Jefferson Street Cemetery Dedication
By Mary Fox
A plaque was unveiled on Thursday, November 14, designating the Jefferson Street Cemetery on Rt. 219 in Ellicottville as an historic site on the National Register of Historic Places. The site was put on the register in January
2012, but funding was not available for a plaque marking it until the Wm. P. Pomeroy Foundation stepped in. “Many historic sites across the country do not have markers. The Pomeroy Foundation’s mission is to provide them,” said See Jefferson Street Cemetery page 11
Village Planning Board Discusses Rezoning for 16 Martha Street By Jann Wiswall
At its meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2013, the Ellicottville Village Planning Board had planned to review initial sketch plans for the renovation of the 16 Martha Street property recently purchased from American Locker. However, due to the fact that survey plans for the property were not yet available, that agenda item
was tabled until the board’s December meeting. The owners of the property, who have formed 16 Martha Street, LLC, plan to fully remediate some environmental concerns with the site and renovate the two existing buildings to construct a seasonal apartment complex consisting of one building with 10 apartments and a second
building with four, twostory townhomes/duplexes. The apartments will be fully furnished and offered for term rentals. None will be sold as condominiums. The board did discuss zoning for the property, which will have to be changed for the new use. Currently zoned for industrial use (Village See Village Planning Board page 8

Jack Bares Inducted into Business Hall of Fame posthumously inducted into the Northeast Ohio Business Hall of Fame on Thursday, Nov. 7, 2013, at the Intercontinental Hotel, Cleveland. The honor is given to “the men and women who have helped to create Northeast Ohio’s industries and shaped the area’s economic landscape” by Inside Business magazine. Bares did, indeed, make an impact on the economic landscape in many ways, and not just in Ohio. His various companies, most of which involved tool manufacturing, were where his curiosity and build-a-better-mousetrap attitude were able to thrive. Some of his ideas turned into patented inventions for tools that solved problems for customers all over the world. Bares owned Cleveland specialty tool manufacturer, the Milbar Company for nearly By Jann Wiswall 40 years.

County Legislature Appropriating Casino Funds By Jann Wiswall
Some proposals for Western New York Casino Settlement Fund support have been approved by the County Legislature as it works through the process of spending the $5.8 million windfall. $1.6 million of the total funds must be used for Tier 3 economic development
purposes. The balance ($4.2) is to be used for Tier 1 and 2 tax and direct impact projects. Some 50 proposals for projects have been received totaling more than $13 million. At its Sept. 11, 2013, meeting, two resolutions were approved. One was for $500,000 to support the purchase of Olean’s Knights of Columbus building
by Jamestown Community College. Additional funding is being provided by JCC and New York State. In addition, the legislature approved $225,132 for a 9-11 system software package for emergency dispatch. On Oct. 23, the legislature approved $100,000 for See County Legislature page 9

Last year Joey did not have any gifts under the Christmas tree for his parents or his big sister Nancy. This year little Joey is driving on a snowy Sunday afternoon in December to Santa’s Workshop with Nancy and their parents. In the back seat of the car he is holding his piggy bank to shop for Christmas presents for his family. When the family walks into Santa’s Workshop they are greeted by Santa’s Elves. The Workshop is decorated for Christmas and filled with gifts to choose from. His parents are escorted to a private waiting area where they enjoy refreshments while the Elves help Joey and Nancy select presents for them. The kids then each get a chance to privately pick out gifts for each other. The gifts are then taken to the elves gift wrap station where the gifts are individually wrapped. Joey is not required to pay for the gifts but very proud to be able to donate something for them so he drops fifty cents into the jar at checkout. The family leaves with two happy kids and their wrapped gifts that the kids will be able to put under their tree for Christmas morning. The spirit of giving is alive in well in them. This is the concept of Santa’s Workshop. This is a highly confidential and special service that Family Support for Ellicottville feels is a great way to give back to our community by helping local families in need. Throughout the year Family Support for Ellicottville directly helps families in the Ellicottville School District in a variety of ways. 100 percent of all monies donated to Family Support for Ellicottville remain in our community and support the needs that arise during these difficult economic times. Family Support for Ellicottville (an affiliate of the Rotary Foundation for Youth) is a 501c3 charitable foundation so your donation is tax deductible. How can you help? Save the date for the ninth annual Irish
Christmas, Friday December 6th at the Gin Mill located on Washington Street in Ellicottville. Once again Robert McCarthy has spearheaded this fun filled amazing event that will directly benefit the Family Support for Ellicottville group and Santa’s Workshop! Although a monetary donation is preferred so that we can purchase gifts for particular age groups, we also happily accept unwrapped gifts. You can bring your donation to the Gin Mill on December 6th. There will be a live auction including handcrafted items from Ireland Irish whiskey, hotel and ski packages as well as many other wonderful items. Back by popular demand this year there will be a special pie auction. Our locals have dug out their favorite recipes for pie, so you will see some extraordinary creations that you can bid on. This is always a fun event so mark your calendars. Events start at 6:00 PM Need help in figuring out ideas for gifts? Monetary donations are always the best but we can help steer you if you want to provide a gift. This year we will be servicing 100 plus recipients. The gifts that we need are those for every age and gender including parents, teenagers, and children. Some ideas would be flashlights, tools, hats, scarves, toiletries, watches, cologne and perfume, toys, electronics, games, etc…etc.. If you have any questions about the event or the project please call Mila at 997-9649. What if I you can’t make it to Irish Christmas on the December 6th? No need to worry you can drop off your unwrapped gift or monetary donation at 47 Elizabeth St., between 10:00 AM & 3:00 PM or call 699-8758.

Food Pantry Collection Nov. 21 in Front of Gin Mill The Ellicottville Food Pantry needs constant contributions of food and money to continue serving those in our area who cannot afford to buy enough food for their family. Thursday, Nov. 21, marks the fifth year that Bob McCarthy’s John Deere tractor and trailer will be parked outside the Gin Mill to collect donations of food for the pantry. Beginning around 9 a.m. until about 6:45 p.m., McCarthy will entertain passersby with Irish music and stories galore. As vehicles pull alongside, he will gladly assist them in transferring donations to the trailer. “I do it right about now because it’s getting close to Thanksgiving. Because of that one event, there has been such an awareness of the food pantry. People are in need,” said McCarthy. McCarthy loves Ellicottville and does just about anything to help people. “The idea is that if it’s only a can of soup, that’s a can of soup the food pantry didn’t have the day before,” said McCarthy. The Ellicottville Food Pantry serves Otto, East Otto, Great Valley, Ellicottville and West Valley and accepts donations all year. To find out the best

Connections: MEATBALLS
FOR
SAD
BY JEFF MARTIN
I’m sad. This week marks what has to be the second straight week of cloudy skies, rain and biting wind. The only thing missing are meatballs. This isn’t easy for me. For f ive years, I lived in an area that had unrelenting sunshine. Once, in October, I counted 28 straight days of clear skies. The sun was a constant. The temperature remained at 73 deg rees. Indian summer. Indian summer. Indian summer. And more Indian summer. When I moved to Western New York, I was warned. Reach late October and the sky goes dark for six months. Moody by nature, I was concerned. What affect would such a climate have on a person who was, even in the midst of a sunlight bath, a bit melancholy? I g rew up in Northeast Ohio, so I was accustomed to such conditions. I remember it being diff icult, especially when late winter arrived. I felt like I was walking with a noose around my neck. I slept more. I ate more. I read the novels of Dostoyevsky, an author I could never read in the hey-day of summer sun. Recently I’ve been researching some ways to combat what the medical community is beg inning to acknowledge more and more as a leg itimate physiolog ical condition: SAD, or seasonal affective disorder. Basically, three things happen during SAD: your biolog ical clock is out of whack, interrupting your circadian rhythm. Should you sleep or get up? Your brain is confused and thus you fall into mild, even severe depression. Both serotonin and melatonin levels, which regulate mood and sleep ability, are reduced. It would be easy to jump over to your physician and get some meds, but there are other ways to defeat this formidable foe. First and foremost is to simply accept this environmental condition and get on with it. Do not let the overcast sky and biting winds keep you from taking a walk, which physicians at the Mayo Clinic suggest as the single most important activity you can engage in as a way to minimize the damage wrought by SAD. I’ve discovered that bundling up and trudg ing up the street in cold conditions invigorates my body and mind. If you can f ind a nice woodland path, that’s even better. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, taking a long walk, eating lunch at a nearby park or simply spending some amount of time outside within two hours of getting up in the morning is key. Not only does the body respond positively to the natural light, it also tells the body that you will not be shuttered in and defeated by meteorolog ical adversity. Exercising, too, is important. Purchase an exercise bike or Nordic Track system. If you can’t do that, run up and down basement steps with hand weights. I did yoga and general weight resistance routines when I was unable to utilize exercise equipment. Keep your house or apartment open to the light by cracking blinds, trimming tree branches that block sunlight. If you can afford it, add skylights to your home and sit close to windows while at work or home. Diet is important as well. Eat fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C and D. Citrus drinks are good, too, and I’ve personally found that spicy foods smack my moods in the face and cheer me up. These are just a few suggestions, and if you, dear readers, have more, feel free to drop me a line. Especially if you have a good recipe for meatballs.
I ran the NYC Marathon this year to fulfill a goal I had set more than a year ago: I would run a marathon somewhere during late 2012 or 2013 to celebrate by 65th birthday. NYC is a very competitive marathon and ordinary runners like me can get in by collecting money for a charity, which I did. I was moved by the generosity of friends and acquaintances, who supported me financially and with glowing encouragement. Then came hurricane Sandy and the cancellation of the 2012 NYC Marathon. I felt a lot of disappointment and frustration over the cancellation, but this was dwarfed by the devastation caused by Sandy. I came home ready to retrain and find another locale for my run when I was notified that the New York City Road Runners Club had devised a plan for people whose marathon was cancelled. I would be admitted to the 2013 NYC Marathon without further requirements if I paid the entry fee again. This gave me time to train
under instructor Terry Fuller. In 2012, he won both the National SkillsUSA Competition in cabinetmaking and the SkillsUSA National Championship. At nationals in Las Vegas, Nev., competitors received a set of plans, a stack of materials and had three, sevenhour workdays to build an intricate cabinet. At the end of the challenge, Wozniak was named the winner and received thousands of dollars in tools and other prizes. Wozniak’s cabinetmaking journey was recently featured on ABC-WKBW news.
for the race. I was supported wholeheartedly by my wife and daughters. I arrived in NYC on Thursday before the race and drove straight to the Expo that the Road Runners club organized for the days before the marathon to pick up my racing bib. The expo was huge, noisy and there was excitement in the air. It was also the first exposure I had to the intense security measures that were enacted to maintain the safety of the race. I stayed at my daughter’s apartment where I was treated like some sort of king! Through her generosity, I had accommodations that I could not have afforded under any circumstances. We had a great visit for four days and even a post-race party! I was in the city, and it was a chance for me to do a minimum of prerace running to maintain my readiness for the marathon and then rest, rest, rest! Marathon day finally came and after a nervous night, I got on the subway and headed for the Staten Island Ferry. Intense
security measures continued with ID and package checks along the route. One of the most impressive parts of the NYC Marathon was the sheer logistic problems that seemed to be accomplished smoothly. Think of getting 50,000 people from 100 different countries onto a small island in time for each of them to start a race at their appointed time! Everyone in NYC was encouraging, positive, and not afraid to express it. High above the runners, as we finally arrived at our starting point on the approach to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, I can remember three firemen in an elevated snorkel waving and cheering to the runners, their enthusiasm unmistakable. Finally, the starting cannon boomed and ever so slowly runners began a 26.2-mile trek through the five boroughs of NYC. I was well toward the rear of the starters, being a slow runner, and so the attitude of those around me was anything but fiercely competitive. Everybody there seemed to be present to run his or her own race and enjoy the day. Running through the city like being in a magic kingdom where you have suddenly become a hero to perfect strangers who were cheering us on with incredible enthusiasm! So many people were there to support family and friends, but thousands more just came to take part in the event as spectators, cheering and shouting for total strangers and having a great time doing it! The weather was cool and windy in spots with an occasional burst of sunshine. We made our way through one neighborhood after another, and everywhere, New Yorkers were on the sidewalks cheering us on. Music blared from bands and sound systems, the pounding beats of rock and rap music spurring us on. Children and adults reached out from the sidelines for high fives and
seemed to send energy directly from their touch to invigorate runners along the way. The first 10 miles of the run were an effort like most of my training runs. Beginning sometime after mile 10, the miles seemed to change somehow, as if they passed more quickly one after the next. Mile marker after mile maker arrived and with the new mile, a new chance to pick up some hydration from the thousands of volunteers passing out cups of liquid as we passed. At mile 17 and at mile 23 or so I saw my own daughter, her boyfriend, and a few of our New York friends at the sideline cheering like crazy! This was the ultimate degree in emotional support that all but overwhelmed me! It was a moment that I treasure now and always will. The cheers and the hugs helped me find a last bit of energy. Past mile 24 and 25, which seemed the longest miles in the entire experience, past Columbus Circle and then finally after mile 26, the finish line was in sight. It took me 5 hours and 5 minutes to finish this marathon, and beyond all reason or sense, there were still people cheering at the sidelines! The last step, over the threshold of the timing devices, and then I was engulfed by the thrill of reaching my goal. The marathon was over, I was still on my feet, exhausted, aching here and there, but just saturated with the happiness that this run had given me. Since the cancellation of the marathon in 2012, I had trained, worried, wondered at every step if this was a reasonable or worthwhile task. My family and friends carried me on, encouraging me through all those miles of preparation, and it is to them that I owe my thanks. It was the thrill of a lifetime to run in the New York City Marathon!
Great Valley Town Board Meeting By Mary Fox
The Nov. 11 Great Valley Town Board meeting was open by Town Supervisor Dan Brown and dedicated to Zach Ward and Lloyl Chase, town residents who passed away in the last month. Property maintenance continues to be an issue. At the next board meeting on Dec. 10, the board will discuss what needs to be done to enact a local law regarding property maintenance. The New York Association of Towns provides guidelines for creating ordinances and laws. Supervisor Brown hopes Town Judges Peter Stokes and Scott John and Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty will be present at this meeting to discuss what they would like to have in a local law for property maintenance. Chris Shena, chairman of the
Planning Board reported, “The board is looking into updating the Town’s Comprehensive Plan.” Input from the public is welcome before the Dec. 10 meeting. Shena and other members of the Great Valley Planning Board will attend a planning board training class at Southern Tier West. “One advantage of joining the organization is the opportunity to have the creation and monthly updating of a website for Great Valley,” he said. Shena will follow up. Great Valley is already a member of Southern Tier West, but to be on the website, the membership fee will rise to $250. Deputy Superintendent Ted LaCroix, member of the proposed Ellicottville/Great Valley Trail Committee, showed a map of the proposed

trail. At the request of the board, the Evans Insurance Agency was invited to review the town’s insurance for price and service comparison. A representative of the agency, Alan Butzer, gave a presentation for a municipal insurance package. He has been invited to make a proposal to the board. The town’s current coverage is through the Weast Agency.
Phil Moyer of Weast is invited to the Dec. 10 board meeting to discuss our current coverage, which is due for renewal Jan. 1, 2014. The carrier will be determined at a special board meeting on Dec. 30. Bruce Hudson, newly appointed supervisor for the town of Carrollton was present for “idea gathering to see how other town boards operate.”

There are five limiting factors for clients to reach their goals: Genetic makeup, physical exercise or activity patterns, physiology (are their systems in balance), mindset and nutrition. Studies have shown poor nutrition is what holds clients back. Good nutrition feeds muscle and helps shed fat. This is the most significant factor in determining a client’s outcome. So what is good nutrition in simple terms? Good nutrition
properly controls energy balance; provides nutrient density; achieves health, body composition and performance goals; is honest and outcome based; and is sustainable for you and the planet. You are what you eat! I am sure you have heard this, but more accurately you are what you digest, absorb and transfer to your cells. It’s a complicated process, but the bottom line is good food to fuel your body will yield good results in the perfect world. In today’s modern world of toxins in our environment and overly processed food, it is very difficult to get all of the high quality nutrients from food alone. In the July 2002 landmark article in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association announced that “all adults should take vitamin supplements to help prevent chronic disease.” The 5 Myths about
Supplements 1. I can get everything I need from my food. You’re right! You can get everything from your food as long as you are willing to eat 33 lbs. of spinach, 1 bottle of sunflower oil or 3 lbs. of almonds every single day to get optimum amounts of Vitamin E. 2. It seems like I pee out all of my vitamins anyway, so why should I bother taking them? Our bodies are remarkable. Think about water. No matter how much you drink, your body can only hold so much at a time. So, your body absorbs what it needs and eliminates the rest. 3. All vitamins are the same, so I’ll just by the cheapest bottle. Sadly, all vitamins are not created equal. There are some not-so-good manufacturers out there who cut corners leading to two main problems: false labeling and contamination. I recommend that when you choose your
supplements, choose from a company that manufactures voluntarily to pharmaceutical grade and is a registered Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug establishment. The FDA doesn’t hold dietary supplements to the same quality standard as the pharmaceuticals, so many products just aren’t what they say they are. 4. One pill a day is all I really need. You can’t eat all the food you need for a day in one sitting. What makes you think you can get all the nutrients you need for a day in one pill? 5. I don’t need to take more than the Recommended Daily Allowance. During WWII, the FDA created the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) to address nutrient deficiency disorders in soldiers. And while the FDA has noted its intention to update the daily values, it has not done so since 1968.

Explaining Mayor Rob Ford to the Children “Mommy! Mommy! Mr. Ford is on TV again and now he says he may have accidentally murdered somebody and buried the body under his desk at city hall and he’s really, really sorry.� “Oh, no honey. That’s just a comedian with 14 pillows under his shirt.� “So the mayor is not a murderer?� “No honey. But it’s early in the week.� “So the mayor is still just a drunken crackhead who lies and cheats and calls people nasty names?� “That’s right, honey. And because we live in Etobicoke, we respect him for that.� “Ford Nation, right?� “Ford Nation forever, darling. Remember to tell your friends at school — it’s all a big conspiracy, the cops are out to get him and the chief of police should be investigating Justin Trudeau or Margaret Atwood or Santa Claus. Yeah, Santa. Were you happy with your gifts last year?� “No, cause everything had Ford Nation printed on it.� “So?� “My tattoo is still itchy.� “Don’t be cheeky.� “So how did Mr. Ford get to be mayor, Mommy?� “Well, we voted for him to go to city hall and clean up all the corruption and kickbacks and stuff.� “Did it work?� “Well, actually there wasn’t any of that going on, so then he stood up for us in the ‘war against the car’ and ...� “Did it work?� “Well, actually there was no war and now he’s Mr. Subway, but ...� “Didn’t he do anything as mayor?�

“Yes, of course he did. He ripped up a bicycle lane so that a bunch of downtown, leftwing pinkos would have to walk to work.� “How’d that go?� “Well, it cost almost $300,000 to remove the lane and ...� “And what?� “And only $59,000 to build it.� “That’s it. That’s all he’s done!� “No, of course not. He started ‘Cut The Waist’ weight loss program so all of us could eat healthier and lose ...� “And then he quit and got even fatter cause he always eats KFC.� “And he phones us back personally and he stands up for us and he’s depleting the supply of drugs on the street and most important ... he refuses to raise taxes.� “Oh.� “That’s what it’s all about. Never, ever raising taxes in the city of Toronto ever, ever, ever again.� “But my teacher says if we paid a little more taxes we could open the school pool and plaster wouldn’t be falling on our heads all the time.� “Your teacher probably listens to CBC Radio and reads the Toronto Star. What has Mommy told you about listening to those left-wing pinkos and kooks?� “But you said Mr. Ford never used drugs and now he says he did! Isn’t that bad?� “Well, no. It’s not bad because he doesn’t remember doing drugs.� “Why not?� “Because he was completely falling down drunk at the time.� “But isn’t that bad too?�

“Well it’s not as bad as hardcore drug use. Understand?� “I think so. Like the time Uncle Jerry got caught naked in the back of K-Mart with a mannequin but he said it was okay because he had amnesia?� “Exactly. These are health issues that require our sympathy.� “But Mommy, what if Mr. Ford has to go to prison?� “Well, it won’t be the worst thing in the world. He does have a lot of friends there.� “But who would Ford Nation replace him with?� “Oh honey. I didn’t want to spoil the surprise of your Christmas gift but ... what do you think about this sweatshirt? It’s pink, your favourite colour.� “Cherry Nation?!?� “That’s right, Don Cherry is a nice man, he’d be a good mayor and he won’t raise taxes.� “But Mommy, that guy’s crazy. All he does is stick up for violence and he says nasty things about people and the way he dresses hurts my eyes.� “But he won’t raise taxes.� “Oh.� “And another thing.� “What?� “We need to have that tattoo scraped off your arm and ...� “No. I’m not getting an ‘I Love Don Cherry Tattoo.’ No way, Mom.� For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www. williamthomas.ca.

The views will be stunning no matter where you look! Anne Conroy-Baiter, executive director of the CCAC, explained, “We made the decision to move the Holiday Sale to Holiday Valley Resort, because Ellicottville is more and more the heart of the holiday season in the region, and we thought this new venue would increase the number of visitors able to take advantage of this many highquality artists under one roof. And what a spectacular roof! When Holiday Valley agreed on our proposed date in the new lodge, we realized we had the potential to really grow the event.” Whether you come with a list or let inspiration drive your shopping, you won’t leave empty handed. As you browse and visit with artists, you’ll find the perfect hand-beaded

Elizabeth Jankowski, Barbara Fox, Karen Fitzpatrick, Patricia Eckstrom, Elliott Hutten, Sean Huntington, Denise Drummond, Robin Zefers Clark, John Balacki, Cherie Antle, and Jennie Acklin, looking for unique holiday gifts will be effortless this season. “I’ve wanted to do RTA for a few years now, but timing and inventory has always been an issue,” said Wintermantel. “My community has always been supportive of me. I have had many people ask me to show locally.” Although Wintermantel’s pieces are usually on the upper end of the price spectrum, he said he will be offering some limited edition prints, and smaller and more affordable oil paintings on new Arches oil paper. He said they “look exactly like my paintings on canvas and panel, but they are easier for me do because there is much less preparation. Hence I can price these at a more reasonable rate.” Need a distraction for the kids while you check off your gift list? The Cattaraugus County Arts Council will be offering face painting for kids all day. From 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., the vocal stylings of Chordiac Arrest will fill the air with holiday music.

who owns Stride Tool, with offices in Ellicottville and manufacturing facilities in Glenwillow, Ohio. Bares wasn’t just interested in his own business. He also was committed to helping other small businesses that were trying to compete with the Fortune 500 set. With several other business movers and shakers in Cleveland, Bares helped found the Council of Smaller Enterprises (COSE), a small business support
organization that, according to its Web site, “provides costeffective group purchasing programs, advocacy on legislative and regulatory issues and networking and education resources to help Northeast Ohio’s small businesses grow.” “COSE was one of Jack’s proudest achievements,” said Alice Bares, who married Jack in 1956. One of its first goals was to pool the resources and strengths of its member
businesses to provide health insurance to their employees. “This became a national model” for the power of group purchasing, Alice said. COSE also became a leader in providing continuing education for its members. Bares took the lead in developing a Strategic Planning course for members, which now is a nine-month, intensive mentoring program for business owners to help them analyze their business, evaluate the competition and prepare for future growth. More than 1,000 business leaders have taken the course to date. “I think his involvement in COSE was the primary reason for this honor,” said Alice, who attended the event with the couple’s four children, two of their grandchildren, other family members, friends and several Stride Tool employees. “Jack received many awards over the years, but it is very nice that his contributions were recognized even after his death.”

Women Create Deadline Extended
Women Create is extending its deadline for submissions for its second biennial juried exhibit of women’s art to Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013. The exhibit will open on March 1, 2014, at the 3rd On 3rd Gallery at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts in downtown Jamestown.
Jamestown, NY – Women Create is extending its deadline for women to submit work for consideration for its second biennial juried exhibit of women’s art. Artist and instructor Debra Eck and photographer Jennifer Schlick are creative directors for the exhibit that will be at the 3rd On 3rd Gallery at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts in downtown Jamestown, N.Y. “With our juror being a faculty member at SUNY Fredonia,� said Schlick,
“we realized that she won’t be able to begin the jurying process until after the end of the academic semester, so we decided to give our artists additional time to prepare their submissions.� Deadline for applications has been extended from Dec. 1 to Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013. Artists will be notified of the juror’s decisions by the end of the first full week of January, 2014. Accepted artists will be required to deliver their pieces in person or to make arrangements directly with the gallery for shipping. Juror for the show will be Dr. Leesa Rittelmann, associate professor of Art History at SUNY Fredonia. Dr. Rittelmann’s teaching and research focus on Modern and Contemporary art in Europe and the United States, with an emphasis on the intersection between gender, race and nationality in artistic production and reception. She holds a B.S. degree in Museum Education from Penn State University as well as M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from The University of Pittsburgh. A former Curatorial and Research Assistant at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art, Rittelmann recently curated the 2013 exhibition “Gone Viral: Medical Science and Contemporary Textile Art� for SUNY Fredonia’s
Marion Art Gallery. Her current research investigates the relationship between labor, gender, craft and political activism in the public sphere. Applications are being accepted from women of all ages in any media, and artists from Western New York, Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio are encouraged to apply. The opening reception for the exhibit will be on Saturday, March 1, 2014, and it will close on SWAN Day, March 29. A series of salons and other related activities will take place in the gallery during that time. SWAN Day, which stands for Support Women Artists Now, is an annual event held on the last Saturday in March, Women’s History Month, and in the weeks surrounding that date. First celebrated in 2008, it is an international holiday designed to showcase the power and diversity of women’s creativity. Women Create grew out of Eck’s collaboration with Shane Hawkins at Jamestown’s Infinity Visual and Performing Arts to host a SWAN Day event in 2011. More information and complete guidelines for applying for the exhibit are on the Women Create website, http://www.womencreate.org.
Hey Kids: Take the Time to Remember (Any Day of the Year)
by Jonathan Barlow
As a barber, I come across many people in the shop. Of those great customers, WWII vets are among them and have been for all of my professional decade. These are a truly special group of individuals. During their visits for regular grooming, it becomes an honor for me to be able to simply listen. An interesting thing happens. Their stories are what counts. And more than that, it’s their collective positive attitude and social graces that most impress me from the time they come through the door. Politeness is a common thread with these great, honest and important guys. They always ask, “Do you have any time for me?� Or, “Looks like I arrived at the right time. How are you today?� — ever the first to be the ones asking the simple, caring question and never meaning to “step on anyone’s toes.� All of my regular defenses shut down in that instant and a true appreciation for each guy takes hold. I like to think it’s a good relationship that forms in its simplicity. Now, as far as my knowing
that any one of these gentlemen has served in the Great War doesn’t come without coaxing. These soldiers, family and business men are truly a humble bunch. They are proud of what the country is made of. Not often do they divulge much in the first meeting. No, not until there has been a period of acquaintance. Let’s say two or three haircut visits. And of course, some are more open than others. I never pry either — not until I know they will want to tell me something from the past. After all, they own (and earned) their experiences and can release this history as they wish. If anyone has earned respect these days in this country, it’s a veteran! Also, it is my hope that it’s a relief for them to open up on even the smallest story in memory. Our exchanges are usually normal in form. Once in a while, I think there can be a sort of trigger that comes up to start something else for the veteran. I can hardly say that he intends on regaling of his memories that day. Surely, they each had a separate and meaningful experience from the terrific

responsibilities bestowed upon the whole generation. When the tale comes out, it is usually vivid. One can tell there is a fondness of that time of deep change. I really do enjoy any kind of open dialogue with the Greatest Generation and that selfless era. Most of the veterans are in their 80s or better. Some of them are your relatives. Some a kind soul you’ll see somewhere in daily life. Others have passed on. For these men and women, I kindly encourage everyone to show any sign of appreciation for their accomplishments. Through talking, you just may learn something too. If you’re lucky, you’ll get the slightest anecdote of the enormous jobs they all held to help us live the life we deserve. Remembrance is the key. Thank you Veterans of Foreign Wars! JonnyBarberShop wishes to donate a portion of proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project on a regular basis.

Ellicottville Sports Round-Up
ECS Fall Season Closed, Winter Underway By Todd Palmatier
ECS Eagles fall sports have come to an end! Last weekend the Boys’ and Girls’ Varsity Soccer teams were beaten back by Jasper Troupsburg of Section 5. The girls suffered a 1-0 defeat on a questionable goal, while the boys lost 4-0. ECS winter sports are starting to amp up! Boys’ Varsity Basketball will be coached by second-year coach, Dave McCann. McCann is returning with core players from his 2012 team. The Boys’ JV team will be led by Matt Finn and Boys’ Modified
by Chris Keenan. The Girls’ Varsity Basketball team will be led by first-year coach, Chad Bartoszek, while the Girls’ JV team will be coached by Katie Taylor. Additionally, the Girls’ Modified team will be coached by Tammy Eddy. The school will also be participating in Alpine Skiing and Bowling for the winter sports season. Remember, the Fall Sports Banquet will be held on Nov. 25 at ECS and is a catered affair sponsored by the Ellicottville Sports Boosters. In youth sports, the Ellicottville YMCA Basketball

teams played last Friday with the 8-9 year old and 12-13 year old teams upping their records to 2-0 respectively. The 10-11 year olds lost a close battle to the Olean Pacers and fell to 0-2. Ellicottville Youth Basketball will begin in December 2013. Flyers will soon be going home with students. Look for signup dates, which are to be posted here in the Ellicottville Times. Last but not least, Ellicottville Wrestling is practicing hard and preparing for upcoming tournaments.
Odyssey of the Mind Tryouts By Jalee Evans, ECS Elementary Student Correspondent
This past Tuesday, Ellicottville Central School held the annual Odyssey of the Mind tryouts. Students in grades 4 and 5 are nominated by their teachers to see who will go to the tryouts. Students that are in grades 6-12 get the choice to sign up for try outs. This is a great opportunity for students of all ages to show off their creativity and knowledge. During tryouts, the
students listen to the coaches’ “problems� and pick which one they will likely succeed at and enjoy trying to solve. Then, the students are in teams of usually seven other kids and try to make a skit out of the problem. For example, if your problem is to send messages from one end of something to the other, you can create a tube to send the messages. The skit has to be less than eight minutes long. First, the kids perform in
the Regional Competition and if they get a high enough score, they go on to State Competition, and finally World Competition. Last year there were five teams, and Mrs. Keller’s high school team made it to the World Competition! This year’s elementary coaches are Mrs. Laurie Caldwell and Mrs. Caitlin Keller. The teams will be chosen by Thanksgiving so that the students will get to work. Wish them luck!

rezoned as medium density. Board Chair Nancy Rogan suggested that the board allow for some flexibility in zoning the 10-unit structure in case, at some time in the future, owners want to include retail there. While the new owners
have no plans to include retail, the board agreed that it would make sense to build that into the rezoning language. That language will be drafted and reviewed at the next planning board meeting scheduled for Dec. 10 at 5:30 p.m.

Nutrition: Should You Eat or Drink Your Fruits and Veggies? By Michael R. Williams, RD
Fruits and vegetables are the foundation of a healthy diet. It is recommended that half our meals should come from these groups. For adults, these would mean a combined total of 4–6 cups per day. And this is for good reason. High fruit and vegetable intakes are continually associated with increased health and low rates of chronic disease. Unfortunately, it can be tough to get this much. In fact, the average New Yorker only eats 1.6 cups of the 4–6 recommended. With high recommendations and low intakes, fruit juices are sometimes suggested as a quick, easy and tasty way to get some health benefits. But is drinking fruits and vegetables the same as eating them? Antioxidants are one of the reasons fruits and vegetables are important. Just like a car rusts over time, so do our bodies through a process called oxidation. Plant foods like fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, which slow down this oxidation, thus decreasing bodily stress and inflammation. If fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of antioxidants, then would juice, a concentrated and condensed form of fruit, contain even more? Earlier this year Dr. Kristi
Crowe of the University of Alabama investigated this question. She first compared the antioxidant content of fresh fruit and fruit juices. Her research found that fresh fruits contained higher numbers of antioxidants when compared to both name brand and store brand juices. Both fresh apples and grapefruit were found to have 50 percent higher levels of antioxidants than a serving of their juice. Not all juices are created equal. In the same study, Dr. Crowe found that when it comes to juice, commercial-brands may be the best. Along with fresh fruit, she compared store brand and commercial brand juices. In almost all juices, the commercial brands had higher levels of antioxidants than the store brands. She states that this may be due to different methods of processing. While juicing fruits will lead to some
antioxidant loss, some methods of processing juice can lead to much bigger losses. The processing of juice also removes fiber. This is particularly important when it comes to weight management. Fiber helps keep food in the stomach, which allows for the release of hunger-reducing hormones. But juices and most liquids pass by the stomach too quickly for the release of these hormones. So instead we get a lot of sugar with very little fullness. For example, it takes about four oranges to make a cup of juice. This cup of juice has the same amount of sugar and calories as four oranges but is much easier to drink with a meal. Unfortunately, this can make it very easy to consume too many calories and ultimately gain weight. Drinking juice may be a convenient way to obtain some of the healthful benefits of fruits and vegetables. It is certainly better to have juice than no fruits and vegetables at all. Nonetheless, there are many more benefits to whole fruits and vegetables, such as decreasing chronic disease risk. While getting a total 4–6 cups of fruits and vegetables each day may be tough, centering meals on these food groups with the occasional glass of juice can help prolong a healthy and vital life.

have so many challenges. It’s a difficult business and it’s hard to make a living. Generally speaking, farmers don’t get paid for the real value of their food unless they can sell locally. Local and regional food hubs can make a big difference,” she said, by reducing the number of miles food has to travel before it can be sold. “We’ll be spending a lot of time educating people about the importance of this concept.” Before joining the Nassau County extension service, Hunsberger worked for two years as a research specialist in plant pathology at Cornell’s Long Island Horticultural Research & Extension Center. Her academic interests extend to organic weed management and sustainable vegetable production as it relates to solving global food security issues. From 2001-2010, Hunsberger worked for the University of Maryland’s Worcester County Office, first as extension educator for agriculture and natural resources, and then as that office’s director. She also has served as a research specialist for Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. and as a teaching and research assistant at the
University of Massachusetts, where she received her master’s degree in plant and soil sciences. Hunsberger grew up in the Rochester area. Her mother, a professional cellist, and father, a conductor, “didn’t pass on their musical genes to me,” she laughed. “I play the radio.” She’s happy to be back in the western part of the state and plans to take advantage of everything the Southern Tier has to offer, especially cross-country skiing. She and her husband, who was a law professor at Pace University and is starting a law practice near their new home in Wellsville, plan to participate in the Pain in the Alleganies triathlon this year. They also hope to take in all the cultural, entertainment and outdoor activities that abound in the region. “It’s a beautiful area, and there is a lot of need for the extension service’s programs,” said Hunsberger. “I look forward to meeting people, hearing their concerns and helping them find solutions to their problems.” Hunsberger will be working in both the Ellicottville and Allegany Extension Service offices.

in Machias, approximately $200,000 for the Zoar Valley Gateway Project, and $162,000 for restoration of Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater. All of the above proposals fall into the Tier 1 and 2 categories. Throughout the rest of the year, various legislative committees plan to continue to evaluate and put forward additional proposals. If there is a balance at the end of 2013, it will be put into a separate 2014 budget line. “We’re not in a big hurry to spend this money,” said legislator James Boser (D-Allegany). “We want to take our time and carefully consider each project.”
This is particularly true for Tier 3 projects, according to Crystal Abers, director of the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism, who is working with the legislature to identify appropriate projects. “These will take longer to work out and consider.” They also must also be approved by the state. According to Deputy County Administrator Jeffrey VanDeCar, priority will be given to projects that provide new employment opportunities. To date, there is no indication from the legislature what Tier 3 projects might be moving toward resolution. Some projects that originally were listed under Tier 3 were moved to Tier 1 and 2. Tier 3 funds left at the end of 2013 also can be moved into a separate budget line in 2014 and can continue to be carried over from year to year.

Adrenaline Rush of Snocross Returns to Salamanca Feb. 7 - 8
Photo by Joelle Wolters/Ellicottville Times SALAMANCA, NY – The thrills, twists, turns, and high speeds in the snow returns to Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel on Feb. 7–8, 2014, with AMSOIL Championship Snocross powered by Ram Truck. The region’s newest winter tradition promises to provide fun for the whole family during a two-day, nationally-televised event that, last year, saw tens of thousands of fans descend upon the foot of the Allegheny Mountains for nonstop, heart-pumping, action-packed races with the world’s best snowmobile athletes. Tickets for the event make a great holiday gift and are on sale now online at www. isocracing.com and at the Logo Shop inside Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel. Advance ticket prices are $25 for Friday, $25 for Saturday or a valuepriced $30 all-weekend pass. A special four-pack of weekend passes is available online for a discounted price of $100. Admission is free for children ages six and younger. Crews with International Series of Champions (ISOC)
Racing will once again turn one million gallons of water into snow over a footballfield-sized plot of land outside Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel. This year, the race site will be presented in a new location, directly west of the casino, on the right-hand side of the main road leading to the hotel parking ramp. The racecourse will include wicked twists and giant ramps that will send vehicles flying dozens of feet into the air. More than 200 of the top snowmobile racers from North America and nearly a dozen countries worldwide will face off in a full-throttle, actionpacked series of races that combine big-air jumps and competitive racing. Last year’s races drew an unprecedented 10,000 fans during the Saturday events and nearly 15,000 for the entire weekend. A panel of Snocross industry experts decreed the Seneca Allegany experience as the “Event of the Year.� “The event was special in so many ways,� said Carl Schubitzke, president and race director, ISOC Racing.
“Everyone at Seneca Allegany was so helpful and professional. The city embraced the event. And the fans were just absolutely wonderful.� Bleachers set up around the track accommodate thousands of fans and bright lights will illuminate the track during the evening hours on Friday and Saturday, when the main events take place and are taped for television. A new Family Zone will be outdoors this year, which will include a small-scale “120� snowmobile to test drive. Various vendors, including food and beverage, will also be on site. Indoors nearby at the Seneca Allegany Events Center, fans will have the chance to interact with racers and get autographs. Snowmobile gear will be on sale, and the popular Traxxas Try Me Track will return with a course filled with remotecontrolled miniature trucks. Approximately 50 practice, qualifying, and final races will take place each day, including 22 races during both the Friday and Saturday night main events. As many as 15 vehicles will be on the track during a race, and individual races are broken down by age, gender and snowmobile type. In response to the industry’s growth and popularity, Seneca Gaming Corporation and the Seneca Nation of Indians recently provided a $66,850 sponsorship to Snow Bounders, Inc., a local snowmobile association, for the construction and maintenance of a new 1.5-mile snowmobile trail that connects Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel to 90 miles of existing trails in nearby Allegany State Park. “There’s so much to do throughout the whole experience,� Schubitzke said. “It’s highly entertaining, and there’s never a dull moment.�
