Learn about alpacas during National Alpaca Farm Days this weekend By Deb Everts

On Saturday and Sunday, alpaca farms across the country will participate in National Alpaca Farm Days. 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 also learn the cost of having an alpaca and the tax beneﬁts. Mager Mountain Alpacas at 69 Mountain View Drive, in Little Valley, will be open both days this year from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Paul and Sue Mager have enjoyed sharing their alpacas and llamas with visitors for over 15 years and promise this year’s event will be better than ever. As always, visitors can expect to experience an “alpaca adventure” learning about alpaca history while enjoying watching the crias (baby alpacas) pronk and play. Paul said there may even be a brand new cria to join the four already born this spring. Visitors can pose for pictures and get up-close and personal with Magers’ very people-friendly alpacas. They may even get an alpaca kiss. On Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Lynn Tellak will offer an alpaca obstacle course demonstration and teach visitors the proper way to handle alpacas. She

Time for fall’s bountiful harvest and other activities By Rick Miller

Photo by Rick Miller Fall colors are abundant on the ground at the Hinman Hollow Wetlands area off Route 219 north of Ellicottville. Autumn hues are slowly starting to appear in the leaves of trees as well.

Fall’s bountiful harvest of pumpkins, squash and other vegetables we have all been waiting for is upon us. Roadside fruit and vegetable stands throughout the Enchanted Mountains are awash in fall colors and the smell of apples. The Cattaraugus County Economic Development, Planning and Tourism Department encourages residents to get out and drive around. Gardner maintains the best way to see Cattaraugus County in the fall is to pick your trail and get out and drive or ride on a motorcycle. The department has a booklet Ride Guide Motor Tour Trails. They include: • Amish Trail Ride, 26 miles. • Explore Our Villages Ride, 45 miles. • Enchanted Mountains Ride,

40 miles. • Town and Country Ride, 59 miles. • Heritage Ride, 77 miles. • Blue Highway Ride, 42 miles. For more information, visit Enchanted Mountains.com or call toll free (800) 3310543. There are dozens of attractions, according to Jacquie Gardner, tourism specialist. Just to name a few, in no particular order: • Nightmare Hayrides — The scariest place in Ellicottville, where fall weekend nights turn into nightmares on the hayrides on Sommerville Valley Road.

EBC, Pumpkinville team up for Pumpkinville Latte beverage Fall is in the air, which means cozy sweaters, boots, fall beer and pumpkin everything! To satisfy your fall cravings, Ellicottville Brewing Co. and Pumpkinville Farms have collaborated to bring you Pumpkinville Latte, an enjoyable pumpkin ale with a hint of coffee. You can ﬁnd this beer at local retailers throughout WNY such as Premier Gourmet, Wegmans, Dash’s, Consumer Beverages, Tops and Walmart, to name a few. Local bars and restaurants will also be serving this pumpkin spice beer. Head brewer Dan Minner and sister Beth Harvey, EBC’s CFO, grew up going to Pumpkinville and have continued the tradition with the next generation in their family. This annual trek to familyowned and operated Pumpkinville Farms in Great Valley inspired the creation of Pumpkinville Latte. Voted Buffalo’s Best Pumpkin Patch, Pumpkinville is in its 51st season and with each year comes an additional

adventure for families to experience. You can, of course, pick pumpkins, visit the farm animals, get lost in the corn maze, mine for gems and enjoy some of the best pastries and apple cider. Pumpkinville is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. until Oct. 31. The Ellicottville Brewing

team will be sampling Pumpkinville Latte at the farm on Oct. 5, 6, 11, 12, 18 and 19. If you are looking for a fun weekend this fall, stop down and try Pumpkinville Latte, join in Pumpkinville’s activities and pick from the best pumpkins around.

13. Roots, rocks and white-knuckle action are guaranteed. Racers in several different classes from several surrounding states compete for awards and prizes in a fun and challenging course ﬁlled with challenging climbs, amazing single-track and fun/challenging downhill sections. Preregister or head down on race-day to register. The following weekend, HoliMont will host its annual HoliCX Cyclocross Race on Oct. 19. Combining the colorful landscape, cool crisp air and smell

of nature with a zigzag course, a splash of mud, some grass and a handful of barriers, the fourth annual HoliCX race has everything a biking enthusiast could want. If you like to watch other people suffer where heckling and cowbells are not only allowed but encouraged, then come out and enjoy the fun as a spectator as well. Then on Oct. 26, runners and walkers of all abilities can enjoy the weekend before Halloween with the EVL Halloween Half. This fun-ﬁlled Halloween-themed

event will feature a half marathon and a 5k through the village and surrounding hills of Ellicottville. The race will also beneﬁt local 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. If you love running, wearing costumes, meeting other people and having a great time, the EVL Half is for you.

Ellicottville schools host Open House

By Megan Hartsell Student Reporter Last Thursday, Sept. 19 was an exceptionally exciting evening for students, teachers and parents alike. Families of students in grades Pre-K through 12 are given the opportunity each year to explore Ellicottville Central School, its classrooms and meet the teachers who will be with their child for the next eight months. The greatest commotion usually occurs in the elementary school wing of the building, with young, eager students tugging at their parents’ arms, oh-so excited to introduce mom and dad to their teacher, ﬂaunt art projects and show what they’ve learned in the ﬁrst two weeks of school. Kim Woodarek, a kindergarten teacher, exclaimed that all of her students and their families came to open house, and even some previous students and their families stopped by for a visit. “Since it’s just the beginning of the school year, we are working intensively on letter recognition and sounds,” she said. “We completed two different crafts that we displayed having to do with the classic alphabet book, ‘Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.’” Woodarek said her class also colored a clown holding eight balloons, practiced reading the crayon names and in the balloons wrote the eight words that they have learned to sound out and read. “Not bad for the beginning of kindergarten,” she added. “Also, I asked my students to do word building with the cards and pictures for the words cat and hot.” Elizabeth Weber, middle school English teacher, said, “I feel that I had a good turnout for open house.” Every year, Weber said she feel as though she sees a majority of seventh-grade parents as they are new to middle school and the teachers in middle school. She said students are excited to show off their classrooms

and lockers. “I have fewer eighth-grade parents who come, which I’ve always assumed is because we met the year before,” she added. “I feel that my turn out is dependent on my class sizes for the year.” High school attendees are usually fewer and farther in between, and teachers are happy to see anyone who will pay them a visit. Crystal Wilder, middle and high school band teacher, doesn’t typically host many families on open house night. However, she did get the opportunity to enjoy open house with her daughter, Isabella, who is in 5th grade. “It’s not hard yet to juggle my daughter’s open house with mine since she is still in elementary school,” Wilder said. “Once she gets into high school, I won’t be able to talk to her teachers because I’ll have to be in the band room to visit with parents.” Isabella was in attendance for open house, and loved every minute of it. “It’s so fun to go to open house. And it’s funny when the teacher gives your parents homework!” she giggled. On the opposite end of the spectrum, high schoolers often do not attend open house. After more than a decade under the same roof with the same classmates and staff, some parents don’t feel the need to visit classrooms and teachers. Sylvia Ford, a senior, did not go to open house. She said she feels as though she is doing well, and her mom doesn’t have reason to meet her teachers. “I think that if I ever needed help my mom and I would know who to contact,” Sylvia said. “There’s not really much at open house for us to learn.” The annual ECS tradition holds great value in the eyes of parents and teachers and is an important evening for all involved. Students, commence another great year!

St. Paul’s of Ellicottville announces launch of Great Valley Food Pantry St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Ellicottville is excited to announce the launch of the Great Valley Food Pantry, a community-run and led organization that will provide easier access to supplemental food resources for those in Great Valley, Humphrey and Kill Buck. The ofﬁcial launch begins with a sign-up day on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Great Valley Town Hall on Route 219, where the pantry will set up in future months. Free hot dogs and beverages will be provided during the sign-up. Supplemental

food boxes will become available when the pantry ofﬁcially opens Oct. 26. St. Paul’s ofﬁcials believe the Great Valley Food Pantry will bring the communities of Great Valley, Humphrey and Kill Buck together by offering a food pantry in the central location of the Great Valley town building. All members of the community are welcome to volunteer at the pantry, which will be open the last two Saturdays of each month from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “As a faith community, we believe that we are called to live our lives following the example of

Jesus,” said Josh Bower, St. Paul’s Seminary Intern. “Jesus fed those who were hungry and gave drink to those who were thirsty, and we at St. Paul’s feel a call to jumpstart a program in our area that does the same.” Although the program is being launched by a religious organization, there are no religious requirements to receive food or volunteer with the pantry. “This pantry is open to and welcomes all individuals and families in our communities, regardless of religious preference or nonpreference, age, race, nationality, ability or

orientation,” Bower explained. “This is an inclusive and communityled endeavor.” For more information, you can contact St. Paul’s by phone at 864-5270, email stpaulseville@ gmail.com or visit stpaulsellicottville.com. To see if you qualify for food assistance, sign up to volunteer or ﬁnancially support the pantry, visit St. Paul’s website and click on the “Great Valley Food Pantry” tab. All that is needed to sign up for the pantry is proof of residence in Cattaraugus County and a signed statement of income qualiﬁcation.

ECS NEWS & SPORTS A-L holds on for 1-0 victory over Ellicottville

All Allegany Limestone needed was one goal to defeat Ellicottville on Monday in CCAA East boys soccer action at Allegany. The Gators (6-2) got just that six minutes into the game, as Bryant Talbot scored on a penalty kick. From there, the Gators’ defense did the rest for a 1-0 A-L victory. Jack Conroy faced few shots in the game, making one save. The Eagles have dropped three straight games after a ﬁve-game winning streak, falling to 5-5 on the season. Fillmore 1, Ellicottville 0 Levi Webb scored off an Ethan Peet feed 19:59 into the ﬁrst half and the goal held up on Friday, Sept. 20

as Fillmore bounced back at home from its ﬁrst loss (to Scio, 4-0) the night before. Dylan Valentine and Trevor Clark combined to make six saves in the shutout effort for the Eagles (6-1). Jamison Caldwell stopped ﬁve shots for Ellicottville. Randolph 4, Ellicottville 1 Ty Rosengren had a goal and three assists, Marcus Evans scored two goals and Kaleb Steward marked a goal and an assist in the win for hometeam Randolph Wednesday, Sept. 18 Jack Snyder scored for the Eagles on a pass from Adrian DeOrbe. Goalkeeper Justin Imhoff made nine saves for Ellicottville. Kameron Finch made four saves for Randolph.

Ellicottville continues surge, tops Salamanca 5-2

After 2-2 start, the Ellicottville girls soccer team seems to be finding its groove. Mandy Hurlburt recorded a hat trick and, after a see-saw battle in the first half, the Eagles pulled away for a 5-2 triumph in a CCAA East matchup between streaking teams on Tuesday in Salamanca. In an eventful first 40 minutes, Salamanca took a 1-0 lead just six minutes in when Mariah Downey scored off a Rachel Chamberlain pass and added a second tally on a penalty kick from Aly Hill in the 23rd minute. Ellicottville, though, got goals from Emilee Ruiz, Hurlburt (on a PK) and Logan Fredrickson to bring a 3-2 lead into the break before Hurlburt scored twice more in the second half, including on another PK. “It was truly a close first half,” Salamanca coach Michelle Hill said. “Ellicottville came out in the second half with more fight in them than (us).” Kaitlyn McGuire, Ruiz and Jocelyn Wyatt all added assists while Brooke Eddy made four saves for the Eagles (5-2, 4-0), who have won three-

straight — over Portville, Randolph and Salamanca — and currently hold the top spot in the league standings. Holly McGonigle (4) and Alexis Palmeri (5) combined to make nine saves for the Warriors (64, 2-2), who saw a threegame win streak come to an end. Ellicottville 2, Randolph 0 Emilee Ruiz scored a pair of first-half goals Thursday, Sept. 19, to help keep Ellicottville undefeated in CCAA East girls soccer league play at home. Mandy Hurlburt and Logan Fredrickson assisted on the first goal and Hayly Fredrickson assisted on the second. Brooke Eddy made five saves for the shutout. “Our girls played a great game,” Ellicottville coach Tammy Eddy said. “They’re really coming together and playing well together. Hopefully, we’ll see some scoring form a variety of different girls this year.” Miranda Waterman made 11 saves for Randolph.

Effectiveness of 2018-19 ﬂu and 2019-20 clinics set

HEALTH & FITNESS: TRX 2019

By Kim Duke In 2012, a friend of mine gave me a TRX band to try out in my studio. I had seen these bands but was not quite sure what their purpose was. So, I played with them and then researched them and finally, had my clients use them. In 2018, I took my first certification class along with my co-trainer, Debbie Fredrickson. This course was amazing and overwhelming, but, it gave us the basics and we could build from there. I took my level 2 this past Saturday with another co-trainer, Casi Depew, and we took those basics and built extraordinary workouts for all fitness levels. I have one more level to go that will bring me to the Mastery

The 2018-19 influenza vaccine was on average, about 47% effective in preventing people from getting the flu, but varied widely in effectiveness by age. Cattaraugus County Public Health Director Dr. Kevin Watkins said this season’s vaccine formula has been tweaked a little and should be more effective to the strains of flu that are expected. Health care providers already have supplies of the 2019-20 vaccine effective against both Influenza A and B strains and are giving vaccinations, Watkins said. The county Health Department will begin its series of county-wide flu clinics Sept. 25 at the Limestone Community Center, 616 Main St., from 1-4 p.m. While the effectiveness of the 2018-19 vaccine was higher than the previous year, it was most effective in ages 6 months-17 years-old (61%), Watkins said. The effectiveness dropped to 37% in ages 18-49 and dropped again to 24% for those over age 50. “It wasn’t very effective if you were over age 50,” Watkins said at Wednesday’s county Board of Health meeting. On the bright side, Watkins said, the flu season was “very moderate. We didn’t see a lot of flu or hospitalizations.” Still, some area residents had severe cases of influenza. The peak of the 2018-19 flu season in New York State was between late January and late February, Watkins said. For Western New York, the peak came about a month later, nearer late March. The Centers for Disease Control recommends influenza vaccinations as a first line of defense to prevent its spread. The vaccine may have been better than

the small sample of individuals in the age groups indicated. Watkins presented a CDC document that showed the 2018-19 influenza vaccine prevented 7.1 million illnesses and 3.1 million medical visits, 109,000 hospitalizations and 8,000 deaths in the U.S. “Vaccination can also reduce the severity of influenza-associated illnesses,” the document, “Interim Estimates of 2018-19 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness, U.S., February 2019.” Cattaraugus County Health Department Medical Director Dr. Gilbert Witte cautioned against rushing out now to get a flu shot since their effectiveness is pegged at about six months. Late September will provide better protection through March, the traditional peak of the flu season, Witte said. For someone getting the influenza vaccine in October, they would have an additional month of protection. “It is better to get a flu shot than not get a flu shot,” Witte said. An unvaccinated person can spread influenza to someone else who is unvaccinated due to a medical condition. “Hopefully we’ll have a mild flu season again this year,” Watkins said. The schedule for the Health Department influenza clinics follows: Oct. 2 — Magnano Reception Room near Cutco Theater, JCC Campus, Olean, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Oct. 9 — Franklinville Fire Department, 2-6 p.m. Oct. 10 — Cattaraugus Area Ambulance, 2-6 p.m. Oct. 15 — Randolph Municipal Building, 2-6 p.m. Oct. 17 — John J.

As fall arrives, it’s a good time to consider lawn repair or even putting in a new lawn. If you want to repair bare spots in your lawn, late August through the ﬁrst week in October is the optimum time. Be sure the soil is still warm and evening temperatures stay above 50 degrees. It’s basically the same if you start a new lawn from

scratch. You don’t want to plant lawn seed too late because it doesn’t give the grass roots enough time to develop before the cold weather arrives. When repairing the lawn: • Start by using a leaf rake to comb out any dead material. • Using a garden rake, bring some fresh soil to the surface. If your rake doesn’t scratch down deep enough, poke the area with a garden fork to expose more soil. • Follow the quantity instructions on the grass seed label and lightly sprinkle the seed over the rough areas. Cover the seed with a thin layer of topsoil

or compost before tamping the area with the back of a rake so the seed makes good contact with the soil. • Add straw to keep seed in place and water well. A lawn grows well with the right seed. Kentucky blue, fescue and rye grass are all good choices; however, what grows best depends on soil quality and other environmental factors. Maintaining your lawn requires management practices at the right time of year. For more information, review the Cornell Cooperative Extension website at cce.cornell.edu.

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.

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board held Sept. 18 began with a presentation by Mark Reinhard, a local who volunteers at Holiday Valley and owns a software company in Buffalo, Concepts 2 Code. Reinhard helps companies convert from paper bills to online bills. Reinhard’s goal is to help Ellicottville save money on postage and paper costs. Basically, members of the community would go online to view and pay their water and sewage bills instead of receiving a paper bill in the mail. Reinhard was adamant that no one would be forced to switch over. However, he did point out that if 200 residents switched to online payments, the town would save about $800. Seeing this as an ongoing discussion, Reinhard wants no monetary compensation for his work. He hopes that if approved, he would be able to use Ellicottville as a future reference. Reinhard feels that this is a good change for the community. The idea was met with some concerns from the town board and the public. The board was worried about the security of the website and if people would dodge paying their bills. Reinhard assured the board that their website is secure and there are measures to ensure people are paying their bills. The concept is a work in process. It is still pending approval from both the town and village boards. The town board plans to continue discussions in a future meeting. After the presentation, Town Supervisor Mathew McAndrew took a few moments to mention the passing of a previous mayor of Ellicottville, Paul Stokes, who passed away at the beginning of last week at age 90. McAndrew and the board also discussed the possibility of shared services between the town of Ellicottville and Cattaraugus County. Some of the proposed services include a joint copier lease, human resource training, DPW purchase on county bids and reassessment training. The board appears to be in favor of DPW purchase on county bids, which would give Ellicottville money back on the difference on any payment made on a DPW bid vs what an

outside town would have paid. The board also discussed the possibility of splitting the cost of a bucket truck with the village. The village board recently passed a resolution that would allow the village to split the cost of a bucket truck with the town. The town board has some concerns over this such as how much it is needed, the plan for storage and the maintenance fees. No resolution was acted upon and the board plans to continue this discussion at a later meeting. IN OTHER BUSINESS, Tom Scharf, head of the Highway Department, brought a new idea to the board. Scharf feels that two part-time help for 2nd shift snowplow help will be needed for the upcoming winter season. The shift will last from 1 to 9:30 p.m. The pay will be $18 an hour. If there is no snow to plow, the help will be expected to help with other maintenance work. The work will fall within the budget of the Highway Department. The board approved the resolution passed to add two 2nd shift part-time snowplow help. Details will be hashed out at a later time. Scharf also brought to the board’s attention the continued problem of speeding in work zones. Scharf feels that people are not following the posted speed limit and are putting his crew’s lives in danger. This serves a friendly reminder to please slow down when you approach a work zone. The board also acted on a resolution to waive the marriage fee of any active military personnel. The state currently waived the current fee, which encouraged the board to also waive the fee. As for old business, the ongoing disagreement of 28 Parkside Drive between the board and the Cornell Cooperative Extension is still ongoing. Negotiations between both parties are still occurring. In addition, there has been a good amount of progress made on the EVGV trail. It is reported that it will be ﬁnished by winter. The last piece of business was the appointment of Tim Zerfas to the Town Planning Board, as long as there is no conﬂict with his father being on the Town Board.
