Just because you’re all grown up, doesn’t mean you can’t have fun during Halloween Season. Ellicottville and the surrounding towns offer a great variety of spooktacular activities for the oh-so-slightlymore-mature set. Haunting Events Since there’s safety in numbers, gather up some friends (especially those who won’t mind you jumping into their laps!) and head to Nightmare Hayrides on Sommerville St., a haunting experience that begins with a 25-minute, tractor-drawn ride down a creepy path with live creatures haunting the way. Next stop on the journey is a haunted maze sprawling over an acre of land, followed by a trip through the haunted barn, featuring a dizzying vortex tunnel. A new feature this year is the Gothic Chamber that you really must experience for yourself! Nightmare Hayrides are held at the same location as the Ellicottville Championship Rodeo, 6319 Sommerville Valley Rd. in Ellicottville on Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Planning Board OKs Armor Inn, 1887 Building Site Plan By Jann Wiswall
Following public hearings on the matter, the Village Planning Board approved on Oct. 14 the application for a
special use permit to “operate a new restaurant in an existing commercial building” and the application for a site plan amendment “to alter the previously approved site plan for parking expansion and building addition.” The special use permit for
the Armor Inn restaurant in the Village Centre property at East Washington and Mill streets in its current physical space was approved after months of review and community input. The restaurant will open before ski season and plans to serve See Planning Board page 5

By Daniel Meyer
As one of the fastest growing sources for energy, solar power usage is gaining popularity throughout the country. Thanks to
a state program, local school districts have an opportunity to use that type of energy to help reduce costs while at the same time help protect the environment by reducing the school’s carbon footprint. K-Solar is a joint project of the New York See Solar Power page 11

Ann Williams and Richard Steinberg, two of a group of owners of a vacation property off Townline Road (aka Stoney Lonesome), had the privilege of the floor for the third month
in a row at the Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014, meeting of the Town of Ellicottville’s board. The owners have argued that the road leading to the home is owned by the town and that maintenance of the
road inexplicably stopped in 2003. In August, they asked the board for help getting the town highway supervisor to agree to reinstate maintenance. Over the next months, See Town Board page 5

representation on the committee. He told them he thought this would be a fine idea, and reminded them that it would require a year-round commitment, as the committee is involved in all village events, not just Fall Festival. He will keep the board informed about any volunteers that come forward. John Northrup, who is converting the 1887 Building site into a condominium property, briefed the board on his request to trade some small strips of land surrounding the building with the village to ensure that workers have access to certain areas of the building for repairs. Village attorney Bob Simon, who was not present at the board meeting, had previously stated that Northrup and co-developer Krog Development must present a site plan for review by the Village Planning Board. Northrup said he planned to do so at the Oct. 14 meeting of the planning board (see Planning Board story, front page). DPW Report Superintendent of Public Works Harold Morton reported that about half of the roof on the DPW building is leaking, causing damage to parts of the interior including the records room. The board authorized him to have the roof replaced at a cost of $28,830. Morton said that the department has completed water line repairs at Elk and Elizabeth streets and has started work on similar repairs at Martha and Madison streets. He also reported that a check
for $88,980 had been received from the village’s insurance company to cover repair costs for the ultraviolet disinfection system at the wastewater treatment plant that was struck by lightning in August. Repairs will begin in the next few weeks. And he noted that leaf pick up in the village will continue through the end of the month. Engineer’s Report Village Engineer Mike Smith reported that final engineering and design work for the town and village’s new wastewater treatment plant continues, with construction set to begin in spring 2015. The board approved a transfer of $315,000 from the sewer account to the sewer capital reserve budget line in order to pay engineering bills. In his continuing efforts to look for cost reductions for the plant, Smith said that he had spoken with a firm about installing solar panels. Through federal and state incentives, the panels could be installed at no cost to the village, with the exception of some required land preparation. Under the agreement, the panels would last 20 years and the village would pay only for the energy it uses at a rate that would be contractually less than it spends on fossil fuels. The panels would not entirely eliminate the need for fossil fuel use, but Smith said he believes the ongoing cost savings would be significant, and would reduce carbon emissions. He will report back to the board with more
information next month. Flood Protection Local Law Update As has been reported frequently in the Ellicottville Times, new flood plain maps for the village and town were authorized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and are available for the public’s review at the village/town hall and online at www.ellicottvillegov. com/html/tbldgdept.htm, then click on “Flood Zone Map.” In preparation for the maps’ adoption in February, the board will hold a public hearing at its Nov. 10 monthly meeting on the new maps to allow residents to ask questions and make comments. The board also is working on making amendments to its associated Flood Protection Local Law. A public hearing on that law will be scheduled once the board approves its draft. Tax Caps Mayor Charles Coolidge asked the board to override the state’s 2 percent property tax cap and the 1 percent property tax freeze for 2015 in light of the fact that the board likely cannot hold tax increases below those rates next year due to the cost of the new wastewater treatment plant. The board agreed. Finally, Coolidge said that the official village Halloween trick-or-treat will take place on Friday, Oct. 31, 5:30–8 p.m. He noted that the American Legion Halloween party will be held from 6–8 p.m. on the same evening.

Interstate 86 Re-Opened to Traffic It’s official! Interstate 86, the Southern Tier Expressway, between Exits 20 and 23 on the Allegany Territory of the Seneca Nation in Cattaraugus County is now open. Interstate 86 had been closed to traffic since early May as part of a $21 million reconstruction project. The Interstate 86 improvement project included the major rehabilitation of approximately seven miles of road surface between Exit 20 and three miles west of Exit 23, and minor rehabilitation of eight highway bridges. The eastbound ramps from Interstate 86 to Exit 20
were reconstructed and realigned to provide more land for development, and the westbound ramps at Exit 20 and the ramps at Exit 21 were rehabilitated. In addition, enhanced snow fencing, new traffic signs, drainage and new guide rail were installed on Interstate 86. State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald said, “This project has restored the rideability of the pavement and structural integrity of the bridges on the Sothern Tier Expressway, while providing a safer and more comfortable
riding surface for its users.” Interstate 86 was closed in both directions to facilitate highway and bridge reconstruction due to the physical constraints of the site and the proximity to the Allegheny River. Traffic was detoured on NY Route 417 but has now returned to Interstate 86. The project was one of several construction projects designed to improve the Interstate 86 corridor that has been completed over the last several years.
2014 Ellicottville Christmas Cantata Rehearsals Begin On Sunday, Nov. 2, the Ellicottville Community Choir will once again begin preparing for its annual Cantata, which will be held on Dec. 21. The choir will be under the capable direction of Annette Ieda, from the Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church. Rehearsals will be held weekly at the United Church on Elizabeth Street. All 90-minute sessions will begin promptly at 1 p.m. every Sunday for seven weeks. Annette Ieda, the director, is hoping for at least 40 people from the town to join the choir. This year, the Cantata committee decided to invite the members of the Salamanca Community Choir, made up of singers from the surrounding community, to join voices with our choir, making a combined
group of around 80 singers. Two concerts will, therefore, be given on Dec. 21— one performance at 3 p.m. concert at the United Congregational Methodist Church in Salamanca, and another at 7 p.m. at the Holy Name of Mary Church in Ellicottville. Refreshments will be served after both concerts. Although rehearsals will be at the United Church in Ellicottville for the four November rehearsals, the Dec. 7 and Dec. 21 rehearsals (and 3 p.m. concert) will be in Salamanca. The Dec. 14 rehearsal at 1 p.m. will be at Holy Name of Mary in Ellicottville. Mrs. Ieda is enthusiastic about directing a large choir and hopes everyone who was involved with last year’s group
will continue to support the “new venue.” She stated, “Of course, the door will be open for even more singers, but please commit to at least five of the seven rehearsals if you plan to join up.” The cantata committee, made up of Annette Ieda, John and Sheila Burrell, Nancy Rogan and Wendy O’Neil, are in the process of selecting a cantata for this year. Whatever they choose, CDs will be purchased to help the singers learn their music, and books will be provided for each participant. If you enjoy singing and want to be part of a worthwhile community Christmas project, please reserve the dates and times and come join us! No auditions required!

Fall Attractions at Pumpkinville
GROUP FITNESS CLASSES October Schedule:
www.EllicottvilleTimes.com
Helicopter Rides, Chicken BBQ and Much More! By Alicia Dziak
In the seven weeks of Pumpkinville’s season, every day through Halloween is a party — and there are only a couple short weeks left to enjoy it this year. Two hundred acres of fun are packed into this family-owned and run farm in Great Valley. Come hungry because an endless array of food is yours for the taking — barbecue, apples, maple products, pumpkin donuts, kettle corn, and much more — as well as ice cream and hot foods served from the all-new food service building. “The new building has helped us move more people through smoothly,” said Dan Pawlowski, who owns Pumpkinville, along with his wife, Diane. The fun doesn’t stop there. Fabulous attractions await kids of all ages. New this year is a pedal car track — a fenced in track that lets you take tractor-themed pedal cars for a spin. The cars come in two sizes, one for kids and one for adults, and have four big tires and are pedaled like a bicycle. The pedaling is a workout, but beating your opponents gives you welldeserved bragging rights! The goal of the pedal car track was to serve as a step up for kids who have outgrown the nearby cow train attraction (and adults can ride this one, too). “So far, it’s been a big hit,” Pawlowski said. A new and improved corn maze beckons guests to make their way through, creating a “Funky Pumpkin” face as they go. For those unfamiliar with how this works, visitors get an orange sheet of paper with a blank pumpkin face on it. The challenge is to find three separate areas within the maze that contain various stencils to complete your face. One set has the eyes, one the noses and one the mouths. When your face is complete and you exit the maze, a poster shows the various faces you could create using the stencils with their corresponding names. This year, the maze was designed by a professional company in Utah, and boasts a bigger challenge of twists and turns
through tall stalks of corn. Up for some more adventure? Take a helicopter ride! Rides are available on weekends throughout October, weather permitting, and are only $35 per person. It’s a great chance to see the foliage and farm from above. While you’re up there, check out the WYRK logo in the corn maze. Two huge Jumpin’ Pillows await eager bouncers of all ages (up to 225 lbs.). These giant, air-filled “pillows” are built into the ground, and provide safe and super-fun jumpin’ action! Other favorite attractions include hayrides, the Spookum Barn, the Corn Cannon, Gem Mining, Storyland, and the Henhouse Five Review, a group of silly animatronic chickens that sing and tell jokes. Bring your camera and make sure to stop by some or all of the photo props, including a new pumpkin house you can walk into. Strike a pose with pilgrims, skeletons, witches and silly pumpkin figures. You also won’t be able to resist the animals! Goats, sheep, horses, pigs, bunnies and more look at you adoringly, waiting for you to feed them. “Most of the animals live here year round,” explained
Pawlowski. Food is available for only a quarter from several food dispensing machines placed near the animals. Need a pumpkin? Hundreds of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes fill the space in front of the gift shops. Or, you can head to the big pumpkin patch and pick your own. It’s almost impossible to leave Pumpkinville empty handed, and the Boo-tique and other shops offer a variety of gifts, decor and specialty items like homemade peanut butter and maple cotton candy. Squash, gourds, gallons of cider and more are also available to-go. Pumpkinville, located at 4844 Sugartown Rd. in Great Valley, is open daily through Oct. 31 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Don’t miss your chance this year to make great fall. Pawlowski said, “If you’re not having fun, I’m not doing my job!” For more information, visit www.pumpkinville.com.
Developer Launches Phase One of Glen Burn Trail Townhome Community ELLICOTTVILLE, N.Y. – Hillview Mews has launched Phase One of Glen Burn Trail, Ellicottville’s first residential townhome community that combines quality workmanship and thoughtful family-friendly designs with a variety of floor plans and finishing options … and with the added convenience of being only a five-minute walk to the village with its unique shops, restaurants and vibrant night life. “Hillview Mews has chosen to work with companies with established track records, solid reputations and quality of design and construction have been of utmost importance,” says Cathy Pritchard spokesperson for Team Pritchard, the realtors representing Glen Burn Trail. “In addition, this project has had a strong regional focus including using a local team of engineers, designers, contractors and tradespeople, as well as materials and supplies from this area when possible. For example, Mike Halloran is one of Ellicottville’s most respected builders and the construction team is all from this area. Site design is by CRC Engineering of Ellicottville and both the landscaping company, Custom Turf, and the kitchen and bathroom supplier, Cabinet World, are from Olean.” The very first home to sell at Glen Burn was purchased by a family that started skiing in Ellicottville four years ago, and decided in their fifth year to buy. “We looked at a lot of properties and what won us over was the combination of great location and value. In terms of what you get per square foot of living space, in our opinion nothing else in the
Scenes from Fall Festival • Photos by Jennie Acklin
area comes close to the quality of finishing and detail that Glen Burn Trail offers,” observes Lori Stewart. Glen Burn Trail consists of 38 two-story townhomes, some of which have views of the ski slopes. There will be 16 buildings in total – 10 duplexes and six triplexes. Garages will be available for all owners of duplexes and owners of the end units in the
triplexes. Middle units in the triplexes will have an outdoor storage area. These three- and four-bedroom homes range in size from 1,600–2,080 square feet with construction pricing starting at $250,000. The interior of these homes include many amenities including open floor plans, high ceilings, oversized windows, elegant kitchens and bathrooms, and master suites, as well as lighted sidewalks and access to the future Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail, a multi-use recreational trail that will connect schools, businesses and merchants throughout the area and will provide a safe, traffic-free way to walk, run, bike or snowshoe. A monthly HOA fee will cover the maintenance of commonly held property. New Try Before You Buy Promotion With the new Glen Burn Trail/Ellicottville “Try Before You Buy” program, prospective buyers are encouraged to come visit and tour the Glen Burn Trail model homes and at the same time, enjoy a two-night stay at the Ellicottville Inn, right in the heart of downtown Ellicottville, as well as dinner for four at Tips Up Café one of the area’s premier restaurants. If you decide to purchase at Glen Burn Trail, upon closing, the cost of your two-night stay and meal will be fully refunded. Glen Burn Trail is located at 6422 E. Washington St., Ellicottville.

For those reasons and numerous other legal justifications, it concluded that the road is actually a driveway, was never legally owned by the town and would not be maintained by the town going forward. A letter was sent to the owners explaining the board’s decision. At last month’s meeting, the owners returned to contest the decision. The board stood by its conclusion, but said it would table further discussion until its next meeting, pending the highway superintendent’s opinion. Since then, most board members have physically visited the property and spoken directly with Highway Superintendent Dave Golley. As a result of those discussions and further consultation with Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty, the board told the owners at Wednesday’s meeting that it still stands by its earlier decision, but that Golley “would be happy to receive dedication of the driveway to the town” if the owners bring it up to town specifications. “The town board has listened to you, and we understand your position, but we also have listened to the other advice we’ve gotten,” Town Supervisor John Burrell said. “This is where we are as a board.” Williams objected, saying that she didn’t think the owners should have to pay to bring the road up to specification. She asked for another written summary of the board’s decision. Moriarty said that the town’s original letter is adequate. She and Williams, who revealed that she is a lawyer, then discussed a number of next steps the owners could take, including legal actions. In the end, Williams indicated that she expects to file a Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request to get the information she wants, but acknowledged that the two camps have different opinions
and interpretations of the facts and that she hopes there are “no hard feelings.” Supervisor’s Report Burrell reported that the board has been working hard to prepare the 2015 budget and that a public hearing on the budget has been scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 6 p.m. at the Town/Village Hall. Next, he asked for the board’s opinion about whether to require some or all of the town’s department heads to attend the board’s monthly meetings. While not all department heads have new information to share every month, all can benefit from the information shared by others. The board agreed and suggested that department head’s reports could be moved toward the top of the agenda so that they can be excused early if needed. All agreed that is especially important that the town’s engineer, attorney, police officer in charge and highway superintendent attend. With the exception of the highway superintendent, most other department heads do regularly attend. Steve Crowley asked if it is possible for the board to require an elected official — in this case the highway superintendent — to attend the meetings, since he does not report to the board. He has not attended a meeting in many months. This discussion prompted a question to the board about the upcoming election and the referendum on making the highway superintendent position an appointed position instead of an elected one. The board has many reasons for proposing the change and Burrell asked if the board should make an effort to explain its position to the public. Crowley agreed that they should do so, but that board members should make their case as individuals, not as a board. It was agreed that an ad will be placed in local newspapers describing the benefits of making the post an appointed position. The ad will be paid for out of board
members’ pockets, not the town’s budget. Fall Festival Police Activity Police Officer in Charge Don Auge was not able to attend the meeting but provided Burrell with a police activity report from last weekend’s Fall Festival. Over the course of the weekend, the Ellicottville Police Department issued 12 citations for open container violations, one for harassment, one for disorderly conduct, one for public urination, one leash law violation, six misdemeanors (as a result of the department’s license plate reader) and one assault. It also issued 29 parking tickets. The Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department issued three citations open container violations, three for disorderly conduct and four for public urination. New York State Police data were not yet available. Rumors about injuries and worse have been circulating around town, so the board made certain to get the facts in time for its meeting. The assault charge noted above was the result of a fight that broke out in front of Ellicottville Brewing Company on Saturday night. A male victim was punched in the face with a fist and responding officials were concerned about a head injury, so an ambulance took the victim to the fire station where a Mercy Flight helicopter arrived to transfer the patient to ECMC. The victim was treated and released. He made his statement about the incident to police in person on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at the Town/Village Hall. Another Mercy Flight transfer occurred on Saturday afternoon when a motorcyclist went off the road on Route 219 outside of Ellicottville. To the board’s knowledge, the accident was unrelated to Fall Festival. The next meeting of the town board has been moved from its usual date to Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 6 p.m. in the Town/ Village Hall. All are welcome.
Cattaraugus County to Hold Meeting on Trails Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism will be holding a meeting for anyone interested in recreational trails in the county on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m., in the Legislative Chambers on the third floor of the County Center Building, 303 Court Street, Little Valley, N.Y. Any person or group interested in the development of existing and new trail networks in the county is invited to participate and share their thoughts. Cattaraugus County has an abundance of outdoor recreational opportunities for residents and visitors to enjoy.
Many of these opportunities center on the use of trails. Whether the trails are for biking, hiking, equestrian or snowmobiles, these trails play a vital role in the enjoyment of the Enchanted Mountains. In order to fully appreciate the natural beauty and quaint historic villages, and to maximize the potential that these areas provide, the County Department of Economic Development, Planning & Tourism is interested in developing new trails and connecting existing trails in the county. “We have a number of highquality trails in our county, and more trail systems are being proposed in quite a few other
locations. We are looking to connect the existing trails, and grow these networks to develop a complete system of trails within the county, explained Crystal Abers, director of the department. “We have heard from several different groups interested in developing trails in the county and would like to bring those folks together to discuss what we can do to expand the existing networks of trails and trail users. Your input is a very important step in this process.” For more information, please contact James Isaacson, senior planner at (716) 938-2320, or at JHIsaacson@cattco.org.

breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days per week. Changes to the original site plan for the entire development were approved with several conditions. Those conditions require the property owner, Ellicott Development, to add trees and a 6-foot, stockadetype fence along the rear parking lot to shield the shopping center from adjacent residential properties. It also must make adjustments to exterior lights. A proposed 705-square-foot addition cannot be approved by the planning board until a State Department of Environmental Conservation certification for construction on a floodway can be obtained. That certification is pending approval of the area’s new FEMA flood plain maps, which should take effect in February 2015. Issues with the driveway that is under a lease agreement between Ellicott Development and the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) also were discussed. For some customers of the shopping center, the driveway appears to be an alternative exit/entrance to the parking area. In fact, it is intended solely for CCIDA use. The planning board and Bill Paladino, CEO of Ellicott
Development, felt that most problems can be solved with signage. Paladino will return with a signage plan for planning board approval. 1887 Building Site Plan John Northrup and Krog Development submitted an application for a site plan review of the proposed reuse of Ellicottville’s iconic 1887 Building for condominiums. As Northrup explained to the planning board, the village attorney required the review in order to make legal a land swap with the village (see Village Board story, front page). The planning board approved the application as presented. No exterior changes are planned except to replace a door and remove the rear addition, which is not a part of the historic structure. Incidentally, Northrup reported that asbestos abatement in the building is underway. Fillmore Housing Developments Two new housing developments on the east and west sides of Fillmore Drive between East Washington and Parkside Drive are under review by the planning board. Owners of the east side property, known as the Glendale Development, LLC,
propose to construct nine townhouse buildings with 18 units. The owners presented a preliminary site plan for the “master planned development,” which currently is being reviewed by Village Engineer Mike Smith. Once Smith’s comments are received, the planning board can begin the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) process and schedule a public hearing. Sprague Development, owner of the property on the west side of Fillmore adjacent to the Ellicottville Square building, proposes to develop the land for a 19-lot subdivision of single-family homes. The preliminary plat plan for the “major subdivision” also is under review by Smith. Further consideration by the planning board was tabled until those comments are received. According to Jason Paananen, of Nussbaumer & Clarke, Smith is primarily concerned about the dual sewer lines that will service both properties. Paananen said sidewalks on both sides of Fillmore will be required. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 11 at 5:30 p.m. in the Town/ Village Hall.

Stephanie then was promoted to Commercial Loan Processor in the Little Valley main office after which she was promoted to Executive Administrative Assistant to the CEO, COO and most recently also to the bank’s new President. Also, Stephanie earned the positions of Secretary to CCBancorp and Secretary to CCB, both board
appointed positions. “Stephanie has proven her value to this institution in many, many ways,” stated President Mike Wimer. “Working in the various roles she has and bringing her wisdom into those roles, helped prepare Stephanie to be the great Branch Manager we’re expecting her to be.

Randolph, N.Y., nestled in the southern part of Cattaraugus County, is first on your list of places to visit! If you and your family are looking for a unique adventure this weekend, consider visiting an alpaca farm. Just a glance at the alpacas at Sue Bean’s farm, A Slice of Heaven Alpacas, located on Pope Road in Randolph, reveals that these sweet, docile cousins of the camel are a joy to all who meet them. Although alpacas are generally shy animals, they are receptive to visitors’ strokes and curious gazes, for no other animal of that size is as soft, loving, and yes, litter-trained as the alpaca. Walk inside Sue Bean’s beautiful gift shop, Simply Natural, and explore the luxurious gift items made from alpacas’ fleece. Warm socks, monogrammed alpaca blankets, and handsome handknit gloves and scarves are just a few of the items available for purchase at Simply Natural. Also on Pope Road are several Amish homes and businesses, as this road is one of several that are part of Cattaraugus County’s Amish Trail. Breathtaking views of the foliage are juxtaposed against the vast expanses of Amish fields, where you just might see a few hand-tied haystacks. Whether you’re looking for a tasty donut or butternut squash, hand-painted signs will direct you to the right place. Motorists in search of hardier fare, like hand-crafted furniture or hand-stitched quilts will also find helpful homemade signs guiding them along the way. However, if the
idea of driving through Amish country with only these small markings intimidates you (forget about using GPS!), then fear not. Start your journey in downtown Randolph, where every Main Street business has copies of the Amish Trail guide, complete with a map and Amish business directory. Once you’re downtown, however, you may find yourself hesitant to leave! Why not book your weekend at the Inn at One Bank Street, a beautifully remodeled 1904 firehouse that has four guest rooms, including two comfortable suites. Visitors can start their day or pause for refreshment at one of several restaurants downtown, such as Pete’s Place, which has the best burgers in town. Enjoy lunch and breakfast daily at Vern’s on Jamestown Street, or, if you’re lucky enough to be in Randolph on a Saturday, have a fish fry at BB’s Family Restaurant on Main Street. The wearied traveler should book a massage at Senn-Sations Salon and Day Spa in one of Randolph’s most beautiful Greek Revival historic buildings. Then discover the various shopping opportunities on Main Street by starting with Randolph Retail Company, home of unique gifts, home décor, and beautiful ladies’ clothing. Venture next door to Destination 129 Main, which houses antiques and furniture, as well as a ceramic shop, Ceramic emPOURium. Knitters and crocheters will be delighted to find Yarn for Ewe, the next shop along Main Street. Check out all types and
colors of yarns, from wool to cotton to acrylic, sock yarn, lace yarn, crochet thread, and much more! Weekends are the perfect time to visit Randolph, but keep in mind that although the shops are closed on Sundays, most restaurants are open on that day. Although there are many communities with fun places to shop and dine, Randolph is unique in that it is a center of learning and creativity. On Saturday, Sept. 20, Randolph celebrated its first annual Class Kick-Off, where community members and visitors were invited to the shops along Main Street to explore the various classes being held throughout the fall and winter. Learn knitting and crochet at Yarn for Ewe, paint and glaze ceramics at Ceramic emPOURium, or take painting classes and miniature garden classes at Randolph Retail Company. Get fit with dance lessons, kickboxing, or yoga at The Village Dance Studio or take sewing and quilting lessons at Betsey’s Country Shop. Students can take just one class, which is ideal for out of town visitors, or sign up for a series of classes, typically at a discounted rate. Potential students can visit w w w. e n j o y r a n d o l p h . c o m to contact these businesses for more information about classes, or to find out about all of Randolph’s businesses, restaurants, and upcoming events, including Country Christmas on Dec. 5–6.
GV Board Discusses Property Tax Freeze Credit
Kill Buck to Merge with Great Valley Youth Program By Mary Fox
The Great Valley Town Board met on Oct. 13, at 7:30 at the town hall. A 7 p.m. public hearing was held prior to the start of the meeting regarding the sale of the Kill Buck post office property to the Kill Buck Fire Company and the Property Tax Freeze Credit proposed by New York State. Murry Haines was present to represent the Kill Buck Fire Department regarding the sale of the post office property to the fire department. “We have consulted with Phil Moyer regarding the insurance,” said Haines, “and done all requested of us by the board. We are ready to go ahead with the sale.” A tax issue is yet to be resolved before the sale can be finalized. Carl Edwards, county legislator, reported from a recent meeting of county town supervisors that the proposed tax refund (which could amount to as little as $27 in the county), comes with a hidden cost to the towns in the form of more state control over shared services between towns. According to Edwards, it is an effort to force towns to become more dependent on the state. Shared services are in effect now, and forcing more will ultimately cripple the towns to the point where it is being dictated to by the state. “All towns are concerned,” said Edwards. “While a tax refund sounds great, it is a part of the politics of an election year. The biggest problems in the state are high taxes and supervision of the towns. It will not accomplish what needs to be done. Towns and villages are efficient. The real problem is at the state level.” Becky Pierce, director of the Great Valley Summer Youth
Program, was present to give a report on the program. “Sixty-four children were registered at the Great Valley Town Hall site this summer,” said Pierce. “Twenty-four were new to the program. Fifteen children were registered at the Kill Buck site.” Pierce felt the small numbers for Kill Buck were due to the traffic in the area and not being able to get in and out. “Due to low numbers in Kill Buck and the possibility to provide better programming, consolidation of the two programs makes sense,” said Supervisor Dan Brown. Pierce noted that very few children come on Fridays and suggested that Fridays be eliminated from the program making it a four-day week. “I would be able to do more field trips next year, and give the kids a more varied program,” said Pierce, about reducing the program to fewer days. “We would like to get Great Valley Youth Program T-shirts for the workers so kids and parents will be able to identify and relate to the supervisors,” said Brown. “We are also required to do background checks, which shouldn’t be an issue, but to make sure there are no problems.” It was agreed to consolidate the Kill Buck and Great Valley programs to meet at the Great Valley Town Hall and eliminate Fridays from the program. Brown went on to emphasize that, “next year I want to see a playground on the grounds of the Town Hall that will be available for the youth program as well as the public anytime. In the future I envision a pavilion for families to have picnics and for other uses.” “We now have $10,000 to spend. A basic playground
Becky Pierce, director of the Great Valley Summer Youth Program costs $30,000–$40,000,” said council woman Finch, Summer Youth Program board member. Brown said, “We will need public support to raise money to complete this project, perhaps in the form of fundraisers or public donations. It is a worthwhile cause, especially if we consolidate the two districts.” “We have one of the best youth programs of any town, remarkably well run,” continued Brown. The issue of property maintenance was discussed. “We now have a law in place to deal with violators. I want something done,” said Jim Evans, a town citizen, referring to his own frustration with neighbors violating the ordinance. Brown said he and Town Highway Superintendent Harrington had been in contact with National Grid for all new, energy efficient lighting in and outside the town buildings at a cost of $3,700 and would have to be put out to bid. The next meeting of the Great Valley Town Board will be Nov. 10, 2014 at the Town Hall.

The EllicottvilleFranklinville varsity football team got back to work this week with a 56-20 win over the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Timberwolves on Friday night for Ellicottville’s Homecoming. The varsity team also had 337 total yards of offense, with senior Phalla Musall rushing for 180 yards on 16 carries. Musall also had three touchdowns. Fellow senior, Callum Watt, had nine carries for 78 yards and one touchdown. Sophomore Preston Hutchison led the defense with eight tackles, followed by Blair Swanick with four tackles. Tanner Colucci led the special teams with three returns for 123 yards and one returned for 71 yards for a touchdown. Anthony Bernardi led the Timberwolves with 117
yards on 25 carries with one touchdown. The team faces the Nichols School from Buffalo on Saturday at 2 p.m. The JV football team kept their record unblemished as they beat the Timberwolves 54-20. The team was led by freshman Austin Grinols with three touchdowns, two by rushing and one on a return. Griffin Chudy proved to be a workhorse in the fullback position also rushing for a touchdown. Sophomore Tyler Pitner of Franklinville had an 82-yard touchdown run and ECS freshman Deric Lieper also had a touchdown carry and extra point. The JV team is home next Monday night against Sherman/Clymer.

Just when you thought you’d seen every trick from the Book of Nastiness, some mook comes up with “coal rolling.” Imagine you’re behind the wheel of your Prius and inhaling that new-car smell with gusto. You’re feeling pretty good about yourself, tooling down the open road in your comfortable, sensible hybrid. What’s not to like - a quiet ride with exceptional mileage that’s easy on the atmosphere. It sends a great message to your kids, maybe even your neighbours, that you’re doing your part to put less harmful emissions into the environment and help stop global warming. Suddenly, out of nowhere, there’s a big honkin’ truck beside you. You can’t help but notice the uncanny resemblance between the two guys in the cab smirking and pointing at you and the dentalchallenged bad guys in the movie Deliverance. After they pass you, you hear a loud backfire from the truck, a sharp explosive boom that sends a thick burst of black smoke. Engulfed in a cloud of choking soot, you’re forced to pull off the road. Known as “coal rolling” or “rolling coal,” you have just been the targeted victim of a new and vile protest movement. The two doofuses in the big honkin’ truck underscore this unique act of road rage with a sign in the back window that reads: “Prius Repellent.” That there are people out there that would go to such lengths to heap scorn and toxins on fellow human beings who are trying to save the planet - it truly boggles the mind and defies human logic. Yeah, right-wing bullies are smearing environmental friendly people with a storm of black exhaust fumes in order to send
their message of entitlement - it’s a free country, we’ll poison and pollute all we want. Not just a few ugly incidents, this hillbilly Honey Boo Boo virus is spreading across North America. Wisconsin appears to be the “Coal Rolling” capital of America, while British Columbia, one of the most naturally beautiful provinces in Canada, is home to our black stain of shame. There are - and I hope you’re sitting down for this one hundreds of websites and chat rooms dedicated to the best ways in which you can achieve the thickest, blackest carcinogenic blast without damaging your truck. On one of these sites, people who drive hybrid cars are referred to as “nature nuffies” and those who drive Japanese cars are called “rice burners.” There is actually a “Smoke Stack Kit” for sale to make it easier for you to bury an unsuspecting do-gooder in cancercausing crap! They don’t actually say that their beliefs come from watching Duck Dynasty or that their creative architect is The Cable Guy ... because they don’t have to. Excuse my incredulity, but I have great difficulty understanding the mentality of North Americans so eager to poison the well in order to express their displeasure with clean drinking water. How in the name of David Suzuki can clean air, more oxygen and cooling an overheated planet possibly be bad or divide people along liberal and conservative lines? I mean, when 176 million gallons of crude oil gushed into the Gulf of Mexico, were the “coal rollers” rooting for BP?!? It’s like doing an end run around an environmental group protesting the decimation of a rain forest by
... by setting fire to the forest! It’s like breaking through a flotilla of boats full of animal activists trying to save a whale tangled up in a fishing net by ... by harpooning the whale! The mantra of the “coal rollers” is that their lifestyle is being threatened by too many laws and regulations. They want to return to a wild west society in which they are free to foul the nest of nature to their heart’s content. Note to the “coal roller”: please forgive the Prius owners, the tree huggers and environmentalists in general. I know they’re a bunch of annoying, rosy-cheeked dogooders, but they’re just there to help you guys. They’re just trying to create an atmosphere in which your kids don’t have to wear oxygen tanks in class and dress up like astronauts when they go to the beach. And yes, I have hugged a tree. Most frequently the towering maple outside my window that provides me with shade, protects me from shoreline storms and emits badly needed oxygen into the air. Trees, as far as I can tell, are doing more to clean up the environment than people. It would be great if one day the “coal rollers” had an intimate encounter a nice big ol’ tree ... preferably at low speed.

“Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good” by Jan Karon After five hectic years of retirement from Lord’s Chapel, Father Tim Kavanagh returns with his wife, Cynthia, from a so-called pleasure trip to the land of his Irish ancestors. While glad to be at home in Mitford, something is definitely missing: a pulpit. But when he’s offered one, he decides he doesn’t want it. Maybe he’s lost his passion. His adopted son, Dooley, wrestles with his own passion—for the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner, and his vision to become a successful country vet. Hope Murphy, owner of Happy Endings bookstore, struggles with the potential loss of her unborn child and her hard-won business. All this as the weekly Muse poses a probing inquiry: Does Mitford still take care of its own? Millions of fans will applaud the chance to spend time, once more, in the often comic and utterly human presence of Jan Karon’s characters. Indeed, they have never been more sympathetic, bighearted, and engaging. This book is available at the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book format. It is also available in large print or as an audio book using our inter library loan program.

and their form improves, the benefits they see are amazing. Most of the skiers I started training in 2006 are still clients today. And, as we age, we need the strength training more and more. For this article, I decided to break down the muscle groups that you will want to concentrate on when it comes to strength workouts. Skiing involves: Quadriceps: Probably the most used muscles in skiing are the quads. These muscles hold you in position as you ski and they also provide protection for your knees. Great exercises for the quads are squats and lunges. Calves: Because your knees are bent when you ski, your calves (specifically the soleus) help you stay upright so you don’t fall over. You can work this muscle by doing calf raises either standing on a raised surface or machine calf raises. The Posterior Chain, Hamstrings, Glutes, Lower Back & Lats: Skiers are known for their butts. The muscles in the back of your body, like your glutes, hamstrings, lower back and lats, power you downhill, keep you stable in uneven terrain, and allow you to explode in the bumps. A strong posterior chain is essential to any movement, whether you’re skiing, hiking or mountain biking. Great exercises for working the posterior chain are squats, deadlifts, lunges (back step, front step or side step) and pushing weight overhead. For elasticity blasters, add jumping lunges and jump squats. Train Your Whole Core: Balance is a big part of skiing. Because you are in a flexed
position (bent over), your back has to work like a maniac to hold your body in that position. I typically save my core work until the end of workouts, when the other muscles are tired. Always challenge the entire core cylinder. Target the front with sit-ups, sides and obliques with rotational exercises like wood chops, Russian twists and bicycles, and the back with back extensions and reverse hypers. Then increase your isometric strength by doing planks, V-sits and supermans. Arms: Along with your back, arms help push off with poles while stabilizing your shoulder joints. Be sure to work your biceps, triceps and shoulders along with the rest of your body. You can work these in isolation or in compound movements like a squat and press, front step lunge and curl or staggered lunges with triceps kickback. These exercises will all work your “ski muscles,” and will target and strengthen your endurance, stability and overall fitness. Don’t forget to get plenty of stretching in as well — being flexible is another way to keep your body safe from injury. This year, make it a point to get in the best shape you can for skiing, starting as soon as you can. Building strength, as well as endurance, will keep your body strong and help you avoid injuries while making your skiing much more fluid and effortless. To see how to do these exercises, just search for their name on the Internet, or ask your personal trainer to teach you how.

Health & Fitness: Strength Training for Skiers
Most of the avid skiers I know do a great job keeping their aerobic endurance strong by traditional methods such as running or biking. However, many of them tend to leave out the strength training, which is necessary to build muscle strength and endurance, and it is also a built-in injury preventer. Without strength training, you are not building the muscles around your joints, such as knees and shoulders, and more times than not, I find myself first having an opportunity to train a skier when they are rehabbing a knee or shoulder after it has been injured. So, why do skiers — even really good skiers — avoid strength training? My theory is that these skiers have been skiing since they were kids and probably did not do a strength training program then. Many are very outdoorsy kind of people and are not traditionally fond of hitting the gym. And some just have no idea what exercises to do. In my experience, training skiers who are gifted on the snow, the first time you have them do a squat or a side lateral lunge, they feel awkward and typically struggle to get the move down. However, once they have the basics down

Power Authority and New York State Energy Research and Development Authority that provides school districts in the state access to tools and expertise needed to help bring solar energy to their facilities in an effort to achieve the goal of reducing overall energy costs. Locally, the Ellicottville Central School District is taking advantage of the nocost and no-obligation offer by NYPA and NYSERDA as they analyze whether or not K-Solar is a good fit for their facilities, something that should please taxpayers who look to the elected board of education members and appointed school district administrators to constantly look at ways to further reduce energy costs and save money. As part of the K-Solar program, NYPA’s free energy advisor service provides interested school districts various features, including: * Estimated reports on potential savings for all future energy bills * Detailed explanations on how public schools can become eligible to receive federal tax credits that will lower the overall cost of a solar installation project * Specific language on how school districts can work with the New York State Education Department to streamline the permit process to install solar panels * Creating what would be known as a “purchasing coalition” of school systems throughout the state, providing each participating district with the benefit of volume pricing. District officials in Ellicottville are analyzing the possibility of increasing the use of renewable energy at their schools in an effort to protect the environment while also modernizing their
electrical grid. “We saw this opportunity so I immediately followed up on it, because I view it as a chance to benefit, a potential way to save money and have a long-term impact that could result in saving energy and money year after year,” said Ellicottville Central School District Superintendent Mark Ward. “Solar energy represents an opportunity to save some money for our taxpayers so we plan to continue to explore all of our options.” While Ellicottville is still studying the project, NYPA officials remain hopeful the eventual installation of solar panels that would be owned, operated and maintained by a solar developer would lead to solar energy being produced for the school at a contracted price. “As part of the K-Solar program, the New York Power Authority is offering a nocost, no obligation energy assessment to all New York school districts to help them determine if solar energy is a suitable and cost-effective way to meet their energy needs,” said Connie Cullen, a spokesperson for the New York Power Authority. “The
only costs to the schools, if they decide to participate in the program, will be for the clean electricity generated by the installed solar panels.” There is no limit to the amount of installations a school district can have on the various buildings they operate as long as each structure meets the specific criteria. “Solar power is a clean energy source that is good for the environment because it reduces emissions for cleaner air,” said Cullen. The concept of increasing the use of renewable energy within the district’s school buildings to help protect the environment and bring the school system’s electrical grid up to speed with today’s modernized technology is something that has Ward thinking the use of solar energy may be a realistic and affordable option for ECS. “We’re excited because with our new gym and multipurpose room we will be using more energy, so if we can look into trying to save money and reduce the amount of energy we will be using, we believe that is something that the community would like to see us explore,” said Ward.

Long-Time Volunteer Shares GV Fire Company History Two Generations of Ward Family Dedicated to Service
by Mary Fox
The speaker for the evening at the Ellicottville Historical Society meeting on Oct. 8, 2014, was Mark Ward, currently superintendent of Ellicottville Central School. Ward shared his knowledge and experience as he spoke about the history of the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Company. Mark’s father, Joe Ward, was a charter member of the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Department, formed in 1948. Mark followed in his father’s footsteps. As a member of the fire department since 1970, he served for 15 years as one of 10 different chiefs in the department’s 66-year history. Today, he continues his duties as line officer serving as an assistant chief. Mark has written a history of the fire company, which he shared with the group. “I grew up with it (the fire company),” said Ward “It will always be a part of my life. Thank God I took the time to sit down with my father and note it.” The fire company was formed at a meeting in the old town hall, across from the Baptist church on Route 219 in Great Valley, where local citizens had gathered to discuss forming a lighting district. The speaker did not show up and the discussion turned to forming a fire company. Previously, Great Valley had to rely on Ellicottville and Salamanca for fire fighting Seventy-six men signed up originally. Hanford Cooper and Harold Lounsbury are the only two charter members still living. The original fire company started out with 600 feet of 1 ½” hose, a portable pump and a trailer, all stored in Bob Taylor’s barn behind the Evergreen Tea Room on the corner of Routes 219 and 98. The first hose cart purchased is now on display in the fire hall. The fire company was formed in June 1948 and in October responded to its first fire at Chase’s Mill, across from the Mill Pond on Route 98. The mill had been closed for years and the wooden structure burnt readily. Debris from the fire started the Town Hall on Fire. A young boy, Jimmy Chase, lost his life in the fire. In 1949, Charlie Zinc sold two lots next to the old Great Valley
School. A 40’ by 40’ concrete building was built on the property to house the department’s first fire truck, a 1923 open cab American LaFrance Pumper purchased from the Houghton Fire Co. The department’s first new truck was purchased in 1952, but the GMC/GPM 500 Young Pumper only held 500 gallons of water, which was hardly adequate for fighting a fire. Luckily, water was usually available from creeks. Fundraising has always been a part of keeping a volunteer fire company going. Great Valley did all the usual fundraising projects, such as white elephant sales, but their greatest fundraiser in the early days of the company was Bingo. In fact, it got so big it had to be moved from the fire hall to Hartman’s garage in Salamanca. In 1956, the state passed a law prohibiting Bingo, as it was run by the fire companies, so the department continued for a time calling it “Dingo.” Ellicottville Old Home Days was also a cause for celebration. Mark’s father noted that on one occasion 50 men marched for Great Valley in the annual celebration … quite a feat! The original uniforms were grey pants with a black stripe and white shirts. In 1968, Great Valley celebrated its 150th birthday with a carnival, marking the start of the Great Valley Old Home Days. Bands came from all around for the parade. Old Home Days was celebrated until the late 1980s. Started in 1975, the Great Valley Regatta is the fire company’s biggest fundraiser. The regatta was an offshoot of the original Birdwalk Regatta, which took place from the Birdwalk Restaurant on Route 242. Next year will be the 40th year for the regatta. “It has been a tremendous moneymaker,” said Ward. “It has changed dramatically over the years to what it is today, but we adjusted with the times. It is now limited to 2,000 boats with over 3,000 people, a huge thing for us.” In 1977, a rescue squad was formed in conjunction with the Ellicottville Ambulance, and in 1988, an ambulance was moved to Great Valley, which led to the formation of the Ellicottville/Great Valley Ambulance Service. The fire companies have an agreement to man the ambulances, but the service is a separate corporation
from the fire companies. During the early 1990s, a 40’ x 54’ addition was added to the fire hall to house more trucks. Facilities continued to be improved until the fire hall burned on March 26, 1995. “Without a doubt, this is the most devastating fire to ever strike the Great Valley community,” said Ward. “ All area fire companies responded to the fire, but the fire had moved too quickly to stop. Several fire companies loaned equipment until Great Valley could replace the trucks. “Six months to the day after the hall burned, we dedicated a new fire hall with two new pumpers, a tanker and mini-pumper!” said Ward. “Thanks to the foresight of the commissioners, months before, insurance had been updated to replacement cost and the insurance money paid for the entire loss.” More land has been acquired since. The old Great Valley school was purchased with the intention of restoring it to its former condition but was beyond restoration. The land where the post office stands was also acquired and is rented to the U.S. Postal Service. What a difference 66 years make! Today, the Great Valley Fire Company owns some of the most up-to-date fire equipment, with highly trained firefighting men and women, full ambulance services and seven certified scuba divers. Great Valley can be proud of their fire company, which has persevered throughout its history to provide the kind of services the public expects and needs. Today there are 51 dedicated members. More men and women are encouraged to join.
