There’s no crying on Halloween

Photo submitted Employees at CCSE FCU in Salamanca got into the Halloween spirit last week by dressing up as the baseball team the Rockford Peaches from the movie “A League of Their Own.”

It’s Model Train Nearly 20% of Cattaraugus Month at the Salamanca County voters Rail Museum cast early ballots

e e . e p

r V a s : o — The e RANDOLPH s Randolph Academy has Theresa L. e appointed Gray as its new Director of e Curriculum and Instruction. ff Gray joins Randolph e Academy having most e recently served as Assistant r Superintendent of Schools , with the Dunkirk City School e District, where she oversaw e all aspects of curriculum, n instruction and assessment r for the district. e Gray also served as Improvement d School with Erie d Coordinator o 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES for 17 years and has adjunct teaching experience with Canisius College.

She began her career as a tenured middle school social studies teacher within the Kenmore-Tonawanda District.

“Theresa’s background is extensive and diverse,” said Randolph Academy Superintendent Lori DeCarlo.

“We’re very pleased to be adding someone with her depth of administrative and teaching experience to our team.”

In her new role, Gray will plan, implement and manage the curriculum, instruction, assessment and programs for the district to improve student achievement. She will also plan, implement and manage teacher evaluation; prepare, submit and oversee all consolidated and federal grants; and advise the superintendent and campus principals on a variety of matters, among many other

duties.

“I’m excited and honored to be joining the Randolph Academy team,” Gray said.

“I’ve admired the work they have done in Restorative Justice for years. Their commitment to nonpunitive forms of discipline has created an environment of mutual respect at their schools — ideal for students who are learning to manage their emotions.

I’m so pleased to be able to help them continue this important work and help these great kids to succeed.”

Gray holds two master’s degrees, including one in Education Leadership from Canisius College and one in Social Studies Education from the University at Buffalo. She also earned her juris doctorate from the University at Buffalo’s School of Law and a bachelor’s degree from Ithaca College in History.

She resides in Hamburg.

SALAMANCA — November is Model Train Month at the Salamanca Rail Museum.

On Saturdays, Nov. 7, 14 and 21, from noon to 4 p.m., the museum will be celebrating the fascinating hobby of model trains.

The Twin Tier Model Railroaders group will have their modular layout set up and operating in the museum’s passenger waiting room. JL Innovative Design, Durango Express and Railroad Express Miniatures, all of which have recently moved from Minnesota to Western New York, will have samples of their work available for purchase.

All items sold in the gift shop will be marked down 10%. Outdoor cars will be open to the public if there are enough volunteers to keep up with the cleaning required by state COVID-19 guidelines.

Additionally, Wanderer Hut, the food truck and catering service in Salamanca, will be set up on the grounds.

Admission is $5 for adults, with children under 12 free with a paying adult.

With a purchased and punched ticket, visitors will get 20% off any menu item at Wanderer Hut, whether it is used on the days of the event or at its other locations.

All proceeds will go to the acquisition of a burro crane from the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum, which is located in Industry.

To volunteer at this event, please leave a message at the museum, 945-3133.

During November, the Salamanca Rail Museum will continue to be open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, noon to 4 p.m.

By Rick Miller LITTLE VALLEY — Nearly 20% of Cattaraugus County’s 41,000 registered voters cast ballots — either at early voting that ended Sunday or absentee ballots — before Election Day. There were 6,103 early votes cast at Jamestown Community College’s Olean campus and the Board of Elections office in Little Valley during early voting.

The first nine days of early voting in 2019, the first year of in-person early voting drew 650 county voters. There were 711 voters on the first day of early voting this year.

This past weekend, the eighth and ninth days of early voting, 303 voted Saturday and 378 on Sunday in Olean and 186 Saturday and 217 on Sunday in Little Valley.

Many people chose early voting to avoid longer lines at the polling sites today during this presidential year due to coronavirus concerns.

Day, and concerns that the U.S. Postal Service may not deliver some absentee ballots in time to be counted, may have contributed to the large number of early in-person voters.

Absentee ballots are also clearly up, however, likely also due to coronavirus concerns on the part of voters.

There were 5,332 absentee ballots — 10.7% of registered voters — requested and by midweek last week, 3,835, or 7.7%, had been returned to the Board of Elections.

Today’s voting at 52 local polling sites in the county is from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The early voting totals will be added to Election Day voting numbers for unofficial returns tonight.

Absentee ballots, including hundreds of military and other overseas residents won’t be counted until next week.

Just down the road at Brookside Studio Watercolors artist, Robin Zefers Clark, has returned from being artist in residence at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute and Museum of Natural History.

Her work will remain on display at their gallery until December 2020.

Nonetheless, there are still many of her paintings in oil and in water color at her studio on the Otto Maples road. Visitors will enjoy viewing the local scenes portrayed in these paintings, many of which are available as limited edition prints, reproductions and note cards.

Robin has been on a quest to see how far she can push her available art materials.

Through the use of colored pencils, she has been able to create stunning hyper realistic portraits of animals.

Do you have a photo of a special animal or person?

Ask Robin how you can turn that image into a lasting family heirloom.

Veterans Day HONORING ALL WHO SERVED The history and meaning of Veterans Day

V

eterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938. Unlike Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans “living or dead” but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

Veterans Day occurs on November 11 every year in the United States in honor of the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” of 1918 that signaled the end of World War I, known as Armistice Day. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. In 1968, the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed by Congress, which moved the celebration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. The law went into effect in 1971, but in 1975 President Gerald Ford returned Veterans Day to November 11, due to the important historical significance of the date. ◆ Veterans Day commemorates veterans of all wars. ◆ Great Britain, France, Australia and Canada also commemorate the veterans of World War I and World War II on or near November 11th: Canada has

Remembrance Day, while Britain has Remembrance Sunday (the second Sunday of November). ◆ Every Veterans Day and Memorial Day, Arlington National Cemetery holds an annual memorial service. The cemetery is home to the graves of over 400,000 people, most of whom served in the military.

The military men and women who serve and protect the U.S. come from all walks of life; they are parents, children, grandparents, friends, neighbors and coworkers, and are an important part of their communities. Here are some facts about the veteran population of the United States: ◆ 18.2 million living veterans served during at least one war as of 2018. ◆ 9 percent of veterans are women. ◆ 7 million veterans served during the Vietnam War. ◆ 3 million veterans have served in support of the War on Terrorism. ◆ Of the 16 million Americans who served during World War II, about 496,777 were still alive as of 2018. ◆ Connecticut was home to the highest percentage of World War II veterans as of 2018 at 7.1 percent. ◆ 2 million veterans served during the Korean War.

WEST VALLEY — Crews recently demolished the Acid Recovery Cell airlock and lift table at the West Valley Demonstration Project.

The cell was used in reprocessing, where processed liquids, such as acid, were recovered and filtered for reuse.

This 100-square-foot structure was constructed in early 2009 to support asbestos-containing material abatement, decommissioning and vessel removal from the cell.

The airlock had a lift table that brought containers to the top of the Acid Recovery Cell where waste

containers were loaded and then lowered back down. A fork truck could then lift and remove the waste container out of the airlock.

The Utility Room building was the sixth of seven ancillary support buildings that once supported the MPPB. The next ancillary building

scheduled for demolition will be the Load-In facility during the future demolition of the Main Plant Process Building.

The Main Plant demolition and reducing the EM complex footprint are part of EM’s priorities for 2020.

Ellicottville’s SOUP-to-SKATE fundraiser rescheduled

ELLICOTTVILLE — The Ellicottville Skatepark Committee has set a new date for SOUP-to-SKATE, a fundraising event in support of the Ellicottville Skatepark Project.

Originally planned for March, SOUP-to-SKATE was canceled due to COVID-19.

The rescheduled event will take place 1 to 4 p.m. Nov. 8 at the Ellicottville Town Center.

SOUP-to-SKATE will showcase handmade ceramic bowls created by local school students, delicious soups and chili donated by area restaurants, and basket raffles with great prizes donated by many local businesses and community members.

Every dollar raised will be doubled through a matching grant awarded by the Tony Hawk Foundation (now known as The Skatepark Project) and Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation and will be applied towards the construction of a permanent, outdoor concrete skatepark in Village Park.

“This is a truly unique community fundraiser that showcases the creativity of our local students, along with delicious recipes from our sponsoring restaurants, Ellicottville Brewing Company, Dina’s and Katy’s Cafe,” said Rachel Elser, SK8EVL committee member. “Last winter, students from Ellicottville Central and Allegany-Limestone Central started creating ceramic bowls specifically for this event, using clay and other materials donated by Hog Shed Studio Pottery of East Otto and Ellicottville resident Greg Cappelli.”

When schools reopened their doors for the 2020-21 school year, art teachers Deb McGowan of ECS and Nicole Missel of AlleganyLimestone evaluated their

supply and, along with their students, are now in high gear to finish as many bowls as they are able with what material was salvageable.

Knowing that bowls will be limited, Horn Hill Pottery of Ellicottville stepped up to the plate and has committed to helping the cause by creating an additional supply of bowls for the event.

Being hosted as an indoor, in-person event, attendees should note that masks will be required to enter, and there will be a separate entrance and exit, with “stations” set up from one end to the other to help participants maintain a safe distance from one another.

Winners of the basket raffles will be posted on SK8EVL’s Facebook page.

Pre-sale tickets are available which guarantees you a handmade bowl. Preorder tickets for $25 each at the ellicottvilleNOW office, 9 W. Washington St.; through any SK8EVL Committee member; or by calling 2447573.

Any remaining tickets will be available at the door. You do not need to purchase a ticket to take part in the basket raffles.

For additional information about SOUP-to-SKATE or if you would like to donate an item for the basket raffles, contact SK8EVL lead advocate Brenda Perks at 244-7573 or email ellicott villeskatepark@ gmail.com.

To date, SK8EVL has raised $61,000 in donations, commitments and pledges.

Other donation opportunities are available, including a direct donation to SK8EVL’s fund set up at the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation, purchasing a commemorative brick that will be installed in the area of the skatepark or sponsorships.

Places and Spaces: Nature Depicted through Fiber Exhibit

SPRINGVILLE — It is rare to see needle felting in a fine art setting. Kari Roslund creates stunning large-scale pieces from natural fibers, now on display at Springville Center for the Arts.

Places and Spaces: Nature Depicted through Fiber is on display until Dec. 12.

Needle felting is a technique that uses notched needles to bind fibers, or “felt.” Roslund’s work features hand dyed and hand spun wool, reclaimed textiles, silk, angora, llama, alpaca, yak and bamboo fibers.

Raised in Woolrich, Penn., Roslund recently relocated to Cattaraugus County.

Having taught in various school districts throughout central Pennsylvania, she discovered her affinity for wool ten years ago while teaching and raising her own flock of sheep.

Receiving the DEC Individual Artist Grant in 2020 with her project entitled, Community Garden: Discovering the Roots and Resources within Cattaraugus County, her most recent works focus on using local resources.

This small collection of local landscapes incorporates a

variety of fibers collected from local farms in addition to natural dyes created from plants, roots, and bark collected within Cattaraugus County.

The Harold L. Olmsted Gallery is located inside Springville Center for the Arts at 37 N. Buffalo St., Springville. The temporarily limited gallery hours are Thursday and Friday from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The opening reception will be held Nov. 14 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. All gallery visitors must wear appropriate face coverings and follow social distancing.

Roslund is also offering two needle felting workshops. On Oct. 31, students will learn the basics of needle felting while making three dimensional pumpkins. On Dec. 12, Roslund will lead students in making three dimensional ornaments.

Both workshops meet from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and cost $20 per student, $18 for SCA members, plus a lab fee payable to the instructor. Space is limited and registration is required.

Explore the history of Veteran’s Day

Service members make numerous sacrifices in defense of their countries.

While the debts to service members may never be the kind that can be repaid in full, paying tribute to veterans, on Veteran’s Day and throughout the year, can be a great way to show them just how much their efforts are appreciated.

Veteran’s Day begins with Armistice Day Veteran’s Day is a byproduct of the end of World War I, when Germany and the Allied Nations signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ceasing fighting and establishing terms of peace. On November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the signing of the treaty, the first Armistice Day events were held. Armistice Day was initially a legal holiday to honor the end of World War I only, states History.com.

The United States Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday starting in 1938. However, in 1954, after the country had been embroiled in both World War II and the Korean War,

Congress amended the Act of 1938 by renaming the commemoration “Veteran’s Day” to honor veterans of all wars.

Veteran’s Day in October?

According to Military. com, for a short time, thanks to the Uniform Holiday Bill, which in 1968 established three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating national holidays on Mondays, Veteran’s Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October — the first being October 25, 1971. However, many people did not agree with this decision, continuing to honor the holiday on the original date.

In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed a new law that returned Veteran’s Day to November 11 beginning in 1978. Since then, parades, memorial events, volunteer efforts, and other celebrations revolving around veterans have been held on November 11.

Veterans around the world Many countries, including the United States, celebrate veterans on or near November 11.

America’s closest neighbor

to the north, Canada, commemorates veterans on Remembrance Day (also November 11), as does the United Kingdom. Britain also has Remembrance Sunday, which is the second Sunday of November. Remembrance Day also is called Poppy Day, when people of the Commonwealth member states wear a red poppy flower in honor of military members who have died in the line of duty.

Paying tribute There are various ways to honor veterans on Veteran’s Day and Remembrance Day. Federal government closings, educational efforts in schools, parades, and visits to military hospitals or cemeteries may take place. In Europe, it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11.

Veteran’s Day and its sister holidays mark the honoring of veterans of all wars, with a particular focus on living veterans.

It is a day to celebrate the dedication and selflessness of hardworking military men and women.

The benefits to shopping on Black Friday

Black Friday is a holiday season phenomenon that entices shoppers out of their homes, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning.

Many stores begin their Black Friday promotions on Thanksgiving night, while others may wait until midnight to open their doors to deal-hungry holiday shoppers.

Thanks to the crowds, some shoppers may be intimidated by Black Friday and opt to avoid stores entirely on the day after Thanksgiving. But there are a host of benefits to shopping on Black Friday that can compel hesitant shoppers to join the festive fray.

• Deals: Black Friday is a consumer-friendly day on which savvy shoppers can find great deals on bigticket items. Big-ticket items like electronics, including televisions, smartphones and tablets, are often heavily discounted on Black Friday.

Such deals may only be for a certain period of time or until a predetermined

amount of inventory has been sold, so shoppers should do their research and prioritize which items are most important to them in advance of Black Friday.

While Black Friday occurs during the holiday season when many people are busy looking for gifts for their loved ones, shoppers who need new big-ticket items can save money by shopping for themselves as well as their friends and family members in the initial hours after Thanksgiving.

• Shopping done early: Shoppers who tend to procrastinate during the holiday shopping season may find that shopping on Black Friday increases the chance they’ll get their shopping done early.

Getting shopping done early leaves more time to celebrate with family and friends throughout December.

• Giveaways: Many stores offer giveaways to Black Friday shoppers.

Such giveaways may include gift cards, free

Rock City (716)938-6936

entries into raffles or totes bags full of goodies. Such giveaways make great stocking stuffers, enabling Black Friday shoppers to get some shopping done without spending a dime.

• Budget-friendly: Budgetconscious holiday shoppers may find that Black Friday allows them to give great gifts without compromising their personal finances. In its second annual holiday debt survey, MagnifyMoney found that consumers who took on debt during the 2016 holiday season were poised to begin the new year with an average of $1,003 worth of new debt.

Shopping on Black Friday might help many shoppers reduce the amount of debt they take on during the holiday season.

Shoppers hesitant to join the Black Friday fray might want to consider the many benefits to shopping on one of the busiest shopping days of the year before making their final decision.
