to observe wildlife either passing through or preparing for winter, said Mark Kandel, regional wildlife manager for the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation. Many migrating species of birds are especially prevalent this time of year, Kandel said. Migratory Canada geese, mallard, wood and black ducks and even swans are heading south from Ontario, and there’s a good chance of seeing them at almost any time of day. The large numbers of resident Canada geese also are active this time of year, spending lots of time moving between their nighttime roosting areas near water to their daytime feeding areas. Turkeys are on the move in the fall and are busy “flocking up” for the winter. This is also a good time to listen for Barred, Screech and Saw-whet owls who make their presence known with their distinctive sounds. Kandel said that dusk is the best time to see mammals, and some of the best places to see them (as well as many of the birds mentioned above) are near chopped corn or hay fields — favorite feeding spots for hundreds of critters. Deer, of course, are plentiful in the region and spend a lot of their time feeding in agricultural fields. Red and gray fox also frequent the field in search of mice and other small mammals, as do coyotes. Many other mammals make their homes in the acres and acres of forests in the region. Black bears will be busy feeding until food becomes scarce. Kandel said that this year there has been See Wildlife Observation page 7
Cemetery Dedication Ceremony Nov. 14
Jefferson Street Cemetery Named to National Register of Historic Places By Alicia Dziak
Three years ago, Gail Carucci, a summertime resident of Ellicottville, attended an Ellicottville Historical Society meeting. During the meeting, it was announced that work on the Bryant Hill
Cemetery had been completed, and next, the town was hoping to tackle the Jefferson Street Cemetery. Carucci was immediately interested in helping with the project and the rest is history. “Mary Elizabeth Dunbar, our town historian, provided me a list of those that were buried there, according to a 1957 walk through by the DAR,” said Carucci. “I took pictures of all the headstones and monuments, and began researching.” The first goal of the committee was to get the cemetery listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “The application was a very involved process and required a lot of research,” Carucci explained. “We needed to show how and when the property became a cemetery, but because the records were destroyed in a fire, we didn’t See Jefferson Street Cemetery page 7
Charity Event: Guinness World Record Attempt ‘Most People Doing a Headstand Simultaneously in One Place’ They’ve become a local sensation and everyone is doing them! Doing what? Headstands, that is, and on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013, at 12 p.m., Headstands for Humanity
& Holiday Valley Resort invite you, your family, friends, schools and groups to take part in a unique charitable event to break the Guinness World Record for “Most People Doing a Headstand Simultaneously in One Place.” The current World Record is 265 people, set in Germany in 2008, and with your involvement and some practice, the group said they think they can shatter the old record. The event is to be held at Holiday Valley in Ellicottville, N.Y., and will be recorded by an aerial photo shoot arranged by Patty Watson, who recently organized human tree- and heartshaped photos in the area. “I love kids and want to help them find opportunities that we didn’t have ourselves,” said Mike Paterniti, organizer of Headstands for Mike Paterniti and Patty Watson met on Tuesday at Katy’s Cafe in Ellicottville to discuss Humanity. photo shoot details.

EVL Town Board
Fall Festival Police Issues, Ongoing Projects Reviewed By Jann Wiswall
Joany and Phil Bund attended the Oct. 16, 2013, meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board and reported that their dog was recently hit and killed by a car on Horn Hill Road. They asked for the board’s help getting approval for a 45 mph speed limit there. The road currently is not posted, which means
the speed limit is 55 mph. The Bunds and a number of other neighbors signed a petition requesting the reduced speed limit. Highway Superintendent Dave Golley explained that the request has to go to the county and the State for approval, that a traffic study on the road would have to be conducted and that
the process can be lengthy. The board, however, agreed to get the process started. Supervisor’s Report: Town Supervisor John Burrell reported that the parking lot at the Town Center has been repaved and striped. He said, “It’s the nicest parking lot in Ellicottville See Town Board page 5
External Audit, Committee Reports Reviewed at ECS Board Meeting By Jann Wiswall
The Ellicottville Central School District’s Board is making progress on a number of fronts as the school year gets into full swing. At its meeting on Oct. 15, 2013, the board reviewed the external audit report for the 2012-2013 school year that was prepared by consultants R.A. Mercer. Mercer, which did the
district’s audit for the first time this year, said the process went well and that it was giving the system an “unmodified clean opinion.” While there were some recommendations and footnotes attached to the report, Mercer said that overall the district is in good shape and in good hands with District Treasurer Amy Kilby, who took on the position last winter.
Superintendent’s Report District Superintendent Mark Ward reported that new language related to the APPR plan has been drafted for the teachers’ union contract to ensure it aligns with the approved state plan. The board is reviewing that language and will vote on adopting it at a future meeting. See ECS School Board page 5
Catholic Health Offers Free Dinner Program to Help Women Improve Cardiac Health By Jann Wiswall
Did you know heart disease is the number one health risk among women? And did you know that heart attack symptoms often differ between men and women? According to Dr. Thomas P. Smith, cardiologist with Catholic Health and the
Bertrand Chaffee Hospital’s Heart Center, researchers and physicians over the past decade have been focusing on how heart disease presents itself differently in men and women. While both men and women may experience crushing pain in their chests, women often have much more subtle
symptoms. For example, some women experience unusual shortness of breath or extreme perspiration a few days or even weeks before having a heart attack. Others have irregular back or jaw pain. Stomach flu-like symptoms often are See Cathoilc Health Dinner page 9

Calling All Singers! Community Christmas Cantata Rehearsals to Begin On Sunday, October 27, at 1:00 p.m. rehearsals for the Community Christmas Cantata will begin. The choir will meet at the United Church on 53 Elizabeth Street in Ellicottville, for seven Sundays leading up to the concert which will be at 3:00 on Dec. 15th, 2013. All 90- minute sessions will begin at 1:00 except Dec. 8th, which will be at 7:00 p.m. It is the hope of the director, Annette Ieda, that each choir member will be able to attend at least 6 of the 7 rehearsals. Practice CDs and scores will be available for singers to take home. This year’s Cantata is a newly written work by Lloyd Larson,
“Behold the Star.” Mrs. Ieda stated that “Although much of the music is newly composed, there are still several well known and beautifully orchestrated Christmas Songs included. There are also some opportunities during the Cantata for the audience to
join in!” (A very large choir!) Mrs. Ieda is thrilled that the St. Paul’s Dulcimers will be participating again. The Dec. 15th performance location will either be at the United Church or St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, depending on how many people are in the choir. So, if you love to sing, please come and join us. Spread the word, spread the joy! It’s time to prepare for Christmas! Sing! Sing! Sing! Please call Annette Ieda 716-699-6338 for further information. Other than that, just SHOW UP! We need YOU!

SBU’s Quick Center Hosts Classical Guitarist Galbraith ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Internationally acclaimed guitarist Paul Galbraith will perform in recital at St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, in the second concert of the new Friends of Good Music season. The program will include works by Isaac Albeniz, Enrique Granados, Franz Josef Haydn and Manuel Ponce. Galbraith’s unique playing position was first revealed at the Edinburgh Festival in 1989. His guitar is supported by a metal endpin, similar to that of a cello, which rests on a wooden resonance box. The instrument has two extra strings, one high, one low. Both the guitar’s extraordinary design and Galbraith’s playing are considered groundbreaking developments in the history of the instrument, increasing its range to an unprecedented extent. Born in Scotland, Galbraith won the silver medal at the Segovia International Guitar Competition at the age of 17. The award helped launch an international career including engagements with some of the finest orchestras around the world including performances in many cities across the U.S. and many countries abroad. Galbraith has been featured twice on National Public Radio’s “All Things
Considered� and numerous times on “Performance Today.� His recording of the complete Bach violin sonatas and partitas was nominated for a Grammy award in the category of Best Solo Instrumental Album. It reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s classical charts. Subscription tickets for the remaining Friends of Good Music season are still available. A basic subscription is $99 ($81 for senior citizens) and includes one ticket to each of six concerts. Extended subscriptions, including a seventh concert, are $109 ($89 for seniors). Tickets for single performances are $20 at full
price, $16 for senior citizens and SBU staff, and $5 for students. For subscriptions, single tickets and information, call The Quick Center at (716) 375-2494. For each Friends of Good Music performance, The Quick Center will open its galleries one hour before the performance and keep them open throughout the intermission. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon– 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Museum admission is free and open to the public year round. For more information, visit www.sbu.edu/quickcenter.
Artist Ellen Steinfeld Exhibition at SBU ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Sculptor and painter Ellen Steinfeld’s work is on exhibition at St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts until Dec. 1. Her exhibit, “Explorations,� features various pieces from her advanced repertoire of imagery and techniques, including abstracted, painted “plates,� sculpture and handmade paper pieces. Steinfeld has had a long presence in Western New York, and through exhibitions, public installations and commissions, has become known throughout North America. She has
received numerous large-scale public and private commissions including a monumental 18foot steel sculpture for the atrium of Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo and a commission to design 16 large stained glass windows for Christ Church in Detroit. Sculpture installations in public spaces, such as the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, have greeted thousands of residents and travelers. Selected by Absolut Vodka to represent New York state, she produced a design that reached a global market through prominent publications

Works in various media have been selected and incorporated into public spaces including schools, hotels, hospitals, museums, airports, stadiums and corporate collections. Steinfeld’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in more than 26 solo exhibitions and included in more than 90 group exhibitions in the United States and Canada. Her works are in many permanent collections across the country. She has won many national awards as well as fellowships from New York state’s Community Arts Partnership and the New York State Council on the Arts. She has been a visiting artist, lecturer and teacher at several universities, and is the subject of two documentary films. Quick Center galleries are open year round and are free of charge. Hours are 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from noon–4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. For more information, go to www. sbu.edu/quickcenter.
at Rochester Institute of Technology, where she was finishing her master’s degree. Driving home one afternoon, in full panic because the class was abstract-based, she saw a group of cows gathered at a fence. She saw their spots and was instantly transfixed. Their hides, she realized, were abstract images. She began painting the spots — painting after painting after painting. She never revealed the source of her inspiration, not even to her instructor, until after the class was finished. That was years ago. After graduation, Clark taught art at Cattaraugus/Little Valley High School, a position she held for 33 years until her recent
retirement. During her off time, Clark painted. And painted. Now she has amassed an impressive gallery, Brookside Studio Watercolors, 8363, Otto-Maples Rd. in Little Valley. It’s an Amish-built shed with hardwood floors and a second floor workshop. There’s a patio where she often sits and watches the world pass by quietly. The shed was once located on a former property, but Clark moved it to its present location. And by moving it, thus giving her an experience of looking at different geography through the same windows, she’s illustrated what good artists do best: they look at the world differently through the same eyes. There is no fixed subject Clark paints exclusively. There are portraits, landscapes, architecture. In one piece, Clark narrowed her eyes and her brush on tree limbs and trunk, creating what she called “a moody� piece.� In another, she depicted the vibrancy of autumn colors. “Sometimes the autumn colors in this area just blinds you, and that’s what I was trying to do,� she said. As a realist painter, Clark incorporates only three colors: cadmium red, cadmium yellow and Prussian blue. Depending
on the subject, sometimes she uses a single color, or she combines the colors to create other colors. Clark paints on commission and independently. Some of her more favorite works are portraits — of families, of dogs. There is not one specific subject she likes to paint more or less. Clark’s studio is one of three that will offer an open house soon. Part of the East Otto Artist Series, which is held the first weekend of November each year, Clark will be present to show the public her working studio and paintings on Nov. 2 and 3 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. “We’ve been offering the open house event for over 20 years,� she said. “A lot of people come, and they’re glad they did because it gives them a chance to see the studio itself. It really gives the person a good idea of what it’s like to create.� Clark is accustomed to the shows. She’s had several solo and group exhibitions. In addition, her work has been featured in Country Woman magazine, The Buffalo News and Focus. She’s won several awards and her work has been featured in many private collections throughout the world.

Looking for Volunteers We are looking for Headstand Stewards in your area to take the lead as organizer(s), to build the excitement and recruit! There will be a $10 minimum participant donation, everyone is encouraged to hold their own individual or team pledge drive, where parties may collect unlimited pledges of $1, $5, $10 or more. There will be a top prize for the individual and team who raises the most money! Visit our website to pre-register and to access our Pledge Sheet/ Flyer available for print at www.headstandsforhumanity. com. Form your team, give it a name and start your pledge drive today! The Rules Participants must be in deemed in good physical health (check with your doctor). You are strongly encouraged to practice and to be able to hold a “good form� headstand for 30 seconds. Guinness World Record guidelines are: 1. A headstand only counts if the head is on the ground with the legs raised vertically above them in a straight line
with the body, and either the hands or forearms flat on the ground, or the hands straight at the sides of the body. 2. Legs must be straight and together. 3. If a participant ceases to be in the headstand position at any point during the designated time period, they will be disqualified. For the purposes of this record, “simultaneous� means that all the participants must headstand within five seconds of a signal being given. Only those who achieve this within this five-second window may be counted, all others do not count towards the final total. 4. Participants must simultaneously headstand, holding for a minimum of 15 seconds. Any performers who do not participate fully for the entire time must be deducted from the final total. There is NO age limit. A how-to practice tutorial video is available at www. headstandsforhumanity.com/ videos. Organizers are asking people not to sign up for this event if they have not already practiced and have proven to themselves that they can hold a 30-second headstand! To get inspired, check out
the Headstands for Humanity Facebook page and you may recognize some very familiar faces doing headstands in some very interesting places — over 127 of them. Go ahead and send them yours today.

thanks to the hard work of Dave Golley and his team.” Burrell also said that the 2014 budget process is well under way. The board has already met to work through it and has several more meetings scheduled. Burrell suggested the board set a date for a public hearing on the budget. It was set for Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 5 p.m. If there are no objections from the public, the board will be able to move to approve it at its next regularly scheduled meeting on Nov. 20. Burrell also reported that at the Cattaraugus County Supervisors meeting on Oct. 3, the group discussed the possibility of reducing the number of justice courts in the county. Each municipality has its own justice court and many run at a deficit. Burrell and others feel that consolidating justice courts would be more cost effective and efficient. Golley asked the board to pass a blanket resolution to “piggyback on other municipalities’bids” to simplify the purchasing process. If two municipalities need the same plow, for example, and one has already gone through the bidding process, the other can purchase the plow from the same vendor at the same price without repeating the bid process. The board thought this was a good idea and approved the resolution. Engineer’s Report: Mark Alianello, town engineer, said that an agreement between the town and a landowner for conveyance of an easement needed for the East Tank
project is being drafted by Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty. Alianello asked the board to authorize him and Moriarty to finalize the easement paperwork and to allow him to move forward with a topographic study and soil borings as soon as they are completed. The board agreed. Fall Festival: Town Police Chief Don Auge was unable to attend Wednesday’s meeting, so Officer Amber Justice reported on Fall Festival on his behalf. Justice provided data on citations issued by town officers and the County Sheriff’s Office (reports from the Village and State Police were not yet available). The Sheriff’s Office issued 31 open container citations, one disorderly conduct citation, one obstruction of governmental administration citation, one public urination citation and one appearance ticket for unlawful possession of marijuana. Town of Ellicottville police issued 29 open container citations, one appearance ticket for unlawful possession of marijuana, one public urination citation and six parking tickets. Town officers also handled nine motor vehicle accidents. Justice noted that Auge felt the tour buses that brought in college students from around the area caused the most problems for police. One issue was that students were arriving at the festival already under the influence of alcohol and exiting the buses with drinks in hand. Another issue was that bus drivers w e r e

avoiding police. And finally, buses were dropping people off at unauthorized locations. Justice said that Auge had contacted most of the colleges and universities in advance to inform them about Ellicottville’s policies. Several board members thought solutions to this problem could be found, whether that means banning buses altogether or finding other solutions. There also were reports of strangers found sleeping in homes, businesses and yards without permission or the owner’s knowledge. In general, the board felt that, from the town’s perspective, the festival went better this year as a result of the increased police presence. New Business: Burrell asked the board to ratify Jack Rogan’s appointment to the board of the Ellicottville Joint Fire Commission. The board approved the motion. Old Business: Board Member Ken Hinman reported that the Ellicottville–Great Valley Trail Committee’s booth at Fall Festival was well received and several donations were made. He also reported that the trail committee hopes to have enough volunteer and in-kind support to be able to rough-in the trail between the Town Center and Tim Horton’s beginning as soon as next spring, assuming all approvals are in place. At the end of the meeting, Burrell said that he had been talking with the County Department of Aging about bringing meal and nutrition services back to the Town Center for area seniors. A stumbling block seems to be proof of interest in the program. Interested seniors or friends of seniors should contact Burrell directly to express their support. The next meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board will be held on Nov. 20 at 6 p.m. in the Village/Town Hall.

A Ray of Nature’s Sunshine Natural Health Education Seminar Nov. 2 at Holiday Valley
by Sue Whistler
The days are getting shorter, the fall foliage is past its peak and with nighttime temperatures dipping into the 30s, it’s time to face the fact that summer, even the Indian kind, is pretty much over. This is great news if you’re a snowsports enthusiast. For everyone else, it means the onset of the flu season, some bad eating habits and a general malaise due to the perpetual darkness and a lack of mood lifting outdoor fun and exercise. Don’t despair. There’s a ray of sunshine in those concrete November skies and it’s about to shed some healthful light on Ellicottville. Plan to be at the Holiday Valley Lodge at Holiday Valley on Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013, from 9–5 p.m., when Nature’s Sunshine Products and Ellicottville’s own Nature’s Remedy Wellness Center present NSP’s Natural Health Education Series 2013. Here is your opportunity
to learn how to improve your health and general outlook on life naturally. This oneday event will feature short, natural health seminars on a wide range of topics including herbal first aid, weight loss, flower essences and emotional health, essential oils, children’s health and colon cleansing. Don’t expect to just sit there with your hands in your lap and listen. NSP’s Natural Health Education Series uses a hands-on approach to teaching. You’ll be able to touch smell, taste and practice what you’re learning. The instructor for this series is Julie Devisser, a Naturopath from Colorado, who has been speaking and encouraging audiences around the U.S. for over 20 years. Devisser is one of those special people with a real passion for life and a talent for motivating others to grow and improve themselves by embracing life to its fullest. She believes that our bodies are a precious gift that must
be properly cared for and maintained. She teaches that “we are responsible for our own bodies, our own minds, our own paths.” Gretchen Mendell and the gracious green goddesses from Nature’s Remedy, along with Julie Devisser and Nature’s Sunshine Products, are hoping you will join them for a day packed full of life changing information to help launch and guide you on your journey to better health. They want to remind each of us that today is the first day of the rest of our lives and not to waste a single one. For more information and to register, call Nature’s Remedy at (716) 699-HERB (4372) or you can email them at naturesremedy@verizon.net.
ECS School Board Continued from Front Page
Ward also reported that the school has obtained pricing for new fencing that will be place around the garbage dumpsters and around the elementary school playground to prevent cars from driving onto school fields. He also said the school is looking to find ways to replace or eliminate a laminating machine, fund a new color copier and upgrade library software. A meeting of the entire school staff, State Police, the County Sheriff’s Office and the Town of Ellicottville Police was held on Oct. 11 to discuss recommendations from law enforcement on how to continually improve and enhance student safety. Among other actions, 14 staff members were trained to drive school buses in case a school evacuation is required when bus drivers are not on the premises.
Committee Reports The board’s Capital Project Committee Chair, Carl Calarco, briefed the board on the final stages of preparing plans for the renovations to be sent on Nov. 1 to the New York State Education Department for review. The review process is expected to take until April or early May. Steve Crowley, the board’s Audit Committee chair, reported that the committee met with R.A. Mercer on Oct. 9 to review the audit report that was presented to the full board that evening. Calarco, who also serves as chair of the board’s Building and Grounds Committee, said the committee reviewed the status of all school buses and will likely recommend decommissioning one bus next year and replacing it with a new one. He noted that the school is always in a regular rotation
with buses. The committee also discussed phasing out usage of a 2001 truck and replacing it with a plow for the school’s tractor. In addition, the committee is awaiting proposals from appraisal firms to assess the value of some of the school’s land and timber. Principals Reports Both Elementary School Principal Connie Poulin and Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller said the school year is off to a great start. The APPR is dominating a lot of teachers’ time, but with a year under their belts, Miller observed that the process seems a bit less stressful this year. School clubs, sports, field trips and activities all are going well and according to plan. The next meeting of the ECS Board of Education will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 5, at 7:30 p.m. in the High School Library.

The October meeting of the Great Valley Town Board took place on Monday, Oct. 14, 2013. The meeting was opened at 7 p.m. by Town Supervisor Dan Brown with the Pledge of Allegiance. The first order of business was a discussion with Town Assessor Jeff Forester regarding the use of communication equipment in making information more readily accessible. He also reported changes to the New York State Basic STAR school tax exemption, which is based on a percentage of property taxes.

Connections: BY JEFF MARTIN
INCIDENTAL SHOPPING
The following column is called Incidental Shopping. It is a collection of odds and ends collected during the past few months of writing this column. Consider it a quick trip to the local convenience store for a carton of eggs, a half gallon of 2 percent milk. In other words, a trip that means so little while meaning so much. I’m utterly convinced that most residents of Western New York don’t fully appreciate the autumn splendor surrounding them. Case in point: I’m driving down Route 353 with a family of four and, to our left, is a collection of what has to be the most brilliant hillside of reds and oranges I’ve ever seen. Veering into oncoming traff ic, I watch the trees pass. It’s like driving through heaven. “Look at that,” I say, and everyone looks and nods their heads. That’s the extent of their interest. My advice to anyone who wants to appreciate this area in autumn: Drive to Ohio at this time of year. The forests and woods are the color of a Cleveland sidewalk. I have a saying I try to live by: Live every moment as if you were once dead for 40 years having suddenly discovered you are alive again. Back in early spring, I wrote a column about caves, or more specif ically about hidden caves in the Western New York area that few people know about. I called the state’s parks department and inquired about this subject, but I never heard back. Just recently, I received a message from a spokesperson who said they would like to talk to me at some point. Turns out, I wasn’t as crazy as I thought. “There are some cave systems in the area that people don’t know about,” the woman said. “I’d like to talk to you about them when you have the chance.” I think maybe I missed the boat on this one for the year, so I’ve made a promise to myself (and to you, readers): First sig n of spring, I’ll g ive you a column about caves. Dawn W. emailed me a couple of weeks ago after I wrote the column about books I had read and books about the local area I wish very much to f ind and read. Dawn suggested that I read “City of Light” by Lauren Belfer and “Consider the Sparrow” by Bessie Mathias, a local woman who g rew up in the area. Both works can be found at the Ellicottville Library. Thanks, Dawn. Me and the g irlfriend traveled down to the Ellicottville’s Fall Festival this past weekend. I thought surely the traff ic wouldn’t be too bad at 10:30 a.m. I’ve never been so wrong in my life. I’m not complaining, okay, but I think all traff ic needs to be redirected three miles from town. On a brighter note, we took the chairlift and let our eyes drink in the hillside. What a marvelous, mystical view. I’ve never visited a place where just a simple view is worth the trip there. Hey, how about this weather! I’d like to think that by my moving here from a more temperate location had something to do with it, but I could be wrong. After all, I moved to Kansas City and the professional sports teams there took nosedives to a whole new level. A year after I left, the Kansas City Chiefs are undefeated and the Royals baseball team is a contender. I never know who to apolog ize to anymore.

Challenger Learning Center Receives Grant to Fund ‘Micronauts’ Missions
Allegany, NY — The Dresser-Rand Challenger Learning Center recently received a $7,000 grant from the F.T. and Anna C. Manley Memorial Fund. The money will provide for the purchase of the new Micronauts Mini Discovery Mission program and equipment as well as staff training. The simulated Micronauts Mini Discovery Mission, which meets math and science standards for students in kindergarten through fourth grade, takes place aboard the International Space Station where young scientists, engineers and mathematicians are engaged in a variety of hands-on experiments as they travel 230 miles above the Earth’s surface. Beginning with team building and group-oriented problem solving activities, the Micronauts program explores scientific concepts like mass, weight, planetary movement
and microorganisms, teaching teamwork and leadership skills, while encouraging students to explore science topics through inquiry. “We are very grateful to the F.T. and Anna C. Manley Memorial Fund for providing the funding to allow young students from our community to attend these exciting new Micronauts Mini Discovery Missions,� said Challenger Learning Center Executive Director Fred Welch. “Because of their generosity, we are able to introduce students to hands-on science using the technology of the center’s simulator, while engineering a collaborative solution, using math throughout — and STEM education — in an environment that will not only educate them, but also inspire them.� Challenger Learning Center Chairman Stu Smith added, “I am excited to have the Micronauts program added to our center’s capabilities so we’ll be able to reach out and
influence grade school students for the first time. The chance to expose young students to ideas in astronomy, geology, math and teamwork is terrific.� Schools interested in applying for these funds should contact Fred Welch either by email (Fred@DRCLC. org) or by calling the center at (716) 379-8686 for more information.

a bumper crop of apples and acorns, so they’re likely to delay hibernation until late November or early December. Bobcats and fishers (a weasel-like creature that is making a comeback in the region) can be seen on occasion, and beavers and mink — and their handiwork — can be seen along streams, also most often at dusk. Kandel suggests that you’re more likely to see wildlife on a drive along country roads than on a hike — your presence will disturb them more in person than in a car — but in either case, he suggests bringing a camera, binoculars and some field guides and head out an hour or two before dark for the best viewing odds. And above all, bring patience. Most animals are reclusive and afraid of humans, so they’ll avoid you whenever possible. Sitting still in one place for a while increases your odds of spotting something interesting. Kandel also advises caution while driving. “Dusk may be the best time to see wildlife,� he said, “but it’s also the most hazardous time to be driving.�

The best way to avoid a collision with an animal is to slow down and stay in your lane. More accidents occur because cars have swerved into the animal or an oncoming car. Above all, he said, maintain control and attend to your personal safety. Where to Go? There are myriad places to go to observe and photograph wildlife in and around Ellicottville. Allegany State Park (ASP), the state’s largest park with 65,000 acres, is a great place to start if you’re interested in learning about the full range of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects that are native to the area on guided nature trails. There are also some
97,000 acres of state forests in Cattaraugus County for exploring at your leisure. In Ellicottville and surrounding towns and villages, you can easily access Bryant Hill State Forest, Cattaraugus State Forest, Dobbins State Forest, East Otto State Forest, and Rock City and McCarty Hill State Forest. For information, visit www.dec.ny.gov/ lands/40672.html. The extensive hiking and biking trails at Holiday Valley and HoliMont are perfect for wildlife watching, too. And, you won’t want to miss Ellicottville’s Nannen Arboretum, where many species of wildlife flourish among the carefully maintained flora.

“Night Film: by Marisha Pessl
A page-turning thriller for readers of Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, and Stieg Larsson, Nigh Night Film tells the haunting story of a journalist who becomes obsessed with the mys mysterious death of a troubled prodigy—the daughter of an iconic, reclusive filmmaker. On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an aba abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran inv investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circ circumstances surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive cult-horror-film director Stanislas Co Cordova—a man who hasn’t been seen in public for more than thirty years. For McGrath, another death connected to this seemingly cursed family dynasty see more than just a coincidence. Though much has been written about Cordova’s seems da and unsettling films, very little is known about the man himself. dark Driven by revenge, curiosity, and a need for the truth, McGrath, with the aid of two strangers, is drawn deeper and deeper into Cordova’s eerie, hypnotic world. The last time he got close to exposing the director, McGrath lost his marriage and his career. This time he might lose even more. Night Film, the gorgeously written, spellbinding new novel by the dazzlingly inventive Marisha Pessl, will hold you in suspense until you turn the final page. This book can be borrowed from the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book and eBook formats.

have any of the information we needed.� Without records in hand, the committee was eventually able to submit the application. They had to wait almost a year and finally received approval in January of 2012. “We found out there were plaques available, but they cost almost $1,000, and we didn’t have the money to get one,� she said. While waiting for the approval, work began on restoring the cemetery. In summer 2011, Crandall’s Memorials of Olean came out to the cemetery to give volunteers a demonstration on how to gently clean the headstones. “We had about 30 volunteers helping out that summer, and together, we cleaned over 400 headstones in the cemetery,� Carucci explained. Although the cemetery was looking much better, the volunteers still noticed that many stones were broken and in various states of disrepair. For the past three years, the Town of Ellicottville has provided funds to have Crandall’s Memorials do some deeper cleaning and repairs on all but 43 headstones. Crandall’s will return next year to finish this project.
Carucci said, “We immediately noticed how much brighter the cemetery was.� In addition, Ken Hinman, a Ellicottville town board member, volunteered his time to repair the stone wall on the property. Good news came this summer, when Carucci found out about the William G. Pomeroy Foundation. They established a grant program in 2013 to fund plaques or a sign to designate when a property is placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The application was completed, submitted and Carucci was thrilled to learn the Jefferson Street Cemetery was the very first historic place approved by this new grant program to receive monies toward a plaque and pole. To celebrate the success of the project so far, and the receipt of the new status and plaque, an unveiling ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 14 at 1:30 p.m. The event will be held at the cemetery, followed by a reception at the Town Center. “We hope the community will come out to celebrate with us,� Carucci said. Meanwhile, Carucci continues doing extensive research trying to find
descendents. “When I do find them, those are my aha moments!� she said, describing that mission as a main goal of the project. “Everyone has a story and I would like to preserve them!� Other goals of the committee are to purchase a monument for those without headstones and a sign for the cemetery. To raise money for the project, Finnegan’s Wake was held at the Gin Mill as a fundraiser event this year. “A number of donations have come in from descendents of people who were buried in the cemetery, as well as others who are interested in our project,� she said. A Twilight Heritage Walking Tour fundraiser event is also in the works for 2014. If anyone is interested in participating in any way, please contact Gail Carucci at glcarucci@aol.com or call her at (716) 307-5510. It’s been three years in the making, but through the hard work of Carucci and many community volunteers, the Jefferson Street Cemetery restoration project is well on its way to being completed. “The way things are going, I think we’ll be able to accomplish all our goals by the end of next summer,� Carucci stated.

Rally Rolls Out More than SPCA Seeks Support to Keep $12,000 in Donations This Year Doors Open OLEAN — The final tallies from the 11th annual Rally in the Valley are in and organizers from Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce are very pleased with the outcome. With the success of the event, they will be able to gift $12,000 to local charities. LEEK Hunting Preserve, Southern Tier Military Support Group, Boy Scout 617 Olean, Olean Airport Marketing, the ReHabilitation Center, the Dempsey Club, Olean High School Girls’ Soccer Team, Southern Tier Advanced Manufacturing and Michele Krahe Peace Scholarship are all recipients of the event’s
proceeds. With this year’s donations, the Rally in the Valley has been able to give more than $204,862 to local charities. Rally in the Valley was introduced to the area by local business leaders who saw what other communities have done with similar events and wanted to bring that same type of experience to Olean. They knew the event would draw many people from outside the area and the longer they ran the event, the larger it would grow. In addition, they knew there were many bikers in this area that would love an event like this that was close to home.
Co-Chairs of the Rally, Dennis Jones, Randy Langdon, Alan Roth and Larry Penman all agreed, “This event gives all of us the opportunity to give back to the community. We’re all members of the community, and we live in the community. Motorcycles are a hobby to all of us and it’s great that we take our hobby and are able to raise funds for the community.” More than 943 participants (608 motorcycles) participated in Sunday’s Dice Run event. The 12th annual Rally in the Valley is scheduled for Aug. 20-24, 2014. For more information, call the chamber at (716) 372-4433.
Experience Night Lights at Griffis Sculpture Park
By Alicia Dziak
For eight upcoming evenings, Griffis Sculpture Park will be illuminated with colorful, theatrical lighting for Night Lights at Griffis Sculpture Park. Visitors will be able to walk some of the Mill Valley Road side of the park, where the trails and sculptures will interact with creative lighting. The lights will be installed by SitlerHQ and Volt Vision, Inc., the same crew responsible for very successful Night Lights at the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens and Night Lights at The Heron, the site of the annual Blue Heron Music Festival in Sherman. “More than just lights on trees, Night Lights at the Heron display(ed) in vibrant color the simple wonder of the patterns of leaves, the majesty of trunk and limb, and the stillness of the night forest which is all too easily taken for granted,” said Trisha Lehnen of Fredonia. “You remember in this artistic state to appreciate the natural
Springville Girls on the Run
beauty that’s always just underneath. My entire family is really looking forward to experiencing the lights at Griffis.” The show aims to give visitors a surrealistic experience of walking through the park at night and viewing the sculptures, literally, in a whole different light. The combination of colored lights, sculptures and winding trails meandering through the woods are sure to make Night Lights at Griffis Sculpture Park a memorable and magical experience. “This is going to be a very unique and exciting event for Griffis Sculpture Park,” said Damian Griffis, director of Griffis Sculpture Park. “Since we don’t have lighting for our trails, our park closes at sunset, and this will be the first time ever that we will be able to open the park to visitors at night.” Night Lights at Griffis Sculpture Park will be open Wednesday, Oct. 23 through
Saturday, Oct. 26, and also Wednesday, Oct. 30 through Saturday, Nov. 2, from 7 – 9 p.m. on weeknights and 7 – 10 p.m. on weekends. The park is located at 6902 Mill Valley Rd. in East Otto, about halfway between Ellicottville and Springville, a short distance off Route 219. Cost is $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 7–12, and free for children ages 6 and under. Since Night Lights will take place weather permitting, be sure to check www.griffispark. org or Facebook (Griffis Sculpture Park) for updates and more information.
Community Financial Support Desperately Needed
OLEAN, NY – The SPCA in Cattaraugus County has announced that the old administration has stepped aside and that a new board of directors is in place that remains committed to the no-kill mission of saving the lives of animals and providing adoption services for homeless and neglected animals. They face a financial crisis and call out to the community to help keep the doors open. The new board, with the goal of financial transparency, shared issues they have encountered in their first two months including back electric, gas and heating bills in the amount of $17,000; a mountain of debt as a result of caring for 300 cats and dogs, building upkeep, heat and light, plus salaries amounts to $20,000 a month; accumulated unpaid payroll and unemployment taxes; and an investigation of the organization by the Attorney General’s Office due to past allegations involving how money was spent. As a result of these allegations made by a group of protesters, the SPCA has experienced a severe drop in donations. “We’re not sharing these details to place blame on anyone,” said Karen Perrigo, financial and legal consultant for the SPCA in Cattaraugus County. “Blaming anyone really doesn’t make any of these issues go away, however we need the community to know what the organization is facing and how we desperately need the community’s involvement
and support in order to keep the doors open. The new board is dedicated to finding ways to pay off this debt, comply with the Attorney General’s office and continue the care of these animals, but there is no way this can be accomplished without the community getting involved with saving the shelter.” New board members include Bridget Dean, board chairman; Jerri Keis, secretary; Glenn Buckley, DVM; Matt O’Connell, one of the leaders of Bona Responds; and Karen Perrigo, independent financial and legal consultant. “We are thankful for Kelly Chaffee’s 30 years of service to the organization and we wish her the very best as she moves on to new endeavors,” said Bridget Dean, board chairman. “We are very excited to bring fresh ideas to foster positive change. The staff and volunteers have been remarkable — together we are going to accomplish amazing things!” With a new financial process in place that’s been approved by the New York State Attorney General’s Office, the organization has a system of checks and balances in place that will allow for fiduciary responsibility and greater transparency. There are many ways the community can get involved, but right now the greatest need is financial. The organization needs roughly $20,000 per month just to keep the doors open (that doesn’t include chipping away at the debt).
With close to 300 animals currently at the shelter, the need is tremendous. There are several fundraisers coming up that also allow for the community to get involved including Wine and Wags, Oct. 19 from 5–8 p.m. at The Winery of Ellicottville, 14 Monroe St. in Ellicottville. The $10 admission gets each person a wine tasting, delicious cheese from EVL Cheese Company and a tour of the winery. Tickets are available at the shelter, 2944 Route 16 in Olean or at The Winery of Ellicottville. Tickets can be purchased at the door as well. One of the most impactful ways to make a difference is by adopting a dog or cat from the shelter. There are many dogs and cats that have been spayed and neutered and vaccinated and are just waiting to find their forever home. Every weekend through the month of October, all spayed and neutered cats and kittens are available for adoption with donation. Adopters can choose the amount to donate. The SPCA in Cattaraugus County is open Tuesday– Saturday, noon–5 p.m. and Sunday 1–4 p.m. Donations of items for the shelter: kitty litter, cleaning supplies, cat and dog treats, cat and dog toys, etc. are always welcome. For more information, to donate or contribute fundraising ideas, please contact Bridget Dean by emailing BridgetDeanPR@ gmail.com or calling (540) 842-7776.

Never Sit Next to the Emergency Door As I’m writing this I’m sitting in the window seat next to the emergency exit door on a SATA International Airlines flight reading a news item in the International Herald Tribune about a guy who, while sitting in the window seat next to the emergency exit door on an Alaska Airlines flight, suddenly lunged for the door and tried to open it at 10,000 feet altitude. My question is exactly how bad do you have to pee to think the side door is a better option than those lockers they call washrooms at the back of the plane? Alexander Michael Herrera, 23, from a planet the Hubble Space Telescope has not yet discovered was arrested in Portland, Ore., when the plane made an emergency landing after taking off for Anchorage, AK. I’ve sat beside the exit door on many flights and I’ve never been tempted to open it except once when confronted with a flight attendant on an Air Canada flight from Timmins to Toronto. This surly woman with the flaming red hair was even ruder and more hostile than the Air Canada training manual calls for. Trapped between the exit door and a large man who thought deodorant was for sissies, I asked permission to move to one of the several empty rows on the plane and was ordered not once but twice by the downward-pointing index finger of Ms. Air Cannot to stay exactly where I was. So, yeah, I considered opening the exit door somewhere over Sudbury to put 20,000 feet between me and the flight warden, but then I changed my mind thinking
she would then simply board her broom and harass me all the way to the ground. Before Herrera started grappling with the exit door, he turned to the woman in the seat next to him and asked: “What would you do if I open the exit door?” The technically correct answer: “See the city of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, coming toward us really, really fast?” Amid the blaring alarm and screaming passengers, two male passengers took Herrera down and held him until a flight attendant brought shoelaces and seat belt extensions to bind him up. Yeah, where were Batman and Robin when I was being held hostage by Fright Flight Fran, between Timmins and Toronto? I don’t think I would have gone with the tie-down option on that Alaska Airlines flight. I’d have just opened the door for that gentleman. Having read the story, I put my newspaper down and stared out the window blankly wondering what exactly it would take for me to open that emergency door in midair. It would take a lot but still, every man has his price. Before I opened that door, I would definitely have to hear the calm but grave voice of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger talking to the air traffic controller saying: “We’re going down in the Hudson.” Or on a trans-Atlantic flight, the sight of the flight attendant with an “I-told-you-so” smirk on her face and a microphone in her hand saying: “Remember
how I told you that your seat also serves as a flotation device and all of you thought that was so damn funny?!? Well guess what?!?” Or a copilot roaming through the economy section asking to borrow a set of rosary beads and a St. Christopher medal. Or having the flight attendant inform me that all they have left are kosher meals after noticing the guy beside me has been reading from the Koran. Or hearing a heated conversation from the cockpit in which the pilot is yelling at his subordinate: “I know it’s a bloody boat, I asked you how long it is?!?” Or watching two copilots wrestle a drunk to the cockpit floor who happens to be the captain. I can withstand two screaming kids on a plane one in front and one behind, but you add one more right beside me and, yeah, that door’s coming off its hinges. Oh, and did you know that live in-flight concerts are the latest thing airlines are using to distract passengers from the fact they’re charging for luggage? Honest. A recent United Airlines flight from Chicago to Los Angeles featured Sheryl Crow singing a 40-minute set with an acoustic guitar. So if I ever hear the captain come on the PA and say: “Got a great surprise for you folks this evening. If I might direct your attention to the front of the plane, we have none other than Celine …” I’m out that door before she hits her first scream.

Soup Each Day Keeps Winter Weight Gains Away
Soup is a well-known nourishing tradition. When winter’s brisk winds begin, a hearty bowl can keeps us warm, well and healthy. And when feeling under the weather, chicken noodles become a common cure. What is not so well known is that having a bowl of soup each day can help stave off winter weight gains. The secret to soup’s weight loss success is satiety. Satiety is the feeling of fullness that comes after a meal. This fullness occurs from a mixture of physical and psychological factors that include the physical filling of the stomach and the rush of appetite-decreasing hormones. Foods with high satiety keep us from coming back for second helpings and instead spare more calories. One of the highest satiety factors is water. But it is not
the water that you drink, many studies have shown liquids have a very low influence on satiety. Instead, water found in food is the most satiating. This is one reason behind the mainstay fruits and vegetables in weight loss. Nonetheless, a wealth of research on satiety and weight loss has centered on the surprisingly high satiety of soup, a watery food. The research on soup and satiety started over 20 years ago at Penn State. In a groundbreaking study, eating a small (200 calorie) bowl of soup before a meal significantly reduced the overall amount eaten. Since then many ideas have been proposed to understand why soup acts this way. Even though we are still far from a complete understanding, continual studies keep showing the same results: Eating soup

Jesus Spoke About... The Spirit Jesus said, “It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing, the words I have spoken to you, are spirit and are life.” When Jesus speaks of “flesh” he is referring to life lived without God. We can choose to live a life “in the flesh”, independent of God, or a life “in the Spirit”, in union with God. How do we find the true God?- by his Word. Jesus is telling us that it is the Holy Spirit that gives life and that his words are given by the Spirit. This is why the Word of God (the Bible) is so crucial. There are
many fanciful ideas about God and the spiritual life. In order to know God we must know his Word. What do you think? Let’s talk about it. “Discovery Bible Studies” are held every Tuesday at 7:30pm and on 2nd and 4th Saturdays at 7pm.

before a meal decreases overall intake. A recent study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition explored the types of soups that best reduce overall food intake. This study of over 20 healthy volunteers measured three different meals: a solid meal, a chunky soup and a smooth soup. Each meal was made of the same amount of rice, chicken and vegetables but prepared in different ways. Measurements were made to see how quickly food left the stomach and how full each participant reported feeling. The study found that smooth (blended) soup left the stomach more slowly and significantly increased overall satiety compared to the chunky soup and solid food. Eating fewer calories is the cornerstone to weight loss. One of the best ways to cut back is to choose foods that are high in water, rich in fiber and low in calories. The current research shows that having a small salad or a bowl of soup before a meal can help increase fullness and lead to less calories consumed. More specifically, clear, smooth soups before each meal can help calm an increased appetite.
reported days or weeks before a heart attack. Because these can be attributed to a bug or stress or a pulled muscle, women frequently ignore the symptoms and worry about caring for everyone else around them. As a result, Dr. Smith said, “Women often come to us with more advanced heart disease. While they develop disease at the same rates as men, women actually die from heart disease at higher rates.” Consider these sobering statistics from the American Heart Association: Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined. Heart disease causes 1 in 3 women’s deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute. An estimated 43 million women in the U.S. are affected by heart disease. Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Since 1984, more women
than men have died each year from heart disease. While 1 in 31 American women dies from breast cancer each year, 1 in 3 dies of heart disease. Only 1 in 5 American women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat. Women comprise only 24 percent of participants in all heart-related studies. To help area women learn more about their heart health and recognize the warning signs of heart disease, Catholic Health is sponsoring a free dinner program entitled, “Her Heart: Understanding Women’s Cardiac and Vascular Health,” on Thursday, Oct. 24 from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at the Springville Fire Hall at 405 W. Main St. in Springville. During the program, Dr. Smith and Henry M. Meltser, MD, a cardiologist with Catholic Health and the Cardiology Group of WNY, will present important information on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart and vascular disease
in women, as well as how to recognize the various warning signs. Dr. Smith said he will focus on three topics during the meeting. First is the importance of “educating yourself about the risks of heart disease and what you can do to prevent it.” Next, he’ll review how to “recognize the symptoms of heart disease in women.” And finally, he will discuss how heart disease can be treated. “There is so much we can do about heart disease with today’s medicines and technologies,” he said, especially when the disease or risk factors for disease are caught early. Area women are invited to enjoy a complimentary dinner while spending an informative evening learning how to prevent heart disease or better manage an existing heart condition. Seating is limited and reservations are required by calling Catholic Health’s HealthConnection at (716) 447-6205.

There are aliens among us! A spaceship has landed on Route 242 about 4.5 miles west of Little Valley in Napoli. The spacecraft measures some nine or ten feet in diameter and its interior is lit up at night. Alien visitors guard the ship, so don’t get too close! And be careful when driving along the route. Many drivers are stopping to take photos of “the ultimate Halloween decoration,� says Gary Ross of the Weed Ross Agency. Photo by Gary Ross.
