By Mary Heyl
Autumn is offi cially here, and with this new season comes an exciting line up of seasonal events in Ellicottville and the surrounding areas! From Fall Festival to Pumpkinville to Night Lights at Griffi s Sculpture Park, there are so many ways to celebrate fall with family and friends. With all of these great activities coming up, you won’t even notice that summer is over, as you’ll be just as busy in October as you were in July! It’s almost impossible to have a conversation about autumn in Ellicottville without talking about Fall Festival, which takes place next weekend on Oct. 7 and 8. Each year, the village welcomes thousands of visitors who enjoy this celebration of all things fall on Washington Street and its surrounding side streets. On Saturday and Sunday, enjoy the outdoor food court (on Jefferson Street), fi ne arts and crafts show, kids carnival rides (Washington Square) and curb market (Monroe Street). Many of Ellicottville’s restaurants will be featuring great entertainment in the evening, so be sure to stay for dinner. Nearby at Holiday Valley Ski Resort, the Sky High Aerial Park and Mountain Coaster will be open until 6 p.m. from Friday through Sunday (located near the Tannenbaum Lodge). On Saturday at 9:30 a.m., Holiday Valley kicks off its annual 5K Race, with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the Holiday Valley Main Lodge. Runners take to the local streets on this fun, challenging course proving Fall Festival is the place to be for celebrating this wonderful season and keeping the heart pumping. Preregister now

Town Board Addresses Sugartown Road Concerns By Caitlin Croft
The September meeting of the Town Board opened with approving the minutes from the August 2017 meeting. There were no corrections, a motion was made to approve; there was a second and council approved.
Next Privilege of the Floor was given to Mike Fleming regarding Sugartown Road and the speed of the cars traveling down it. He asked the council to consider reducing the speed limit to 35 mph from the current 45 mph.
He felt this route, which is heavily traveled by pedestrians and bikers, is extremely unsafe right now. The board agreed that it is not the safest road for pedestrians and bikers. Town Supervisor Matt McAndrew advised he had spoken with

Despite the recent weather report and the hum of still running air-conditioners at the end of September, fall actually arrived according to the calendar last week. Around town, a few brave trees are beginning to show their colors, a bit of red here, some orange there...soon our world will be wrapped with autumn splendor. This time of year, a drive anywhere through our beautiful neck of the woods in the center of Western New York allows for prime leaf peeping out your car window. But why not do something different this year? How about letting someone else do the driving and make it a relaxing adventure on a train?

Sugartown Road Concerns Continued from front page
members of the county and the process to reduce the speed limit takes 3-4 months and it is only a temporary fi x as shoulders would be a more permanent solution. He feels the reality of reducing to 35 would see a lot of backlash as it is a heavily traveled route by many motor vehicles to get between NYS 98 and NYS 219. Town Planning Board Vice Chair John Zerfas spoke from the public that he felt reducing the speed could lead to an increase of vehicles passing each other and increased accidents. Fleming spoke back up and stated if it was policed more heavily, maybe the public would reduce its speeds and we would attract people from all over to use the route and stay in our village. The entire board is in agreement that something needs to be done. They urged Fleming to have members of the community write letters in support of pedestrian/bike lanes and contact the Town Hall on who to send them to. This conversation moved into the update on the Ellicottville Great Valley Trail, a 21-mile bike trail going all the way to Great Valley via Sugartown Road. The Department of Transportation (DOT) advised the town to put it into the Master Plan and this was done. They have applied for two TAP Grants from the state and have not been awarded the grants. In addition, they have also applied for two TIGER Discretionary Grants, which are right from the DOT. They have also been turned down for these. A grant writer has been brought on board to aid in the process. More letters from residents are requested. This is a two-million-dollar project and Phase 1 will enhance the likelihood of obtaining a TIGER Discretionary Grant. Currently, they are working with the Army Corps of Engineers to work through Wetland procedure. The State Historic Preservation Offi cer needs to approve the project. An archeologist was consulted and is writing a letter to the State Historic Preservation Offi ce (SHPO) that states the plan should be approved by the State Historic Preservation Offi cer. The County Department of Public Works completed all the surveys for the project and the Grading Release will aid with completing easements. The next step would be clearing the pathways and next year the goal is to start grading. There are a few drainage issues that must be addressed, along with the potential disturbance of the northern long nose bat’s nesting trees. The board discussed how this project is being funded; they have offered to back 20 percent of the project and will be the entity to hold the easements. They will hold
any coverage necessary. The board made a motion to ask the county for pedestrian/ bike paths on either side of Sugartown Road; there was a second and the council approved. They will also add extra enforcement of the current speed limit. Next was discussion on the Evans Agency Insurance package. Workers Compensation went up due to there being more payroll dollars than in the past. Overall, the cost of the package is down $145 from last year. There was discussion on the professionalism and attention to detail of the Evans Agency when a question of shopping the plan around came up. The board made a motion to accept the Evans Agency Commercial Insurance Plan for this year; there was a second and the council approved. During the Audit of Claims there was a motion to approve the bills on Distribution Report #08-17; there was a second and the council approved. During the Supervisor’s Reports, there was a motion to accept Supervisor’s August 2017 Financial Report. Next, the Four Flushers Meeting was discussed regarding the Grant the Village received and it is expected to go to bid in January 2018. Also discussed was the funding options for entering data collected into the GIS Mapping of Village and Town Assets. The County has offered to host the GIS system. Five candidates have been interviewed for the Town/ Village Public Works Position. They have narrowed it down to three and the next round of interviews will be Friday, Sept. 29. At the Cattaraugus County Shared Services Meeting on Sept. 7, the plan was passed by all towns and villages and it also received county approval. The plan has now been sent to the state for review. We are one of the only counties in the state to complete this process in 2017 thanks to the tireless work of Jack Searles County Administrator’s Offi ce. All department reports had a motion for approval made; there was a second and the council approved. A concern with Fire Alarms again has been raised and the council feels we need to properly enforce the fi nes that are currently in place. The line locator was broken, because there is a new one budgeted into the grant McAndrew hesitates to purchase a new one. Until then,
The nets have been packed away and the sticks are home. The fi rst Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival is in the books, and it was a great success! “We have been actively looking for more sporting groups to compete in Ellicottville since the World Bowhunting Championships moved on and I know we have found a long term partner in Rhino Lacrosse,” said Brian McFadden, Executive Director of the Chamber. “We believe the economic impact of this event will be signifi cant over the next few years,” he went on to say. The joint effort by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce and Rhino Lacrosse saw 38 teams from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vermont, Canada, and other places around the region. With over 70 games played in two days in two
local venues, the village was fi lled with players, their families and fans of the game. “What a beautiful place Ellicottville, New York is!” Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival director Ryan Powell said. “We picked the perfect place to hold our lacrosse festival. Feedback from families was so positive; they have raved about the location, the super friendly people and all the things to do in the area. We have quickly received great feedback from our fi rstyear event and are already looking forward to September 2018!” Early feedback from participating teams touts the culture, spirit, entertainment and attitude of Ellicottville in creating the environment for success. The director of a club said, “We absolutely
the town will rent or borrow one. The Energy Authority completed their Energy Audit and the council waits for those results. Innovative Mechanical, who did the new HVAC system at the Town Hall, has offered a service contract where two times per year they will inspect the entire system. This will include replacing fi lters and lube. They have committed to be available for emergency service and will service the snow melt components as well. This is for $700, the council made a motion to accept this service agreement; there was a second and it was approved. A punch list has been created for the contractor on Booster Station #1, which should be complete the week of the 23rd. This winds down the project. There was a motion to pay for parts that were purchased from Great Valley Builders by WinSum for the Booster; there was a second and it was approved. Upper Holiday Valley Road engineering project is in the early stages. The county has completed the survey and this project will address the water shed in that area. The goal is to slow down water above the entrance to Tannenbaum Lodge. There will be a total of 1200’ in question and there are concerns on how much the curb will cost because it is such a small amount. They also plan to reconstruct the aprons on each driveway in question to better aid with the water shed. In new business, there was a Jefferson Street Cemetery Update. Gail Carucci wrote a letter addressing the stones that are now in need of repair. Considering so much work was put into restoring the cemetery Carucci does not want to see it revert to the state it was in. The council will ask Mr. Crandall (who did the initial repairs) to check it out and give an estimate on repairs. Next in new business was 6515 Donlen Drive, a “Zombie Home.” There is now a list of homes that if that property is on the bank must foreclose and this will force them to care for the property. Kelly Fredrickson, the Code Enforcement Offi cer, is spearheading the investigation into the process so we can hopefully address this issue. The board closed the meeting and moved to executive session. The next meeting of the Town Board will be on Oct. 23, 2017 at 6 p.m. at the Town Hall.

Letter to the Editor
Over this past weekend I am proud to announce that our community collected and will be donating $4,584.14 to the American Red Cross! I would like to thank all of the following volunteers who stood in the hot sun collecting money, and to all of the money counters : Sheila Gallagher, Mitch Azcarate, Leah Klahn, Anneen Barrera, Wilson Siudzinski, Paisly Baker-Farnum, Nita Wiechman, Christopher Rounds, Sue Parsons, Evelyn Ballard, John Burrell and Reggie Klahn. In addition I would like to thank Shubert Enterprises, LLC located at 5109 Route 353 in Salamanca for the donation of all of the signs and posts, it is very much appreciated. Also a big thank you goes out to all of the locals and passers by who donated and thanked us for collecting; it gave us that extra boost to stay out in the hot sun. Lastly, I would like to thank all of the people who sent in checks to be included with the Village envelope. When Reggie and I were looking around this weekend, we realized just how lucky we are to live in Western New York. We are very fortunate to not have had a hardship in this area like many are facing in our country right now. We hope that all of you open your hearts and give what you can to your favorite organization to help the victims of these catastrophes. Sincerely, Mary Klahn

‘The Romanov Ransom’ by Clive Cussler In 1918, a ransom of enormous size was paid to free the Romanovs from the Bolsheviks, but, as history knows, the Romanovs died anyway. And the ransom? During World War II, the Nazis stole it from the Russians, and after that--it vanished. Until now. When a modern-day kidnapping captures the attention of husbandand-wife team Sam and Remi Fargo, the couple soon learn that these long-lost riches may be back in play, held in trust by the descendants of a Nazi guerrilla faction called the Werewolves. It is their mission to establish the Fourth Reich, and their time is coming soon. As the Fargos follow the trail across Europe, Northern Africa, and South America, they know only one thing. This quest is greater than anything they have ever done--it is their chance to make someone answer for unspeakable crimes, and to prevent them from happening again. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,300 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!
Health & Fitness Prevent Shoulder Injury
By Kim Duke
In everyday life, your shoulder gets a real workout. It moves just about every time you do. You use it for lifting, reaching, or even throwing a ball. You can grab something high or pick something off the ground. You can do all these things because a healthy shoulder has a great range of motion, and that’s a good thing. But all that movement means there are more ways for you to get hurt. The shoulder is the body’s most injured joint. The most common
problems come from repeating the same movement over and over again, and from too much arm motion above your head (like painting or hanging curtains). But your shoulder can get hurt in other ways too: • Age. Natural wear and tear that comes with age can damage your shoulder. • Osteoarthritis. The cartilage (tough rubbery padding) that protects your joints wears down. • Rotary cuff damage. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that keeps your shoulder together. • Bursitis. The fl uid-fi lled pads that cushion your joints get swollen. • Dislocation. Your upper arm bone comes out of the shoulder (it normally fi ts like a socket). This can hurt a lot. • Frozen shoulder. The capsule of connective tissue that holds your shoulder together thickens and tightens around the joint, restricting its movement. The good news is that shoulder problems often can
be fi xed without surgery. Still, it’s best to avoid the problem in the fi rst place. Here are some ways to do that: Listen to your body. If your shoulder gets sore after any activity, don’t ignore it. If the pain is serious and doesn’t go away, see your doctor. There’s no need to tough it out. You just might make things worse. Exercise the right way. Warm up before you work out. Start slowly if you haven’t done a sport or an activity in a while. Learn how to lift weights the right way. Don’t lift too much. Watch out at work. Make sure you don’t injure your shoulder on the job. • Use good posture when you sit or stand. • Follow the rules for safe lifting. Keep your back straight and use your legs. • Take a break for a couple of minutes every hour. Move around and stretch. • If you work at a desk, make sure your work station is set up so that you can comfortably use your computer.

East Otto Town Board
The August meeting of the East Otto Town Board was called to order at 6:03 PM by Supervisor Ann Rugg on Tuesday August 8, 2017. Highway: Tom stated that the cold mix on Hammond Hill is done. The top still needs to be surfaced. He told the board that the hot water tank at the Highway building is no longer any good. He priced gas and electric ones and also different size ones and told the board the differences. Discussion took place and the decision was made for Tom to purchase a gas hot water tank. He told the board there will be a child attending school this year that lives on top of Rohr Hill off from Mill Valley and there is no turn around for the bus there. It is in West Valley school district. Ann told Tom to contact the Bus Supervisor and let him know. Town clerk: Presented the board with information on a presentation she went to

Those areas were accepted by Armstrong Company for fi ber optic. Ann told the board the
NYS town supervisors have come up with a plan for shared services to be voted on September 7, 2017. The state feels the projected savings will be almost 2 million dollars for all the projects combined. In order for it to pass there will need to be a majority vote of the 23 supervisors. Ann sent in an application to Mega gas/ electric to see if they could give the town a better price. CEO Report: Jeff completed 8 inspections, issued 2 violation notices, and answered 17 phone calls. Jeff attended court for 2 violations. Public Comment: Mark Westfall had questions regarding health insurance. A motion was made by Bill Spors and seconded by Mike Poch to adjourn at 7:18 PM.

Memorial Plaque Honors Fallen Heroes of Ellicottville
Bill O’Brien, Third ViceCommander of the Concord American Legion Post 431, and a Vietnam War veteran presented a memorial plaque at the Ellicottville American Legion on Thursday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. He worked on this project for several months, researching the names and stories of servicemen who died in service during World War II, The Korean War, and the Vietnam War. A total of 16 names are on the memorial plaque, one of which was a classmate of O’Brien’s – and the plaque is donated in his memory – Orrie Earl Macomb Jr. The plaque includes the names, service branch, service years and fi nal resting place of local Ellicottville and Great Valley service members who died in battle. His research for the names was done at the Ellicottville Memorial Library, with help from Laura Flannigan, for which he is most grateful. Utilizing their computers, he spent hours going through old newspapers, and online websites including Ancestry. com and FindAGrave.com. O’Brien grew up in Ellicottville, and has strong family ties to this area. The family farm was at the current location of the Ilex Inn, encompassing over 350 acres. He enlisted April 26, 1965 and served in the Vietnam War as an Army engineer for three years, stationed at West Point. O’Brien also presented a plaque to the Concord American Legion Post 431 in February 2017, honoring 27 service members from the Springville and Concord, NY area. After completing that

Dineen graduated from Ellicottville High School in 1939, where he played football, basketball and played in a prize-winning high school band. After college, Douglas enlisted as a radio man in the U.S.A.A.F. in 1942. He was assigned to C-47 with the 313th Troop Carrier Squadron, 29th Troup Carrier Group, which served in North Africa, Sicily, D-Day, the Rhine and Holland. Sgt. Douglas D.

Progress Afoot with the EVGV Trail
Trail Head, Signage, Donations & Drone Footage
EVGV Trail presents check to Nannen Arboretum.
(Left to right) Paul Kingston, Joe Wright, Pat Kerl and Matt McAndrew met at the EVGV Trailhead site to present a check from the recent EVGV Trail fundriaser.
By Joe Wright
If you haven’t visited the Nannen Arboretum or the Town Center on Fillmore Ave. of late, you might want to check out what’s happening as the month of September has been a busy one for the EVGV Trail and its committee. Standing adjacent to the Nannen Arborteum, Ellicottville residents and tourists will now see the newly constructed EVGV trail head for the Town Center portion of the trail. A special thank you to Terry Fuller’s students from the Carpentry and Construction Trades program from the BOCES Center at Ellicottville for their hard work in building the entrance for the trail that
will extend east down to Tim Horton’s. Preliminary excavation could begin later this Fall with the bulk of the construction to begin Spring 2018. The EVGV Trail Committee is always looking for any in-kind help from area construction contractors, excavators, as well as materials to help with construction of this project. Signage for the new trail head was generously provided by Jane Eshbaugh and Holiday Valley. On Friday, September 22nd, members of the EVGV Trail Committee (see picture above) presented a check to the Nannen Arboretum Society in the amount of $843.19 representing 25% of
the proceeds from the EVGV Trail’s First Annual Ham and Turkey raffl e held in June at the American Legion Post in Ellicottville. Lastly, a small portion of the Town Center trail has been staked-out and is already walkable down to roughly the Glen Burn Trail property. On September 15th, Spencer Timkey donated his photographic talents and drone to help give the community an over-head glimpse of this fi rst portion of the trail network. The drone footage is absolutely breathtaking. To see more of this footage, go to the EVGV Trail Facebook page.

Summer in Review
Gin Mill Lager is about 6 percent alcohol, slightly higher than a traditional German Helles. The Winery of Ellicottville only continues to grow after seven years in business. Year after year, they continue to add new product line after new product line. At the recent Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, The Sweetest Thing (one of their sweet red wines) earned a double gold medal, the highest distinction you can receive. In addition to the double gold, Natalie (a traditional champagne) and their Riesling won a gold medal. For the second year in a row, Hollywood Studios are affi liating with Pumpkinville to celebrate a special anniversary. This year, Universal Pictures is partnering for the 75th Anniversary of Curious George and its upcoming movie. It is only one of a handful of places across America selected by Universal. Pumpkinville has included Curious George in the design of their six-acre corn maze. The offi cial character will also be visiting Pumpkinville Sept.30- Oct. 1 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. each day. Pumpkinville will offer Curious George-themed activities throughout their six-week season from Sept.16 – Oct. 31. Curious George merchandise will also be available in the gift shop. Holiday Valley As Holiday Valley gets ready to celebrate their 60th anniversary, they recently announced plans to add 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 benefi ts of more effi cient 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. 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

Some days, I chose a page at random, but usually I try to work my way through a book systematically. I meditate on the page until certain words begin to emerge as important or relevant to me on that day. I circle those words in pencil and then redact the page with a fi ne sharpie marker. Sometimes I add in a quote and additional imagery. I try to keep the materials minimal

Local World War II MIA Honored at Washington’s Nationals Park
Conrad Martinez (left) Ron Carr (right), on the field as PFC Irvin T. Ebert’s picture is shown on the stadium board in the background. DPAA Photos by Sgt. 1st Class Kristen Duus By Ron Carr
The third Friday in September is the annual National POW/MIA Recognition Day. MIAs from World War II, Vietnam, and Korea are recognized on this day at Nationals Park, home of the Washington Nationals. This year’s honoree representing World War II was PFC Irvin T. Ebert, from Ellicottville. He was represented by his nephews, Conrad Martinez, son of the former Beatrice Ebert, and Ron Carr, grandson of the former Alice Ebert, siblings of Irvin. Conrad, of Ashburn, VA and Ron of Orchard Park, NY, along with another cousin, Joe Ebert of Ontario, NY have been searching the past several years in hopes of locating the remains of their uncle. Irvin entered the service in February 1941. After training at Fort Monmouth, he was sent to the Philippines where he was a member of the Signal Company, Aircraft Warning at Ft. William McKinley. Immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese turned their attention
to American property in the Pacifi c, specifi cally the Philippine Islands where Irvin was stationed. Irvin was able to send a few letters home giving a glimpse as to his situation. In his last letter, dated Feb. 7, 1942 he wrote to his mother apologizing for not writing sooner and stating that, “we’ve been sort of inconvenienced. But I guess you’ve probably heard all about that.” With the United States Pacifi c fl eet decimated at Pearl Harbor, there was no hope to giving Irvin and his fellow soldiers any relief. The Philippines would fall on May 1942 and Irvin would never be heard from again. The family story was that Irvin surrendered with the rest of the American soldiers and died during the Bataan Death March but recently declassifi ed government documents along with eyewitness reports indicate that PFC Ebert avoided capture and never surrendered. What happened to him after that remains a mystery. Following the war, there was a search for missing Americans in the Philippines. An interview of a young Filipino resulted in the discovery of the remains of fi ve American soldiers buried in a shallow grave by the Japanese in May of 1942. Testing was done on these fi ve soldiers in an attempt to uncover their identity. One of the remains had all the characteristics of Irvin; location, approximate height, approximate weight, similar bottom teeth. Unfortunately, the upper teeth were no longer present, which would have made for proper positive identifi cation. Twice it was recommended that the set of remains labeled X-1944 be designated as those of PFC Irvin T. Ebert and twice those recommendations were canceled. Finally and offi cially, X-1944 was buried in the
Manila-American Cemetery and Irvin T. Ebert was declared MIA with remains unfound. The 21st century brought new desire to fi nd some of those MIAs from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam and a government agency called JPAC (Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command) was formed to handle the search. JPAC would be dissolved after accusations of mismanagement surfaced. It would be replaced by DPAA (Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency), however that group is suffering under the same accusations. One area lacking is the disinterment of the unknown soldiers to be tested and identifi ed. Conrad, Ron, and Joe have gone to conferences called Family Updates in New Jersey, Virginia, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania in hopes of bringing attention to their desire to locate and bring their Uncle Irvin’s remains back to the Little Valley Cemetery, where a headstone is placed in his honor.
