Birds and Bees will feature 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.

There 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 mid-September to the end of October. “We think this will be a good fit for us,” Dan added. A new agricultural attraction will also debut when Pumpkinville opens.

It’s almost Pumpkinville time! It’s that time of year when all roads lead to the road that leads to Pumpkinville, nestled at the northern end of Sugartown Road off Route 98, Great Valley. Pumpkinville is New York state’s oldest continually working pumpkin farm — 51 years and counting. It will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. when it opens this Saturday. “It may not be the biggest, but we think it is the best,” said owner Dan Pawlowski, who runs it with his wife, Diane. She oversees the bakery and assures everyone there will again be plenty of pumpkin doughnuts again this year. Follow your nose to the kitchen where you’ll find other bakery items including breads, cookies and pumpkin pies. The Pawlowskis continue to expand Pumpkinville, adding new attractions each year. New this year is the Happy Horse Carousel, right next to the Fun Zone. “We looked coast to coast for a carousel for several years,” Dan said on a tour of Pumpkinville last week. “It’s portable. We set it up and it’s been inspected for use. Next year we hope to

ECS NEWS & SPORTS Gators hold off Eagles in four sets Perhaps it was the little bit of momentum it had garnered toward the end of last year. In a 6-13 campaign, the Allegany-Limestone volleyball team won its final two regular-season matches before bowing Gowanda, in four sets, in the Section 6 Class C-2 playoffs. Maybe it was the energy that can accompany a seasonopener. Whatever the driving force might have been, the Gators got off to a great start this fall, picking up a 3-0 sweep of Ellicottville in a CCAA East matchup Tuesday. Cameron Riordan was at the forefront of victory, totaling 17 assists, four kills and six aces in the 25-12-25-20, 25-7 triumph. “A-L played well,” Ellicottville coach Katie Auge said. “It was their first game and they came out and played hard. We had a real slow start, we picked it up in the second set and then we had an injury that forced us to change up the rotation, so Game 3 was tougher for us to get it together.” Maura Vossler added eight kills and three aces while Chloee LaCroix had six digs and provided “great passing and great defense,” according to Gators coach Terra LaCroix. Makenna Smith notched five aces and seven digs while Cyrene Moore
and Allison Rowland added six and four kills, respectively, for the Eagles (1-2, 0-1). Panama 3, Ellicottville 2 Ellicottville won the first two games Thursday, Sept. 5, but couldn’t hold on to defeat the defending sectional champions and Class D state finalists from Panama. Panama rallied to win, 25-27, 22-25, 25-12, 2518, 25-11. For the Panthers (30), Kylie Schnars had 22 kills and six blocks and Natalie Angeletti marked 17 kills, four blocks and six digs. Maddie Johnson added 39 assists, two aces and 10 digs while Ashlyn Harvey had an assist, nine kills and two blocks. Cyrene Moore led Ellicottville (1-1) with 15 kills and four blocks while Makenna Smith h 21 assists. Heli Kongats had eight kills and six blocks and Allison Rowland had four kills and 17 digs for the Eagles. “The first two games we covered that floor and were aggressive and communicated and made it hard for them to score,” ECS coach Katie Auge said. “Our movement was incredible. Then I think fatigue was a little bit of a factor in the third game and we started to unravel and we couldn’t get it back together.”

Fall sports season underway at Ellicottville Central School
By Adam Silvernail Student Reporter
Although school has only been back in session for about a week, the fall sports season is already well underway. The fall sports season includes soccer, both boys and girls, football, volleyball, swimming and cross-country, which will begin competing in events soon. I recently talked to some members of each active team as well as Dave McCann, ECS athletic director, to ask them about the upcoming season. First, I asked each of them whether or not they believed they’re prepared for this season, and their responses were largely the same. Hayly Fredrickson, a member of the girls varsity soccer team, responded, “Yes, there’s been a lot of changes this season but we’ve really thought about what we need to do this season.” Brett Kryniski, a member of the varsity football team, said, “Oh yeah, for sure. We have a bunch of returning starters this year.” Bryce Butler, a boys varsity soccer team member, replied, “We’re mostly prepared.” Samantha Van Wicklin, representing the girls varsity volleyball team, simply said, “Yes.” McCann, when asked, replied,
“I believe we are prepared for the sports season. We have a lot of athletes and coaches that have put in time to preparing for the season. We had a lot of kids that were showing up to work on getting better. That is a great thing. Credit to the kids, coaches and parents for helping to get the kids there. I think that the coaches we have in place right have all hit the ground running, and approach each practice and game with enthusiasm and passion.” My next question for them was, “Where do you believe your team needs to improve?” The answers were a little more varied this time. Hayly responded, “We need to work on communication and kind of work on our passing a little bit, but I think that our skill level is pretty good.” Brett answered, “Preparing for games prior, like, hydrate and stuff.” Bryce replied with a single word, “Offence.” Samantha, when asked, said, “We need to become closer with each other and pace ourselves so we don’t get so tired.” McCann declined to answer, saying that the players would have a better answer to that than he would. My last question to each of them was “What are you most excited for
this year?” The answers were quite varied this time around as well. Hayly replied with, “I’m really excited to see how far our team can go and make some new friends.” Brett responded with, “Coming together (the team) and reaching farther, like, accomplishing our goals.” Bryce’s response was a little less noble, with him saying, “To be the last team played in the fall.” Samantha replied, “Playing Libero,” a specific position in volleyball. McCann answered, “I am most excited to see our teams go out and compete. We have some talented teams this fall. Watching them develop and improve will be fun to watch. My hope is that by playoff time, we have healthy rosters that are playing to their maximum potential. I would like to encourage community members, staff and the student body to come watch some of the things our athletes are doing. Best of luck to our all programs.” I would also like to encourage anybody who wants to see a game or support the teams to come out and do so. You can find a calendar with all the scheduled events on the school website. Regardless, I’m sure that this is going to be a great year!
Franklinville/Ellicottville rolls past A-L, 35-6, in Marsh’s coaching debut
Playing its first game under coach Jason Marsh, Franklinville/ Ellicottville piled up 296 yards on the ground and scored three second-quarter touchdowns in a season-opening rout of AlleganyLimestone. The Titans’ football team beat Allegany-Limestone, 35-6, in a Week 1 Section 6 non-league contest. Logan Frank ran for three touchdowns and tossed another to Nicholas Logel to pace the Titans. Frank rushed for 142 yards on 17 attempts and hit on 8 of 10 passes. He earned the Olean Times Herald’s Male Athlete of the Week honor for his performance. Tyler Clear started the scoring for F/E with an 89-yard run. “I liked how we got out from the start,” Marsh said. “The kids played extremely hard. Our offensive line did a great job up front opening holes. They allowed our runners to get to the second level.”
The Titans flourished under former coach Chad Bartoszek. For the first game anyway, they played just as well under Marsh, holding the Gators to 15 yards on the ground and 154 total. “I was really impressed with how the kids played,” said Marsh, the former Salamanca coach. “A lot of guys stepped up and did great things for us. I’m looking forward to that kind of effort all season.” Jayden Gustafson produced A-L’s score on a 25-yard pass from Thomas Callen. Callen finished with 139 yards on 12-of-22 through the air. Caleb Ploetz registered two sacks and three tackles for loss to lead the F/E defense.

ECS girls Soccer edge Maple Grove, 1-0, for first win Thanks to Mandy Hulrburt’s goal 11 minutes into the match, Ellicottville earned its first victory of the girls soccer season on Tuesday. The Eagles (1-1) held off Maple Grove in a tightly contested non-league matchup, 1-0. Hurlburt’s goal was assisted by Jocelyn Wyatt and Emilee Ruiz. “The game was mostly played in the middle of the field,” Ellicottville
coach Tammy Eddy said. “Each team had a few chances, and it was an evenly matched game.” Brooke Eddy made four saves in goal for Ellicottville and Maple Grove goalkeeper Kasie Craig made seven saves. Olean 2, Ellicottville 1 For the 100th time in his coaching career, Dan Freeman’s Olean girls soccer team was victorious, as the
Huskies used two firsthalf goals to defeat Ellicottville in nonleague play. “The girls made a big deal out of it and we celebrated a bit after the game,” said Freeman. “It takes a long time to get to 100 wins, so it feels good.” Rylie Gumtow scored the first goal for Olean on an assist from Lexi Gibbons, and Addie Peer added a second unassisted.
Ellicottville pressured back heavily in the second half, but a Mandy Hurlburt goal midway through the half was not enough for the Eagles. Olean goalkeeper Sam Thomas made five saves, while Brooke Eddy had 10 saves in goal for Ellicottville.

FALL IS A SUPER SEASON FOR SHAPING UP
By Kim Duke How many New Year’s Eves have you spent sipping champagne and vowing to get more fit in the coming year? And how many times have you failed to follow through?
“December 31 over a drink is too late to set goals and make promises,” says Justin Price, owner of The Biomechanics, a personal training and wellness coaching facility in San Diego, Calif. Fall, on the other hand, is a great time to start a fitness program because “you’re going to create good habits for the holiday season and the upcoming winter months,” Price says. Here are some ways to start making the most of the season. And who knows? This year, you might be in great shape before that New Year’s Eve party rolls around.
1. Take advantage of the weather. Fall can be a treat for the senses: the crisp air, apple picking, pumpkin carving, a gorgeous canopy of fall foliage and the crunch of leaves underfoot. These months are a great time to exercise outdoors and enjoy cooler temperatures. “Walking, hiking and cycling are all awesome in the fall,” says Todd Durkin, MS, fitness coach and owner of Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego, Calif. Discover park trails and take in some new scenery, whether you’re walking or biking. Or, if you live near the beach, get out and play volleyball, throw the
Frisbee around or play a vigorous game of fetch with your dog. “It’s a great time to do beach activities because it’s so much less crowded,” Price says. If you’re near a lake, try kayaking or canoeing, for an excellent whole-body workout and a great change of pace. 2. Integrate exercise into your life. You already know the obvious suggestions: park farther away from your destination; take stairs instead of elevators; take a walk during your lunch break. 3. Rejuvenate yourself.
Fall is the time to rejuvenate body, mind and spirit, says Durkin. Get a massage after your run. Learn to meditate. Take an art class. Treat yourself not just with exercise but other activities that promote wellness, he says, so you can feel good physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 4. Remember the 30day rule. “It takes about four weeks for the body to adapt to lifestyle changes,” says Price. That’s why people who give up on their fitness programs tend to do so within the first 30 days. So if you get out of
ECS receives positive audit for 2018-19 school year
By Kellen M. Quigley
The Ellicottville Central School Board of Education received a positive audit of the district’s 2018-19 year finances at its regular Tuesday meeting with a presentation by Keith Carrington and Danna Isaman, auditors from Buffamante, Whipple, Buttafaro, PC. Isaman said ECS was issued an unmodified opinion in the audit, which is the highest level opinion the school could receive, which is very good. As part of the audit, Isaman said they identified one instance that is considered a material weakness, which is that Buffamante, Whipple, Buttafaro put together the financial statements. “We do have one instance of non-compliance, and that has to do with the unassigned fund balance being in access of 4 percent,” she said. In the district’s long-term government statements, including capital assets and longterm debts, Isaman said both assets and liabilities decreased last year and there was a positive surplus. In expenditures, she said it was in line with previous years, showing a small bump in general revenues. In the general fund, assets and liabilities are both up. Isaman said in the assets, the biggest driver in the increase was an increase of the cash balance. For the liabilities, there was a rate increase for both the retirement funds and salaries. For revenues in the general fund, Isaman said the year ended at about $12.4 million. She said the increases for revenues is primarily due to increases in property taxes. For expenditures, there was about a $300,000 increase, due partly due to increases in general support and instruction, such as salaries and BOCES services. Carrington then went over the food service fund in the district. He said the total assets increased overall, due in part to an increase in cash. He said the total liabilities also increased, but for the second year in a row, the school’s total fund equity increased.
Revenue was down last year, Carrington said, due to an unusual, one-time transfer from the general fund in order to fund some purchases in the cafeteria. The federal resources slightly increased, Carrington said. Although there was an increase in federal reimbursement rates for school lunches, the participation at ECS decreased, which balanced it out. Additionally, Carrington said the sales were down because there is no longer a GED program at BOCES. For 2017-18, there was a net income of about $48,000, but that’s down to $25,000 for last year. Carrington said that it also increases the district’s total fund equity, which is a nice trend to see for the school’s lunch program. In special state and federal funding, Carrington said state revenue is down, but federal revenue is up. He said there are a few programs in the district that received funding. In the audit’s management letter, Carrington said they had a couple of recommendations for the district, including monitoring a few different accounts so they equal out at the end of the year. Another recommendation was to look at extra-curricular activities to decide which are more part of the school’s operations and which aren’t. Carrington said how the district accounts for its leases of busses will also slightly change in 2020.
IN OTHER BUSINESS, Superintendent Bob Miller gave is report to the school board, saying there is a lot going on for the start of the school year but not too much to report. “The beginning of the school year is always so busy. There’s just so many things going on,” he said. “It’s been a very smooth start to the school year.” Miller said the district recently met with the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce concerning the upcoming lacrosse tournament weekend. He said the staff will be helping line the fields and will have chaperones and maintenance staff on hand during the weekend. “Hopefully everything will work out smoothly as it has the past two years,” he added. For athletics, Miller said the transportation of individual students participating in sports at other school districts this year has gone well. In her report, Elementary Principal Maren Bush said the elementary school is having a great start to the year. She said they have a program tracking how kids are doing in math and reading and they will have a meeting in October to discuss which students may need extra support. The elementary school received book donations talking about various topics, such as friendship, staying safe and helping others, among others. Bush said several local Ellicottville-area organizations and businesses donated the books. Finally, the school has a character appreciation wall where students who demonstration of the character trait of the month will have their picture put up on the wall, Bush said. In the high school, Miller reported for Principal Erich Ploetz, who said the parking lot situation seems to be working well so far. Miller said they may run out of spots for students by half-way through the year, but Ploetz is working on alleviating that on a regular basis.

‘A Better Man’ by Louise Penny
It’s Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, and due to catastrophic spring flooding, waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil, a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter. As crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos and realizes the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father and he resumes the search. As the rivers rise, and the social media onslaught against Gamache becomes crueler, a body is discovered. And in the tumult, mistakes are made. Gamache must ultimately face a horrific possibility, and the burning question: what would you do if your child’s killer walked free? 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 or eAudiobook version to your own device using your library card!

IDA accepts HoliMont application for sales tax breaks to get back on the grid By Rick Miller
HoliMont wants to get back on the grid. After nearly two decades of operating its own powerhouse, providing electricity to operate North America’s largest private ski resort, HoliMont operators are looking to again purchase power from National Grid. Ed Youmans, general manager, presented a request to the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency for sales tax exemption for $948,000 in purchases, including about $450,000 to get back on the grid. The sales tax breaks for the project are about $76,000. HoliMont comptroller Sue Quattrone said it is one of the larger projects the resort has proposed in recent years. The resort has about 30 employees with an annual payroll of $2.2 million. About $770,000 of the upcoming project is machinery and equipment costs, $90,000 for the building and $80,000 for office equipment. In addition, Youmans said snowmaking equipment and a new grooming machine were also part of the package, as was a new point-of-sale system, two shuttle buses, general slope work and the widening of ski runs. Youmans said the natural gas-fueled generator limited the resort’s snowmaking when the chairlifts were operating. Getting electricity delivered by National Grid will change that. “I think we are going to be a pretty good customer for them,” he said. The generation plant has been a boon to the resort, Youmans said, although it is not easy to maintain.
“These machines are not new,” he said. “We could still throw a switch any time we need the generator plant.” The new connection to the grid, once it is finished in November, will mean the most at the beginning of the season when the resort looks to use snowmaking on as many of the slopes as possible. Youmans said the connection to the grid will involve construction of a 20foot by 40-foot building. After the IDA board accepted the HoliMont application, executive director Corey Wiktor said a public hearing would be held on the project before next month’s IDA meeting. The IDA also voted to spend up to $5,000 to hire a consultant to review its payment in lieu of taxes (P.I.L.O.T.) policy regarding solar projects. Last month the IDA voted for a six-month moratorium on applications for tax breaks for solar projects. The county has operating three solar projects in the city of Olean. Two others in West Valley and Portville have been approved for construction, while five or six are waiting in the wings, including a large 160- acre site in Franklinville, two 75-acre sites in Great Valley and two 3- to 5-megawatt projects in Machias, Wiktor said. The solar power study is expected to recommend how the IDA should proceed with respect to how much per megawatt should be included in P.I.L.O.T. payments. And how long the P.I.L.O.T.s should be for solar. The terms are now 15 years. It’s unlikely a solar farm operator would continue to run it if the solar panels were on the tax rolls.
Times file photo After nearly two decades of operating its own powerhouse, providing electricity to operate North America’s largest private ski resort, HoliMont operators are looking to again purchase power from National Grid.
“The developers say they can’t afford more than $5,000 a megawatt,” said IDA chairman Thomas Buffamante. That is what the study hopes to find out, he added. Wiktor said the length of the P.I.L.O.T.s might affect the amount of money available for the municipality, county and school district to share. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority will support longer P.I.L.O.T. terms, Wiktor said. Two applications for projects are expected next month, Wiktor told the board: The $4 million Phase 2 of
Field of Dreams, the new assisted living facility in Allegany, and a $450,000 Four Mile Brewing Co. project involving more equipment. An adaptive reuse application for two North Union Street buildings in Olean are also possible, Wiktor said. The IDA board also heard from Valessa Souter-Kline, project manager for the 340-megawatt Alle-Catt Wind Farm spanning five towns in three counties including Farmersville and Freedom in Cattaraugus County. The 117-turbine Alle- Catt project would site 23 turbines in Farmersville and 34 in
Great Valley show horse gets help from Cornell experts
Photo via Cornell University Anjanette Nicolazzo is shown with Wrangler, an 11-year-old horse from Great Valley.
When Wrangler, an 11-year-old quarter horse gelding living in Great Valley, bolted at a horse show in April 2016, owner Anjanette Nicolazzo knew something was amiss. “I was baffled,” Nicolazzo says. “I had ridden him for eight months prior to this, and he had never done anything of the sort. I knew his bolting was a cry for help because it was so out of character for him.” It was a long road of diagnosis, then treatment, surgery and rehab for Wrangler, but the difficult case handled by Cornell University Hospital for Animals had a happy ending for horse and rider. The story was detailed this week in an article by Lauren Cahoon Roberts for the Cornell Chronicle. It turns out, Wrangler had been hiding a painful condition known as “kissing spine” — a condition in which the vertebrae touch or grind
against each other. Prior to that 2016 show, Wrangler showed other signs of discomfort. A Springville veterinarian referred Nicolazzo to the Cornell animal hospital for an evaluation. Dr. Elaine Claffey, a surgeon with Cornell’s Equine Hospital, and Cornell Ruffian Equine Specialists in Elmont, saw Wrangler for an orthopedic exam to look for any lameness or pain associated with his muscles or bones. Wrangler wasn’t lame but had back pain. Cornell’s Diagnostic Imaging service was called on to acquire high-definition X-rays of Wrangler’s back vertebrae. X-rays revealed that 11 of Wrangler’s vertebrae suffered from kissing spine; four were so severe, they had fused together. It was one of the worst cases Claffey had ever seen. Nicolazzo gave Wrangler back injections to alleviate his pain, but after a week,
Nicolazzo knew surgery was the answer. Claffey performed the complicated, fourhour surgery in August 2016 with colleagues Dr. Jackie Hill and Dr. Norm Ducharme. Using X-ray guidance, the team cut parts of the vertebrae that were touching to provide more space for comfortable movement. Following surgery, Wrangler had a yearlong recovery period. Nicolazzo spent between two and three months on each stage of his rehabilitation, slowly working on building the horse’s muscles, strength and endurance before finally putting him under saddle again. “The first day I decided to ride him, he walked around like nothing had happened over the last year — he didn’t skip a beat,” Nicolazzo says in the Cornell article. “My heart was so full. It was one of the best feelings and days I have ever had.” Nicolazzo and
Wrangler returned to CUHA for a recheck orthopedic exam roughly 10 months after the surgery. Wrangler’s incision had healed perfectly, and he had no signs of pain through the area that was treated surgically. Approximately a year after his surgery, Wrangler and Nicolazzo were back in the show ring. The duo competed at the All-American Quarter Horse Congress show in October of 2018 in Columbus, Ohio, winning the championship in the hunter under saddle division and placing in the Top 10 in all other divisions. But just being back together as a team after such an ordeal is enough for Nicolazzo. “Having him at shows in general, win or lose, we’ve won,” she says. “I will forever be indebted to the Cornell team for literally saving my horse’s life.”
Freedom, Souter-Kline said. The developer, Invenergy, was looking at 400 prevailing wage local construction. One IDA member, Vergilio “Dick” Giardini, who is a county legislator, asked if contractors wouldn’t bring workers from other states to build the wind turbines. “I want to see local people,” he added. The Cattaraugus County Legislature voted last year to recommend that the IDA not grant tax breaks to large wind projects. The turbines would be 600 feet tall from ground to blade tip.

Several public hearings set for October by Great Valley Town Board

By Kellen M. Quigley The October meeting of the Great Valley Town Board could be a busy one after the board set several public hearings for next month during its regular meeting Monday. First, the town set a public hearing for its Oct. 14 meeting at 7 p.m. concerning the town going over the tax cap for its 2020 budget. “As we move into our budget season, we know we’re going to be over the tax cap,” said Town Supervisor Dan Brown, adding that they want to get the public hearing done sooner before they run out of time at the end of the year. “We have to pass (the tax cap) before we pass the budget.” Next, the board set a public hearing concerning a new contract with Charter One, which hasn’t had a contract with the town for over a decade. “They come into Snow Pine village area and the school,” Brown said. “They service about 123 customers at just the school.” Later in the meeting, the board set a public hearing concerning adopting a new senior tax exemption local law in the county for residents of the town. “In the past, it was a very small number of people in town, just a handful,” Brown said. Then, the town set a public hearing to consider whether or not to opt-out of the 50-year exemption on property taxes for solar or wind projects. Finally, a public hearing was set to discuss passing a moratorium to hold off on local approval of wind or solar projects that are larger than 25 megawatts that may come into the town. Although state laws prohibit municipalities from completely banning large-scale solar projects from setting up in the town, the board can pass local laws to regulate size, location
and setbacks, according to town attorney Peter Sorgi. “In the meantime, the planning board thought it was prudent to enact a moratorium on any local approval of wind or solar projects electric generation facilities over 25 megawatts for a period of six months so the town and planning board can look at regulations,” Sorgi said. IN OTHER BUSINESS, Brown updated the board on a new plan for the grounds behind the town hall. Although a plan to build a basketball court back there was not to be this year, a recreation area including a court and more could be coming in 2020. Brown discussed the early plans to develop the open property to include recreation facilities for community members to use, including picnic areas and sports fields. At the northeast end of the town’s property, there would be enough space to build a full-sized basketball court, Brown said. “We talked about putting a paved access trail from Great Valley Road across to the town property so senior citizens could utilize this area,” he said. “There’s room there to put a small pole building with a picnic area in there.” Brown said with the court’s location near the driveway and town’s pole barn, it would save the town money by not having to bring trucks out into the middle of the field and ruin the grounds. He also said it would be better for parking, even with the nearby baseball diamond on the other side of the proposed space for the court. “There could be two different pavilions,” Brown said. “There would be a smaller one (by the playground) to go with the rental of the town hall, and then another small one
with one or two picnic tables (by the basketball court).” Brown said he would continue to work with the engineers to come up with more designs that the board could look at again. At the Kill Buck Memorial Park, Brown said the refrigerator stopped working. The town will look at fixing it, but the board said a fridge isn’t needed down there and it could be removed completely. “We have $15,000 to spend down there,” he said. “Does the board want me to get some ideas and prices on opening the kitchen area up.” By removing the old kitchen, Brown said they could open up a small stage area at the pavilion and have a smaller snack shack area. “We could still open that up, and just work around the cooler or not,” he added. A proposal to have a monthly food pantry held at the town hall will have its preliminary sign-up day on Oct. 5, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the town hall. There will be free hot dogs and refreshments. “They’re hoping to launch the pantry at the end of October or beginning of November, depending on interest,” Brown said. “They’ll put a sign out here in front of the building to let people know that’s available for a week or so prior to that.” As work for the Bonn Way water system gets underway, Brown said the town was able to knock about $6,000 off the original estimate. However, the generator needs to be replaced. Brown said it’s the original generator. “The good news is the pumps that we are putting in are much smaller in size, so it will not need as large of a generator,” he added. The next regular meeting of the Great Valley Town Board is scheduled for Oct. 14 at 7 p.m.
savings
By Rick Miller Cattaraugus County and its municipalities are in line for more than $900,000 in state reimbursement for shared services savings in 2018. The county was one of four counties in the state who last year pioneered the state’s Shared Services Initiative to encourage municipalities to cooperate, become more efficient and save money. The New York State Department of State has just announced approvals of 2018 shared services submissions. While the state Comptroller’s Office has yet to grant its approval, a $903,000 savings was shown through shared services between municipalities and between the county and the municipalities. Cattaraugus County Administrator Jack Searles said initial estimates were savings of $1.5 million over 31 projects. Some of those projects did not realize intended savings because they could not be implemented in 2018 or because they were otherwise ineligible. The Shared Services Consortium met Aug. 29 at the Ellicottville Town Center to begin plans for the 2019 submission. The municipalities started looking for new shared services options
to implement next year. Searles, who is chairman of the consortium, said projects will have to be submitted by Sept. 12. A large share of the savings, $178,466, came from joint property tax assessing for six towns. Machias saved $8,325, Otto saved $22,725, Dayton saved $24,126, Little Valley saved $29,433, Persia saved $33,591 and Great Valley saved $60,263. The county Real Property Tax Services Office helped the towns with assessments. That service is expected to expand to other municipalities next year. Eventually, enough municipalities will be participating so the office will become a defacto county-wide assessment office. More savings were recorded through shared services between the county Public Works Department and several town highway departments. There were $247,000 in savings from municipal purchases from the county Public Works Department, $266,000 in savings from the county’s participation in the Municipal Insurance Reciprocal, $51,752 through computerized municipal public works equipment availability, and $148,000 for the town of Olean’s purchase of an Asphalt
Zipper. Searles said those attending the Aug. 29 meeting discussed a new proposal for shared services including bid sharing, code enforcement/building inspection, real property data collection and information technology. The county administrator said the town supervisors and village and city officials have separate associations and do not meet often to discuss areas where the municipalities can cooperate. Searles said it’s important to make sure the shared services proposals are something that can be accomplished in 2020. The state reimbursement is for the first year of savings only, he added. If a shared services initiative is proposed but not implemented on time, it might not be eligible for future reimbursement. The state report showed Cattaraugus County leading the rest of the state among counties that chose to participate in the state’s Shared Services Initiative the first year, Searles said. It was one of four counties that participated. “We’re trying to put together another plan,” the county administrator said. “It’s all about municipalities coming together.”

Photo courtesy Seneca Allegany Casinos World-famous illusionist Criss Angel will perform an intimate, raw magic show Saturday at the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino.
By Kellen M. Quigley A theatrical magic experience you’ve likely never seen before is coming to town this Saturday when Criss Angel takes the stage at the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino. “Criss Angel RAW – The Mindfreak Unplugged” will be performed Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Seneca Allegany Events Center. Tickets start at $45. Best known for his TV shows and dazzling tricks, Angel will perform famous sleight-of-hand street magic, mentalism and even some of his most iconic illusions that will come to life in front of a live audience. This show is only for those 18 and older. According to his website, “Criss Angel RAW – The Mindfreak Unplugged” is Angel’s third and most recent touring production, debuting in January of 2018 with sold-out shows in nine cities. Born Christopher Nicholas Sarantakos in 1967 to parents of Greek descent, Angel began his magic career at a young age, starting to perform in shows as a teenager in the greater New York City area. Angel’s first professional gig game in 1994 when he performed as a part of a one-hour ABC primetime special entitled “Secrets.” From there, Angel would go on to appear in several other TV movies and
specials leading up to his own show “Criss Angel Mindfreak” in 2005. Since then, Angel has dominated the world of magic as one of the biggest names in the history of the business. From his role as star, creator, executive producer and director of the most successful magic television series of all time, “Criss Angel Mindfreak” on A&E Network, to his bestselling Las Vegas stage shows, he is possibly the most influential and imitated magician of the modern era. Throughout this career, Angel has done countless critically acclaimed television specials and series, written best-selling books and sold topgrossing retail products, albums and more. Appealing to younger audiences and taking advantage of 21st-century technology, Angel is also the most-watched magician on the internet. His “Walk on Water” clip has generated over 60 million views on YouTube, and all his clips combined have generated more than 300 million views. He also has the largest social media following of any illusionist, with over 6 million followers. According to his website, Angel has been named “Magician of the Year” six times, including from The Magic Castle, and was the youngest magician inducted into the International Magicians Society Hall of Fame. He
was also presented with a lifetime achievement award, The World Magic Legacy Award “A Living Legend” at The World of Magic Seminar in Las Vegas. Additionally, Angel has also been named “Magician of the Decade,” “Magician of the Century” and “Innovator of the Decade.” He received an International Magic Lifetime Achievement Award and was unanimously selected as the recipient of the 22nd Louie Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Art of Magic. In July of 2017, Angel was honored with the 2,615th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The star was dedicated at 7018 Hollywood Boulevard next to the historic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and across the street from the star of Harry Houdini, Angel’s magician idol. “Criss Angel RAW – The Mindfreak Unplugged” is performed in an intimate, raw setting, meaning the audience will be up-close and personal with Angel as he performs his world-renowned tricks. This promises to be an extraordinary evening of magic in a stripped-down, in-your-face show. Tickets may be purchased at any Seneca Resorts & Casinos location, online at ticketmaster.com, at any Ticketmaster location or order by phone by calling 1-800-745-3000.

AUTUMN 7 things you need to know about eco-friendly homes
Improved practices in the construction industry reflect the greening of building codes across America. This proactivity is highlighted by advancements in window daylighting, insulation, air infiltration, and new wall-building materials. Here’s everything you need to know about choosing methods and materials, such as insulated concrete forms, that are even more energy efficient than the minimums required by building codes.
1. You’ll save money. “A huge step forward is to replace the traditional wood framing of your house with what we call ICFs - insulated concrete forms,” says Keven Rector at Nudura, a leading name in this technology. Building the envelope of your house with concrete instead of
wood delivers an energy efficiency rating as high as R-50 (compared to an average R-20 in wood structures), saving you up to 70 percent on utility bills. 2. You’ll be protected from natural disasters. Homes built with ICFs are disaster-resilient, offering you the safety of fire resistance and hurricane windresistance of up to 250 miles per hour. 3. You’ll be more comfortable. Say goodbye to mold, cold spots and drafts. Green homes with this concrete system are far less prone to these problems.
than wood framing,” explains Rector. “Timestrapped builders and eager homeowners benefit equally from this efficiency.”
4. You’ll get in your new home sooner. “ICF construction assures the adherence to American building codes, takes up less shipping space, requires less manpower at the site, and the assembly is faster
5. You’ll achieve higher property value. Remember that highquality materials will stand up to the test of time. For example,
reinforced concrete as the main structural element is more durable and requires less maintenance and repair over its lifetime compared to wood structures that require regular maintenance over their limited life span. 6. You’ll hear less
unwanted outside noise. A home that uses ICF construction dampens sound vibrations, sheltering you from noisy neighbors, traffic and trains. 7. You’ll help the environment. With the concrete option, countless trees remain untouched.
And with reduced energy consumption and less tapping of natural resources every day, just imagine the contribution your house will make towards achieving a sustainable environment over the years.
Consider moisture issues when choosing insulation
By Scott McGillivray
We insulate our homes primarily to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer. As a result, most of us evaluate insulation based on its thermal properties, which is definitely important to consider. However, there is another aspect of wall and ceiling insulation that should be considered before making a final decision, and that’s moisture. If you choose the wrong insulation, moisture can seriously damage the long-term performance of the insulation,
drastically reducing the benefits it offers to your home. Although wall and ceiling cavities may be out of sight after a home is built, they are very important spaces in residential construction and remodeling projects. They play a critical role in managing the interior temperature, noise level, air-flow and mold levels. It is important that the insulation in the walls and ceilings works just as well years after installation as it does the day after the project is completed. This means that the insulation needs to
stay consistent over time -- any sagging, compressing or rotting will compromise the safety and comfort of
your home. To combat these potential problems, look for insulation that does not absorb

water, but repels it. Stone wool insulation, like that produced by Roxul, is a good choice. Water-resistance is important yearround, but especially in summer, when humidity levels rise, and in spring and fall, when rain and moisture levels can increase dramatically. It’s vital that your insulation won’t compress or sag within the wall or ceiling cavity, because when insulation materials compress and sag, they leave gaps, compromising the thermal performance of the wall. Cold, heat and sound can pass through much more easily, creating a living space that’s less comfortable and more expensive to heat and cool. Another important consideration when choosing insulation
is mold resistance. Materials that resist mold growth, like stone wool, are essential to the health of your home and family. Because mold feeds on organic matter, selecting an insulation that is composed of nonorganic matter is ideal to prevent rot. Keeping moisture and mold at bay with a quality insulation will contribute to a safer indoor environment and provide energy savings and comfort benefits that can last for the lifetime of a home.

the seasonal brew, Pumpkinville Latte. On four weekends in October, Ellicottville Brewing will present beer tasting at Pumpkinville, including Pumpkinville Latte. “We’re really proud to be in partnership with Ellicottville Brewing Company,” Dan said. Pumpkinville is again this year teaming up with Olean’s Pink Pumpkin Project. The first nine days of the season including the first two weekends have been dubbed Sunflower Daze, Dan said. Visitors can ride a hay wagon to the big sunflower field where they can pick their own for 6 for $5. Proceeds go 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 on Friday, Sept. 6 and moving 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 will not open this fall. Even the apples are a little late in coming this year, Dan said. They’ll be pressing cider by opening day, Sept. 14. It’s made 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 six-acre 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.
Holiday Valley donates awning to Rotary, Nannen Arboretum
Photo submitted
Holiday Valley recently donated an automatic awning to enhance the patio at the Rotary Auditorium and Nannen Arboretum event venue. This 20-foot-by-40foot awning will provide a perfect transition from the auditorium patio to the arboretum. The town of Ellicottville purchased this building from the Cornell Cooperative Extension and worked with the Rotary Club of Ellicottville to renovate the auditorium and patio. This great event center has become a popular spot for weddings and other parties. “The donation of the
awning and installation is a fantastic benefit and illustrates the continued support of our community by Holiday Valley and the Rotary Club,” said Town Supervisor Matt McAndrew. With the donation from Holiday Valley covering the entire patio area will enhance the overall experience for anyone using this venue. The installation of the structure was donated by the Ellicottville Rotary Club. According to Greg Cappelli, the Rotary Club had investigated purchasing such an awning, but the cost was prohibitive due to the size required. As luck
would have it, the club spoke to Bonnie Kochir about the awning that had been used at the Hearth during the renovation of the Cabana Bar. Kochir worked with management and, through their generous support, the awning was installed. “The retractable awning is a welcomed addition to the patio area,” McAndrew said. “The town appreciates the donation of the awning and installation. The project is a great example of the continued support of our community by Holiday Valley and the Rotary Club.”
