Rock and Roll & Awesome Cars
Do you want to rock and roll all night and party every day this weekend? Rock and roll is here to stay Friday, Saturday and Sunday when all of Ellicottville turns into a stage for Rock and Roll Weekend. Whether you like your rock classic, modern, bluesy or something in between, this celebration of all things rock and roll has something for everyone. Kick off the weekend Friday night, Sept. 15 with the fi nale of Ellicottville’s Stroll the Streets from 5 to 8 p.m. and catch the movie Trolls at the Gazebo starting at 8. The shops will be open and the streets are sure to be alive with entertainment! At 6 p.m., Madigan’s hosts the Party Squad, made up of Buffalo Music Hall of Fame members, ready to get you dancin’. At 7, check out Darkwater Duo on the Balloons mainstage as they add their acoustic sound to some popular covers. Finnerty’s joins in the weekend for the fi rst time with Gregg Sansone at 8 p.m. Sansone is a unique one-man band who can create a full-band sound from his keyboard. The Gin Mill hosts popular acoustic duo 2 Guys Drinkin’ Beer at 9 p.m., while Villaggio will feature Kickstart Rumble at 9 p.m. The music continues on Saturday at 1 p.m. when EVL 80s Band takes to the The Winery of Ellicottville Mainstage on Monroe Street playing totally rad hits from the decade of excess.

One of the many advantages to living in Western New York includes our lovely, and most of the time agreeable, four season weather forecast and proximity to the Great Lakes. This perfect combination creates the ideal atmosphere for grape growing and winemaking. And there’s no shortage of wineries out there, just a short drive away, waiting for you to discover. Pro tip: while driving through the picturesque country road wine trails, make sure to keep your windows down to soak in the aroma. The smell of grapes in the air, a clear sign that fall has arrived in Western New York. Savage Winery located at 11300 Savage Road, Chaffee NY is a place where you can sample delicious beers, ciders, wines and wine slushies (I highly recommend the Loganberry) and get up close with animals on the farm including alpacas, a few sheep and a couple of miniature goats. The winery is the perfect place to create your own informal event outside at the gazebo while playing a game of cornhole or inside watching the game on the fl atscreen TV. Visit www.savagewinery.com for more information. The Winery of Ellicottville, located at 14 Monroe Street in Ellicottville, crafts over 18 varieties on-site, using only local grapes and all natural ingredients.

hosting the tournament has the ability to have teams, players and families bond both on and off the fi eld. Ryan and I can’t wait to introduce the Ellicottville area to lacrosse and, more importantly, introduce lacrosse to Ellicottville. We can’t think of a better location to celebrate the game we all love.” The Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival is the perfect place to check out a game that our area is only just starting to get to know, on a larger scale. While our neighbors in the Seneca Nation have had the game since its inception, calling it The Creator’s Game, lacrosse has become known as the fastest game on two feet. The combination of speed, athleticism, teamwork, and fi nesse that many other sports have is mixed with a skillful handling of the stick, making it something to see. “Several years ago, the Chamber began to focus some of our marketing
dollars on outdoor adventure activities and it has paid off,” Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Brian McFadden, said. “We are now seeing more and more visitors on the hills, in the lakes and enjoying our many other outdoor attractions. Adding the Lacrosse tournament is just one more notch in our collective belts. No wonder USA Today calls Ellicottville ‘an outdoor lovers paradise’.” Games will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. all weekend. Jump from fi eld to fi eld as you see fi t. There is no admission fee to any of the games. Make sure to check out the vendor village for your tournament apparel, music, games, and food. All games will be played either at the Ellicottville Central School athletic fi eld complex or at the Village Park. Come experience the Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival, Sept. 22-24.

An Interview with New ECS Supt. Bob Miller
By Elizabeth Riggs
New ECS Superintendent Bob Miller fi rst started working in the Ellicottville School District in July 2005 as the Middle School/ High School Principal. On July 1, he began his term as the Superintendent, fi lling the shoes of former Superintendent Mark Ward, who retired after 42 years in education. As the torch is passed from one leader to the next, many may be wondering what is in store for the district so well known for their tradition of educational excellence. This week we sat down with Mr. Miller to talk about his plans for the upcoming school year, his approach to the new position, and what students and families can expect from Superintendent Miller. What are you looking forward to in your fi rst year as superintendent? Continuing the tradition of excellence for which ECS is known. I’m looking forward to working with staff throughout the entire district to ensure that students are receiving a quality education. This will include, but is not limited to: “unpacking” and analyzing the revised Next Generation Standards (formerly the Common Core Standards); determining what we need to do to meet and exceed these standards; gearing up for the NYS switch to two days of testing for 3-8 ELA and Mathematics exams; and introducing and using the “new” CA BOCES science kits in the elementary classes. What can people expect to see in the way you will lead the school, versus the way Mr. Ward did? What will the differences be?
I do not anticipate major changes in this area. I worked with Mr. Ward for the past nine years and learned many valuable lessons about leading a school district. During my time with Mr. Ward, I learned about the importance of building relationships with people, letting them know that we are all working hard for the benefi t of students. When you have built such relationships, people feel comfortable approaching you with ideas, thoughts, concerns, etc. I want people to know that they can approach me. I might make some different decisions when presented with them, but that’s to be expected with any position. Do you have any big initiatives or changes in the works? As a fi rst-year superintendent, I don’t foresee making any major changes. ECS is an academic leader in Western New York. As opposed to making lots of changes, I will be focusing on ways to ensure that the district continues to be an educational leader. What are you hoping to learn during your fi rst year as a superintendent? I look forward to learning as much as I can in this position, as it is different than being the MS/HS Principal. While there are some similarities between
the two positions, there are many more differences. I’m having to look at the bigger picture now ... the entire district, not just the middle school and high school. For example, in the past I had to worry about a small part of the budget process. This year, I will have to work with all aspects of the entire budget. Another example would be ensuring that we are getting teachers what they need for instruction from a curriculum standpoint. Again, over the past nine years, I have focused on grades 6-12. Now I need to be aware of changes to curriculum from pre-K through 12. I will now get to see the “whole” curriculum picture across all grade levels. Is there any information you’d like to share with the families and parents in the district? In the end, I’m still Bob Miller. Sure, I’m in a new position and offi ce. But, I will still work hard to ensure the success of students at ECS. My “door” as a Principal was always open for students, staff and parents, and my “door” as the Superintendent will continue to stay open. I want people to know that they can still talk to me about ideas, thoughts, concerns, etc. What will you miss about being a principal? The day to day interaction with students. While I can still ensure that I make time to interact with students, there will be times when I will not be able to interact with them as much as I did in the past. On a related note, I will get to interact more with the elementary students. This is a change that I’m truly looking forward to— interacting with all students in the District.
Boot Drive to Support American Red Cross Sept. 23-24 By Caitlin Croft
Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 23 and 24, Ellicottville’s Village Clerk, Mary Klahn, and her husband, Reggie, will be volunteering their time to collect money for the American Red Cross. This will run from 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. both days. You will fi nd them at the traffi c light on Jefferson and Washington Streets. Klahn wanted to do this given the recent hurricanes that have affected our country. She is still in need of volunteers and if you can spare any time to this good cause, please contact Klahn at (716) 450-4312 or maryklahn@roadrunner.com. Also, if anyone is unable to volunteer or wants to donate more, please send a check made payable to the American Red Cross that Klahn will send in with funds collected as a community. Checks can be sent to PO Box 475, Ellicottville, NY 14731. This is another reason why we are lucky to call Ellicottville home. This community is always there for anyone in need whether it affects us or not and that is something very special. Remember if you will be passing through the village on the 23rd and 24th, please grab a couple extra bucks to help support the American Red Cross.
ECS Homecoming Week Sept. 18-23 Next week, ECS celebrates their Homecoming, with a spirit week with themed days beginning Monday, Sept. 18. On Friday, the annual pep rally will be held at the end of the day, and the muchanticipated Homecoming Titans football game starts at 7 p.m. Against Salamanca. Saturday, Sept. 23 is the semi-formal dance to end the festivities.

Cattaraugus County. “It could be even more exciting because we have a baby alpaca that is supposed to be born that weekend!” The Magers’ herd, which includes 24 alpacas and two llamas, will be ready to greet visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Sunday during National Alpaca Farm Days. Mager explained, “Our herd is unique in that they are very friendly with visitors, as most of our herd was born and raised right here on our farm, so they’ve always been used to visitors. Many alpacas can be shy and stand-offi sh, but ours are very people-friendly, and will let you pet them!” Visiting alpaca farms is a great opportunity to meet the herds and to learn about what

Enjoy the fi rst full weekend of autumn by exploring a local alpaca farm (or two!) during National Alpaca Farm Days on Saturday, Sept. 23 and Sunday, Sept. 24! Although any weekend is a great weekend to visit with these soft, gentle animals, National Alpaca Farm Days is unique in that it is a nation-wide event when alpaca farms all over the country will be opening their doors (or gates) to the public. Each year, the National Alpaca Owners Association designates the last full weekend in September as two jam-packed days of education, exploration and fun! So, what exactly is an alpaca? Alpacas are part of the camel family, along with llamas, and share common traits, such as their long necks and soft fl eece. Although many people confuse alpacas with llamas, the two are quite different, as llamas are nearly twice the size of alpacas. Interesting facts like these are exactly what National Alpaca Farm Days is all about: educating the public on these beautiful animals and the growing agribusiness of alpaca farms! “We’ve been taking part in National Alpaca Farm Days for sixteen years now,” said owner Paul Mager, whose alpaca farm, Mager Mountain Alpacas, located at 69 Mountain View Drive in Little Valley, was the fi rst to open in

you can do with alpaca fi ber! Of course, alpaca fl eece can be spun into yarn, which is perfect for knitting or crocheting soft, warm accessories. But this yarn can also be used for weaving. Mager encourages visitors to check out the beautiful woven rugs that his wife, Sue Mager, has made with her loom using yarn made from her herd’s fl eece! Mike and Sue Bean, owners of A Slice of Heaven Alpacas and Simply Natural Alpaca Gift Shop, located at 11144 Pope Rd. in Randolph, encourage visitors to try alpaca fl eece for the ultimate experience of warmth and durability. Unlike wool, alpaca fl eece is hypoallergenic, so just about anyone can wear this ultra-warm fi ber without experiencing the itch that sometimes accompanies wool or mohair. Throughout the weekend, the Beans will take visitors through their barns to pet the animals and demonstrate exactly which sections of fl eece on the alpaca’s body are used for different types of clothing and yarn. Owner Sue Bean is excited to demonstrate the felt loom that her farm acquired last year. This unique loom uses alpaca fl eece and fabric to create unique, one-of-a-kind garments and gifts by binding the fl eece to whatever material you like! A Slice of Heaven Alpacas will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. All weekend they will be selling chili, cider, and donuts to raise money for Randolph’s Community Cupboard. There will also be drawings for different alpaca gifts including an alpaca blanket, an alpaca teddy bear and more! Due to the affordability and tax benefi ts of opening an alpaca farm, more and more families across the United States have begun their own alpaca farms. National Alpaca Farm Days is a great opportunity to learn about starting a farm of your own! For more information about this exciting weekend, visit http://www.alpacainfo.com/ alpaca-farm-days.

“A Legacy of Spies” by John le Carre” Peter Guillam is living out his old age on the family farmstead on the south coast of Brittany when a letter from his old Service summons him to London. It seems his Cold War past has come back to claim him. Intelligence operations that were once the toast of secret London, and involved such characters as Alec Leamas, Jim Prideaux, George Smiley and Peter Guillam himself, are to be scrutinized by a generation with no memory of the Cold War and no patience with its justifi cations.
See solution on page 10
Interweaving past with present so that each may tell its own intense story, John le Carré has spun a single plot as ingenious and thrilling as the two predecessors on which it looks back: The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. This book is currently available in book format at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as an eBook using our OverDrive digital collection. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,300 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Pumpkinville is the oldest, continuously operating pumpkin farm in the state? With a reputation like that, it’s no wonder that families return year after year to pick their pumpkins and enjoy a day of fun activities! “From day one, our goal was to create a family-friendly attraction, where we could sell the tens of thousands of pumpkins we grow right here,” said Dan Pawlowski, who owns this nationally recognized agritourism attraction with his wife Diane and their children. “We’re grateful so many people visit and come back every year.” Children will enjoy the many free activities, like petting the farm animals, playing in the Corn TeePee and the Kiddie Spookum Barn, and meeting Perky, the Talking Pumpkin. Visitors can also purchase an
activity wristband to get the full Pumpkinville experience and enjoy the farm pedal carts, country hayrides, cow train and the six-acre corn maze. Other activities for 2017 include the Pumpkin Jumpin’ Pillows, hayrides, Gem Mining, and the Apple Blasters, which are air compressed guns that visitors can use to fi re apples at various metal targets.

CLAWS Update
Cats Lives Are Worth Saving (CLAWS), a local organization, is looking for donations. They have been working for a year now trapping, spaying or neutering stray cats in the village and then releasing them. About 12 cats have been spayed or neutered thus far by Dr. Tim O'Leary of the Almost Home Animal Sanctuary. The organization is run by Melanie Pritchard, Betsy Peyser & Theresea Mercer. In instances where kittens are trapped, CLAWS will place them in a loving home; I myself actually got my fi rst kitten from the organization. If you would like to make a donation, you can contact Melanie Pritchard, (716) 4808409 or pritchard.mela@gmail.com. Look for them outside of Tangled twigs Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 16 and 17 if you would like to donate in person.

Wally Holland Writes Memoir
By Alicia Dziak
Ellicottville’s very own Wally Holland has led an interesting life. This becomes apparent after just talking with him briefl y, as he is full of stories spanning his 80 years. And soon, you’ll be able to learn about some of his more memorable life experiences when his memoir is published. Holland’s Dear God, What’s on the Second Floor? will be done later this fall. Holland has enough stories to fi ll the pages of this paper and then some, and the synopsis goes something like this: “An English boy survives one war, volunteers for another, learns a trade, mixes some drinks, bets on some horses, goes to sea, takes to the air, marries an American, starts a business, raises two sons, and ends up refereeing soccer
in a little village in New York. Along the way, meanwhile, he makes a nice living as a petty thief, gets arrested for murder by Interpol, annoys a belly dancer, dodges bullets on a train, goes AWOL, gets courtmartialed (quite unrelatedly), encounters a spot of trouble at knifepoint in London, runs perilously late in the South African bush, makes a grand debut as union man, slightly embarrasses James Bond, and disagrees with a Parisian swan over the matter of a baguette.” The idea for the book came about more than 30 years ago, when Holland said people would hear his tales and often suggest he make them into a book. Years ago, he made recordings tht his son then jotted down, but the book was put on hold util in recent years when he fel he could afford the

surgical Center process of writing the memoir. “So much has happened to me,” Holland said of his eight decades on earth. Early on, Holland describes his childhood in England as one where he had “no school, no food and nothing else.” He learned to steal food and was expelled from school after just four years of education. From there, he was in the military, worked on airlines and cruise ships and got into soccer (he is now the oldest soccer offi cial in New York State). Some experiences in his life that stand out are dancing with the Supremes, working with Buzz Aldrin (the astronaut) and being detained as a murder suspect in Paris because he resembled a wanted man. Whether it’s being in the right place at the right time, surprisingly acing interviews or accurately reading a unique situation, Holland said, “Lucky is a word that comes up repitiously in my life.” “All of my dreams in life came true,” he said. “How many people can say that?” And just what were his dreams? “To marry someone and have children, to be in a movie (he was in 1952), to travel the world, to play for a professional soccer club and to meet movie stars,” Holland explained. If you want to hear all of Holland’s “extraordinary stories that make up an ordinary life,” you’ll have to wait for the book. Stay tuned to the Ellicottville Times for more info later this season.

Memorial Plaque to be Presented Village Planning Board Discusses Sept. 21 at Ellicottville American Short Term Rental Regulations Legion Post 659 & Proposed Skate Park By Jennie Acklin
Bill O’Brien, Third Vice-Commander of the Concord American Legion Post 431, and a Vietnam War veteran will be presenting a memorial plaque at the Ellicottville American Legion on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. He has been working on this project for several months, researching the names and stories of servicemen who died in service during World War II, The Korean War, and the Vietnam War. A total of 16 names are on the memorial plaque, one of which was a classmate of O’Brien’s – and the plaque is donated in his memory – Orrie Earl Macomb Jr. “I want these veterans to be remembered for more than a name – I want to tell their story,” said O’Brien. The plaque includes the names, service branch, service years and fi nal resting place of local Ellicottville and Great Valley service members who died in battle. His research for the names was done at the Ellicottville Memorial Library, with help from Laura Flannigan, for which he is most grateful. Utilizing their computers, he spent hours going through old newspapers, and online websites including Ancestry.com and FindAGrave.com. O’Brien grew up in Ellicottville, and has strong family ties to this area. The family farm was at the current location of the Ilex Inn, encompassing over 350 acres. He enlisted April 26, 1965 and served in the Vietnam War as an Army engineer for three years, stationed at West Point. O’Brien presented a plaque to the Concord American Legion Post 431 in February of 2017, honoring 27 service members from the Springville and Concord, NY area. After completing that project, he felt the need to honor his hometown veterans as well. The following names listed on the plaque are as follows: World War II Daniel W. Lowry, Cadet, US Army Air Corps Lawrence C. Zefers, CPL, US Army Irvin T. Ebert, PFC, US Army Henry D. Smith, 2nd LT, USAAF Alton G. Eastman, TM2, US Navy Harold E. Shadbolt, CPL, USSAF Joseph M.

Allegany State Park 3rd Saturday Trek Sept. 16
Get out of the house and come join in the fun as Allegany State Park continues its series of hikes called “3rd Saturday Treks.” As the name implies, these free, familyfriendly hikes will take place on the 3rd Saturday of each month from April through October. The treks will be led by park staff and interns. This month’s 3rd Saturday Trek will take place on Sept. 16. Participants will be taken on an interpretative hike into the woods of Blacksnake Mountain in Allegany State Park. The hike is on a relatively easy hiking trail measuring approximately 2.7 miles. Much of the trail is located on an abandoned railroad bed. Other landmarks on the trail include state
line markers indicating the border between New York and Pennsylvania, abandoned oil wells, man-made stone culverts, as well as an interesting variety of native fl ora and fauna. Attendees are asked to meet at the Blacksnake Mountain Hiking Trailhead (program site 41),
located on ASP Rt. 3 near Science Lake, at 10 a.m., and to come dressed for the weather. For more information, visit the Allegany State Park Facebook page or contact the Environmental Education/ Recreation Department at (716) 354-9101 ext. 236.
Workers for CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley, LLC (CHBWV) have begun demolition of the Vitrifi cation Facility, a 10,700 square foot reinforced concrete structure at the West Valley Demonstration Project. The facility was previously used to vitrify highlevel radioactive waste into glass. The waste resulted from spent fuel reprocessing at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center, where a Department of Energy-led cleanup of the site is being conducted in cooperation with the site’s owner, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority. Extensive preparations were completed inside the facility prior to commencement of demolition, including removing vitrifi cation process components, piping and hazardous materials;
performing surface decontamination; isolating mechanical and electrical systems; and sealing penetrations to prevent contamination migration during demolition. The demolition plan and safety precautions were extensively reviewed prior to receiving approval to proceed with demolition. The facility is being demolished using heavy equipment according to a controlled work plan. Debris is being loaded into waste containers soon after it is generated to minimize debris piles, and is being shipped offsite to a federal low-level waste disposal facility. “The start of demolition is a signifi cant accomplishment for the CHBWV Team and the US Department of Energy,” said Bryan Bower, DOE-WVDP Director. “The WVDP is the
fi rst site in the DOE complex to design, construct, operate, shut down – and now demolish – a vitrifi cation facility.” Bower noted the WVDP workforce’s vitrifi cation experience has proven a valuable asset for DOE, which operates another vitrifi cation facility at the Department’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina. “Some of the very people that helped construct and operate the Vitrifi cation Facility are now supporting its demolition,” Bower said. Demolition began on Sept. 11, 2017, with removal of exterior wall segments on the east and west sides of the structure. Demolition will proceed toward the center of the building, where the vitrifi cation process cell is located. Demolition and waste disposal is expected to take place through the spring of 2018.
The September meeting of the Village Planning Board (VPB) opened with an addition to the agenda – 5 Park Avenue. This project is petitioning to change the current zoning of the building from industrial to commercial. Next in new business was SP-2017-02 – 34 Washington Street – Howard Hanna Real Estate. They are seeking to put up a projecting sign. Village Planner, Gary Palumbo, notes all criteria for the sign has been met and no public hearing is required. The sign will be the corporate Howard Hanna Sign. It will be made of High Density Urethane and Code Enforcement Offi cer (CEO), Kelly Fredrickson advises it is durable material, nearly indestructible by weathering and should not fade. The VPB made a motion to approve the sign with the following conditions; All parts of section 12-8-E of the Village Zoning be met and subsequent construction must be approved by the CEO. There was a second and the board approved the sign. 5 Park Avenue is a proposed All-Ages Skate Park with three residential units and commercial space. The current zoning has the property under industrial, meaning residential apartments are not an allowed use. Therefore, the potential proprietors, Christopher and Brenda Perks, have gathered the necessary items to petition the change in use from Industrial to VC2 (commercial classifi cation). The Perks have been working closely with the Village Board and in this month’s meeting the VB has requested a recommendation from the VPB. After brief discussion Chair, Nancy Rogan noted that a classifi cation of VC3 had been previously adopted and specifi cally applies to changing industrial space to commercial space. In this section of the code, it is a more detailed pathway to renovation, and a plan must be in place to gain approval. The board will not arbitrarily recommend
Preliminary site plan for 5 Park Avenue- proposed Skate Park
rezoning if the project does not have a clear and concise plan. Attorney Dan Spitzer noted it is similar to a Planned Unit Development. The board advised the Perks they needed to see a Site Plan, Special Use Permit Application and a Short Environmental Assessment Form for next month’s meeting to make a recommendation to the VB. The VPB is excited about the project and thanked the Perks for working closely with both boards. Mayor John Burrell and Trustee Greg Cappelli were both present to speak on behalf of the project and what they needed from the VPB to move forward with their zoning change. Next, there was discussion on Potential Zoning Amendments with the focus being on Short Term Rentals. First, Palumbo noted that there were a few edits that need to be made to the code that are simple typos from what was originally approved. Also, the Land Use Table was printed incorrectly from what was last approved. Palumbo will receive the original Word document and make these small changes after being looked over by the boards. Spitzer advised this is fi ne as it is just a correcting a typo. Next, they moved to discussion on short term rentals and the issue that we have seven licensed homes in the village and technically all others are in violation. Also, there are some homes, due to zoning, that are not required to
have a license and that need to be addressed as well. Cappelli brought up concerns that we need stronger enforcement of current laws that are in violation and all agreed. The main concern, as always, is noise, along with, but not limited to, public intoxication, littering, public urination, vandalism etc. Mike Painter brought up the issue of what is truly a complaint because for years, complaints were counted only when a ticket was issued and he feels this should not be that way. All parties agreed that a solution must be made on how to handle short term rentals. Spitzer advised that you could send notices to all homes who are not properly licensed, advising they need to get licensed or there is possibility of fi nes. Spitzer also advised the best way to tackle this problem is to zone all properties to allow short term rentals, but then the owner must get a license to rent. With the license, there could be conditions to approval, such as there must be an emergency local contact or the CEO needs to inspect the home, etc. Spitzer advised he would collect the licensing information from other communities that have already addressed this matter so that the VPB and VB can work together on a Value Matrix for their licensing procedures. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 10 at the Village Hall.

memorial benches placed throughout the village, with requests for at least three more new benches. Over the summer, the village DPW crew and the Lions Club of Springville have replaced the aging wood on all the benches with new tight-knotted cedar wood. The board is currently working on a new bench contract so that the issue of perpetuity can be addressed with persons purchasing memorial benches. According to Burrell, some of the memorial benches are over 25 years old, and prior to this summer’s work, the wood slats have never been replaced, leaving some in disrepair. Cattaraugus County Baseball Project Update The Village of Ellicottville has received $57,750 for the youth baseball fi eld at the Village Park. Burrell stated that the project will be put out for bids. In the April 2017 meeting of the Cattaraugus County Board of Legislators, $600,000 was granted to the Olean Business Development Corp. for “repair, maintenance and upgrade of youth baseball fi elds in the towns of Allegany, Ellicottville, Franklinville and Portville, and the cities of Olean and Salamanca, designated for tournament play.” Additionally, $50,000 will be allocated for other youth baseball fi elds located within Cattaraugus County. Mark Chudy appointed as interim DPW Foreman Due to the retirement of Harold Morton as DPW Superintendent last month, Mark Chudy will be fi lling in as interim foreman. He has worked for the village for the

Chudy’s DPW report included the tree removal and grass reseeding project on Monroe Street, blacktopping on Martha Street, working with the DPW on their purchase of a new road striping machine, several restriping projects on Village streets, and brush pickup. Board members discussed the need for one-way signs to be installed on the Hughey Alley end of the alley between the post offi ce and the Ellicottville Hotel. Chudy will be attending the NYCOM Public Works Training School in October. Due to the upcoming Columbus Day holiday, the next meeting of the Ellicottville Village Board will be Monday, Oct. 16, at 6 p.m.

BOOT CAMP. Words to describe how our military train. There are no better role models for strong bodies than our men and women in the military. Boot camp is comprised of four key principles: fortitude, endurance, agility and power. The goal is to improve mobility, speed and stamina to outwork and outlast the opposition. Every summer, Core Performance offers its version of boot camp, a 4-week program that pushes all participants of every fi tness level to dig deeper into their mental and emotional strength to extract the words, “I can’t” from their daily vocabulary and embrace the
run boot camps every month. Again, we will offer three 6 a.m. classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; as well as three afternoon classes, (5:15 p.m.) on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Each month, we will integrate specifi c goals for our winter sports enthusiasts and our body transformation clients. We will once again utilize our entire gym and use a variety of fi tness equipment like dumbbells, TRX bands, Bosu balls, battle ropes and more. Every class will have components of cardio and core and strength training, but not every class will be the same. Our goal is to teach you to be the strongest athlete/person you can be. So, if you are interested in participating in Core Performance’s Boot Camps, you need to act soon. Space is limited and we already have participants signed up. Start date is Oct. 2 for our 5:15 p.m. camp and Oct. 3 for our 6 a.m. camp. Camps will run monthly and participants will receive two bonus classes. Dropin rate will be $10 and on a fi rst come fi rst serve basis. And remember, nothing is accomplished without making a commitment!

Health & Fitness Boot Camp at Core Performance athlete within. Every year, our participants wonder why they are working out at the ungodly hour of 6 a.m. three mornings a week. But, by the end of every sweat soaked class fi lled with cardio, strength and agility challenges, you will be hard pressed to fi nd anyone regretting one second of it. Like every year prior, my fi tness teammate Debbie Fredrickson and myself have been hard at work fi nding new ways to challenge our participants without complicating the workouts. We keep important and basic elements in every workout to ensure effi ciency, yet add challenges to promote serious calorie burn. The camaraderie also helps. A group makes you accountable to show up, and the support helps you push through an intense workout. This year. Core Performance ran two boot camps simultaneously, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Debbie and I were thrilled to fi ll both and run them the entire summer vs. just 4 weeks. And, since our fi tness studio has grown to be known for not only its challenging workouts, but also by the results these camps deliver, we have decided to

from last year. Chris and Brenda Perks were in attendance to request a zoning change for a building they are considering for their plans of a skateboard park / recreation area on Park Avenue. They have submitted an application and a preliminary site plan rendering. The Village Board referred the request to the Village Planning Board (see story page 8). There will be a public hearing on the zoning change request, scheduled for Oct. 16 at 6 p.m. According to Brenda Perks, “The idea is to offer offi ce space and apartment rentals in addition to a skateboard park.” Hiring Twenty-two applications for the position of Town/ Villager Engineer have been received, with fi ve interviews completed. A list of three potential candidates will be receiving requests for a second interview. According to board member Greg Cappelli, “We have a couple of candidates that could do a good job.” Kelly Frederickson presented his fi rst offi cial report as Code Enforcement Offi cer. He was appointed as the new Code Enforcement Offi cer effective Sept. 1, and duties will also include building inspector responsibilities. Focus has been primarily on the annual inspections of hotels, restaurants and places of public gatherings. “Occupancy load signs have been the biggest issue,” according to Frederickson. The truck previously used by Tom Abriatis was purchased by the Village of Ellicottville, and has a new Ellicottville Code Enforcement sign on it as well. Village Benches There are currently 55

Management and staff at Cattaraugus County Bank (CCB) are proud to announce the 35th anniversary of their Randolph branch. The actual “birthday” falls on Wednesday, Sept. 20. CCB will be celebrating this birthday during September. Customers and friends of CCB are invited to stop in at CCB’s Main Street location and enjoy the celebration. Beginning Sept. 1, CCB will be accepting entries to give away CCB umbrellas each day to a number of lucky winners. ONE lucky winner will be drawn on the actual birthday. That particular winner will
receive a beautiful, handmade quilt donated to the occasion by local resident Ann Adams. Customers are invited to enter daily. During the week of Sept. 18, CCB in Randolph will provide refreshments to friends and customers visiting the branch. “New to CCB” customers that open any deposit account that week will receive a $35 deposit into the new account, courtesy of the locally owned, independent community bank! Folks can stop by the branch or check out our GREAT reward checking accounts at www.ccblv.com. Earn high interest or cash back! On
Wednesday, Sept. 20 at 11 a.m., radio station WPIG will be on-site serving a hot dog lunch and broadcasting live. “Our doors are open for your convenience,” states Assistant Vice President & Randolph Branch Manager Stephanie Brown. “CCB’s Randolph staff and I sincerely wish to help you in getting to know our brand of banking, our people and our evergrowing list of products and services. When you’re ready to talk ‘Real, Independent, Community Banking’ … we’re here to listen andoffer help.”
