Calendar of Events Open through Oct. 31 Pumpkinville Open through Nov. 2 Nightmare Hayrides October 11 Fall Festival 5K Run/Walk Holiday Valley
17 Exciting Events, Destinations and Activities
October 11 Art in the Garden Ellicottville
By Jann Wiswall
With fall foliage at or near peak in mid-October, the Ellicottville area simply cannot be beat as a sightseeing destination. This, of course, is one reason the annual Fall Festival (Oct. 11-12) attracts tens of thousands of people from far and wide every year to enjoy a cornucopia of art, crafts, rides, live entertainment, boutique shopping, great food and an enthusiastic celebration of the season. While most of the festival action takes place in the village, you would be well advised to head to nearby Griffis Sculpture Park for a one-of-a-kind sculptural and natural adventure that is being cast in a whole new light. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 1011, is the last opportunity to see the park’s sculptures and fall landscapes illuminated by colorful, theatrical lighting during “NIGHT LIGHTS at Griffis Sculpture Park.” Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 7-12, and free for kids under 7. Night Lights is subject to cancellation due to heavy rain. Visit www. griffispark.org. To fill out your memorable weekend with arts and culture,

Route 219 Construction between Ellicottville and Springville Underway Targeted Completion Date of October 7
By Alicia Dziak
The main route between Ellicottville and all points north is Route 219. It’s hard to
avoid using this section of road for residents and visitors alike, but heavy use, combined with long winters, have taken their toll on the road. In particular, last winter, the section between Beaver Meadows Road and Peters
Road became a disaster waiting to happen — pothole after pothole seemingly waiting to suck in an unsuspecting driver. Thus, a couple years before it was scheduled to be resurfaced, Route 219 is See 219 Construction page 8

Ellicottville Sports Round Up By Todd Palmatier
The Ellicottville Little Eagles Football program concluded it regular season home schedule this past Sunday with two great wins. The Pee Wee program, under the direction of longtime coach Brad Hurley, ran its regular season record to 5-0 with a 15-0 shutout win over the Pine Valley Long Horns. The offense was led by Ryan DeKay with two touchdown scores on the day and he was closely followed in the ground game by Reece Benjamin, Aidan Murray and Owen Poling, all three contributing positive yardage on the ground for the Eagles. On the defensive side of the ball, the Eagles were led by Joshua Coolidge, Aidan Joyce and Brett Kryniski. All of them stopped the Longhorns offensive attack and created a shutdown defensive front. The team travels to Springville this Sunday at 1:30 p.m. to take on the Griffins. The Midget Eagles put up 39 points on the Longhorns on Sunday with Jordan Peplinski leading the offense with two touchdown runs of 65 and 58 yards. Jonah Rust, Jordan Grinols and Thomas Hackett each scored touchdowns for the offense as well. Brenden Chudy and Clayton Rowland each had two and one extra point scores for the offense. Wyatt Chudy led the defensive squad with a 68-yard fumble recovery touchdown for the Eagles. Steve Rowland and Griffin Haley led the
team in tackles. The Eagles also had their annual Family Appreciation Day on Sunday, and all players and cheerleaders presented their moms and dads at midfield in between games. The program is aging out 19 kids this year as they will be moving to the high school program. The EllicottvilleFranklinville varsity football team (4-0) took a long bus ride to Brocton to take on the combined team of WestfieldBrocton on Friday night and stamped out a 50-0 victory. Senior Callum Watt led the offensive charge with eight rushes for 94 yards and one TD. Senior Phalla Musall, wearing a tribute to his mom, Kathy Musall, on his sleeve, had 12 rushes for 80 yards and two TDs. Junior Caleb Rinko had two TDs. Also, Tanner Colucci had a 60-plus punt return for a touchdown. The defense again stood tall on Friday as they held their opponents to 60 total yards on the night. Tyler Slaughenhaupt led the team with six tackles and on interception, and Zack Rathbun had two sacks and five tackles. The varsity program takes on the Randolph Cardinals on Friday night at 7 p.m. in Randolph. This is a huge midseason matchup, as Randolph is ranked as the No. 1 small school football team in WNY. The JV football team took on Cattaraugus-Little Valley on Monday night and laid a 49-22 smack down on the Timberwolves. Griffin Chudy
led the team in rushing, and Austin Grinols and Brock Blecha both scored for the JV squad. The defense was led by Deric Leiper and Sam Erickson, who both laid out some of the loudest hits of the night. Tyler Penrod led the Timberwolves offense with two TD runs of over 60 yards, one of them good for 86 yards. The JV team takes on Randolph Cardinals next Monday at Franklinville. In girls’ soccer, the varsity team finished the week 0-1-1 with a 0-0 tie against Salamanca, and then lost to Williamsville 5-0. The JV girls finished the week 0-3 with losses to much larger schools — Holland, Williamsville and Olean. The girls modified team won 2-1 over Salamanca. The boys’ varsity soccer program finished the week 3-1, 7-3 overall. They lost to Fillmore 2-0, beat Portville 2-0, West Valley 4-0 and Allegany-Limestone 3-1. Patrick McMahon Eagan had three goals over the four games. Robert Sawicki and Jack Haley had two goals, while Nick DiDonato and Cameron Eddy each chipped in one goal. The modified boys are 7-1 and finished the week 2-0, with shut outs over West Valley and Allegany-Limestone. In other sports news, the Ellicottville Little Eagles and the ECS Sports Boosters have begun the process of installing the new sound system on the athletic fields. They are both donating this state-of-the-art system to help enhance the fans’ experience at ECS.

By William Thomas
Man in Grocery Line Ages Overnight Drawing up a short list of helpful hints for seniors came to me recently when I spent two days behind a very sweet elderly lady at the checkout counter at my local Food Basics. I remember once seeing a tabloid newspaper headline: “Sisters Reunited After 18 Years in Supermarket Checkout Line.” At the time, I thought this was a funny foul-up; now I understand how this could happen. First of all, when you’re checking out, it’s not absolutely necessary to read every headline on the tabloid rack out loud and follow up with a personal commentary of your own. Everybody agrees these Hollywood stars are all a bunch of freaks, so really one “tch, tch, tch” for each headline is sufficient. And “That Clooney kid can rattle my cage anytime” is entirely inappropriate. I’ve learned one thing in all the years I’ve been doing my own grocery shopping— it’s that when you show up at the checkout counter with items you have removed from their shelves, the store expects payment. That’s why being presented with an itemized receipt should come as no surprise to you. That’s why you may want to start breaking into that portable vault, affectionately referred to as a purse, well before you’re asked to pony up. So the first tip is: grocery shopping requires payment and lettuce can wilt and die in the time it takes some people to produce legal tender at the cash register. This brings me to another curious habit women practise: spending hours rummaging through their purses and never actually finding anything. You must remember that purses with multiple compartments, snaps, zippers and button-down leather latches were designed by a
disgraced accountant who hated his mother. In the time it takes you to open the purse and dump three pounds of loonies onto the counter, you could have paid with the $20 bill that fell on the floor. You did thank me for picking the $20 bill up and handing it to you, but really my motives were purely selfish. I was hoping to get home for Thanksgiving! And while we’re on the subject of purses, not unlike garages, it’s always good to clean them out once in a while. My mother once went to the hospital for a routine scan and she produced so many health cards, she was suspected of being the ringleader in an elaborate black market scheme selling gallstone operations to illegal immigrants. Please, trust me, the quality of health care in this country does not improve just because you can produce enough expired cards to play a game of euchre. Tip: any health card bearing your maiden name comes out of the wallet and goes into the family album. Meanwhile, back at the checkout counter — which now looks like a line to buy bread in the old Soviet Union — you have paid, you have received your change and you’re cramming those coins into that elusive little change purse when a really bad idea comes to mind. No, no, please. No matter how close your money compartment is to the photos of your grandchildren do not, I repeat, do not take them out to show the cashier. I know you think of the cashier as your friend, but if you’d look behind you at the sea of faces flushed with anger, you’d realize that to the rest of us, she’s a potentially dangerous witness and the last thing standing between you and the mob. Sure, she’s still smiling pleasantly at you. That’s because she’s matured a lot as a
person since you first arrived! We’re all smiling at you because you’re cuddly and cute as a button, but please, not photos of the kids at camp last summer. Okay, if you’ve already got the photos out, then you gotta promise: just names, ages, grades, recent accomplishments and brief testimonials from teachers and coaches. And that’s it. If you get into their plans for the future, I’m tossing a large bill down on the counter and I’m going over you with my groceries like OJ Simpson in that vintage airport ad for Hertz. And finally, let’s remember: old age is that stage of life when your conversations get longer but your body gets shorter. When you senior men are driving out there on the roads, or almost on the roads, it’s not enough for the driver behind you to see knuckles on the steering wheel to confirm the presence of a person in that car. Wave every so often, so we know for sure you’re in there. It’s a safety precaution that’s also good for circulation. P.S. And that ain’t the worst thing about being an old man. No, the worst thing is I became one almost overnight and sooner than you can say “Regularity Rules!” So many cheap shots - so little time left!

brother Leon Eddy. Friends were welcomed at the Mentley Funeral Home in Little Valley on Sept. 30. Funeral services were held Oct. 1. Burial will be in Green Cemetery in Great Valley, N.Y. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the American Lung Association.
by Lee Child Someone has taken a shot at the president of France in the City of Light. The bullet was American. The distance between the gunman and the target was exceptional. How many snipers can shoot from three-quarters q of a mile with total confidence? Very few, but John Kott—an American mark marksman gone bad—is one of them. And after fifteen years in prison, he’s out, unaccounted for, and likely drawing a bead on a G8 summit packed with enou enough world leaders to tempt any assassin. If anyone can stop Kott, it’s the man who beat him before: Reacher. And thou though he’d rather work alone, Reacher is teamed with Casey Nice, a rookie ana analyst who keeps her cool with Zoloft. They’re facing a rough road, full of ruthless mobsters, Serbian thugs, close calls, double-crosses—and no bac backup if they’re caught. All the while Reacher can’t stop thinking about the woman he once failed to save. But he won’t let that that happens again. No Not this time. Not Nice. This book is available at the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book format. It is als also available as an audio book using our inter library loan program.

‘Hands-On’ History Lessons By Daniel Meyer
A unique approach to education that focuses on American Civil War history provides visitors to the Echoes Through Time Learning Center in the Village of Springville an opportunity to experience “hands-on” history programs that are both informative and entertaining. Located at 39 East Main St. inside the “Union Block” building in the heart of the village’s central business district, the museum is dedicated to the preservation of American heritage and historical sites through the promotion of American history and our Civil War ancestors who served on either side of the conflict. The museum is led by codirectors Steve Teeft and Thomas Place, longtime friends who both share a passion and devotion to the education and preservation of the Civil War era. Working with a dedicated group of volunteers, they use the Echoes Through Time Learning Center to help interpret, demonstrate and promote American history through a variety of historical and educational programs, demonstrations and discussions. “We do a little bit of everything with a real focus on education, research and documenting our history,” said Teeft. “We have resources and a reference library and some great collections and exhibits that help promote and preserve our historical interest for hopefully many generations to come.” Teeft and Place spent two decades serving as Civil War reenactment actors and have a countless number of hours under their belts studying and researching what was a very turbulent time period in our nation’s history. Both men enjoy sharing their knowledge with others through lectures, presentations and demonstrations that focus specifically on our nation’s Civil War historical battlefield sites. “Our idea and approach to
all of this is firmly focused on education and preservation,” said Place. “Our goal is to put on programs and make presentations to local schools, historical societies and other organizations in Western New York.” The Echoes Through Time Learning Center is currently open every Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. and every Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., with special hours on weekdays by appointment. Teeft, Place and other volunteers also are available to speak to interested groups and organizations, including those who may have a specific interest from the Civil War era. “We have outstanding volunteers,” said Place. “Each one of them has a specialty and some incredible expertise and detailed knowledge that provides some tremendous insight and gives you a unique ‘hands-on’ history lesson that you really cannot find anywhere else.” The volunteers at Echoes Through Time Learning Center pride themselves on giving back to the community by sharing their knowledge of the Civil War era with anyone interested in learning more about the history of the battle between the North and the South. “We are not in this to make money,” said Place. “We want to remember our ancestors and share with others what we are so passionate about in the hopes they will do the same
and pass it along, especially to the younger generations. We can’t allow our past to become a distant memory. Whatever we can do to keep it in the forefront of people’s minds is why we do what we do.” Like most small museums, the center is always seeking additional volunteers to fill a wide variety of roles. “You don’t even necessarily have to know a lot of the Civil War to be a volunteer,” said Place. “We want people who want to learn and may have a specific skill or knowledge and will be motivated to assist anyone looking to learn more about the Civil War era.” For more information about the Echoes Through Time Learning Center, visit www. echoesthroughtime.com, search “Echoes Through Time Learning Center” on Facebook or call either (716) 957-2740 or (716) 870-0174.
(Not Just) Beer & Burgers:
Balloons … And Not the Helium-Filled Kind Tater Tots and Wings
By The Commander (The Usual Gang of Idiots)
As the summer proper — July and August — wound down, Mrs. Commander and I decided to have a little staycation day on the Friday before Labor Day. We decided to start by doing a hike up one of Holiday Valley’s scenic ski trails before going into the village, so we headed to the Tannenbaum area of Holiday Valley — we thought it would be the easiest hill to climb. We were very surprised when we drove into the parking area of the lodge. It was like the middle of ski season with the number of cars! We parked and headed to the customer service area to check out all the new outdoor things to do at Sky High Adventure Park. You can take a chairlift ride up the Spruce Lake chair, climb the Aerial Park or take a ride on the Mountain Coaster. The coaster
ECS JV Football • Photos by Ellicottville Sports Boosters
sounded more our style, so with tickets in hand, we headed to the lineup area. On the way, we decided to take a side hike to the Aerial Park to see all the fun that people young and old were having in the trees. It looked a lot like a troop of chimpanzees in the trees, complete with the whoops of joy and fun. Before riding the Mountain Coaster, you are given a short lesson on how to control the speed of the car just before you are pulled up the hill. I made a mistake and had Mrs. Commander go ahead of me. When we got to the top, she started down the track but kept the speed at a respectable rate. I, not being so respectable, waited a good while until she was well on her way and I let my car go. What a blast! The speed was fabulous and thrilling. We will definitely do this ride again, probably in the middle of ski season to experience it on one of those cold and blue-sky days of midwinter. There was no need for the hike after our thrilling coaster ride, so we headed into the village for lunch. We had no particular destination in mind, but when we passed Balloons Restaurant & Night Club, we saw a sign that announced, “The Back is Open,” so in we headed. As I entered and headed to “The Back,” it opened up into a bright and airy dining area with a long bar against one wall. The décor, tables and overall look felt fun and warm. I even asked the bartender, Abby, if they had a name other than “Out Back” for this new dining area and there is none — just “Out Back.” For me it would make the most awesome man cave, so if there was to be a name — that would be it!
There was plenty of seating, large doors opened up to outdoor dining, but we decided to keep Amber company at the bar, so that is where we had lunch. Yes, I’m terrible with names, but it was something that began with an A! For starters, Mrs. Commander ordered the almost world famous soup of the day, which was a chicken wing soup that she paired with a weight-conscious lite beer. As she was ordering, I was distracted by a dish of large, lightly browned puffs going past me, so I asked Amber what they were. “Stuffed tater tots with a side of sour cream,” she said. Sounded good to me! And they change up the stuffing weekly. Mine was stuffed jalapeño. I paired this with a nice Peak IPA. The tater tots were more than what I expected. Much larger than the ones we remember getting in school, and with the stuffing, very tasty. The IPA, with its bold taste, went well with all the flavors in the tots. The soup was spectacular. My wife allowed me a taste and she agreed that it was very good. For our next course, as tradition for this series of articles, we would order a burger, but not this time. I have always liked the chicken wings at Balloons the best, so that is what we ordered — Buffalo-style … crisp. They did not disappoint and to complement them, we shared a Southern Tier IPA, which is one IPA that my wife will drink. In the past, I have had their sweet Thai chili and maple chipotle sauces, but my favorite continues to be the traditional Buffalo style. As we headed back to Olean from our staycation, I made a mental note to send out a future invite to the Usual Gang of Idiots and set the meeting for “Out Back,” hopefully with a football game on.

A Special Treat for the Entire Family Pumpkinville Offers Wholesome Fun
Visit the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol Sausage and Beer Tent at Fall Festival It is that time of year again, preparation season for ski patrollers. When the days get shorter and the leaves start to change, the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol starts preparing for the upcoming ski season. Our fall O.E.C., (Outdoor Emergency Care), and chair evacuation refreshers are completed. The fall O.E.C. class for new patrollers is well underway. Next up, Fall Festival. We have for many years set up a sausage and beer tent next to the Ellicottville Post Office. The Fall Festival is our major fundraiser for the upcoming season. This year we were extremely fortunate to benefit from “The Art of Rescue,” which was hosted by Ellicottville Brewing Company on Aug. 2, 2014. Through these fundraisers, we will be able to continue to provide our injured guests with the best care possible. Holiday Valley is an amazing ski/ride area that ranks in the top 10 in the East all the time. We spend a great deal of time on prevention and education so that your visit will be more enjoyable. If you, a family member, or a friend does get injured, know that Holiday Valley provides us with the best possible facility to care for you. If you’re going to be from one of the best ski area in the East, then you better have one of the best ski patrols, too. Our funds raisers allow us to purchase all of the first-aid supplies and training that we need to do that. So, when you’re out at Fall Festival Oct. 11 and 12, stop by our booth and have a sausage and a beer. You never know when you might need a Band-Aid or the support of the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol. Enjoy the colorful scenery, and know that we will be prepared when the snow flies!

We usually reserve our annual Pumpkinville trip for a weekend, but this year, we decided to head out on a Monday afternoon. The weather was perfect — sunny, in the 70s, with changing leaves all along the route. As we pulled in, anxious kids were jumping out of their parked vehicles to see this amazing place, and mine were exchanging the stresses of the school day for the excitement of Pumpkinville. Ava is 11 and Lily is 9, and they are no less excited to visit now than when they were very little. After getting our wristbands, our first stop was the all-new corn maze. Since we knew it had been professionally designed this year by a company in Utah, we thought it would take a little longer than usual. We got the Funky Pumpkin paper that served as our ticket into the maze and started meandering our way through, searching for the stencils to complete our pumpkin face. As we walked along, we liked guessing which part of the WYRK logo we were walking through (seen from above, the maze sponsor’s logo is carved into the corn!) We spent about a half an hour completing the maze, and when we checked our pumpkin faces against the naming poster out front, we had created “Buffy,” “Nosferatu” and “Ripper.” “The new corn maze is fun and challenging,” Ava noted. “I like that you’re on a journey trying to find stencils for the pumpkin’s face,” added Lily. Next, we headed for the new pedal car track, which sits in front of and slightly to the left of the maze entrance. The cars are dune buggy-style vehicles with four wide tires that move by pedals, similar to a bicycle. Each car is tractor-themed and there are two sizes — one for adults and older kids, and one for smaller children. We lucked out and had the track to ourselves, so we piled into three of the larger cars. After three laps, with constant giggling and “trash talking” while we raced, we parked the cars. What a workout! “I loved the pedal cars and it was good exercise!” said Lily. “It was so much fun!” Ava said. “I liked racing my mom and sister.” After that, we needed to refuel, so we settled down in the new food service area for some fresh cider — delicious! — and then to get some of Pumpkinville’s famous pumpkin donuts. Yum! Plenty of covered picnic tables make it easy to take a break and plan out our next stop.
We decided to visit the animals next. We fed the goats and laughed at the two baby goats that kept sneaking through their fence and heading to the machine that contains their food. A quarter buys you a handful of food that can be used for the goats, pigs, horses and sheep, and we tried to make sure every one of them got a few morsels. “I love how cute they are and how you can feed them,” Ava said, laughing at the memory of the baby goats. We also made sure to stop at many of the photo cutouts, including the one that measures height that’s always updated with current year, so you know how your kids “measure up” each year when they visit. Another new attraction this year is a pumpkin house that is large enough to go into. It’s always fun to find another photo op! My kids like to strike goofy poses with them. Next on the agenda — the Jumpin’ Pillows! These were installed last season and have quickly become one of the must-do attractions. The pillows are giant air-filled bags built right into the ground — kind of a cross between a huge trampoline and a bounce house. “They’re bigger and bouncier than trampolines,” stated Lily. “The Jumpin’ Pillows are my favorite thing at Pumpkinville,” Ava said. “They’re better than a trampoline, because they’re huge and they don’t have hard edges. It feels like you’re jumping on air!” Finally, we browsed the gift shops, picked up some maple suckers, and picked out some gourds, squash and cider to bring home. “I love Pumpkinville because there is so much to do and a lot of good food to eat!” Lily said of her favorite fall destination. “I’m so glad that my family comes here every year!” Ava said. And, as a mom, I’d have to agree. It’s just good, old-fashioned family fun. Pumpkinville is owned by Dan and Diane Pawlowski, some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and you really know their goal is to make sure everyone’s having a great time! Pumpkinville is about connecting with your kids and spending quality time together enjoying the great outdoors this time of year. Don’t miss this short window of opportunity to make wonderful fall memories with your kids!

The Sports Medicine Doctor:
The Definition of Win
By Andrew W. Gottschalk, M.D., Director of Sports Medicine Champion Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, Cole Memorial Health System
Last Friday, LeBron James and the new-look Cleveland Cavaliers were officially introduced to the world at a press conference that was — of all things — surprisingly humble. Media fanfare engulfed LeBron. However, gone was the overwhelming, million-dollar, Hollywood party like Miami threw for him when he joined the Heat in 2010. Regardless, reporters lined up to ask LeBron variations of the first question always asked in sports: Are you going to win? “I know what it takes [to win] ... But I also understand it won’t be easy,” LeBron said. He spoke of patience and expectations with an air of maturity that has developed right alongside his basketball skills these past few years. To understand why LeBron’s response was so astute, we need to take a step back and talk about sports psychology. Sports psychology is a relatively new field of sports medicine that deals with the mental health of athletes and others associated with sports (coaches, owners, fans, etc.).
On the surface it might seem silly, but one focus of sports psychology is defining what a “win” is. We tend to think the answer is obvious: A “win” is when a fan goes to ESPN.com, looks up his team, and sees that a W is marked in the column after last night’s game. But a sports psychologist would tell us that the W or the L doesn’t tell the whole story. For example: A team plays a much better team, but instead of getting blown out, the lesser team plays a close contest. Do the players on the lesser team hang their heads as losers? Or does the coach say, “That was a game to be proud of. We learned a lot. Next time we’ll be even better.” Another example: A team loses a game, but one of that team’s players sets a personal record. Does that player walk away a loser? Or does the player think, “I’m proud of myself, and I’ll use this pride to work with and elevate my teammates.” Let’s come back to LeBron James and the Cavaliers: A team rebuilds and a hero comes home. If the coaches are clever, the players are dedicated, and the atmosphere at Quicken Loans Arena is electric, will Ohioans still buy Cavaliers tickets and Cavaliers jerseys — regardless of the score at the end of the night? Likely so. So LeBron told Cleveland and the rest of us to be patient and the Cavaliers would win. He didn’t elaborate. We all know that sometimes things don’t go the way we wish they would. Just ask Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. In 2010, Gilbert promised he would do whatever it takes, but his Cavaliers lost LeBron to the Heat that year. Instead of imploding, the Cavaliers rebuilt the team, redefined
their definition of a win, and moved on. Skip ahead to 2014. LeBron is back. The Cavaliers have made some key trades. And they have potential to compete at the highest level. A tremendous high school basketball player came to me some years ago. Unfortunately, she kept dislocating her shoulder. It was no one’s fault. Genetically, she had a loose shoulder that didn’t like to stay in its socket. But she was determined. She told me she wanted to win. After months of physical therapy and eventual shoulder surgery, her shoulder pain subsided, but she was no longer the basketball player she had been. So she joined the track team and became a sprinter. She was a tremendous runner, eventually going on to place at the state level and go to a Division I university on scholarship. “Whatever it takes to win” sometimes yields different results than we expect. The basketball team loses a key player but still competes. An athlete achieves personal goals though the team loses the contest. A basketball star becomes a track star. Whether it’s the basketball game, the track meet, or the game of life, winning is exciting and challenging. It’s fulfilling and worthwhile. But rarely is winning exactly what we think it will be. This makes us stronger, not weaker. More competitive, not less. And more equipped to face the challenges ahead. Andrew W. Gottschalk, M.D., is the Director of Sports Medicine at Champion Orthopedics & Sports Medicine of Cole Memorial Health System and team physician for St. Bonaventure University athletics.

getting a facelift. “The scope of the project is milling/filling the pavement and applying a new hot mix asphalt overlay to provide a new riding surface,” said Susan Surdej, regional public information officer of the New York State Department of Transportation. “The existing pavement surface will first be milled off, then some pavement repairs will be made, then the project will be paved.” The milling is already underway and the paving of the asphalt overlay was scheduled to start this week. Surdej notes that paving is weather dependent. “Amherst Paving was awarded the project, which
included multiple locations throughout Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties,” said Surdej. Just what does this project mean to travelers? “Traffic will be maintained using a one-lane, two-way setup with flaggers,” Surdej explained. “There will be minimal delays with this work.” A quick turnaround is anticipated. “The projected completion date is October 7, but again, paving is weather dependent. There will still be work that needs to be completed such as striping once the paving is completed,” Surdej said. A sensible alternate route, that avoids this section of Route
219 entirely, is Route 240, which runs parallel to Route 219, accessible via Route 39 on the east side of Springville. Route 240 ends at Route 242, which leads to Ellicottville. Route 242, however, is also being paved during this time. “Route 242 is scheduled for milling at approximately the same time as the paving of Route 219 is being done. This operation will also be done using flaggers. Delays will be minimal and routine,” assured Surdej. While the paving may present a minor and temporary inconvenience for drivers, the much-needed repairs will make later fall and winter driving on this section much smoother and less stressful.
Other Things You Should Know When Attending Fall Festival Letter from the Special Events Committee 2014 • Know where you are staying and the phone number (there are a lot of condos and rental houses.) Know how you are getting home and where you are going. • Have an emergency plan — where to meet if you are separated or cell service is unavailable. • Keep your pets at home. It’s crowded and they will be happier as well as all concerned. Village Laws: Clean up after your pets. All pets are to be on a leash. • Rethink that huge stroller or wagon … it’s crowded. • Dress accordingly. You will be walking, and temps and weather conditions change quickly, so be prepared! • Fake ID? Bouncers will definitely be looking for them. Backpacks and large purses may or may not be allowed into bars. • Don’t travel alone. Use sidewalks outside of festival areas. There IS traffic. • Eat and stay hydrated (popcorn and alcohol don’t cut it). • Support local and not-for-profits. They are a huge part in making this all happen! • Traffic … expect it. Parking ... interesting. Shuttles are available to designated locations. Expect to walk. • House parties fall under the same noise and occupancy ordinances. Keep it respectable after 11 p.m. • Bus and private carriers loading and unloading allowed only at the DPW on Mill & Martha Street. •Open Container Law = Zero Tolerance. This applies to buses and private carriers, anyone in village public space. Drink it or leave it. • It’s crowded … keep your cool, be patient in traffic, with servers, employees and others all around. • Behave, have fun, keep it in check. Remember you are a guest or host and respect all.

Letter to the Editor Help Make Fall Festival Safe and Enjoyable As Ellicottville readies itself to host its largest Festival of the year, we would like to let you know what we have been working on. The Special Events Committee, Ellicottville Police Department, Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department, NY State Police, EVL Fire Department, Village and Town Boards, Code Enforcement, DPW, Chamber of Commerce, along with input from local residents, merchants and bar owners, have been working diligently on ways to improve and refine Fall Festival as we know it. Numerous work sessions and meetings have been conducted to review and address both the weak and the strong points of the festival, with the main goal being to provide a quality event while maintaining safety, control and integrity to our residents, guests and properties. ZERO TOLERANCE is the LAW and will be strictly enforced. This means absolutely no alcohol is allowed on village streets. You will not be allowed to leave an establishment or private property, walk to, from or within the village with open containers. Drink it or leave it. Public intoxication and disorderly conduct will not be tolerated. NOISE LEVELS have been addressed with the local bars and beer tents. Outdoor live music will end at 11 p.m. quieter, background music until 12 p.m. in accordance with the local sound level ordinance. Establishments with indoor music will follow the sound ordinance for volumes as written. House parties will also be obligated to obey this law. PARKING: We strongly encourage carpooling, use of shuttles or walking! Space is limited and illegally parked vehicles (including motorcycles) will be ticketed and towed. Fire lanes, hydrants and sidewalks are not to be blocked. Observe all temporary and regular “No Parking” signs. Flagmen for private lots are not allowed in the streets. Illegally parked vehicles on private property are the landowners’ responsibility. BUSES: Hired bus drop and pick-up site will be located at the DPW building on Mill & Martha Street. Parking for the buses is on Route 219, beyond Holiday Valley Road at the old driving range site. Buses will not be allowed to load or unload elsewhere. Bus lines will be notified of open container law and will be expected to adhere. SHUTTLE SERVICE: Daytime loading site at Jefferson Street & Martha Street is Saturday & Sunday, 10 a.m.–7 p.m. Evening site has changed to DPW building at Mill Street & Martha Street (behind the Wingate) 7 p.m.–3 a.m. The shuttle destinations will be to most of the condo areas. Other destinations will require the taxi service (call chamber for info at 699-5046). For a taxi, call 375-TAXI. POLICE WILL NOT GIVE YOU A RIDE! RESTROOMS: There will be plenty of Port-o-Johns provided throughout the festival area. They are cleaned routinely, use them! Public urination is against the law. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID LOCATION: Sheriff and First Aid trailers will be located on Washington Street by Coffee Culture. OCCUPANCY CODES: Code enforcement officer will be on duty to inspect occupancy loads, both public and private. CELL SERVICE: Have a plan if the towers go down. Know where to meet if you are separated. VENDORS are to visibly display vendor and health department permits on tents. Sandwich boards, tables/chairs, will not be allowed in order to keep sidewalks and tree lawns open to line of sight for emergency personnel. Help make Fall Festival safe and enjoyable. If you see something illegal, report it. If you see a mess, clean it up. Play by the rules. The future of Fall Fest depends on it. Sincerely, Special Events Committee, Ellicottville Village and Town Boards, Local, County and State Police Departments, Ellicottville Fire Department, Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce.

which are being submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for reimbursement. In addition, SRC is estimating costs to mitigate problems that are likely to persist or recur unless longterm fixes are made. Those figures are in addition to the damages estimate. As of the special meeting, SRC reported it had submitted seven of 16 projects to the agency, totaling $181,788. SRC representatives estimated they would need another two to three weeks to submit the
balance of the projects. (Originally, SRC identified 17 projects; two were combined into one.) Once FEMA has SRC’s documentation, it begins its process of approval and payment – a process that takes as many as 14 weeks. The board originally signed a contract for $30,000 on Aug. 18 to get SRC started. A $10,000 extension of that contract was approved on Sept. 20 on the condition that SRC attend the special meeting on the 29th with better documentation of progress. Satisfied that adequate progress is being

made, the board authorized Keis to sign another contract for $15,000 that takes the firm into the week of Oct. 20 to complete the task. At its regularly scheduled board meeting on Oct. 20, the board and SRC will again review the progress report and will have a better idea of when the project submissions will be complete. A second phase of the process, involving SRC’s review of FEMA’s own project descriptions, will begin as soon as those FEMA documents begin to come in.
