Ameri-Can Celebrates One-Year, Made In America Partnership By Caitlin Croft
One of Ellicottville’s newest shops recently celebrated their one-year anniversary. On Sept. 1, 2015, Liz Boberg, former manager of The Red Door Ski Shop, decided to try her hand at a retail shop of her own. Coming in with several years of retail management experience, coupled with over 27 years in the retail business, Boberg tells us, “I really felt I had a grasp on the pros and cons of retail in Ellicottville.” The season turned out to be a big test for the new shop. “Fall 2015 was amazing; people were excited for the upcoming winter, but when the season turned out to be much slower than expected, it was tough. We pulled through because of our local base and as soon as spring hit, everything turned around.” This past September, along with their See Ameri-Can Celebrates page 2
Playoff Season! By Indrek Kongat s
Ellicottville Central School Fall Sports The Eagles’ regular season has come to a close for football, soccer and volleyball. Varsity football, Varsity girls volleyball and Varsity boys and girls soccer are all in the playoffs, with strong regular season finishes. All teams are in the Section VI Class D bracket. Here is a complete run down of what took place and what is still to come this year: Football Boys JV football ended with a near perfect season at 6-1. The Varsity Football team ended at 5-2, good enough to get the three-seed for the playoffs. Last Friday, they played sixth-seed Frewsburg in the first round, easily winning 3614. The Titans’ next game is Oct. 28 against the second-seed Silver Creek/Forestville. The winner of that game plays the

The Ellicottville Eagles Little League Midgets football team defeated the Franklinville Panthers in a defensive battle of wills with an 8-0 victory in overtime during the Cattaraugus County Midget Football League “A� Super Bowl. The only touchdown scored by the Eagles was on a 10-yard carry by Christian Swalcy, followed up by a two-point conversion with a pass from Logan Grinols to Caleb Dubel. As per league overtime rules, the Panthers had four plays to score following the Eagles conversion, but the Eagle’s defense was able to shut them out. “Saturday’s Superbowl versus Franklinville was an amazing experience to be involved with,� said head coach Tim Grinols. “The Panthers had a great game plan and were able to stop our offense through four quarters. The game was all
about the defense. Our team created numerous turnovers, including a punt block by Harrison Newark. I could not be more proud of this team and organization. Our defense led by Clayton Rowland had times that we bent but did not break. We went into the game conďŹ dent that our kids would step up and get the win after a previous loss to the Panthers. Neither team could move the ball well until a late carry by Logan Grinols. That carry sparked our offense and gave conďŹ dence to the team. Those are the kind of games you love to be involved with; it was very exciting even without many touchdowns being scored. I wish the kids that are aging out the best of luck next year in the JV program and look forward to another great season with the Ellicottville Eagles Midget Football team.â€? “Our Little Eagles family has faced many adverse
Alex Newark conditions over the past few years with the loss of teammate Emery Lafferty and the cancer diagnosis of Alex Newark, yet these boys and girls were not going to be beat down by this. They stood up and played their hearts and souls out and left it all on the ďŹ eld. These kids won this Super Bowl for Emery and Alex. Congratulations to Franklinville as the Titans football program looks promising,â€? added Ellicottville League President Todd Palmatier. The Little Eagles will recognize both the Pee Wees and the Midgets at a banquet to be held, Sunday, Oct. 30 at the West Valley VFD banquet hall.
Two Dates for ECS Fall Sports Banquets One of two Fall Sports Banquets, presented by the Ellicottville Sports Boosters, is scheduled for Nov. 21, 2016 at 6 p.m., in the High School Cafeteria. Soccer, volleyball and cross country studentathletes will need to make reservations with their coach or in the high school ofďŹ ce prior to Wednesday, Nov. 16. Reservations cards, that will be distributed, should be turned in to help in planning. Family members are welcome with reservations. The Franklinville-Ellicott ville Titan Football program will have a separate banquet Nov. 28, 2016 at 6 p.m. at
the Great Valley Fire Hall with similar fare and the same reservations; however, these will need to be made by Wednesday, Nov. 23. Our coaches encourage all of our student-athletes from the fall sports season to attend a light dinner (pizza, subs, wraps), dessert and the traditional seasonal awards. For reservations, your student-athlete should return the reservation card to his/ her coach or the high school ofďŹ ce. The student-athlete is free, compliments of the Sports Boosters. Parents and other family members, $7 each; $3.50 for students and senior
citizens. Everyone is asked to be courteous to each of the programs. Sports Boosters could always use volunteers serving and cleaning up. We look forward to celebrating the successes of the fall season and our new families from West Valley. We anticipate to be ďŹ nished by 8:30 p.m. The Board of Education(s), Administration(s) and Coaches are exceptionally proud of the devotion, charisma and sportsmanship that our student-athletes show at all our competitions. Congratulations to all teams wearing the Eagles uniform!

Town Planning Board Approves Ellicottville Yurts By Jennie Acklin
Ellicottville Yurts and Recreation was again on the agenda for the Town of Ellicottville Planning Board, and did receive approval for the project. Eight modifications accompany the approval, some of which include sign permit approval, site plan approval by the town engineer before building permits could be issued, parking spaces and access easements. At the September meeting, the Planning Board was unable to make a resolution to approve the special use permit without conditions, because there was not a quorum of board members, and the board could not take any action. Ellicottville Yurts and Recreation is a proposed 13acre campground off Route 219 near the old Riley’s restaurant site, by applicant Justin Dineen. It will include up to four yurts, portable bathrooms and a trailer, which will serve as an office. There will be no sewer or electric to the yurts, and generators will not be permitted. Town Planner Gary Palumbo talked to the board again about the Comprehensive Plan,

costumes. Expect some surprises along the way, as well as an awesome after-party at EBC and costume contests with fabulous prizes. As of press time, the 5K is
expected to be full, but limited space is possibly left in the half marathon. For the latest info, visit www.evlhalf.com. Be sure to stay in EVL after the races and take advantage of
tasty food and night life—you deserve it! See below for course route info.
EVL Halloween Half Marathon & 5k Oct. 29, 2016 *Traffic and Course Information* On Oct. 29, a 13.1 and a 3.1 mile running race will take place on the roads through the towns of Ellicottville and Mansfield. Every effort has been made to disrupt the residents of these communities as little as possible with the help of the Cattaraugus Sheriff Department and The Town of Ellicottville Police Department which will providing traffic control during the race.
A scale model of Justin Dineen’s yurt, as part of Ellicottville Yurts and Recreation, was originally presented to the Town Planning board in April 2016.
updating board members with much of the same information that he presented at the September meeting. He stressed that this is not intended to be a complete rewrite, as directed by the board, but that he would be working with them to identify areas of the plan that needed to be reworked or updated. Discussion also included the possibility of involving a member of the zoning board to attend the comprehensive plan meetings once a month. Once the Town Board has approved the direction of the plan, he hopes to begin the review and re-write process in
January 2017. “The 1990 comprehensive plan was substantially rewritten in 2006, and then amended in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The intent of this update is to keep up with local development trends, new social and environmental concerns, and to incorporate the newest (applicable) management strategies,” as stated in a memo from Palumbo to the Town of Ellicottville dated Sept. 14, 2016. The next meeting of the Town of Ellicottville’s Planning Board is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 28 at 6 p.m.
The races will start at 11 and 11:15 a.m. on Monroe Street in Ellicottville and travel north out of the village and finishing back on Monroe Street. Below are the route descriptions for each race. 5k Route
1/2 Marathon
Runners will have a lane defined by traffic cones on the side of the road and shoulder and the majority of the course will be open to car traffic. In three sections of the course the road will very briefly be restricted to cars with the exception of local residents. Maples Road - North bound lane restricted from Poverty Hill Rd to Kent Rd from 11:20 to 11:45 a.m. Poverty Hill - Closed from 11:30 to 11:45 a.m. from Maples Road in both directions to 1/2 mile north of the Maples/Poverty Hill intersection. Kent Road - Northbound lane closed at 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. from the Intersection of Maples Road to Hinman Hollow. Southbound lane traffic not affected.

removed. Phase two would be identical to phase one, yet it would concentrate on the co-op wing. Lastly, phase three would consist of adding two windows in the auditorium, one on each side of the rear door. This work will be done at an estimated cost of $86,052. A motion was made to increase the town’s contribution to the EVGV Trail by 25 percent. This was arrived at after speaking with state advisors. The motion was passed. The board discussed health insurance options and made a motion, which was approved to renew their policy for 12 months in December for a locked in rate with a 1 percent increase. If they waited to renew after the new year, it would have been an increase of 12 percent. The board made a motion to reduce the speed limit on Robbins Road to 35 mph, which was approved. The request will be sent to the county and then on to the state for approval. There are many homes in the area and they are close in proximity to the road.
Elizabeth Street - 11 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. Local traffic only from Washington to Jefferson/Elk Streets
The Town and Village Board have been in discussion of a Joint Water District. A meeting was held to have an open dialogue about the procedures and processes needed to achieve this goal. This new water district would supersede the old town district and include the village limits. All council and board members are receptive to this idea and it will just be a matter of working out the details. Nussbaumer and Clarke Inc., who was responsible for the new town sewer plant, was receiving complaints from residents of Donlen Drive due to the noise from the turbines. New censors were added to regulate the turbines. This should mitigate all noise that would be a nuisance to neighbors. Nussbaumer and Clarke Inc., are open to exploring block wall should the censors not be enough to control the noise. A new truck for the town was purchased for a price of $38,784. Included are wings and a plow kit. This will be a tremendous aid in snow removal and the town will receive the truck on Jan. 1,
2017. A new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system will be installed in the Town/ Village Hall. The evaluation and recommendations from Nussbaumer and Clarke Inc., have been received and reviewed. They have accepted one of their two proposed plans with only a few changes. The furnaces were originally going to be put in the attic; they will now be put where the current police lockers and evidence room is located. The board approved the motion to proceed forward and the project will be bidded out. The lockers and evidence room will be moved to the Highway Cold Storage Building on Bryant Hill Road. To make this possible, the evidence room will need proper air circulation and the locker room will need better heating for this winter. The Budget Public Hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2016 at 4 p.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board will be Wednesday, Nov. 16, 2016 at 6 p.m.

PUBLIC NOTICES Notice of Public Hearing of the Town Board of the Town of Ellicottville On 2017 Preliminary Budget NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Preliminary Budget of the Town of Ellicottville for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017 has been completed and filed in the office of the Town Clerk of Ellicottville where it is available for inspection by any interested person. FURTHER NOTICE is hereby given that the Town Board of the Town of Ellicottville will have a public hearing at 4:00pm on the 2nd of November at the Town Hall, 1 W. Washington Street, Ellicottville, NY and that any person may be heard for or against any item contained. Pursuant to Section 113 of the Town Law the proposed salaries are as follows: Supervisor $33,554.00 Deputy Supervisor $ 6,604.00 Councilmen – 3 each @ $ 4,497.00 By order of the Town Board of the Town of Ellicottville Robyn A. George, Town Clerk
Senator Young / Rte 219 Continued from front page
in the US Route 219 Completion Project, by presenting her with a plaque stating so. Senator Young began by stating that both the 219 Association and Continental One are the “true heroes” in this effort to complete 219, including all the people since the 1950’s when the ball first started rolling. Senator Young stated that she still has one of the original bumper stickers from that era—“Finish 219”— on her desk as a daily reminder of the work that still needs to be done. The most recent progress has come with the approval in the state budget for a second environmental impact study to be completed. The discussion with Senator Young was to focus on the SEIS from Peters Road to I-86 and the need for a consultant contract. NYSDOT project manager Craig Mozrall estimates a contract will take eight months to a year, sooner if Parsons Transportation, who worked on the original EIS, is chosen for the contract. The first public information meeting would be held approximately six months after the project start date. The 219 Association and Continental One will need the public’s strong and positive interest and support for the Freeway Alternative of the completion project. One of the many drawbacks of the project has been the fact that the NYSDOT Regional Director Darrell Kaminski retired and a replacement may not be in place until January. Holiday Valley president Dennis Eshbaugh stated his concern that the director needs to be replaced quickly by someone with strong leadership in order to be an effective advocate for the project. Senator Young also stated that NYS needs to be the leader in this project, not waiting as Albany has chosen to do, to see what the other states are doing and what they are committed to in completing their sections of the 219. Finally, Senator Young stressed the extreme importance of gaining the support and trust from the Seneca Nation and to form a strong relationship with their new president to be elected Nov. 1 of this year.

‘Tis the Season in Randolph By Chris t opher Gordon
In a few days, ghosts, goblins and many other characters will be knocking on doors, yelling “trick-or-treat” and enjoying the tasty treats as Halloween night draws near. As you walk through stores, there is a gentle reminder that Santa Claus is starting to prepare for his annual trek around the world on Christmas Eve. But before that night comes, the holiday season will offer families an opportunity to make great memories, and Randolph will have many chances to do just that. This will include a chance for residents to purchase memory tree ornaments, which will go on display during the Country Christmas celebration, which will be held Dec. 2-4. The ornaments - which cost $5 a piece - will go on sale beginning Nov. 1 and can be purchased online at enjoyrandolph.org/events/ country-christmas, or at Countrywide Wine and Spirits, Randolph Retail Company or Yarn for Ewe on Main Street. Once the ornaments are purchased, email RACDC Director Mary Heyl at racdc@ randolphny.net and include information on who the ornament is from and who will it either be in memory of (someone who has deceased) or in honor of (someone who is living). The Country Christmas weekend will be filled with many activities for families to enjoy. It will kickoff with a living Nativity at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2 at the East Randolph United Methodist Church. The evening’s festivities will continue with the Memory Tree ceremony at 7:30 p.m. at Triangle Park. On Saturday, Dec. 3, there

will be a cookie house at the Presbyterian Church. It will continue until the cookies are gone. From 3 to 5 p.m., there will be several activities throughout the community. This will include children letting Santa and Mrs. Claus know what is on their wish list, as they will appear at the Randolph Public Library. Also during that time, businesses in the downtown section will participate in the Snowflake Walk Scavenger Hunt for kids. Families can also enjoy carriage rides at the library through the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation. And new this year will be “Randolph’s Light Up the Night Christmas Parade,” which begins at 6 p.m. The parade is sponsored by Expressions Performing Arts Center. Saturday’s events will conclude with a living nativity at East Randolph United Methodist Church. On Sunday, Dec. 4, there will be a Christmas and Toy auction at 2 p.m. The weekend’s activities will conclude with a living Nativity at 6 p.m. at East Randolph United Methodist Church. Randolph Central School will hold its annual Christmas craft show at the high school. Proceeds from the sale,
which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will benefit the Art Guild and French Club. And there will be plenty of activities throughout the holiday season. This will include a Christmas Ball, which will be held by the Village Dance Studio at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4 at the Randolph Junior/ Senior High School. There will also be a winter band concert for children in grades 5-12 at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 8 at Randolph Junior/Senior High School. Before celebrating Christmas in Randolph, the weekend of Thanksgiving will offer residents another way to celebrate the community. As many get set to hit the ground shopping as part of the annual tradition known as Black Friday, residents are encouraged to spend some of their money Saturday, Nov. 26 as well. That is because Randolph businesses will also participate in another tradition known as Small Business Saturday. Malls and big box stores are not the only places to shop for special gifts, as the businesses in Randolph offer a variety of gift ideas for family and friends this holiday season. Make Randolph a must-see stop on your get-ready-for-theholidays route!

Meanwhile, an old enemy has returned, someone that she knows very well. Constance will soon learn that not everything is as it seems.

Health & Fitness
Bouncing Back After a Break
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Cer tified Trainer
We’ve all taken a week (OK, maybe a month) off our workout routines every now and then. Life happens. But will your fitness hiatus completely sideline your progress or just be a little hiccup in an otherwise healthy body? Find out how long it takes for your fitness to go kaput — and how long it will take to get back into tip-top shape. In fitness, you’re moving forward or you’re moving backward. Your body is constantly adapting to the load you put on it. After more than a few rest days for recovery’s sake, your body will slowly start to adapt, not to activity, but to inactivity. (Remember: Your body doesn’t become stronger during workouts, it becomes stronger after them.) “You have to exercise to maintain fitness because after all, if you don’t start your car in a month, the battery dies. Your body is the same way,” says Los Angeles-based certified strength and conditioning specialist Mike Donavanik. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen quite as most of us would like. Research published in the Journal of Applied Physiology suggests that just two weeks of inactivity can negatively impact your cardiovascular fitness and muscle mass. What’s more, in a 2014 Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases study, when obese adults took
a month off from training, they lost most of the aerobic gains they had made from working out the four months prior, and negated improvements in their insulin sensitivity and HDL cholesterol. When you aren’t constantly challenging your body, your muscles shorten, your heart can’t beat as fast or move as much blood per beat and your muscle cells lose some of their mitochondria, their internal power plants, explains Pete McCall, a San Diego-based certified strength and conditioning specialist. Luckily, the fitter you are going into an exercise hiatus, the slower your fitness will decline, Donavanik says. But losses still happen. In one case study of an Olympic rower published in the Journal of Science in Medicine and Sport, eight weeks of detraining resulted in about a 20 percent drop in fitness. Whatever your current fitness level is, minimize how far you backslide with these tips. Move: Something is always better than nothing. Even if you can’t hit the gym, stay active. Walk whenever you can. Take the stairs. Do squats while you brush your teeth and hit the floor for a set of 10 push-ups. Miss endurance workouts: In a perfect world, you’d get in both your high-intensity and your endurance workouts. But for the sake of general fitness, if you have to miss one, miss the endurance workout. It takes slightly longer to lose your endurance fitness compared to your strength and power, Donavanik says. Plus, when you’re tight on time, going all-out for 15 minutes is better at keeping your fitness up compared to 15 minutes of jogging, he says. Track your workouts: Months off from the gym have a way of sneaking up on exercisers. But if you track
both your workouts, and workouts missed, you have a slimmer chance of those few days turning into more, McCall says. There’s no denying: It will take time to get back to your pre-break fitness level. For every week you take completely off, expect to spend about two weeks getting back to where you were, Donavanik says. But, luckily, that’s less time than it took to get fit in the first place. “The brain’s connection with muscle is what tends to form first during training and be retained the longest,” Weeditz says. “Someone who’s had experience with a movement like riding a bike can go back to doing the same thing with relative ease compared to when they hadn’t done it before. This proves equally true with common movements like the bench press and a burpee. The form is there, strength and endurance just need to be redeveloped.” The key to rebuilding is starting off slow. For instance, if you’ve taken four to six weeks off your strength workout, you’ll likely need to start off lifting about 10 to 20 percent less weight than you used to, McCall says. If you’ve taken that time off the treadmill or pool, try covering 50 to 70 percent of your usual distance during your first workout back. Based on how challenging the workouts feel, you can dial things up or down from there. Be patient. Doing too much soon can increase your risk of injury and force you to take more time off from the gym. If you’ve skipped your workouts for more than a couple of months, it may even benefit you to start out with body weight work. But even after just a few workouts, your body will be thanking you — and your fitness will follow.
Ward Unhappy with Scheduling of Playoff Games ECS Board Discusses Technology Updates By Chris t opher Gordon
Although Ellicottville Superintendent Mark J. Ward is in essence, ready to hang up his cleats, in the next several months, he made no bones about the fact that he is upset about the scheduling of playoff games all being on Friday night during Tuesday’s board meeting. “To me, they shouldn’t be playing the same day,” Ward said. Part of the frustration of Ward is the distance of some of the competitions. This includes boys’ soccer, which will be held at Sweet Home High School in Amherst – which is more than an hour away. According to Ward, he is frustrated that there are only two high schools from the area – Ellicottville and Pioneer – that have to travel that distance to compete. He said it is his understanding that there are no contractual obligations to have to play at Sweet Home, so he
does not understand why their games could not be played closer, such as Pine Valley or Dunkirk. While he realizes that his argument is not going to likely end in the results he desires, he is still going to voice his concerns to those who make the scheduling decisions. “I’m going to complain about it just the same,” Ward said. He said if there was contractual reasons, like an agreement to use a college facility, then he would understand the decision to play the games farther away. “We’ve never played at Sweet Home in the 40 years I’ve been here,” Ward said. In other news, Ward said the technology committee recently met and gave an update on an array of topics, including noting that the district has some “limitations on printing.” As a result, only 50 copies can be made at a time. He would
also like printing to be used on “useful things.” One of the main topics that was discussed is that parents have access to grades of their students online these days. Ward believes there is good and bad aspects to this. He thinks it is good that parents can be more directly involved in seeing what their kids are doing day-to-day. However, his one concern is that he does not want to see parents asking why grades are not always posted quickly, as it takes time for teachers to grade papers and post scores. School board member Nicole Klein believes these kinds of tools benefit students and parents. “It almost allows parents to micromanage their kids’ lives,” Klein said. The next ECS School Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m.

East Otto Holiday Open House Nov. 5 & 6 East Otto Country Associates will celebrate their 30th Annual Holiday Open House this year on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 5 and 6. Member businesses Brookside Studio Watercolors and Hog-Shed Studio Pottery are joining together to make this a special event. At Brookside Studio Watercolors, artist Robin Zefers Clark has added oil paintings to her fine selection of water color paintings. The oil paintings are the result of Clark’s “Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days” challenge. Clark took on this challenge to give her a new goal and fresh inspiration. “It was made a little more challenging because I chose to address the challenge in oils, which is a departure from my usual watercolors,” Clark said. “But the results are some wonderful, 6 inch by 8 inch oil paintings that are both beautiful and affordable.” Do you have a photo of your home that you have always wanted to enjoy as a painting? In her studio on Otto-Maples Road, Clark offers this service in watercolors, as well as her Limited Edition prints and reproductions, and “Grandcestor” Portraits. To
learn more about Brookside Studio Watercolors go to www. brooksidestudio.com or www. eastotto.com Just down the road, Elliott and Michael Hutten of HogShed Studio Pottery have been producing handmade stoneware pottery for the last 34 years. At Hog-Shed Studio Pottery, you can find the perfect gift for Christmas or any other occasion. Choose from handmade bowls, mugs, casseroles, vases, sculptures, paintings in clay, and many other creations. As in years past, Elliott has made a new “litter” of piggy banks just for the Holiday Open House. Elliott will also offer candle sticks and specially-made 2016 Holiday Ornaments to grace your Christmas tree or home décor.
Also available at Hog-Shed Studio Pottery is a selection of wood fired pottery. “I think that the wood fired pottery adds an exciting new dimension to our work,” says Elliott. “The effects of wood firing on the surfaces of our pottery are unpredictable and unique to each piece. Wood fired pottery has a wonderful, earthy character that can’t be achieved in any other way.” Go to www. myhogshedstudiopottery.com for more information about Hog-Shed Studio Pottery. The East Otto Country Holiday Open House will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 5 and 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For a map and directions, visit www.eastotto.com or call (716) 257-9549.
Never Too Big for Pumpkinville By Alicia Dziak
Going to Pumpkinville each fall has been a tradition for me and my girls for years now. When they were little, I’d organize group outings with their friends after school— we’d head there for a tour and pick out pumpkins from the patch. As they got older, after school schedules jammed up with sports and other activities, and finding times that worked for everyone became harder. But we still managed to break away, once every fall, to visit their favorite pumpkin farm. Now my girls are 11 and 13, and while they’ve outgrown some of the activities they used to like, they still beg me to take them to Pumpkinville, as it’s the highlight of the preHalloween season. Every year, Pumpkinville regulars know that there is always something new to do. This year, it’s the Pumpkinville Express and the partnership with Peanuts Worldwide. On our visit last weekend, our first stop was (as it usually is) the corn maze, which this year, is carved out with a Snoopy design, although you can really only see that from above. As we headed inside, we got a Bingo card with scratch-off spaces, similar to a lottery ticket. Inside the maze, we were challenged to find various “stations” throughout the maze and then had to scratch off certain spaces on the card. Once complete, we made our way back out and returned the card to the beginning and enter a drawing to win a trip to Knott’s Berry Farm. “I like the Bingo format and having something to look for inside the maze instead of just trying to find the exit,” stated Lily, my 11-year-old. “I like that they change the activities for the corn maze every year,” my 13-year-old, Ava, added. Next, we headed to the tractor-drawn hay ride, which takes guests down a path and by the pumpkin patch. There’s something comforting about cuddling up to your older kids on a chilly fall day.
All this activity made us work up an appetite. We grabbed some pumpkin donuts from the bake shop and a cup of hot cider from the cider barn and found a seat on a bench. We talked about how good everything tasted and what we were going to do next. Decision made. It was time for the Jumpin’ Pillows, a favorite since they added them a few years back. We always have to reminisce about the time they got to be in a Pumpkinville commercial they year the pillows debuted, jumping away with some other kids and yelling “Pumpkinville is for kids!” into the cameras. As we approached, the girls asked if they were too old to do them this year. I said no way. Off they went jumping away on these air-bag pillows, giggling like they’ve done ever year since they were installed there. “I like how Pumpkinville has different activities for different ages,” said Ava, using the two separate jumping pillows for older and younger kids as the example. Next it was time to shop, but first we needed to stop at each and every photo cutout dotting the property and pose for pics. The favorite is probably still the pumpkin that reads “How Tall This Fall.” “I like the pumpkin growth chart because every time you go, you can see how much
you’ve grown since the last time,” Ava told me. I agree—how cool is it to see how tall your kids have grown each year? We have a collection of these photos in front of this same growth chart, and it makes me happy and yes, a little sad. After squatting down into the cutouts the girls once had to stand on their tip toes to get into, we are ready for some shopping. We grabbed some pickles and dilly beans from one of the shops, and some maple cotton candy from the all-things-maple stand. We picked out a medium-sized $9 bag and filled it with a variety of apples. I grabbed a butternut squash to make for dinner one of these nights when I might have a few minutes to make an actual dinner. “I love going to Pumpkinville every year because there’s a lot of stuff to do and you don’t get bored,” Lily said. As we headed back to the car, the girls thanked me for taking them and talked about how fun it was. Something that didn’t cost a fortune that you can enjoy with your tween and teen daughters? Yes, this is exactly why we will visit Pumpkinville every year! It’s the perfect place to enjoy quality family time and make lasting memories. If you’ve never been, give it a try before they close for the season. For more info, visit www. pumpkinville.com.

SGI Named as Emerging STEM School The WNY STEM Hub recognized Springville Griffith Institute Central School District as an Emerging STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) School District for demonstrating a commitment to beginning a STEM education process. This is the third year the WNY STEM Hub designated Emerging STEM School Districts: 44 districts in five counties were previously honored since 2014. Siemens Industry, Inc., a global powerhouse in electronics and engineering, sponsors these K-12 awards annually. Eight other districts were thusly honored this year. “Our honorees embrace the importance of STEM education for students of all ages and grade levels,” says Michelle Kavanaugh, Ed.D.,
president of the WNY STEM Hub. “By creating a culture of STEM learning, including arts education, schools, governance bodies, and corporate partners are establishing an education pipeline for our next generation workforce. Our region’s future depends on STEM trained and innovation-talented employees
with technical skills and creative problem solving abilities in a variety of career paths.” The WNY STEM Hub is a volunteer-driven incorporated organization with more than 600 individual members representing more than 250 See STEM page 6

The Goodrich House on East Hill Main Street Springville is a beautiful Queen Anne style mansion. The house was built by Morris Hall, who made a fortune in the building and real estate business, and was well known for the Hall’s Opera House he built that stood where DonChelle Salon is now. The opera house burned in 1879 and he later operated another opera house with Mr. Childs in the old Universalist Church where Dr. Scharf’s office is today. When Hall’s wife died in 1907, the property reverted to her nephew, Luther Shuttleworth, who Morris lived with until he died in 1916. The house stayed in the family until Shuttleworth died in 1943. In 1943, the Roye Goodrich family purchased the property. Mr. Goodrich was President and CEO of the Robinson Knife Company , which operated in Springville until the late 1990s. It is here where it became interesting. The Goodrich’s loved to entertain. The eyebrow window highlights the ballroom on the third floor.
Stories still abound about the famous New Year’s Eve parties held there. On Halloween, the Goodrich’s would host elaborate parties, and one such party was described in the local newspaper. According to the description, guests would arrive masked, crawl through an arch made from corn stalks and then enter the darkened house. From there, the guests would be led by flashlight through the entrance hall that was decorated with decapitated dummies and led up a darkened staircase by a rope. The article furthers, “Descending the staircase, another escort, dressed reassuredly, as a skeleton, led them out into the falling snow, and through and avenue of lighted pumpkins to the rear of the house. Here was a large opening, which their bewildered senses did not at first recognize as cellar doors, and their companion bade them to sit down and slide. There was no turning back.” The guests went through further mazes in the darkened

There was a motley crew that included Rudolph Valentino, Uncle Sam, Russian Peasants, harlequins See A Look Back page 6
KB Fall Fest Nov. 11-13 Ski/Snowboard Swap to Benefit Ski Patrol By Alicia Dziak
As the days continue to get colder and shorter, we know winter is coming up fast and it’s time to think about all your snowy day acitivities. Enjoy the calm before the holiday storm, and take some time to enjoy post-Halloween, pre-Thanksgiving by getting yourself prepared for the white stuff at Kissing Bridge’s Fall Fest, Nov. 11-13. Inventory that stash of winter coats, boots and, of course, ski and snowboard gear. If your to-do list includes sizing up or upgrading, look no further than the annual Ski and Snowboard Swap, where you can find tons of new and used equipment to outfit yourself and your favorite kids. Stop in and pay only $1 to register new or used gear at
KB’s Central area. “People can start bringing equipment in at noon on Friday and they will take it down to the cafeteria,” said Carlee John of Kissing Bridge. KB will do the selling for you, and their Ski Patrol receives 10 percent of the sale.
In addition to the ski/ snowboard swap, KB’s Fall Fest will feature vendors selling everything from health and beauty to home goods to winter apparel and more. Get a jump on your holiday shopping and support local businesses. See KB Fall Fest page 2

American Diabetes Month in November Diabetes has been called an invisible disease. Fact: About 29 million Americans deal with this chronic illness. Fact: Every 23 seconds, another person in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes. And, fact: with 86 million Americans in danger of developing this condition, raising awareness of diabetes symptoms, treatment options, risk factors and ways to lower those risks are of high importance. In November, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) calls attention to diabetes with American Diabetes Month.
Employees at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home will be wearing gray on Monday, Nov. 14 - World Diabetes Day. Gray was established as the designated color for diabetes in the early 1990s. The stereotypes and myths about diabetes can be addressed through the awareness efforts of national organizations like the ADA. Local outreach from healthcare providers and primary care centers to patients and families also plays a key role in clearing up confusion about diabetes. Education programs like the one at BCH are helpful for patients with diabetes
and pre-diabetes to access accurate, relevant and current information about these conditions. BCH’s Diabetes Education Program is accredited by the American Association of Diabetic Educators, and offers group and individual classes for prediabetics and diabetics. The BCH diabetes support group meets on the ďŹ rst Monday of most months. This group continues with the topic “Holiday Eatingâ€? on Nov. 7 and “Web Sites and Appsâ€? on Dec. 5. There is no cost to participate in this group. For more information, call (716) 592-9643.

SGI Football Continued from front page
have to play in some miserable conditions. At the high school level, they are no longer boys, but very hearty men. Last Friday night, with the temperature hovering around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, a driving rain that was just short of gale force, and pigskin that was more like a greased pig than a football, Springville put it to the Depew Wildcats. The few fans that did turn out to watch the contest and cheer on their home team got more than their money’s worth. The first quarter started off tame enough with a touchdown each and a couple of two-point conversions, ending in an eight-all tie. The second quarter was a completely different story, and set the pace for the rest of the game. Senior quarterback Connor O’Brien led his team down the field, scoring at will, with Ian Baker running like a truck with no Experience the brakes. Emerling Difference! With just 1:52 left in the half, the Griffs had a commanding 30 to 8 lead before the Wildcats scurried for one more touchdown, ending the half at 30 to 14. Many SELECT VEHICLES fans decided enough was enough with their team in full control, started towards the exit and their nearest coffee shop for a steamy brew or hot chocolate. Little did they know that the game was just about to get even more interesting! I won’t call it a great defensive battle, as both offenses seemed to squirt right through SCORE BIG WITH TOP NOTCH SERVICE the fingers of their tacklers. Who would have expected a score more common to a basketball game than football game—58 to 42—with Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Springville coming out on top.

Girls JV Volleyball, coach Robert Gainey The JV girls volleyball team came out of last week’s match with Lackawanna as 3-0 winners. The girls were led by the timely hitting of Sara Ehlers from the outside. She consistently hit the ball well and finished with a number of solid kills to lead the group to a 25-16 win. The girls took game two behind the strong play of Marin Lehr and excellent passing of Vaidah Emerling. The girls took that game 25-17. The team finished the sweep behind the great back row play by Amber Nichols and steady net play of Ashley Blesy. The JV girls volleyball team hosted the Pioneer Panthers on Monday night and lost 2-1. The girls played very competitively throughout the first game, but eventually fell 25-18. The team had some strong moments in game two but couldn’t overcome the tough serving from the Panthers, they dropped that game 25-16. The girls would not be swept as they took the third game 25-18. That game saw Marin Lehr and Amber Nichols play well to help lead the team. The girls had an incredible season finishing 14-3 overall. The team was led by a group of outstanding sophomores, including Morgan Christ, Abby Stressinger, Mary DiGangi, and Erica Tyler. The team will look toward the future as players such as Sara Ehlers, Emily Ehlers, Ivette Lewandowski, Vaidah Emerling, Alyssa Hunter, Marin Lehr, Ashley Blesy and Amber Nichols lead the team next season.

Outdoor Adventure Planning a Canadian Arctic Char Fishing Trip
By Indrek Kongat s
Have you ever dreamed of going on a once in a lifetime fishing trip where the fish are big and plentiful and wild? Well, Canada’s Arctic Char fishing is just the trip. You don’t need a visa to go to Canada. Political stability is pretty sound and there are very few poisonous critters to worry about; in fact there are only the toothy kind (polar bears) the further north you go. The climate is also predictable, freezing cold in the winter and mild in the summer. When Katrina hit New Orleans back in 2005, my tent was rocking several days later as she made her way up to Ungava Bay in northern Quebec— that’s about the worst that it will get. The Arctic Char is an oceangoing member of the salmon and trout families, exhibiting an adipose fin, similar in coloration as a brook trout when in freshwater, but silver upon returning to the ocean. You can find char all over the Arctic, including Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Russia and even in some high alpine lakes further south. Victoria Island, in the western Canadian Arctic and Ungava Bay in the eastern Arctic, host the largest char and are the best choices for the novice to expert fly-fisherman. The fishing takes place in mid to late summer from mid-July, once the ice goes out, to mid-September. You can expect mild daytime temperatures in the 50s-60s dropping down to freezing at night. Accommodations are most often tent cabins, which are heated sometimes, but regardless, a warm sleeping
bag is essential. The experience alone of being up in the Arctic is worth the airfare, daylight enough to read a book by at 2 a.m., dark enough to get a quick few hour nap in before the sun comes up again a 5. Victoria Island is barren— no trees, no bushes, just lichen so deep on the tundra it is like walking on air. Ancient Inuit community tent circles abound, and piles of rocks used to trap the Arctic Fox are more common than not. Birders will love the variety and abundance of species, from sandhill cranes to trumpeter swans. Ungava Bay is really in the sub-arctic region and falls into the edge of the tree-line, a sharp contrast to Victoria Island. An amazing feature of this region is the tide rising as high as 56 ft. Ungava Bay rivers are also host to Atlantic salmon and some of the largest brook trout in the world. The best time to book your Arctic char adventure is now in the fall for the following season. In order to get the preferred week when the char are just entering the rivers, you need to book well in advance. Most camps will take 6-12 fisherman per week, with a three-week fishing season— very low fishing pressure, but extremely limited space as these trips are very popular. Access to Ungava Bay is through Montreal, and Victoria Island through Edmonton. Expect to layover in these cities both on going and coming back, as the connecting flights further north depart very early in the morning and return late in the day. Outfitters normally

include commercial airfare from these departure cities. Upon arrival in the Arctic, you then take a chartered float plane trip to your outfitter’s camp. Some outfitters offer daily fly outs to rivers in their area, while a few fish only the river that they are set up on. Either way, the fishing is excellent. The reason that these fly fishing trips are excellent for the novice to expert alike is in the ease of hooking fish. You don’t need to be able to cast long lines as the fish hug the shore line. You can use singlehanded or two-handed spey rods to swing the fly across the current. The hit will come on the tangle as the fly swings down below the angler and flutters in the current. Short tugs on your fly line will entice the char to strike. The real challenge begins once the fish is hooked. Arctic Char range in size from an average of 6-10 pounds to over 30. You never know what you’ll get until your rod is bent double and your reel begins to sing. Fresh from the ocean, char are extremely strong and fishing in an equally strong river current makes it almost impossible to land a fish without walking it down to a quiet eddy. I have had many char take off upstream with my fly line slicing through the water like a saw blade through wood, humming all the way.

Guest dress in their costumes at the Goodrich Halloween party in the 1940s. and gypsies. At midnight, guests were demasked and sat down to a dinner in the elaborate dining room. The Goodrich’s guests came from Buffalo, Bradford, PA and as far away as Washington, DC. It wasn’t just their private parties that were fun. In the 1950s, trick-or-treaters also loved going to the Goodrich house.
“Trick-or-treaters were greeted at the back door and given hot chocolate, which was nice because it always snowed on Halloween,� remembers Maralee MacDonald, who grew up in Springville during the 1950s. “After you left the kitchen, you were given a small tour of the house and went out the front door with a small bag of the good candy.�
She also recalled, “It wasn’t like the old lady on Buffalo Street who made a huge bowl of popcorn and then took a teaspoon and put a teaspoon of popcorn into everyone’s bag.� The house was owned by the Goodrich family until Grayce Goodrich died in 1992. Today the house is still a private residence.
