Enjoy loads of entertainment all around town, arts and crafts vendors, carnival rides, huge sales and much more all weekend long. Start your weekend off right Friday in the Village with the food court, from 6 to 10 p.m., and live music at the local hot spots. See schedule page 17. Heading into Saturday and Sunday, stroll the arts and crafts vendors lining the Village streets. Find that perfect gift for yourself and get a jump on that holiday shopping. The food court will be open, with lots of grub to choose from, and the young and young at heart will love the rides. Up at Holiday Valley, gear up for the season at the Mountain Shop Sale and the Ski Swap. Take a scenic chairlift ride to the top of Spruce or Mardi Gras, where you can enjoy a cookout and live music. More entertainment can be found at the Cabana Bar overlooking the slopes. If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, Sky High’s Aerial Park and Mountain Coaster will be open.

What’s New at Holiday Valley
A two-mile mountain bike “flow trail” was built, that starts at the mountain top and winds back and forth across the slopes to the base. This new trail, named Senear Valley, plus the Grinder trail that leads riders to the top of the mountain give riders access to the 34 miles of single track and logging trails in the state forest that borders

Embracing Change and Growth in Village
By Jann Wiswall
Things are always changing, and that is surely the case in Ellicottville, where opportunity, investment and solving problems are part of the fabric of the community.
Business Growth
The most visible signs of change are in the Village,
where three new businesses have opened to great reviews. Monroe Street Brick & Brew, a new brick-oven, gourmet pizza restaurant, was an instant success when it opened a few months ago, offering creative pizza and wing specials and a nice beer and wine selection. The restaurant offers dine-in,
carry out and delivery within a three-mile radius. On Washington Street, The Gin Mill opened a name-sake “Mercantile” shop next door to the popular dining and nightlife hot spot. It offers logo merchandise, as well as gifts, fresh baked treats and See Change and Growth page 6

and turn over one acre of land, and end up in the haunted barn which features a vortex tunnel. Nightmare Hayrides is located at 6319 Sommerville Valley Road, and open weekends only, through Oct. 30, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. For more info, visit www. nightmarehayride.com. For the ghost hunters, how about dinner and a sleepover at a local haunted house on Oct. 21? The Haunted Hinsdale House, perhaps the most famous haunted house in the area, has all the elements of a good ghost story: a mysterious history, strange sightings, unexplainable events and even an exorcism. Your ghost hunt at The Haunted Hinsdale House includes a pizza dinner, a brief history talk, ghost hunting vigils, sĂŠances, exclusive access to the basement and to the upstairs, use of ghost hunting equipment and more. For more info, visit www.ghosthuntsusa.com/ collections/the-hauntedhinsdale-house. Various other haunted events also take place here throughout the fall season. If haunted buildings are right up your alley, now’s your chance to discover for yourself if Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater is really haunted. At the annual Horror at the Hollywood, make your way through the old theater full of creatures from the night and scary passages throughout. This event will run Friday, Oct. 28, 6-9 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 29, 6-9 p.m., Sunday, Oct. 30, 6-8p.m and Monday, Oct. 31, 6-9p.m. All proceeds beneďŹ t the restoration of the Hollywood Theater. Admission is $5, and kids ages 5 and under are free. For more information, visit www. gowandahollywoodtheater. com. Read more about their restoration efforts, see photos on the progress and the inside of the Theater, and see what other upcoming events they will be hosting on the Hollywood Theater web site. Whether you prefer to be scared or just amused, there is Halloween fun to be had by all! Spend this October enjoying all the hauntingly entertaining festivities the area has to offer.
Starting Sept. 30, prepare to be scared as the Nightmare Hayrides return to Sommerville Valley. This spooktacular event is hosted by John and Karen Kent on their farm, which is also the location of the Ellicottville Rodeo. This year marks their 26th Halloween season offering the “scariest hayride� around. “That title was earned from the thousands of satisfyingly scared patrons we have had over the years,� says John Kent. They even earned a spot on popular Step Out Buffalo’s “Ultimate Fall Bucket List� for 2016. “We are now the only (haunted) hayride in WNY, as the other venues now only provide haunted barns and buildings.� Along with the hayride, you can enter a few other super-scary haunted features,
including the Gothic Chamber, Haunted Wooden Maze and the Haunted Barn, featuring the Vortex Tunnel. All activities are included in the admission price. “We have a few new features this year that we want to keep under wraps as not to take away from the scare value,â€? said John. “Some of the haunts are scarier than others and our patrons are not shy about telling us if they are not scared enough,â€? John noted. “This is the kind of feedback we love and makes our workers strive to get the perfect scare every time.â€? While you are there, be sure to ďŹ ll up on the homemade soups Karen prepares: corn chowder, cheeseburger chowder and chili are just a few of the featured soups. “People beg for the cheeseburger chowder,â€? John said. “We can never have
enough of it!â€? Along with the soups, there will be hot dogs, hamburgers, delicious taco in a bag and other refreshments. Nightmare Hayrides run every Friday, Saturday and Sunday night from 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. through Sunday, Oct. 30. Admission is $19; children 5 and under are free. Reservations are not necessary. Seven tractors run continuously and Kent assures us that “if there’s a line, we will keep going until every person leaves scared.â€? So stop by and help the Kent’s celebrate 26 years of spooks and scares‌if you dare! Nightmare Hayrides is located at 6319 Sommerville Valley Road. For more info, visit www.nightmarehayride. com.

Holiday Valley Beer and Wine Festival Nov. 11-12 Looking for something fun to do while you’re waiting for the snow to fly? Head to the 13th annual Beer and Wine Festival at Holiday Valley, Nov. 11 and 12. Friday night’s Beer and Wine Dinner, “The Bootleggers Ball” starts at 6 p.m. on Nov. 11. This event will feature several dishes prepared with and paired with unique and special brews. This year, the theme is the Roaring ‘20’sProhibition, so start planning your costumes now. Tickets are $69 for drinks, beer sampling and dinner. For information
on the meal, call (716) 6993968. Purchase tickets at ww.holidayvalley.com. On Saturday, Nov. 12, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., head to the Holiday Valley Beer and Wine Festival, which is legendary for great beers, wines and good times. The festival features 30 craft brewers with over 100 beers and wines from New York State and the region. All three floors of the Holiday Valley Lodge will be hopping with great music. The second floor will feature “Buffalo’s Greatest Party Band,” Hit N Run. Get your
dancing shoes on for DJ Gilroy on the first floor. And get ready to swoon to Michael Nugent’s dreamy voice in the Wine Cellar on the ground floor. Beer and Wine Festival tickets are $55 through Nov. 11 and $60 at the door (if available), and are on sale at www.holidayvalley.com and at Wegmans stores. You must be 21 to purchase a ticket and also to attend the festival. Each ticket includes a $5 food voucher for the Brew Festival food court.
more. The Daily Grind, the new coffee shop on Washington Street, retained some of the character of a former café in the same spot (notably the outdoor firepit), but has added some great new features, including a menu that has something for everyone, from meat lovers to vegans, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. In the town of Ellicottville, you might want to take the short drive out Rt. 242 to visit the brand new Ellicottville Distillery, where owners will show you how they use locally produced grains and fruits to make various vodkas and, in the future, gins and honey spirits. A retail space offers tasting flights and cocktails as well as bottle purchases. The distillery is open to the public Fridays from 4-8 p.m., Saturdays from 1-7 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. Also, be sure to put Pumpkinville on your to-do list this weekend (or come back next week!). The beloved entertainment and amusement venue is one of the Southern Tier’s most abiding fall destinations, offering games, activities and deliciousness through Oct. 30. This year, Pumpkinville has been named an official Peanuts Worldwide partner in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the animated film, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. And, to those who know and love the place, it’s no surprise that it was also named “one of the most sincere pumpkin patches in America.”
Resorts Both Holiday Valley and HoliMont have made and continue to make significant investments in their properties to enhance the resort experience for all visitors. Holiday Valley continues to put the finishing touches on new pedestrian areas created by last year’s realignment of Holiday Valley Road. Other projects include purchasing new automated snow guns, new equipment and upgrades for Sky High Adventure Park, new golf carts, grooming equipment and more. HoliMont also is investing in snowmaking equipment and infrastructure, and is improving some of its ski runs and operations buildings. Above all, both resorts

If you’re in the market, take note that Holiday Valley Realty and Rental Management’s headquarters has moved and is now located at the corner of Rt. 219 and Holiday Valley Road (across from the Inn at Holiday Valley). Most of the area’s other realty offices will be open extended hours over the long weekend, too. While you’re at it, be sure to ask your realtor about the two new housing development projects along Fillmore Street in the village, which are progressing nicely. The Glendale project, a townhouse community with nine buildings (18 units) on the east side, currently has four units constructed and available for showings. At Colton Corners, a half dozen of the 19 lots for build-to-suit single-family homes on the west side of the street have been sold. On Martha Street, 18 new furnished rental apartments and townhomes, called EVLofts, are under construction; owners will be showing a model home and offering tours on Saturday and Sunday during Fall Festival. In the town of Ellicottville, a new single-family home development off Poverty Hill Road called Trail Heights has broken ground and infrastructure construction is well under way.
School and Local Governments Ellicottville’s public school is off to a strong start with the largest student population (651 students in K-12) in 13 years. The school calendar is rich with curricular and extracurricular opportunities at all grade levels. Both the town and village governments of Ellicottville have been particularly busy this summer, as new projects have been approved and old projects are nearing completion. Both also have been working together to conserve and share resources for projects of importance to both communities, including
sharing the cost of the restoration of the Village Park’s tennis and basketball courts. Construction of the Village’s new wastewater treatment plant is essentially complete. This state-of-the-art facility is not only more efficient, but it was designed to be able to handle decades of new development in the village and in the town. The summer’s dry weather was ideal for road improvements, so crews are on track to complete repairs and improvements before the snow flies. Both municipalities have enacted laws that require property owners to obtain annual permits for their alarm systems and to keep them in good working order. Its intent is to ensure that fire and police are able to contact property owners if their alarms go off, either due to a true emergency or a false alarm. It is also intended to reduce the number of false alarms, which are a burden on local fire and police departments.
EVGV Trail Efforts to build a recreational trail linking Ellicottville and Great Valley continue. The committee has re-applied for a $1.8 million New York State DOT Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant to fund the first leg of a 15-mile network of multi-use trails. In the meantime, the trail board is working with a BOCES teacher and students to construct the trailhead structure near the entrance to the Nannen Arboretum.
Traffic Advisory Travelers should be aware of a year-long detour on Rt. 219 at the Erie/Cattaraugus County border. The old Rt. 219 Bridge was literally and spectacularly blown up in June. The detour carries local Rt. 219/Springville traffic between Miller Road and South Cascade Drive via new lanes on the 219 expressway. Expressway drivers merge into one lane each way for a short stretch before the expressway ends at Peters Road. Watch for new crossovers, exits, ramps and signs.

One Year in the Books for Villaggio!
By Caitlin Croft
In the back of his mind, Nick Pitillo always had a plan to pursue his dream. One year later, that dream has been actualized. With the warmest of hearts, Pitillo and Jeff Cooke, business partner and executive chef, are still in awe of the reception they received and continue to receive. “From day one, we had friends stopping by to lend a hand however they could and this was before we even opened the doors,” Pitillo says. Pitillo is an Ellicottville native who got a look at the restaurant business at an early age as his parents ran The Rusty Nail for many years before it closed in the early 1980’s. From here, he went on to work many years in the corporate food and beverage industry, managed family-owned restaurants, along with casino and resort restaurants. After years of working for others, he took a chance opening Osteria 166 on Franklin Street in Buffalo, NY. Once he had Osteria 166 up and running, he decided to try his hand as a restauranteur in Ellicottville. “Ellicottville is home to me, it just made sense for me personally and professionally to take a chance on a community that has brought so much joy to my life,” Pitillo said. “We knew Ellicottville would be a wonderful experience,” he continued. “We named the restaurant Villaggio (village in Italian) because we knew it would take a village to succeed.” Succeed they did, despite mother nature giving them a run for their money during their opening winter. “The community, regulars, old and new friends kept us going. It was an honor to have been received with such open arms,” Pitillo said. After Fall Festival 2016, Villaggio will debut a new menu and wine list, which will run until December. General manager Spencer Murray is hard at work to continuously bring new events and promotions to the restaurant. “I want to make

To many more years in Ellicottville, thank you!” were Pitillo’s final thoughts on this past year.

Skier Arrival Area
Last year, Holiday Valley changed the alignment of the access road to create better parking areas. (More than 1,000 trees and saplings were planted on the new access road.) To build upon that, this year, a new skier arrival area was constructed to tie in with the road. Besides making a great first impression, this arrival area will help direct visitors to the various services of the base area.
Improved Snowmaking
38 HKD Impulse snowguns were purchased, giving Holiday Valley a total of 608 snowguns. The new snowguns will replace older technology guns on Northwind and Cross Cut. Snowmaking will also be improved on Chute, Yodeler
and Champagne to allow the resort to build moguls on the east sides of these slopes.
New Hours
Holiday Valley’s night skiing hours will be modified for the upcoming season. Night skiing will now close at 9 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays, and will remain open until 10 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. Night lift tickets will be available starting at 3:30 p.m., versus 4:30 p.m. in the past.
Tickets
Lift ticket rates have been established for the 2016-17 season. A weekday 8-hour lift ticket is $59, a weekend 8-hour ticket is $72 and a night ticket is $34. As an incentive to Canadians, Holiday Valley will offer a 20 percent exchange rate on Canadian cash or check purchases at the resort
(excluding food and beverage). There are many seasonlong pass options for skiers and riders who plan to hit the slopes multiple times. Stop by Customer Service during Fall Fest open house and enjoy pre-season pricing on Ultimate Passes. (The deadline for purchasing passes at this price was Sept. 15 and is only extended during Fall Fest.) If you can’t make it then, be sure to grab yours by Nov. 1, when the next price break expires.
Holiday Valley targets the day after Thanksgiving as the opening day for the season. For more info, visit www. holidayvalley.com.

Outdoor Adventure Ski Back From the Future

Holiday Valley Resort. The Holiday Valley Realty and Rental Management office has been relocated to 6084 Rt. 219 in Ellicottville, directly across from the Holiday Valley access road. The beautiful building is centrally located and more spacious, plus it offers plenty of parking for guests.

people. The Telemark Motel is 129 steps from Holiday Valley’s Sunrise chair. The property offers a comfortable stay at affordable prices. The Wingate by Wyndham located in the midst of Ellicottville’s shops, bars and restaurants, offers wellappointed rooms with free WiFi, flat screen TVs, microwaves and refrigerators, along with a free breakfast buffet and a free newspaper. The property includes an indoor pool, fitness room, whirlpool, free parking, business services and handicap-accessible guest rooms.
Over the years, we have lost sight of why skiing was originally invented some 6,000 years ago, pre-dating even the wheel. The word “ski” comes from an old Norse word “skid,” meaning a board that slides. Skis were used for hunting and gathering and a means of social communication between villagers in distant communities. Skiing didn’t become a sport until the mid19th century; until that time, it was solely a very efficient mood of winter travel over snow covered terrain. Unfortunately, as the sport of skiing evolved, so did the sophistication and specialization of the equipment to the point that the original usefulness of skis as transportation has been lost, replaced either by snowmobiles or four-wheelers. Nowadays, skiing is almost entirely a recreational sport, but still has its usefulness for those that work and play in the outdoor wilderness. As a young’n, I remember my father going ice fishing, crossing lakes to secret honey holes not accessible by foot or vehicle, using only his old wooden skis. He would talk about using skis growing up as a boy in his native Estonia all the time. Before he could afford his first snowmobile, he always used his trusty skis to go ice fishing, crossing vast open spaces much faster than with a pair of snowshoes or on foot. The practice of using skis for ice fishing has almost completely disappeared, not because people have lost interest in doing so, but because they are now so specialized that they have become entirely impractical. For one, the skis are either too skinny or too short, and the boots are not useful except when attached to the ski. Standing around or trying to walk in modern ski boots on ice is almost
impossible without your feet freezing or you end up falling on your butt. After much searching, I found equipment that is not only practical, but may even be an improvement to my father’s handy old boards. By this time, you are wondering… “Why even bother, just go out and buy one of those highfalutin machines with skis and a motor, they’re just a few thousand dollars!” A few thousand dollars? That’s exactly why— plus all that noise, yuck! I discovered a special binding that allows you to use your everyday hiking boots on a pair of skis. How great is that? Now when you decide to go cross-country skiing, you can jump out of your car and strap on your skis without having to change boots. Whether you go for a quick trek through the forest or cross open lakes to your favorite ice fishing hole, you’ll have safe, warm and comfortable footwear. If you need to hike out because of broken equipment or stand around on a frozen pond waiting for a nibble, you are all set. The binding is called the Universal Pivot Binding, developed in Canada and goes for under $200. Of course, this is just part of the equation; you now need the right ski to go with the UPBs. With all the skis on the market, you would think it a simple matter to find a good pair of Nordic Touring skis for going off the beaten path. As I mentioned before, the skis I found were too short and stiff, ideal for Alpine touring or telemark backcountry skiers using stiff randonnée or tele boots with compatible bindings but slow, heavy and cumbersome on open and flat terrain. Conversely, a typical Nordic cross-country ski is designed to be used on a groomed trail and not for venturing onto a foot or more backcountry snow. These skis are way too
skinny to provide any sort of float over deep snow and are now much shorter than the first generation skis that topped 200 cm, making them even more useless. My ideal Nordic backcountry touring ski has to have a minimum of 60 mm under foot and be up to 200 cm in length to be 100 percent efficient and useful in deep snow. The tip of the ski has to be soft in order to float over snow, verses plowing through and under it, and have the ability to easily and quickly glide you over open lakes or fields. Too short a ski makes the ski tip too stiff to accomplish this. The ski doesn’t need metal edges, as this only adds weight. The ski needs to have enough camber under foot to glide forward, but also be soft enough to bite into the snow for the push forward. The Breidablikk Hunting ski made in Norway is such a ski. This ski has great specs, lengths up to 200 cm, 62 mm under foot, soft tip and weighs in at a mere four pounds, and is compatible with climbing skins for those steeper slopes. Coupled with the UPB and your comfortable, warm and well broken in hiking boots, you have something practical for under $500. To fully prepare yourself for backcountry adventures, include a supportive external frame backpack like the SJK Rail Hauler 2500 and carry a pair of Faber Winter Guide snowshoes (that incidentally work with those same trusty hiking boots) for those situations where the skis become long and gangly in tight situations or on steep icy slopes. With the pack and shoes, your backcountry budget is well under $1,000. Ask your local ski and gear shops about these cool products. Have an out-of-body experience and enjoy nature at its best, without spending a fortune.

“Not only do we have a new name, we also have a brand new format for our gala dinner and auction,” said Audubon Community Nature Center President Ruth Lundin. “With the addition of ‘Community’ to our name and all it suggests of relationships, fellowship, and shared values, we’re excited that ‘OctoberFEAST’ will take place right here at the Nature Center.” “Food, Folks, and Auction Fun” is the theme for the event on Saturday evening, Oct. 22, and the items up for grabs are definitely noteworthy. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for viewing live auction items, bidding on the silent auction, and enjoying the cash bar. From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., Shenandoah Valley BBQ and Miley’s Catering will provide the feast. Tapas food stations featuring a range of delicacies from chicken and local favorites to vegan dishes will be unveiled throughout the dining hour. The hilarious banter anticipated between the two board member auctioneers, John Beard and Nate Welker, guarantee an entertaining live auction beginning at 7:30 p.m. Silent auction tables will close between 7:45 and 8:45 p.m.
There’s a definite sports flavor to many of the live auction items. Jamestown Container Companies is providing four box seats and parking to a Buffalo Bills game, Harbor Club front row tickets for the Buffalo Sabres, and Cleveland Indians tickets. PNC Bank is offering their suite seats at Erie Otters hockey and Erie Seawolves baseball games as well as a Pittsburgh Pirates fan’s dream weekend: four Infield Club tickets each to back-to- back Saturday and Sunday games. If unique dining appeals to you, you can choose from a venison dinner, vegan feast, gourmet meal served on an Audubon pond, or dinner at Moon Brook Country Club after a round of golf. Collectors will want to keep an eye out for the Invicta watch, mounted turkey, coin appraisal, hand-crafted wooden items, and Qing Dynasty embroidered silk wall hangings. Want a new experience? There’s a tour of Chautauqua County parks guided by one of its namesakes, a day as a professional fisheries biologist, maple syrup-making lessons, and a night at The Oaks Bed & Breakfast Hotel in Jamestown
or Edwards Waterhouse Inn in Fredonia. You could have your portrait taken, in nature or with your pet. Planning a wedding, graduation, or family gathering any time? One hundred customized Whirley Drinkworks travel mugs, with the option for more, would highlight the event – or maybe you’d prefer donating them to a charity of your choice. There is still more – artwork, photographs, jewelry, a personal care basket, books, even a Vera Bradley ladies’ wallet filled with gift cards. You can check it all out at jasauction. weebly.com/auction-items. html. The Great Entertainment Raffle will feature tickets and admissions to a number of top-quality area performances and venues. Major auction items are provided by Gold Members: Jamestown Container Companies, PNC Bank, and Whirley Drinkworks. Reservation deadline is Thursday, Oct, 14, 2016.

It’s Fall Festival Time Again!
Ellicottville’s Largest Festival Back for 41st Year Ellicottville, NY – As if the leaves changing colors and painting the hills aren’t enough of a reason to come out and visit Ellicottville in the fall, the 41st Annual Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Fall Festival will take place Oct. 8 and 9, bringing 300 vendors, a food court, and a carnival to the streets of the village. The village stays rocking at night with music in the venues, and some of the best scenery in the region can be had on a chair lift. The largest, and oldest of the Ellicottville festivals really gets under way Friday when some of the food court vendors ďŹ re up their grills, skillets, hot plates, and fryers on Jefferson Street. The preview night of the festival will run until 10 pm. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll be able to ďŹ nd it at the Ellicottville Fall Festival. Come out and grab some great food to eat as you check out the vendors, displaying everything from crafty gifts, and manufactured goods. Buy that piece of art to make your home or ofďŹ ce complete, upgrade your ski gear at the ski swap, it all happens right here! All of the festivities get under way Saturday morning at 10 am, when the vendors open for business and the food on Jefferson Street is served! Kids can enjoy carnival rides in the Washington Square parking lot, next to Subway, at 11 am. The fun and festivities aren’t just in the Village. Head about a mile south, to
Holiday Valley, to take in the sights and sounds, even the cuisine, at what has been voted the Third Best Resort in the East by Ski Magazine. At 10 am, why not start the weekend off with a refreshing 5K run? Runners and walkers alike can participate in the annual Holiday Valley event. Registration can be found on the Holiday Valley website, under the Fall Festival page. Starting at 11 am, a chairlift ride to the top of Mardi Gras ($3) or Spruce Lake ($5) will give a great view of the fall foliage throughout the valley. Not to mention, each lift will take riders to great live music and food on top of the hills. Music and food will also be going on at the base of the hill at the Cabana Bar and John Harvard’s as well. Music starts at noon. The same thing happens Sunday, with the exception of the morning run. With all that’s going on, Sky High Aerial Park and the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster will be in full operation throughout the weekend. Call (716)699-4444 for details and reservations. Head just a mile west of the village and you’ll have a great vantage to enjoy North America’s largest private ski area, Holimont, before the snow ies. Holimont’s Exhibition Express lift will take riders up the hill on Saturday, October 8 from 11:30 to 4, for those looking for more than one view of the foliage. This year, Holimont will also be hosting the ďŹ rst HoliCross Cyclocross Race. Billed as a fun, challenging course that
will be chock full of climbs and zig-zags, it is sure to get the blood owing. Those that are interested in racing need to register with BikeReg.com at www.bikereg.com/holicross. Registration is dependent on the class you enter but ranges from $10 to $30. “Fall Festival is our largest, and oldest festival in the Village,â€? Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director, Brian McFadden, said. “It is, of course, an economic driver for the Ellicottville area, but the rest of Cattaraugus County beneďŹ ts from the weekend as well as we ďŹ ll most of the hotel rooms within 30 miles.â€? Looking for an easy way to get to and from Holiday Valley during the event? Take the shuttle bus. For $3 a person, riders will be taken from St. Mary’s Church, at the corner of Jefferson Street (Route 219) and Martha Avenue, to all points toward the Holiday Valley Main Lodge from 10 am to 7 pm. The shuttle bus then runs from the area on Washington Street near the Kwik Fill until 3am. Started in 1975 as a way to get people into the budding ski town of Ellicottville as the winter merchandise was coming into the stores, Fall Festival has budded into a festival that brings in more people than organizers can count and bolsters the village’s business base to keep Ellicottville the exciting yet quaint year-round village it has become.

Training as an Older Adult
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Cer tified Trainer
I hate to admit it, but I have been in the fitness industry for 34 years. Granted, I started out as a teenager teaching aerobics back in the 80’s when certifications were not so important and you made your own music mix by taping music off the radio. A lot has changed since then. Music can be pre-ordered and downloaded, certifications are a must and can be achieved in a variety of ways, and, in 34 years, my body has given birth, broken a couple bones here and there and needs extra time to warm up before I get into an exercise routine. I HAVE AGED… So, as an older adult, I look at strength training as an obligation to keep my body strong and injury resistant. Dr. Deborah L Mullen, a
researcher at Tufts University Exercise Lab, says “that strength training is a potent age eraser. It is their weapon of choice for fighting physical declines associated with aging. More and more fitness experts are recommending strength training for health reasons–for women as well as men, older adults as well as younger adults. Strength training is extremely important in combating the age-related declines in muscle mass, bone density and metabolism. It is an effective way to increase muscle strength and to shed unwanted inches. Strength training also helps to decrease back pain, reduce arthritic discomfort, and help prevent or manage some diabetic symptoms.” At Tufts University, researchers also found that strength training can add bone density. Prior to this research, it was thought that women might be able to slow their bone loss, but not increase their bone density. This new study shows that strength training at any age can actually add bone, not just slow its loss. Strength training, when done properly, can make you feel like a strong machine. However, if
there are exercises that are done incorrectly or are too difficult for your joints or back, injury can result and sideline you from your healthy experience. According to Dr. Mullen, “sensible strength training may be one of the best ways to get relief from your arthritis. Not only will it help to lubricate and nourish the joint, strength training will also strengthen the muscles around the joint, providing it with greater support.” Strength training is critical for combatting frailty and disability, for increasing strength and mobility, and for staying active and selfsufficient. Research has consistently shown the fitness and health benefits of strength training for older adults. You don’t have to decline with age! You can control these declines or even reverse them with strength training—it will have a great impact on the quality of your life as you grow older. If you want to stay fit, trim, strong, mobile, and physically independent as you age, then you should be strength training for 30 minutes, twice a week. There isn’t another investment that pays off as well.

Eagles Win with Double Victories Little League Teams Headed to the Playoffs By Stephanie Timblin
The Ellicottville Little Eagles are headed to the playoffs! Both the Midgets and Pee Wee teams secured Cattaraugus County Midget Football League “A” Bowl playoff berths with victories over the Randolph Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 2. Finishing the regular season with an overall 6 -1 record, the Midget team executed a 30-14 victory with touchdowns by Leif Jimerson, Ryan DeKay, and a career-first touchdown by Caleb Dubel. “We had another strong game led by the defensive line, including an exciting interception by Xander Ireland,” said Tim Grinols, head coach. After a rather difficult loss the previous week to the Salamanca Sabers, the Ellicottville Eagles Pee Wee team ended the regular season with an overall 5-2 record, and 21-12 victory over the Raiders. “I think the kids
were still sleeping Sunday afternoon. They watched the Raiders score on their first offensive play of the game; once they scored, we woke up and played pretty good football on both sides of the ball,” said head coach Mark Chudy. Touchdowns were scored by Owen Chudy, Xavier Peters, and Carter Smith. Extra points were run in by Carter Smith, Hunter Smith, and Josh Auman. Defensive efforts were led by Hunter Smith with eight tackles. Coach Chudy added, “The play of the game was a 45-yard touchdown by Peters and his blue squad. The kids were happy to get the W. They have never beaten Randolph and the coaches haven’t won a game against them in probably five years.” The Pee Wees will face the Franklinville Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 9 at 1:30 p.m. at Ellicottville Central School.

Mystery at the Library On Friday the 14th of October, Mystery Day, you are invited to a reception to introduce the newest art exhibit at the Ellicottville Memorial Library on Maples Road. Reception is from 7 to 9 p.m. All are welcome to look at the art work, meet the artists and enjoy the appetizers. Hung in the lobby will be portrait drawings of locals. Your challenge will be to identify those featured in the drawings. There will be a sheet for you to fill out with their names and your guesses of whose portrait you are looking at. Then leave your guess list at the library. Winner will be selected at the end of December so you’ll have time to ponder the portraits, solving the mystery: Who Are They? In August of 2008, a group of locals started meeting at the library every Thursday evening, drawing the figure and portraits to develop their artistic skills. Other locals volunteered to sit still for two hours – yes, they joined in the conversation — to have their portraits drawn. The group was started by Jennifer Widger and Barbara Fox, a professional artist who usually does still life paintings and landscapes. She also is a coin designer for the US Mint. Check your pockets for her coins and visit her studio on Mill Street to see her work and to watch her work. She was interested in expanding her skills by drawing people. Jennifer suggested they meet weekly, which they have done. Robin Vosberg and Lynn Timon were also there at the beginning. Robin has since
moved to Olean, but Lynn remains a faithful attendee. You all know Lynn’s artistic work. She has drawn the covers for E’ville Events since its start 32 years ago when there was no local newspaper in Ellicottville. Another early attendee was Urania Shakely, formerly owner of the Purple Doorknob Sock Shop. She has since moved to Bellingham, WA. Over the years, others have joined the group, including Carolyn Widger, Jenn Karns, Marcy Hazard, Sue Parsons and Leah Rusiniak, who comes less frequently now as she is busy caring for baby Daniel. When will he stay still long enough to pose? Currently, two other professional artists Robin Clark, a landscape painter, and
Elliott Hutten, a stoneware potter, have joined the group. Both have studios in East Otto. Robin’s is the Brookside Studio and Elliott’s is the HogShed Pottery Studio. You have probably visited their studios during the autumn East Otto Country Artist’s tour. Karley Brooks, a talented young artist and musician is also an occasional attendee. Many locals, as well as others visiting the area, have posed for the group. Come look at the portraits hanging from October through December in the library’s lobby and submit your guesses. The winner will have the opportunity to pose for the drawing group, with our usual payment and portrait to take home, all for sitting still. Hope to see you there.

drugs to this convenient dropoff site at the front entrance of BCH at 224 East Main Street. Medicines in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. This event aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.
Last April, Americans turned in 447 tons (over 893,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,400 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 11 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 6.4 million pounds—about 3,200 tons—of pills.

ECSNews Titans Fall in Class D Battle By Stephanie Timblin
The Maple Grove Red Dragons roared into Ellicottville on Friday, Sept. 30 to defeat the FranklinvilleEllicottville Titans in a 4312 victory. The previously undefeated Titans drop to 4-1 in regular season play. Austin Grinols led the Titans with 81 rushing yards on 19 attempts and two catches for 24 yards, followed by Brock Blecha with 74 yards, and Dooley Brennan who pulled down four passes for 60 yards total. “Friday was a tough game against a highly ranked opponent. We showed some good things but ultimately not enough to stay in the game. We’re going to work on improving in areas we fell short and hope for a bounce back against a good team at Portville on Friday,” said head coach Chad Bartoszek.

it home, leaving his young daughter at the home alone indefinitely. Some Springville residents have noted a little girl spotted standing in the widow’s peak of the house and roaming around, certainly awaiting the return of her beloved father. It is said that if there is anyone living in the house, she becomes displeased, and will
make herself known—turning off appliances, disembodied laughter, doors slamming, and you can sometimes hear a person run up the spiral staircase. Western House, Springville: Everyone in town knows the old Western House, but do you know the haunted history See Local Haunts page 8
New President Hopes to Revive Kissing Bridge By Dave Dahl
As he prepares for the upcoming season, Rich Fanelli brings a lifetime of ski resort experience to the top post at Kissing Bridge. Now overseeing the ski area, where he started his career at age15, Fanelli hopes to draw more skiers and snowboarders with a series of enhancements. Entering his 28th season at Kissing Bridge, the new president believes his experience will aide him as he leads the business during uncertain financial times. Following three consecutive “bad” winters, Fanelli plans to inject energy into the place where he began his career working in the ski shop. A 1985 Orchard Park High School graduate, Fanelli attended Erie Community College and Buffalo State College, where he majored in international business. He left the college in 1987 to work for Vail Associates in Colorado.
High School Parking Addressed
That experience cemented his interest in the ski business. “It just really was a defining point in my experience with the ski industry where I decided to stick around and get more involved,” he said. At Vail, he worked on the trail crew and in snowmaking. He also served as a concierge in the lodge and learned about public relations.
The Village of Springville Board of Trustees opened its Monday, Oct. 12 meeting with a series of public hearings amending on local laws. Local law 2016-5, Chapter 200- Zoning Section 200-84 (G)(2) was amended to state that zoning laws posting signs on lawns “shall not be set back more than 10 feet from the property or street line and shall be displayed for a period not less than 10 days immediately preceding the public hearing date or adjourning date.” Local law 2016-6, Chapter 77 regarding unsafe buildings, modified the chapter to state that legal proceedings on
whether a structure should be demolished in the interest that public safety would first come before the Village court instead of the NY State Supreme Court. “Other villages do it this way and it expedites the process dealing with distressed projects,” said Mayor Krebs. See Village Board page 8

Looking for a chilling local ghost story this Halloween season? Look no further… and perhaps you needn’t look any further than your own backyard. Here are some legends worth telling, with settings in the Springville area. Victorian Homes of Main Street, Springville: It has been rumored that some of the beautiful, striking Victorian houses on the main drag of Springville are indeed haunted. In one such legend, a house belonged to a veteran of the Civil War, “Mr. Meyers.” After the war, in 1880, Meyers had the house built for himself and his daughter. Meyers eventually left town to meet with colleagues Gettysburg, PA- only to meet an uncertain end, as he never did make the meeting, nor did he make

A Record-Breaking Night for the Griffs By T. J. Oakley
Last Friday, a great hallmark of the beginning of autumn, Varsity football homecoming night, played out like a scripted Hollywood movie. After a festive team-spirited day of school, the kids of Springville Griffith Institute gathered, along with parents and other members of the community, for the much-loved homecoming parade. Smiles gleaned from the promising faces of our

open for public use. Springville Mayor Bill Krebs welcomed the crowd announcing that the Village of Springville has been patiently been working since 2009 to transform this abandoned 19th century corridor into a multiuse trail for village residents. “The trail fits into our comprehensive plan and to all our smart grown initiatives
to make Springville a more sustainable and better place to live.” said Mayor Krebs. “We believe that someday this trail will link the Niagara greenway 25 to 35 miles to the north to Allegany State Park and Springville will be the trail head right in the center of it all.” See Rail Trail page 3

Local DJ Celebrates 30 Years On-Air By Jennifer Weber
Howard Boundy is your typical Western New York resident who loves the Buffalo Sabres hockey, Buffalo Bills football, local auto racing, attending car shows and camping. For the last 30 years, Boundy has been a staple of the Springville Area community, working not only at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital, where he met his wife Vivian, but also as the owner of the Boundy NASCAR Racing Museum and a photographer at Holland Speedway. Oh and in his spare time? He’s celebrating his 30th anniversary working for WSPQ AM Classic Hits 1330. WSPQ plays the “Greatest Music Ever Made� and includes NASCAR Racing, Buffalo Bills football and local high school sports programming. It’s the only station that reaches the multiple counties within the Southtowns and Southern Tier of Western New York. Boundy got his start in radio in 1986 by being in the right place at the right time. “I was working for a doctor who was the landlord for the radio station when it was back on Franklin Street,� said Boundy. “He needed someone to work the boards at the radio station; I was available and that’s how I started.� In the beginning of his tenure at WSPQ, Boundy worked at the station every Sunday evening for two hours and would play 33 1/3 records
of Dr. Demento for an hour, followed by the Weekly Top Ten and music by Weird Al Yankovick. “Yeah, that didn’t last too long,� he said, chuckling. Later he would cover the local high school sports play by play and the Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Bisons, NY Mets and NASCAR racing, and read the local news. “There were some times I read the same line twice, but for the most part, nothing crazy has ever happened on air.� A lot has changed in radio since Boundy started. “I’ve seen it all, 8 tracks, 45 records, you name it,� said Boundy. “The one thing that never changes is you have to look to the future. There’s never blank air; you always are looking

The radio station is currently building up their presence on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, keeping in line with the changes that other media outlets have been exploring over the years. It’s not just radio anymore. Boundy doesn’t anticipate leaving the radio station (or any of this other jobs in the community) any time soon. He enjoys doing the work, can do it well and sees himself there “until they ďŹ re me.â€? And we all know that’s not going to happen after 30 years of dedication.

Rail Trail Continued from front page
“(Springville) has a very clear vision for what a corridor like this can mean for the health, the quality of life and the economy of all of the communities along this line.” said Fran Gotcsik, Parks and Trails NY Senior Consultant. The Trail was funded in part by a $12,500 grant from the Springville-Griffith Community Education Foundation. “This (project) was a slam dunk for raising money,” said Grover Riefler, President of the Springville-Griffith Community Education Foundation. “We asked a
dozen folks for $1,000 bucks and put their names on benches and tables and not one person turned us down.” In addition to local and state funding, the trail utilized other recycled materials in order to complete the project. “It was music to my ears after talking to Ken (Kostowniak) from Public Works this morning to learn that this incredibly worthwhile project as done and completed in an extremely frugal manner,” said Erie County Comptroller Stefan Mychajliw. “Posts that keep vehicles out were actually
recycled from a local park and the trail itself is made from used recycled millings from local road projects.” “What you’re doing here in the Village of Springville as far as building your center is part of what we see regionally throughout Erie County,” stated Tom Hersey, Erie County Commissioner of Environment and Planning. “This is important to sustain our economy and build our communities.” For more information please visit www.ecattrail.org.

SGI Girls Tennis: Leading the Way
By Alicia Dziak
Eleven girls make up the SGI Varsity girls’ tennis team. The squad, comprised of one seventh grader, one eighth grader, one sophomore, two juniors and six seniors, is coached by Frank Noeson, a fifth grade teacher at SES. “Our biggest strength currently is our senior leadership,” said Noeson. “Our six seniors all hold a starting position playing for points. These girls have all had experience playing in close matches, and have the mental toughness to outlast more inexperienced opponents. A tennis match consists of five points. Three points Experience the are singles matches and two points are doubles matches. Emerling Difference! Whichever team wins three of the five points wins the match. Noeson explained that, “Each girl who plays a position SELECT VEHICLES for points in a match is key,” adding that these girls include: 1st Singles: Co-Captain Kaylee Timmel 2nd Singles: Lily Vanuga 3rd Singles: Kamryn Keys 1st Doubles: Jamie Slotman/ Co-Captain Lexi Tyger 2nd Doubles: Jessica Slotman/Julianna Kraft SCORE BIG WITH TOP NOTCH SERVICE The team has a busy schedule,

consisting of 19 matches/ tournaments/scrimmages. “We play matches Monday through Thursday both this week and next,” Noeson said. “East Aurora is our toughest competitor currently,” he noted. “They are a perennial power house in division IV. In our first match with them, we lost a very close one 2-3.” Noeson sees the team’s biggest challenge as consistency. The tennis team “Our team goal was to win the division IV championship,” Noeson explained, while “Individually, our goals are to advance our personal skill sets and improve on our weaknesses.” The tennis team next works toward these goals on Oct. 11, 13 and 14.

SGI Swim Team Bests Maryvale
Elle Holland Breaks Two Records
Last week, the Varsity Swim team captured another win against Maryvale 74-27, making the team 4-1. It was a big night for sophomore Elle Holland who broke two records. Her first event was the 200 IM. She swam this event a few other times this season and after last week’s East Aurora meet she knew all she needed was .8 seconds to take down the 10-year record held by Daina Bouquin in 2010. Attacking the turns was the focus of Holland and at the end of the race she looked up and saw her 2:23.33 time! Smiles radiated from Holland and cheers from her teammates and the crowd echoed to honor this amazing accomplishment. Quickly and humbly, Elle got out of the pool and back to the bench she went to regain focus on race No. 2, 100 back. Again, her last swim at EA she was .14 seconds away from the school record, and her EA time was already the pool record for SGI, so she knew one of those names was gonna come down! Finishing first again, and getting a time of 1:04.4 she took down the Pool 100 backstroke record. Congratulations to Elle! Your team looks up to you and supports you on all your accomplishments. Your determination and talent make them want to be better, and for that we are a better and stronger team. The girls had 21 best times against Maryvale overall as a team. Emily Schelemmer led off in the 200 medly relay dropping 1.5 seconds in her 50 back. Hannah Bergner swam a 200 free and continues to drop time with ever swim, dropping .3 seconds. Avery Boyles dropped 7 seconds in her 200 free also. 200 IM Holland dropped .6 seconds and Sydney Emley dropped .8 seconds. 50 free Lauren Ditchey dropped 1 second, Kierstin Komenda dropped .3 seconds (both girls with ECIC qualifying times), Katie Schelemmer dropped 1.1 seconds, Lauren Cosenza dropped 1.2 seconds, Samantha Yetter dropped 1.5 seconds, and Avery Boyles dropped .4 seconds. In diving, both Samantha Zifra and Shannon O’Hara scored higher and improved their dives in front of the crowd! 100 Fly Anna Lawton dropped .2 seconds. 100 free Lauren Cosenza dropped 2 seconds, Erin Jurkowski dropped 3.2 seconds and Lilia Dinse dropped 7.3 seconds. Kierstin Komenda won the 500 free and get her personal best time of 6:20 dropping 3 seconds. 100 backstroke Allie Lavanture dropped .3 seconds, Lauren Ditchey dropped 2 seconds (both ECIC times), and Samantha Yetter dropped 1.6 seconds. Andra Wissing from Germany swam lead off in the 400 free relay and dropped 7.6 seconds in her 100 free time!

Griffs Football Continued from front page
youth to the accomplished and reminiscing faces of those who were present for one of so many homecoming parades they’ve attended. The cool wind persisted throughout, but the feeling of joy and community carried across the town. The high school and surrounding areas again were packed with cars parked door-to-door and bumper-tobumper. From there, my boys and I walked to the entrance of Pop Warner Field, where we joined a large group, gathered to celebrate Springville and cheer on this year’s Varsity GrifďŹ ns, as they battled the Jamestown Red Raiders. As my boys and I weaved through the packs of happy people to our seats, we noticed that along with the alwayspresent honorable servants of the community in our police and EMS professionals, there was also a new set of vehicles inside the ďŹ eld conďŹ nes. The new, unusual presence here to witness the GrifďŹ ns homecoming game was Time Warner Cable’s live broadcast trucks, accompanied by the locally-famous announcers, Howard Simon and Sal Capaccio of WGR 550. The football game started shortly after 7 p.m., with Jamestown winning the toss and electing to receive. On their ďŹ rst play, the Red Raiders ran to the outside, but the Griffs sealed the edge and stopped the runner for a loss. The Purple and Gold were clearly pumped up and ready to go, but the Raiders came to the line quickly— running up the middle for an 80+ yard touchdown, stunning all in attendance, and giving Jamestown a certain moxy. Springville then stalled out on their ďŹ rst drive, and turned the ball over on downs. The opponent looked to capitalize. Jamestown used the remainder of the ďŹ rst quarter clock to drive down to inside the 5-yard line, poised to increase their lead: 14-0. That’s when the boys of Springville said enough is enough, and showed that they are bigger, stronger, welltaught, and want it far more than the competition. LB John Domes, DL Lexus Pollard, DB Marcus James, and LB Ian Baker forced the Red Raiders to turn the ball over on downs, and Springville hit back hard. On the second play from scrimmage on this drive, sophomore QB Bryson Black took the snap and turned quickly to hand the ball to star RB Ian Baker. Baker made one quick cut, broke two tackles, and then blazed down Jamestown’s sidelines, giving
their team an up-close glimpse of what the rest of the evening had in store for them. Baker took the ball 90+ yards to the middle of the end zone, where he beat the outreaching hands of a Raider defender. After DB James increased the lead to 16-7, Jamestown No. 7 Devan Jackson completed a 22-yard touchdown pass to No. 3 Tariq Strudwick. Springville received the ensuing kickoff, and began their ďŹ nal drive just inside their own 40-yard line. That’s when FB Ian Baker took an inside hand-off up the middle, then planting his right foot in the dirt and spinning to the inside around two diving Jamestown defenders. He broke up past midďŹ eld, and took the ball all the way down inside the 20yard line. With 22 seconds left before halftime, Springville ran with Baker down to the 10-yard line. As the pile cleared, the crowd fell silent as FB Baker remained on-ďŹ eld, clutching his ankle and in obvious pain. After being tended to by the great Griffs management team, Baker was helped to the sideline under the power of his assisting teammates, while doing all he could to keep weight off the ankle. With the crowd mute and 7 seconds on the clock, standout Senior RB Marcus James took the ball wide around the left side of the line and into the end zone for a 10-yard TD run, taking Springville into halftime with a 22-13 lead. The second half proved to be just as frustrating for Jamestown, as the GrifďŹ ns imposed their will upon the visiting squad. As Springville held and added to the lead, the attention of the crowd began to shift from winning and losing to the question: when will Baker break the alltime school record in rushing yards? The Griff’s offensive line continued to punish the Red Raiders, and then Baker put an exclamation point on
the evening with a 59-yard touchdown run that electriďŹ ed all in attendance, and solidiďŹ ed his accomplishments in school lore. Springville ended the game with a 32-21 victory, and improved their record to 3-2 on the season and remain at 2-1 in league play. Next week Springville will travel down Route 39 to the town of Dunkirk, facing the Marauders at 7 p.m. This is a league game, and both teams are 2-1 in league play. As the second to last game of the season, the GrifďŹ ns need a big showing to stay in consideration for playoff football. Olean held on to beat Pioneer in overtime last week, and have improved to 4-0. The last regular season game of the year is at home on Oct. 14 when the GrifďŹ ns face off against East Aurora/ Holland, at home on Pop Warner Field.

Soccer Girls ‘Pink the Field’ in October
Every year, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Section VI girls soccer as a whole participates in the “Pink The Field� campaign. Girls purchase pink t-shirts for $10, with 60 percent of the proceeds from the sale going toward charity. This year, it benefits the Kevin Guest House. The girls wear the t-shirts pre-game for every game in the month of October.
Coaches’ Corner
Varsity Football, coach Eric Jantzi, assistant coach Rob Valenti Last week, the GrifďŹ ns football team gave the large homecoming crowd something to remember, beating Jamestown 32-21. Early on, Jamestown (a team that won the AA state championship two years ago) made it look easy when, on the second play of the game, their running back took it 81 yards to the house to put the Raiders up 7-0. However, Springville was not having that when Ian Baker took it 93 yards for a touchdown and then took care of the 2-point conversion himself to put Springville up 8-7. From that point on, Springville never relinquished the lead. It was a memorable game for all GI fans, as they got to watch Ian Baker become the all-time leading rusher in school history. He rushed past Mark Rendell’s record of 2311 (set in 1996) with a 59yard run for a touchdown. Baker ďŹ nished the night with 318 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 32 carries. Senior Marcus James was once again solid on offense, adding 90 yards and two touchdowns on just 12 carries. Sophomore Bryson Black (the J.V. quarterback call-up) ran the show most of the night with both varsity QBs injured and did a great job managing the clock. The GrifďŹ ns took the second half kickoff and used the entire third quarter before eventually being stopped at the half-yard line. Defensively, senior middle linebacker and 3-year starter John Domes led the charge with nine tackles, six of which were solo tackles and three for a loss. He has also played a crucial role blocking for Baker over the past few years from his right guard spot. Senior Lexus Pollard and junior Andrew Lazarus were also stout on defense the entire night. Next week the GrifďŹ ns will travel to Dunkirk on Friday to take on the Marauders in a huge divisional game. Dunkirk’s only losses this season have come to undefeated Cheektowaga and Olean. The game has huge playoff implications. Girls Varsity Volleyball, coach Kristin Hughey Congratulations to the girls varsity volleyball team on another win against JFK on Monday. The team beat JFK in three straight games, bringing Springville’s overall record to 6 and 4, and a league record of 5 and 2. The team has headed into the second half of their season and plays three more matches this week. The girls look forward to a second chance against the Eden and Alden squads! Varsity Cross Country, coach Chad Russell, assistant coach Steven Dillsworth Girls take 3rd place and guys take 5th place out of 22 schools at the 78th Grout Memorial in Schenectady, NY The girls cross country team took home a 3rd place trophy at the 78th annual Everett T. Grout Memorial Invitational in Schenectady, NY. A very impressive day for the girls, as there were 22 teams racing. Sonya Krezmein took 1st place overall in the race, with Elle Russell coming in third out of over 140 racers in the varsity race. Samantha Fruehauf, Morgan Lukert and Gabbey Pfeifer ran gutsy races to help the team place in their second invitational this season. In the girls freshman race this weekend, Jaime Dickinson raced, ďŹ nishing in the top half of the ďŹ eld. The guys cross country team placed a very strong 5th place out of 22 teams. Kurt Uschold lead the way ďŹ nishing 18th overall with Zack Peterman and Nathan Myers close behind. Elliot Emley and Luke Waterman helped keep the team’s score low (a good thing in cross country). This could have been the strongest the guys team has raced this season, and things will look even better for the guys team because the team was missing two of their top four runners in the race this weekend. Brett Russell, one of the missing racers, raced in a freshman race at Schenectady, placing in the top 15 racers in a very strong ďŹ eld of over 100 freshman from both large and small schools. Overall this was a very strong day for Springville Cross Country. Girls JV Volleyball, coach Robert Gainey The JV girls volleyball team traveled to JFK on Monday night and came out with a tough 2-1 win. The girls cruised in the ďŹ rst game to a 25-13 win as Sara Ehlers and Abby Stressinger played well particularly in the back row. Game two was a different story as the team struggled on serve/ receive and made some mistakes, which led to the loss. Despite that, Mary DiGangi was a force at the net and Alyssa Hunter passed the ball extremely well. The girls took the decisive third game by winning 25-13. That game saw Ivette Lewandowski serve extremely well and Emily Ehlers passed well to help the team’s cause. The team is currently 8-1 on the season and has eight matches left on the year. Girls ModiďŹ ed Soccer, coach Alicia Dziak On Tuesday, Oct. 4, the girls faced neighboring Pioneer, losing 4-1. The Lady GrifďŹ ns’ lone goal was scored by Dru Robinson off a penalty shot. Despite the loss, the girls put in a good effort. They face Holland for the ďŹ rst time this season late next week.

If you’re looking to get involved in the community, volunteering is a great way to help your neighbors. With several local organizations to choose from, you’re sure to find one that’s the right fit. The Concord Historical Society holds several different buildings, all run by volunteers. First, there is the Lucy Bensley Center (LBC), which is a genealogy research library filled with local history and research materials to pour over. “Then there is the Pop Warner Museum that is also run by volunteers, who not only help set up the different exhibits, but also work as speakers and guides when visitors come to view the museum, ” says spokeswoman Jolene Hawkins, LBC research assistant. She continues, “The Mercantile, which is set up as a old store, has good old country music on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-9 p.m., where all are welcome to come and sit and listen. The store is also open to browse through, as well as checking out the little gift shop we have there with homemade items, books and more.” Hawkins also states, “The all-volunteer membership of the society works hard to make our area’s history come alive and not be forgotten. The Concord Mercantile, a re-creation of an old-time general store, has been wellreceived but space is limited; the Concord Historical Society has built a new addition, The Heritage Building, that, when completed, will let

folks stroll down Main Street Springville circa 1920-1960, past the Leland House, The Joylan Theater, Kuhn’s Drug Store, the medical office of painless dentistry pioneer Dr. Waite, The Schuster Motor Car Company of The Great Race fame, and even an old jailhouse.” They also run the Civil War museum, Echoes Through Time, on a volunteer basis. If your interest is keeping local history alive, please contact the Concord Historical Society at the Lucy Bensley Center via their website, www. concordnyhistoricalsociety. org, email lucybensleycenter@ gmail.com, or call (716) 5920094. Springville Center for the Arts (SCA) is a multi-arts center that actively engages people from our community, our region and beyond, through performances, exhibitions, education and other arts programs. As a catalyst for creative inspiration and development, SCA encourages direct participation in the arts by all segments of our community, including children, youth, adults and seniors. Volunteer coordinator Tracy Maybray says, “I personally feel the SCA is a huge asset to our community. I’m proud to be a part of it.” Whether you’re interested in getting dirty with construction or stage makeup, ushering or being on one of the many committees, they have a job for you! For more information on how you can help, contact Maybray at volunteer@ SpringvilleArts.org, or call Seth Wochensky at (716) 5929038. Springville Concord Elder Network (SCENe) is a program of Healthy Community Alliance Inc. They are a nonprofit volunteer-based regional organization that serves area seniors and their families. SCENe’s website states that the organization grew out of a grassroots effort by elderly community members of Springville, playing an
important role in helping people age in place in their community. They currently have needs in areas such as “sunshine” volunteers for special occasions, respite buddies (who receive training through the Alzheimer’s Association and work on the first Wednesday of each month, spending time with memoryimpaired patients and giving their typical caregiver a break), a hospitality receptionist, new garden club members, and more. For more information, contact Jennifer Mantione at sceldernetwork@ gmail.com, or call (716) 5927599. Love INC of Springville is an affiliate of Love INC National. Volunteers at the Love INC ministry clearinghouse screen clients, helping them with financial, emotional, and sometimes spiritual needs. Love INC then uses the extensive network of churches and social services to “help end the cycle of poverty,” from their website, which also states that one of the biggest needs at the moment is for volunteers to drive persons to and from medical appointments, agency appointments, etc. Rides are provided through the use of the Love INC car. At this time, drivers are all church volunteers from the network of the many active churches in the area. They also provide services such as a local food pantry, help organize Warm the Children during the winter months, gather school supplies for families in need, help with HEAP and other government applications, and assist in finding affordable or free medical care for at-risk clients. For more information, contact Wendy Cocca or any of the other volunteer staff at Love INC at office@ loveincspringville.com, view their Facebook page, Love INC of Springville NY, or call (716) 592-3761. All ages and abilities are welcome in the volunteer community. Even if you don’t know quite what you’d like to do, someone who would like to help is usually enough for organizations to bring a new member on. If you are part of an organization that’s looking for volunteers, feel free to send an email to info@ springvilletimes.com. Get out, get involved and make a difference— you won’t regret it!

Street, Springville was very different in the 1940s and 1950s. You had at least five gas and service stations. Springville was a mecca for small grocers, having two Danahy-Faxon stores, an A & P, Red and White and Benzings market. With the completion of the high level bridge in 1956, Route 219 followed Cascade Drive to Ellicottville.

In 1991, Fanelli brought that knowledge back to Kissing Bridge, where he became a sales representative. As part of his duties, he made the arrangements for schools’ ski clubs and attended ski shows. He earned a promotion to vice president in 1995 and executive vice president in 2012 before becoming the president on May 1. Fanelli replaced Mark Halter, who retired after spending 31 years at the helm. The board of directors promoted Fanelli because of his extensive experience, said William Magavern, the board’s chairman. “He is very well experienced in the industry and at Kissing Bridge,” Magavern said. “He is a high-energy, enthusiastic and creative leader. He’s just a team leader who produces.” Magavern also praised Fanelli for founding the KB Moto dirt bike events from May to October, which allow the ski area to generate yearround revenue. “He created summer business where we didn’t have it before,” Magavern said. Another new summer event series has been planned again for next year. Gowanda Harley-Davidson Bike Night, on the third Friday of each month from May to September, has tapped into a different customer base. Fanelli estimated the last event drew more than 900 motorcyclists. “KB Moto was kind of a vehicle to get us here,” he said. “It offered us exposure to a lot more of the population.” After returning from Colorado, Fanelli observed ski areas in Western New York offer more personalized service, as opposed to the corporate atmosphere of a large resort in a western state. “It’s kind of a grass-roots level here,” he said. Fanelli hopes to enhance that personalized service with some changes for the approaching winter. A revamped snowmaking system with 20 new snow
guns will allow more artificial snow to be created when the temperature reaches the low 30s with high humidity. Normally, those conditions prevent ski areas from making decent snow. “We dug into our system and looked into what’s holding us up at marginal temperature times,” he said. He expects the system to show a 30 percent improvement over previous seasons. “Everything has been tested multiple times to make sure we’re ready,” he said. Customers will also notice a new entranceway at the central area’s repaved parking lot with benches and a fire pit. Guard rails have been replaced and buildings have been repainted. For beginners, a Magic Carpet conveyor lift has been installed on the Candy Cane slope in the central area. “It tends to be a lot more efficient,” Fanelli said. To recapture early morning weekend business, a oncepopular lift ticket has been re-established. The “dawn patrol” ticket, valid from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, will be available for the first time since the 1990s, when the management eliminated it in an expense reduction. “That was actually our most popular ticket and it went away in the 1990s,” he said. In conjunction with the “dawn patrol” ticket, restaurants and lodges will open at 7 a.m. on the weekends. Weekend morning skiers may also receive free “quick tips” from instructors who will watch them ski and point out ways to improve. Night skiers and snowboarders will also benefit as Fanelli plans six Late Night, Great Night events, in which lifts will remain open until 1 a.m. on Friday nights. Kissing Bridge only offered three such nights last winter. In another change for night skiers, lift tickets may be purchased an hour earlier, starting at 3 p.m. Another lift ticket has been eliminated. The four-hour
ticket, which sold for $60 on weekends and holidays, will no longer be offered. The weekend and holiday unlimited ticket, valid from opening time to closing time, has been reduced from $62 to $60. Fanelli believes removing the four-hour ticket will reduce confusion. Some slopes have also been altered. Devil’s Funnel, named for its shape, became a terrain park several years ago. The slope will return to its previous status, while the terrain park has been moved to the Twister slope, which no longer has moguls. Skiers who desire moguls will still find them on World of Your Own. There is also a new terrain park for beginners at the top of the Holly slope. On the Moment of Truth slope in the north area, skiers will see a difference. “We’ve modified the pitch and at the bottom; it’s steeper,” Fanelli said. Skiers and snowboarders who want to check conditions may find it easier as Kissing Bridge has rejoined the Ski Areas of New York, an organization that reports ski conditions on its website. The ski area left the organization four years ago in a cost-cutting move. Those who check the Kissing Bridge website, www. kbski.com, will notice a new look after the ski area reveals its redesigned website in midOctober. The site will feature a new online store, events schedule and a downloadable application with trail maps. “Ease of navigation is the reason,” Fanelli said. With all the improvements and alterations, Fanelli hopes some customers will rediscover Kissing Bridge, which has experienced financial trouble in recent years because of lackluster winters. “We’re digging out of a hole,” he said.

“This way streamlines the process and saves money.” A property owner who doesn’t agree with the decision of the Village Board can then take the issue to New York State Supreme Court. The last public hearing approved the following Community Development projects to be submitted to Erie County for their annual CDBG Application: Franklin and Church Street Water Main Replacement Project (estimated cost $282,100); Central Avenue Water Main Replacement Project (estimated cost $375,964) and a request for funding for Rural Transit Support. James Bialasik, principal of Springville High School, spoke at the meeting, requesting that the village take a look at parking restrictions on side streets around the school,
specifically Smith Street and Eaton Street, due to the increase in student drivers. “We have 85 spots and 75 have been taken by seniors” stated Principal Bialasik. “I think it really comes down to our school district and the vast size of it stretching obviously out to Collins, into Colden, into West Falls almost to the East Aurora border.” Mayor Krebs suggested a committee look into this issue. Any change to the parking law will go to a future public hearing. On Friday, Sept. 30, representatives from Invest Buffalo Niagara (formally known as the Buffalo Niagara Enterprise) visited the Village of Springville for a tour with local representatives and the Chamber of Commerce. “Invest Buffalo Niagara covers eight counties and is

an organization that promotes businesses that come into our area from out of state,” said Mayor Krebs.“We are now connected with this organization with the goal to attract business to the Village of Springville.” Focus areas for Invest Buffalo Niagara include agribusiness, clean technologies and advanced manufacturing, In other news, the Village of Springville received a grant of $7,000 from Preserve NY, one of the five received in Erie County, to prepare an inventory study of properties located on West Main Street to include for nominations into the historical national registry. The Village of Springville Board of Trustee’s next meeting is Monday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. at 65 Franklin Street.

Civil War Society of WNY Holds Second Meeting By Derek M. O t t o
On Wednesday, Sept. 28, the Civil War Society of Western New York held its second meeting. The society was formed with the Echoes Through Time Civil War Museum. The goal of the Civil War Society is to offer speakers and events relating to the American Civil War. Thomas Place, who heads the group, opened with an update on the Civil War Trust preservation of the Chancellorsville and Wilderness battlegrounds. The Civil War Trust is only $50,000 from completing the $1.75 million preservation of the 355-acre site. The Civil War Trust is close to its Oct. 31 deadline and is just shy of the total amount. After the update, Mike Lavis of Blasdell presented on the life of the Civil War soldier. Lavis presented a variety of tidbits on the culture of the army during the war of rebellion. For instance, soldiers had their own language. “Going to see the elephant,” was the phrase that the soldiers used to describe going into battle. As Lavis explained, most of the soldiers came off from farms. The biggest thing they would have seen before the war was the circus coming to town. In his hour-long presentation, Lavis described medical issues
and some of the misbehaving and punishment that occurred in the army’s culture during the war. One story he shared was how the officers abused their power by having luxury train cars when regular troops were left in boxcars. At one stop, the regulars detached the officer’s car from the train and the train left them at the stop. To learn more about the Civil War, The Civil War Society invites you to join them every last Wednesday of the month
at the Lucy Bensley Center, 23 North Buffalo Street, in Springville. The meetings start at 7 p.m. and offer a lot learning opportunities. Last month’s meeting focused on CAMP, the group attempting to save the Civil War Memorial in Little Valley. The next meeting is Oct. 26, and the theme will be Civil War ghosts. The Echoes Through Time museum is open Saturday and Sunday afternoons at 39 East Main Street, Springville.
Local Haunts Continued from front page
that goes with it? Though currently an empty building, it was first a hotel and saloon, throughout the years changing to a restaurant, a bar, and apartments. The first former owner’s daughter, Christine, is said to mysteriously haunt the building, but little is known about Christine. This poltergeist was said to have enjoyed surprising people, particularly men, when coming out of the bathrooms. Spaulding Road Cemetery and Woods, Concord: Between Genesee and Kern Roads, Spaulding Road is little but a dirt pathway with a few lovely houses, a creekbed, and beautiful nature— and Spaulding Cemetery, used from 1808-1941. It has been reported that, even on a sunny, calm day, once you step up the hill onto cemetery grounds, the wind picks up, and if you are quiet, you may hear disembodied voices. If that scares you, don’t look into the woods surrounding the graveyard, as you may also see shadows darting back and forth. Driving by at night, you are almost certain to have car trouble— engines turn off, lights are said to blink on and off, and ice cold dread will be in the air, before you are “let go,” and allowed to continue on to your destination. Many brave souls that enjoy ghost chasing will admit that even they will not climb the steep but short hill to the burial site once dark arrives. Woodside Hamlet “Witch Woods,” Concord: About a half-mile off the road, down an overgrown path (and not far down the street from the haunted house depicted in “The House on Woodside Road” by local author Shirl Ann Jozak), there is a water well, which looks to be constructed many decades ago. There are many strange, distressing markings on the inside of the enclosure around the well, and the well has long been sealed over. It is said that
in this area, the temperature is noticeably colder, and otherwise dismissed sounds echo starkly through the area, with a noticeable atmosphere of doom. East Otto Cemetery, East Otto: There are many accounts of ghost-watchers going to East Otto Cemetery on East Otto Road at night, and beholding the screaming spectres of two young women, running as their ax-wielding murderer chases them. It is also said that you may have car trouble, such as unexplainable shaking of the vehicle, your horn beeping without being touched, lights going off on their own… drive by at your own risk! Goodleburg Cemetery, South Wales: Often referred to as “one of the most haunted spots in America,” few ghost hunters leave without a sighting. Faint music can be heard, a low, ominous fog is said to follow visitors around, and sightings of the ghosts of a morally corrupt doctor and his most unfortunate patients are said to be common occurrences. Feelings of being pushed back or unable to move have been reported. Photos may show orbs of all colors, the fog, and shadow figures. The doctor’s disturbingly abandoned home stands directly across from the graveyard and how could you not feel watched with this centuries-old home standing at your back! And, last, but certainly not the least of the ghost stories told today: The Strange Tale of Zoar Valley, Collins/Otto: Many strange spectral stories have been reported by both believing and skeptical visitors of Zoar Valley, but the one that stands out the most is the bizarre and unbelievable tale of the “clawhanded” people. Early in the 1900’s, a number of Zoarites were reportedly born with a specific genetic abnormality that left them with fingers and toes unnaturally fused together. Possible reasons have
One of the infamous clawhanded people • Photo www.weirdus.com
been speculated as deformities related to contaminants, curses, and STDs, but legend suggests that the Zoarites chose not to continue having children as a community, and died out. Strange sightings of spirits with claw-hands have been described as having been seen in the area. Zoar Valley is also naturally exceptionally dangerous, with its deep gorges and vast, beautiful landscapes of no-man’s land, and is considered a hotbed for phantom encounters- moving cold spots, feelings of being watched… regardless, it is well known not to go into Zoar Valley alone—and certainly never at night— because it is dangerous! These are just a few of the many stories of hauntings in and around our historical village. If you are interested in checking these places out, please heed private property signs- and if you’re on a mission, ask permissionnever go onto private property without the owner’s go-ahead. If you have any of your own ghost stories, please feel free to send them into our editor during the month of October, at info@springvilletimes. com. If you enjoy terror on Halloween, these “real-life” ghost encounters might be on the agenda for your Oct. 31 activities this year… if you dare!

Emerling Ford Test Drive Event Oct. 8
On Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016 Emerling Ford will be holding a Drive 4 UR Community event promoted through Ford. This event is to help raise money for the Springville Fire Department. Our goal is to raise $6,000 for the Fire Department and the best part of the event is all we ask is for test drivers. For each test drive accompanied with a form filled out, Ford will donate $20. As a small gesture of our appreciation for someone coming to the dealership to do a test drive, we will enter them to be a part of our drawing. On Monday, Oct. 10, 2016 we will draw one name at random to win a Sony 48” Smart TV. We are running this event on Saturday to coincide with the Springville Fire Department’s gun raffle from 4-?. Test drives will be completed at Emerling Ford on 150 S Cascade Dr Springville, NY 14141 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Stop into the dealership and take a test drive in a new vehicle to help us reach our goal!
