Shop Away from the Crowds Small Business Saturday® is November 30 By Jann Wiswall
On this fourth annual Small Business Saturday ®, make your plans to support America’s small businesses and get your holiday shopping done, all while enjoying everything the charming village of Ellicottville and its surrounding area has to offer.
“The importance of shoppers supporting Cattaraugus County’s small businesses on Small Business Saturday and throughout the year is quite simple,” says Lenora Leasure, development specialist and PTAC small business counselor with the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism. “Small businesses are locally owned and operated. Supporting them keeps the money right here, bolstering our economy and strengthening our community.” The Small Business Saturday® campaign was created in 2010 by American Express to encourage Americans to shop at small businesses on the day after the infamous “Black Friday” shopping day. Small businesses make up 99.7 percent of U.S. employer firms, the U.S. Small Business Administration says. They are the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. Yet small retail businesses

At its Nov. 20 meeting, the Town of Ellicottville’s board approved its 2014 budget, which is 6.6 percent lower than the 2013 budget. In his report to the board, Town Supervisor John Burrell also reported that: The town has leased space in the Town Center building to
two artists, Sean Huntington and Patricia Eckstrom, who will use it as studio space. A formal lease agreement was prepared by Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty for the Cornell Cooperative Extension Service’s space in the Town Center building at the organization’s request. The town is getting bids for
new computers and a copier for its staff. The dedication of the Jefferson Street Cemetery’s new plaque indicating its placement on the National Register of Historic Places was well attended and very meaningful to the 40 or more people in attendance. See Town Board page 8

Keis said he is still awaiting estimates from National Grid for installation and operating costs. Keis reported that a Mansfield residential property recently was declared unsafe. The home was inspected at the request of one of the co-owners
of the property. Mansfield’s code enforcement officer, Gil Wiswall, visited the home and observed several building and zoning code violations, as well as fire hazards. The home was vacated on Nov. 8.

New Principal at Helm at Catt-LV
Pavone Began Middle School Tenure in October By Jeff Mar tin
Gayle Pavone has many goals as the newly hired middle school principal for the Cattaraugus-Little Valley School District. Hired in late September and beginning her role officially on Oct. 28, Pavone said her current circumstances are actually more manageable and conducive for success than when she served as director of pupil personnel and students services at the Friendship Central School in Allegany County, a position she held for over a decade. In that role, she oversaw technology, grants, assessment, curriculum and special education. Pavone has also taught kindergarten, third and fifth grades. By being hired as the new middle school principal, other changes were made at Cattaraugus-Little Valley: former middle school principal Tony Giannicchi was moved to the high school principal position, Aaron Wolfe moved from high school to elementary school, and the middle school principal position was filled by Pavone. She was one of 28 applicants who applied for the position, one that requires a bit of multitasking. “I learned to wear a lot of hats there, and it was a great
experience,” Pavone said recently. As the new grade 5-7 middle school principal and director of special education at Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Pavone said her pared-down responsibilities will allow her to concentrate her talents and skills on just two roles. “I’m very excited about this opportunity,” she said. “I’m used to it. With the smaller districts, there’s a need for teachers and administrators to wear multiple hats because of district size and funding and available personnel.” With approximately 1,000 enrolled students at Cattaraugus-Little Valley, the small district sandwiched in a sprawling valley struggles and achieves like many state schools. There are mandates to reach, specifically state standards in core studies, and Pavone feels qualified and experienced enough to help teachers and students alike. “The core standards teachers have to teach and students have to learn are wonderful,” she said, “but the pace isn’t ideal. I’m just doing what I can to give the support they need.” It’s not an easy task. With state funding decreasing to levels that aren’t necessarily supportive for mandates, Pavone said every district, including Cattaraugus-
Little Valley, has to rely on the resources available immediately. In addition to achieving core standards, the district must continue to focus on integrating curriculum and technology, which is another area of experience for Pavone. Yet in most cases, achieving the necessary balance costs districts significant money. “It’s just a matter, again, of working with what we have to our best ability,” she said. Admittedly, Pavone wants, most of all, to spend her first year getting to know staff and students so that a strong relationship can be forged. Helping is the fact that Pavone was born and raised in Kenya, Africa. She moved to the United States when she was 18. It’s that worldview and experience that can sometimes make a difference. “Students and staff both want to hear about it,” she said, chuckling. “And I interject that experience whenever I can.” If nothing else, until all goals are met, Pavone can — and will — concentrate on one very important job requirement: learning everyone’s name, including students’. And just how many has she committed to memory? “I’m getting there,” she said, laughing.

By William Thomas
The Ladies of Laugh & Learn ... Dangerous On the second Sunday of this month, I made the mistake of showing up for a speaking engagement at the Holiday Inn in St. Catharines, Ontario. “Breakfast at 9:00 a.m. then you.” The Laugh & Learn Conference is presented annually by Lioness Clubs of Ontario, with monies going to great causes like training guide dogs and building homes for deaf and blind adults, all under the umbrella of Lion’s Club International. Although I saw very little learning going on, essentially these 150 women had checked into a hotel for three days to get away from their husband and kids. And laugh. Oh how they laughed. Ten minutes into breakfast two things became clear to me. One, these women were completely out of control and tearing apart the seams of society as we know it. And two, I was scared “shirtless” of them. Before I spoke, the treasurer delivered her report ... yeah, I wished. Before I spoke, not one but three Snitch Bitches delivered their reports on the nefarious goings on of the weekend. Yeah, Snitch Bitches, spies in the midst of misbehaving ladies. Several women were scolded and then fined for cheating on their age, lying about their weight and owning up to less glasses of wine than they actually consumed. Janet Dawson Brock who had made the drive from Kitchener to St. Catharines on Friday was introduced. Janet had checked into the hotel early, sent the doorman off to park her car and waited for the fun to begin. Unfortunately, she had checked into White Oaks, a hotel in Niagara-On-TheLake and not this Holiday Inn in St. Catharines. The Snitch Bitches fined her, then doubled the fine because she was the group’s founder and doubled the fine again because she was blond. Yes, doing unbelievably stupid things warrants the harshest punishment from the Snitch Bitches and this part
of their program is sponsored by the Rob Ford Foundation. Not a bad idea, huh? A Snitch Bitch at Toronto City Hall and Rob Ford would be the sole occupant of the Don Jail from now until Etobicoke freezes over. So you can imagine when I finally did get to the microphone, I felt like that guy in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, last summer who was wing walking on a restored WWII Tiger Moth when he heard the engine sputter and die. “Me and 150 women! If memory serves, isn’t that what got Tiger Woods in trouble?!?” “Me and 150 women in the same room and I’m not even Mormon!” I did a bit of a recap of the highlights of the conference beginning with the hot topic at my breakfast table known as last night’s “kilt tilt.” Apparently, this fun-loving group of gals arranged for a Scottish piper to ceremoniously bring them into the gala ballroom the morning before. It was all pomp and circumstance until a 70ish Gertie, a charmer from Beamsville, was unable to curb her curiosity. That’s right, while the Scot was busy with his pipes, Gertie lifted his kilt to sneak a peek at the other one. Straight-faced and looking right at me she said: “That kilt would be the only thing that man could be proud of!” Fearing for my own privacy, I cleared my throat and said: “Now Gertie, you understand I’m wearing pants which are tightly belted.” As casual as can be, she said: “Oh, that wouldn’t stop me.” I moved on quickly to cover what I’ll call the “Scotchgard” incident in which last night’s singing entertainer brought a quiet little lady named June from Tillsonburg up on stage. The man began to sing a love song to June. And it went really well until he experienced a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. Apparently, this guy had been heavily “Scotchgarding” his clothes because June’s hands kept sliding from his waist down to what the ladies like to call “impressive buns.”
The man kept raising June’s hand but it was a long song and that damn Scotchgard and well ... the guy got molested to the hoots and hollers of 149 women who right now, in the same ballroom, could turn on me in a heartbeat. I won’t even describe to you the scene of Nancy from nearby Grantham trying to place a big balloon over the plug of the entertainer’s air compressor as a room full of women clapped and slammed the tables but ... but if the United Nations video showing the correct way to apply a condom fails as badly as Nancy did, we’re in for a severe spike in world population. Although the Snitch Bitches are a scary lot — imagine the Gestapo in spandex — Head Snitch Bitch Evelyn is downright evil. She made it known that she had made a surreptitious trip to Wainfleet last week and caught me, on video no less, doing some pretty insane things. So naturally, I had to fess up in front of them all, admitting that yes, I had smoked crack cocaine but only once, the day Evelyn was filming me and I could not remember what day that was because I was blind drunk at the time and anyway I was sincerely, sincerely, sincerely sorry. That bought me enough time to run out a side entrance and jam a chair up against the door as I fled. I drove out of the parking lot, still perspiring profusely but feeling good like I’d just gotten out of prison. I had survived, I thought, safe and mostly sound. Unlike say Janet Brock who I noticed was still tied to a telephone pole across the street in front of Best Buy. Laugh & Learn — a once-in-alifetime experience for me. To book William as a speaker, go to www.williamthomas.ca and promise, there will be men in the audience.

Solly’s Yoga Classes Seek Ancient Practice Provides Balance By Jeff Mar tin
“Yoga is seeing life the way it is,� is a quote, or Sutra, commonly referenced by those who practice what is generally described as an alternative form of exercise. And life for Laura Solly is pretty darn good at the moment. Solly, who co-owns and manages Daff Dry Goods in Ellicottville, is a 36-year-old Colden native who has her feet firmly placed on both the floor of business and the roof of the physical aesthetic. She is both practical and dreamy, which is a balancing act in this fastpaced world. On the practical side, Solly works her talent at Daff, a clothing store that specializes in men’s and women’s clothing and shoes. There’s a western influence in the apparel, an earthy grounding that compliments her other endeavor: that of yoga instructor. Yet the definition of instructor may be a bit misleading, especially when it comes to yoga, which in spite of the dozens of definitions seeking to clarify it remains elusive. “I’m still learning this ancient practice,� Solly said. “You never really learn it all.� She was first exposed to yoga as a child. Her father practiced it, and as she got older she became more and more interested. Studying English at the University of Montana and the University of New Mexico, she moved back to the area and practiced regularly, eventually enrolling
in a teacher/ training course in East Aurora. She became involved in the family business and, soon after, started offering classes in the back room. It took off. Now, she offers four classes a week — two in the evenings, two in the mornings. She averages anywhere from six to seven students per session. People know of her mainly by word of mouth and social media, specifically Facebook. Classes range in difficulty, from beginner to intermediate. Still, after centuries of practice, yoga remains elusive to most. Many people have preconceived notions of what it is. Many believe it’s just stretching, Solly said, and because of that they believe it has no physical or mental benefits. “It’s wonderful to see how people come in with an idea of what it is and leave with a different idea,� she said. In an effort to define yoga, a quick search shows how there are many compound words containing “yog.�
The word yoga can assume a variety of meanings, including “connection,� “contact,� “application,� “addition� and “performance.� It’s commonly described as a “joining� — that is, a joining of mind and body, which is critical for overall health. Many people engage in the practice without knowing it, Solly said. Stretching in the morning, cracking ones back in an office chair — these are forms of yoga. But to learn the correct and often intensive methods, one needs formal instruction and a place in which to learn it. By engaging in regular practice, Solly has seen people lower stress, minimize health problems and, in a sense, “ground� themselves in a constantly shifting world. Offering yoga in such a village as Ellicottville, where much of its population is seasonal, is a challenge, she said. “I get a lot of different students, and it is a challenge to attract people,� she said. She’s content with how things are going, which may be a mindset directly influenced by the regular practice of yoga. Good or bad? It’s difficult to tell, but life is difficult to translate with any firm certainty. And that’s where yoga becomes so valuable, Solly agrees. For more information about the store or her yoga sessions at Core Performance & Fitness at 33 Bristol Lane, call (716) 699-2293.

The opera is directed by Valerian Ruminski, conducted by Nancy Townsend and features a full chorus, sets, costumes and lighting. Tickets are available for the

the Park, a juried outdoor art festival dedicated to excellence in the visual arts, is held in conjunction with July’s Taste of Olean and features painters, jewelers, photographers, woodworkers, toy makers and many others. More than 150 artists take part in the various exhibition and educational programs offered by the arts council each year. And CCAC’s annual grants programs provide much-needed financial support to non-profit organizations and individual artists. These are just some of the programs and services offered by the arts council. “The arts — music, visual, crafts, etc. — are a critical part of the economic development efforts of our region,” says Conroy-Baiter. “They also contribute to a more balanced life.” To that end, CCAC currently is in the process of reviewing applications for its 2014 decentralization grants program totaling $60,800. The grants, funded by the New York State Council on the Arts, will be awarded in three categories: Community Arts, Artist in the Community and Arts in Education. Last year, grants were made to organizations in Allegany,
Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. In Cattaraugus, some of the grantees included the Chamber Music Society of Olean, the Southern Tier Symphony, Ellicottville Memorial Library’s Winter Theater program and many others. A new grant made to the Council by the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board will allow 20 artists to take part in a six-month program called Arts Business Learning Exchange (ABLE) to learn about online marketing and will fund a three-lecture series. The call for artists to participate is available on the arts council’s Web site. On Nov. 30, CCAC will unveil its refurbished Art on Main — a retail gallery space at the CCAC’s headquarters at 100 Main St. in Allegany. The renovated gallery now features improved lighting and a new point-of-purchase system that simplifies the sales process for CCAC staff. And on Dec. 7, arguably the organization’s most fun event — the 5x7” Exhibition and Sale — will be held at the new Art on Main. This event enables art and gift buyers an opportunity
to purchase original 5x7” paintings for just $25 each. Attendees make their purchase selections based only on what they see on the gallery wall — not based on who created it. Artists are anonymous until the item is purchased, but rest assured that most of the region’s best-known artists are contributing works. Only 300 pieces will be available for purchase, and 30 first-pick tickets will be sold in advance for $50 (not including the $25/painting). After the first-pick ticket holders take their one minute of allotted time to choose their artwork, the rest of the crowd may begin selecting paintings. But be prepared to make your decisions quickly. There’s definitely a rush to the wall once the open shopping period begins. General admission tickets are $15 and include hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. The preview begins at 6 p.m.; first-pick sales begin at 7 p.m.; and the open sale begins at 7:30 p.m. For more information on CCAC, membership, its programs and the 5x7” Exhibition and Sale, visit www.myartscouncil.net.

Small Business Saturday Continued from Front Page
brought in less than 10 percent of the $59 billion spent over the course of last year’s Thanksgiving weekend, according to the National Retail Federation. The rest was spent at big box stores and large brick-and-mortar and online retailers. Across the country, American Express, the Small Business Administration, many major organizations and thousands of communities across the country aim to improve on that share of the busiest shopping weekend of the year by helping to get the word out and providing marketing resources to small retailers. In the end, though, the success of the effort hinges on individuals’ commitment to shop small and shop local. There are many advantages to shopping small. For one thing, small retailers tend to carry unique products – things
you would never find at the mall. That means your gifts are unique and are likely to make a big impression. Small business owners and employees also tend to be more knowledgeable about their inventory and often are more customer service oriented than their counterparts in national chain stores. They also often buy their goods from local sources – meaning what you buy is local too, ensuring that those suppliers also benefit from the “shop smallâ€? effort. All this makes the Ellicottville area the perfect place to shop on November 30 and throughout the holiday season. With dozens of independently owned shops carrying unique dĂŠcor, jewelry, clothing, accessories, art, antiques and gifts, there’s something for everybody on your shopping list. The Village’s sports equipment and technical clothing purveyors
know more about their products than any big sporting goods retailer you might otherwise visit. Specialty chocolates, natural foods, local beers and wines fit under any tree or menorah. Activities offered by local small businesses make great gifts, too. How about gift certificates for horseback trail rides or art classes or a bowling party? Plus, the many local restaurants, salons, B&Bs, inns and lodges also offer gift certificates – and make great spots to rest your feet and prepare for another round of shopping! Jessica Maynard, manager of one of Ellicottville’s newest clothing boutiques, Nouriche, says that there’s something unique about Ellicottville’s small business community. “People really care about the people who live here and those who come to visit.� And, she adds: “The shops have so many
unique items in all price ranges – things that are rare, special or hard to find. You can find most of what you need when you come to Ellicottville.� You’ll also have a lot of fun in the process!

Town Board Meeting Continued from Front Page
Village Mayor Charlie Coolidge and Burrell have been working on redistributing costs for the use of the Village and Town Hall. For many years, each municipality has evenly split the costs for the shared space. Coolidge and Burrell looked at how much square footage is currently used by each and determined that the village now uses only about a third of the space. As a result, the town board will propose that the village will be responsible for 33 percent of the costs. The proposal will be presented to the village board for consideration and, if approved, an agreement will be prepared. Following Burrell’s report, Town of Ellicottville Chief of Police Don Auge said that his office is looking to replace its computers this year, as well as its vehicles’ mobile laptops. Town Engineer Mark Alianello briefed the board on the status of the East Tank Project. All easement agreements with impacted property owners have been signed, new surveys are complete and soil borings are due to be completed soon. The project will go out for bid in February, in time to begin construction in the spring. Alianello also reported that a few issues have come up regarding the new Tim Hortons restaurant on Route 219. One issue is the fact that tractortrailers are parking in both directions along Route 219 near the restaurant instead of pulling into the parking areas. Some trucks are blocking sight lines for vehicles pulling out of the restaurant exits, especially those turning left into the northbound lanes. The State Department of Transportation (DOT) told Alianello that the town may
request “No Parking� or “No Standing� signs if it thinks there is a problem. After discussion, the board asked Alianello to follow up with the DOT to request “No Parking� signage in a few key areas to ensure safety for all vehicles. Another issue Alianello brought up was regarding exterior lighting. The owner used LED lights instead of lights specified in the plan approved by the Ellicottville Town Planning Board. Although the plan was not followed, Alianello said that the LED lights look fine and that there was nothing “malicious� in the owner’s decision to use them. Councilmember John Northrup suggested that the town’s zoning rules related to lighting may be out of date given the many new lighting options now on the market. Alianello thought that may be the case and suggested that the planning board should review the situation. “In any case,� Alianello said, “either the town needs to amend the zoning law or the owner should apply for a variance.� Northrup said he thought both might be appropriate. Harry Weissman, the Town of Ellicottville’s property assessor, reported that he has been fully certified and is taking additional courses to get him up to speed on all aspects of his new position. He has moved his office to the Department of Public Works building on Mill Street and is getting many phone calls, particularly from residents who need information about the STAR exemptions. He plans to put an ad in the local papers explaining how STAR works and who should apply. Town Clerk Robyn George asked the board to approve a
resolution to allow her to add delinquent water bill charges to annual tax bills. The board agreed. In addition, she asked the board to renew a contract for a lockbox used for tax payments, which the board approved. George also said she had attended a training seminar on the new hunting and fishing license structure being introduced by the State Department of Environmental Conservation. Licenses will no longer be bundled, but the system is being simplified, prices for licenses are being lowered and fishing licenses will be good for one year from the date of purchase. Finally, Councilmember Ken Hinman and Alianello reported that there has been good progress on the proposed Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail. The trail planner is nearing completion of the master plan. Verbal agreements have been obtained from all property owners along the proposed route between the Nannen Arboretum and Tim Horton’s allowing rights of way. The trail committee recently applied for a small grant to support efforts to raise awareness about the project as they wait for news on the application for a much larger grant through the DOT, which has made a second site visit as it considers the proposal. And a raffle is under way to raise funds for the trail. Two raffle winners will win bikes contributed by the Ellicottville Bike Shop/Bike and Bean. Hinman said ticket sales are going well and will continue through the Christmas Stroll. The next meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board will be held on Dec. 18 at 6 p.m. at the Village and Town Hall.

Donations Sought for Another Season of Project Christmas
(Reprinted from ECS Oct.Nov. 2013 Newsletter)
Project Christmas started back in the early 1960s and, through the combined efforts of Ellicottville Central School employees and community members, it continues to provide an “extra touch� at Christmas time for many of our local families. This “partnership� between the school and community will provide food, gifts, necessities and support to more than 50 families and 65 senior citizens who live in our community. The program spends between $5,000 to $6,000 annually due to the generous support residents and seasonal visitors provide by taking “gift tags�
from one of the gift trees throughout the community located at Ellicottville Pharmacy, M & T Bank, Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and Five Star Bank. Students in grades K-12 also get involved by bringing in nonperishable food items, with seniors also involved with the delivery. With the difficult economic troubles we are facing and many families struggling to get by, the need for help throughout our community is even greater. Project Christmas is once again
accepting donations; if you are able to contribute please consider making a donation. Your support will directly help those in need in our own community. Monetary donations can be made out to “Project Christmas� and mailed to: Ellicottville Central School, ATTN: Kim Watt, School Nurse, 5873 Route 219, Ellicottville, NY 14731. If you have any questions regarding the program, please call Nurse Watt at (716) 6992318. Your generous support in the past has helped to keep this program alive. Thank you!

the town’s Planning Board. Because town board member Bob Schmidt was absent, Keis suggested waiting until the December meeting to have a full discussion, but asked if anyone had any initial comments. Board member James Hammond asked if a proposed fee of $100 for a building “permit after construction has started� was actually a fine. Keis replied that it is not a fine since no court appearance would be required, but that it
is intended as a deterrent to starting construction without a permit. Hammond also asked if fees for sheds should be included. Keis said he thought that was covered by the fees/ square foot instructions included in the proposed list, but that he would confirm that with the Planning Board. Board member Nancy Meeder pointed out that fees for junk yards were missing from the list. Keis said he would check with the Planning Board on that, as well.
Brad Hurley, acting highway superintendent, reported that all plumbing work has been completed for offices, restrooms and the break room in the new highway department garage. As soon as final electrical work is done, hopefully by the end of the week, the new building can be fully occupied and the temporary trailer can be decommissioned. The next meeting of the Town of Mansfield board will be held on Dec. 16 at 7 p.m.

Ellicottville Cantata presents Two Concerts On Sunday, Dec. 15, the 35-piece Ellicottville Choir will give two performances of the newly composed cantata by Lloyd Larson, “Behold the Star.” The first performance will be at 3 p.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at 6360 Route 242 in Ellicottville. This concert will open with the St. Paul’s Dulcimer Choir, followed by a brief intermission before concluding with the Cantata. The second performance will be at 7 p.m. at the United Church at 53 Elizabeth Street in the village of Ellicottville. It will open with the Celtic Group “Versatility,” and following a brief intermission will continue with the Christmas Cantata “Behold the Star.” A reception in the church hall will follow the performance. The choir voted to give
two performances this year to accommodate the growing audience and to make it possible for town merchants to attend (after closing their shops for the day). The goodwill offering that will be taken during the intermission at both performances will help to defray the cost of the music as well as contribute to the Ellicottville Community Food Pantry held at the United Church. This year’s volunteer choir has been rehearsing for 90 minutes each Sunday since Oct. 27. Annette Ieda, the director, commented that after only four rehearsals she could tell that the choir had become a working unit of blending voices and cooperative attitudes. “We are helping each other achieve beautiful music for the Christmas season,” she stated
after rehearsal. “Music brings unity to the community, so what better way to celebrate than to bring together singers from the area so that the audience can hear the words of scripture put so beautifully into the music!” She also added, “Directing the Community Choir has become my passion. It is one of the highlights the Advent Season for me. I am blessed to have wonderful voices and kind hearts to work with, as well as a talented accompanist, Nikki White (from East Aurora!). It is my fourth season to do this!” “It is time to get the word out that this year’s performances are going to be outstanding, and well worth the effort to attend! Please come and enjoy the fruits of our labors!” said Ieda.

Run or Walk for a Great Cause on Thanksgiving Day By Alicia Dziak
Thanksgiving is a time to enjoy your family and friends, and appreciate everything that you have. It’s also a time to remember those who may not have as much, including basics like food. In an effort to collect food for those in need, local towns are hosting runs and walks to get the communities involved in helping out this holiday season. All around the state, people will be waking up on Thanksgiving Day and heading out the door for a morning run. Of course, the big Turkey Trot in Buffalo will be held on this day, bringing thousands of runners to the streets of downtown. But if you’re looking for something on a smaller scale, that might be a better option for those with kids, two similar races will be held nearby. The annual YMCA Turkey Trot 5K Walk/Run will be held
at St. Bonaventure University on Thanksgiving morning. Registration will be held from 8–8:45 a.m. in Murphy Auditorium, and the race begins at 9 a.m. There is no entry fee, but participants are asked to bring one nonperishable food item to be donated to the local food pantry. There will also be a 50/50 raffle and turkeys to the first male/female runner and first walker across the finish line. For more information, call (716) 701-1330. Gobble for Groceries is a 2-mile walk or 3.6-mile fun run that benefits the Springville Community Kitchen. The race, held at 9 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, begins and ends at the Trading Post Community Care Center at 38 Franklin St. in the village of Springville. The traditional set entry fee is replaced with a “fee” of a bag of nonperishable grocery items or a cash donation.
“Gobble for Groceries is a wonderful opportunity to help the community,” said Suzanne Ehlers of Springville, who participated in the run last year. “It was a fun run for the whole family!” “It was fun to run with my mom,” added Ehlers’ daughter, Sara. Post-race refreshments donated by local businesses will be available inside the Trading Post, and T-shirts will be available for purchase. For more information, call (716) 592-4455. Thanksgiving Day runs are a great way to enjoy the crisp autumn air and burn off some of the calories you’ll consume later in the day, all while participating in a great cause. Round up some friends and family members, and make it a new Thanksgiving tradition. You’ll be home well before the turkey is done!

Santa Claus Lane Parade Nov. 29 An Annual Family Tradition
OLEAN — With just a week to go until the parade, officials from Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce have registered more than 30 units for the upcoming Santa Claus Lane Parade on Friday, Nov. 29 in which Santa Claus lights thousands of lights in downtown Olean. The everpopular parade is the official kickoff to the holiday season in the area. Pam Caldwell, GOACC’s Official Lights Coordinator stated, “We are fortunate that Santa will make his stop once again this year to the City of Olean and take part in the Santa Claus Lane Parade on Friday November 29th. Our gratitude and appreciation also go to the City of Olean’s employees who have dedicated time and effort over the past 27 years to assist us in bringing joy and happiness to our residents and more importantly to our children.” This year’s parade judges are Al Wager, National Grid Co.; Paula Snyder, Jamestown Community College; Max
Bullers, Home Depot of Olean; and Lori Babcock of Microtel Inn of Olean. The judges will be located in front of Blue Bird Square. Winners will be announced the night of the parade. Eight awards will be presented in the following categories: the Elves Award, Angelic Spirit Award, Blitzed Award, Jingle Bells Award, Rudolph Award, Season’s Greetings Award, and the Snowflake Award. New this year — the Sleigh Award. North Union Street will close to traffic at 6 p.m. The city’s downtown parking lots will be opened. The City Building’s restrooms will be opened the night of the parade from 6–8:30 p.m. Extra uniformed personnel of the Olean Fire and Police Departments will be on hand. Lost children should report to the Chamber office, and a wheelchair only section will be roped off in front of the Chamber office/City Building. New this year, local performer Dawn Elizabeth will sing a host of Christmas
carols with the assistance of WPIG sound system near the four corners. The Bent Brass Ensemble will perform from 6:30–7:15 p.m. near Blue Bird Square. Paul Brown Dodge will be in the first part of the parade with their Toys for Tots Truck – once the truck passes the Chamber storefront, the truck will park near the four corners and Paul Brown Dodge encourages all attendees to drop off an unwrapped new toy for children for the Christmas season. The parade is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29, near the Burger King on North Union Street in Olean. The parade will travel south on Union to just past Lincoln Park, where units will begin to disperse once they arrive at Henley Street. For more information regarding Santa Claus Lane or other Greater Olean Area events and activities, please call (716) 372-4433 or email santa@oleanny.com.

ECS Board Continued from Front Page
nearly 40 students have expressed interest in going on the trip out of a class of 58. Pricing has not yet been determined as it varies depending on the number of students who sign up. The good news, though, is that BOCES will help support the cost of tickets for the Blue Man Group performance and the Shedd Aquarium, which will reduce the cost to students and their families. Pending board approval, she said, final pricing will be worked out. The board was unanimously supportive of the plan and approved the request. Superintendent Mark Ward said this is the first ECS senior class to plan a trip to the Windy City. Ward reported on a number of other important topics at the meeting. First, the list of All-Star and All-State athletes has not yet been announced, but several ECS students are expected to make one or more lists. Volleyball player Courtney Scanlon, who may well make both lists, has signed a letter of intent to play Division I volleyball at Stony Brook University. Scanlon is the first ECS student to sign for a collegiate Division I sport. Ward also reported that many schools in Section 6 are considering merging sports teams for competitive reasons. Many schools in the area are losing enrollment, which makes it difficult for them to continue fielding JV and Varsity sports teams. In Ellicottville, the football team merged with West Valley last year, but West Valley only added one player to the team. Ward does not expect to merge with West Valley again, but is considering merging with a different school if there is mutual interest. ECS also faces the challenge of finding locations to practice and play basketball and volleyball in 2014-15 while the school is under construction. Alternate locations to hold performances and concerts also need to be identified. Ward is speaking with superintendents in other districts about how this might work. School
ECS student Courtney Scanlon signed a letter of intent to play Division I volleyball at Stony Brook University.
Board Member Steve Crowley mentioned that the newly renovated auditorium in Ellicottville’s Town Center (the former Extension Service Building) might be an option for smaller performances and events. Ward said he would look into that option. In other business, Ward said that ECS is fully prepared for snow season, with salt, sand and vehicles at the ready. He also noted that the new fencing around the dumpsters has been installed. He also said that the board’s Building and Grounds Committee had received five bids for appraisal of the 120 acres of vacant land that the school owns behind and above the school adjacent to state land and Holiday Valley. They recommended accepting the $2,900 bid from Rochester appraisal firm Bruckner, Tillett, Rossi, Cahill & Associates. The board agreed. The board also approved a proposal to hire seven parents, teachers and staff to serve as Odyssey of the Mind coaches this year. Six teams already have formed — three in elementary school, two in middle school and one in high school. Colleen Bower, who served as team coordinator last year, will serve in that role again this year. ECS had budgeted for only five teams this year, but the cost of adding another team is minimal ($356) and, the board agreed, is worth the cost in order to
allow all interested students the opportunity to participate in the unique learning experience. The board also approved appointment of five homework club advisors for the 2013-14 school year and 12 substitute advisors. Elementary School Principal Connie Poulin said that the first report cards of the year went out last week. Generally, she was pleased with the results, especially among a cohort of sixth grade girls who showed big improvements in their GPAs. “This group is showing signs of academic competitiveness,” she said, which is a very good sign at this age. Poulin also noted that she has begun APPR-required teacher observations for the year and that they are going smoothly. She said that now that teachers and staff know what to expect, there is more comfort with the process. Ward reported on behalf of Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller, who was absent, that students had been busy over the past few weeks. Eight students went to a math competition at JCC, 16 students visited Olean’s Challenger Center, and numerous students had a tour of BOCES programs. The next meeting of the ECS School Board will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m. in the High School Library. All are welcome to attend.

OF
THOUGHT
BY JEFF MARTIN
Thanksg iving has always been my favorite holiday. I think this has to do with the fact that it’s a holiday meant for most everyone and has few, if any, relig ious undertones. Heavy meaning aside, Thanksg iving is simply a day to take stock of what and who is in your life and be thankful for it. I just wish that Black Friday, and the retailers who control it, wasn’t encroaching on Thanksg iving so much, but that’s another column entirely (perhaps next week’s subject?). For now, I would like to list some of the things and people and places that I’m thankful for. My apolog ies if this list reads like someone with attention def icit. I’m thankful for my health, which at this point appears to be relatively stable and good. I’m thankful for the earth, which provides air to breathe, water to drink, g round to stand upon — and wonders to experience and treasure. I’m thankful for my two sons. While they live far away, I’m thankful I have the means inside me to imag ine them close. I’m thankful for my g irlfriend, the person closest to me and who, unfortunately, is the recipient of my worst traits, which I am not thankful for. I’m thankful to my sister and her husband, both of whom have always been there for me even when I wasn’t looking. I’m thankful for my mother and father, also for reasons cited above. I’m thankful for books, which provide me with education and escapism. I’m thankful for my car, which provides me with freedom and escapism. I’m thankful for my nation’s freedom. I’m thankful to those who f ight for our freedom. I’m thankful for sports, which bring out all that is virtuous in human beings. I’m thankful for the four seasons, which provoke our perceptions into wakefulness. I’m thankful for coffee. I’m thankful for extra, extra sharp cheddar cheese. I’m thankful for technolog y, which, among other things, provides me video access to my two sons. I’m thankful for my legs, which provide me the means to hike and disappear into the surrounding forests. I’m thankful for my eyes, which see the forest. I’m thankful for libraries, which provide me access to books and music I could otherwise not afford to own. I’m thankful for Chinese buffets, which provide me with options in abundance. I’m thankful for the Ellicottville Times, which allows me to write for print, a practice I engaged in full time for nearly 12 years. I’m thankful for my editors, both of whom recog nize the proper use of a comma. I’m thankful for my job, for it helps me truly appreciate what I do have. Lately, I’m thankful for my free nicotine patches, for obvious reasons. I’m thankful for my weirdness, which makes me unique. I’m thankful for my budding patience, a condition that requires impatience f irst before it can g row. I’m thankful for memory. Most of the time.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, I’d like to extend a sincere thanks to Holiday Valley Resort for hosting the Routes to Art Holiday Sale this past Saturday at their beautiful new lodge in Ellicottville. Against the backdrop of the stunning slopes, visitors perused unique artwork from some of the region’s most talented artists, and the new sun-filled lodge proved to be the perfect setting for the event. The Routes to Art program, an annual open-studio tour, highlights the work of fine artists and artisans working in and around the Cattaraugus region, and throughout the past seven years, Holiday Valley has been an outstanding partner in this endeavor. Each year the resort hosts artists during the May open studio weekend and this year was the home of the Holiday Sale, allowing 28 of these artists to gather under one roof to exhibit and sell their work. Special thanks go to Jane Eshbaugh, Director of Marketing, and Diane Althans, Conference Sales Administrator at Holiday Valley who made the event possible. Our gratitude as well to the fantastic resort facilities staff who were so accommodating and attentive during the entire weekend. The arts council is extremely grateful for our partnership with Holiday Valley as we work together to enhance quality of life in our region. Anne Conroy-Baiter Executive Director, Cattaraugus County Arts Council

Flicks and Tricks Start the Season Right

Start the season with some winter-is-almost-here events to get the in the spirit. A 2013 winner at the Tribeca Film Festival, “McConkey,” is one of the must-see movies of the season and it’s showing at The Depot on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 8 p.m.
Now carrying LG Appliances!
“This is a super powerful movie about the life and death of Shane McConkey, that won’t leave a dry eye in the room for those who know what his legacy is,” said Morgan. Admission is free but the event is a fundraiser to benefit the Shane McConkey Foundation. The event is sponsored by The City Garage, Holiday Valley, K2 Skis, Mountain Hardware and Red Bull. Another great movie, Nike’s “Never Not,” will be playing at The Depot at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 20, and is presented by The Boardroom, Nike
Snowboarding and Holiday Valley. Morgan said this one is a two-part movie with incredible cinematography that takes viewers on a global journey with the Nike snowboarding team as they chase the dream. If you couldn’t hang with the Line Traveling Circus last year, there’s good news! The crew will return to Holiday Valley on Jan. 26 when Andy Parry brings back his free-ski athlete tour. Boarders can meet in the rail park at 10 a.m. and shred for the day, then enjoy a signing and after-party at The City Garage.
