Cheers! Salud! Slainte! Prost! No matter how you say it, this weekend will celebrate fine craft beers and regional wines. As it is every year, the ever-popular 10th annual Beer and Wine Festival at Holiday Valley is already sold out, but don’t dismay. You can still join the merriment at the sixth annual Brew Master’s Dinner on Friday evening, Nov. 8. The beer and foodpairing event, will feature the unbelievable flavor combinations of nationally recognized craft beers and classic seasonally focused, locally sourced cuisine. The event is an informal and intimate meet-and-greet, and brewers will be on hand to discuss each beer with you and explain the pairing decisions. New this year — food items will be grown and purchased from within a 60-mile radius of Holiday Valley and will be served at five food stations. “We’re really excited about the Brewer’s Dinner this year with local fresh foods,” said Jane Eshbaugh, marketing director of Holiday Valley. “This is a direction we’re heading for John Harvard’s, too. Get the brewers to start talking about their beer and you can learn a lot!” Appetizers include Amish Valley View cheeses, Welch rarebit from Cuba Cheese and local smokehouse sausages

Ellicottville Sports Round-Up

Eagles Varsity Sports Teams Produced 2 Wins and 2 Losses by Todd Palmatier

Ellicottville Varsity Volleyball finished a fine season on the heels of their state title, although they lost in the semifinals to Randolph. They are only losing two players next year— seniors Courtney Scanlon and Kayla Dunkleman, who both put in great seasons for the Lady Eagles. The remaining squad will return for the 2014

season. Ellicottville Varsity Football moved up a division this year from DD to D, and although they did not make it to Ralph Wilson Stadium this year, they had a lot of positives come out of the season. The Eagles, under their first-year coach, Chad Bartoszek, beat back some larger schools this season. The team played many of the games without key players who their we injured, but still found ways to win were or be competitive with larger teams. The ou outlook for football looks great as we move fo forward and continue to grow in popularity wi the youth in Ellicottville. Senior with fo football players Corey Tomblin and Dylan Pa Paprocki were recognized by Section 6 and Cr Fit Football during two home games Cross See ECS Varsity Sports page 8

Change Makeup of Mansfield Board Voters Approve Casino Proposal

By Jann Wiswall

Voters throughout New York State decided for the controversial ballot proposal to authorize up to seven staterun casinos. In Mansfield, the final determination of winners depends on the results of absentee ballots, which will not be counted until early next week.

The casino amendment won by a statewide margin of 57 percent. In the 55 districts in Cattaraugus County, however, 59 percent of voters were against the proposal. All other counties in Western New York, including Allegany, Chautauqua, Erie, Niagara, Orleans and Wyoming Counties, also voted against

the gaming measure. In Mansfield, Patriot Party candidate Gregory L. Meyer likely will take a seat on the board in January. He received 119 votes, or 27.1 percent of votes cast. Patriot Party candidate Larry A. Johnson, with 111 votes, and incumbent Republican candidate James See Election 2013 page 9

Ellicottville Veterans Day Celebration at Town Hall Let Us Never Forget What They Have Done By Mary Fox

Veterans of the United States Military are everywhere. You can recognize them by their ball caps, bumper stickers, license plate emblems or pins on their lapels, all of which they display proudly. Two days a year, we publically show our gratitude

to the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. On Memorial Day in May, we remember the men and women who died while serving. On Veterans Day, we celebrate the service of all military veterans. Veterans have served during wartime — WWII, The

Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Operation Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa — and during peace time all over the world. The armistice ending World War I between Germany and the Allied Nations was signed on Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m., See Veterans Day page 4

Headstands for Humanity • Photos by Jennie Acklin

196 Headstanders at H4H

Lounsbury Adaptive and EVGV Trail Beneficiaries In their first-ever charity event on a cold and dreary November day this past weekend, Headstands for Humanity (H4H) put on a widely successful community event that drew all kinds of inverted participants, yet came up a bit short in their bid to break the Guinness World Record for “most people doing headstands simultaneously in one place” at Holiday Valley Resort. With the record sitting idle at 265 people, 196 headstanders and friends arrived with full intentions of going down in the record books, but fell short of their sights by about 100 participants needed to have a legitimate chance at the mark. The drizzly day did not dampen the vibe or the spirits of all who attended, as was easily seen by the all the smiling faces and the positive feeling that was evident. There were fire trucks, TV and newspapers, a DJ, food, hosts of volunteers and sponsors, photos, and FUN involving all who attended. Donations/ pledges were also graciously given by all participants and many event goers to our event

beneficiaries — the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski/Board Program at Holiday Valley and the EVGV Trail Fund. Overall, it was extraordinarily fun and positive and quite different to experience and witness, and it is surely to grow in scope for the next attempt at the record in 2014. H4H has announced next year’s event date to be Oct. 4, 2014, at Holiday Valley Resort, so mark it on your calendars. Mike Paterniti, H4H founder and event organizer, said, “The design of the event is to always be during the school year, so as to get more children and youth involved with their schools in the region through preapproved school fundraising pledge drives and to make it a school-sanctioned event. Kids are what the event is all about, and from what we saw Saturday, this is so true. Youths between the ages of 5 and 15 made up over half of the event participants and it was so good to see all the adults as their inner child again!” Two of the many inspirational stories included the Bradford Flames Gymnastics Team, who brought a bus of 55 gymnasts

and five coaches, and raised over $800, after paying for their own bus with a portion of the pledge money they raised only one week before the event! Also, local friend and barber, Jonny Barber, not only was a $100 business sponsor, but also raised another $130 dollars in pledges, as well! Holiday Valley and H4H will be giving a prize for both of these amazing efforts and showing of support. Each participant was given a complimentary H4H T-shirt and original H4H headstand pads for their show of support. Preliminary numbers have the event grossing nearly $4,000, yet there was nearly $2,000 in expenses, largely due to the inability to find a T-shirt sponsor. That leaves approximately $2,000 (and growing) to disperse among the designated charities! This will officially be tallied, announced and given to the beneficiaries next week. H4H headstand pads ($5) and T-shirts ($10) in sizes L, XL and 2XL, are also being sold to raise the overall donation totals. Call Mike Paterniti at (814) 558-0251

or email him at mikep@ headstandsforhumanity.com to get yours today! In case you missed your chance to be there and would still like to contribute to these worthy causes, donations are still being accepted for the event’s charities until Sunday, Nov. 10 at midnight. To donate, just go to www. headstandsforhumanity.com/ donate or send a check to: Mike Paterniti/H4H, 116 Congress St., Box 30, Bradford, PA 16701. H4H would like to give a special thank you to all the sponsors and wonderful souls from the town and village of Ellicottville and the surrounding area who helped make this day possible and so much FUN!

Veterans Day Continued from Front Page

marking the end of the “war to end all wars.” In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as Armistice Day to honor the veterans, living and dead, who had served in the Great War. “To us in America,” President Wilson said, “the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.” On June 4, 1926, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution,

including the words, “Whereas, the 11th of November 1918 marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed …” officially recognizing the end of World War I. In 1954, after WWII and the Korean Conflict, the 83rd Congress amended the proclamation changing the name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day, “a day to honor veterans of all wars.” In Ellicottville on Veteran’s Day, we honor all those who served in the United States Armed Forces with a ceremony

You know you’re from Wainfleet if ... I didn’t want to do it, I really didn’t want to do it, you made me ... No, not you. Former advertising genius and now a Fleeter, Wayne Hughes sent me an email yesterday that read: “You know you’re from Wainfleet if you notice all the recycled cans have bullet holes in them.” No, not this year I said to myself. The hay has been bailed, the cottages closed up and the Mounties reported one of the best grow-op crops in history as they were burning it to the ground. The big pipe is long dead and septic holding tanks are popping up like tulips in the spring. The illegal Saturday night fireworks are gone, the perch are big and plentiful and our one and only traffic light is performing flawlessly. The people are content, I said to myself, why get them all riled with that stupid “You know you’re from Wainfleet if ...” column. And then I saw a guy stopped at the end of my driveway, in a car 10 years newer than mine and he was going through my recycle box picking out the refundable wine bottles.

LITTLE VALLEY, NY — During the month of November, all eight CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank) locations will display red wagons. The red wagon is the national symbol of “America’s Promise” (a nationwide program that focuses on improving the lives of America’s youth). The wagons will serve as depositories for public donations of new hats and mittens. Local groups and schools will receive and distribute the donations. CCB joined America’s Promise in 1999 and is helping to ensure that children receive the five resources the organization believes children

The ceremony includes a short message, the placing of a wreath on the Veterans Memorial and firing of a salute by the honor guard made up of all ages and services. No one is immune from consequences of war. We all suffer in different ways during those times, but no one gives more than our military men and women who participate in the conflict. Let us never forget what they have done and are doing for us. Honor our veterans every day with your thanks and prayers, and show your gratitude next Monday, Nov. 11 at the Veterans Day ceremony.

If you’re a JFK buff like me, 2013 marks 50 years since he was g unned down in Dallas on a sunny day. I like conspiracy theories, and anyone with a passing interest in such theories can’t help but be fascinated by the JFK assassination. Was he killed by the lone g unman Lee Oswald, or was he the victim of a larger storyline — the mob, the very government he led, the Russians, the Cubans. I bring this up because I recently f inished Stephen King’s novel “11/22/63,” an ambitious work that’s sure to entertain readers during the long, cold winter here in Western New York. Clocking in over 800 pages, the novel follows a protagonist who discovers a portal into the past and who plans to stop the assassination before it happens. Of course, there are subplots, all of which do a splendid job at answering the question, “Should you change the past?” When King is good, he’s fantastic, sprinkling his stories with questions that make you think and plot lines and happenings that are just good old-fashioned entertainment. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve tired of King for the most part, but this book surprised me; it felt like he had found his old voice again after many years. The work doesn’t answer any of the several questions that surround the assassination. If anything, King appears to support the lone g unman theory, but I suspect that, in order to make the plot work, King had to subscribe to the lone g unman theory. King was a child of the ‘60s, and it’s hard to imag ine him, all these years later, believing what I personally feel was a government cover-up. I’d love to know what you, readers of the Ellicottville Times, think of the assassination. Was Oswald the lone g unman, or was he just “the patsy,” as he claimed? Another book I’ve picked up is “The Black Count,” a Pulitzer Prize-winning biog raphy for 2013. Written by Tom Reiss, the work tells the story of Alexandre Dumas, a mixed-race general of the French Revolution. I’m half way through with the work and so far, it’s a glorious examination of the man who, years later, would serve as the main model for the novel, “The Count of Monte Cristo,” written by Dumas’s son. I’ve always stood in awe of writers who can condense massive amounts of history into readable accounts that inform and entertain, and Reiss achieves this. It’s not easy to tell the story of the French Revolution in ways that are easily understood and digestible. The more I read of history, the more it interests me, which I believe is the price of getting older. Or the reward. So with that I’ll leave you, readers, with a couple of books I feel you should pick up. The leaves are falling, the frost is frosty and the snow is coming to bury us all very soon. There’s nothing like a good book or two in the winter. (Email Jeff at jwmartin38@g mail.com and let him know what you think about his book suggestions.)

“The Longest Ride” by Nicholas Sparks

Ira Levinson is in trouble. At 91 years old, in poor health and alone in the world, he n himself stranded on an isolated embankment after a car crash. Suffering multiple finds inj injuries, he struggles to retain consciousness until a blurry image materializes and co comes into focus beside him: his beloved wife Ruth, who passed away nine years ag Urging him to hang on, she forces him to remain alert by recounting the stories ago. of their lifetime together — how they met, the precious paintings they collected to together, the dark days of WWII and its effect on them and their families. Ira knows th Ruth can’t possibly be in the car with him, but he clings to her words and his that m memories, reliving the sorrows and everyday joys that defined their marriage. A few miles away, at a local bull-riding event, a Wake Forest College senior’s life is about to change. Recovering from a recent break-up, Sophia Danko meets a young cowboy named Luke, who bears little resemblance to the privileged frat boys she has encountered at school. Through Luke, Sophia is introduced to a world in which the stakes of survival and success, ruin and reward — even life and death — loom large in everyday life. As she and Luke fall in love, Sophia finds herself imagining a future far removed from her plans — a future that Luke has the power to rewrite . . . if the secret he’s keeping doesn’t destroy it first.

drinking and condoning illegal activity. We have cited at least two adults for violations of this law.â&#x20AC;? As part of the HCC grant, the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department is documenting and tracking results of its efforts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing improvements,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re making more DWI arrests, which is a very strong deterrent.â&#x20AC;? This information is shared with HCC to help pinpoint areas of the county that have the biggest problems with underage drinking and develop strategies and tactics that can be used to reduce it. HCC Coordinator Catherine Speroni says that deterrence is a critical strategy in the effort to curb the problem, which is why the grant was made. Other strategies HCC is using include educational programs for children in targeted age groups, educating parents about how to talk to their kids about underage drinking, and providing tools for other youth-oriented groups in their efforts to educate both children and adults. Healthy Cattaraugus County (HCC) is a coalition of groups representing business, media, parents, youth, law enforcement, religious, tribal, local government, educators, healthcare, civic or volunteer groups and other youth serving agencies whose goal is to educate the underage sector in Cattaraugus County to make smarter, healthier choices. Its mission is to â&#x20AC;&#x153;foster the collaboration of resources to create a community where all youth can develop into caring, healthy and productive adults without the problems created by underage drinking.â&#x20AC;?

Law enforcement has a major role to play in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to reduce underage drinking, but until recently, the Cattaraugus County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department has had limited resources to put toward the task. Now, with a $100,000 grant from Healthy Cattaraugus County (HCC): A Drug Free Coalition, the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deputies are on patrol at key times to help keep underage drinking under control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think of this as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;educational enforcement,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Dave Schuman, a lieutenant with the patrol division of the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is not to jam up the kids, but to let them know that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re watching and that, when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re under 21 and drinking, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking risks that can cost them in many ways well into adulthood.â&#x20AC;? According to HCC, those risks include everything from health and brain development issues to expensive legal problems, difficulties in school and dealing with the consequences of making bad choices. Consider these facts. Youth who drink alcohol are more likely to experience: School problems, such as higher absence and poor or failing grades. â&#x20AC;˘ Social problems, such as fighting and lack of participation in youth activities. â&#x20AC;˘ Legal problems, such as arrest for driving or physically hurting someone while drunk. â&#x20AC;˘ Physical problems, such as hangovers or illnesses. â&#x20AC;˘ Unwanted, unplanned and unprotected sexual activity. â&#x20AC;˘ Disruption of normal growth and sexual development. â&#x20AC;˘ Physical and sexual assault. â&#x20AC;˘ Higher risk for suicide and homicide.

â&#x20AC;˘ Alcohol-related car crashes and other unintentional injuries. â&#x20AC;˘ Memory problems. For its part, the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office is making a point to be more visible on known party nights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Allegany, Thursday is a big party night for St. Bonaventure students. So we put extra patrols there,â&#x20AC;? said Schuman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Friday and Saturday nights weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the festivals and community events, as well as out looking for underage parties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly in the rural areas where there are no town or village police forces. Sunday nights are big party nights, too, especially in the Amish communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hope is that if they know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out there watching for them, maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll decide the risk is too great and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll choose other, healthier activities to keep them entertained.â&#x20AC;? Schuman acknowledged that kids who are determined to drink and party will find ways to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get fake IDs or their older siblings buy alcohol for them. They learn how to hide what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll move the party if they have to. But we get tips by phone or email, so we try to keep up,â&#x20AC;? he said. Schuman said that parents can be a huge part of the solution, but that sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of the problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some parents shrug their kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drinking off as something kids just do. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We did it when we were their age,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; many of them say. While it is legal for parents to serve alcohol to their own children in their own homes, it is illegal to allow other children to drink there or provide them with alcohol. In that case, they are not providing a safe place for kids to drink â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re promoting underage

Ten year old Megan Young and her family have a vacation home in Ellicottville. During Fall Festival, Megan and her friends, Millard Young, Nick Critelli, Natalie Critelli and Alayna Susfolk, sold lemonade to people walking into town. She raised $236.64 which she is donating to the Holiday Valley Lounsbury Adaptive Program. When asked why she was doing this Megan said, “I just wanted to do something to help.” Way to go, Megan!

Construction Under Way The Springville Center for the Arts recently acquired a building at 5 East Main Street, a dilapidated, but historic structure that had been vacant for years. It plans to create an Arts Café in the building, with a coffee shop, a gallery and artist residency spaces. According to Seth Wochensky, the Center’s director, the Café will have a publicly accessible “green roof” on the building where vegetables and flowers will grow. There will be a “gray water” collection system which will be used to irrigate the gardens and other efforts will be made to make the building as green as possible, within the confines of historic building status rules. After a delay related to asbestos, the interior demolition of the space is nearly complete. Next steps include some emergency masonry work on the lower rear facade, completion of the internal engineering and then building that structure up to and including the roof membrane.

Letter to the Editor:

A Heartfelt Thank You We would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank You” for all the prayers, flowers and visitors and well wishes received while Charlie, our husband, father and grandfather, was in Buffalo General Hospital for his open heart surgery. The outpouring of support and caring helped make this frightening time in our lives easier to bare. He is well on the road to recovery and all that has been done is dearly appreciated. Thank You.

has had a strong local focus, using a local team of engineers, designers, contractors and tradespeople. She said project engineer Carl Calarco has been “a great help guiding the project through the local planning board approval processes, designing of site infrastructure, in addition to the structural building design in concert with the architectural team.” “As a family, we have enjoyed many wonderful times in Ellicottville, and we wanted to build a development accessible to families, like ours, to introduce them to the Ellicottville lifestyle,” said McNally. Te family-friendly Glen Burn Trail development offers flexible floor plans that will appeal to current Ellicottville residents that may want to

downsize, as well as to visitors who want a home base while in Ellicottville, without the maintenance demands of a single family home. The customer’s lifestyle drives the way the unit is organized. McNally said the exterior design of the units will be consistent to keep a community feeling throughout the site. Units will be priced from $250,000, based on lot size, the level of finishes and amenities selected by the purchaser. She explained, “Options will include underfloor heating, air conditioning, etc. Garages are available for all owners in the duplexes and owners of the end units in the triplexes.” Tailored kitchen and bathroom design services will be provided by Cabinet World in Olean. As a townhome community,

Glen Burn Trail’s residents will be members of a homeowners’ association that manages the commonly held property like the roadway, parking spaces and landscaped areas. Patti Crist of Resort Association Management will oversee this property. In addition, the project will be connected to the future Ellicottville–Great Valley Trail, a multi-use trail that will connect schools, businesses and merchants throughout the area and will provide a safe, traffic-free way to commute to work, ride bikes, run and just enjoy the beautiful outdoors. McNally said, “I think the trail will be a great amenity to the town as well as residents in Glen Burn Trail. Being able to connect from the development’s sidewalk and join up with the trail will be fabulous — what a

great thing for the community of Ellicottville and Glen Burn Trail!” Stop by the Open House this weekend and you can tour the completed modern country style unit and walk through the two other partially finished model units. Cathy and Melanie Pritchard of ERA Team Pritchard Real Estate are the designated sales team for the project and they are welcoming clients now. “We are very proud to present Glen Burn Trail to the people who live and love Ellicottville and hope they will come down to our Open House this weekend to see for themselves the quality of design and construction that we have put into every element of the project,” said McNally.

ECS Varsity Sports Continued from Front Page

this year. Ellicottville Varsity Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Soccer teams both won Section 6 titles last Friday night. The boys got the proverbial â&#x20AC;&#x153;monkey off their backsâ&#x20AC;? and beat back North Collins 1-0 in Hamburg, behind Conner Greeneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone goal. The teams move on to the Far West regionals this week. They will play against Jasper-Troupsburg in Rochester on Friday, Nov. 8, at 5 p.m. at Eastridge High School. The Lady Eagles Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Varsity Soccer team marched into Dunkirk last Friday night and beat Pine Valley 4-0 to advance to the Far West Regional Championships this week against the to-bedetermined team from Section

5. Their game is also against Jasper-Troupsburg (Section V Class D Champions) this Friday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. at Amherst High School. When both teams win this weekend, they will compete in the State Finals. In other Ellicottville youth sports this week, the EVL Wrestling program begins practice and is still looking for youth grapplers to join their program. Practices will be held at ECS during the week in the evenings. If interested, contact Frank Morlock at (716) 8188233 or Nikki Clark at (716) 353-3907.

victorious this week. The 1011 year olds took a tough loss but played great and will build on what they learned playing older teams. The 12-13 team also won their first game this weekend. All three Ellicottville teams play this Friday night beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Olean YMCA. In upcoming events, ECS Varsity and Junior Varsity Boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and Girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Basketball practices begin this week. Mark your calendars for the ECS Sports Banquet on Nov. 25 at ECS. The Ellicottville Little Eagles Football Banquet is this Saturday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. at the West Valley Fire Hall. Go Eagles!

It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the cold and the wind that the Boys Soccer team will remember from last Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Hamburg against North Collins. It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the scoreless 75 minutes of back and forth play either. It will be the sight of the soccer ball hitting the back of the net fired by senior Connor Greene with 4:25 left in regulation on the scoreboard with a score of 0-0. It was at that moment, the Ellicottville Eagles finally felt like the elusive â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Patchâ&#x20AC;? Section VI Class D Championship title could belong to them, and them only. When a North Collins player went down with an injury in the goal area, it gave the Ellicottville Eagles time to take it in and regain composure, but it also gave the North Collins Eagles time to settle down and plan to retaliate with a goal. With only 41 seconds left in

the game, four North Collins players were on a breakaway with only Jeremy Bordini between them and a gametying goal. A goal that would have sent the two teams into an overtime yet again, for the fourth time in five years for the same title game. An amazing save on the ground at the bottom left of the goal, was only visible after the players cleared away from the scene. This was it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Ellicottville Eagles were going to walk away as the sole title winners, unlike years 2010 and 2011 when they shared the title with North Collins, but were unable to advance after shootouts determined who would advance. For anyone who has followed this team this year, it has been an emotional yet exciting year. With a new league to play in that included larger schools like Olean, Allegany-Limestone and Randolph, this year the boys played up to that level,

and they did it well. The record alone doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show the team play and skill these boys have demonstrated. After a very frustrating 4-0 loss to Olean in September, October brought an overtime game that was hard fought, with Ellicottville the winner up until the very end. This group played as a team, and it has been their collective efforts and energy that has brought them success. On Friday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m., the Boys Ellicottville Eagles can be found at Eastridge High School in Rochester competing in their first-ever appearance in the Far West Regional game in the history of Ellicottville Eagle Soccer against JasperTroupsburg. We wish them the best of luck and will be happy to watch this quality group of young men in any weather that Mother Nature decides to dish out.

safer for pedestrians. Roger Spell, owner of The Barn restaurant, Sean Lowes, proprietor of the City Garage, and Greg Dekdebrun, owner of Dekdebrun’s ski shop attended the hearing to comment on the proposed law. While all agreed that the intersection is a problem and that pedestrian safety is paramount, Spell noted that it will be difficult for large delivery vehicles to make the turn into Hughey Alley. Lowes and Dekdebrun agreed, and also noted that residents along the alley, as well as patients and customers visiting Ellicottville Optical, would have difficulty getting to their destinations when Hughey Alley is blocked by delivery trucks. With these issues in mind, the board and community members discussed some alternative ideas, including installing an extra stop sign and a pedestrian walkway sign for westbound travelers at the Monroe Street intersection, adding flashing lights to existing signs and installing warning signs for pedestrians. All alternative ideas had pros and cons, as well as cost implications. As a result, the board moved to table the hearing until the next meeting after cost estimates could be considered. In addition to this discussion, Dominic Spicola, owner of the Ellicottville Winery, attended the meeting to ask for the board’s guidance in helping him manage a recurring problem during Fall Festival. He explained that residents of an apartment next door to his building have held a loud and crowded party there for several years. The alley that separates the buildings is owned by the Winery, though there is an easement for a power line. The alley exists for ingress and egress only. During Fall Festival, the alley was used by these partiers for outdoor partying and public urination. Spicola asked the board if there was anything it could do to help him avoid this issue in the future. The board and Village

Constable Howard Gifford noted that all of these spaces are private property. Gifford said that as a property owner, Spicola is encouraged to call the police and file a formal complaint when problems such as this arise. The police then may respond and act accordingly. He also suggested that Spicola follow through with the property owners of the other buildings to address his concerns. In regular board business, Department of Public Works Head Harold Morton reported that preparation and cleanup for Fall Festival went very smoothly from his department’s perspective. Throughout the month, DPW has been busy repairing water leaks and lines around the village and has identified leaks at several residences where repairs need to be made by the property owners. Brogcinski asked how the village will handle ensuring that those repairs are made. Morton said the homeowners would be notified that leaks have been found and that they must have them repaired within 30 days. This applies only to leaks in pipes between the municipal shutoff to the house. It does not apply to indoor plumbing leaks. Constable Gifford reported that, during the month of October, he had issued two vehicle/traffic summonses, made one arrest for disorderly conduct, responded to two noise complaints and issued nine parking tickets. During Fall Festival, he issued 10 open container citations, responded to pedestrian-related traffic obstructions, replied to requests for residential and business security checks, dealt with issues related to bus and limousine parking, and oversaw towing of vehicles parked on private property. Village Engineer Mike Smith and his colleague from Nussbaumer & Clarke, Jim Campolong, reported on their progress investigating and documenting water leak issues throughout the village

with the help of the DPW. Campolong said there has been “substantial” improvement in the water system as leaks have been repaired. By the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, he estimates that unaccounted for water use may drop by as much as 50 percent. Campolong also said Nussbaumer & Clarke is preparing a comprehensive map of water mains in the village for use by the DPW. Special Events Committee Chair Patra Lowes said that the committee is scheduling a meeting to review its efforts to improve the 2013 Fall Festival. Committee member and board member Greg Cappelli commented that a lot of the rules and processes put in place this year worked, but the committee will work to tweak some of those processes next year. Lowes asked if the village had been asked to provide extra help for the Beer and Wine Festival at Holiday Valley this weekend, Nov. 8-9. While the event is located at the resort, Friday and Saturday night’s participants typically come to the village afterwards. Constable Gifford said the village is not adding staff for the event, but that Holiday Valley security and the town police have been working together. Under old business, Brogcinski asked if any progress has been made on the issue of the growing population of stray cats in the village — a problem that was introduced to the board by Betsy Peyser at its October meeting. Village Clerk Mary Klahn said that Peyser is getting estimates from organizations that will trap and spay/neuter the animals in order to help control their population growth and will present those figures to the board when they are complete. Please note: The next meeting of the Village Board will be held on Monday, Dec. 9 a half-hour later than normal — at 6:30 p.m. The public hearing on the local law amendment was rescheduled for that date.

Continued from Front Page

by Todd Palmatier

The Ellicottville Little Eagles Program just completed a very successful season on the gridiron. The Midget program, led by 10 third-year players and two third-year cheerleaders, capped off a 10-0 season and Superbowl victory over the Randolph Raiders! Over the past two seasons, they ran up an impressive 19-0 record with back-to-back championships! This team has been practicing diligently since Aug. 1 under the coaching staff led by Rance Wilson, who has coached his last game for the Little Eagles. Under his head coach leadership, the program he was head coach for has won four Superbowls and ran up an impressive record. The Midgets will lose players Griffin Chudy, Austin Whitmer, Lucas Foster, Brett Wilson, Deric Leiper, Austin Grinols, Robert Neumann, Hunter O’Stricker, Noah Stuve and Evan Palmatier as these

The ECS board meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 5, started off with several good news announcements by Superintendent Mark Ward. The fall sports teams have had a very successful year. The football and volleyball teams both played in semifinal games on Friday, Nov. 1, ending their winning seasons with two great playoff games. Meanwhile, both the girls’ and boys’ soccer teams are heading to the Far West Regionals after winning in the semi-finals last week. Both teams play Friday, Nov. 8 at 5 p.m. The girls will play Jasper-Troupsburg at Amherst High School. The boys also play Jasper-Troupsburg, but at East Ridge High School in

Rochester. Ward also announced that this was National School Boards Week. As a “thank you” to the ECS board, the school administrators presented each board member with a small token of their appreciation for their commitment and support on behalf of the students, faculty, parents and staff. Finally, Ward reported that the architectural, engineering and budget plans for the capital renovation project have been filed with the State Education Department (SED). They were hand delivered on Nov. 1 as scheduled by ECS’ architectural firm, SEI. The SED review process should be completed by April or early May, at which time the bidding

process will begin. In other news, Ward said that fencing around the dumpsters is being installed this week. He also said that four proposals have been received for appraising the 120 acres of vacant land behind and above the school. The property, which is owned by the school, is being appraised for both land and timber value. The board’s building and grounds committee will review the proposals and make its recommendation to the board and its next meeting. The October/November issue of the school newsletter is now posted on the school’s Web site and will be in mailboxes soon. Ward referred to a story on the Common Core that he wrote for the newsletter and said that it is his hope that parents will take some time to familiarize themselves with the program in order to help their children. Ward, who believes that Common Core is the right way to go, said it is a “waste of time to bad-mouth it. We’re going to dig in and do it.” Elementary School Principal Connie Poulin agreed, noting that Common Core has many great features.

Ellicottville Little Eagles Football Program varsity or varsity at ECS next year. The cheerleaders lose Janel Stuve and Ariah Tocha, who have cheered loud and proud for six years. The Ellicottville Parents and Eagles Booster Club would like to thank Rance for all his hard work and dedication to the program! The Pee-Wee program also

finished a great season at 8-2 losing to the Randolph Raiders both times, once during the regular season and then in the Superbowl 6-0. It was a hard-fought defensive battle by both teams. The Pee-Wees lose some players, who will be moving up to the Midgets, but return a large core of kids for next season and will build on

the success of this season. The Little Eagles Booster Club would also like to thank the following sponsors for 2013: Holiday Valley, Great Southern Wood Preservers, Ellicottville Optical, Bean & Rinko, Aldrich Painting, Dunkleman Electric, Ellicottville Landscaping, Coffee Culture, Ellicottville

Teachers Association and Ellicottville Central Schools. With your gracious help, we were able to buy some equipment to keep our children safe. We are still looking for donations to the program. We are in desperate need of some new equipment such as helmets, shoulder pads and replacement parts for our

equipment. We would also like to thank the Ellicottville community for all your support and coming out to cheer these boys and girls on! Don’t forget — 270 days to the first practice of 2014! Again, thank you!

Annual Halloween Parade in Ellicottville by Jalee Evans, Elementary Student Correspondent

Zombies, witches, and ninjas, oh my! If you went to the annual Ellicottville Halloween Parade last Thursday, you would have seen kids dressed up like this. Grades Pre-K through 5 were participating in the Ellicottville Central School’s Halloween Parade. The students could walk around Ellicottville and receive candy from generous parents, shop owners, and relatives and, of course, show

off their crazy costumes! If you went to this event, you could see that some of the Pre-K students had costumes that were themed off “Power Rangers’’ and there were many ninja-like costumes throughout the grades. Many students and teachers dressed up as “Duck Dynasty” characters, and Mrs. Moore, a fifth grade teacher, dressed up as a player for her favorite baseball team, the Boston Red Sox. The elementary gym teacher, Mr. Mendell, and

his daughter dressed up like characters from “Toy Story.” You could also see many sports players like soccer, football, and even softball. Fuzzy monsters were also a popular costume, and so were cowgirls and cowboys. The costumes were definitely unforgettable this year, from Dorothy to Batman. If you’re looking for some fun, be sure to come on down to the annual Ellicottville Halloween Parade next year.

Santa Sheriff’s Program

Kicks off Tenth Year Of Giving Jolly Old St. Nick made an early visit to the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office to meet with the Santa Sheriff’s Program Director Deputy Brian Keis to discuss the growing need for area families in the 2013 giving season. He was pleased to find that efforts have been ongoing this year with monthly raffle baskets and that letters will be going out to area businesses seeking local support through monetary donations. These donations will help the program purchase gifts for families in the community. The Santa Sheriff’s Program modeled after a similar initiative in Texas, began in 2004 and has been steadily growing. Partnering agencies and schools raise funds and refer less fortunate Cattaraugus County families to the program. Gifts are purchased at area businesses. Youth and volunteers from area schools and other county agencies wrap the gifts and package them for delivery. In 2004, the goal had been to serve five families. The program grew to 26 families in 2011 and 2012, providing

for a total of 114 men, women and children. These families were provided gifts, as well as a complete Christmas dinner, along with dry goods donated through the efforts of the staff and students at the Salamanca Middle School. The program hopes to raise the funds to provide Christmas to 40 families this year. As in the past years, the Sheriff’s Office has also pledged funding to the program through a donation from the Employees’ Association and the Supervisor Units, as well as receiving donations from area business and residents, in addition to the raffle baskets. Sheriff’s Deputy Brian Keis, program director, sees the Santa Sheriff’s Program as, “a way for us to give back to the community.” Fundraising efforts continue to grow each year adding new partners. While the program is designed to provide Christmas gifts for area families, it also offers participants lessons in cooperation, volunteering and caring for others. This year the program is looking to raise nearly $10,000 so that the needs of area

families can be met. Individuals interested in donating to this project may contact Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb at (716) 938-9191 ext. 2247, or Deputy Brian Keis at (716) 938-9191 ext. 2899. Contributions can be made payable to the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation, c/o Deputy Brian Keis, Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office, 301 Court St., Little Valley, NY 14755. Please indicate in the memo section “Santa Sheriff’s Program.” Together let’s make a families Christmas memorable.
