Halloween Half returns to Ellicottville this Saturday By Kellen M. Quigley
The village of Ellicottville will be filled with witches, pirates, zombies, vampires and more costumed runners this Saturday for the 6th annual EVL Halloween Half Marathon and 5k. Both events begin and end in the heart of the village at 5 Monroe St. The half begins at 11 a.m. and the 5k begins at 11:15. Running in the half marathon will take you on 13.1 miles of beautiful countryside roads outside Ellicottville. The race will also benefit 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

My thing was I’m going to Anastasia, the musical, next year.” According to Frank, they had never picked up any paranormal activity in the town hall until this year when they found some at the lockers on the second floor. She said Koerner and deGuehery

Ellicottville Historical Society, said the group was discussing some hangings that supposedly took place in front of the town hall years ago. When they asked the paranormal app on Koerner’s phone if a person was hung there, one of the words that came up was “record.” “John asked me if I knew of any record, which I did not, and Dawn [Westfall, president of the historical society] told me there were no hangings

About a dozen people gathered at the Ellicottville gazebo on the evening of Oct. 4 to search for ghosts and paranormal happenings at some of the village’s historic sites. This was the third annual Ghost Walk hosted by the Ellicottville Historical Society with proceeds benefiting the organization. Led by John Koerner and Rob deGuehery, of Paranormal Walks, it’s an evening of paranormal investigation and storytelling, inside and outside some of Ellicottville’s oldest buildings and the Jefferson Street Cemetery. Some of the most haunted locations within walking distance of the gazebo showed paranormal activity including the United Church of Ellicottville, the town hall, Ellicottville Historical Society Museum and the Jefferson Street Cemetery, which had the most history and potential ghost activity. The first stop was at the town hall, constructed in 1929. The building replaced a log courthouse and jail, built in 1820, that once served as the center for government for Cattaraugus County.

Solar Zoning amendment proposed for town of Ellicottville
By Caitlin Croft
Tier 2 would consist of ground-mounted units not to exceed 2,000 square feet and for onsite consumption. They would be allowed in the Agricultural Residential (AR) District and Low Density (LD) District. With a Special Use Permit, they are permitted in the remaining districts. Tier 3 are Solar Farms or Utility-Scale Projects. They would only be allowed in AR and LD districts excluding the Sewer & Water District with a Special Use Permit. These types of solar are used for off-site consumption, such as the power generated sent back into the system. There are some guidelines, such as the layout must follow the natural grade of the land, 100-foot front, side and rear setbacks, decommissioning plan and bond or form of securing payment, no advertising, all power lines be underground and more. The goal is to promote solar initiatives without it disturbing the character of this rural community.
The October meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board opened with town planner Gary Palumbo speaking to the board regarding the proposed Solar Amendment. Palumbo said currently in the zoning law, there is no mention of solar, which makes it not permitted in all zoning districts. A company had approached the town board about a potential solar farm to be located off Sommerville Valley Road. From this presentation, the board charged a Solar Committee to look into potential options. After the committee reported back to the board their thoughts and the board charged the town’s planning board with one representative from the town board and Zoning Board of Appeals to draft a proposed amendment. The amendment touches on three classes of solar projects: Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. Tier 1 are small scale and the power is used onsite these would be allowed in all districts.
A public hearing for the proposed amendment was set for Nov. 20 at 6 p.m.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, a public hearing for the 2020 town budget was set for Nov. 7 at 4 p.m. The 2018 Fiscal Stress Ratings have been completed by the state. The town received a Fiscal Rating of 9.6 and an Environmental Rating of 16.7. The scores work with 0 being the best and 100 the worst. Ellicottville was in the top ten towns with the best ratings in the State. From the police department, it was reported Fall Festival went smoothly with only 10 arrests or tickets issued. The major issue was Uber/Lyft drivers clogging up the detour routes picking up and dropping off festival-goers. In the engineer’s report, the rate structure of the new Water District needs to be completed. This will be completed in conjunction with the association of towns and the town attorney. A negative SEQRA declaration for the SAM
Grant was also approved. There was a meeting with Great Valley and Mansfield representatives to discuss a water and sewer intermunicipal agreement. From the highway department, it was reported that the gas line on Holiday Valley Road will be extended to the end of the road and work on that is almost complete. Timothy Zerfas’s appointment to the Town Planning Board was approved. Finally, the EllicottvilleGreat Valley Trail has been cleared from the Town Center to Tim Hortons. There is some mulching to complete but the project has picked up steam and is now 50 percent ahead of schedule. There was discussion regarding meetings with Valley Village representatives. The town is working with the HOA regarding the parking and roadway. The project is ongoing.

used a device to detect paranormal readings with little numbers that would spike and change colors, depending on the intensity of the paranormal activity. One of the most interesting stops was at the United Church of Ellicottville where some very unusual things happened. Frank said most of the people on the tour were sitting in the pews, while the rest were looking at the coat hangers to see if they were moving. “Last year, we had three coat hangers that started moving while we were at the church and they wouldn’t stop. This year, they were moving on the opposite side, but not as much,” she said. “We were trying to figure that out when, all of a sudden, we turned and this door started to close and nobody was near it. It had a doorstop and the floor is carpeted, so it wasn’t like it could move easily.” AT THE MUSEUM, the group found a lot of paranormal energy from several objects in the room including a student desk, a bell and a black dress. Frank said the device would turn red as deGuehery was talking about a story told by his grandmother where kids had desks like that and boys would put the girls’ ponytails in the inkwells. Constructed in 1853, the current museum
site has been the location of the County Clerk’s Office, a bank, a German Protestant Lutheran Church and a millinery shop. In 1894, a belfry was added and the brick structure became a firehouse for the volunteer fire department meetings. Since then, this structure has served as a school and a public library. The hundreds of old artifacts there gave off plenty of paranormal activity for the hunters to detect. According to Frank, some really weird things happened at the cemetery. Established in 1817, the Jefferson Street Cemetery was the first to serve the village. The burial ground has over 400 burials dating from 1817 to 2003. The group started out at the gravesite of Beals Litchfield, a farmer and a spiritualist who helped start Lilydale. Frank said a face came up on Koerner’s phone, but it was so quick he wasn’t sure who it was. “When we got back to the museum where we have a picture of Litchfield, John said that was the face on his phone,” she said. The group also visited the gravesite of Peter Henaford who was of German descent and had a furniture factory where Ellicottville Brewing Company now stands. While they were near Henaford’s grave, some ghost hunters could smell smoke as if there
was a campfire close by. Frank said the app on deGuehery’s phone looked like smoke or mist was coming up from the ground. About two minutes later, they couldn’t smell any smoke. A few days later, Frank and her husband decided to take a look at the video she shot at the dark cemetery during the Ghost Walk. What they saw was eerie and mysterious. “I was filming toward the street from the back of the cemetery and panning to the right, just to see what I would get. Then I panned back to a tall, oblong marker,” she said. “When the video first starts, there’s this glowing ball on top of a grave. Then, I saw this blue streak go through, which I thought was very weird.” She emailed the video to Koerner and asked him to look at it. He said a cellphone usually doesn’t give off much color, so the blue light meant something. He called it an orb. Frank said this paranormal experience was interesting and a lot of fun but, out of the three past years, this year had the most unusual things they’ve gotten yet. The Ellicottville Historical Society is planning another Ghost Walk for next year and could possibly host two.

ECS NEWS & SPORTS
ECS juniors participate in PSATs
By Adam Silvernail Student Reporter
On Wednesday, Oct. 15, all the juniors at Ellicottville Central School took the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, or the PSAT. The PSAT is a standardized test taken by every junior in the country that wishes to take it, though the timing is not always the same. Within it, there is a reading section, an English language section, a math section without a calculator and a math section with a calculator. In the reading section, there are 47 questions and reading sections to go along with them, as well as 60 minutes to finish the section. The English section has 44 questions and 35 minutes to finish it. The math without a calculator section has 17 questions and 25 minutes it finish. The math with a calculator section has 31 questions and 45 minutes to finish. There are also two five-minute breaks between the sections. Those who do well enough at the PSAT become National Merit Scholars and are eligible for certain scholarships. Before they took the PSAT, I asked several juniors if they were nervous about taking it. Ryan DeKay responded, “No it’s…it’s just something that will gauge me in the future.” Which isn’t strictly true, as there is money on the line. But, if it helps calm his nerves, more power to him. Caleb Jennings replied, “I probably should be but I’m not.” I’m not sure if he’s actually not worried about it or if it’s just bravado. I suppose we’ll see. Jalee Evans said simply, “No.” Everybody seems rather confident in their abilities.
Taking it a step further, Noah Steinbroner said, “The PSAT doesn’t matter.” Rather bold of him, in my opinion. Will this flippant attitude result in a worse grade than he could have achieved? We’ll never know, but it’s an interesting question. Students are forbidden to talk about any test material on the PSAT, though obviously some still do. In fact, if you’ve looked on the Internet recently, you will find a plethora of PSAT memes. I will certainly not be discussing anything on the PSAT in this article, though, I don’t think opinions fall under that category. On Thursday, the day after the PSAT, I went back to each of the interviewees and asked them how they felt about how they did. Ryan Dekay answered, “It was interesting.” Interesting: the polite way of not actually answering a question. So, I’m not actually sure what he thought about it. Caleb’s answer was a bit more specific. “The English was very hard.” It seems he should have studied his semi-colons and verb agreements a bit more than he did. Jalee’s response was on the other end of that spectrum: “It was easier than I expected. I felt very prepared.” Good for her. At least somebody thought they did good. I’m sure others also feel that way, but I didn’t ask them. Noah replied, “I don’t care about the PSAT.” At least he’s consistent, I suppose. Everybody that took the PSAT this year can expect their scores to be available sometime in December. Until then, all you can do is hope you did well and don’t worry about it. The SAT is the test that really matters.
ECS dedicates new scoreboard to former coach Mary Neilon
Photo by Sam Wilson The Ellicottville girls soccer team joins former coach Mary Neilon at a pregame dedication ceremony for the new scoreboard at the school’s soccer field.
By Sam Wilson Mary Neilon decided to step away from the soccer field this year. Now, her name will appear above the field where her teams played for 35 years. In a pregame ceremony before the Ellicottville girls soccer team played Springville on Friday, the school named its new soccer scoreboard in honor of Neilon. Along with new head coach Tammy Eddy and assistant coach Katie Taylor, Neilon held up a sign saying “Ellicottville Eagles Soccer,” with her name,
and recognizing her record (458-160-34) and four state champions. Neilon retired in the summer after 35 years of coaching (34 at the varsity level) and teaching at the school. “It’s humbling, very humbling,” Neilon said. “I can’t even put it into words. It’s an honor, for sure.” The scoreboard, paid for by the Ellicottville Sports Boosters, went up during the season, but will now include the Neilon sign underneath it. Ellicottville’s boosters also put up similar scoreboards for
baseball and softball in recent years before the Spring 2018 seasons. Beating Springville 2-0, Ellicottville finished the regular season 10-3-3. Neilon has enjoyed following the team as a fan this year. “I’ve been to a handful of games, so it’s been good,” she said. “It’s nice to see how the players have developed and the coaches and how they all get along. “They are definitely in good hands. I keep saying, ‘How lucky are we?’ I’m just so fortunate and grateful.”
AUTUMN Ensure a more enjoyable winter indoors with simple soundproofing solutions
As the weather gets colder, Americans inevitably spend more time indoors. If you’re sharing a space with an excitable toddler, an aspiring rock musician or a TV enthusiast with a penchant for loud volumes, peace and quiet may seem increasingly elusive. Try these simple soundproofing tips to restore or create a more tranquil atmosphere in your home: 1. Hush noisy appliances. Make sure your appliances are working smoothly. Unusual rattles, clanks or vibrations may mean it’s time for a repair. When a replacement is needed, seek out a quieter machine. New technologies have allowed manufacturers to lower the sound output of many models. 2. Seal sound leaks. Holes and cracks around windows and doors let outside noise
into the home. Weatherstripping and/or caulking can help to eliminate the intrusion of exterior noise. Adhesive soundproofing tape can also help seal any problem areas. 3. Anticipate centers of noise when renovating. When designing a new room or renovating an existing one, consider its intended use and potential for generating noise. Playrooms, music studios or home theaters, for example, can be quieted with insulation. Look for a product such as Roxul Safe’n’Sound that is specifically designed to provide superior sound absorption and can be applied to the interior walls of a noisy room to effectively reduce disruptive sounds. 4. Use sound-absorbent materials. Carpets and window drapes prevent
sound from echoing around a room. If your home has hardwood, laminate flooring or tile, consider investing
in a throw rug to reduce ambient noise and add some character to your space. Taking simple steps to
create a more peaceful space will maximize the enjoyment of your home. It can also have the added
benefit of helping to keep the peace among spouses, parents and siblings alike.
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. Intuitively designed to dominate the dirt, these machines make it an easy decision for anyone also inclined to favor the filthy.

HEALTH & FITNESS:
EXERCISING WHEN SICK: SHOULD YOU OR SHOULDN’T YOU?
By Kim Duke You have been so great about your new exercise routine, rarely missing a day
since you started up again. Then all of a sudden you are waylaid by a cold or flu. What should you do? Should you skip the treadmill or forsake that Pilates class for a late afternoon nap? Will it be hard to get started again if you skip a day or two? The answer depends on what ails you, experts tell WebMD. For example, exercising with a cold may be OK, but if you’ve got a fever, hitting the gym is a definite no-no.
Fever is the limiting factor, says Lewis G. Maharam, MD, a New York City-based sports medicine expert. “The danger is exercising and raising your body temperature internally if you already have a fever, because that can make you even sicker,” he tells WebMD. If you have a fever greater than 101 degrees Fahrenheit, sit this one out. Maharam’s rule of thumb for exercising when sick? “Do what you can do,
and if you can’t do it, then don’t,” he says. “Most people who are fit tend to feel worse if they stop their exercise, but if you have got a bad case of the flu and can’t lift your head off the pillow, then chances are you won’t want to go run around the block.” “A neck check is a way to determine your level of activity during a respiratory illness,” adds Neil Schachter, MD, medical director of respiratory care at Mount Sinai Medical Center in
Titans finish perfect regular season with 49-6 victory at Salamanca By Sam Wilson
Logan Frank kept breaking tackles, and the Franklinville/ Ellicottville football machine kept rolling along to finish off a perfect regular season on Friday night. The Titans spoiled the final regular season game at Salamanca’s old Veteran’s Memorial Park field (before renovations), and the Warriors’ Senior Night and Homecoming by pulling away for a 49-6 victory in Section 6 Class D play. Frank, the Titans’ junior quarterback, threw for two touchdowns and ran for three. He piled up a total of 153 rushing yards on 16 carries and completed 6-of-10 passes for 85 yards. “Logan’s had a few weeks here where we maybe didn’t use him as much,” Titans coach Jason Marsh said. “It was great because we got a lot of other people involved. We have a lot of weapons. Logan had a great night tonight. Their defensive tackles were kind of giving us fits early on. We had to figure that out a little bit and shore up some of our blocking schemes. We knew if we get Logan at the second level, he’s really tough to tackle. He’s strong, he’s quick and once we got him into the second level, he was able to do his work.” Salamanca coach Chad Bartoszek, the former F/E coach, said Frank runs “angry,” making him tough to bring down past the line of scrimmage. “He just runs angry,” Bartoszek said. “He’s big, fast and he runs with a nasty streak to him. He’s one you can’t let get through that first line. Once he gets out in the open, he’s tough because it’s hard for the secondary to tackle him one-onone.” F/E (7-0) will have next weekend off with a bye to the Class D semifinals, where it will play the winner of Salamanca vs. Cattaraugus-Little Valley. “Just shoring up fundamentals,” Marsh said of how the Titans will spend the bye. “We’re going to work on getting healthy, hopefully (heal) up some of the dings and bruises that we have and then we’ll wait and see who we get in the semifinals.” Clayton Rowland (53 receiving yards) and Niklas Logel caught F/E’s two touchdown passes. Tyler Clear and Jordan Grinols both ran

for a touchdown. Salamanca (3-4) struggled to run the ball all night, finishing with a negative 38 rushing yards due to a rash of sacks, bad snaps and two botched punts. The Warriors scored their lone touchdown in the first quarter after quarterback Lucas McKenna completed a 56-yard pass to his brother Jarrett McKenna, then ran in a 1-yard sneak. The score cut F/E’s lead to 14-6 early on, but the game would never get closer. Salamanca’s touchdown was the first F/E had allowed in a first half in three weeks, since Sept. 27 against JFK, and just the fifth touchdown the Titans have allowed all season. “We blew a coverage and we knew what we did,” Marsh said. “When you know what the mistake is, it’s easy to figure out. We made the corrections and went from there. We didn’t push the panic button. It definitely was eyeopening and we’ve got to be better in the future.” Logel marked 1.5 sacks, while Zack Wolfer and Caleb Ploetz had one each and Matt Peters marked a half-sack. Grinols had a team-high five tackles. F/E also got solid kicking from Bryce Butler, a junior also on the
Ellicottville boys soccer team, who went 7-for-7 on extra-point attempts. Kody Shinners and Cole Hedlund had a team-high 5.5 tackles each for the Warriors. “There’s not a ton of positives that come out of three of the quarters,” Bartoszek said. “But we had a quarter there, after we screwed up on special teams and bad snaps, we shot ourselves in the foot early. You just can’t do that against F/E. We needed field position, we needed to get them backed up and it was the opposite. It’s tough, you’re not stopping them in four-down territory. I was proud of the way we responded. We had a big play, Jarrett stepped up for us. “We were fighting it, fighting it and it got loosened up and we kind of gave in there at the end. But it’s a hell of a team. They’re going to be really good (in the playoffs) and they’re ranked high for a reason. They’ve got it going on, offense and defense. They’re going to be a tough out.” AT SALAMANCA F/E 14 14 14 7 — 49 Salamanca 6000—0 First Quarter F/E — Niklas Logel 14 pass from Logan Frank (3 plays, 27 yards after short punt), Bryce Butler kick, 7-0 F/E — Frank 2 run (5 plays, 25 yards after botched punt), Butler kick, 14-0 Salamanca — Lucas McKenna 1 run (5 plays, 72 yards), kick failed, 14-6 Second Quarter F/E — Clayton Rowland 19 pass from Frank (7 plays, 55 yards), Butler kick, 21-6 F/E — Frank 28 run (5 plays, 61 yards), Butler kick, 28-6 Third Quarter F/E — Frank 43 run (2 plays, 55 yards), Butler kick, 35-6 F/E — Tyler Clear 34 run (4 plays, 77 yards), Butler kick, 42-6 Fourth Quarter F/E — Jordan Grinols 1 run (3 plays, 7 yards after botched punt), Butler kick, 49-6 TEAM STATISTICS First Downs Rushes-Yards Passing Yards Comp-Att-Int Total Offense Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards Punts-Avg Total Plays

help boost your body’s natural defenses against illness and infection, Schachter says. “Thirty minutes of regular exercise three to four times a week has been shown to raise immunity by raising levels of T cells, which are one of the body’s first defenses against infection,” he says. “However, intense 90-minute training sessions like those done by elite athletes can actually lower immunity.”

‘The Guardians’ by John Grisham
In a small Florida town, a young lawyer named Keith Russo was shot dead at his desk as he worked late one night. The killer left no clues. There were no witnesses, no one with a motive. But the police soon came to suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man who was once a client of Russo’s. Quincy was tried, convicted, and sent to prison for life. For twenty-two years he languished in prison, maintaining his innocence. In desperation, he writes a letter to Guardian Ministries, a small nonprofit run by Cullen Post, a lawyer who is also an Episcopal minister. Guardian accepts only a few innocence cases at a time. Cullen Post travels the country fighting wrongful convictions and taking on clients forgotten by the system. With Quincy Miller, though, he gets far more than he bargained for. They killed one lawyer 22 years ago, and they will kill another without a second thought. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available to download for free as an eBook or eAudiobook version to your own device using your library card!

The Ellicottville Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center announces the nomination of science teacher Cathleen Woods as a state finalist for the prestigious 2019 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching (PAEMST). Through her instruction, students at the Ellicottville CTE center have the privilege of receiving hands-on experience and https://www.facebook.com/TheEllicottvilleTimes learning to operate the JEOL6010LA Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The students have a “leg up” on most peers their age because they are learning nanotechnology. Through the use of an SEM, they are imaging, analyzing and manipulating materials at the nanoscale. They are being trained in material analysis and reporting methods, and work with biologics, electronics and mechanical nanoFor directions & map: Saturday Nov. 2 - 10AM -AM5PMPM directions & map: materials. As a state finalist in science, Woods’ www.eastotto.com Sunday Nov. 3- 10AM -AM 5PMPM www.eastotto.com application will be reviewed by a national selection committee in Washington, D.C.

WOODS INTEGRATES nanotechnology into every class at the center and looks at the science behind each CTE program. She works as a support instructor with the other teachers and develops lessons that enhance what is already being learned. She said it’s called “cooperative teaching” and they work together as a team. Under her direction, students have opportunities for both in-class instruction and hands-on experimental challenges to prepare them for college and careers in science, technology and engineering. To give all the students exposure to the microscope, Woods does a class demo to show the kids the basics and introduce them to the field of nanotechnology. Projects are optional, but students who are interested can come to the classroom at a scheduled time to work on their projects. At the end of the year, she prints off certificates for their portfolios indicating that they have earned a certain number of hours using the microscope. One of the Natural Resources students wanted to know why the Honey Locust trees
out in front of the building were dying, so he did a project on his own where he took an SEM image of a leaf from the tree and analyzed it. “He discovered elements in the leaf that are commonly found toxic diesel fuel exhaust,” she said. “The buses park out there on a daily basis.” An Animal Science student who found some unknown hair at a ransacked campsite did an analysis and found it was raccoon fur. Woods said the student looked at the hair to compare the chemical aspects and the diameter to identify it as raccoon fur. Science and SEM have also been integrated into the welding program. Woods said students did an SEM analysis of welding materials identifying elements in their work. She said they were interested in how the chemical composition of a flux coating on an electrode affects the welding process, as well as the quality. According to Woods, the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center sent them a sample of wolf fur to identify the properties three years ago. She said they wanted to know why the fur is the way it is, from an evolutionary standpoint, to help with the wolf’s survival. Her students ended up being featured in the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center’s newsletter. “After graduation, the students may not walk into a job that has an SEM, but the fact that they have been exposed to it and have used it as a technical skill is something that even a Regents-bound student probably would not have,” she said. Nano is the big thing in her class right now, but Woods is currently working on a “brain computer interface technology” that is still in its developmental stages. WOODS FOUND out about the award last December when Jim Schifley, assistant superintendent for Career and Technical Education Programs, nominated her. According to Woods, the nanotechnology program is also a vision of Principal Noel Sheehy. She said the initiative is a group effort of many people at the BOCES career and technical education centers. “There are schools in California that teach nanotechnology, but the CTE Center in Ellicottville is currently the only school in Western New York that offers instruction in nanotechnology,” she said. “To my knowledge, a career and technical education instructor has never won this award.” If she wins the $10,000, Woods has already promised it to the Ellicottville CTE Center. She would like to have it go toward the science curriculum. “I want to help students. I thought about scholarships, but I don’t want this award to go to just one student. I want this money to benefit many students,” she said. “I want to put BOCES on the map and I want the country to know that CTE is strong and we hold our kids to high expectations.” Woods is a native of Portville and currently resides in Springville. She’s been on staff at Ellicottville’s CTE Center since 2002. The Ellicottville center is one of three CTE centers under the CattaraugusAllegany Board of Cooperative Educational Services. Two other centers are located in Olean and Belmont.
