Powell sees Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival growing in third year By Sam Wilson

Entering his third year hosting a tournament here, Ryan Powell feels the reputation of Ellicottville growing in the region’s lacrosse community. The third annual Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival takes place this weekend at two local sites, bringing lacrosse players from as young as the third/fourth grade division to the 30-plus and 45-plus-yearold “Master “Divisions,” mostly from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Canada. On Monday, Powell, the tournament director from his business, Rhino Lacrosse, sounded excited by sunny late-September days in the forecast. “It looks like it’s supposed to be pretty nice this weekend, so we’re excited about that,” Powell said. “We have more men’s teams than we’ve had in years past so we’re excited about the growth on that side of things, and people have been talking about it, so a lot of teams will be returning for the third year in a row, so we’ve got something pretty good starting here where the excitement is getting around the lacrosse community about the area of Ellicottville and the tournament that we put on.” Powell, 41, a former All-American at Syracuse and former pro at the NLL and MLL levels, founded Rhino Lacrosse in 2005 and runs camps, clinics and tournaments throughout the country. He compared Ellicottville favorably to many of the towns that lacrosse tournaments have ﬂourished in. “There’s a lot of things about Ellicottville that are really cool,” Powell said. “Some of the most

EVGV Trail work begins in Ellicottville

By Deb Everts

Construction for Phase One of the Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail has begun. With written land rights approved on all the properties involved, trail work is underway from the Ellicottville town center over to the Tim Hortons area along Route 219. Mark Alainello, of MDA Engineering, said the work planned for this year was to get Phase One done, which was cutting trees and clearing. He said that work began Sept. 9 and would likely be wrapped up this week. The hope is to get the area stabilized and covered before the end of the month, but that will be it for this year. “The trail is deﬁnitely not ready for use and should be considered a construction site for the time being,” he said. “It would not be safe for public use, so we are asking people not to use the trail.

Photo courtesy of Southern Tier West Construction on the Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail began Sept. 9. The east end of the trail is currently ending just across the creek from Tim Hortons along Route 219. The parking lot can be seen in the upper center of the photo. To the right is St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.

Signs to that effect are being posted this week. There are a number of culverts, a bridge and numerous safety amenities that need to be part of the ﬁnal construction before it is safe to use.”

The trail linking Ellicottville to Great Valley was ﬁrst proposed about six years ago. Prior to this work, the only thing that has been completed is the structure at the trailhead at the town center, which

was built by BOCES students two years ago. Along the way, there have been challenges such as fundraising, insurance, easements, permits and outreach. According to Alainello, the Wetlands Disturbance Permit from the Army Corp of Engineers was approved allowing tree cutting during the dry months of the year. That also involved a release from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for endangered and threatened species. He said northern long-eared bats could have been an issue, but there are none documented in the town of

money to buy a good, used bucket truck on their own. The town has agreed to find a truck, split the cost, and split the usage of it. The purchase of buying a bucket trump is pending Town Board approval. The board also discussed an anonymous letter received from the public regarding individual matters. The letter left a warning that “someone is always watching.” The board did not appear concerned by the matter. Special Events advisor Spencer Murray updated the board on Rock ‘n’ Roll Weekend. Murray felt that the weekend went great. There were some parking issues regarding the Catholic Church and owners of the cars being shown, overall the event was a success. Burrell also commented that it “was a success.” Many families, locals and tourists were in attendance. Murray also reported that the plans for the Lacrosse Tournament are underway. The school and Holiday Valley is ready to host the tournament. Since Fall Fest is coming up, Murray also said “we made some good changes last year and we look forward to continue to make good changes.” Discussions of a joint sidewalk project between the village, town and county also resumed. The idea is to redo sidewalks from Mill Street to McKinley Street. In order to do so, all communities must agree to contribute equally. Old Business consisted of the reoccurring garbage problem. The problem area is Plum Creek where there are bags of garbage filled with construction waste. These bags have been on the side of the road for three weeks. Castella Waste has very specific guidelines of what will and will not be picked up. The Village Board decided to pick up the garbage and to bill the owners of the trash. Just a reminder to please review your guidelines of trash pick-up. The last point of discussion was enforcing or changing noise ordinance. Board member Patra Lowes reported that she had been approached by several community members who felt that quiet hours on the weekends, specifically Sunday, were not being observed and may not be appropriate. The current rule is quiet hours are from 1o p.m. to 8 a.m. This will be a continuing discussion at further meetings.

During the Ellicottville Village Board’s regular meeting Sept. 16, Mayor John Burrell eagerly shared with the board that Ellicottville was one of four municipalities to have completed all of the necessary steps for the County Shared Services. Due to the expedient and precise actions taken by the town, Ellicottville will now serve as an example for the County Shared Services. Burrell also shared that Ellicottville should see the returns of the $9,000 to $1 million made in investments made in the near future. Burrell also reported that at a recent WNY Scenic Byway Meeting, Ellicottville was recognized as a site for a possible interpretive sign. The Scenic Byway is looking to fund two signs in WNY. One Ten-month-old Briar looks for a prizeTwo-year-old Dean is looking forward to feeding winning pumpkin during the opening day will be placed in Ashford, and the other the goats on Saturday, Sept. 14, the opening of Pumpkinville on Saturday, Sept. 14. will be placed in Ellicottville. The sign day of Pumpkinville. will consist of the history of skiing. Burell commented that “grandmas, aunts, uncles and spouses that do not ski are always looking for something to do.” He feels that the interpretive sign will help occupy those in the winter and help business pick up a little in Ellicottville. Ultimately, the WNY Scenic Byway committee is looking to invest $1,000 into; therefore, it will be up to the rest of the community to raise the rest. This topic will be discussed at a further meeting. In addition, Burrell spoke of an upcoming NITEC meeting at Holiday Valley. The meeting will hold discussions of Fall Fest, the impact of Fall Fest on Ellicottville and the impacts of Fall Fest travel on Western New York. Photos by Ginna Hensel Burrel and the board also discussed Easton Tobias, 2, peeks his head through a pumpkin cutout on Saturday, Sept. 14, the water budget and few concerns the opening day of Pumpkinville. surrounding it.

Camryn Early struck within the first minute of the game to lead Ellicottville (3-2) to a 2-0 girls soccer victory past Portville on Tuesday. Mandy Hurlburt netted the second goal for the Eagles with five minutes remaining in the first half. “Ellicottville played a very good game,” Portville coach Jesse Archer said. “They seemed to be conditioned well. They kept us on our toes all game, as it shows with using making 14 saves and their goalie only having

ECS boys ﬁnish off Portville in OT

The Portville boys soccer team did an admirable job of containing dynamic Ellicottville duo Jack Snyder and Bryce Butler for nearly 90 minutes. In the one instance it didn’t, however, it meant the game. Butler tallied off a Jack Snyder feed with two minutes remaining in the ﬁrst overtime session to break a scoreless deadlock and lift the Eagles to a 1-0 CCAA East triumph on Monday. The pairing has accounted for 11 of Ellicottville’s 14 goals this season. On Monday, Snyder carried the ball past multiple defenders — twice — before laying in a “nice little pass” to Butler, whose shot ricocheted off a defender and into the net. “I thought we were outmatched (at times),” but I thought my kids played hard, they stepped up to the

challenge,” PCS coach J.J. McIntosh said. “Ellicottville did a better job of keeping the ball and ﬁnding better scoring opportunities, but we still had some of our own. “We put it on goal a few times and just couldn’t put it away. They’re a good team, and I thought we hung with them. We were right there, it was ours, but we just couldn’t capitalize. They had an opportunity and their two biggest threats made us pay.” Backup goalkeeper Justin Imhoff made six saves to earn the shutout for the Eagles (5-2), who have won ﬁve straight, while Tyler Robinson turned away 10 shots for the Panthers (23-1).

National Alpaca Week September 28-29

Local farms to participate in National Alpaca Farms Days next weekend By Deb Everts

Several Cattaraugus County farms are set to join other alpaca farms across the country to observe National Alpaca Farms Day next weekend, Sept. 28 and 29. During this weekend, families will have the opportunity to visit the farms where they can get up-close to alpacas for a hands-on experience. Visitors can learn about the animals and their history, how to raise them, their ﬂeece and the products made from it. Alpaca farm owners will be happy to offer tips and suggestions to visitors who might be interested in beginning their own small alpaca operation. People will learn the cost of having an alpaca, the babies (cria) and the tax beneﬁts. Sugartown Farms of Ellicottville will be participating in Alpaca Farm Days and plan to be open both Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Helen and Timm Herman welcome visitors to their alpaca farm, located at 6277 Sugartown Road, just south of the village line. Co-owner Helen Herman said they will have alpacas available for viewing and touching. They’ll talk about the alpacas during an educational tour and their gift shop, Sugartown Farms

Store, will be open. “We’ve been in the business about 15 years,” she said. “We currently have about 50 alpacas in our herd. Six cria have been born, with two more to go.” Herman said their farm store offers a wide variety of quality alpaca apparel including sweaters, socks, hats, gloves, sweaters, and scarves. It also features a selection of handmade heirloom quality bears; blankets; and soft, fleecy toys for a very special and unique baby gift. Spinners, knitters and fiber artists will find a wide range of products including yarns, rovings, raw fleeces and batting. Sugartown Farms is open weekends and weekdays by appointment year-round. Herman said they also host an open house the weekend of Ellicottville’s Fall Fest during Columbus Day Weekend. To learn more,

LadySong Farm is unable to participate because they will be at the Western New York Fiber Festival that weekend. While there, owner Judith Korff will be happy to meet anyone interested in alpacas and discuss the prospects of the future of the industry, raising Suri alpacas, or designing and marketing alpaca ﬁber products.

F/E rushes past Randolph, moves to 2-0 on year

Battling a gusting wind on Friday night, Sept. 13, that made passing almost impossible, Franklinville/ Ellicottville and Randolph were forced to run to move the ball and score points. It was an ideal climate for the Titans, who rushed through and around the Cardinals for 354 yards and a 28-6 Section 6, Class D football victory. Logan Frank led F/E (2-0) with 175 yards on 20 carries and three touchdowns. Jordan Grinols also cracked the 100-yard mark with 103 on 14 rushes to help the Titans rip off 28 straight points after they fell behind late in the first quarter. “I thought in the first half that we struggled getting our run game going,” F/E coach Jason Marsh said. “In the second half we were more in control of the game. We were executing up front and moving bodies.” Randolph (1-1) opened the scoring a on 22-yard run from Xander Hind. The Cardinals were struck in neutral the rest of the way, however, as the Titans limited them to 54 total yards. “Our defense was stout,” Marsh said. “We had one series on defense where we had some miscues. They had a drive with two big plays in it. Randolph runs the option well and we missed a couple assignments. But our defense settled in and played extremely well after that.” Randolph didn’t attempt a pass while F/E misfired on each of its four attempts. Frank made up for the

lack of passing by scoring on runs of 68 and 1 yards in the second quarter and adding a 3-yard plunge in the fourth. In between, Grinols hit the endzone on a 40-yard scamper. Frank also put up three TD runs in an impressive season-opening win over Allegany-Limestone last week. “I thought we’d be able to run the ball,” Marsh said in summing up F/E’s two victories. “We have some good athletes and experience up front. I thought we built on what we did last week.

great saying, it can be used to apply to most anything. Fred had to trademark it as others were taking credit for it. You don’t need a particular time of year to commence a habitual exercise regime, but if you think you do, then September is as good a time as any. The problem with starting

something new is the anxiety that goes along with it, be it exercise or anything that takes you out of your comfort zone. One of the most important things to remember is in the beginning, don’t set the bar too high. Take baby steps. If you don’t workout you can’t expect that overnight you

At the Ellicottville Village Planning Board last regular scheduled meeting Sept. 10, there were three public hearings held with 12 members of the public in attendance. Among the attendees were two young, booming entrepreneurs there to answer any questions regarding their application for an ax-throwing lounge in Ellicottville on 14 Washington St. The board granted a special use permit to establish an indoor entertainment use. It will consist of a hatchet-throwing lounge with a bar and food service. Representatives of the Ratchet Hatchet expressed that they plan to mainly focus on ax throwing. There will be several “lane marshalls” to monitor the throwing in one to two lanes to keep their customers safe. The targets will be mounted on an inside wall to help reduce noise and vibrations. Ratchet Hatchet plans to be open Thursday through Sunday, with the exact times to be determined. The representatives of the Ratchet Hatchet made it clear that the ax-throwing lounge is not a late-night partying scene. They are focused on the safety

you need to really kick it up a few notches and not give it up. One good habit tends to lead to another. When you start to exercise and feel better you don’t really want to cram your body with unhealthy foods. You get more sleep. You take better care of your skin. Healthy just becomes your way of life.

of their clients. The next public hearing regarded a going issue at 8-10 Mechanic St. In 2016, the Village Planning Board passed a resolution which requires the owner of the property to stain all of the wood on his house a “solid color and add a white trim to it so it would look like the rest of the neighborhood.” The owner has failed to complete this task since, which led to a heated discussion between the board and the public. The homeowner now wants to add a porch addition. The board was concerned about allowing an addition when the previous obligations had not been met. The board approved a motion to require the owner to stain all the wood on his house a solid or opaque color. The board stated that “you didn’t comply with 2016, so it will be difﬁcult to offer an opportunity for you to [not] comply again.” The staining must be done ﬁrst before the porch addition is built. The last public hearing was related to the addition of a food service permit to one of the businesses in Ellicottville. The board approved to change Adventure Bound’s permit to include food and beverage. Adventure Bound will now also be home of the Ellicottville Coffee Company.

In addition, the board participated in a heated discussion over an architectural design review on 45 Elizabeth St. At a previous meeting, the board approved blueprints for an addition to the current house. After the blueprints were approved, the architect reportedly gave the wrong blueprint to the builder. This means that the current addition made to the house was not approved by the planning board. The board had a hard time grasping that the wrong blueprint was passed along. The chairwoman commented that the board had never seen such a mistake before. The board approved an additional architect review, but a stop order is still in place for construction. If any other changes are made the board asked to be notiﬁed immediately. The last piece of business on the agenda was to address a lot split on 41 Mechanic St. The property in question is currently located in two different zones between an existing house and farm. There will be no public hearing held on this point of business because it is a minor subdivision. The board approved the minor subdivision. The next regularly scheduled Ellicottville Village Planning Board will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 8.

‘The Spies of Shilling Lane’ by Jennifer Ryan

Mrs. Braithwaite, self-appointed queen of her English village, finds herself dethroned, following her husband’s selfish divorce petition. With the threat of a family secret being revealed, she sets off to London to find the only person she has left, her clever daughter Betty, who took work there at the first rumbles of war.

When she arrives, however, she ﬁnds that Betty hasn’t been home in days and there’s no telling what might have befallen her. Aghast, Mrs. Braithwaite sets her bullish determination to the task of ﬁnding her only daughter. This book provides surprising twists and turns, quiet humor, and a poignant examination of mothers and daughters and the secrets we keep. It is currently available at the Ellicottville Library in book format, or you can download for free as an eBook version to your own device using your library card.

AUTUMN How to build an eco-friendly home

Whether you’re passionate about saving the environment, want to save on energy bills and repairs, or simply need to move into your new place quickly, an eco-friendly home is the right choice for you. Fortunately, building your home guided by eco-responsibility is now easier than ever, as 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. More than just the satisfaction of knowing you’re doing your part for the earth and generations to come, incorporating green design has tangible benefits, too. Choosing methods and materials that go above and beyond the minimums of building codes offer additional advantages. If you want to reduce your energy consumption, conserve more and increase your property value, be sure to choose a builder who has a demonstrable record in ecoresponsibility. “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. “If, for instance, you

build the envelope of your house with concrete instead of wood, the energy required to heat and cool it will be significantly reduced, a plus for the environment, and along with reduced energy bills, a plus for you.”

By replacing traditional wood framing with this insulated concrete system, you’ll also enjoy lower energy bills, a sound barrier against outside noise, and a home that’s less prone to drafts, cold spots, and mold. Your home will be safer, as ICF construction is fire-resistant and able to withstand hurricane winds up to 250 miles per hour. “Builders receive workplace benefits, too,” Rector notes. “ICF construction assures the adherence to American building codes, it takes up less shipping space, requires less manpower at the site, and the assembly is faster than wood framing. Timestrapped builders and eager homeowners benefit equally from this efficiency.” If you want your builder to use ICFs, be sure to discuss it early in the plans.

Achieve the ideal sound experience at home

Advancements in digital technology over the years mean that almost anyone can own a home theatre or music room or build a recording studio in their home. When you’re planning your project, there are a number of elements that will make the difference between good and great sound. Just like in real estate, location is crucial, so finding the best space within your home will be vital. You want to find a place that will provide ample room, comfortable temperatures and easy access. A room with windows is fine, as long as they are double glazed, sealed correctly and don’t open. Be sure to install a heavy, well-insulated door to prevent sound leakage. Insulation is among the most critical steps in creating an ideal sound experience. Many professionals recommend Safe’n’Sound insulation produced by Roxul. Specially designed for your home’s interior walls, ceilings and floors to reduce the transfer of noise from one room to another, this high-density

stone wool insulation provides an excellent acoustic barrier that effectively absorbs sound. Its nondirectional fiber structure composition, density and friction-fit prevent any gaps and combat airborne noise such as music, speech and traffic sounds. Sound can often echo and reverberate. Sound dampening measures such as carpeting can help alleviate the problem or you can purchase acoustic panels that prevent sound reflections throughout your room. With basic DIY skills, you can also simply and affordably construct your own acoustic panels, using stone wool rigid board called Comfortboard IS, which is effective at reducing the intensity and propagation of noise. Insulating properly will help achieve optimal sound quality. It will also allow you to get the most of your space without disturbing the rest of your family or neighbors. All that’s left is to turn up your tunes and enjoy.

LACROSSE FESTIVAL successful tournaments that are out there are in similar type towns, Lake Placid, N.Y. being one of them. We’ve got one that’s out in Bend, Oregon, we’ve got one in Saratoga Springs, so I think that there’s a draw from the lacrosse community to cool, mountain-type towns and the vibe is important for them. It’s a beautiful place, there’s a lot to do and there’s awesome restaurants to eat at. The nightlife is really good and strong. There’s things for families to do in terms of getting up to Holiday Valley, up on the mountain and taking the carts down and things like that. “Most importantly, the chamber of commerce and Ellicottville in itself have been very supportive of lacrosse and the tournament that we’re doing and we’ve built some really good relationships with people. Everybody’s just very supportive and we hear it all the time if they love our tournament and they love the fans and the players that come to the town to participate.” The tournament begins in earnest on Saturday morning, but Finnerty’s Tap Room will hold an opening celebration from 7-10 p.m. on Friday. Games

Continued from front page run all day (starting at 8 a.m.) on Saturday and from 8 until the midafternoon on Sunday, with championship games around 11 a.m. and noon, Powell said. Games are set to be played at the Chamber Fields at the bottom of Holiday Valley and at the

Ellicottville High School ﬁelds. “There’s a good amount oh high school, JV and varsity, teams and then there’s a bunch of men’s open (divisions) and we have two masters divisions, a 30-plus and a 45-plus,” Powell said, “so that’s where we’re the heaviest. There’ll be about 40 teams that are participating.” Powell said the tournament will not feature a college game, unlike last year, as St. Bonaventure did not decide to play a fall season. “When a college team does that, it allows them to play an extra game in the springtime, so the

coach (Randy Mearns) decided that they’re not doing a fall season,” he said. “Hopefully they do that again. I know that brought some excitement and a bunch of people to the town just to come in and watch that game, so we are hoping next year that will be the case.” In addition to the games, the Seneca Nation will have a display featuring the history of lacrosse for visitors of the chamber ﬁelds. “It’s a Native American game and there’s going to be an exhibit set up to showcase the game of lacrosse and the folks from the Cattaraugus Reservation are going to be putting that on,” Powell said. “So there’ll be that kind of display at the chamber ﬁelds. That’ll be pretty cool.” And for those in the area less familiar with the sport, expect some action if you stop down to see the games. “Lacrosse is the fastest game on two feet,” Powell said. “It’s action-packed, the ball moves quickly, it’s up and down. There’s usually a lot of scoring and we have teams from multiple states, there’s teams coming from Canada and it’ll be good competition. Lacrosse is a very exciting sport to watch. Never a dull moment.”

Third Harvest Festival set for Sept. 21 in Otto By Mrs. Carlton L. Smith

The third annual Harvest Festival will be held in downtown Otto on Saturday, Sept. 21 from noon to 5 p.m. Again this year, there will be a dinner at the ﬁre hall from noon to 1 p.m. featuring local produce. This will once again be a donation meal. Pumpkin carving will be held and there will be a sand (corn) box for little folks to run their “heavy-duty” toy equipment around in. The popular “Treasure Island” will return, and there will be raft races on the creek running

alongside the ﬁre hall grounds. There will be about 100 theme baskets and also items auctioned during the day. This is an educational event bringing attention to the farmers who produce the food that ﬁnds its way to the consumer who only knows food as it is in the grocery store. This is a family-oriented event, a time to meet with neighbors and friends. Don’t forget to visit the Madora Ball Museum at the top of the hill to see the numerous historical displays located in the former church building.
