to the mountain bike race loop. As always, you can keep up with the latest happenings at www.holidayvalley.com, but sometime in early October, the resort’s website will look completely different.

Eshbaugh explained that, “since we built the last website, people have changed their habits and are using a lot more tablets and mobile phones.” The makeover will make it easy for any user and device to navigate and will include more social media links, resort videos, web cams, an interactive trail map and more.
HoliMont
HoliMont has spent $700,000 in enhancements to continue providing its members with exceptional amenities and services. Dash Hegeman, marketing director at HoliMont, said, “Members and guests will be pleased to see an updated Dina’s at the Mont cafeteria area, which we hope will allow for a better flow of traffic and more efficiency during peak times.” Parts of the chalet’s exterior have been resided and a few new windows have been installed in the main office. “A half a dozen small changes to bathrooms and to various table setups have been made to increase seating capacity, as well,” said Hegeman. A new roof was installed on the terrain park building and the ski patrol hut at the top of Exhibition lift is in the process of being completely refurbished. The resort’s PistenBully 100 was replaced with a Green Tech 300 ParkBully, which can also be used to mow the slopes in the summer. Speaking of the slopes, Hegeman said, “We’ve added more firepower to certain slopes with our snowmaking system so that we can get those slopes open sooner. We are also starting to get our new beginner area cleared and graded in preparation for
constructing a new beginner area next summer.” Greer lift is being spruced up with a new paint job to look more like the Exhibition Express lift. Also, the top and bottom lift houses are being refurbished. With an eye on safety, the lifts are being rebuilt and fine-tuned to make sure they meet code. “The staff here has been working all summer to prepare for the upcoming ski season and we’re all looking forward to what we hope will be a strong start to winter,” said Hegeman. “Our goal is to put a product out there that our members, their guests, our Weekday Experience pass holders, groups and regular weekday traffic will enjoy every time they are out on the slopes.” WestMont Ridge The WestMont Ridge development’s infrastructure, including gas, water and sewer, is now in place. To date, 20 single-family lots have been sold, with 11 remaining for sale. Construction of the first private home is well underway. Hegeman said, “At this point, our focus is to get the new beginner area going and our planned condominium community to market. We anticipate having the 72 condos available for sale this winter with groundbreaking next spring.” A new lodge, terrain park, beginner ski area, Nordic Center, lift and lights for nighttime on the slopes are all part of the master plan but hinge on a variety of factors including lot and condominium sales. Hegeman said that the resort’s plan also calls for replacement of the Sunset chair with a high-speed detachable lift and construction of a new lodge.

August 28 - September 3, 2015
We all know that daily exercise is invaluable to keeping our bodies strong and functional. The old saying, “If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it,” turns out to be completely true. You may not feel this way in your youth but as you age, the less you do physically will play a detrimental role in how you age. This being said, starting an exercise program can be challenging. Making the time to exercise, creating a balanced routine, and setting goals are hard enough, but add to that the muscle soreness that comes with adapting to that regimen and it may be difficult to stay on track. After participating in some kind of strenuous physical activity, particularly something new to your body, it is common to experience muscle soreness, experts say. “Muscles go through quite a bit of physical stress when we exercise,” says Rick Sharp, professor of exercise physiology at Iowa State University in Ames. “Mild soreness is just a natural outcome of any kind of physical activity,” he says. “And they’re most prevalent in beginning stages of a program.” Exercise physiologists refer to the gradually increasing discomfort that occurs between 24 and 48 hours after activity as “delayed onset muscle soreness” (DOMS), and it is perfectly normal. “DOMS is a common result of physical activity that stresses the muscle tissue beyond what it is accustomed
to,” says David O. Draper, professor and director of the graduate program in sports medicine/athletic training at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. To be more specific, says Draper, who’s also a member of the heat-responsive pain council; DOMS occurs when the muscle is performing an eccentric or a lengthening contraction. Examples of this would be running downhill or the lengthening portion of a bicep curl. “Small microscopic tears occur in the muscle,” he says. “The aches and pains should be minor,” says Carol Torgan, an exercise physiologist and fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, “and are simply indications that muscles are adapting to your fitness regimen.” No one is immune to muscle soreness. Exercise fanatics and body builders alike experience delayed onset muscle soreness. But for the deconditioned person starting out, this can be intimidating. People starting an exercise program need guidance, Torgan says. “To them they might feel very sore, and because they aren’t familiar with it, they might worry that they’ve hurt themselves. Then they won’t want to do it again.” Letting them know it’s OK to be sore may help them work through that first few days without being discouraged. So what can you do to alleviate the pain? “Exercise physiologists and athletic trainers have not yet discovered a panacea for DOMS,” says Draper, “however, several remedies such as ice, rest, antiinflammatory meds, massages and stretching after your workout have been reported as helpful in the process of recovery. “People don’t stretch enough,” he says. “Stretching helps break the cycle,” which goes from soreness to muscle spasm to contraction and tightness. Take it easy for a few days while your body adapts, says
Torgan. Or try some light exercise such as walking or swimming, she suggests. Keeping the muscle in motion can also provide some relief. It’s also a process of muscle conditioning. Torgan says DOMS can have a “repeated bouts” effect. “If someone does an activity, they will be inoculated for a few weeks to a few months -- the next time they do the activity, there will be less muscle tissue damage, less soreness and a faster strength recovery.” This is why athletes often crosstrain and vary their routines to continue to challenge and develop their muscle strength. It is important to distinguish the difference between moderate muscle soreness induced by exercise and muscle overuse or injury. “If soreness prevents you from performing daily activities associated with living and work, then that is too much soreness,” Draper says. “It can psychologically deter someone from continuing a workout program.” However, moderate muscle pain might go a long way to keeping someone on the path to fitness. I personally feel I have pushed myself the hardest when I feel soreness after a workout. Not that feeling no soreness means I have done nothing worthwhile for my body. Your goal should always be to train hard enough to stimulate gains in your fitness level and then to back off and let your body adapt to the gains. Remember~ Where there is no struggle, there is no strength. You will NEVER REGRET WORKING HARD! “Soreness can serve as encouragement in a workout program because people like immediate results. Muscle doesn’t visibly [grow] overnight, nor does your time in the mile drop from eight to six minutes,” says Draper. “So something like soreness can give people encouragement that they are in fact working the muscle.”
Bird-Focused Habitat Management Workshop on September 26 Allegany region forest landowners are invited to register for a free wildlife habitat workshop on Saturday, September 26th, 2015. It will take place at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) office at Little Valley Maintenance Center, 5191 Route 353 Little Valley, NY 14755. Participants will learn about bird and wildlife-friendly management techniques for their property that benefit young and mature forest birds, such as American Woodcock, Cerulean Warblers, and Wood Thrushes. This workshop brings landowners together with experts on wildlife and forest management. Participating landowners will hear from a series of presenters about wildlife they can attract and sustain through proper habitat management, and where they can find resources, tools and potential partners to help them plan for managing habitat to benefit wildlife on their property. Presentations will be made by Audubon New York, NYS DEC, Jamestown Audubon, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The presentations will be followed by lunch and visits
Photo by Jeff Nadler to forests that have been actively managed to improve habitat and forest health. This will allow participants to see quality young and mature forest habitat and learn about restoring habitat to meet the needs of declining bird species dependent on these habitat types. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars to view birds while visiting these sites. Please register by Monday, September 21 by emailing Suzanne Treyger at streyger@ audubon.org or call (607) 2542122. Arrive at 8:30 a.m. for registration and refreshments. The workshop is from 9 – 11:30 a.m., followed by lunch and a field trip to view forest habitat from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Free refreshments and lunch will be provided.

From Hardly i alien invasions, to walking trees, to winged beasts in the woods, to dinosaurs spotted in the village of Three Pines, his tales are so extraordinary no one can possibly belie him. Including Armand and Reine-Marie Gamache, who now live in the believe little Quebec village. Bu when the boy disappears, the villagers are faced with the possibility that one But h tall tales might have been true. of his A so begins a frantic search for the boy and the truth. What they uncover deep And t forest sets off a sequence of events that leads to murder, an old crime, an old in the bet betrayal and eventually to the door of an old poet. And now it is now, writes Ruth Zardo, and the dark thing is here. A monster once visited Three Pines and put down deep roots and now, Ruth knows, it is back. Armand Gamache, the former head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec, must face the possibility that, in not believing the boy, he himself played a terrible part in what happens next.
