Athletes return annually for the Fall Festival 5K Walk/Run on Oct. 11 and the Mountain Bike Race on Oct. 12, both at Holiday Valley. They’re a great way to enjoy the colors of the season while beating the pants off your competitors. Prefer a longer distance? Then save the date for the first-ever Halloween Half Marathon, 5K Run and Kids’ Race on Nov. 1 held right in the village. For some indoor excitement, get your poker face on and head to the Seneca Allegany Casino & Resort in nearby Salamanca for some exciting games of chance including slot machines, blackjack, roulette, craps, 7-card stud and more.

It takes all types of people to create Ellicottville’s almost magical atmosphere. Whether you live here, are a regular visitor or new to the area, you’ll quickly discover what makes you happy when visiting this charming, old-fashioned village nestled in the Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County. There are so many events, activities and places waiting for you — starting with this weekend’s Fall Festival, an annual event that attracts thousands of visitors to enjoy the gorgeous fall scenery, great food, fantastic craft beer selection, chairlift rides, winter gear sales, art and craft sales, kids’ carnival rides and more. Dial in your personality profile below and explore Ellicottville like no one’s business!

Social Butterfly

Stay home tonight? Why would anyone want to do THAT? And there’s no reason to when you’re in Ellicottville. Catch national, regional and local bands at bars and restaurants in the village all year long — a great way to visit with old friends and make some new ones, too. A little wine or beer tasting is always a fun time and the village offers both. Be sure to save the date for Holiday Valley’s Nov. 7 Brew Masters Dinner, an intimate beer and wine pairing experience, and the Nov. 8 annual Beer & Wine Festival, featuring 100-plus handcrafted beers from more than 30 of the best New York State and American craft breweries and wines from New York, Southern Ontario and Ellicottville vintners. You can even taste some ciders, too.

Adrenaline Junkie

The adventurous twinkle in your eye and slightly upturned grin give you away every time. Good news! There are so many adrenaline rushworthy places you will never forget. Start at Holiday Valley’s Sky High Adventure Park and challenge yourself on the Aerial Park’s 13 courses with zip lines, bridges and platforms, and levels from easy to commando; feel the rush on the 4,805-foot Mountain Coaster ride through the woods; and harness in for a thrilling 45-foot-high climb in the enchanted trees of the Climbing Forest. Under cover of night, explore the Aerial Park at a Night Crawlers Night Climb Oct. 17–18. For a pitch black, frighteningly good time, take a Nightmare Hayride on Sommerville Street that includes an unparalleled hayride with live monsters, a creepy maze and dizzying haunted barn.

Family Chauffeur The engine block never cools, you know where all the gas stations are in a 100-mile radius and the inside of your vehicle is permanently covered in crumbs and toys. Sound familiar? Then you’re officially the Family Transportation Coordinator, aka Family Chauffeur. Hey, somebody’s gotta do it! So let’s get this van rolling and head to Pumpkinville, open until Oct. 31. Both kids and adults love all the activities, including the redesigned corn maze, new pedal carts, farm animals, singing chicken show, Jumpin’ Pillows and more. Cider, barbeque items, pumpkin treats — like doughnuts, pies and fudge — truly taste like fall. And don’t forget the hundreds of pumpkins! Visit a farm or two on the Alpaca Adventure Trail to pet a fluffy alpaca and feel their oh-so-soft fleece is always worth a drive. While you’re on the road, take a side trip on the Amish Trail for a glimpse back in time as you drive past Old Order Amish farms that sell specialty items. The evening Night Lights at Griffis Sculpture Park will amaze the whole family and runs through Oct. 11. And on rainy days, bowling and arcade games at Ellicottville Square are always a good time!

Zen Master Looking for a relaxing Ellicottville experience? Then head to Art in the Garden on Oct. 11 at 11 Rockwell Ave. in the village, where 11 prestigious artists will be demonstrating their talents. Stop in to say hello with no pressure to buy. A visit to the Cattaraugus County Museum and Research Library in Machias is a great place to contemplate the past. For a truly transcendental experience, book a massage or other relaxing spa treatment and escape to a pampering environment free of daily stress. Or take a chairlift ride to the top of Holiday Valley and experience the brilliance of fall from a new angle.

Cadillac Jack’s has been a favorite eatery to all who visit Holiday Valley and Ellicottville for many years. And now it will have a new address in the heart of Ellicottville at 24 Monroe St., with intentions of being open by ski season. Only now, they won’t close at the end of ski season — they will be open year ‘round! Owned by Tom and Tina Zerbian, Cadillac Jack’s has been across from The Inn at Holiday Valley for many years. “We’ve offered grab-ngo meals for skiers – getting people and families fed and back out on the slopes as quickly as possible,” Tina Zerbian said with a laugh. “Now, we will have a chance to offer upscale gourmet meals, and a more thoughtful menu that encourages guests to sit and linger over dinner conversations.” Not wanting to reveal too many details, she did hint at a very “unique” bar design that will be a more intimate style than the 20-plus-seat bar at the old location. “We want to have an earthy, nostalgic atmosphere,” said Zerbian. “We want to highlight what is good about Ellicottville. We all have great memories of how it used to be here, and we want to capture that in our new style.” The main floor will have

the kitchen and the bar area, and seating for smaller dining parties. The second floor will feature indoor and outdoor dining, with the addition of a new patio. “Ellicottville has a shortage of outdoor patio dining, and we’ll be able to offer a unique dining space there,” said Zerbian. (See floor plans above and exterior rendering right.) “We will still feature some of our favorite menu items, such as Hot-Lip Mussels and our large selection of craft beers on tap, including Ommegang. But we’ll be adding to our wine list, offering a larger selection of affordable wines. And we’ll be offering wine and beer pairings throughout the seasons,” said Zerbian. Large groups will always be welcome, and catering to special parties is a favorite, whether it’s a ski group, an anniversary, birthday parties or

Other Things You Should Know When Attending Fall Festival Letter from the Special Events Committee 2014 • Know where you are staying and the phone number (there are a lot of condos and rental houses.) Know how you are getting home and where you are going. • Have an emergency plan — where to meet if you are separated or cell service is unavailable. • Keep your pets at home. It’s crowded and they will be happier as well as all concerned. Village Laws: Clean up after your pets. All pets are to be on a leash. • Rethink that huge stroller or wagon … it’s crowded. • Dress accordingly. You will be walking, and temps and weather conditions change quickly, so be prepared! • Fake ID? Bouncers will definitely be looking for them. Backpacks and large purses may or may not be allowed into bars. • Don’t travel alone. Use sidewalks outside of festival areas. There IS traffic. • Eat and stay hydrated (popcorn and alcohol don’t cut it). • Support local and not-for-profits. They are a huge part in making this all happen! • Traffic … expect it. Parking ... interesting. Shuttles are available to designated locations. Expect to walk. • House parties fall under the same noise and occupancy ordinances. Keep it respectable after 11 p.m. • Bus and private carriers loading and unloading allowed only at the DPW on Mill & Martha Street. •Open Container Law = Zero Tolerance. This applies to buses and private carriers, anyone in village public space. Drink it or leave it. • It’s crowded … keep your cool, be patient in traffic, with servers, employees and others all around. • Behave, have fun, keep it in check. Remember you are a guest or host and respect all.

this free event at 11 Rockwell Ave., just two blocks across from Tops Market off Mill Street in the village of Ellicottville. While you visit, please take this opportunity to watch the artists working on live paintings and drawings throughout the day. One of Allen’s goals for this event is to allow the public to interact with these internationally recognized artists on a personal level, something that usually will cost you a pretty penny. Seeing a great piece of art in the making is something most people never get to experience. Here’s your chance thanks to all the participating artists and Darlene Allen’s vision. Amongst the 11 artists working in the gardens, you will find such notables as Thomas Paquette, who currently has a one-man show, “On Nature’s Terms,” at the Regina A. Quick Center at St. Bonaventure in Allegany. Please do visit his show before coming to Art in the Garden to experience the magic and grandeur of Paquette’s vision. Ellen Paquette, his wife, will be providing live Celtic harp music during the event and offering some of her delightful whimsical wares. Ellen is in great demand for her musical gift and we are very honored to have her performing live. If you have never heard Ellen and her harp, it’s worth the short walk just for that! In case you haven’t heard, Jennifer Miller, who just won the prestigious Federal Duck Stamp competition ahead of 188 other national artists will also be represented. Jennifer’s wildlife work’s exquisite color, composition and attention to detail will leave you breathless. Your hostess, Darlene Allen and photographer extraordinaire, will be displaying captivating imagery and paintings. Allen’s lifelong obsession with photography has finally gained the recognition it deserves being juried into

by Ellen Paquette the exclusive Southern Tier Biennial and three new galleries in the last month. Come see and you’ll see why. You will have an opportunity to see the genius of Peg Bothner’s watercolor sketches of musicians, lyrical works that surprise and delight. Peg seems to exercise “careful reckless abandon” while working — a true artist! Robin Zefers Clark’s tributes to New York’s cultural heritage, haunting abandoned places and places you’d like to be, help you understand why people love this area. There is a beautiful energy here that feels like home and Robin captures that in her skillful watercolors. Judson Brown, plein air painter (a French term for open or full air painting on location), will be sharing his colorful experiences of travel in the Adirondacks and beyond through the path of his brush. Judson’s paintings often make you feel the quick glimpse of an experience or the peace of solitude. Either way, they are visually rewarding. The much-esteemed Betty Meierjurgen will be showing off her pastel pieces, which are lively and fresh, while her oils are moody and deep — a little like Betty herself, LOL. With Betty, you never know what you’ll be looking at next, because she draws from a lifetime of rich experiences with thousands of miles in between. Make sure you ask her, “Where is that?” You’ll get an answer and likely a good story, too. Get yourself a second dose of

insightful plein air brushwork by the talented Jeremiah Kirby. Jeremiah impressed Allen with his enthusiastic and painterly style at her plein air event in 2013. If you’re in for a drawing experience, then you will definitely want to seek out Denise Drummond’s magical graphite works that make most people ask, “Is that a photograph?” Drummond’s award-winning works are both sublime and transcendent, her compositions timeless. Finally, Todd Plough, the American Impressionist painter, will be working wildly, so watch your step around him or you’re liable to wind up with a dab of paint souvenir on you. Todd’s work has been widely collected by art connoisseurs internationally and has been seen in Martha Stewart Living magazine. Currently, his painting of “Birches at Sunrise “ hangs as the centerpiece of the Vanderbuilt’s Great Camp Sagamore dining hall in Raquette Lake, N.Y. All of Allen’s artists have been carefully selected for their absolute integrity as artists, professionalism and extraordinary work. Please come and visit this FREE one-day event and get an eye and earful of the richest talent anywhere — right here in Ellicottville! Look for the signs “Art Show Today.” Remember — 11, 11, and 11 — Oct. 11, 11 Rockwell Ave., 11 artists. Come learn, come listen, come enjoy!

Sell, Swap or Shop for New Ski Gear By David Potter

This is great time of the year. You can watch football and baseball on TV. College basketball practices have started. The hockey season is about to begin. You can go for long drive to look at the changing leaves. And it’s time for the Ellicottville Fall Festival. Fall Festival is more than a time to travel to Ellicottville to socialize. It’s also a good time to take inventory of your winter sports gear. Whether you board, ski downhill or cross-country now is a good time sell your old gear and/or purchase new gear. Go ahead and grab your gear from hot attics, damp garages and basements, or under the tonneau of your truck (yes, a friend actually does this, even though I’ve warned him not to!) and check it for signs of wear and tear, as well as fit. If you have used gear to sell, the Holiday Valley Fall Fest Ski Swap is a good option (www. Holidayvalley.com/events/fallfest-ski-swap). You can drop off your used skis, snowboards or boots to Holiday Valley between 4–8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10 or 9 a.m.–noon on Saturday, Oct. 11. You can price it however you wish, but if you’re unsure how much to charge, there will be knowledgeable people there to help advise you. The Valley takes a small percentage of the sale price to help the junior race teams. The swap is open to the public for purchases from 4–8 p.m. Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.–2 p.m. on Sunday. How do you know if you actually need new equipment? Did you last buy winter gear in the ‘90s? Do people in the lift line point to your gear and then say to their companion, “I

It’s Not Always About ‘Need’

remember when I had those back in high school”? Are your gloves more duct tape than black leather? Do your ski poles have more bends than a backcountry road? Does your ski apparel look like something you could wear to a ‘70s disco? Do your bindings say Cubco? If you can answer yes to any of these questions, then it might be time to invest. Where should I buy my new stuff? The above-mention ski swap is a good place to start if your

budget only allows for used pricing. The same people who will help you determine what your old gear is worth will be just as happy to point you in the right direction with a purchase. When my kids were young and growing, the ski swap was where we stocked up for the upcoming season. In the village, there will be tent sales along with the excellent ski shops that carry hard goods (skis, boards and boots) and soft goods (everything else). Whether you go to the tent sales or the great shops in the village, you will find experienced sales people who know their products and great deals, especially Fall Festival weekend. I bought my current favorite pair of skis during Fall Festival last year. I didn’t really “need” new skis, but I saw a pair of new skis at a price that I really couldn’t refuse. Besides, skiers and boarders know it’s not all about “need.” So, go ahead and treat yourself! What brand, style, model should I buy? As I have been pointing out, every location will have people willing to listen to your needs and price range. Don’t be surprised if they point you in a different direction or even to a different location! Everyone plays well together here. Just remember that every skier and boarder has different needs. Cheap doesn’t mean bad, just as expensive isn’t always good. The trick is to find the gear and fit at a price that is right for you. So if you wish to sell your old gear, want to buy new or newto-you gear, head to Ellicottville this weekend. Even if you can’t find exactly what you are looking for, I guarantee you’ll have a great time looking.

Holiday Valley Improvements Continued from Front Page

After investing $13 million in the resort in 2012 building the fabulous new main lodge, and another $3.1 million in 2013 for improvements such as the new Overlook Terrace, 70 new snowguns, the Riglet Park for the littlest riders and skiers, to name a few, Holiday Valley’s 2014 efforts are aimed to please even more. To provide more weather independence, Holiday Valley has installed an additional 58 new HKD Impulse automated snowguns on Snowledge, The Wall, Morning Star and Crystal, giving Holiday Valley the ability to make even more and better quality snow all season long across the mountain. A turbo fan gun also is being installed at the Holiday Valley Tubing Park. Three new connecting trails have been cut. One, from the top of Morning Star to Crystal, will be named Peppermint Lane. Another, from Sunrise to Bear Cub, will be known as Bear Paw. The third, which will be an extension of Cindy’s, will give beginners access from the Inn at Holiday Valley to the base area and the Snowsports School from Sunrise. New trail and slope maps will be available as soon as the snow falls to guide guests through the additions. A new stone clock tower and bridge have been completed outside the main lodge. The clock tower’s design is similar to the one razed during the 2012 construction of the new lodge and serves as a charming meeting place and information station. Several non-winter season improvements were made and are getting rave reviews. Sky High Adventure Park’s new black diamond course — the Black Widow — has been wildly popular all summer long. A new hiking trail from the top of the Spruce Lake chairlift to Sky High opened in time for chairlift ride season,

which is offered weekends through Oct. 19. Down by the main lodge, the resort has improved the deck around the pools and Cabana Bar with space for outdoor games, and a new, timberframe canopy over the Cabana Bar will be installed this fall. At the award-winning Double Black Diamond Golf Course, bunkers on the back nine are being rebuilt this fall. The course remains open through Nov. 2, weather permitting. And renovations of the lovely Inn at Holiday Valley have been completed, with new furniture, carpets, wall treatments and countertops to make guests’ stays even more comfortable and cozy. Planning for the realignment of Holiday Valley Road has been a top priority all year, though the actual work won’t

begin until next spring. The rerouted road will head up the hill across from Tamarack, along the top of the third tier parking lot and then back to the existing roadway near Valley Village. Entry to the parking area will be at the third tier; exits will be located at the first tier. The existing road in front of the lodge, administration and operations buildings will be replaced with more parking and a wide area with steps, grassy areas and natural landscaping leading to the main lodge. The intent is to provide better traffic flow, more parking and improved pedestrian safety. If you’re new to Holiday Valley, you might be interested in a few facts about the resort. The mountain has a top elevation of 2,250 feet, a base elevation of 1,500 feet and a vertical drop of 750 feet. The resort is situated on 1,400 acres, with 300 skiable acres during the day and 180 acres at night. There are 58 slopes for 30 miles of skiing/boarding, 13 lifts, five terrain parks and 10 miles of cross-country/ snowshoeing trails. Non-winter activities include golf, swimming at a three-pool complex, mountain biking and hiking, chairlift rides, and more. Sky High Adventure Park, which opened in 2011, features 13 aerial courses of varying difficulty with 142 platforms and 170 elements such as bridges, ladders, obstacles and zip lines. There’s also a Mountain Coaster ride and a Climbing Forest. Year-round amenities include a spa, several dining venues (some seasonal), free Wi-Fi and extensive conference and event services for groups of up to 1,000. Plus, Holiday Valley hosts numerous fundraising and “fun-raising” events all year long. Visit www.holidayvalley. com.

Letter to the Editor Visit the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol Sausage and Beer Tent at Fall Festival It is that time of year again, preparation season for ski patrollers. When the days get shorter and the leaves start to change, the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol starts preparing for the upcoming ski season. Our fall O.E.C., (Outdoor Emergency Care), and chair evacuation refreshers are completed. The fall O.E.C. class for new patrollers is well underway. Next up, Fall Festival. We have for many years set up a sausage and beer tent next to the Ellicottville Post Office. The Fall Festival is our major fundraiser for the upcoming season. This year we were extremely fortunate to benefit from “The Art of Rescue,” which was hosted by Ellicottville Brewing Company on Aug. 2, 2014. Through these fundraisers, we will be able to continue to provide our injured guests with the best care possible. Holiday Valley is an amazing ski/ride area that ranks in the top 10 in the East all the time. We spend a great deal of time on prevention and education so that your visit will be more enjoyable. If you, a family member, or a friend does get injured, know that Holiday Valley provides us with the best possible facility to care for you. If you’re going to be from one of the best ski area in the East, then you better have one of the best ski patrols, too. Our funds raisers allow us to purchase all of the first-aid supplies and training that we need to do that. So, when you’re out at Fall Festival Oct. 11 and 12, stop by our booth and have a sausage and a beer. You never know when you might need a Band-Aid or the support of the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol. Enjoy the colorful scenery, and know that we will be prepared when the snow flies!

Greg Boberg, Holiday Valley Ski Patroller

Letter to the Editor Thank You for EVGV Trail Support at Open House The Ellicottville and Great Valley Trail Committee held its Open House last Sunday. I just wanted to thank all of the great people that showed up to find out more about the trail and the overwhelming support that came from all of you. The Board and Committee members have worked very hard to get the project to this point. We have applied for grants, developed maps and held numerous meetings. Because of your generous donations, we were able to get a Master Plan in place. Now, as we move forward to get a section of the trail done, we will need your support and donations even more. Again — I thank you! Sincerely, Ken Hinman

A Busy Summer at HoliMont Paves the Way for the 2014-15 Season

One Great Restaurant, Two Great Locations! Hamburg &

By Dash Hegeman

As you’re aware by now, the autumn season is here in all of its vibrant zest. That can only mean one thing — Ellicottville’s Fall Festival is almost here. Fall Festival is usually the point in the year where many people’s thoughts start to drift toward the upcoming ski season. Perhaps you are one of those people, in which case Fall Fest is also a great opportunity for you to pick up some new gear and find some great deals on the local ski shops’ left over inventory from last season. Have you been able to “Experience HoliMont”? It’s more than a marketing tagline. It’s more like a lifestyle suggestion that will change the way you and your family look at winter from here on out! Make sure to visit www. holimont.com and follow the club on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where you will find a very nice stream of content and storytelling photos. Whether you are interested in becoming a member at HoliMont or you want to visit the club midweek (Monday through Friday, except for the week between Christmas and New Year’s) when HoliMont is open to the public, you will always find a ski area that was founded on family values and great times on the slopes! After a very busy, and

seemingly short-lived, summer that has seen the staff at HoliMont complete a number of projects and overall area improvements, HoliMont is now primed and ready for the 2014-15 ski season. The following is a list of just some of the improvements that have been made at the club over the course of the summer. • WestMont Ridge – If you’ve been following the HoliMont social media channels you probably know that the roadways for WestMont are now complete. Despite an array of flash floods over the summer, the roads were installed and now give people a fantastic take on the layout of the project. Additionally, the slope that will eventually be HoliMont’s new terrain park was cut over the summer so that natural gas lines could be installed. • Cascade Lift Upkeep – During the off-season, one lift at HoliMont is selected to get a “facelift” so that eventually all the lifts will have one common look. This started after the installation of Exhibition Express and over the course of the summer, Cascade was remodeled so that it has a similar look. Now when you visit HoliMont you will notice the similarities between Exhibition Express, Cascade and Meadow. • Foxwood Warming Hut – The warming hut at the top of

Cascade/Greer was a huge hit last winter. Over the summer, the Buildings and Grounds crew added a deck to the warming hut, which will be a great place to take a break in between runs and take in a little vitamin D on those gorgeous bluebird days. • Chalet Bathroom Upgrades – During the summer of 2013, the HoliMont Buildings and Grounds crew did a complete remodel of the main men’s and women’s bathrooms in the chalet. This past summer, they continued on that path and remodeled the four remaining bathrooms in the chalet. • Snowmaking – The Mountain Crew spent part of the summer digging up and replacing various air and water lines throughout the area, which will make for even better snowmaking this coming season. And let’s face it … better snow is always a good thing! If you’ve been to HoliMont, then you probably have an idea of what the HoliMont experience is all about because it really is something that you have to take in firsthand. If that’s the case, then HoliMont looks forward to seeing you back this season. But if you have yet to give this quaint ski area a try, put it on your “to do” list. More likely than not, you’ll be glad you did.

Opening Soon in Ellicottville! Stop in for our Signature Barbecue! Featuring a Family atmosphere. Weekly Entertainment including Country Night, Live bands and the Best Blues Music this side of Memphis! Whichever end of the 219 you’re on, there will soon be an Armor Inn Tap Room! Room

What You Missed

Everything About Fall Fest

Continued from Front Page

Folk Art Fair and the alwayspopular Jazz & Blues Weekend, there is something for everyone with all kinds of interests. In August, Holiday Valley hosted the 2014 World Championships of the International Bowhunters Organization, bringing thousands of champion archers from around the world to our region — and the competition will be back in 2015. Of course, the Cattaraugus County Fair draws thousands more into the region, followed by the Taste of Ellicottville and Rally in the Valley. Then, of course, September brings us Rock ‘N Roll Weekend and the opening of Pumpkinville. Restaurant News Many of the Village’s restaurants have been making improvements all season long. Balloons added a large new addition and outdoor patio space to accommodate its loyal following. Madigan’s added a large second-floor deck for outdoor dining and entertaining. And Dina’s is undergoing a major expansion into the building next door to provide more dining and bar seating space, plus a private dining room for large parties. Meanwhile, Cadillac Jack’s has closed its location near Holiday Valley and is relocating to a great new spot at 24 Monroe St. in the village. The move allows the restaurant to operate year round. And, folks are eagerly awaiting the opening of the Armor Inn in the Village Centre behind Kwik Fill at Washington and Mill streets. The Hamburg, N.Y.-based barbeque and blues restaurant expects to open its new location by ski season. New Retail/Services A new spa is opening soon at the intersection of W. Washington Street and Route 242 (next to Betsy’s Consignments). The Ellicottville Salt Cave will offer exfoliation treatments, salt massage and halotherapy, or salt therapy, which has been popular in Europe for many years. And at 34 E. Washington, the do-op Gear Shop has opened to give Ellicottville sports enthusiasts access to highend, specialized sunglasses, helmets, hats, clothing and other sports accessories. Ski Area Improvements Both Holiday Valley and HoliMont ski resorts have spent the spring and summer months on improvements to make your skiing/boarding experiences ever better. Holiday Valley has invested $3.4 million on new snowmaking equipment and connecting trails, constructed a stone clock tower and bridge outside the main lodge and more. It also has invested heavily in its fourseason appeal with additions at Sky High Adventure Park, decking around the pools and renovations at the Inn at Holiday Valley (see story, page 1). HoliMont is spending $650,000 on improvements, including $250,000 in snowmaking equipment and $100,000 to install catalytic converters to reduce harmful emissions at the power plant per new EPA requirements. The balance of the resort’s upcoming projects includes chalet improvements and the

New Housing Options Galore Several new residential communities in Ellicottville are in various stages of planning and development. At 16 Martha Street, developers are renovating two existing buildings to create a 10-unit rental apartment complex and a four-unit, twostory apartment building. 42 Degrees North, a luxury, single-family-home vacation community off Poverty Hill Road, is being built by Canadian developers who expect to break ground on roads next spring (see story, page 1). One of Ellicottville’s most historic buildings — the 1887 Schoolhouse building at the corner of Jefferson and Washington streets — has been purchased by developers who plan to restore the exterior of the building to its finest. They expect to turn the property into a 7-10 unit condominium with underground parking. The Glen Burn Trail townhome development at 6422 E. Washington St. is moving along with construction of what will eventually be 38 units. Several have been sold and are now occupied. EllicottVillas, at 6394 East Washington St., offers luxurious, 3,000-plus square foot townhomes with heated garages for sale as vacation or year-round residential properties. And, the roads, sewer, water, etc. for HoliMont’s WestMont Ridge development has been completed. Closings on 21 of the 31 available lots for single-family homes sold to date are well underway and homeowners are working on their architectural plans. In addition, plans for new condominium buildings are in the design stages. Recreational Trail If you want to see an example of regional and local support coming together for a great idea, look no further than the proposed EllicottvilleGreat Valley Recreational Trail. This project was the idea of a small group of area residents who wanted to see a safe, well-maintained trail that would attract walkers, runners, bicyclists and others year round. The response from the community, both in the form of volunteerism and donations, has been remarkable. And while state grants may take several years to obtain and implement (if awarded), enough privately raised funds are expected to be available to begin the first leg of the trail within the next year. Visit www.facebook.com/evgvtrail. Local Government Projects Before the holidays, the Town of Ellicottville will have completed a large and

important water project that will alleviate water pressure problems throughout the area, improve fire hydrant performance and allow expansion efforts for public safety and development. The project required installing a new water tank on the east side of Ellicottville and connecting water lines throughout the town, village, WestMont Ridge in Mansfield and Snow Pine in Great Valley. The water project completion means that the village can get started on a $4-million-plus wastewater treatment plant in 2015. The new plant is part of a consent order placed on the Village by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and involves extensive electrical upgrades, new equipment and new systems. Ultimately, the new plant will upgrade the aging system the area currently relies on and will provide for future development. At the Ellicottville Central School campus, you can now see evidence of construction progress on the $9.8 million renovation project that includes a new multi-purpose gymnasium, renovation of 10 high school classrooms, repair of the elementary school’s ventilation systems and more. Getting Around Getting to and around Ellicottville has been a bit different recently as some necessary road construction is underway. The Southern Tier Expressway (I-86) is still closed between Salamanca and Seneca Junction (substantial completion is expected by December), but the detour along Route 417 is passable and quite scenic. Paving on Route 219 between Ellicottville and Springville was slated to be completed before Fall Festival, however finish work, such as striping, will be ongoing and weather dependent. In Ellicottville, the New York State Department of Transportation is laying water pipes along Route 242 in preparation for building sidewalks into the village. The sidewalk construction, along with rebuilding the intersection at E. Washington Street, Elizabeth Street and Fillmore Drive and improving pedestrian ramps at key intersections in the village, has been delayed until spring 2015. Be sure to watch for traffic signals, signs and flaggers along these routes throughout the fall. On the Horizon Planning doesn’t stop with the end of summer in Ellicottville, of course. By next spring, you’ll be hearing about plans from some local entrepreneurs to open an apple brandy and vodka distillery, complete with retail space and a tasting room.

42 Degrees North Continued from Front Page

be constructed for residents’ use. Common amenities will include tennis, a swimming pool, a Nordic spa, event space and more. Trails throughout the heavily wooded community, including the existing Finger Lakes Trail, will allow for year-round “passive” recreation, including hiking, biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, etc. Currently, lots range in price from $90,000 to $175,000 depending on size and location. The first 10 buyers will receive

a 50 percent discount on their purchase. Porritt says he already has five or six interested buyers. Owners will have considerable flexibility in the designs of their homes, although there are some architectural guidelines in the homeowners’ association documents. 42DN has designed several models from which to choose, all of which have natural, lodge-style exteriors that can be entirely customized. However, because there are generous setbacks on

each lot that restrict tree cutting and protect owners from seeing neighbors’ homes, buyers may hire their own architects and contractors to build their dream vacation homes. “We’re selling privacy,” says Porritt. “There won’t be a lot of micromanagement since we’ve put guidelines in place to protect owners.” For more information about 42 Degrees North, visit www.42dn.com.

Whether you visit in winter, spring, summer or fall, you’re sure to fall in love with everything that is Ellicottville!

Whitewater Park Continued from Front Page

Springville’s Scoby Dam Park that lies in Erie County, right near the border of Cattaraugus County, off Route 219. The Scoby Dam, which currently holds back too much water, could fail in the event of a flood, is aging and in disrepair, and has to be removed. Additionally, the dam prevents ecological development of fish. Because of these concerns, the project has become a joint effort of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and Erie County Parks. The Scoby Dam is one of the state’s oldest hydroelectric facilities. The $6 million project will lower the height of the damn to 10 feet in height with a gated channel and it will have a passage of 600 feet in length. The folks of Springville Whitewater Park hope to successfully introduce a betterment to the current project, which entails creating the whitewater park, where paddlers, standup paddle boarders, tubers and other whitewater aficionados can park and play at standing river wave features. In addition to this recreational use, the park would serve as a multiple use river restoration project with structures created that make eddies and pools used for fishing, and fish habitat improvements. These types of parks also create riverbank vegetation restoration, prevent bank erosion, and offer access for activities like hiking and

picnicking, as well as provide use for river ecology and conservation education, and a swift water rescue training site for rescue teams. The Springville Whitewater Park has discussed their plan with the project managers at the USACE, NYS DEC and Erie County, and the betterment plan supports their goals for fish passage, dam safety, a lamprey invasive species barrier and ecosystem restoration. Since the project is considered recreational, it cannot be federally funded, so the money for the project must come from the state or private sources. The Cattaraugus Creek was just recently added to the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, and park supporters hope that some of the $1 billion dollars that Governor Cuomo allotted to the Buffalo region can be used for the park. Most recently, Springville Whitewater Park met with the Deputy Director of Erie County. “Our goal was to convince them to sponsor the whitewater park project and help us with getting funding for the addition of a whitewater park to the project. They requested we provide them with an economic impact study and preliminary design, which we will need someone to conduct free, or come up with funding for it ourselves,” said Jeff Morreale, American Whitewater Northeast Representative and executive director of Springville Whitewater Park. The group is currently

looking at options to get these done free of charge, or for other recommendations, and will raise funds if needed. “We are still deciding on how much we need to raise, based on who will conduct the economic study and preliminary design,” explained Morreale. “Once we have determined that, we will start the fundraising, hopefully soon!” Next up, Springville Whitewater Park will be meeting with representatives in Ellicottville. “We are meeting with the Ellicottville Chamber and possibly Cattaraugus County, as they are interested in the project as a part of their new adventure tourism marketing and may help with the economic study, marketing, and possibly other funding,” Morreale said. How can you help get the project off the ground? First, consider signing the online petition at www. facebook.com/pages/ Springville-Whitewater-Park. By collecting signatures, the county legislature will have to meet with the group. “Hopefully we can convince (the legislature) to pass a resolution to include a betterment of a whitewater park to the project,” said Morreale. For more information, visit www.springvillewhitewater. org. Follow the park on Twitter or “like” their Facebook page so you can stay in the loop, and contact the park if you would like to help.

The Ellicottville Central School District’s Board of Directors approved the generally positive external audit report prepared by R. A. Mercer & Co. at its meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 7. Auditor Denise Veloski stated the district is in better financial shape overall than it was last year and that the audit was “clean” with no major problems. Only a few minor issues were identified in the firm’s management letter. Board member Connie Hellwig, who chairs the board’s Audit Committee and had already reviewed the report, said the auditors were impressed with the progress and improvements the district’s business office, led by District Treasurer Aimee Kilby, has made. “To identify no significant findings is a major success,” she said. Superintendent’s Report Superintendent Mark Ward reported that the Sept. 29 staff development day was a great success. Teachers and administrators had the opportunity to be trained in CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use and use of the school’s new copiers. Training was available on the “My Big Campus” learning management system and the “i-Ready” program that was built for the Common Core and is designed to help students and teachers track their progress in reading and mathematics and other software. Ward also reported that the board’s decision to take the state up on its offer to allow ECS to refinance its loan for past renovations of the middle and high school will actually save the district more than $100,000 over the next six

years instead of the previously estimated $60,000-$90,000. Ward also reported that costs for transporting the volleyball and football teams for off-site games is less than expected. So far, costs are only $2,300 more than last year at this time of year, but that there are also savings associated with hosting fewer home games. Basketball practice, incidentally, will be held at Allegany-Limestone and Cattaraugus-Little Valley; home court will be West Valley. Health and Safety Hellwig, representing the board’s Health and Safety Committee, attended a community-wide, emergency preparedness meeting during which fire, rescue and police authorities, teachers, administrators, and others were given an evacuation scenario. Their task was to determine a response. “It was a phenomenal learning experience,” Hellwig said. “Everyone had something important to contribute.” A critical goal of the meeting was to explain the proper “universal terminology” being used by schools, colleges, universities and other institutions across the country in case of emergency. The terms indicate different levels of emergency and the actions expected to be taken when an emergency is declared. In order of severity, the terms are “shelter in place,” “lockout,” and “lockdown.” Ward said that all children, teachers and staff will be

educated to understand this terminology and the actions expected to be taken. A quick-reference guide will be placed in all rooms and spaces throughout the school. Building, Grounds & Transportation Committee Chair Roger Spell reported that the Building, Grounds & Transportation Committee had reviewed the capital project’s finances to date and that “everything looks fine.” He also recommended that the board approve the school’s purchase of a new pickup truck with plow. After researching the costs of obtaining a used truck compared to the costs of a new vehicle at state bid pricing, the difference is negligible. “Why buy someone else’s problems when we can buy a new truck that’s under warranty,” said Spell. Purchase of a used vehicle was authorized by the board in July. Ward suggested that, since the vehicle will also be used to transport football equipment, skis and materials, the board consider pricing a cab as well in order to keep the contents dry. The board agreed and authorized the purchase. A plow also will be ordered. The Oct. 21 meeting of the board has been cancelled. The next regular meeting of the school board will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library.

the housing of the barbecue singed two eyebrows and ten knuckles, sent wine glasses rolling across a table top and caused at least two moose in Algonquin Park to cock their antlered heads in that curious way that says, “Bob? Was that you?” The cast iron top exploded off its hinges and missed Bob’s head by inches. “You need a new barbecue,” said Adam. I asked to speak to Bob, but I was told he was on his way back to the cottage from Toronto, no doubt speeding north on southbound Highway #400 wondering why all the other drivers are giving him the finger. I called Frankie. She was horrified ... that it wasn’t my fault. I informed her that I’d be buying a bigger and better barbecue out of Bob’s damage deposit - “It’s called an ‘upgrade,’ Frankie.” I asked her to quit calling me with tales of false hope. “Please Frankie, never call and say that guy almost died. Guys like that are supposed to die in order to enhance the gene pool. I mean what if one day he woke up and decided to reproduce?!?” As I said, I’m no longer a landlord.

face. I imagine it was her best day ever on the job. I immediately called Adam, a smart kid who lived in the nearby village. Adam started the summer doing yard work at the cottage and created a whole new career for himself by fixing things my renters wrecked. “See if the barbecue is salvageable and you’ll probably need to get a new regulator,” I said. A few hours later, Adam called me back. He had gone to the cottage, and although BBQ Bob had gone back to the city for the day, his wife and sister-in-law were there. “It wasn’t the regulator,” Adam began. As the story goes, the girls were drinking wine at the patio table and watching Bob do something he’d apparently fantasized about but never actually done before operate a barbecue. Bob wanted to put on a good show for the ladies by first demonstrating his mastery of the outdoor cooking machine itself so he ... “He switched the tanks,” said Adam. The tank didn’t need changing, but no matter. Then he ... “He got the threads crossed.” Okay, now he’s got gas coming out of the tank and ... “Then he turned both burners on.” Now he’s got gas shooting out from three sources and let me guess, “He hit the starter?” “No. Then he sprayed barbecue starter fluid into the barbecue.” That would be volatile, inflammable, methanol barbecue starter, normally used on charcoal barbecues. “Then he hit the starter.” The fireball that erupted from

I used to be a landlord. For six summers, I rented up north through an agency where my contact was a nasty woman name Frankie. Her two-pronged business policy was that the renters she sent me had to be rowdy and destructive, and when bad things happened, it was always my fault. When the kid ran through the kitchen screen and somebody busted the sliding glass door downstairs and, contrary to the rental agreement, a guy showed up with a big honkin’ jet ski — it was my fault. “The place is old and needs an upgrade,” she would say, and “you live too far away to handle these problems.” The place was solid and functional and I wrongly believed that’s why I was paying Frankie fifteen percent of the rental fees ... to solve the problems. One day Frankie called me and I detected a tone of delight in her voice, which meant something must have gone seriously wrong at my cottage. A client from Toronto had lit the barbecue the previous evening and it had exploded. The steel cover had blown off and landed one story below in the backyard. I was told he extinguished the flames with a seltzer bottle, which is an odd thing to bring for a week at the cottage. “The regulator was faulty,” said Frankie. “That barbecue was not properly maintained.” The barbecue was nearly new and working fine when I used it the previous week. “You could be charged for something like that. You’re lucky that guy wasn’t killed.” Frankie hung up before tears of joy began streaming down her

Nightmare Hayrides a Scary Good Time Gothic Chamber New this Year

By Jennie Acklin

Starting this weekend, Friday, Oct. 3, you’ll hear shrieking screams, highpitched squeals and nervous laughter from scared stiff groupies even as you approach the Nightmare Hayrides site, known to be the scariest attraction in Western New York. Nightmare Hayrides on Sommerville St., owned and operated by John and Karen Kent of Ellicottville, has been scaring anyone who dares to come for 24 years now. If you are brave enough to take a tractor-drawn covered hay wagon ride down a dark, eerie path after dark, John promises to “scare you good this year!” “Once you arrive at the covered wagons this year, we will keep you dry,” said Karen. “The loading and unloading areas are under cover, inside the newly constructed pole buildings. People come by the carloads, whether it’s raining or a sunny day, but it’s a spookier, scarier experience if it’s a rainy, blustery night.” What’s so scary about a hayride in the dark? Plenty … starting with the all-new Gothic Chamber (no spoilers here – you’ll just have to experience it yourself). Chainsaws, real skeletons, maggot heads, the Gothic

Chamber, the Vortex Tunnel, a wooden Haunted Maze, the Haunted Barn and, of course, the Haunted Hayride through the cornfield with live zombies waiting to snatch you at every turn. You’re about to find out just how brave you actually are when you tested by an eerie walk through a haunted maze that twists and turns over an acre of haunted countryside. The maze leads directly into the Haunted Barn with disorienting, long dark hallways where monsters hide. You’ll want to bring a friend to share the scares. Once you survive the maze, chambers, tunnels, hayride and other hauntings, you can laugh off your nervousness at the Cook Shack. Enjoy hot and cold drinks, homemade soup and chili, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, chili in a bag, tacos in a bag, and cookies while sharing “and then it popped up out of nowhere” stories and lots of laughs. “It’s a fun thing to do for the young and old, for families, and for those who like a good scream and lots of laughter!” said Kent. This scary good experience takes about 40 minutes, and is open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. through Nov. 2.

And if you think you hear the sly snort of a werewolf over your shoulder as you patiently wait to begin your ride, turn slowly … very, very slowly. The ghosts and ghouls even lurk in the boarding and waiting areas. There’s no escape from a good scare! Nightmare Hayrides take place at the same location as the Ellicottville Rodeo at 6319 Sommerville Valley Rd., just off Sugartown Road, and it only takes a few minutes to get there from the village. The Nightmare Hayrides run through Nov. 2. No reservations are needed and tickets are $17. For more information or for group rates, contact John and Karen Kent at Nightmare Hayrides, (716) 699-4839, or visit their website at NightmareHayride.com.

Health & Fitness: Build an Automatic Training Program

By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer

I have had the good fortune of training many elite skiers as a personal trainer in Ellicottville, N.Y. As a personal trainer, I believe the best way to get in shape for ski season is to already be in shape. However, even I fluctuate with my training routine and find that I am in better fitness form at different times of the year. What is difficult for even the most seasoned athletes is adherence or sustaining a perfect training plan year round. Sometimes what knocks you off your fitness ladder is an illness or injury. Other

times, it is boredom with your workouts or just being too busy to maintain the fitness level you desire. Recently, I read an amazing article by David Lawrence on “How to Build an Automatic Training Program.” Lawrence is on the PSIA Nordic Team. After a recent health setback, he is honing the perfect training program that balances life, business, time and health. Lawrence believes in creating automatic environmental training triggers (AETT), which make adherence to a training program much easier. You follow this principle when you schedule a run with a friend or go to a workout class. By creating social pressure and accountability, you create AETT. Lawrence goes on to describe how he also sets a timer on his phone to cue him to take a break and do a quick exercise cycle: push-ups, planks, squats, jump rope, pull-ups and dips. There is virtually no gear needed (except a jump rope)

and it takes approximately eight minutes. Another tactic he uses is getting rid of his office chair and creating a standing workstation. Also, if you hate training in a gym but love the outdoors, create a trail running course with obstacles that are challenging and fun. That way your activity does not take a lot of willpower. Most people I talk with about maintaining a training program seem to fall into similar ruts when trying to balance work, families and fitness. By creating these mini workouts, you will keep your body moving and in shape. This way you are not starting from scratch when you really want to dial in your fitness level. In my next article, I will get more specific with exercise principles and exercises that work your “ski muscles.” Until then, stay active and stay healthy!

Signore Site Continued from Front Page

by Signore, was found to be contaminated by low concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) both in the surrounding soil and groundwater. Both public and private drinking water wells were contaminated “due to spills, leakage and other plant operations,” as noted in the DEP’s Interim Remedial Measures (IRM) work plan. Over the years, Signore undertook a number of statedirected studies and IRMs designed to protect the water supply by installing interceptor wells and connecting 34 residential properties to the

municipal system. When the property was purchased by Iskalo, additional environmental studies were done to assess ongoing issues; further soil and groundwater contamination was detected. Iskalo applied to the State Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) for assistance and its application was accepted in January 2011. Since then, Iskalo has followed the BCP’s requirements for remediation, including removing contaminated soil and several underground tanks and replacing the soil with clean

fill. Chiazza said Iskalo still has no specific plans for developing the site since its focus has been on cleanup. “Next year we’ll start reacquainting ourselves with the property,” he said. “When we have some ideas, we’ll have discussions with village officials about our thoughts and get their reactions.” A portion of the property currently is zoned for medium density residential development. The rest is zoned for industrial development.

LEGAL MATTERS:

What is Different About Buying or Selling a Co-operative Unit?

By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, At t orney s and Counsel ors of L aw

Legal Matters is a regular column intended to address general legal concerns. Since every client walks in the door with a different set of circumstances, you should not rely on this column to provide specific legal advice. If you are in need of specific legal advice, please consult with an attorney; he or she will provide advice that is unique and tailored to your legal needs. The small claims court system is a very efficient way to resolve issues where the maximum relief sought is $5,000 in cities and $3,000 in towns and villages. Filing fees are minimal, and the system is designed to eliminate the need for attorneys. Thus, the cost of utilizing the small claims system is very low. To file a complaint in small claims court, the complainant

must be at least 18 years of age. He should visit his local court clerk to fill out a complaint, including a brief statement of the facts supporting his claim. The filing fee ranges from $15-$20, usually depending on how much the complainant is seeking in damages. A trial date will be assigned at this time. Generally, if a complainant is bringing an action in a town or village court, he may only file a complaint against a person that resides in that municipality or a business whose primary business location is in that municipality. A city’s small claims court typically has jurisdiction over any defendant who resides in the city’s county. Most small claims courts send the notice of claim to the defendant — by both certified mail and regular first-class mail. The notice of claim gives the defendant the date of trial, the complainant’s brief statement on which his case is based, and the amount of money sought. A non-party to the action may also personally deliver the notice to defendant. Complainant should check with the court to determine what happens if defendant is not able to be served (notices are returned as undeliverable). Defendant will have the opportunity to file a counterclaim (for an amount

up to the maximum allowed to complainant), and he must formalize this by filing his counterclaim with the court within five days of receiving complainant’s notice of claim. Both claims will be tried on the trial date. Trials at small claims court are informal. Each party is allowed to present documentation (invoices, cashed checks, contracts, etc.) that supports his case, and the judge or hearing officer may ask questions to obtain further information or opinions. Adjournments are discouraged, but each party is usually allowed one adjournment depending on the circumstances of the case and reasons for the requested adjournment. The case of complainant who fails to appear at trial may be dismissed; similarly, a default judgment may be entered against a defendant who fails to show for trial without an adjournment having been requested and granted. Any person considering a small claims action should contact an attorney to discuss the possibilities, but most attorneys favor a resolution through small claims court if the circumstances warrant it. Judicial and financial efficiency is preferable.

Letter to the Editor Help Make Fall Festival Safe and Enjoyable As Ellicottville readies itself to host its largest Festival of the year, we would like to let you know what we have been working on. The Special Events Committee, Ellicottville Police Department, Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department, NY State Police, EVL Fire Department, Village and Town Boards, Code Enforcement, DPW, Chamber of Commerce, along with input from local residents, merchants and bar owners, have been working diligently on ways to improve and refine Fall Festival as we know it. Numerous work sessions and meetings have been conducted to review and address both the weak and the strong points of the festival, with the main goal being to provide a quality event while maintaining safety, control and integrity to our residents, guests and properties. ZERO TOLERANCE is the LAW and will be strictly enforced. This means absolutely no alcohol is allowed on village streets. You will not be allowed to leave an establishment or private property, walk to, from or within the village with open containers. Drink it or leave it.

RESTROOMS: There will be plenty of Port-o-Johns provided throughout the festival area. They are cleaned routinely, use them! Public urination is against the law. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID LOCATION: Sheriff and First Aid trailers will be located on Washington Street by Coffee Culture. OCCUPANCY CODES: Code enforcement officer will be on duty to inspect occupancy loads, both public and private. CELL SERVICE: Have a plan if the towers go down. Know where to meet if you are separated. VENDORS are to visibly display vendor and health department permits on tents. Sandwich boards, tables/chairs, will not be allowed in order to keep sidewalks and tree lawns open to line of sight for emergency personnel. Help make Fall Festival safe and enjoyable. If you see something illegal, report it. If you see a mess, clean it up. Play by the rules. The future of Fall Fest depends on it. Sincerely, Special Events Committee, Ellicottville Village and Town Boards, Local, County and State Police Departments, Ellicottville Fire Department, Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce.

BREAST CANCER A W A R E N E S S M O N T H

NATIONAL

Springville, N.Y. – This October, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital is proud to participate in National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women. About one in eight women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point. The good news is that many women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. For 2014, the American Cancer Society estimates that more than 230,000 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer — or more than 600 per day. Talk to a doctor about your risk for breast cancer, especially if a close family member of yours has had breast or ovarian cancer. Your doctor can help you decide when and how often to get mammograms. The imaging department at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital encourages all women to take time each month to do a breast self-exam. And if you are a woman over the age of 40, make your health a priority and schedule a mammogram every year or as recommended by your doctor. Mammography can detect cancer at its most treatable and early stages. Bertrand Chaffee Hospital is a Pink Ribbon Facility™ and offers state-of-the-art digital mammography with convenient evening hours. Contact (716) 592-8169 for an appointment or more information. Since 1946, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital in Springville has served the healthcare needs of residents in southern Erie, northern Cattaraugus

Ellicottville Sports Roundup Boosters Parking Cars at Signore for Fall Fest

By Todd Palmatier

In ECS soccer, the varsity boys continued their winning ways over the last week, finishing the week 2-0. The team beat Franklinville 3-0 and Salamanca 3-1. The boys are now 9-3 overall and 8-2 in league play. The boys’ modified program improved their record to 8-1 with a 7-1 victory over Salamanca. The varsity girls’ soccer team finished the week with a 2-1 record, with victories over Randolph 3-2 and West Valley 3-2, and a 3-0 loss to Allegany-Limestone. The JV soccer girls finished the week 0-2, with losses to Allegany-Limestone and Holland. The modified girls also finished the week with a 0-2 record with losses to AlleganyLimestone and Randolph. The Ellicottville-Franklinville varsity football team lost a heartbreaking game to the Randolph Cardinals on Friday night 28-0. The varsity squad is hosting a Homecoming game this Friday versus the CattaraugusLittle Valley Timberwolves and

the outright sole possession of second place in class D Football. The JV football squad took on the Cardinals on Monday night and raced out to a 28-14 win. The JV squad is 5-0 and takes on Cattaraugus-Little Valley next Tuesday at Catt/LV at 4:30pm. The Ellicottville Little Eagles Pee Wee program finished the season 6-0 with a victory over the Springville Griffins. The Eagles are the No. 1 seed in the Pee Wee division and will host the second round of the playoffs at ECS on Oct. 19 with a 1:30 p.m. start. The Ellicottville Midget squad lost a hard-fought battle to the Springville Griffins 7-0 and finished the season at 4-2. They earned the No. 5 seed in the playoffs and take on the Salamanca Sabers at 3 p.m. this Saturday in Franklinville. The Ellicottville Sports Boosters will be parking cars at the Signore property on Route 219 and could use some help. The times are 10 a.m.–6 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. This is one

of their major fundraisers for the year, as they are always helping the student athletes. So far, the Booster Club has purchased new homerun fences for the softball diamond, Eagles banners for the sports complex and state title banners for the new gym. They have helped all sports teams run or attend sport-specific clinics, and they have donated all the food for all the sports banquets for the past few years. In conjunction with the Little Eagles football program, they are investing in the new sound system for the athletic complex at ECS. This was a major undertaking and cost well over $3,000. The Ellicottville Little Eagles will also be running their concession stand at Fall Festival, which will be located in front of Coffee Culture. This will help the football program purchase new equipment for the future, as they continue to buy new and improved gear to keep the kids safe in football. We hope that everyone can come out and support these two fine organizations!

shopping in a mall from store to store, shoppers can make their way from booth to booth finding original, handcrafted, one-of-a kind, affordable holiday gifts,” she said. Regional artists will display and sell many cash-and-carry items. Shoppers can expect to find cards, books, prints, jewelry, pottery, ornaments, as well as paintings, stained glass, basket weaving, woodcarving, photography and more. The Routes to Art program is designed to promote the collective arts community while advancing cultural tourism and enhancing enjoyment of life in the Southern Tier. Starting in 2015, Routes to

Art will transition to a yearround open studio program and will include the November Holiday Sale, an online artist directory, and a spring exhibition at the Jamestown Community College Olean campus, where you will be able to preview work by participating artists. New for next year, the traditional May open studio tour weekend will change to a one-day event where visitors can view and purchase work and watch artist demonstrations — all in one centralized location. During the Nov. 16, 2014, Routes to Art Holiday Sale, artists will accept cash, checks and credits cards.

Ready or Not, Winter is on Its Way Trained Pros Ready to for Lessons, Clinics, Coaching

By Ron Kubicki, Director of Holiday Valley Snowsports School

Greetings everyone! Well, I am getting fewer warm rides on my motorcycle, fall colors are evident in the hills and my horse is getting that fuzzy

look they get in the winter as they grow their winter coat. So, without looking at the calendar, I’d say, winter is on its way. With that in mind, I thought I would take this opportunity to remind you of the fun that the Holiday Valley Snowsports School offers throughout the ski and snowboard season. We have a dedicated staff of professional ski and snowboard instructors who work and train earnestly to improve their skills in order to offer a higher value to your and your family. Our school has already begun weekly indoor coaching and planning sessions. Last season, a number of our staff completed a nationally accredited course in childrenspecific snowsports coaching,

these new Children’s Specialist One and Two are training and coaching during our preseason training sessions with our children’s and adult staff. In addition, we had a number of our teachers achieve higher levels of certification in either skiing or snowboarding, and they are passing along their newly acquired knowledge and excitement to their colleagues and peers. We are Holiday Valley Snowsports School, and we are continually improving and evolving to achieve a higher service level and value for you, our guests. Whatever your or your family’s skill level, we have the ability to enhance your on-snow experience from fundamentals to high-end tactics to enable you to deal

with varying conditions and terrain here and wherever else you travel. Our children’s program begins at age 3 with our Cub Cadet (skier) and Spurs (snowboard) beginner lessons, and through age 11 Trailblazers and Bronc’ Busters who ski and ride the entire mountain. The beginning youngsters, ages 3–6, begin their adventures at the Outpost, our children’s terrain-based learning environment fashioned after the successful Burton Riglet program. The higher levels use our entire mountain as their terrain-based learning environment. We also offer Rangers, a season-long program where children ski and ride with the same coach and group

of similarly aged and skilled friends. This is a fast-paced and fun program with parties, races and season-long instruction. This bunch learns and advances as a group, believe me these kids “rock the mountain!” For ages 12 through adult, we have a full slate of packages and clinics to introduce you or your friends to our sport or to improve and increase your level of enjoyment on-snow. For intermediate to expert women skiers, we have the nationally acclaimed Lisa Densmore “It’s Your Turn” women’s clinic Feb 12-13, 2015. This is a valuable twoday session with Lisa and our talented women instructors. It is two days on-snow, video analysis, breakfast together, a banquet and more, and we have

a number of women who take this every season. Once the season is underway, each week we offer special, focused clinics for both men and women. Just check at our Snowsports desks located in Creekside Lodge or the Lodge at Holiday Valley for details and availability. Please take the opportunity this season to ski or ride with one of our talented pros. It will be time well spent! So, layer up, find your equipment and maintain your fitness regimen. Winter is coming and I look forward to seeing you on the slopes! Now, I gotta go feed a bunch of fuzzy horses.
