If you’re one of the thousands who celebrate Columbus Day weekend with a visit to Ellicottville for the annual Fall Festival, your wait is over. This weekend, Oct. 7-8, EVL’s biggest and oldest festival of the year is back, complete with music, races, rides, food, arts and crafts and endless fall fun. Started in 1975 as a way to bring people into the budding ski town of Ellicottville as the winter merchandise arrived in stores, Fall Festival has evolved into one that brings in countless people for many different reasons, and this year’s festival promises to carry on the tradition of nonstop entertainment. Head to Washington Square and let the kids get their thrills on the carnival rides from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day. Grab a bite at the Jefferson Street food court, or stop in one of the local restaurants who will be serving up their signature dishes. Get a jump on holiday shopping at the arts and crafts fair lining the Village streets. Find everything from unique gifts to food items and more at dozens of vendors offering their wares. It won’t be long before the snow ﬂies and Fall Fest the perfect time to gear up for the upcoming ski season. The annual tent sale takes place at Washington and Jefferson Streets, and three of EVL’s ﬁnest ski and gear shops— City Garage, Dekdebruns and Mud Sweat N Gears— will be selling everything you need at discounted prices. Holiday Valley’s Mountain Shop Tent Sale will also be going on both days.

$3.3 Million in Upgrades at Holiday Valley

This year, Holiday Valley celebrates its 60th year in Ellicottville. While the actual anniversary celebration won’t happen until early 2018, there is plenty to look forward to as the resort anticipates opening late next month. Holiday Valley recently announced that it is adding to its automated snowmaking system, purchasing two groomers, expanding the beginner’s area and conducting a host of other projects. Guests of Holiday Valley will reap the beneﬁts of more efﬁcient and increased snowmaking, allowing for added time and enjoyment on the slopes this season. This year’s $3.3 million brings the total investment for this independent resort to more than $126 million in the past 24 years.

Fall Festival Weekend is not complete without a visit to Pumpkinville! Pick out the most carve-able pumpkins at the longest-running pumpkin farm in New York State, located at 4844 Sugartown Road in Great Valley. Pumpkinville is open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. now through Halloween, and there are all kinds of fun activities on the schedule for October! This year, Universal Pictures has partnered with Pumpkinville for the 75th anniversary of the Curious George book series, as well as the upcoming Curious George movie. Owners Dan and Diane Pawlowski are excited to have visitors explore this year’s sixacre corn maze, which features Curious George leaping out of a jack-o-lantern! The maze, which was planted around the 15th of May, is about eight feet tall, and is sure to give visitors a run for their money. Several visitors have enjoyed this challenging maze, as well as visits from Curious George, himself! Admission to Pumpkinville is free and so is the parking, so load up the family and head over to Great Valley. Pumpkinville is your destination for all of your favorite seasonal delights including fresh apples, homemade donuts, gourds, and pumpkins, of course! Be sure to check out Pumpkinville’s restored 1870s cider mill in action, and enjoy a fresh glass of cider, too. Children will enjoy the many free activities, like petting the farm animals, playing in the Corn TeePee and the Kiddie Spookum Barn, and meeting Perky, the Talking Pumpkin. Visitors can also purchase an activity wristband to get the full Pumpkinville experience and enjoy the farm pedal carts, country hayrides, cow train and the six-acre corn maze! Other activities for 2017 include the Pumpkin Jumpin’ Pillows,

hayrides, and Gem Mining. New for 2017, the Apple Blasters are air compressed guns that visitors can use to ﬁre apples at various metal targets—let the games begin! Now that October is here, Pumpkinville’s range of activities include helicopter rides above the beautiful fall foliage! Helicopter rides take place on weekends throughout the month, weather permitting, and are available at an additional charge to the regular Pumpkinville activities. Don’t forget to bring your appetite to Pumpkinville, as there’s a delicious treat no matter how big your appetite! Try one of their famous pumpkin donuts, freshly popped kettle corn, ice cream, homemade pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread, freshly made fudge, caramel and candy apples and more. Enjoy a meal at the Pumpkinville Grill and on the weekend, try Pumpkinville’s delicious chicken barbecue. Keep up with all the latest activities at Pumpkinville by following Pumpkinville on Facebook, where you may just be a winner! That’s right, every Friday is Freebie

Friday, when Pumpkinville gives away great prizes to those who “like” and/or comment on their Freebie Friday post. So far this season, Pumpkinville has given away a dozen pumpkin donuts, fresh apple cider, a family 4-pack of activity wristbands, a half bushel of apples, and more. Will you be the next big winner? To learn more about Pumpkinville, visit www. pumpkinville.com or call (716)699-2205. Located just minutes from Ellicottville, Pumpkinville is the perfect place to make fun memories this fall!

Last Weekend of NIGHT LIGHTS at Grifﬁs By Alicia Dziak

Don’t miss your chance to check out the awe-inspiring collision of arts, light and nature that is NIGHT LIGHTS at Griffis Sculputre Park. This annual event has been held the past several weekends, with this weekend being the final for the season. NIGHT LIGHTS combines the park’s unique sculptures with theatrical lighting by Sitler HQ and visitors literally can see the park in a new light. “We love having visitors view the park in such a unique manner especially during our regular season we close at dusk. This allows visitors to interact with art and nature in a different time and light! NIGHT LIGHTS completely changes the landscape and sculptures that are featured along the path. The lights are done in such a creative manner that you often wonder if you are in the same location,” said Griffis Sculpture Park Executive Director, Nila Griffis. If you’ve never experienced NIGHT LIGHTS at the park,

you’ll be blown away by the sculptures and natural surroundings lit up with creative displays of lights and colors. “The sculptures take on a whole look bathed in colorful LED lights,” noted Doug Sitler of Sitler HQ. NIGHT LIGHTS will be open Friday, Oct. 6 through

Sunday, Oct. 8, 7:30- 10 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 to 7. Six and under are free. “We welcome visitors back for this special occasion and hope to draw people that have never been to the park as well!” Grifﬁs said.

Fall Festival Continued from front page

If you’re looking to trade in that outgrown gear, head to Holiday Valley’s Ski Swap, with check ins and picks ups scheduled Thursday through Saturday. Check out the schedule for times. Holiday Valley’s Marketing Director, Jane Eshbaugh, said that the resort will also be featuring their third and ﬁnal in the Road Show Rail Jam on Saturday from noon to 2 p.m. at the base of Mardi Gras so everyone in line can watch. “It’s a ramp with an artiﬁcial snow carpet leading to a rail so skiers and snowboarders can get some pre-winter riding and offer up their best tricks on the rail,” she explained. The Rail Jam is to the public, and kids under 18 need a parent signature. (Bring your own equipment, helmets required.) Holiday Valley will also be offering $7 chairlift rides on both the Spruce and Mardi Gras chairs, which Eshbaugh said are the biggest draws for the weekend. Ride to the top and enjoy live music at the top of Mardi Gras and a Birds of Prey show by Jonathan Clarkson at Spruce Lake at 2 p.m. each day. According to Eshbaugh, Fall Fest is about “celebrating the upcoming winter and giving people lots of great reasons to come visit our town.” Two races are planned for those looking to burn off some energy and calories. On Saturday, Oct. 7, the annual Fall Festival 5K Run kicks off at 9:30 a.m. from Holiday Valley, when runners take to the local streets on this fun, challenging

Firemen’s Tent or Keith James Shuskie, of The Voice fame, at Balloons. At 4:30, Nerds Gone Wild will play at EBC, followed by Strictly Hip at Finnerty’s, and Darkwater at Balloons at 6. Cap off the evening with DJ Gilroy at the EBC Beer Garden, Hit and Run at EBC’s Big Stage, Funktional Flow at Balloons, all at 8 p.m., and Max Moscato Band at Villaggio at 9. If that’s not enough, Sunday offers even more. At noon, check out Black and Blues Band at the top of HV’s Mardi Gras lift.

the beginning of the year,” explained Bush. “I ﬁrst have to ﬁnd the Evl Creature for the year and then I come up with a sketch or image. I work with my Medal team at Ashworth Awards who take my idea and turn it into medal! As for the T-shirts, they are Patra Lowes originals. She is amazing!” Both the half marathon (11 a.m. start) and the 5K (11:15 a.m. start) begin and end in the heart of town at 5 Monroe Street. While the course remains the same as in years past, Bush noted that “we always try to add a little something to the race each year to make it more fun for our athletes.” The scenery gives competitors something to look at along the way, and add in an array of cool, scary and just plain fun costumes (who doesn’t like to

Cyclocross Returns to HoliMont Oct. 22 Bicycle riders love the fall and all the season brings— crisp air, blazing colors and cooler temps. Add in a zig zag course, some mud and a handful of barriers at one of the most scenic spots around and you’ve got a cyclocross race. HoliMont is hosting its second annual HoliCX2 race Oct. 22. Cyclocross originated in Europe and by most accounts it was a way to train during the off season for long bicycle races like the Tour De France. In 1910, Belgium hosted the first national cyclocross championship and in 1924, Paris, France was the location of the first international race, Le Critérium International de Cross-Country Cyclo-Pédestre. In 1950, UCI regulated its first cyclocross race which happened to be the world championships in Paris. It wasn’t until the 1960s that cross racing got some traction in the US. Participation grew threw the 90s bike boom and is still growing today. Boulder, CO is one of the country’s hot beds for cross and hosts numerous races and events throughout the year. As for the local scene, there are many sponsors and promoters holding races all over Western New York. Two years ago, a local legend and

racer John Roden had the idea of combing the popular cross races in the area into an overall series with a focus on families. WNY Cross Series (www. wnycyclocross.com) was born. There are classes for all ages and abilities and is a great way to get the whole family active and outdoors. The ﬁrst HoliMont Cyclocross race was held last year during Fall Festival and drew 100 racers from all around the region. The course offered challenging lines and features with the fall foliage creating a magniﬁcent backdrop. This year’s race will be held on Oct. 22, two weekends after Fall Festival, to give more focus to the race itself. Registration details, times of events and other information can be found online at www.bikereg.com. Day-ofregistrations will also be open at 8:30 a.m. race day. Racing, parking and spectators will all enter at the WestMont entrance located at Ridgeway drive, off

Route 242. There will also be a fun kid’s course free to all racers 8 and under. All other racers will need a valid USAC license or buy a one-day license for $10 on top of the registration fee. The ﬁrst 100 people to register also get a free pair of HoliMont bicycle socks. For more information or if you would to set up on vendor row, call HoliMont at (716) 699-2320 or email greg@ holimont.com.

Breast Cancer Awareness Continued from front page

Just about everyone knows someone who has been affected by breast cancer diagnosis, whether it’s a family member, friend, colleague, or even oneself. According to recent research cited by www. breastcancer.org, about 1 in 8 women in the U.S. (about 12 percent) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Besides skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women, and the American Cancer Society estimates that almost 2,470 American men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2017. While these statistics are alarming, awareness and research about breast cancer have increased exponentially in recent decades. In 1985, the American Cancer Society designated October as the month to raise awareness for the signs of breast cancer, promote best practices for prevention, and create fundraisers to support breast cancer research. Now, more than 30 years later, communities across the country are banding together in creative ways to raise awareness and money for a cause that is very near and dear to so many. One of these creative fundraisers is the Pink Pumpkin Project, founded in 2012 by Lynn Anzivine, whose sister-inlaw, Laurie Ogle, passed away in 2007 from breast cancer. It all started with one pumpkin that Anzivine and her family painted pink in honor of Laurie; Anzivine’s son suggested that they make and sell several pink pumpkins and donate 100 percent of the proceeds to a local friend undergoing breast cancer treatments. That year, Anzivine’s family sold 25 pumpkins; this number grew

Little Explorers Learn about the Water Cycle at Audubon Oct. 14

Little Explorers Learn about the Water Cycle at Audubon, Saturday, October 14 Jamestown, NY – “Oh, the places you’ll go and the creatures you’ll see,” as you join Pitter and Patter to learn about the water cycle. “Pitter and Patter, A Water Story,” the theme for Audubon Community Nature Center’s next Little Explorers, is based on the book written by Martha Sullivan and illustrated by Cathy Morrison. On Saturday, October 14, 10-11:30 a.m., you and the three- to eight-year-old

child(ren) in your life can learn about the water cycle through exploration and this book. Water is everywhere, falling from the sky, sitting underground, even moving inside your body. Here you can learn how water moves through nature. The water on the planet is finite and has been recycling itself for eons. With the help of the sun, wind, and gravity, water flows through habitats, in and out of living things, and forms the clouds that fill the sky. Water works to connect everything. After reading about two raindrop friends, Pitter and Patter, you will go outside to explore some water around Audubon. Returning inside, you will enjoy a snack and, if there is time, a craft. The program runs rain or shine and going outdoors is the most important part, so come dressed for the weather. The fee for Little Explorers is $8 for adults, $6 for Nature Center members and children.

Reservations are required by Thursday, October 12, and can be made by calling (716) 5692345 during business hours or online through the Programs page at auduboncnc.org. Audubon education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, and Lenna Foundation. Audubon Community Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania. To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 or visit auduboncnc.org. Audubon Community Nature Center builds and nurtures connections between people and nature by providing positive outdoor experiences, opportunities to learn about and understand the natural world, and knowledge to act in environmentally responsible ways.

Other projects include the replacement of the Cindy’s Warming Hut and the Mistletoe Lean To, construction of two new connector trails, renovations at the Inn at Holiday Valley, new uniforms for the Mountain Operations department, a new Resort Shuttle Van, new golf carts and new fountains in the golf course ponds. Snowmaking is the life blood of ski resorts throughout the country, and Holiday Valley has invested heavily in continuing to grow their state-of-the-art automated system. The resort now has the largest and most powerful HKD snowmaking system on the East Coast. This year’s purchase of 70 HKD Auto units and 10 HKD Viper ground guns gives the resort a total of 314 automated guns, which allow the talented snowmaking crew to make more snow in a shorter period of time using less energy. The new snowmaking guns will be placed on up to six trails. Pipeline additions and upgrades will also take place as a part of this year’s investment. The two new Pisten Bully 600 Grooming Tractors will replace two older units, resulting in a cleaner and more energy efﬁcient ﬂeet of

six groomers. These highly specialized machines are used almost every night of the winter season to resurface the slopes for the following day. The beginner’s slope, Slippery Streets, will be expanded to accommodate the resort’s Shaped Snow Learning Terrain. This slope is specially groomed to make the learning process more intuitive and enjoyable for students of all ages. The two new trails constructed for this season are both rated “Easier” and are located off lower Northwind slope. Shamrock will bypass the steep section of lower Northwind to give beginners and families easier access to

the base of the Mardi Gras lift. The Boomerang trail will allow for easy access to the Morning Star Quad chair from lower Northwind. Plans are to outﬁt both of these slopes with lights and snowmaking. The Cindy’s Warming Hut has quite a history at Holiday Valley, as it was the original 1960 bottom terminal building of the Tannenbaum T-Bar and moved to its current site more than 30 years ago. It will be replaced by a cozy chalet for the upcoming season, featuring a ﬁre place and large windows for a broad lookout over Cindy’s Run. The Mistletoe Lean To has also been a part of Holiday Valley’s history, and the new Lean To will be very similar in size and shape, but will be set back a bit more into the tall iconic pines of the Mistletoe slope. The slopeside Inn at Holiday Valley will be purchasing new furniture and vanity countertops in a continuous plan to keep the lodging facility current. The new Double Black Diamond golf course fountains were installed earlier this summer and the new golf carts are already seeing regular usage.

coat of galvanizing. New permanent tower locations were installed to increase snowmaking capacity. HoliMont has 100 percent snowmaking coverage on their slopes, but there are always spots that could use more snow. To support the additional guns, new high-pressure air lines have been added, along with new and repaired waterlines. Snowmaking has been the key to successful seasons lately and HoliMont puts out one of the best products around. The HoliMont staff attended many training seminars and classes this summer. Lift evacuation drills take place a few times a year so that the

staff is ready in the event of a lift failure. Many of the staff members underwent CPR and emergency training. At a recent Ski Areas of New York conference, HoliMont managers attended seminars on information crucial to ski area operation in today’s world. Topics included: Marketing and Social Media practices, Safety, Active Threat Awareness and Planning, Industry Statistics, New Technologies, Guest Experience and more. Discover HoliMont is a membership program that will be starting its second season. This gives potential members a chance to try the club for one full season at a signiﬁcant

savings. A full family can ski all season at HoliMont for under $1200. If they decide to join by Feb. 19, the promo price is deducted from their initiation. If they decide not to join, they can still ﬁnish out the season. From the caterpillars to the pine cones, nature seems to point towards a good, snowy winter this year. Everyone at the ‘Mont has their ﬁngers and toes crossed for a cold and consistent ski season. Rest assured that no matter what Mother Nature hands us, HoliMont will have some of the best conditions possible for their members and guests.

The Ellicottville Rodeo cowboys have ridden off into the sunset, and with the change of seasons, it’s now time for a new form of entertainment in town: Nightmare Hayrides on Sommerville Street. Hosted at the same location as the Ellicottville Rodeo, and by the same couple, the Nightmare Hayrides on Sommerville Street is now in full swing for the season at 6319 Sommerville Valley Road in Ellicottville. “This is our 27th year,” said Karen Kent, who co-owns the business with her husband, John. Before beginning both the Ellicottville Rodeo and Nightmare Hayride events, Kent said that she and her husband did horseback riding on their farm. “We used to do horseback riding here for probably 10 years and John wanted something else to do that would bring in families. We started the rodeo, and then he decided to do the haunted hayrides,” said Kent. “Back when we offered horseback riding, the rodeo kind of ﬁt in with that, and we also had the tractors and wagons for making hay to feed the horses. Since we had all the equipment, we decided to start Nightmare Hayrides.” The hayrides then grew, and have now become a bigger attraction than even the signature rodeo. “It’s a lot bigger than the rodeo,” said Kent. It’s easy to see why. The nightmare hayride experience includes a 25-minute tractordrawn hayride, a haunted wooden maze that twists and turns, a haunted barn, and a vortex tunnel. “We change it up every year; otherwise everyone can ﬁgure out where they are going,” said Kent. “This year, there are several new haunts.” The hayride haunts include a full cast of clowns, witches, chainsaw men, scarecrows

and anything and everything in between. But according to Kent, the wolf man is the signature character that is both especially well-known and frightening. “We have the wolf man. He likes to scare you while you’re least expecting it out front or after you get off the wagons. Sometimes he’ll even jump out of the toilets. He could be anywhere,” she said. And because several of the characters are meant to be frightening, Kent emphasized that the experience it best for children 12 and up. “We’re not bloody and gory like some places are, but it’s geared more toward older people. It’s not geared toward tiny children,” she said. “We’ve had instances where small children came and got scared. We get down on their level and let them touch our faces and talk to them, and help so that they aren’t afraid. But really, the event is best for older children.” And adults and children alike all over come to Ellicottville to experience the Nightmare Hayrides on Sommerville Street. “We get Canadians, we get a lot of people from St. Mary’s, Pennsylvania. People come from all over the country,” said Kent. “It’s amazing how far they will drive to go on hayrides. They’ll come multiple times in a season and multiple years in a row.” Kent continued, “We have a lot of families that have come

over the years and now they are bringing their kids because they are old enough to go. It’s a lot of fun.” The hayrides are also something to experience rain or moonshine, as the wagons are loaded and unloaded indoors, and both tickets lines and wagons are covered. “A lot of people like to go on the days that it’s raining, they think it’s scarier,” said Kent. And no matter the weather, visitors will enjoy the snack shack on site that serves hamburgers, hot dogs and homemade soups and chilis. So make room in your October weekends to experience the Ellicottville Nightmare Hayrides – no matter if you’ve already been once before. “Take a chance on it. If you aren’t screaming, you’re laughing,” said Kent. “Drive out and enjoy the beautiful countryside. Ellicottville has a lot to offer, plus this experience. Watch people and get scared at the same time.” Admission to the hayrides is $20 per person; 5 and under are free. The hayrides will run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, through Oct. 29, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. with the last ride running at 9:30. No reservations are needed. For more information on this event, visit the website at www.nightmarehayride.com.

Comedy Night Features Two Award-Winning Comedians

The Rehabilitation Foundation’s Comedy Night is set for Saturday, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. at Good Times of Olean, 800R East State Street. The Foundation is bringing in two

award-winning, nationally touring comedians with a unique skill set. The featured comedian of the annual event, which raises funds for The ReHabilitation Center, is D.J. Demers who is hearing-impaired. Demers was diagnosed with a hearing disability at age 4. As a young boy, he found a way to make friends with laughter. “Comedy and making my friends laugh was a way for me to connect with people and be something other than a boy with hearing aids,” he stated on America’s Got Talent last year. Demers recently appeared on season 11 of America’s Got Talent. He has been on Conan twice and was the winner of both the 2014 Homegrown Comics Competition and 2013 Toronto Comedy Brawl, was a ﬁnalist in NBC’s Stand-up for Diversity, and won ‘Best Breakout Artist’ at the 2015 Canadian Comedy Awards.

And yes, he also wears hearing aids. The host and opening act is Jose Barrientos, who draws attention to social concerns with laughter. His rise to fame as a comedian began in college as a prankster with a fake Hispanic immigrant accent. Barrientos is also a U.S. Army veteran and internet security professional. He’s been seen on 20/20 on ABC, and has performed for the military and colleges all over the country. The evening will begin with cocktails and rafﬂes. Dinner is included with event ticket. Vegetarian, Vegan and Gluten Free Options Available. Doors open at 6 p.m., comedy show begins at 8p.m. Corporate sponsorships, VIP tables and individual tickets are available at www.rehabcenter. org/comedynight or by calling (716) 375-4730 ext. 562

The Ellicottville Central School District’s unassigned fund balance exceeded the state Department of Education guidelines at the end of June. The state recommends a surplus of no more than four percent, said Denise Veloski, a certiﬁed public accountant with at R.A. Mercer, the school district’s outside auditor. The $843,195 in unassigned

fund balance that remained as of June 30 was 6.8 percent, above the four percent allowed by New York state, Veloski said. It’s something to keep an eye on, she added. The 2017-18 school budget is $12.3 million; four percent of that is $492,297. The issue is addressed in the auditing ﬁrm’s management letter. The school lunch program continues to run a deﬁcit,

“The History Begins With You” was the theme for the Annual Dinner and Volunteer Recognition that celebrated Audubon Community Nature Center’s 60th anniversary year. The event opened with a social time in the Fireplace Room followed by a delicious buffet dinner featuring food locally produced and prepared by 3 C’s Catering. President Ruth Lundin shared a Year in Review that described the positive energy generated by the new brand, strong finances, and grounds in the best shape ever. Initiatives of the last three years have brought new programming and increased visibility, expanding Audubon’s efforts in Warren, northern Chautauqua County, and Randolph, and working with Jamestown Public Schools on programs for the new Universal Pre-Kindergarten for 3 year olds (UPK3). The exciting news for next year is the addition of another educator who will assist with the expanded school programming, special events, and public programming. Lundin reported that Nature Center members voted to revise the organization’s constitution and bylaws, including officially changing its name from Jamestown Audubon Society to Audubon Community Nature Center to more accurately reflect its current work. Four new board members were among those installed for 2017-2018: Amber Grekalski, Timothy Piotrowski, Joe Rollman, and Tim Smeal. They joined continuing board members Wendy Bale, John Beard, Pierre Chagnon, Robert Klebacha, Penny Lester, Bob Sokolski, Rose Stark, and Nathan Welker. A Frewsburg, NY resident, Grekalski is Resource Development Coordinator for the United Way of Southern Chautauqua County. Piotrowski is an associate professor in the Civil Engineering Technology program at Alfred State SUNY College of Technology and lives in Busti, N.Y. Rollman is a Stockton, N.Y., resident who

has his own landscape design practice, Leaf+Stone Landscape Architecture, and is co-owner of Ground Control and Sivak Stonemasonry. Tim Smeal lives in Jamestown, and is the Director of Development at the Jamestown Community College Foundation. Under the direction of Naturalist and Volunteer Coordinator Katie Finch, the Nature Center staff gave a tribute to volunteers. The slide presentation began with a holiday gathering of avid birders who formed the Jamestown Audubon Society in 1957. It showed the progress from the 1963 purchase of the 189-acre “Riverside Swamp” through the 1976 completion of the Roger Tory Peterson Nature Interpretive Building and its major addition in 1992. There were pictures of activities from bird banding to environmental education programs as well as the first Thanksgiving with the Birds in 1965. Each historical image was complemented by one of a volunteer doing a similar task this past year, demonstrating for all that “The history begins with you.” The Chairman’s Award is given annually to a person or organization that has demonstrated exemplary service to Audubon. Chair John Beard named outgoing board member Steve Maggio as the 2017 recipient, commending him for his years of volunteer activity from even before he was first on the board in 1984. Senior Naturalist Sarah Hatfield presented the Young Volunteer Award to Evan Kirchoff, an 8th grader at Panama Central Schools.

Among his many contributions as a volunteer over more than five years, Evan has helped with animal care, worked at festivals, and been a character at Enchanted Forest. He now assists Hatfield with Little Explorers, a monthly program for 3-8 year olds and their significant adults, in which he started as a participant. Volunteers logged more than 12,350 hours at Audubon this past year. Pins were awarded to volunteers who achieved milestones in their total recorded hours of service. Denny Anderson was recognized for the distinction of having logged more than 5,000 recorded volunteer hours. Sally Patchen and Merle Szydlo achieved the 2,000+ recognition. John Barone, Barb Conklin, Lee Fletcher, Terry Hallock, Judy Long, and John Willsie reached 1,000+ hours. Ray Carlson, Janet Forbes, Susan Hedberg, Emily Perlock, Don Sharp, and Sue Yauchzy attained 500+ recorded hours. Those who made 250+ hours were Pierre Chagnon, Bill Colter, Jane Conroe, Dean and Elaine Frentz, Denise Grant, Persell Middle School Honor Society, John Hyde, Scott Stoleson, and Nancy White. Louise and Reg Boutwell, Jasmine Buffone, Kimberly Dunnigan, Anne Jackson, Nancy LeBaron, Justin Leid, Karen Lobe, Kristen Lombardi, Steve Maggio, Will Novitske, Rose Stark, Tom Szydlo, and Lissa VanDewark reached 100 or more hours. Eleven of these individuals are registered with RSVP, the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.

Changing Seasons: The Byway Experience celebrates communities and scenery from our region with an exhibit at Springville Center for the Arts. Over 25 artists will be exhibiting work inspired by the Southtowns Scenic Byway through November 18. A free artists’ reception will be held on October 14th. The Western New York Southtowns Scenic Byway is an ofﬁcially designated 108mile scenic loop that runs from the towns of Orchard Park and Aurora south through Boston, Colden, Concord, Ashford and Ellicottville. More than a dozen interpretive signs along the route, along with promotional materials and events have helped the Byway organization to highlight the beauty that surrounds us and promote tourism in the area. Participating artists come from broad geographic area

and represent many different techniques. Artists include Alma Crumlick Wible, Ann Parker, Bruce Morrell, Charles Houseman, Deborah Radford, Doris Palmer Morris, Dorothy Rosche, Judson Brown, Judy Hodge, Karen Carlton, Kathleen McDonnell, Kathy Schifano, Linda Hall, Marlene Coles, Mary Ann Fritz, Nancy Palmer Miess, Pamela Stachowski, Patricia A. Durham, Roslyn Fishbaugh, Sean Witucki, Sharon Bartell, Sharon Stuart, Tara Lowry, John Merlino and Suzanne Borowicz. Seth Wochensky, Executive Director of Springville Center for the Arts, and Chris Stangler, owner of Stangler Fine Arts in Orchard Park, served as jurors for the exhibit. The public is encouraged to visit the gallery for a reception on October 14th from 6:30 to 8 P.M. to meet the artists and

view the exhibit. The free reception will include drinks and other refreshments. A printed catalog of the work will be available for purchase. The exhibit, part of a series of coordinated workshops and programs, is scheduled to be a biennial event. The Olmsted Gallery, part of Springville Center for the Arts, is located at 37 North Buffalo Street, Springville, NY. The gallery is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 5:00pm, Thursdays from noon to 8:00pm, Saturdays from 10:00am to 3:00pm and other times by appointment. For more information on the exhibit, reception, or programs relating to the Byway exhibit, call 716-592-9038 or visit SpringvilleArts.org.

Spaghetti Dinner Benefit Oct. 14 for ALS ERA Team VP Real Estate & Vacation Rentals staff and agents invite the community to a spaghetti dinner on Saturday, Oct. 14, from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Chautauqua Fire Department, 2 Royal Way, Mayville, NY to benefit Dave and Anne Walters of Mayville. Anne Walters, a 15-year employee of ERA Team VP, learned her husband Dave was battling ALS in 2016. ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord, eventually leading to difficulties in moving, swallowing or talking. Patients in later stages of the disease can become totally paralyzed and breakdowns of brain cells can lead to death, according to the ALS Association. The event will feature a pasta dinner, a Chinese auction, a 50/50 raffle, and a bake sale. All proceeds will go to help offset the Walters’ expenses due to this devastating disease.

Cupcaked! I got a chance to catch up with owner Annie Coe and find out how this beautiful boutique came to be. Coe grew up baking with her grandmother, who taught her the fundamentals of baking. “I come from a very artistic family – always finding pleasure in the decorating process,” she said. From Salamanca, Coe attended Lockhaven University and graduated with a degree in Event Planning. “For many years, I have been a Banquet and Restaurant Manager; at my last job I would incentivize my staff with my baked goods and one day, one of them asked why don’t you do this for yourself?” Coe explained. Therefore, in April 2017 Coe filed for her Doing Business As (DBA) and started baking out of her kitchen. “The orders started rolling in, so I started working the Buffalo and Salamanca Farmer’s Market circuit,” she said. “Quickly I outgrew my home kitchen and knew I needed a bigger place.” Coe’s father owns Magara Refrigeration and he does a lot of work at the restaurants in Ellicottville. “I was driving by one day and noticed Weed Ross Agency had moved and thought that could be a good place and had my father reach out to the landlord and introduce us.” Coe got into the space Sept. 1 and doors opened Sept. 28. It is remarkable the transformation this space underwent. “In the first four days, we sold over 2,000 cupcakes,” Coe noted. Aside from cupcakes, you can find work from five local artists.

Wallachia in 1835. They are the gendarme Costandin and his son. Together they are searching for a gypsy slave who has run away and is suspected of having an affair. While the unflappable Costandin comments on every situation with a cheery aphorism, his son takes a more contemplative view of the world. On their odyssey they encounter people of different nationalities and beliefs: Turks and Russians, Christians and Jews, Romanians and Hungarians. Each harbors prejudices against the others which have been passed down from generation to generation. And even when the slave is found, the adventure is far from over. A comedic portrait of comically inept officials, Aferim! will be screened on Friday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. at the Mongerson Theater located at 37 North Buffalo Street, Springville, NY 14141. Tickets are $5 at the door. Call (716) 592-9038 or visit SpringvilleArts.org for more information. Nature + Art Walks Nature + Art Walks, designed for children ages five to twelve, are returning this fall, organized by Springville Center for the Arts. These adventurous walks inspire big ideas in the little people. Two different guides will lead their own walk at a different

location. Parents stay with their children during the walk and siblings are encouraged to participate as well. Each walk pairs a simple art activity with the surrounding natural beauty. Join local artist Judy Wright at Griffis Sculpture Park as she teaches participants about different wildflowers and how to start your own drawing journal. Hike the paths throughout the park and discover the sculptures. Bring a pad of paper, a black fine point marking pen, and a pencil with an eraser. Families should meet at the top of the hill off of 219. The program takes place on Saturday, Oct. 7 from 10 a.m. to noon. The second Nature + Art Walk pairs artmaking, fire and a the Sycamore Reservation. A former scout camp, Sycamore Reservation is 400 scenic acres in Zoar Valley dedicated to outdoor education. After a hike, artist Damon Hudac will work with the participants to create temporary sculptures using scrap materials that then become bonfires. Hudac is known locally as the creator of the art golf cart featured in past art crawls and the leader of the raucous Toad Meadow art events. Families should meet at the pavilion on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to noon at 10676 Hammond Hill Rd., East Otto, NY 14729. To register for one or both of these Nature + Arts Walks, please call (716) 592-9038. Cost is $5 per student per session. Payment can be cash or checks made out to Springville Center for the Arts and will be collected at the start of the walk. It is encouraged to bring a bag lunch to enjoy with your family at the completion of the walk. For more information or directions to the sites, call (716) 592-9038. These Nature + Art Walks are part of Changing Seasons: The Byway Experience programs happening at Springville Center for the Arts through Nov. 18.

Perseverance Still Exists

By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

Sometimes things take place in communities, large and small, that deserve to be recognized. If you’ve ever read my articles in the past, you know that I typically write about things like commitment, group ﬁtness and nutrition. Today I am going to give all of those things a face— and an inspiration. I have had the pleasure of knowing a young man named Ryan Metzger for the past 2+ years. When I met him, he was a fourth grader who would come to my studio with his mom while she took a ﬁtness class or trained with me one on one. Ryan, who is tall for his age, was always polite, but when we would encourage him to join us in our workouts, he typically declined because he was more interested in the game he was playing on his hand held device. Ryan also worked with an occupational therapist at school to assist him in developing coordination. Fast forward to the tail end of fourth grade. Ryan got involved in a travel soccer program and a touch football camp. Without missing a beat, Ryan, with the help of his parents, attended and played for both. Shortly after the touch football camp ended, Ryan began asking his parents if he could play little league football. Ryan’s dad had played as a youngster, so Ryan wanted to give it a try. Now, back to reality… Ryan was 10 years old and 20 pounds over the weight limit to play little league. However, that did not deter this young

man from signing up on Aug. 1, 2017. As a former parent to two little league football players, I can tell you that signing up for this sport in no joke. The kiddos practice every weekday from 6 to 8 p.m. and in the beginning, some Saturdays too. Games are weekly and if you are not a dedicated kid and parent, this equation simply does not work. Days went by, weeks went by when Ryan was too heavy to run plays with his teammates, so instead watched from the sidelines or ran in full gear around the park. There were times when his coaches said he lagged behind and could have done better and so his parents would take him home and run with him to help him improve. And, make no mistake, Ryan’s coaches and teammates never

gave up on him either because each and every week Ryan dropped weight, he got faster and he ran plays with his team and he didn’t give up. Two weeks ago, Ryan was 6 pounds away from his goal weight. This past Sunday, Oct. 1, 2017, Ryan hit his goal weight and played in his ﬁrst Pee Wee game. His teammates, coaches, other parents and bystanders cheered and Ryan felt amazing. To Ryan, his parents and everyone involved, this was not about football. This was about something so much bigger. This was about setting a goal, working hard and achieving that goal. This was about a 10-year-old boy changing his course. He didn’t do it alone. I cannot tell you how proud I am of his parents. They never pushed, but they did encourage. They helped him make healthier choices with his diet and his spare time. Ryan runs now and eats smarter. He did not do any of this because he was told or because he wanted to hang out with some friend on the team. Instead, he did this because he is Ryan Metzger. He walks to his own drum and still loves video games. Too often, we focus on what is wrong with a sport or choices others make. I thought it was time we focused on something refreshing. Something that, if I did not witness it with my own eyes, I may not have believed. Perseverance still exists. Dedication still exists and positive results still happen when you follow the right path.

Preserving Herbs By Pam Jones, Master Gardener Volunteer, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Allegany County

The leaves are turning color, reminding us that the summer growing season is coming to a close. You have probably thought of preserving the fruits and vegetables that you have grown; making jams, jellies and freezing or canning the vegetables such as tomatoes, zucchini, corn, garlic and onions to name a few, but have you thought of preserving your herbs? There are several different ways to do this. You can put the garden herbs in pots and bring them inside on a sunny window sill or start things like parsley, cilantro, basil or marjoram from seed in the house. Remember, at the ﬁrst frost in your outdoor herb garden, basil will turn black and die. Rosemary does not over winter in our area, but will do well inside and you will have fresh rosemary for use all winter. There are several other methods as well. Drying: My grandmother used to hang things in the attic where it was dry and dark. I do not have an attic but I have an upstairs hall without windows and I set up a clothes drying rack with a sheet underneath to catch any fragments that drop. Mid-morning is the best time to pick your herbs - the dew has had a chance to evaporate and if you wait until later the heat of the day has sapped the plant. You can wash and gently dry them, I usually do not as I grow my herbs organically, but you can. Place the stems in small bundles leaving plenty of room for air circulation. I use a rubber band placed under the bundle and bring the loops up with one loop going into the other and hang them on the rack using either an opened paper clip or a clothes pin. What about string you ask, I used to do this, but as the stems dry and shrink, the string remains the same size leaving partially dried plant material on the ﬂoor! You will need to check the herbs every few days to see how they are drying. Herbs with thick leaves like rosemary will take longer than something like cilantro. If you do not have a dark place (this keeps the color bright) you can take a brown paper lunch bag, cut some slits in it for air circulation and place the herbs inside and use the rubber band around the neck of the bag. Microwave: Drying can also be accomplished in the microwave. Be sure the herbs are dry and place them between two layers of toweling. Set the microwave on medium for 30 second intervals and check to see if the herbs are dry. This will not take very long and if you do not check carefully

you can burn the herbs very easily. So, what kind of toweling should you use? I use cloth dishtowel pieces or cotton handkerchiefs. I tried this with paper towels and had a memorable experience. After one round of microwave drying, the paper towel burst into flames. Attention getting! Apparently some brands have some metal fibers in them, which is also why you should not clean your glasses with paper towels. Rather than research which brands of towels were safe, I just do not use them for this. Solar: Another way of drying is solar drying. Temperatures need to be warm with low humidity for this method, about 100 degree and less than 60% humidity. You spread the herbs out on a screen not in direct sunlight or the color will fade. The screens make it simple to bring them in at night. You can also dry herbs under the windshield or back window of your car on screens on a hot day. You can also use the refrigerator for drying. Just put the unwrapped herbs in the fridge and leave them alone. They will retain color and texture this way. Check daily to determine if they are dry. One problem with this method is that unless you have a commercial refrigerator, you will not be able to dry many herbs at a time with this method. If you do have a commercial refrigerator, you are probably using it for other things. Sometimes the refrigerator is too moist and the herbs mold instead of drying. Oven: The oven can also be used for drying herbs. Unfortunately this is not very cost effective or energy efficient. Oven temperatures should be about 100 degrees for this and most ovens cannot be set that low. Drying herbs also need air circulation so if the oven does not have vents, there will be little circulation available. If you want to try this method, get an oven thermometer to see how low the temperature will go. You can also prop the door open with a stick or wooden spoon to allow some air circulation. You will need to check the herbs frequently to prevent burning. I have never tried this method as I do not turn the oven on in the summer—too hot! Dehydrators: Don’t forget you can purchase a dehydrator. This is especially useful if you are drying a lot of herbs. You can dry large quantities of herbs in a short time, 24 hours or less on some herbs and 2 or more days with herbs that are moister and/or thicker skinned. Each dehydrator will have instructions on temperatures that are best for herbs, fruits,

meats, etc. Herbs are usually dried in a dehydrator at 95 – 105 degrees Fahrenheit. There are relatively inexpensive dehydrators for the beginner (below $100.00), but if you are going to get serious and you like buying American made products you might want to look at the Excalibur that has wonderful options and can dry your herbs very quickly and with great results. Freezing: Herbs can be chopped and frozen in a small amount of water in an ice cube tray. When solid, remove the cubes and store in a freezer bag. Don’t forget to label the bags with the herb name and date of freezing. These cubes can be added to soups or stews, no defrosting necessary but you will have the fresh taste of herbs in the winter without the cost of store bought ones. A friend of mine freezes the stems of parsley separately and uses them to make stock, removing the stems when finished. Another method is to add the chopped herbs of your choice to softened butter. You can form the herb butter into a roll using parchment and freeze it slicing off just the amount you want to use on steaks or chops, just like in the fancy restaurants. You can also place the butter/herb mixture into ice cube trays and freeze as above. When you are sautéing something, just put the frozen cube or slice into the skillet, allow a few extra minutes for it to melt, and then proceed with sautéing. Herb Salt For those of you who attended last summer’s Herb presentation in Alfred, Mary Harris provides this recipe to participants that everyone loved. From Allrecipies.com Ingredients: ½ cup coarse sea salt another cup of sea salt ¼ cup packed each lemon thyme leaves and rosemary leaves (any herbs of your choice can be substituted). Place ½ cup salt and herbs in the food processor. Pulse until the herbs are ground to a fine consistency. Add the remaining cup of salt and pulse to combine. Spread mixture on a baking sheet and allow to air dry for at least 2 hours. Package salt in glass bottles. This makes a delicious gift. If you want to learn more about herbs, come to our Herbal Remedies for the Winter Months Workshop on October, 26th at the CCE Belmont Office at 5:30-7:00PM.

Visit Kinzua Bridge State Park With Audubon on Oct. 11 Built in 1882, the Kinzua Bridge was an engineering marvel built to move trains across Kinzua Creek. Now the Kinzua Sky Walk, it continues to marvel visitors today, with a glass-ﬂoored overlook and an expansive view. You are invited to travel in the Audubon Community Nature Center van to Kinzua Bridge State Park in Mt. Jewett, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, October 11, 2017. The van will depart from the Nature Center for the hour-long trip at 10 a.m. In this park with its interesting natural and human history, you will be able to walk out along the old Kinzua Viaduct until you are standing 200 feet above the surrounding valley during peak autumn color. A recently added interpretive building makes a high tech addition while staying true

to the history of the site. It is chock-full of entertaining exhibits, short movies, and more -- the perfect example of that place where human engineering and nature meet. An optional hike down into the gorge will be included for those who wish it. Non-hikers can explore the visitor center and bask in the glory of autumn until the hikers return. After enjoying the exhibits, learning about the bridge, and taking a walk out onto it, the group will have a BYO brown bag lunch before returning by 3 p.m. Since the wind can be chilly on the bridge, participants are advised to bring extra layers of warm clothes walking shoes, and a lunch that does not need refrigeration. Binoculars, camera, and hiking poles are optional. Rick Rupprecht, the host for the trip, is retired from the

positions of director of aviation and professor of mathematics at Jamestown Community College. An active Audubon volunteer, Rupprecht leads children on discovery walks, presents programs for groups as an Audubon Ambassador, helps at festivals, presents a workshop on making maple syrup, builds things from wood for displays and exhibits, and more. For information about the history of the Kinzua Bridge and to see a video, visit visitanf.com/kinzua-state-parksky-walk. Space is limited. Cost is $48 or $36 for Nature Center members. Reservations with payment are required by Thursday, October 5, 2017: Call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or register online on the Programs page at auduboncnc.org.

homecoming ever,” he said. Ploetz also reported seniors were in the early stages of planning a shorter, closer to home senior trip to the Lake George area in May. Board members encouraged further planning. The senior class has struggled in the past few years to ﬁnd trips the seniors would

go on, Ploetz said. They are looking at a Saturday through Monday trip with chaperones before Memorial Day. At the recommendation of Superintendent Robert Miller, the board approved trips by the French Club to Quebec in the spring and to Washington, D.C., by the eighth-grade class in June.

Ploetz said he had approved a trip by members of the French Club to the Buffalo Peace House, where former residents of the Frenchspeaking Congo are living. The students will help in translating. The high school/ middle school principal also said he plans to start a brown bag lunch series for students, with details to follow, and has permitted a senior lounge in the home economics department classroom during lunch. “It has a feel of a college campus,” Ploetz told the board. “They appreciate the trust I was placing in them.” The next ECS Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m.

‘Origin’ by Dan Brown Robert Langdon arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions have made him a renowned global figure.

Balloons Music Feature: Golden State Lone Star Revue Appearing Oct. 19 Electro-Fi recording artist Golden State Lone Star Revue featuring Anson Funderburgh (guitar), Mark Hummel (harmonica/vocals), Mike Keller (guitar), R. W. Grigsby (bass) & Wes Starr (drums) will be appearing Thursday, October 19, 2017 Balloon's Back Room, Ellicottville, NY. Preview Golden State Lone Star Revue's debut CD: https://soundcloud.com/ markhummel/sets/new-privateplaylist-10/s-eXP9G, "one of the most accomplished and enjoyable ensembles playing the Real Deal Blues today." (Dick Shurman) Blues supergroup Golden State Lone Star Revue, is an all-star cross country melding of California musicians Hummel and Grigsby with Texans Funderburgh, Keller and Starr. Golden State Lone Star Blues Revue's self-titled debut album (Electro-Fi Records/April 2016), was recorded by Kid Andersen at the famed Greaseland Studio in San Jose, CA, and co-produced by Funderburgh & Hummel. “The road from Texas to California runs right through T-Bone Walker, no detours about it.” Since Walker packed his guitar and moved there in the 1940's, what is termed as West Coast Blues revolves around a style he deﬁned. All respected instrumentalists in their own right, this collaboration is a premium showcase of West Coast Blues. The guitar interplay is tasteful and they give each other room. The spotlight of course will shine on Hummel as vocalist, but he wisely integrates himself in the band for the reliable blues band situation. As this music continues its generational journey, the Golden State Lone Star Blues Revue represent the contemporary keepers of the ﬂame, assuring the blues will never die." (James Nadal/All About Jazz) Anson Funderburgh hails from Plano,TX where the youngster picked up guitar. In high school Anson got bit by the blues bug thru Jimmy Reed, B.B. King & Freddie King. He backed Lightnin' Hopkins twice in the '70s. By 1978 Anson formed Anson & The Rockets w/ vocalist & harp player Darrell Nulish, who were signed by Black Top Records a couple years later. In 1986 Darrell was replaced by Blind Sam Myers who stayed till his death in 2006. The Rockets went on to win 10 Handy Awards (Blues Music Awards). After Sam's death, Anson

Inside Look at the New Law Ofﬁce of John C. Nelson By Caitlin Croft

took a seven year hiatus from performing to devote to his new family. Four years ago Funderburgh resumed performing with both the Rockets & Eric Lindell Band. Funderburgh has performed w/ Boz Scaggs, Delbert McClinton, Snooks Eaglin, Grady Gaines, Earl King & Jimmy Buffett. Anson is also the inspiration for Beavis (Beavis & Butthead -- former bassist/cartoonist Mike Judge worked as a Rocket for three years.) "None of the younger crop of blues guitarist come close as Anson does to achieving the classic Stratocaster tone deﬁned by Otis Rush in the '50's and Magic Sam in the '60's. The Rockets have landed and Anson is at the bridge." (Guitar Player) Harmonica man/singer/ songwriter/bandleader/author/ impresario Mark Hummel was born in New Haven, CT but moved to Los Angeles as a newborn. Hummel took up an interest in blues harp & rock-blues music in high school but soon discovered the originators like Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson & Little Walter. Soon after, Hummel frequented the Ash Grove club on Melrose Ave. in LA where he saw (in a three month period) three blues legends he would later work with on a regular basis; Charlie Musselwhite, Brownie McGhee (w/Sonny Terry) & James Cotton. Hummel moved to Berkeley in 1973, because of a more lively blues scene and started to perform regularly in ghetto clubs with many old timers. In 1976 he formed The Blues Survivors with Johnny Waters and JJ Bad Boy Jones. JJ left in 1977 and was replaced by Sonny Lane. This band lasted till 1981, when Hummel would go full time with music. By 1985 Mark Hummel's

Blues Survivors hit the road full time & continue till the present (Hummel's memoir, "Big Road Blues: 12 Bars on I-80" recounts many road exploits). In 2014 Blind Pig Records released "Remembering Little Walter" (a recording of a Hummel Blues Harp Blowout.) The CD was nominated for a Grammy Award and won two Blues Music Awards. Hummel's latest CD "The Hustle Is Really On" features GS/LS. "Mark Hummel came of age in the early 70s, at the height of rock and roll,like many of his peers went and bought a harmonica and hasn't stopped playing since. A specialist in West Coast Blues he's a seasoned showman who knows more than a thing or two about how to please an audience." - (The New Yorker) Guitar youngblood Mike Keller resides in Austin where he's led his own band The Keller Brothers, plays in Little Elmo Blues Band, a sideman for Paul Oscher's group plus did ﬁve years as a Fabulous Thunderbird, recorded and toured with Marcia Ball for a year and a half and toured with the late harp genius Gary Primich. Mike's solos are top notch in Golden State-Lone Star. Rounding out the Golden State-Lone Star Blues Revue Are Rw Grigsby on bass & famed Austin, Texas drummer Wes Starr (Anson And The Rockets). Between these two old Rome, GA natives, they've played with a who's who of famed musicians - Omar & the Howlers, Jr. Brown, Jimmy Vaughan, Asleep At The Wheel, Gary Primich, Kim Wilson, Mike Morgan, Carlene Carter, Hal Ketchum, Earl King, James Cotton & many more!

The Law Office of John C. Nelson recently moved their location from Monroe Street to Washington Street located in the Historic Ellicottville Inn Building. Their new aesthetic is speak-easy meets industrial chic; Nelson is reinventing the notion of “going to see my lawyer.” I entered Nelson’s office through a hidden door, one of the many concepts used in the space, to sit down with him and hear all about the move. This warm inviting space is filled with rustic Barnwood and industrial steel. The cathedral ceiling is crowned with old law books that were donated by John Northrup, as they were his great grandfather’s. The cubicles are divided by sleek, white, giant LEGOs, yes you read that right—LEGOs. In the conference room, you will find an antique breathalyzer and a handmade arcade cabinet by 4-B Woods that plays ANY arcade game. Nelson recently took on another associate to grow his practice. “In just under three years, I have gone from just myself to five employees,” he

said. Nelson’s practice revolves mainly around D.W.I.’s and D.U.I.’s, but he does do other trafﬁc violations, criminal law and practices civil litigation, “but anything boring I kick to Kathleen,” Nelson jests. Kathleen Moriarty is another attorney in town whom his old ofﬁce was next to. Nelson recently penned the new NYS DWI Defense Forms

book that was published by Tomson Rueters. This is a book with all the forms that NYS DWI Defense Attorneys will use. Nelson’s hours are 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday – Friday but he notes he does have emergency hours due to the nature of his business. You will ﬁnd the practice at 8-10 Washington Street in the Village of Ellicottville. The entrance is on the side of the building and you will not be able to miss the beautiful concrete step with a stamped compass rose. If you are strolling through Ellicottville, be sure to check out his new Halloween display in the windows. “I cannot wait to regain my title for the Christmas Display Competition; this year I have so many more windows to dress up. Be ready!”

#PrayforCaeden #Little Eagles56

The following is from the GoFundMe page: On Saturday, Sept. 23, Caedon went to his Cattaraugus County Midget Football League game as he did every other game of the season. This game was just like the rest, and so very different at the same time. With approximately 4:00 minutes remaining in the game, Caedon was placed in concussion protocol after nausea overcame him. As that symptom continued to worsen over the next few minutes, he was taken to Springville ER by ambulance to be assessed. Caedon was conscious, speaking, and stable and passed concussion protocol. He was observed by several coaches, an EMT and ER staff; however, the CAT scan results told another story. Caeden was suffering from a subdural hematoma and needed immediate care. Mercy Flight arrived within the hour and brought him to a team of neurosurgeons at Buffalo Women’s and Children’s hospital for the appropriate observation and treatment plan. After days of observation and ever-changing symptoms, Caedon reached a point where the symptoms were no longer just to be observed. After four days, on Sept. 27, something had to be done to relieve the pain and worsening symptoms. Caedon was rushed into emergency brain surgery to remove the clot and place a subdural drain to continue the release of pressure from ﬂuids. Recovery is hour by hour and as of press time, Caeden remains in the PICU. It’s important to the family for everyone to know that this was just one of those things. The injury was caused by a regular play: a standard tackle- no unnecessary roughness, no helmet-to-helmet hit. Every precautionary measure was followed as written and the CCMFL has rallied behind their boy.

Titans Play ‘Up’ to the Challenge in 52-14 Win

October 5-11, 2017

Ellicottville Times is the School District’s Ofﬁcial Paper

ECS ws

By Sam Wilson

No matter the competition, through five weeks the Franklinville/Ellicottville football team keeps rolling. The Class D Titans played up in classification against ‘C’ John F. Kennedy Saturday and piled up 596 yards of total offense on 56 plays for an eyepopping 10.6 per play. Never punting in a four-touchdown day for senior quarterback Brock Blecha, F/E ran away with a 52-14 victory. Starting 3-0 in Class D including a win over defending sectional champ Maple Grove, the Titans (5-0) earned their second non-league victory against a bigger school Saturday. “Thus far the kids have stepped up at every challenge,” coach Chad Bartoszek said. “I’ve got to say I was a little nervous about today just being a day game, a trip to Buffalo, we as a staff don’t like being off-schedule and different travel arrangements. But we did have an extra day of prep and it really showed in some of our execution up front early on. Our bigs gave us some room and as you can see, we’ve got some bigs who can do some damage with the football.” Blecha completed 9-of-13 passes for 209 yards and ran 13 times for 117 yards and three touchdowns. More than half of his passing yardage went to senior Austin Grinols, who pulled down a 56-yard touchdown pass and finished with three catches for 112 yards. Classmate Griffin Chudy led F/E rushers with 129 yards and two scores on 16 attempts and caught two passes for 46 yards. After starting at H-back last season, Chudy carved out an even bigger role in F/E’s backfield this year. He also helped spring a 50-yard Blecha touchdown run on F/E’s first play of the game. “That kid has worked hard,” Bartoszek said. “He’s definitely got a knack for making big blocks, we still love to use him as that but the kid runs hard, he is just a tough out back there. Every time he’s going to work and it’s tough to deal with. Then you see we can use him in the pass game as well, so we’ve got multiple weapons, we like to try to be as multiple as possible. The key is just we’ve got to be selfless as far as our commitment to the team. Everyone’s got to be all-in together.” Junior Jacob Peters added 85 rushing yards and a touchdown

ECS Coaches Corner Girls’ Varsity Soccer, Coach Mary Neilon The girls varsity soccer team lost 1-0 to Randolph last week, and also to Allegany-Limestone 6-0. The girls varsity soccer team defeated Franklinville 3-0. Lauren Olejniczak scored the first goal after beating 3 defenders and the goal keeper. Evie Cortez scored the other 2 goals off of two beautiful volleys. Kayla Krzanak and Robin Freaney combined for the shutout. Awesome team effort ladies! Next action is on Thursday at home vs Catt-LV. on nine carries. Blecha and Peters made a team-high four solo tackles each and Grinols had an interception. Walter Woodarek made a stop at the 1-yard line for a safety in the third quarter, helping make up for a Blecha fumble at the goal line. For JFK (3-2), quarterback James Bailey threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns on 12-of-29 passing. The Titans held the Bears to 60 rushing yards to their own 387. Reaching the Section 6 Class D championship game the last three seasons and winning in 2015, the Titans have aspirations to return to New Era Field and beyond. “I want to go all the way we can this year, go undefeated through the regular season and all the way to The Ralph and even farther than that,” Blecha said. “I think this team can do it. We have the potential to make it all the way and it’s going to be a challenge. We’ve got to go game by game, we can’t look that far ahead, but I believe that with the people we’ve got and the energy on the football team that we can make it really far this year and I’m looking forward to it.” That perspective is just how Bartoszek likes his team to view the season. So while his team may dream big, he still wants to clean up its 110 penalty yards Saturday and a second-quarter JFK touchdown drive against the F/E first-team defense. “It’s our job as coaches to keep them as grounded as possible but allow them to be confident,” he said.

St. Bonaventure University Welcomes Four to Board of Trustees

St. Bonaventure University has welcomed four individuals to its Board of Trustees: Michael Anderson, Esq., ’77; Fr. Linh Hoang, O.F.M., Ph.D.; Fr. Daniel P. Horan, O.F.M., Ph.D., ’05; and Ann Swan. They will serve three-year terms, which began Sept. 16.

Michael Anderson of Berwyn, Pa., recently retired as vice president and treasurer at West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of pharmaceutical packaging and delivery systems, headquartered in Exton, Pa. He had been with the company since 1992. As VP and treasurer, Anderson managed the company’s retirement plan assets, valued at more than $500 million, and was chair of its Investment Committee. Prior to joining West, Anderson was a senior tax manager for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Philadelphia. Anderson graduated from St. Bonaventure in 1977 with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. He went on to receive his juris doctor degree from Villanova University School of Law in 1980. Anderson has been active as a volunteer with the university Philadelphia Alumni Chapter. Anderson and his wife, Monica (McEvoy), a 1978 Bonaventure graduate, have four children. Their daughter Molly received her master’s degree in integrated marketing communications from St. Bonaventure in 2015. The Anderson family is originally from Olean. Michael’s father, Dr. Joseph Anderson, was a physician whose patients included university friars and sisters from the Allegany Motherhouse. Seven of the 11 Anderson siblings graduated from St. Bonaventure. Michael has honored his parents with a gift to the university; the prayer room in the new McGinley-

Carney Center for Franciscan Ministry is named in their honor. Fr. Linh Hoang, a Franciscan friar of Holy Name Province, is an associate professor and chair of the Religious Studies Department at Siena College. Fr. Linh has published articles, books and book chapters in the areas of Asian American Catholics, Vietnamese Catholicism, comparative religion, migration, globalization, historical theology, and intergenerational religious practices. He is the author of the books “Southeast Asian Diaspora in the United States: Memories and Visions, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow” and “Rebuilding Religious Experience: Vietnamese Refugees in America.” Fr. Linh received a Ph.D. in theology from Fordham University, Master of Philosophy in theology from Fordham University, a Master of Divinity in theology from Catholic Theological Union, a Master of Arts in theology from Catholic Theological Union, and a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium.

Fr. Daniel P. Horan, a Franciscan friar of Holy Name Province, is assistant professor of systematic theology at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. He is the author of several books, including the awardwinning “The Franciscan Heart of Thomas Merton: A New Look at the Spiritual Inﬂuence on his Life, Thought, and Writing.” His latest book, published in 2016, is titled “God Is Not Fair and other Reasons for Gratitude.” Fr. Dan is the author of more than 120 popular and scholarly articles; is a frequent lecturer and retreat director around the United States, Canada, and Europe; and has previously taught at Siena College, St. Bonaventure, and in the School of Theology and Ministry of Boston College. Fr. Dan serves on the Board of Regents of the Franciscan School of Theology in Oceanside, Calif., and previously served on the Board of Directors of the International Thomas Merton Society, as the Catholic chaplain at

Babson College in Wellesley, Mass., and as a columnist for America magazine. He received his Ph.D. in theology from Boston College and Master of Divinity and Master of Arts from the Washington Theological Union. Fr. Dan graduated with honors from St. Bonaventure in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in theology and a minor in journalism and mass communication. In addition to several other recognitions, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by Felician University of Rutherford, N.J., in 2015. Two of his three brothers, Sean, ’07, and Ryan, ’17, are also Bonaventure graduates.

Ann Swan is executive director of the William E. and Ann L. Swan Foundation and an active volunteer in the Buffalo area. She serves on the boards of Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora and YMCA Buffalo Niagara. She is a past board member of the United Way of Buffalo and Erie County, Shea’s Performing Arts Center, Catholic Diocese of Buffalo Foundation and Gilda’s Club. She also serves on the advisory board of Hillside Family of Agencies’ WorkScholarship Connection, which aids at-risk youth. Swan served on the Board of Trustees at Hilbert College from 2004 until 2017, including as board chair from 2010 until 2013. She has been honored by her volunteer commitments in the Western New York area, receiving the President’s Medal from Hilbert College, the Bishop’s Medal from the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, and the Gaudete Medal from St. Bonaventure. Swan, who maintains residences in Clarence, N.Y., and Jupiter, Fla., is a graduate of SUNY at Buffalo and was a health and physical education teacher in Buffalo Public Schools for 29 years. The William E. and Ann L. Swan Business Center at St. Bonaventure is named for Ann and her late husband, Bill Swan, who was a 1969 graduate and former chairman of the Board of Trustees at the university. Ann Swan was awarded an honorary degree from St. Bonaventure in 2014.
