Patriots’ Day is Sept. 11 By Mary Fox

Remembrance and Understanding We all remember certain dates – whether good, bad, happy or sad – that mark an event important to our family and friends, our town, state and country. Sept. 11, 2001, is one of those dates we will never forget. We in Ellicottville, like citizens of towns and cities all around the country, remember where we were on that day when they heard the news of the attacks on the buildings of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the heroic sacrifice of people on a plane that crashed in a Pennsylvania field. The memory of that horrific day must not be forgotten. The bombings of Sept. 11, 2001, are officially revisited each Sept. 11 as a day of remembrance. On November 30, 2001, a resolution was signed by President George Bush to make Sept. 11 Patriot’s Day in memory of the 2,977 killed in the 2001 terrorists attacks. The president of the United States requested that on Sept. 11 the American flag be flown at half-staff at individual homes, at the White House and at all government buildings and schools in this country and abroad. The president also requests Americans to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center that day. It is not too much to ask of us to offer our prayers of remembrance and hope for world understanding. It’s not the horror, but the reason for it that we must remember and what it means to our town, our country and the world.

Ellicottville’s Rock N’ Roll Weekend and Classic Car Show

By Susan Whistler

Summer is winding down, fall is in the air and soon the unforgettable sounds of classic rock n’ roll will be spilling out onto the streets of Ellicottville. Since it first began in 1995, the Ellicottville Rock ‘n Roll Weekend (formerly Rockin’ Oldies Weekend) has been taking visitors for a nostalgic walk down the backstreets and alleys of an iconic musical and automotive era by showcasing the classic Photo by Eric Demme

rock music and wheels of the ‘50s and ‘60s. Sherman Wilkens, entertainment columnist for the Ellicottville Times, said that “the Classic Car Show coupled with the wonderful music makes EVL’s Rock N’ Roll Weekend the best and most positive festival of the year.” The shindig and live music begin Friday evening, Sept. 14, 2012, and won’t end until late Sunday afternoon. Every

restaurant and bar in the village has booked their own special weekend lineup of terrific bands. In addition to all the great live entertainment, visitors will get to check out over 200 vintage convertibles, hotrods, trucks and sports cars that will be lining the main drags of Ellicottville for the 14th annual Classic Car Show, making it one of the largest and best in Western New York. If you just can’t get enough chrome, tailfins and duel exhausts then this is the place for you. Mark your calendars. The car show starts Sunday, Sept. 16 at 11 a.m. and goes until 5 p.m., with judging and awards for the best in each class. What could be better than spending a beautiful late summer day strolling around our scenic village while enjoying great See Rock N’ Roll Page 8

Pumpkinville Opens Sept. 15 Animatronic Chickens, Pumpkins, Cider, Corn Cannon, Hay Rides and More BY JEFF COLE

The conclusion of summer means the beginning of fall. And the beginning of fall means the return of football season, apple cider, multi-colored leaves and the popular premier pumpkin-picking place known to many visitors far and wide, young and old: Pumpkinville. This year, Pumpkinville, which is one of Cattaraugus County’s largest attractions and is located at 4844 Sugartown Rd. in Great Valley, will open up its pumpkin patches to the public from Sept. 15 through Oct. 31, from 9 a.m.–7 p.m. every day. Admission is free. New to Pumpkinville this year is the Hen House Five Review, described in a press release as a “friendly flock of animatronic chickens” that will “entertain you with their singing and even tell some jokes.” The attraction also added a kettle corn operation, a number of new displays and upgraded the corn maze and hay rides. Returning favorites are the annual hayrides that travel around the farm and into the woods, the six-acre corn maze, the Cow Train, helicopter rides on weekends in October, the Corn Cannon, pony rides, Goat Mountain and Storyland. Some of these attractions have a minimal fee. Of course, other common staples of Pumpkinville are pumpkins and a wide See Pumpkinville Opens Page 8

It’s Back to School for ECS By Mary Fox The kids are back to school and they, as well as parents and teachers, are excited about it. In chatting with teachers and students, it became obvious that friends are an important part of school life. Jalee Evans, who is going into fourth grade, said she is pretty excited, “because my summer was pretty boring. Sophia Roblee is in Mrs. McMillen’s 1st grade class. I’m excited to see my friends.” She said, “I can’t wait,” Students from pre-K, and is looking forward to elementary, middle school reading “and everything and high school went to else.” their new classrooms on Wednesday to begin another year of school – 640 kids ages 5-17. Expectations are high for kindergarteners who want to learn to read, even though “there will be a lot of homework,” said 5-year-old Katie Bless who will be in Mrs. Simpson’s class. Katie Bless is in Mrs. “Best of all,” she said, Simpson’s kindergarten “besides learning to read, we class and looks forward to will eat in the cafeteria.” going to school. “There will New York State Education be a lot of homework,” she requirements are changing said, but they will draw, she and it’s an ongoing will make new friends and, challenge to teachers in best of all, they will read grades K-8 to help their and eat in the cafeteria. students meet them. The new state requirements are changing the way teaching is approached. Language arts, math, science and social studies are intertwined and taught as a whole instead of each subject being studied separately.

Elizabeth Wellman said she is “excited to get back into a schedule again and see my friends.” Wellman is a junior this year and, like all juniors, faces making decisions for her future. This year, juniors they will begin looking at possible colleges that offer their academic choices. Those who play sports can find themselves in a juggling act, balancing sports with academics. Seniors will be working closely with the guidance department to apply to colleges of their choice and to find and apply for scholarships that will fit their goals. Contrary to common opinion, there are hundreds of scholarships available in all subjects and degrees of academic achievement, if one takes the time to dig deep enough and use all the available resources to find them. The new school year brings students a clean slate, a new chance to meet their goals and excel at what they do best, a new opportunity to take advantage of what the school has to offer and what the teachers have to give.

Since we have had no taste of foul fall weather, the really good golf weather is in total control. Therefore, let’s take advantage of our extended summer by getting out and enjoying the really great & FUN golf times available at both Holiday Valley’s Double Black Diamond Course and Elkdale Country Club. Make a call to either location, set up a tee time, then get out ENJOY the wonderful late summer and fall golf experience both clubs offer.

Like we do most weeks, here are a few suggestions for FUN that doesn’t include music. First, The Depot will continue with their summer hours, which are Thursday through Saturday. Yes, their pizza and wing specials will be there. So as Moose says, “If Food, Liquor, & Laughter are what you are after, The Ellicottville Depot is your place”. Just to the east of our village we have The Birdwalk Restaurant & Antique Shop. Here you will find great gourmet pizza specials along with a fine dinning menu that will have you returning for sure. Their lamb chops are the best. Tips Up Cafe is a wonderful restaurant located on Washington Street. Beside an excellent and well prepared fine dinning menu you will get to experience, what we call, Ellicottville’s local home town service with a Tips Up Cafe Smile. 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. One more item before we get rolling, The PUB in Great Valley will again be offering any and all visitors their wonderful, reasonably priced food and beverages plus their local, friendly & FUN GOOD PUB TIMES. Our music kicks off at 7:00 PM Friday in Balloons with “The Stevie Project” in house. Joseph Michael Mahfoud, who is “The Stevie

Project”, does a really fine tribute show celebrating the music of “Stevie Ray Vaughan”. Besides the excellent cover tunes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Mr. Mahfoud will do several more tunes that are referred to as “Smokin Blues”. Therefore, if The Blues are high on your list of FUN things, Balloons will be the place to be this Friday. Following “The Stevie Project”, “Personable DJ John Barry” will take over with his very friendly, LIVE, “Personality Show Off Show” from Balloons Sound & Light Booth. As always, John’s LIVE Show will include a neat danceable selection of tunes, plus interesting and FUN conversation till close.

They serve their excellent, reasonably priced, menu till midnight on weekends. Moving to Saturday the music begins at 4:00 PM in Kabobs Kafe with “Bruce Dominessy” doing his “Me, Myself & I” solo acoustic jazzy gig. Like we said last week, this is an easy listening and a very neat way to kick off your Saturday evening. Just stop in Kabob’s Kafe, enjoy the music with a cocktail and a great Kabob’s Kafe Dinner. Then at 6:00 PM Saturday “Critt’s Juke Joint” will begin Balloons Saturday FUN Music Party. Eric Crittenden, a well-known, multitalented, Buffalo musician, is the leader of this five piece alternative, funk to jazz band. Their music, according to their web site, is a unique blend of alternative, funk to jazz. They plan to lay down plenty of funky soul groves & jams as tasty and varied as Balloons Wonderful Menu. Following “Critt’s Juke Joint” “DJ Flakey Frank Watson”, “Ellicottville’s Original Party Monster” will be in Balloons Sound & Light Booth. Again this week his pass from “The Disoriented DJ Home” will be in place, allowing him to display his innovative plan of party continuation along with trend setting chit-chat and FUN tune selection till close.

Public Walk-Through Scheduled Thursday, Sept. 13

Parents and district residents are invited to join the ECS Board of Education for a walkthrough of the facilities of the Ellicottville Central School District on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. (note this is a correction to the day mentioned in the ECS newsletter). Participants will view firsthand some of the areas that the district may target for improvements. Discussions will center on the parts of the building dating back to 1962, as well as some concerns in the elementary wing that opened in 1988. As published in the September 2012 ECS District Newsletter, Superintendent Mark Ward said, “The Board of Education and administration have been reviewing the District Building Condition Survey that was filed with the state last year in an effort to

identify areas of need. When the district developed their Strategic Plan in 2009, one of the recommendations from the process was modernization and improvement to the district’s facilities.� Facility upgrades, maintenance and educational improvements can be made with 60 percent voter approval. The current ECS building opened in 1961. The first class to graduate from there was the Class of 1962, which celebrated its 50th reunion this summer at the annual Ellicottville Alumni Celebration. When the building opened, it consolidated scattered sites throughout the community that were used as classrooms like the Murphy House, Signore Building, Old Barn in Maybee Alley, Town Hall, Historical Building, Old Post Office, Waldo House, Milk House and

McCadden’s Restaurant. “Like any facility that is over 50 years old, there are going to be a number of items that need upgrades based on the changes in education, program needs, safety and health issues, ever changing technology, state mandates and the ‘functionality’ of areas within the building. It is important to make sure that we maintain the community’s investment in our school and provide our students with a facility that will meet the challenges of 21st century learning,� Ward stated in the newsletter. Ward stated he and the board are ready to begin a public dialogue to address the concerns outlined in the report, as well as considering upgrades that will support future learning to prepare students for the most successful outcomes after graduation.

“While the district could continue to use district reserves to address upgrades and improvements, these come at 100 percent cost to the taxpayers. Developing a targeted project approved by the voters will allow us to access state funding, which is estimated to result in a 65 percent return. In other words, for every dollar we spend, the state will reimburse us for 65 cents. Fiscally, this is a much better way to approach school improvements than literally ‘going alone.’� The public is invited to attend a short board meeting after the walk-through during which it will review report highlights, the group’s observations and experiences with the present facilities.

Little Valley Lions Club Annual David Campbell Run/Walk The Little Valley Lions Club annual David Campbell 5K Run/Walk will be held on Sun., Sept 23 at the Little Valley American Legion on Route 353 at 10 a.m. Registration will begin at 9 a.m. The donation fee for the event is $20 per participant and $15 for ages under 17. Snacks, beverages and hats will be available for participants. In addition, there will be gift

certificates for to the Ross the winners in Eye Institute categories this in Buffalo year. and the Lion’s The fundraiser Diagnostic will benefit C e n t e r Vision Beyond there. Many Sight and also area adults help with local and children sight needs. go there for Vision Beyond help with sight Sight Foundation is set up needs. through all district Lions The institute combines Clubs to provide volunteer research, treatment and financial support and education. Lion Dr.

James D. Reynolds, chair of the University at Buffalo Department of Ophthalmology and CEO of the Ross Eye Institute, and fellow residents will participate. The club is always grateful to all sponsors, donors and participants. It is a lot of fun and you can enjoy the lovely fall colors as you run or walk along the 5K route.

‘The New Man’ Is Really... ‘The Old Woman’ The headline on a recent article I read in The New York Times declared: “The New Man, Not Afraid to Act Like a Woman.� According to this article it has become quite routine for today’s men to spend a lot of money on manicures and pedicures, facials and mud baths. The sales of men’s lotions and tonics have never been higher. These are not men I know personally, but I have seen their photos in magazines. Most guys I know take baths to remove the mud. In fact, if I ever got my hands on a photo of one of my buds having a pedicure, in order to prevent further distribution of said picture, that guy would be buying me chicken-in-thebasket at the Belmont Hotel for life. So although I don’t know men who have their nails done regularly, I do believe the statistics showing the rising numbers of these ‘new males’ in today’s society because the survey samplings are done in large metropolitan cities where men are referred to as “metrosexuals.� Before I Googled that word – it means a term derived from the words ‘metropolitan’ and ‘heterosexual’ describing a man who lives in an urban, capitalist culture and spends a lot of time and money on shopping for his appearance – I too was confused. I thought the word ‘metrosexual’ referred to a guy who got aroused at the sight of a public subway system. (This might be the reason the Toronto Transit Commission is considering dropping its

“Ride The Red Rocketâ€? logo.) “Men have become very interested in themselves as of late – their profiles and their pectorals,â€? says Mark Simpson, author of Metrosexy: A 21st Century Self-Love Story. That book, the title of which would look great on the cover of David Hasselhoff’s autobiography goes on to talk about how the new man is very much into cooking, cleaning and childminding. And that’s when it kind of crystallized for me – the ‘new man’ is actually the ‘old woman’. My question is, in order to maintain a gender balance in the cosmos of interrelationships, is the ‘new woman’ willing to drive lost, snore in public and watch TV with a cooler on the couch in order to take the place of the ‘old man’? If men are now going to wellness spas, will women start paying extra for VIP passes at Humberstone Speedway? Look, I think men in general could use a good evolutionary scrub-up. More sensitive, more thoughtful, more familyoriented – all this is good and probably way overdue. But, but ‌ bikini waxing!?! Since Bliss Spas of New York introduced men’s waxing last year, their business has doubled. That’s right; men are getting their bikini lines stripped. “It actually makes you feel more masculine,â€? said Bliss president Mike Indursky. Really! And wearing that bikini at Jones Beach during a “Bikers Against Helmetsâ€? rally? How’s that feel? I’m not against metrosexuals, I just don’t know any. Take my friend Robbie, for example. I

By William Thomas can’t convince Robbie to cut his hair or even put on long pants whenever he subs for me as host of the Canadian Author Series. So I don’t’ like my chances of getting Robbie to get his bikini line waxed if he does insist on wearing shorts. If I paid him, he might trim the beard, but that’s about it. American Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte dazzled the sports world and fashion aficionados when he appeared at the London Games wearing neon-flashing swim briefs and sparkly sneakers. When he smiled, he revealed a custommade dental grill in the form of the American flag. The dental grill has been heralded by designers and jewelers as “a tiara for men.� Once again, call me old fashion, but I didn’t watch the men’s 400-metre medley to see Ryan Lochte strut around the starting block flashing on and off like a Christmas tree. I just wanted to see him swim really fast. For me seeing Michael Phelps sucking on that marijuana bong was easier than watching Ryan Lochte impersonate a sign in Kinko’s window. A dental grill? Whatever happened to the real masculine facial adornments like nose rings, tongue studs and that big chin loop that made the guy look like he was about to be tied up in front of the saloon while his rider went in for a whiskey and a fight? Definitely the ‘old man’ could learn some valuable lessons from the ‘new man’ like caring for the kids, being more nurturing and helping with the housework.

But there’s a big difference between being more nurturing and being more nutritious. I’m looking at a newspaper photo of Trevor MacDonald, a preppy-looking ‘new man’ with short hair and wire glasses, big smile and open shirt and I’m wondering what his 16-monthold-son will think of this picture when he grows up. Because in this photo, 27-year-old Trevor MacDonald of Winnipeg is actually breastfeeding his son. Trevor, a transgender parent loves fatherhood so much he has opted to become a stay-athome dad. And that’s a good thing. But breastfeeding your son? Does a kid today really need one more reason to be teased at school? Trevor was in the news because his application to become a group leader at La Leche League Canada, a breastfeeding advocacy group was rejected. Apparently Trevor has trouble lactating. You see that’s where the issue of the new masculinity goes off the rails – when evolution of the ‘new man’s’ leap past the ‘old woman’ to become the ‘new Mom.’ I’m so damned confused I could cry, which is now perfectly acceptable.

If you’re thinking that a visit to the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford, Pa., would be about as exciting as watching the weather forecast for Death Valley, you’d be wrong. Over the past 15 years, the visitor’s center, now referred to as the Zippo/ Case Museum, has drawn thousands of visitors from all over the world, earning it the distinction of being the “Most Visited Museum” in northwestern Pennsylvania – and with good reason. On Sept. 15, 2012, Zippo will celebrate their 80th anniversary with a grand re-opening. “We will have prize drawings, free gifts to the first 80 customers and discounts. Visitors are encouraged to bring their Case knifes for free cleaning and sharpening while they wait. The Zippo Jeep created by West Coast Customs will also be on display in addition to the Watkin’s Glen Pace car and racecar simulators,” said Zippo Retail Manager Joshua Gleason. Visitors are greeted at the door by a 40-foot Zippo lighter complete with pulsating neon flame and a gigantic, three-bladed Case Canoe pocketknife that tower over the main entrance. Even the driveway leading up to the facility is lined with 14 custom-made Zippo “street-lighters.” In other words, you can’t miss it!

In May, the 500 millionth Zippo lighter was manufactured! The museum and visitors center opened in 1997 shortly after the Zippo Manufacturing Company acquired W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery. The owners wanted a special place to showcase both brands and allow visitors to learn more about these iconic American companies. It is now home to 15,000 square-feet of exhibits and interactive media kiosks as well as the Zippo/Case Store and Repair Center. In May, they manufactured the 500 millionth Zippo lighter. The retail store has recently undergone a complete renovation to give customers a completely new experience. Gleason said, “The Zippo/Case Museum is a free museum, and our retail space has just been

completely renovated. It is a very inexpensive way to spend the day, and we hope that our visitors will also stop by the Kinzua Skywalk just miles away, as well as the other attractions here in McKean County.” As the flagship, the new

Zippo will celebrate their 80th anniversary with a grand re-opening on September 15. Bradford store has the unique distinction of being the only retailer in the world to offer every product that Zippo and Case makes. “We sell the complete line of Zippo and Case products in addition to apparel, books, accessories, and gifts. We also offer engraving and customers can now upload a photo in our store and create their very own Zippo lighter,” said Gleason. “We are now selling our 500 millionth Zippo lighter replica while supplies last, and in 2013 we are launching a complete outdoor line of products, which will include a grill, camp stove, and 4-in-1 woodsman tool.” The newest exhibit to the Zippo/Case Museum is Zippo Rocks, a tribute to Zippo’s ties to rock music such as the time-honored custom of raising lighted Zippos at the end of a rock concert to solicit an encore. There are replicas of knives produced by Case for NASA in the 1960s as well as rare production models of Zippo’s first lighter, which has changed very little with the exception of improvements to the flint wheel and case finishes. Visitors will also learn about the role that Zippo played during WWII when the company’s entire production from 1943 to the end of the war was sent to our troops. Other unique exhibits include a “knifein-motion” hologram and a 7-foot by 11-foot American flag with more the 3,400 red, white and blue Zippo

lighters. That’s a lot firepower! But Zippo isn’t just for adults. “ZAC is our most ‘kidfriendly’ attraction by far. ZAC is an audio kinetic ball machine filled with lights, sounds and amazement. Both children and adults will sit and watch the balls roll, drop, and bounce through ZAC’s ramps, tunnels, and lifts,” said Gleason. “ZAC, of course, stands for Zippo and Case.” The Zippo Manufacturing Company was founded in 1932 by George G. Blaisdell in Bradford, Pa., and is currently owned by Blaisdell’s daughter, Sara Dorn and her son George Duke. Over the past 80 years, the company has produced over 500 million windproof lighters, each of which is backed by the company’s lifetime guarantee – “It works, or we fix it free.™” All Zippo pocket lighters and Case knives are still manufactured in the USA. The Zippo Repair Clinic is located on site with a 30-foot bay window that opens into the museum transforming it into a fascinating working exhibit. Recently, Zippo Manufacturing Company acquired Ronson Corporation, which produces Ronsonol lighter fluid and lighters. Zippo now markets in over 160 countries and also owns the Ronson brand of lighters and fuel and W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery, both based in Bradford, Pa. The Zippo/Case Museum is located at 1932 Zippo Dr. in Bradford is open Monday–Saturday 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and Sundays 11 a.m.–4 p.m. It is closed New Year’s Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Admission is free. For more information, call (814) 368-1932 or visit www.zippo.com.

Eat to Lose Weight BY

KIM LOGEL

The question I get asked more than any other is, “What do I eat to lose weight?” Although, what we put in our bodies as fuel matters most, when we choose to eat also has an impact on how our bodies will process it and our likelihood of gaining weight from it. The timing of when we eat has a great influence on body weight. The most important aspect of any diet is keeping overall calorie consumption in check, particularly for those with diabetes or those who are trying to lose weight, but the schedule people follow in eating meals and snacks can help them either stay on track with their diets or be more easily swayed off course. Here’s a look at some eating habits that will either help you accomplish your weight loss goals or sabotage them.

1. Eat Breakfast!

Break the fast … you have heard it said many times. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast should ideally be eaten within an hour of getting up. Even if it is not a big meal, you need to jump-start your metabolism for the day ahead. Studies have shown that people who skip breakfast are a third more likely to be obese. Eating a nutritious meal in the morning gives the body plenty of energy to start the day and sets the pace of metabolism for the rest of the day. It helps people avoid feeling so hungry at subsequent meals that it derails their diets. Of course, your breakfast needs to be filled

www.EllicottvilleTimes.com with healthy foods such as a serving of lean protein, whole grains and fruits/vegetables. Don’t load up on too many carbohydrates first thing in the morning though, because it could lead to sluggishness later in the day. It’s normal for people to have different preferences about when to eat, and some say they just don’t like to eat breakfast. Regardless of how opposed your body seems to eating in the morning, breakfast really is the most important meal of the day.

2. Lunch

Europeans traditionally take a long lunch break to consume the day’s main meal, which might partly explain why Europe’s obesity levels are lower than in the U.S. Eating a large lunch is better for the body than eating a big dinner, since it means that calories consumed throughout the day are more evenly distributed and satiety is also more even throughout the day. It’s still important to be mindful to servings and portions, no matter what meal you are enjoying, since the body is only going to use what it needs at one particular meal and the rest of it is going to be stored in the body as fat.

3. Dinnertime

In American culture, people often eat their biggest meal of the day at dinnertime. While the idea of friends or family members gathering to discuss the day’s events and share a feast is admirable, but it’s not always what’s best for your health. A better option for people who want to keep their dinnertime tradition is to reduce portion sizes. This can accomplish the goals of both getting in some bonding time, as well as maintaining a healthy weight.

4. Snack-sized Meals Throughout the Day

Another often-suggested dieting trick is to eat small meals throughout the day in lieu of larger meals. This is supposed to keep portion sizes in check while maintaining fullness throughout the day. This strategy works well for some people, as long as they

Ellicottville Times

stay within their bounds for target calorie consumption. Some dietitians even advocate that the small, constant meals rev up metabolism and encourage weight loss. However, the main problem with this way of eating is that oftentimes people don’t know what “small” means and tend to overshoot their calorie consumption.

The “golden ticket” to health. Most important is the minimum of three meals daily, which keeps you feeling full the longest. How you divide your calories depends on individual schedules. If the body goes more than four hours without eating, this will affect metabolism and how likely overindulgence is at the next meal. What I like best about this plan of three main meals with snacks in between is it takes your busy schedule into account. When it is not possible to sit down for lunch until 3 p.m., having a light snack available can stave off hunger. This schedule keeps you in more control of the food choices you make versus grabbing anything edible when you are ravenous.

6. Late-night Eating

Here’s the main problem with late night eating: It does not allow the body to be active and burn the calories consumed, which means those calories will be converted to fat. Most dieticians suggest staying up for at least two to three hours after a meal and one hour after a snack. Plus, staying up means maintaining some sort of activity level, not sitting in a recliner in front of the TV. So there you have it, the good the bad and the ugly. Breakfast is truly a very important meal of the day, so learn to love it. In order to best control your weight and satiety, eat three well-balanced meals daily and be prepared with two to three healthy snacks. Oh, and if you skimmed over the last bit about late night snacks – try to avoid them! They will eventually make you fat.

Ah, September! The i th f ll beginning off the fall season, well not really. We still have a growing season for cool-weather vegetables like lettuces, spinach and other leafy vegetables that wilt or “bolt” in the summer›s heat. My tomato and pepper plants are still flowering and will produce additional fruit until the killing frost occurs. I noticed the other day a collection of webworms on one of my trees and then began to notice more of them around the area. If you encounter a nest of webworms amongst the foliage of your trees, prune the entire nest out of the tree or shrub and destroy it. If left alone, adults will emerge after overwintering pupae in late spring and lay eggs. Groups of larvae cover foliage with webbing and feed inside it throughout midsummer. Up to two generation can occur in a season. With the burning regulations in effect, don›t try to burn this nest. Instead, spray it with Btk (Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki), which is a

microbial biological t l method. th d Ch k control Check with your local nursery for information on purchasing Btk or look online for additional information. This is used to control larval insect pests. After the Btk is applied to the plants, the caterpillars will continue to feed and ingest this toxin and eventually die. This will not harm the beneficial insects, but be cautious about its use as butterfly larvae are caterpillars and will be infected by the Btk. Be sure to read the label and follow directions to be most effective with destroying any insect pests. This information is from The organic Gardener’s Handbook of Natural Pest and Disease Control - A Rodale Organic Gardening Book. If you don’t have this book or one similar, I highly recommend purchasing one. They carry invaluable information. Our Ellicottville Farmers’ Market certainly has a wonderful array of fresh vegetables, local honey and delicious-looking baked

goods. It’s open every Friday from 2–6 p.m. and a wonderful way to visit with friends. Every week I seem to find a different vegetable, which sends my mind to create a different dish or look up an old recipe. This past week, I picked up a head of cauliflower. Cauliflower is a vegetable in the cabbage family and contains glucosinolates, the sulfurcontaining compounds that may help protect against a number of diseases, including some cancers. One of my favorite cauliflower recipes is for roasted cauliflower. The Cuba Garlic Festival is Sept. 15–16 in Cuba, N.Y. Cuba is a short distance from Ellicottville and just off I-86. It’s a very unique festival, featuring the “Stinking Rose,” which is garlic. There are places to purchase garlic for your kitchen use, to plant in your garden, food vendors, plus a whole lot more. There is also a wine tasting. It’s one of my favorite festivals outside Ellicottville. Hope to see you there!

Rock N’ Roll Weekend Cont. from Front Page

live entertainment, a little retail therapy in the many unique shops and boutiques, followed by more live music, your favorite adult beverage paired with a great meal in one of our many fine Ellicottville

establishments? So put on your poodle skirt, grab your hula hoop and shimmy your way on down to Ellicottville for a fun-filled weekend of great live rock n’ roll, vintage wheels and fabulous meals. It’s a great way

to celebrate the end of summer and to kick off another fabulous fall season in the beautiful hills in the ski country of Western New York.

Pumpkinville Opens Sept. 15 Cont. from Front Page

variety of flavorful foods. Visitors will be able to select the pumpkin that’s right for them while enjoying goodies from the Pumpkinville Grill, the Ice Cream Factory and Di’s Pies and Bake Shoppe, such as chicken barbecue, homemade fudge, caramel apples and oldfashioned kettle corn. Those who enjoy finding out how things are made can watch pumpkin doughnuts being created and take home a dozen or two. Those with a sweet tooth can also select a pumpkin pie, an apple pie, cookies, bread and a number of other of other treats. One of the first events of the season is the Apple Cider Festival, which will run from Sept. 22-23. The festival will feature entertainment each day from 1-5 p.m. and festivalgoers will be able to witness apple cider pressing and a 120-year-old cider mill in use. Fall Festival Weekend, which will be Oct. 6-8, will feature a variety of festivities every day. Dan Pawlowski, who has owned and operated Pumpkinville with his family since 1996, said that he and his family have been working

all year to get the attraction ready for this season. “We’ve been working hard since New Year’s (Day), unlike our hired help. I mean we had a lot of help hired through this summer, through maintenance, painting and mechanical and carpentry work and that sort of thing, but pretty much we just started today (Sept. 4) getting the place set up and getting it together and that sort of thing. We’ll work this week getting everything set up. Then next week, we’ll start picking all the crop and getting it ready and getting all of the buildings ready and getting some bacon going, and making some ice cream and some cider and all that sort of thing,” he said. The Pawlowskis took over Pumpkinville after its original owners, Joe and Helen Halloran, retired after having operated the attraction since the late 1960s. They moved it about a mile up the road along Route 98 to a bigger area. The attraction also boasts almost 100 employees who work on making Pumpkinville happen, in addition to the six Pawlowski family members who do the same. Even more

impressive than the number of workers is the number of visitors to Pumpkinville every year, which sometimes pushes 100,000, including people from northern Pennsylvania, Ohio and Canada. Pawlowski said that he had planted about 27.5 acres of pumpkins this year. “We’ve got a wonderful variety of colors of pumpkins that you’re not going to find sitting by the road anywhere. We’ve got everything from blues to pinks to green-striped. We have got a lot of white pumpkins. We’ve got a lot of yellow- and green-striped (pumpkins). If you want a unique variety, we’ve got that,” he said. Though some might understandably think that the pumpkins make the attraction so special, it’s the people, Pawlowski said, who are so crucial to making Pumpkinville what it is. “The crowd brings on a festival atmosphere. You never know who or what is walking through that gate. It’s really the coolest thing going,” he said.

Trail Talk R R R R RR

The Ellicottville Times is your premier source for the most current and accurate info on what’s happening with Ellicottville’s recreation trail project. Often compared to other resort towns in the Northeast and West, Ellicottville is known as an active adventure community with a wide variety of outdoor activities and has a highly respected reputation as a four-season resort town. There isn’t much missing except for a safe, trafficfree recreation trail for our

community and our welcome visitors. Individuals and families enjoy trails for jogging, cycling, rollerblading and walking the family dog, as well as an easy and accessible place to push baby strollers and wheelchairs. Trails provide another building block to living a healthy, active lifestyle for all ability levels. A recreation trail would not only enhance Ellicottville’s considerable outdoor offerings, but it would further cement Ellicottville as a year-round tourist destination.

The Ellicottville Times continues to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from the community. We’d love to hear from you, too. Where should it go? What points should it connect? How long should it be? What are the pros and cons? Send an e-mail to jennie@ellicottvilletimes.com and we’ll print your letter to the editor (just sign your name and town). You read it here first!

Ellicottville Nominated as “Prettiest Painted Place”

Ellicottville is one of hundreds of attractive towns and neighborhoods that will compete this summer in a national contest to find the “Prettiest Painted Places in America.” The competition, which is sponsored by the Paint Quality Institute, a leading source of information on paints and coatings, was last conducted in 2000 when towns such as Cape May, New Jersey, Lake Charles, Louisiana, and Telluride, Colorado won top honors. “The purpose of Prettiest Painted Places is to identify

and recognize those towns and neighborhoods that best demonstrate how exterior paint can enhance the appearance of an entire community,” according to Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert for the Paint Quality Institute in Spring House, Pa. “By honoring the most aesthetically-pleasing places, we believe our competition will give everyone an appreciation for the role that exterior paint can play in protecting and enhancing the appearance of any home or building,” she says. Throughout the summer,

cities, towns, historical districts and neighborhoods will be permitted to enter the competition. In September, a panel of judges will choose 60 places as finalists, 10 each from six geographic regions of the U.S. After further research, a panel of judges from major media outlets will select one small place and one large town or city from each region as the 12 Prettiest Painted Places in America. The winners will be extensively promoted in a national publicity campaign conducted by the Paint Quality Institute. To learn more about the competition, the public is invited to visit the Paint Quality Institute website at http://blog.paintquality. com/. Information and photo galleries on the 60 finalists will be posted in September. For more information, contact Brian McFadden at the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce by e-mailing him at brian@ellicottvilleny.com or calling (716) 699-5046.

Nominated in the “Prettiest Painted Places in America” contest are The Barn Restaurant on Monroe Street and a residence on Washington Street.

Deb Packard and Jenn Karns are putting together plans to host a lecture series beginning Sept. 26 for 12 weeks. At the center of the series is The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. Both women are very familiar with this book and would like to open discussion to members of the community. The book’s subtitle, A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity, could be an antidote to today’s cultural climate as it seeks an inner path to creativity, self-reection and the spiritual way of living. Cameron states in her introduction, “Art is a spiritual transaction.â€? Artists routinely practice a form of faith as they move toward a creative goal, which is often invisible to those around us. Art is an act of faith. “No matter what your age or your life path, whether making art is your career or your hobby or your dream, it is not too late or too egotistical or too selďŹ sh or too silly to work on your creativity,â€? states Cameron. A minimum number of people is required to host this series. Call Deb Packard at 716-699-4003.
