Ready, Set, Go! EVL Half and 5K This Weekend The EVL Half and 5K makes its way into town for the second year in a row this weekend for a fun-filled event, sure to get feet movin’ and hearts racin’. On Saturday, Oct. 24, the village will be filled with decked out runners competing in races of two distances. Both the half marathon (11 a.m. start) and the 5K (11:15 a.m. start) begin and end in the heart of town at 5 Monroe Street. While the scenery in itself gives competitors something to look at along the way, add in an array of cool, scary and just plain fun costumes, and you’ve got yourself a memorable race and a great way to enjoy fall, Ellicottville-style. Runners will follow it up with a post-race party at Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC), where the 5K awards will be given at 12:30 p.m., followed by the half marathon awards at 2:30 p.m. For the top runners, prizes include custom designed medals, as well as men’s and women’s shirts for the top half marathon and 5K finishers in a variety of age groups and categories. In addition, costume awards will be given by Watson’s Chocolates for best group, best individual, funniest, scariest, most girly, best kid and best in show. If you’re signed up, you can pick up your race packet Friday evening and Saturday morning at EBC. The 5K is sold out, but there may be open spots left for the half marathon. Online registration is open until midnight on Friday, Oct. 23, or stop by registration Saturday morning to see if there is still space. For more info, visit www. evlhalf.com.

Our total fund balance at the end of our last fiscal year was $1,902,921.” Seven years before, the fund balance stood at $763,829. “During the same seven year See State of the Town page 5
Reviving a Gathering Place Rowland’s Country Kitchen Opens in GV By Colleen Mahoney
Keeping family together is important to Dawn Rowland, as is giving her community a place to gather. So much so, that she opened Rowland’s Country Kitchen in Great Valley. In the same location as the former Sandy’s Bakery, Rowland’s Country Kitchen brings back a place for residents to come together while giving Rowland some much needed family time. Staffed by Rowland, her husband Steve, and their three children, Steven, Clayton Rowland’s Country Kitchen hopes to give the community a place to gather and chat.

Mansfield Passes 2016 Budget Fire Protection Districts Approved By Jann Wiswall
The Town of Mansfield’s board held a public hearing on the preliminary 2016 budget on Monday, Oct. 19. With no one present to comment, the board closed the hearing and
approved the budget as final. The final budget shows projected revenues for 2016 as $361,245 for the general fund (compared to $352,845 in 2015) and $794,628 for the highway department (compared to $966,927 in 2015 – which included FEMA
monies). Projected expenses in each category are the same to balance the budget. The general fund expense budget is an increase of $8,000 over 2015, due primarily to increases in workers’ compensation and property See Mansfield Board page 5

Eat Out During Restaurant Week 2015 for $20.15 Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce is organizing its second Restaurant Week, Monday, Nov. 2 – Sunday, Nov. 8. “The idea behind Olean Restaurant Week is to highlight the abundance of diverse dining options we have in our area. We want people to try new restaurants and new food!” stated Meme Yanetsko, GOACC Chief Operating Officer. Any restaurant within the Olean area is eligible to participate. The participating restaurants will need to offer ONE three-course prix fixe* dinner menu for $20.15 that must be offered the entire week. If restaurants are only opened for lunch, a lunch option will be suitable.
“Fourteen restaurants participated in our first Restaurant Week in February. We were pleased with the participation!” stated, Meme K. Yanetsko, Chief Operating Officer. “Comments from the participating restaurants: We sold out of our dinner special! Great idea. We also promoted the specials online and inhouse. We did pretty good -lunch crowd was exceptional. Many people tried our special that wouldn’t have tried it as a regular menu item. We would love to do this restaurant week twice or thrice a year! The table tent cards you provided help promote the specials to our customers,” added Mrs. Yanetsko. As a minimum, each participating restaurant MUST offer a specially discounted
three-item (or more) dinner menu at $20.15. This should be a deal that customers cannot regularly enjoy. Beverages are not required, but may be added to incentivize the deal. In addition to the meal above, a restaurant can promote a special lunch option. The $10.15 lunch special must include a two-item (or more) meal. Lunch specials are not required, but are highly recommended. Also dining features priced at $30.15 or $40.15 may also be used, if needed, in addition to the one required at $20.15. Lunch and/ or dinner for two for $20.15, $30.15, and/or $40.15 can be popular. For more information, please call the Chamber 372-4433 or email info@oleanny.com.

The Midget Eagles take on Allegany this Saturday during the Super Bowl at Catt/LV Central School at 5 p.m. On Oct. 18, the Ellicottville Pee Wee Eagles beat the Salamanca Pee Wee Sabers on a cold, snowy Sunday in Randolph by a score of 3126.

State of the Town
OPEN HOUSE
Continued from front page
The full text of the report will be published in the Oct. 30 edition of the Ellicottville Times. During the meeting, the board also heard a presentation from its insurance agent, Randy Glenn from the Evans Agency. Glenn explained that he had worked with department heads to itemize all town property, vehicles and equipment and recommended a level of coverage similar to what the town has carried in the past. Due to the acquisition of newer highway department vehicles, installation of the east water tank and other additions to town property, the proposed 2016 policy will cost about $1,780 more than last year. Glenn recommended that the board consider adding data breach coverage at a cost of $333 per year. He also said that the value of a few items, including the new booster pump stations at the water treatment plant, still needs to be provided, which could change the policy cost. The board felt that adding the data breach coverage is advisable and will review the full policy and provide feedback. Supervisor’s Report Burrell said that he has received numerous complaints about a strobe light that was installed, without permission, on a cell phone tower near Jackman Hill Road. The light can be seen from a great distance both on the ground and in the air and is considered a safety hazard for pilots and an annoyance for residents and drivers. The tower’s owners will be instructed to remove the light immediately. Letters to residents about the new local alarm law and the requirement to register automatic home alarms were sent to all residents through their water bills. Town Clerk Robyn George reported that people are already sending in their registrations, which are due by February. One person called George to ask if the law requires homeowners to install alarms. It does not. Alarms are optional.
Burrell distributed an early draft copy of the 2016 budget which so far includes a summary of anticipated expenses, including department heads’ wish lists. There are still quite a few holes that need to be ďŹ lled and revenues have not yet been calculated. Burrell suggested that the board gather for weekly budget meetings to hammer out the details. The ďŹ rst meeting will be held Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. Police Department Report Police OfďŹ cer-in-Charge Don Auge reported that Fall Festival was one of the busiest he remembers. The department had a total of 64 calls for service and eight calls for assistance from the Sheriff’s Department or from EMS. He noted that policing at Holiday Valley during the weekend was simpliďŹ ed signiďŹ cantly over past years thanks to Holiday Valley Road’s new route. Auge said he has several ideas to improve coverage and enforcement next year, including establishing command centers, posting signs regarding the open container law at various entry points to the Village and keeping ofďŹ cers around the perimeter of the Village. These and other ideas have been shared with the Village’s Special Events Committee. Highway Department Report Highway Superintendent Loyd Hovey and Burrell saw a demonstration of a Tennant oor sweeper at the highway barn and were impressed with its effectiveness and dust control. Hovey will include the $7,000-$8,000 machine cost in his department’s 2016 budget request. The board also discussed construction strategy for a budgeted fuel storage roof at the highway barn. Following an executive session, the board returned to the public meeting to approve a new three-year contract with the Teamsters, which represents the non-management highway department staff. The next meeting of the town board will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 28 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall. All are welcome.

MansďŹ eld Board insurance costs. The board did not budget raises for itself, the supervisor and some other nonhighway employees for 2016. The budget shows an increase of about $15,000 to the highway budget to cover salt cost increases and a one percent salary increase for department staff for 2016, by signiďŹ cantly reducing the highway machinery budget for the coming year. In addition, costs for state retirement are projected to be lower in 2016 than in the past few years. Since 2013, the tax rate per thousand dollars of assessed property value in MansďŹ eld has been $4.75. For 2016, the board proposes to reduce that ďŹ gure to $4.73 per thousand. New Fire Districts Formed As reported in July, the town of MansďŹ eld has been working with the Ellicottville Fire Department (EFD), its commissioner and the Board of Fire Commissioners to create a new ďŹ re protection district that will be covered by the EFD. Currently, about two-thirds of MansďŹ eld is covered by its own ďŹ re department. The other third is covered by the Little Valley Fire Department. In practice, however, when an emergency occurs in MansďŹ eld areas near Ellicottville, the EFD usually arrives on scene before the MansďŹ eld FD due to its distance and the fact that the MFD is much smaller and has fewer volunteers. The new district abuts the border of Ellicottville and is physically several miles closer to the Ellicottville Fire Hall
Continued from front page
than it is to the MansďŹ eld Fire Hall. The intent of the agreement is to provide faster emergency ďŹ re response in this area. Roughly speaking, the area to be covered by the EFD includes Ellicottville Maples Road to Hencoop Hollow, up Watson to Windsor, Windsor to Rt. 242 and back into Ellicottville. Properties with street addresses on both sides of each boundary road are included in the new district. An ofďŹ cial map of the area will be shared with the community once contracts are ďŹ nalized by the end of 2015 and will be posted at each ďŹ re hall, the MansďŹ eld Town Hall, the MansďŹ eld Highway Department and elsewhere as needed. Ambulance service in MansďŹ eld is covered by two ambulance services – Little Valley and Ellicottville/ Great Valley. The dividing line is California Hill-Reed Hill, which divides the town roughly in half from north to south. Residents to the west are covered by Little Valley; to the east by EVGV. No changes to ambulance districts are being proposed. Meanwhile, MansďŹ eld’s Supervisor Bob Keis has calculated ďŹ re taxes for the new EFD district. Ellicottville property owners currently pay less ďŹ re tax ($.53 per $1000 of assessed property value) than do MansďŹ eld property owners, who pay $.87/$1000. The
new Ellicottville ďŹ re district property owners will be taxed at the same rate as Ellicottville property owners. Because fewer properties will be paying into the other two MansďŹ eld ďŹ re districts, those property owners may pay a few cents more than they have in the past (but no more than 2% more). Those calculations have not yet been ďŹ nalized. The board approved the new ďŹ re protection maps as shown during its Oct. meeting, and authorized Keis to have ďŹ nal maps drawn and sign two-year contracts with the three ďŹ re departments. In other business, Keis reported that the State Division of the Budget has approved the government efďŹ ciency plan submitted by the town in July. The plan demonstrates how the town can save one percent of its operating budget by consolidating services with other municipalities. MansďŹ eld teamed with the town and village of Ellicottville to show how their intermunicipal agreement for water and sewer service at WestMont Ridge (which is in MansďŹ eld) meets the state’s criteria for consolidation. The plan now must be approved by the State Department of Taxation and Finance. The next meeting of the MansďŹ eld town board will be held on Monday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m.

period,â€? it continued, “our long term indebtedness has gone down from $510,065 to $143,271â€? after the town paid off the “bonds on the ďŹ re station this summer, a year early, saving taxpayer dollars.â€? During the 2016 budget process, which has begun, Burrell’s report said the town expects to “hold our very low tax rate while continuing to provide the same or better services.â€? The report credited some money saving efforts for some of the town’s ďŹ nancial success. “We have joined the National Joint Powers Alliance allowing us to make purchases through existing national low bids. We have cut staff in the Town Hall. Today, the Supervisor, Supervisor’s Clerk and Town Clerk are doing what was being done by four people. We have complied with State requirements that will allow taxpayers to be eligible for New York State’s Tax Freeze Credit. In addition, because of a good employee safety record, we will see an approximate 10 percent reduction in our Worker’s Compensation premium.â€? The report goes on to compliment the work of the entire town staff and others who work on its behalf, including court staff, the town assessor, maintenance staff, the police department, the planning and zoning boards, the assessment review board, the building inspector, the town engineer the town engineer, the highway department staff and others. It also pointed to some speciďŹ c project successes, including the completion of the East Tank project, which came in under budget and was awarded a state grant to offset its costs, and the completion of the Holiday Valley Road project, “which was completely paid for by Holiday Valley Resort.â€? After construction, the new road was dedicated to the town, which will maintain it. The report stated that “the ďŹ ve members of the Town Board continue to work well together. We are all committed to do what is best for our citizens and taxpayers.â€?

reported that he, two planning board members and the code enforcement ofďŹ cer recently met informally with Iskalo representatives to discuss possible options. It was explained that the property is zoned for industrial, medium density residential and conservation uses. Mayor Coolidge said that a number of ideas were oated and that Iskalo “wanted to know what we were thinking about possible uses.â€? Iskalo also explained that, from its perspective, developing the property is a long-term planning process, perhaps 7-8 years. The ďŹ rm’s representatives plan to meet with the planning board in the future during a work session. Code Enforcement for Rental Homes There have been a number of complaints about village rental homes recently. Apparently, too many people have been occupying individual rental homes for a weekend or period of less than 30 days and are bringing more vehicles than are permitted. And, at least one property with a permit to operate as a Bed & Breakfasts is violating the requirement that the property owner must live full-time on the premises. Village Law prohibits shortterm rentals of properties within the village for less than 30 days. The only exceptions are for properties that lie within the Village’s “high-densityâ€? zoning district and in a small number of homes that had permits (and whose owners renew those permits annually) before the law went into effect in 2005. Each of those properties has an occupancy limit.
A list of properties permitted to rent their dwellings for less than 30 days is available in the Village Clerk’s ofďŹ ce. No new permits may be issued for rentals for less than 30 days. According to a letter sent to realtors reminding them of the law in 2007, “Maximum occupancy for each individual property has been established by the CEO [Code Enforcement OfďŹ cer] in accordance with NYS Building Codes. Use of the properties for greater numbers of renters than approved by the conditions of [a] Conditional Use Permit shall be considered a violation and subject to the penalties speciďŹ ed by the Zoning Local Law of 2005 (Section 20.C). The board agreed to do some additional research into speciďŹ c violations, and asked the code enforcement ofďŹ cer to revoke Bed & Breakfast permits at certain properties. It also noted that realtors are responsible for explaining the rental ordinance to buyers interested in the rental market and that the board is concerned that realtors may be renting the properties in violation of the ordinance. Engineer’s Report Village Engineer Mike Smith reported that the waste water treatment plant work is proceeding and that lagoon #4 is a little damp. Two
payment requests were made for contractor work and were approved for payment by the board. There will be an onsite progress meeting this week – hardhats and boots required. Special Events Report Coolidge stated that this year’s Fall Festival was “probably one of the better ones we’ve had.â€? Patra Lowes, special events committee chair, said that improvements on the list for next year will include more daytime enforcement, more enforcement toward HoliMont, perimeter control and a possible cap on the number of vendors. Lowes also reported that registration for this weekend’s EVL Half and 5K is at 1400 people; registration has closed for the Half, 5K registration may be available on race day. New Business Coolidge noted that new Christmas tree lights have been budgeted this year. The village is investigating the purchase a new style of halogen lights that are more energy efďŹ cient. The list of residents with unpaid Village taxes has been compiled and is being sent to Cattaraugus County ofďŹ ces for collection. The next meeting of the Village board will be held on Monday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. in the village/town hall.

and Allison, the restaurant currently serves breakfast and a wide array of baked goods. Within the next few weeks, Rowland would like to have a lunch menu set and eventually offer a ďŹ sh fry on Fridays. For now, however, she’s focused on building her new business with her family by her side. “I wanted us to be together, to do something with the kids,â€? Rowland explained. “[My kids] play football and basketball, so there is a lot of running them around. We just try to get in a little family time.â€? Of course, having her children working beside her has its beneďŹ ts. Rowland said that while working in the new family business, her children are learning valuable life lessons, including real responsibility and money management. “It helps teach the kids the responsibility of having their own money, having their own job,â€? she said. “It’s their personal choice ‌ if they want to get their own job somewhere else, that’s ďŹ ne. But I hope this does teach them something.â€? Rowland spends her nights baking pastries and donuts after attending the children’s sporting events. On Wednesday through Saturday mornings, she and husband Steve work in the restaurant, working around their full time jobs. Thankfully, she said, the community has been very receptive to their hectic family schedule. “I think they realize we’re just locals trying to keep things local,“ she said of her customers.

We’ve all heard the saying “knowledge is power,â€? and in the industry of health and ďŹ tness, there are no greater words. We know that we need something to get us headed in the right direction for better health and ďŹ tness. However, not all of us are ready to join a gym or ďŹ tness class just yet. So, if I can encourage you to do one thing that will get you headed in the right direction, it is to move‌walk, shufe, push yourself to get up and go. It has been found that aerobic exercise of any intensity or duration can improve stamina, decrease stress and aid in weight loss. If you are presently sedentary or exercise very irregularly, adding 30
minutes of aerobic activity, 5-6 times per week will greatly improve your chances of improved health. The intensity of the aerobic activity is related to the level of oxygen consumption and the energy demands of your contracting muscles. Intensity is perhaps the most important variable that can affect your ďŹ tness, endurance and aerobic power. The intensity at which you exercise is measured in heartbeats per minute (your pulse). The intensity range (your target zone) you choose is also related to many factors such as your present ďŹ tness level, your desire to burn fat and lose weight, the activity that you have chosen and your health status. Heart rate is a guiding factor for the intensity level of aerobic training. Most heart rate calculations of intensity use your maximum heart rate (max HR), which is the highest heart rate you can attain during hard exercise. As a rule, any man over 40 or woman over 50 who is thinking about exercising at moderate to high intensities should consider having a stress test. This will screen for
electrical changes indicative of decreased heart blood supply and give you a maximum heart rate and a training zone prescription. You can also get an idea of your maximum heart rate from supervised short aerobic testing. This is usually safe for people under age 40 with no other medical problems or risk for heart disease. You can estimate your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from the number 220. Fit people over age 40 may have a maximum heart rate that is underestimated by that formula. Your maximum heart rate times a range of percentages – from 60-85% max HR – will give you an estimate of your various training zones. There is much more to share to help you to understand Heart Zone Training. In my next article I will explain how to calculate your heart rate training zones. This will allow you to choose intensity zones appropriate for accomplishing certain goals. In the meantime, take a walk, go for a hike or park a little further away from your destination. Your heart is waiting and will reward you with more stamina and better overall health.

The Rowland family, owners and staff of the new Rowland’s Country Kitchen. From left, Allison, Steve, Clayton and Dawn, not pictured is son Steven.
Rowland credits the previous proprietor, Sandy Rust, for getting Rowland’s Country Kitchen open. From working with her to get the building and teaching her a few recipes, Rowland said working with Rust was a big help. And the new business is still relying on the familiar feel of Sandy’s. “We wanted to bring Sandy’s back – that local, small place where you chat with the folks at the table next to you,â€? Rowland said. “It’s just something simple, and our customers have said it’s nice to have it back.â€? For the ďŹ rst week she was open, Rust helped Rowland with baking, and although Rowland has been on her own since, she has the OK to call Rust whenever she needs help. At ďŹ rst, being on her own was tough, Rowland said, but she’s getting the hang of it. “One day a shelf broke and all the plates fell into some icing I had made, so I had to remake all that,â€? Rowland laughed. “There are quirky
little things like that.â€? In addition to some of the menu items, the interior decor is still looks like Sandy’s, which Rowland hopes will draw the locals back in. In the future, she expects to update the decor and ooring and add some “corny little thingsâ€? to make it more her own. “I have a lot of plans, like featuring a donut of the month, or holiday-oriented items -- the kind of fun stuff that keeps people interested. Things will morph as we move forward,â€? Rowland said. She’s also running some promotions to encourage people to visit the restaurant. For example, on the second Saturday they were open, football players and cheerleaders from area schools were given a discount. Looking back, Rowland credits the loss of a job last year to helping her open her business (she’s since landed another job). A trip to Salamanca with her father-inlaw prompted the idea, which then took on a life of its own. Nine months later, she opened Rowland’s Country Kitchen, which Rowland jokes is her “baby.â€? “We named it that ‌ because your kitchen is where you kind of do everything,â€? Rowland said. “You throw a gallon of milk on the table, have your coffee and talk. That’s what this is.â€? Rowland’s Country Kitchen, located at 4707 Reacher Road in Great Valley, is open Wednesday-Saturday from 711:30 a.m.
it falls victim to some terrible form of mind control. They start tearing each other apart and building altars to forgotten gods. Strange lights in the sky, mob violence, militarized police, creatures from beyond time and space, and sinister government agencies descend on the idyllic autumn countryside, sowing chaos and terror in their wake. Only the paranoid Sheriff Cecil Kotto—who also happens to be the host of a popular conspiracy theory radio show—has any clue about the truth behind it all. He recruits a new deputy and joins forces with an ambitious public access television reporter to track down Bucky and stop the apocalypse from kicking off. Intrigued? How about adding in that the plot is set locally? “The story takes place in October, so the area’s signature hills and vivid colors are always in the background,â€? Raab said. “There are scenes set in and around Ellicottville, West Valley, Salamanca, Allegany State Park, Ashford Junction, Springville, and, yes—in a certain large and very popular ski resort I called Snow Pine.â€? And while the tale is ďŹ ctional, the settings were inspired by the real deal. “There’s a bit of creative interpretation with a few of the locations, but for the most part, I wrote the settings as they stand,â€? Raab stated. “The biggest difference is that my ďŹ ctional Cattaraugus County is just a touch bit ‌ weirder ‌ than the real thing. But not by much!â€? He noted that, “It was important to me that I pay tribute to where I grew up. And by ‘pay tribute’ I mean ďŹ ll it with monsters, chaos, and sinister government conspiracies.â€? Raab, a 2003 graduate of West Valley Central, was born in Springville and raised between Ellicottville and West Valley. “I lived (in the area)
until college, and spent plenty of time working in town or at Holiday Valley,â€? Raab said. He explained that he attended Ellicottville Central during his middle school years, where he made some great friends with whom he still keeps in touch. Raab left WNY after high school, but came back for school breaks. He served in the Army National Guard for a few years, and usually came back to stay with his parents for a few weeks when he was preparing or returning home from deployments. After Raab’s second deployment ended in 2012, he decided to move to Colorado, where he currently resides. His parents still live in the area, and he comes back to visit every year. Raab’s experience led him to write his ďŹ rst book, Flight of the Blue Falcon, about a chewedup National Guard infantry platoon serving in Afghanistan. “It was released by the War Writers Campaign earlier this year,â€? Raab explained. “It’s based on my experiences (and those of my comrades) serving in the Long War. It’s tonally and thematically very, very different from this new novel, but there’s a few connections between the books if you read carefully.â€? As far as the idea for his new book? “I’ve always been fascinated by Fortean (paranormal) phenomena and the like—UFOs, crytpids, conspiracy theories—and wanted to write a book about those topics in a fun, engaging way. I also wanted to write about how you couldn’t really return home, in this case, home being Cattaraugus County. Things change, people change, you change—and sometimes, not for the better.â€? This book, best suited for ages 14 and up, encompasses various genres. “The book represents a lot of different threads, all tied together in a big, bizarre, paranoidweird knot: rural anxiety, the militarization of our police,
veterans returning home from war, redneck culture, economic disparity, and yes— aliens, demons, and secret societies. The heroes of the book are all outsiders, after a fashion. They’re weird, eccentric, alcoholic, broken, not fully accepted by the community—but they still rise to face the supernatural terrors that threaten their home. Sometimes we need heroes, and those heroes don’t always look like what we expect.â€? The novel took about nine months to write and edit, but Raab said he’d been developing these characters and ideas for a few years. “Me and a few buddies used to make bizarre, DIY monster movies around town, and more than a few of those characters and ideas ended up in the book,â€? he said. Raab also currently runs his own small press, and explained that “right now I’m focused on editing the work of other authors, but I’m also working on some short ďŹ ction and a novella which will follow Sheriff Kotto after the events of The Hillbilly Moonshine Massacre. It won’t be a direct sequel, so new readers won’t be lost. The tentative title is The Lesser Swamp Gods of Little Dixie, and it’ll be a bit of a tribute to the southern gothic horror-adventure tales of Robert E. Howard. It takes place in southern Oklahoma, which is the setting of horror author Mer Whinery, and he’s given me his blessing to send Kotto down there to take on the region’s evil occult forces. I expect it to be out this time next year.â€? The Hillbilly Moonshine Massacre, released in September of this year, is published through Literati Press Comics & Novels. It retails for $14 ($4.99 Kindle version) and is available on Amazon, Literatipressok.com and muzzlelandpress.storenvy. com (where signed copies are available exclusively).

Rotary Club of Ellicottville Donates Picnic Tables Over the past few years the Village Park has been undergoing revitalization in order to keep this great community asset both beautiful and useful for all. In September nine (9) modern picnic tables were installed in the main pavilion by the Village DPW. The Village had budgeted for two new tables and had planned on buying a few each year to replace the older tables that were showing their age. That is when Rotary Club of Ellicottville, in discussions with Charlie Coolidge decided to get involved to speed up the process. Working with the Rotary District 7090, the Ellicottville Club applied for and were given a grant to buy 7 more tables. The Rotary District provides a matching grant of up to $2,000.00 to Clubs that meet the criteria annually. The Rotary Club of Ellicottville contributed $2,400.00 for a total of $4,400.00 to provide

October 13, 2015 The October meeting of the East Otto Town Board was called to order on Tuesday, October 13, 2015. Jim Ellis addressed the board on behalf of the East Otto Preservation Group (EOPG). They have some ideas for the Town Board as follows: 1. This year is the 80th anniversary of the William C. Edmunds Fire Co. The EOPG would be interested in honoring them at the annual community day unless the Town Board plans on honoring them in some other way. 2. Digging up and opening the time capsule that was buried 40 years ago at the Town Hall. (Town Clerk will look at information maintained at the Clerk’s office concerning the capsule.) 3. They are interested in placing a WWII Honor Board in front of the Town Hall. 4. Other suggestions a.) electricity to the pavilion b.) Washing the windows of the Town Hall c.) Paint (varnish) the basement floor d.) Open stuck basement windows e.) Paint the Town Hall f.) Cut the limb hanging over the pavilion so it does not fall on anyone or anything g.) They would like the Town Board to try to get WiFi for the Town h.) Get a grant to put historical building records and memorabilia on DVD in case of fire or other disaster. (Advised to contact STW for a
cooperative grant) i.) They feel that all Town Board members should have keys to the Town Hall and Historical building Jim thanked him for attending. Planning Board Chair Carol Dill addressed the Board on the Planning Board’s efforts concerning the Master Plan for the Town. They will proceed with preparing a questionnaire and advertisement for where a questionnaire can be obtained, as well as holding public information meetings. Highway: The insulation has increased in price by about $560. The board would still like to proceed with the project. Tom met with the president of the sportsman’s club about the gravel pit. There is considerable erosion because of the hard rains. There was also some concern because someone was on the property without permission. It was employees of TSL Co. who are doing the re-evaluation. Snake Run is coming along. The contractor will come in to do the finishing touches. The ditch off Bowen Rd. definitely needs to be cleaned out to prevent future road flooding. Several under-the-road pipes have collapsed because of erosion from the flooding. They are being replaced as needed. There was some discussion on allowing the Highway employees to carry over a certain number of sick days each year to a maximum number which the board will determine. It was felt that this
would be a nice benefit and discussion was tabled until the next meeting. Town Clerk Ann Rugg reported that the vital records and minutes have been digitized and have been returned. They are being stored digitally at STW. The Town of Concord has asked the Town of East Otto to sign a letter of support for Mercy Flight EMS to help them obtain a certificate of public need. The Board agreed to offer their support. The Public Hearing on the Preliminary Budget for 2016 will be held on November 10, 2015 at 9 p.m. There was discussion on the budget. The Health Insurance “buyout” amount will be increased to $1,250 per year payable ½ in June and ½ in December. The town’s share of employee health insurance for 2016 will remain at $430/ month. The Preliminary Budget for 2016 was presented with a projected increase of 1.0228% over the 2015 budget. The second October meeting is cancelled. The next meeting will be Tuesday November 10, 2015 at 8 p.m. at the Town Hall. Mr. Guerin again addressed the board about his concerns on Traffic Street. He asked that the board start by plowing the road this winter. Respectfully Submitted Ann Rugg / Town Clerk

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Goddesses Never Age’ by Christiane Northrup Tho Though we talk about wanting to “age gracefully,” the truth is that when it comes to getting get older, we’re programmed to dread an inevitable decline: in our health, our looks, lo our sexual relationships, even the pleasure we take in living life. But as Chris Christiane Northrup, MD, shows us in this New York Times best-selling guide, we have it in us to make growing older an entirely different experience, both for our bodi bodies and for our souls. She explains that the state of our health is dictated far more by oour beliefs than by our biology. IIn this book, Northrup blends personal stories and practical exercises with the late latest research on health and aging. “Taking all the right supplements and pills, or get getting the right procedure done, isn’t the prescription for anti-aging,” Northrup explains. G Goddesses Never Age is filled with tools and inspiration for bringing vitality and vibrancy into your own ageless years. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access more than 9,600 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!
