the guns can automatically and individually adjust to changes. The result is a greater quantity and better quality of snow made, using less energy. A new Pisten Bully 600 winch cat grooming machine has been added to the grooming crew’s fleet. The machine has a blade for moving large quantities of snow and a tiller to smooth out the surface like other groomers, but it also has a rotating arm with a winch cable that attaches to an anchor point at the top of the slope. This allows the winch cat to groom uphill on steeper terrain resulting in a smoother, more See Holiday Valley, page 11

Now, with 351 automated snowguns and almost 800 total snowmaking guns, Holiday Valley has the largest and most powerful HKD automated snowmaking system on the East Coast. Automation has the advantage of quick startups and shutdowns, so even if favorable snowmaking temperatures exist for just a couple of hours, the system can make snow efficiently. In addition, the automated snowmaking system has weather stations that monitor temperature and humidity, so

With the first snowfall of the year likely only a few weeks away, officials at Holiday Valley already had the white stuff in mind this summer as the resort worked to prepare the slopes for the upcoming ski season. Holiday Valley recently announced it is undergoing $3.3 million in upgrades for the 2019-20 winter season. Dennis Eshbaugh, president of Holiday Valley, said the skiers and riders of all ages and abilities will see improvements that will make their visit more enjoyable. “As an independent resort, we are very proud of what we have been able to accomplish in our 62-year history,” he said. “Together with this year’s
projects, we have reinvested over $135 million in the resort over the past 25 years.” This year’s improvements to the resort include expanded snowmaking, a new groomer, glade improvements, a new website and a redesigned cafeteria. “Holiday Valley has the most snowmaking guns available in Western New York,” said Jane Eshbaugh, director of marketing. “The new guns we are putting in this year are not automated, at this point, but will be part of the automated system in the future.” The resort’s powerful snowmaking system was expanded with 107 new HKD low energy Impulse snow guns. These were installed on the Bear Cub, Maple Leaf, Falcon, Champagne,

WVDP participates in full-scale exercise to prepare for emergency incidents
The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management and CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley, its cleanup contractor at the West Valley Demonstration Project, recently conducted a full-scale exercise that included Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department, Cattaraugus County Special Response Team, Cattaraugus-Chautauqua Bomb Squad, West Valley Volunteer Hose Fire and Rescue, and evaluation assistance from Cattaraugus County Emergency Services. This exercise, which was based on a hypothetical incident, tested the skills and response of these local agencies as well as the site’s Radiological Controls Department, Environmental Department, Emergency Medical Response Team, Security Force and Operational Response Team. It’s been stated that during an emergency, you always fall back on your training. Disasters can occur at any time, and a knowledgeable,

Exercises also provide constructive feedback to improve in areas identified during the course of the incident. This full-scale exercise, held at the WVDP site and New York State retained

Manager Kevin Murray said. “To be prepared in our field, you must always be learning, training, and evaluating your performance. I know we can’t predict the future, but we can certainly be wellprepared for whatever comes our way.” DOE-WVDP staff and WVDP personnel helped develop the scenario and supported the exercise as controllers and evaluators. This included coordinating the many tasks that had to occur to make it more realistic and truly test responders from beginning to end. There were five DOE-HQ observers that assisted the DOE-WVDP with evaluations.

Pre-applications discussed by Ellicottville Village Planning Board
By Caitlin Croft
The regular meeting of the Ellicottville Village Planning Board had two pre-applications on the agenda, one inquiring about a potential single-family home (SFH) and its driveway and the other regarding a commercial space being converted to residential. The owners of 17 and 19 McKinley Drive were present to discuss options on building an SFH that would need to use a village lot to access the parcel. Both the access and building parcel are already owned by the applicant. The access lot at the end of McKinley Drive is currently approved to build one structure with two townhouses in a designated building envelope. The owners would like to not build in the already approved envelope and instead build higher up on the hillside as to have more privacy. Where they are considering is actually in the town as the village line runs through the McKinley Townhomes. At the beginning of the road, the property in the town has enough frontage but the owners do not want to build a private drive up behind the current Townhomes as the grade is difficult to work with and from an aesthetic standpoint would cause more disturbance than necessary. The reason for not building on their village lot is outside of the already approved
building envelope is reserved land per the initial subdivision plan. The village planner would like to look into as why that part of the subdivision was set aside as reserves. This will take some digging into past records to find the initial development plan. The board asked if it were possible to build lower on the village parcel and between the village Planner, engineer and the applicants’ engineer they are going to look into this option. There was a concern with the grade of the slope there and what building further up would do to land disturbance. It was stated this was their major concern in the 1990s when this division was initially proposed and built. They were and are concerned with runoff, drainage and disturbing land at such a steep grade. The Village Planner advised they would look further into it before a final application is submitted. One of the first level units at 8 Washington St. is asking if a change in use from office to residential is possible. Historically first-floor residential is not allowed in the VC1 district. The reasoning for this is to preserve the storefront space not to keep out first-floor residential. There is one exception in the main village corridor and that is the Arlington Arms Building located next to Monroe Street Brick and Brew. There are some unique qualities about this particular unit that it fronts on an alley and does
www.EllicottvilleTimes.com
not have traditional storefront windows. The windows also cannot be changed to larger storefront windows as it is in the historic district. One concern the board has is they do not want to set a precedent for changing retail storefront space into residential space. The village planner is going to work with the applicant on their change in use application. Next, there was discussion regarding the mini committee on processes and procedures of Special Use Permits. The village planner advised he will be writing up a generic flow chart/checklist of the procedure for obtaining a Special Use Permit. This committee was formed based on feedback from the public regarding the current procedure on obtaining Special Use Permits and Change in Use Permits. The board stated that if applications are completed and there is open communication coupled with proper use of a preapplication meeting the process for approval is roughly four weeks, which is faster than many other municipalities. The planner also advised that the work session could become an official meeting and that way there would be two potential chances for public hearings in a month. The board is concerned with the additional costs of this and would like to see a cost-benefit analysis completed. The next meeting of the village planning board will be Nov. 12 at 5:30 p.m. at the village hall.
HEALTH & FITNESS: By Kim Duke
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL
One size does not fit all, and neither does one form of working out. You already know that exercise is a great stress reliever. But did you know that you could tailor your workouts specifically to your personality type? Look around you and you will see everything from the fitness fanatic to someone who is an exercise cynic. If you are the fanatic, you love being committed to a fitness routine. You are always looking for ways to achieve the best results and stay on top of the latest trends. To avoid irritating ruts and keep your muscles growing give
your body the occasional shock routine. Try running stadium steps to exhaustion or run outdoors over rugged terrain. As a fanatic, you seek challenge, so, instead of doing three sets of 12 repetitions of every exercise, do fewer reps and more sets that are near your onerep max on compound exercises, such as deadlifts, squats and bench presses. Then lighten the load for power moves, such as
jump squats, which are riskier. If you are the exercise cynic, just the thought of exercising can cause you anxiety. You have a million excuses as to why you cannot or do not want to workout. For this personality type, I recommend camaraderie. Either find a group that holds you accountable or a buddy that acts as a cheerleader to keep you consistently moving. Whether you join a group of walkers, cyclers or join a gym, you need something
other than self-doubt to motivate you to workout. I also recommend keeping your gym bag or other sporting goods in your car or under your desk. This way you’re always prepared and can cross that excuse off your list. So, determine your personality type and figure out what works best for you. Some of you need no motivation at all — fitness is like breathing for you. Others of you need to find your what works best and stick with it. Remember, it’s NEVER too late to start exercising and you are NEVER too old or too young to make it apart of your life.

‘Lethal Agent’ by Kyle Mills
While politicians focus entirely on maintaining their own power and privilege, ISIS kidnaps a brilliant French microbiologist and forces him to begin manufacturing anthrax. Threats of an imminent attack are posted to the Internet, intensifying the hysteria gripping the US. ISIS recruits a Mexican drug cartel to smuggle the bioweapon across the border, but it’s really just a diversion. The terrorist organization needs to keep Mitch Rapp distracted long enough to weaponize a deadly virus that they stumbled upon in Yemen. If they succeed, they’ll trigger a pandemic that could rewrite the world order. Rapp embarks on a mission to infiltrate the Mexican cartels and track down the ISIS leader who he failed to kill during their last confrontation. But with Washington’s political elite increasingly lined up against him, he knows he’ll be on his own. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as an audiobook using our interlibrary loan program, or you can download for free as an eBook version to your own device using your library card!

Catt. Co. Broad of Health laments setback on flavored e-juice ban
By Rick Miller
The Cattaraugus County Board of Health lamented a court ruling Oct. 1 that issued a temporary restraining order on the state’s ban on flavored e-cigarettes. Public Health Director Dr. Kevin Watkins informed the Board of Health at its meeting Oct. 2 at Good Times of Olean that a justice in the Appellate Division, Third Department, had issued the temporary restraining order. It temporarily delays enforcement of the ban on flavored e-juice announced Sept. 17 by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and challenged by the Vapor Technology Association and two e-cigarette retailers. “The temporary (90-day) emergency ban is no longer in effect,” Watkins told the Board of Health. “It is a short setback.” The state Health Department “is fighting vigorously to appeal the (latest) decision.” Watkins, a member of the New York State Health Planning Council, said its members had been ready to meet to add menthol to the list of banned e-cigarette flavors when the ruling was announced. The meeting was adjourned, he said. “Hopefully, it’s just a temporary setback,” said Board of Health President Dr. Joseph Bohan. The temporary restraining order from the Appellate Court came after a State Supreme Court judge on Sept. 27 refused to issue a temporary restraining order the vaping trade group had sought. The state’s ban on flavored e-cigarette pods, which was later extended to menthol flavors as well, was in response to a respiratory illness that has hospitalized several hundred
people who use e-cigarettes and killed as many as eight people who vaped. There were indications that some of the deaths may have been related to black market marijuana-based pods for e-cigarettes that used an oil to cut the product. The Cattaraugus County Board of Health voted earlier this year to recommend the County Legislature consider banning flavored e-cigarettes because they are attractive to teens, who often end up addicted to the nicotine. A local law banning flavored e-cigarettes and e-juices was introduced in the County Legislature but tabled in the Human Services Committee because of the threat of legal action and the promise of action on the issue by the State Legislature. The Board of Health had intended to consider endorsing a 2009 Chautauqua County law that not only banned the possession of tobacco products by persons under age 21, but made it a violation. The local law has not been enforced. County Attorney Thomas Brady asked the Board of Health to hold off on the recommendation to allow him time to research search and seizure statutes. The board agreed to the request. Board of Health members David Smith of Gowanda, said he’s seized one e-cigarette device a week this year from students in the Gowanda Middle School where he is principal. Cattaraugus County Legislature Majority Leader Donna Vickman, R-Farmersville, said she thought legislators would be supportive of such a law prohibiting possession of tobacco and vape products by those under age 21.

Adventure Bound incorporates Ellicottville Coffee Co. into business
By Deb Everts
Adventure Bound onthefly has been reinvented with the addition of the Ellicottville Coffee Company. Customers will now be able to enjoy a great cup of organic Peruvian coffee while shopping, planning their day or their adventures. Owners John and Christy Rounds, of Ellicottville, are introducing the next phase of their business by incorporating the new coffee shop into Adventure Bound, their outdoor retail store at 16 Washington St. The new addition will blend an artisanal coffee shop experience with an authentic outdoor store heritage. The Rounds had a “soft” opening Oct. 5. They are offering handcrafted espresso drinks prepared with Ellicottville Coffee Company’s own smallbatch roasted coffee beans, along with the freshest bags of Ellicottville Coffee Company beans to go. “In addition to offering espresso drinks, our plan is to also evolve into an onsite, roasting facility. We expect that after trying our coffee, a lot of people will be buying it for friends and family,” Christy said. “We will also offer a subscription service for people who want to make Ellicottville Coffee Company a part of their daily morning ritual.” Baked goods and grabn-go foods will soon be offered, along with local maple syrup, jams and jellies and home brewing equipment. Adventure Bound will continue to offer select items from well-known outdoor clothing brands such as Patagonia, Osprey and Howler, as well as guided fly fishing trips, river trips, snowshoe excursions and

kayak trips on Spruce Lake at Holiday Valley Resort. To create space for the new coffee shop area, the Rounds have been offering big discounts in a storewide clearance sale that will continue through Fall Festival weekend. The transformation of their commercial space began Sept. 23. With the professional help of Eric Rohwetter of Savannah, Ga., family and friends, the Rounds were able to reopen in a very short time. Christy said he spearheaded the whole evolution of the new space to create the Ellicottville Coffee Company. “Eric is a really intuitive builder, and he has actually done coffee shops and restaurants in Italy,” she said. “He’s the builder who helped us remodel four years ago. He had a narrow window of 10 days to two weeks to do this for us.”
The decorative focus of the coffee shop is two bright orange chairlifts in front of a black chalkboard wall. Christy said her father-in-law, Chris Rounds, brought the chairlifts to their shop from a ski area in northern Michigan, which has been restored with a powder coating and walnut seating. She said the chalkboard wall will be designed by an artist and changed periodically or seasonally. It will be an ideal spot for Instagram pictures and selfies. According to Christy, the store was once a hardware store and there are holes in the floor where people could buy rope by the foot. She said huge spools of rope were kept down in the basement. Back in the day, there was a town basketball court upstairs.
ADVENTURE BOUND was originally founded in 1971 by John’s parents, Chris Rounds and Heidi Widger, Christy said. She said it all started as camps for disadvantaged kids to get them outdoors. “They did a lot of hikes, canoe trips and even a bike trip to Europe,” she said. “The Adventure Bound store supplied the kids with outdoor gear and it was also a ski shop.” Twenty years later, everyone went their separate ways. In 2015, John and Christy re-opened the store. “We evolved through several phases from carrying kayaks and stand up paddleboards to backpacks, tents and camping gear,” she said. “Finally, we decided to capitalize on the big traffic weekends by incorporating a coffee shop into our location.” According to Christy, John has been passionate about coffee his entire life, and he always has the latest brewing equipment. She said they have a virtual science lab in their kitchen with all of the different coffee makers he’s used over the years. In the last three years, the couple have traveled to all of the major coffeegrowing regions in the western hemisphere including Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Panama and Peru. Christy said they had a combined desire to share their adventure/travel experiences, as well as their coffee experiences with their customers. “For us, coffee and travel/adventure go handin-hand. Coffee is sort of the undercurrent to all of our travels,” she said. “The first thing John does is always look for the best coffee shop in the area so,
for him, it’s connected to the travel and the whole adventure experience.” Christy said they plan their day and adventures with a cup of coffee, and that’s part of what ties Adventure Bound and the Ellicottville Coffee Company together. For them, it’s a natural marriage of two different concepts that are so much a part of their family culture. Their friend, Ty Simic, has been an integral part of the coffee shop project. Christy said they met him while on their honeymoon on the Inca Trail in Peru, and they’ve been friends ever since. “We did a lot of highaltitude climbing all through South America with Ty,” she said. “We climbed in Peru and, in 2000, Mount Aconcagua in the southern Andes, the highest mountain in the western hemisphere.” According to Christy, Simic’s mother owns a restaurant in Peru, so he has a lot of knowledge in terms of the coffee and what it
takes to run a coffee shop. She said he spends half of his year in Peru and half of his year in Ellicottville. Christy said their first brew is a Peruvian Single Origin, which is a coffee from the Chirinos Region of Peru. According to Christy, the Chirinos region is known for its authentic coffee-growing heritage. Beans are grown on family farms with ethical growing practices that center around protecting the soil. Ageold practices allow them to grow without pesticides in fair-trade cooperatives. She said their coffee at the Ellicottville Coffee Company is 100-percent organic. “John and Ty will be visiting the coffee farm later this month and will return with some special beans for the holiday season in Ellicottville,” she said.

consistent snow surface. A thorough cleaning out has made the four glades and several tree trails more fun than ever. With the goal of creating healthier tree stands, better tree skiing and more access to the powder, crews have been smoothing out the forest floor by filling in gaps and sharp angles and doing light pruning to open up the woods a bit. Additionally, the Mountainside Grill, Holiday Valley’s main cafeteria, has been redesigned for easier access, better traffic flow and a fresh new menu. Jane Eshbaugh said redesigning the cafeteria will improve on its visibility, traffic flow and the products offered. “We’re at the point right now where we’re waiting for a few key elements to make sure it’ll actually happen this year,” she said. “We’re pretty sure it’s going to happen, but the timing is going to be very tight because we have
weddings and conferences going on, then the ski season is coming, so we don’t have a lot of time.” HolidayValley.com will also have a whole new look and improved user-friendly e-commerce. According to Eshbaugh, the new website is expected to launch sometime in October. Holiday Valley, New York State’s most visited ski resort, has become a leader in the ski industry and ranks among the favorites of skiers in the East. Located along Route 219, in Ellicottville, the resort features 60 slopes and trails, 13 lifts, three base lodges, slope-side lodging and dining, conference facilities, an 18-hole golf course, a tree top aerial adventure park, a mountain coaster and a summer pool complex.

EVL Halloween Half Marathon returns Oct. 26
On Saturday, Oct. 26, the village of Ellicottville will be filled with smiling faces in spooky and funny costumes and running shoes for the 6th annual EVL Halloween Half Marathon and 5k. Both the half marathon (11 a.m. start) and the 5K (11:15 a.m. start) begin and end in the heart of the village at 5 Monroe St. Running in the EVL Half Marathon will take you on 13.1 miles of beautiful countryside roads outside Ellicottville. The race will also benefit our charity partners The Ellicottville Sports Boosters, a group dedicated to getting local children involved in athletics, as well as the local food pantry. Participants are invited to run in costume and enjoy other Halloween related activities, but this is by no means mandatory. One of the most important things you’ll want to think about while planning your costume is chafing. Think about how your costume is going wear over 13 miles. Please do not wear items that may danger you or other runners or items that will make you feel colder. Metal pieces, such as bracelets and earrings, may feel especially cold at freezing temperatures. Remember, it can be cold in October, so dress appropriately so you can have fun! You are allowed to have hats, masks and carried items, but your race number bib must be placed on the front of your costume and be worn at all times. Race participants will receive

Times file photo Nightmare Hayrides owner John Kent stands with one of his workers dressed in an executioner costume in 2017 at his Sommerville Street farm. The haunted hayride, barn and maze attraction is open weekends through Nov. 3.
By Ginna Hensel As the leaves change, the air cools and Ellicottville prepares for fall, the home of the famous Ellicottville Championship Rodeo prepares for the scariest time of the year as it transforms into your worst nightmare. This fall marks the 29th year of the Nightmare Hayrides with visitors making the drive from all over North America for the haunting adventure. Owners John and Karen Kent pour their soul into the makings of this event every year, with each one bringing changes, and this year is no exception. John Kent reported that preparations went smoothly this year as the crew has been working since July to bring you happy haunts. The Haunted Hayride crew has
remolded three-fourths of their barn, added a new building for the demon house, redid the parking lot and more. Kent was careful to not reveal too much about the additions, he wants people to come and see them themselves. But rest assured: this year’s fright fest extravaganza will be chilling as the Kents and their crew “have 29 years of haunting experience.” John Kent also shared about the success stories from previous years, saying the Nightmare Hayride attracts Halloween fanatics from all over North America. They have had visitors from New Jersey, Canada and other faraway places. Kent reported that they have visitors that will make a five-hour drive for the

are panels on the center of the carousel, one of which ironically is a painting of pumpkins. “We’ve always wanted a carousel at Pumpkinville,” Diane said. Pumpkinville draws an estimated 100,000 visitors from midSeptember to the end of October. “We think this will be a good fit for us,” Dan added. A new agricultural attraction also debuted when Pumpkinville opened its gates this fall. Birds and Bees features a large beehive with glass walls so visitors can see the bees activity inside. On the other side of the building, visitors — especially kids — can view a hatching area for baby chicks. “We’re a working pumpkin farm, so it’s really important that we educate our visitors, especially kids, about the importance of agriculture,” Dan said. This year’s corn maze is sponsored by Ellicottville Brewing Company, a partner with Pumpkinville in the seasonal brew, Pumpkinville Latte. Throughout October, Ellicottville Brewing is presenting beer tasting at Pumpkinville, including Pumpkinville Latte. “We’re really proud to be in partnership with Ellicottville Brewing Company,” Dan said. Pumpkinville again this year teamed up with Olean’s Pink Pumpkin Project. During its
earlier days in the seasons, visitors could ride a hay wagon to the big sunflower field where they could pick their own for 6 for $5. Proceeds went to the Pink Pumpkin Project to aid cancer patients. The Pawlowskis run the 200-acre Pumpkinville farm with help from their son Jim and daughter Lisa and about 100 employees during the seven-week season. “Last year was a tough year,” Dan said. Frequent heavy rains kept many visitors away on weekends when just shy of 10,000 people can show up. The Pawlowskis brought in so much stone for the parking lot and walkways your feet would barely get wet. With a wet spring this year, the Pawlowskis were worried about getting their pumpkin and sunflower crops planted in time for the Pumpkinville harvest. The crops were only a little behind and some good sunny weather this summer made up for the late start. Workers started picking the pumpkins the weekend before Pumpkinville opened and moved them to the staging area where children will look for that special pumpkin. There are probably more than 10,000 pumpkins growing on the farm. There’s a you-pick pumpkin area, too. With the new attractions, the Pawlowskis hope to spread people out more and keep the lines to
a minimum. You can also order and pay online for wristbands for Pumpkinville attractions at www. pumpkinville.com. If you didn’t visit Pumpkinville last year, the two things that will get your attention are the new indoor bathrooms and that the area now has cellular service. Not only did the cell service help parents post their children’s Pumpkinville photos on Facebook faster, it made credit card transactions for purchases much faster. Instead of a few phone lines for credit cards, more than a dozen employees have iPads connected to the internet. Pumpkinville is also home to Cattaraugus County’s only apple cider mill this year after it was reported Cummins Cider Mill in Portville would not open this fall. Even the apples are a little late in coming this year, Dan said, but they’re pressing cider now in a restored 1870s cider mill. Helicopter rides are available on weekends for a 360-degree view of Pumpkinville and the surrounding fall foliage. You’ll find your favorite attractions including the sixacre corn maze, apple blaster, Pumpkinville Express Train, the Fun Zone with its 60-foot slides, Barnyard Ballzone, Pumpkin Jumping Pillows, Cow Train, hayrides and more.

People tell him “thank you for doing this for our families.” He says that people just love this place and Halloween. It serves as a bonding experience for families and friends alike.

ECS NEWS & SPORTS Ellicottville snaps three-game losing streak, tops Salamanca/C-LV 3-0
By Sam Wilson
It took 11 games, but the Ellicottville boys soccer team connected on a corner kick and the result looked worth the wait. Holding onto a 1-0 lead late in the first half Monday against Salamanca/CattaraugusLittle Valley, Ellicottville earned some insurance off the corner kick from Bryce Butler, whos high pass met Mitchell Azcarate in front of the net for a header past the Warriors’ goalkeeper. “We’ve been doing corner kicks all year long in practice and that’s the first one that we’ve connected in a game,” ECS coach Matt Finn said. “Like some of the kids said on the bench, that was one of the prettiest high school goals we’ve possibly ever seen. Him jumping up, getting it out of the air, hitting it over the goalie, that was sweet.” Ellicottville took the CCAA East game, 3-0. Adrian deOrbe and Jack Snyder also scored for the Eagles (6-5, 3-2) and Butler had two assists. Jamison Caldwell made three saves for a shutout. The Eagles flashed some impressive speed in the game, none more than defender Noah Steinbroner, a Section championship sprinter. Finn compared his team to a track and field squad, but not in an ideal way. “We keep saying that
we’re like a relay team, where one guy runs and plays really hard for a little bit while everybody stands and watches, and then it’s a handoff when the next person goes,” Finn said, “and they’ll go really hard, but not together. In particular, the first half, I felt as though we all played together, we’re not a track team, everybody was (playing hard) at the same time.” While the Eagles got the win, the difference in Monday’s two halves pointed to an inconsistency Finn hopes his team can get over. “We’re just kind of inconsistent still,” he said. “We have moments where — well, I’d say our first half we were passing the ball well, moving it and everything else and then the second half I felt we were getting back to old habits of just trying to get the ball up the field and just kick it and everything else. So I just told them, we could be the first half team that moved the ball and kicked the ball, I think we could do quite well, but we’ll see.” Finn said “there’s no doubt” Steinbroner leads his team’s defense. His speed allows him to cover more ground while still stepping up to help the offense. “He’ll step right up and say that and I think everybody else would too,” Finn said. “He’s definitely the most vociferous but leads by example too. He’ll go get
Panthers settle for tie with ECS girls soccer, 1-1
Nearly three weeks ago, the Ellicottville girls soccer team went into Portville and defeated the Panthers. On Thursday night at Ellicottville, the Panthers (6-2-2) went to Ellicottville (6-2-3) on a four-game win streak looking to avenge their early-season loss. And despite giving the Eagles all they had, the teams battled to a 1-1 draw after two overtime periods. Ellicottville scored in the 26th minute of the first half when Mandy Hurlburt finished on a Camryn Earley pass. That goal stood for nearly the entire game. With eight minutes remaining in the second half, Ellicottville was called for a Photo by Sam Wilson Ellicottville’s Bryce Butler (12) fights for the ball against handball inside the 18-yard Salamanca/Cattaraugus-Little Valley’s Reece Redeyebox.

ECS celebrates Spirit Week leading up to Homecoming
By Megan Hartsell Student Reporter
Beginning Monday, Sept. 30, Ellicottville Central School geared up for another annual week of homecoming festivities. Spirit week kicked off with America Day. Students adorned in red, white and blue paraded through the hallways, showing off their patriotism and pride in our country. The number of stars and stripes became hypnotic and was an exciting way to commence the fun week ahead. On Tuesday, students dressed as VSCO teens. VSCO, a popular photo editing app, has become a staple of teenage culture within the past year. These outfits, which are a current internet craze, entail wearing oversized shirts, Birkenstock sandals, scrunchies and, of course, a Hydroflask. Girls were the main partakers in this theme day, and those who participated went all out. If you didn’t hear at least 1 “and I oop” or “sksks” in the hallway, did it even happen? Wednesday then followed with Dynamic Duo Day. From Phineas and Ferb to Spongebob and Patrick, Milk and Oreos to “Chad, Brad and Thad,” ECS students grouped to represent famous pairs. On Thursday, students carried on the years-long tradition of class color day, in which seniors wore black, juniors wore white, sophomore wore blue and freshmen wore red. The hallways equated to a sea of color, with groups of students differentiated by the color of their shirts. Hand-in-hand with the theme Thursday was hallway decorating. Seniors took on a more interesting spin on plain black, and instead covered their hallway in dark Halloween decorations, with the label “Spooky Scary Seniors.” As the week progressed, hallways became more vibrant, sheer proof of the spirit within the student body, which is always eager to go above and beyond. Finally, spirit week came to a welcome end on Friday with
after it was 2-0 and Izzy Deliman finished with 13 saves for Catt-LV (4-8).
Ellicottville 1, Maple Grove 1, OT With 7:08 remaining in a road non-league game against Maple Grove, Mandy Hurlburt knotted in a goal off a pass from Kaitlyn McGuire to help Ellicottville earn a second-straight tie at Bemus Point. Taylor Bower tallied off a direct kick in the 31st minute of the first half and Kasie Craig made 12 stops for Maple Grove. Brooke Eddy made two saves for the Eagles. “It was a pretty physical game,” Ellicottville coach Tammy Eddy said. “We started out slow. We outshot them, we just didn’t finish.” Franklinville 2, Ellicottville 2, OT After a back-and-forth, 100-minute contest, Franklinville brought an end to Ellicottville’s three-game win streak. Franklinville led 1-0 at halftime in the CCAA East divisional matchup on a Kaylee Brennan goal. Ellicottville answered with a Jocelyn Wyatt goal in the second half and a 1-1 tie held up through the first overtime period. But both teams scored in the second OT, as Ellicottville’s Mandy Hurlburt converted a penalty kick with five minutes to go, but Gabby Milligan had the answer for Franklinville with less than two minutes later, burying a goal off an Emily Bigler pass. “We scored first so my girls were very excited: they could taste the win,” Panthers coach Amanda Urmson said. “In the second half they scored, but we survived. They were so hungry to win the game. They worked the hardest they’ve worked all game. It was a very good team effort. My goalkeeper, Abby (Burrell) made a lot of big saves. A lot of girls worked their hearts out to get that tie.” Burrell stopped 11 shots to help Franklinville tie the Eagles. Brooke Eddy made six saves for Ellicottville.
A-L holds off rally from Ellicottville, wins in 4 sets
Photo submitted Seniors at Ellicottville Central School dress up as VSCO teens during Spirit Week last week leading up to Homecoming.
Spirit Day. Of course, the entirety of the Middle and High Schools participated, with student athletes wearing their uniforms, others wearing school apparel and all exhibiting cheeks spotted with maroon and white dabs of face paint. Students especially looked forward to the Pep Rally on Friday, since it, of course, allowed them a slightly altered schedule in which classes were shortened. The pep rally began with an exciting performance by ECS Spirit Squad, which is composed mostly of the girls’ varsity soccer team. Only their second year as a performance team, the girls went all out and riled up the crowd in preparation for the events to come. Hysterical laughter erupted from the audience of students as homecoming attendants competed in silly games and obstacle courses to prove that the seniors are, in fact, the best class. Speakers
during the rally highly encouraged students to attend the football game to follow that night, and adults urged the safety of students before, during and after the Homecoming dance on Saturday. In every classroom, corner and hall of the school, students could be found this week laughing and having fun, taking pictures and creating memories to last for the rest of life thereafter. School spirit, while sometimes overlooked by some, brings joy and excitement to an otherwise monotonous place of learning and is utterly crucial to the sanity of students, especially after the difficult transition from summer vacation to fall. This year’s Homecoming spirit week was certainly one for the books. As seniors experience their last week of joyful homecoming mayhem, underclassmen are already eager for the exciting years to come.
After four tough sets, the Allegany-Limestone girls volleyball team got past Ellicottville for a 25-21, 25-19, 26-28, 26-16 victory on Thursday in CCAA East play in Allegany. Maura Vossler led the way for A-L (6-3) with 12 kills, one ace, two blocks and three digs. Emma McCarthy added seven kills and three aces with “solid gameplay all around,” coach Terra LaCroix added. Also for the Gators, Cameron Riordan had 33 assists and seven aces. Mallory Jakubczyk chipped in three kills, entering midway through the match. “She stepped up off the bench cold and really contributed tonight,” LaCroix added. For Ellicottville (4-7), Cyrene Moore had 10 kills and eight blocks; Heli Kongats added four kills, nine digs and two aces; and Jenna Hadley had 11 assists and six digs.
Olean 3, Ellicottville 0 The Ellicottville girls volleyball team gave Olean everything it could handle at home in the first and third sets. A tough second set, however, left it little chance of pulling off the upset. Adele Dwaileebe recorded 11 kills and three digs and the Huskies maintained
control in downing the Eagles 25-21, 25-12, 25-19 in a CCAA East contest on Tuesday. Olean (8-1, 6-1) remained a game back of Portville for first in the league standings while Ellicottville fell to 4-6 (2-4). “Game 1, we were neckand-neck,” Ellicottville coach Katie Auge said. “We’d go up and then they’d go up. Game 2, we crumbled right from the start. We couldn’t get anything going. Game 3, we had more fight, but we just didn’t have any time left.” Grace Parr added five kills and four aces, Sophia Renaud had 23 assists, six digs and three aces and Destiny Custer had 11 digs and three assists for the Huskies. For Ellicottville, Cyrene Moore had four kills, two aces and two blocks and Heli Kongats (2 kills) and Jenna Hadley (2 kills) added five and four digs, respectively. Springville/West Valley 3, Ellicottville 0 Springville/West Valley swept the Eagles, 25-12, 25-13, 25-16 on Thursday, Sept. 26. Cyrene Moore had five kills and two blocks for Ellicottville (4-5), Makenna Smith added eight assists and four digs and Heli Kongats marked four kills, six digs and four blocks.

AUTUMN 5 simple ways to update your bathroom’s style Do you have a bathroom that’s starting to look a little dated and drab, but perhaps doesn’t need a complete remodel? If you’re craving a change, you can update the space’s style with a few strategic steps. Not only will you elevate the appearance of your bathroom, but you’ll be boosting your home’s value as well. Here are five ideas for updating your bathroom space with fashion and function in mind: Flooring replacement The floor in your bathroom gets used and abused, with frequent foot traffic as well as moisture from baths and showers. Replacing the flooring gives the space a noticeable face-lift. New tile is always a great choice for the bathroom, with options in virtually every shade, so you can select a new color palette if you please. Add a heated floor element to give the space upscale appeal. Not into tile? An alternative is luxury vinyl flooring that gives the illusion of wood but with better durability.
the look of the piece while adding to the overall aesthetic of the room.
Vanity upgrades Your vanity is a main focal point of the bathroom, but replacing the entire unit is costly and difficult. One way to update a vanity is to replace the top portion with a durable material, such as granite, quartz, marble or concrete. This can change the entire look of the vanity and update it with modern style. Want to go one step further? Consider updating the hardware as well. By replacing the handles and knobs you are enhancing
Mirror and lighting One of the hottest trends in bathroom design right now is lighted mirrors, adding both elegance and function to a bathroom. Upgrade your mirror to a new Sunfield Lighted Mirror from Sterling Plumbing and you’ll enjoy natural, purposeful lighting in a sleek design. Sunfield lighted mirrors create a flood of natural light from the perimeter of the mirror with a true-to-daylight Color Rendering Index (CRI) greater
than 90, providing accurate reflection and color representation. Learn more at www.sterlingplumbing.com.
curtain, swap out old material for one in a fresh hue that evokes just the right feel for the space.
Shower style Replacing the shower is a massive project, but if you want to update the style with less effort, replace the shower curtain or door. If you have a shower door, it can be difficult to keep the glass clean and eliminate water deposits that build up over time. A new crystal-clear door from your local home improvement store will add a clean, updated look to the space. If you have a
Linens and rugs Last but not least, to update the style of your bathroom space, don’t forget about fresh linens. New hand towels, bath towels, rugs and more in a coordinating color will update the visual appearance of the room in an instant. Simply swap out new for old and you’ll not only love the look, but there’s something luxurious about wrapping yourself up in a fresh plush towel after a long bath or shower.
Did you know?
It’s a nearly-scientific fact that you can solve most any problem by putting dirt on it. Scraped knee? Dirt. Embarrassing bald spot? Dirt. Nagging mother-in-law? Dirt. Lots of it. Juuust kidding. The point is, when people need a little more excitement in life, they probably just need to add a little dirt. And that’s where KIOTI tractors come in.

the bodies of adults. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that the use of lead in house paint, on products marketed to children, including toys, and in dishes or cookware was banned in the United States in 1978. However, lead may still be found on toys imported from countries that have not yet banned lead. In addition, toys and collectibles that were produced prior to the ban in the United States may still contain lead that can be harmful to children and adults. Parents who suspect their children have been exposed to lead can speak with their youngsters’ pediatricians, who may order blood tests to check for lead exposure.

Lead is a naturally occurring element found in the earth’s crust that can be toxic to both humans and animals. Lead can be found in air, soil and water, and human exposure to lead can often be traced to human activities, such as the one-time use of leaded gasolines and previous use of leadbased paints in homes. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that lead also may have been used in ceramics, pipes, plumbing materials, and even some cosmetics. Perhaps the most troubling aspect of lead is its potential effect on children. The still-developing brains and nervous systems of children are more sensitive to the harmful effects of lead because their bodies absorb more of it than

AUTUMN 10 to-dos for home and yard winterization
Scarves. Pumpkin spice lattes. Leaves crunching underfoot. Sweater season is moving in fast, which means it’s time to start transitioning to fall maintenance to make sure your home and yard are ready for winter. The following are 10 things you can do to prepare for the cold and wet weather ahead. 1. Interseed your lawn A summer of heavy use can take its toll on even the healthiest of lawns. If your turf has some thin or bare patches, fall is the ideal time to reseed. A turf specialist at a garden shop or university extension office can help you choose the right kind of seed for your local conditions. After spreading the seed, water lightly and frequently (if it doesn’t rain) to keep the soil slightly damp until the seed germinates. For those who live in the warmer, Southern regions of the U.S., interseeding with cool season grass seed can help you enjoy a lush green lawn year-round. Speak with a local landscaper or your university extension office to determine the best timing, seed and process for interseeding with cool season grasses as warm season lawns turn dormant. 2. Winterize your irrigation system If the ground in your area freezes down to the depth of your irrigation pipes during the winter, be sure to shut off the water to the system and drain the pipes before the first freeze.
3. Lower your mower blades For the last few mowings in the fall (and the first few in the spring), set your lawn mower blades at the lowest recommended height for your type of turf. You no longer need the height of the grass to shade the soil and keep it cool, and minimizing the amount of moisture that’s trapped by the grass can help prevent fungal disease. 4. Remove the leaves Don’t leave your lawn buried under a thick layer of leaves. If you don’t want to rake, try mulch mowing - chopping the leaves up into small pieces allows them to decompose more quickly, so that they fertilize the grass instead of suffocating it. You may need to mow more frequently to keep up with the falling leaves, even if the grass itself isn’t growing quickly. 5. Clean up your yard Any object that sits on your grass all winter can create a dead spot. To protect your lawn, remove toys, furniture and other items from the grass. Be sure to cover or store anything that’s not designed to be out in the rain or snow indoors. 6. Prep your equipment for spring lawn care In addition to seeding, another great way to get a jumpstart on spring is to give
your lawn mower a tune-up. By sharpening the blades before you put it away for the winter, it will be ready to get back to work when the grass starts growing again in the spring. 7. Check your roof, gutters and downspouts Leaks can lead to costly water damage, so check for potential trouble spots now, before the winter storms start. Look for broken shingles and damaged flashing around vents, chimneys and skylights; clean the leaves out of your gutters; and add extensions to your downspouts if the water runs less than three feet away from the foundation of the house. 8. Check your doors and windows for leaks Eliminating air leaks around
doors and window frames is one of the most effective ways to lower your heating bills. Caulk and replace weatherstripping where needed to prevent cold air (and potentially water) from entering. Don’t forget to make sure the seal between the garage door and the ground is tight as well. 9. Service your heating system Before you turn your heating system on for the winter, have it cleaned and inspected by a professional. Regular preventive maintenance will keep it running safely and efficiently and make sure minor issues are resolved before they become major problems.
10. Test your emergency power generator Winter wind and ice storms can bring down power lines and cause lengthy blackouts. If you live in an area where power outages are common and you have an emergency backup generator, test it now, and make sure you have engine oil and filters on hand. Spending a bit of time in the fall to prepare your home and yard will allow you to enjoy the winter months with peace of mind. What’s more, the effort you invest in the health of your lawn now can pay dividends in the spring by jumpstarting your turf’s growth and minimizing weeds. Have you completed everything on the list? It must be time to curl up with a good book, a hot beverage and relax!
