Region to be Rebranded on International Scale

Chamber Reports Third Quarter Lodging up 9 Percent Building a year-round destination is more than just creating events and activities. In Ellicottville, it means cooperation and teamwork. Through social and traditional media

penetration increases, Ellicottville is on the move once again, setting records along the way. Media efforts make Ellicottville easier to find than ever. New events, facilities and methods have made the area even harder to leave for visitors. As the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce’s ad tag line says, “Easy to Find, Hard to Leave.” Through the use of Facebook, Twitter, television and radio, and visits from journalists, our festivals are seeing near record years, our businesses are growing and our lodging options, from hotels to bed and breakfasts, are seeing fewer and fewer empty rooms throughout the week. A new, more aggressive, marketing and media strategy has aided in bringing the message of what Ellicottville has to offer to even more people. See Region Rebranded page 4

IDA Prepares for Mystery BuyerAbout of 50Olean Company Jobs to be Retained By Jann Wiswall

An unnamed international firm is looking to purchase an unnamed Olean manufacturing company, and the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) board of directors is preparing for the eventuality by authorizing a

public hearing to be scheduled as soon as the firm’s application for tax benefits is received. As explained by CCIDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor at the IDA’s board meeting on Oct. 21, the IDA has been working through an intermediary for the potential

buyer, who does not want any information to go public until the Olean company’s employees are notified. By all accounts, Wiktor said, all 50 or so existing jobs will be retained. Wiktor characterized the project as having the potential See Mystery Buyer page 3

to be a $20 million deal with added employment and expansion into a new product line. The IDA is preparing its paperwork in advance in order to be able to move quickly once the firm’s application for tax-exempt loans and other benefits is received. While the IDA’s board agreed that the process is unusual, it authorized Wiktor to schedule the public hearing without calling a special board meeting for that purpose. However, Wiktor will call a special board meeting to discuss the substantive issues of the sale. If the deal goes through, the firm expects to inform

employees of the purchase and close on the property by the end of the year. In ongoing business, the board approved the Final SEQR and Approving Resolutions for the applications for tax benefits from HoliMont, Inc. and Mallory’s Auto Body, Inc. Public hearings on both projects were held; there were no comments from the public on either. The board also approved a resolution authorizing conveyance of a lease agreement and Payment in Lieu of Tax (PILOT) to Christopher Napoleon, who is purchasing MarkJon Properties, LLC. MarkJon entered into an

agreement with the IDA in 2010. The October meeting served as the board’s official annual meeting, during which the board approved its 2015 meeting schedule and elected officers to the CCIDA, its audit and governance committees and the Capital Resource Corporation (CRC). The full slate of officers can be found on the IDA’s web site. The board also approved a preliminary 2015 budget with changes. The next meeting of the CCIDA will be held on Dec. 9, 2014, at 11:15 a.m. in the IDA offices at 9 E. Washington St. in Ellicottville.

It’s Easy to Start Your Own Ski Club This Season By Alicia Dziak

Living in what we consider ski country, my husband, Hannes, and I wondered how we could get more kids in our community involved in skiing. We were soon introduced to Kristen Sciara, Holiday Valley’s group sales manager and assistant marketing director, who organizes their ski clubs. Impressed by the initial information we received, Hannes, a very ski-minded person, made his mission in life last fall to start a ski club of friends to ski at Holiday Valley. “Starting a ski and snowboard club at Holiday Valley is very easy,” Sciara said. “Just gather a group of coworkers, friends, or family who are interested is skiing or riding on a weekly basis through the winter. We offer value passes that are for weekdays, nights and Sundays at a great price. With some of our passes, you can get in 16 weeks of skiing for around $140. Many of the passes also include lessons, which is great for those folks thinking about learning to ski or ride. The leader of the ski club also receives great benefits that can include free passes, lift tickets and more. Being part of a ski and snowboard club is such a fun way to get out on the slopes and enjoy winter with friends.” As we sifted through the information, we loved the options for different days, offering a great amount of flexibility. We chose Sunday for our group, thinking that would allow more families to participate with their children. We double and triple checked the paperwork before spreading the word, as it didn’t seem possible that for only $155, we could ski every Sunday afternoon that Holiday Valley was open, all season long, and also take lessons. Our first day of the 2013-14 ski season at Holiday Valley was Dec. 1. Our two daughters are relatively new to skiing, and although I’m not that new, I’m also not that good, so at the beginning of each season, it’s our custom to take some practice runs down the bunny hill. I was happily surprised at how easy it was to get into the swing of things on the School Haus lift and trail, and as far as “bunny hills” go, this one

is perfect. After some practice, we were ready to tackle some green circles, and soon we were graduating to blue squares and black diamonds. The most noticeable difference in my kids’ skiing last season was their confidence. Before this season, my then 10-year-old daughter, Ava, cautious by nature, was hesitant to part ways with the security of the small hills. After some lessons early in the season, and numerous runs down her favorite trail, she grew to love to explore the resort and a majority of the trails at a steady pace. “Last year I had so much fun skiing at Holiday Valley,” she said. “The lodges are awesome and so are the trails! My favorite trail is Candy Cane, and I liked all the highspeed chairlifts. I also liked the creative events like Mardi Gras at Holiday Valley. I had a blast skiing there every week!” My then 8-year-old daughter, Lily, the thrill seeker, worked hard on her form last season, and by April, very thoughtfully navigated the more difficult trails with a huge smile on her face the entire time. “Taking lessons was so much fun!” she said. “I skied a lot better at the end of the season than I did at the beginning. The instructors showed me what I was doing wrong and how I could fix it.” At this point, we had gotten in just about four solid months of Sunday skiing. We were there the Sunday before Christmas and had the Main Lodge almost all to ourselves. We’ve skied through wind, ice, and varying levels of

snow and cold. We’ve skied in darkness, in sunlight, on our own, with friends, and with extra kids in tow. Through it all, we thoroughly enjoyed the ski club experience, and the regular time set aside for the family to spend together every Sunday afternoon and evening. For our first season offering the Holiday Valley ski club, we got around 50 friends and friends of friends out on the slopes with us every Sunday. “Members of our club have loved this experience, and we think it will be even bigger next year,” said Hannes. Last season, Holiday Valley had about 200 clubs from schools, communities and corporate clubs, so they’ve got this ski club thing down! As our first ski club season came to an end, spending 17 Sundays at Holiday Valley was such a fun and memorable experience for my family. Holiday Valley — its staff, its amenities, its customerfocused atmosphere — is everything we could wish for in a ski resort. We’re so happy we could be a part of it last season and can’t wait till this season begins! Take advantage of this great opportunity to spend more time in the fresh Ellicottville air with friends and family, while getting lots of bang for your buck. The newly revamped “Ultimate” ski club passes are available on a variety of days and prices vary depending on the day you select. You only need 10 or more people to start a ski club of your own. The first step is to contact Kristen Sciara at (716) 699-3905 or ksciara@holidayvalley.com.

Routes to Art Holiday Sale Jamestown Audubon Celebrating Owl Day Nov. 1 JAMESTOWN, N.Y. – Owls are fascinating creatures, and it is a rare opportunity to be able to get close to one. Live owls will be the highlight of the Jamestown Audubon Center & Sanctuary’s Owl Day on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mark Baker is a licensed raptor (bird of prey) rehabilitator. He will be at Owl Day with several of his owls that are unable to be released back into the wild. Visitors can see Baker and his owls and learn more during his presentations at 10:30 a.m., noon and 1:30 p.m. Visitors can also learn about these silent hunters of the night with hands-on activities that demonstrate their unique hunting techniques. You can find out what they eat by dissecting an owl pellet and make an owl craft to take home. You can take a behindthe-scenes tour of the nature center’s non-releasable Bald Eagle, Liberty, and discover how she is different from owls. While you’re there, sign up to participate in an owl calling contest at 1 p.m. — and maybe you’ll win a prize! Audubon’s Blue Heron Gift

Licensed raptor rehabilitator Mark Baker holds a Great Horned Owl. Shop will feature owl finger and hand puppets as well as related books for both adults and children. Young ones will be fascinated by Jennifer Keats Curtis’s “Baby Owl’s Rescue” and adults will find both “The Crossley ID Guide: Raptors and Barn Owls” by David Chandler of interest.

October 24 - 30, 2014

By William Thomas

The Toronto Maple Leafs - a Study in Profitable Stagnation The Toronto Maple Leafs, the most unsuccessful and lucrative franchise in the history of sports, is searching for a slogan. As one of the founding members of the National Hockey League, the Leafs are unique in that they’re not very good at playing hockey, but they make millions of dollars trying. They haven’t won the Stanley Cup since 1967 and they haven’t even made the playoffs in a league where it’s difficult not to, in nine years. Many fans believe they should change the name to the Toronto Possum, a breed that quite often plays dead and gets killed on the road. Amazingly, tickets to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs are the highest in the league and they’re usually sold out for the entire season. Incompetent yet inconceivably lucrative, the Leafs are listed on the Forbes’ list NHL Most Valuable Teams at Number One with a current value of $1.15 Billion. By comparison, the Philadelphia Flyers who won back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975 and only missed going to the playoffs twice in the last nine years, are worth $500 million, less than half the value of the Leafs. The Leafs are so bad many believe they located the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto just so their fans could get to see the Stanley Cup once in awhile. Witnessing the mad rush of fans clamoring to purchase expensive seats to watch perennial losers underachieve brings two things to mind. First, Leaf Nation, the rabid army of Toronto fans who bleed blue and die a little with each defeat are - as the title of a book I wrote - Not Real bright And Damn Proud Of It! Second, it’s not a very long drive from Leaf Nation to Ford Nation, the rabid army of Toronto voters who idolize brothers Rob and Doug. There exists a real closeness

between Leaf players and their fans, an attachment that comes every spring when they get to watch the playoffs together. In fairness, the team teases Leaf Nation unmercifully, like a guy offering complimentary Tequila shooters at an AA meeting. They almost always start out like gangbusters sending out the signal loud and clear that this is the year! However, as the bad joke goes - What do the Leafs and the Titanic have in common? They both look good until they hit the ice. - it’s always the same sad story. It’s never dull because the Leafs somehow manage the kind of last minute death spiral that has first responders ignoring search and rescue and going straight to recovery. Last season’s two wins and twelve losses crash was so sudden and volatile, some experts suspected a bomb on board. However, this season is going to be different according to Leaf management who have been making that same claim for the last 47 years, the agonizing duration of their Stanley Cup drought. So they staged a team bonding experience in Collingwood, Ontario where Leaf players spent quality time together in survival exercises and paintball wars. From that experience and from the words of the players themselves, Leaf management are hoping an inspirational slogan would emerge that, when repeated enough times, would forge some winning ways. Years ago, the highly successful Montreal Canadiens lifted the words from John McCrae’s classic poem “In Flanders Field” to inspire their players. “To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high.” Never mind that any current Leaf player would likely drop the torch and burn the rink to the ground - they are still in search of a moving motto. Here’s what Leaf

players and management have come up with so far from that buddy-buddy basic training retreat in Collingwood: “Entitled To Nothing, Grateful For Everything.” This banner currently hangs over the entrance to the Leaf dressing room. It’s humbling, ingratiating but hardly inspirational. Sounds like a “Will work for food” sign. Another motto they came up with is “Sacrifice For Each Other, Succeed Together.” This is good advice but really when you look at their record they could have gone with “Unfortunately, I’ve Got Your Back.” “Unite A City.” Really? So Doug and Rob can severely divide it?!? Honestly, I don’t know of an inspirational maxim that could help this team become successful. Maybe “Misery Loves Company.” At least it’s inclusive. Or, “Once We Were Warriors But Now ... Not So Much.” Or, “Hey! We Do An Awful Lot Of Good In This Community.” Or, “ You Can’t Win “Em All. There’s Always Next Year. And Okay, Our Problem Might Be The Puck!” What Leaf ownership should do to take the pressure off the players is let Comedy Central televise the games for a few years until they get their act together. Hey, it’s all about entertainment anyway. For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca

Region Rebranded Continued from Front Page

The media blitz is not just for Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce events and activities. If you have an event and would like a bit of a media push, contact the chamber. Record lodging revenue numbers in Ellicottville, and Cattaraugus County, have proven that the partnership between stakeholders and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce is working. Revenue reports for the three months ending Sept. 30 show Ellicottville lodging options to be up 9 percent, with a year-to-date increase of 8 percent, both high points since recordkeeping began in 2004. County wide, lodging has averaged an increase of 6 percent. “Success is a team effort between our stakeholders and the Chamber of Commerce,” Chamber Executive Director Brian McFadden said. “Between events and offerings in the community and a deeper media penetration, Ellicottville, and the region, are growing and moving forward at a much faster pace than the industry in general. “Occupancy numbers are partially being driven by the weddings at Holiday Valley and HoliMont and conferences that are taking place at

the new lodge at Holiday Valley,” McFadden continued. “Because of these two factors, the coming weekend has lodging in Ellicottville close to maximum.” While there are no community-wide events taking place this weekend, lodging in Ellicottville is near impossible to find. The next few weeks look to be the same way, with Doug and Gwen Bush’s EVL Halloween Half Marathon taking place Nov. 1, bringing upwards of 1,500 runners and supporters to the area. On the heels of the costumed run, with all of its festivities, Holiday Valley plays host to the annual Beer and Wine Festival Nov. 8. Just a couple weeks later, Nov. 28-30, Christmas in Ellicottville takes over the festive season. With so much to do, November looks to be a strong month in Ellicottville. Part of moving forward is an initiative that will have a team of researchers in Ellicottville and Cattaraugus County over the weekend. The team, members of Development Counsellors International (DCI), will be around the eightcounty region with the mission of rebranding the region on an international scale, creating a regional destination, from Niagara Falls to Chautauqua

and Cattaraugus Counties. The project to rebrand is through a $300,000 grant from New York State, awarded to the Regional Economic Development Council’s Tourism Sub-Committee of which Brian McFadden is a member. The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce is the only chamber in the region to be named to the committee. Phase 1 of their mission is to get to know the region in terms of offerings and assets. Over the next couple weeks, the team in the area will conduct focus group meetings with key stakeholders to aid in rebranding the region. With all of the development and success, the Ellicottville and Salamanca Chambers of Commerce continue with their mission of offering benefits to their members. On Oct. 27, at the Hotel Wingate, in Ellicottville, members of the two chambers are able to come to the open enrollment for Bene-Care health insurance. Two sessions will be available, 2:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m., for those with questions and looking to enroll. If you’d like to attend one of the two sessions, call (716) 688-8161 or email BCBuffalo@BeneCare.com to reserve your

provide support and guidance. The study is intended to determine if there is a need and a market for more food processing in the Southern Tier, if there is appropriate grazing land available, if a workforce exists to support it and other critical issues. LaMendola, who prepared the USDA grant application, was congratulated by the board for her efforts. Zink also reported that STW, through a $100,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission, has created a Manufacturers Productivity Improvement Program in association with the Industrial Development Agencies of Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties. The program is intended to help

smallto medium-sized manufacturers with fewer than 250 employees develop their workforces and technical skills in order to improve productivity. The MPIP will provide matching funding for consultants to assist companies in their efforts. Currently, STW staff is putting together a list of eligible private consulting firms that can be recommended to manufacturing companies. All consultants must be approved by the STW board. In other business, STW’s auditor, Bysiek CPA, PLLC, reported that the organization has been issued a clean opinion. While assets and liabilities are down slightly (by 1 percent) from last year, STW still has more assets than

liabilities and its “financial position is relatively strong as of June 30.” The board formally elected Bob Keis (Cattaraugus County) to serve another term as chair, Kier Dirlam (Allegany County) to the position of vice chair and Jay Gould (Chautauqua County) to the position of secretary. Zink also reminded the board that STW is holding a training program on New York State Retirement Reporting on Oct. 29-30 and a Fall Planning and Zoning Conference on Nov. 5-6. The next meeting of the STW board will be held on Dec. 18 at 1 p.m. in its offices at 4039 Route 219, Suite 200, in Salamanca.

per $1,000 of assessed property value, a number that has not changed since 2013. Town Supervisor Bob Keis said the town is on track to meet its 2014 budget goals, however, he warned that there could be a short-term cash flow issue over the next month or so. “Bills are due before sales tax and other revenues are received in November,” he explained. If needed, the town board may have to take out a bond anticipation note (BAN) in order to pay some bills. “I hate to do that, because it makes it look like we’re low on cash,” said Keis of the BAN. “We’re not low on cash. We’re low on cash flow.” FEMA Recovery Update Representatives of Simmons Recovery Consultants (SRC), the firm hired by the town to handle FEMA damage claims, reported that all but one of the 16 road projects identified as damaged due to heavy flooding last May had been submitted to FEMA. The final project was due to be submitted on Tuesday, Oct. 21. SRC was hired to help the town more accurately assess damages to town roads, bridges, drainage ditches and culverts that can be attributed to heavy storms last May. SRC originally identified an estimated $343,500 of reimbursable damages. Actual claims will be closer to $360,000-$375,000 after recommended mitigation efforts are figured in. Now that all claims are in, SRC’s work enters phase 2. This involves its expert and precise review of FEMA’s

responses to each of the 16 claims. To date, the town has not received any response from FEMA. Keis asked the board to enter into a phase 2 contract with SRC so that it can immediately review those documents and respond to FEMA with any questions or corrections. He suggested the extension should be for no more than $5,000 over a one-year period since the process could last into spring 2015. After some discussion, the board ultimately decided to authorize the $5,000 maximum expense and to extend its contract with SRC for three years, with the option of extending it for another 1-2 years. This allows the town to call on SRC if another FEMA event occurs, without having to go through a request for proposals process. The contract may be cancelled at any time, and Mansfield has complete control over how much or little the company is used. Kent Road Bridge Keis updated the board on the status of Mansfield Bridge No. 32 on Kent Road. As previously reported, the town and Cattaraugus County disagreed on who owns the bridge and who is responsible for repairs or replacement. After months of research, the town and county uncovered documentation that the bridge was repaired in 1968-1969 by the county. In exchange, the town board of directors at the time agreed to take over maintenance of the bridge. As a result, it is Mansfield’s responsibility. In April, engineering firm E&M Engineers and Surveyors

was hired by the town to inspect the condition of the bridge. The firm’s report indicates that structural and hydraulic repairs or replacement of the bridge should be considered in the long term. In the short term, they recommended that filling the scour hole with new stone fill and replacing a waler brace would make the bridge adequate for a maximum 20ton vehicle weight. The scour hole work can be taken care of by the Mansfield Highway Department, but the department does not have the equipment or expertise to do the bracing. Keis said he would talk with the county’s Department of Public Works about contracting with it to do that work in 2015. If the county is unavailable, the town will go out to bid for those services. Long-term repairs to the bridge will be considered over the next few years. Kidney Road Speed Limit At the board’s September meeting, several residents asked the town about reducing the 55 mph speed limit on Kidney Road to 40-45 mph. They felt the change was needed for safety reasons. The town has submitted the necessary paperwork to the state asking it to conduct a traffic study. The state has final say on the matter. Meanwhile, Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley has installed traffic signs warning drivers to be aware of Amish buggies. The next meeting of the Mansfield board will be held on Monday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall. All are welcome.

Holiday Valley Job Fair Free Money for Artists Artists living in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Allegany counties are invited to apply for free funding provided by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization (DEC) Program and administered locally by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council in Allegany, N.Y. The Community Arts grants, Artist in Community grants and Arts Education grants funding applications are available now – all with a due date of Nov. 7, 2014, by noon. Community Arts (CA) grants category supports the activities of arts groups and community organizations in service to community residents. CA funds programs that increase the value and recognition for the arts and artists as an integral part of the community. Projects should work to enhance cultural dialogue and respect for the cultural legacies of our communities, as well as increase visibility for the arts in our communities. The CA category of the DEC program

is designed to bring arts to the community and make art as accessible as possible to the public. The Artist in Community grants support two awards of $2,500 to two individual artists for the creation of new work within a community context. The goal of this grant opportunity is to support the creative work of individual artists in all disciplines at the local level while encouraging interaction between artists and community members to highlight the role of the artist as a community resource. The Arts Education grants support the role that local cultural organizations and/ or individual artists play in engaging K-12 public school students in rich artistic learning experiences. AE funds are designed to support arts education projects in K-12 school settings. Projects must focus on the exploration of art and the artistic process. Inter-curricular collaboration is encouraged but not

required. The Arts Education funds are directed to cultural organizations and/or artists working in partnership with public schools in the service area of the DEC site. All three grants will employ an online application form that can be found at www. myartscouncil.net. For the applicants’ ease, CCAC’s Programs and Grants Manager Courtney Mealy has provided the entire application as a downloadable working form so that applicants can have all the information ready before he or she applies online. This document is called “application questions.” Please feel free to forward this e-mail and information to anyone who may be interested. Remember — the deadline for applications is Nov. 7 at noon. Interested applicants must set up an appointment with Courtney to go over the application process. Please contact her at courtney@ myartscouncil.net or (716) 372-7455.

Illustration Exhibition at Ellicottville Library An exceptional collection of paintings is now on exhibit at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Leigh Ann Cledgett is an illustrator from Hinsdale, N.Y., recently graduated from college and already making her mark as a book illustrator. The exhibition at the library is explained by Ms Cledgett, “This body of work is the product of summer spent learning from my Grandma. While we shared a meal, she shared her story. I believe Grandma’s story to be an inspiring one of taking risks

and overcoming obstacles. There is a common theme that echoes through Grandma’s life: never, ever give up. These 10 paintings illustrate some of the pivotal moments in Grandma’s life, when decisions were tough and obstacles were high. But at 82 years of age, Grandma’s life says it was worth it. I trust these stories will convince the viewer that the risks in their own lives are worth it as well.” The Ellicottville Memorial Library is located at 6499 Maples Rd. in Ellicottville, N.Y. Hours are 10 a.m.–5 p.m.

daily except Sunday. Evening hours are 5–8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ellicottville Sports Round Up Pee Wees in Super Bowl, Sports Playoffs Begin, EVL Half to Benefit Sports Boosters By Todd P almatier

The Ellicottville Little Eagles Pee Wee football team march into the Super Bowl this Saturday at 3:30 p.m., when they will take on the Randolph Raiders. The Pee Wees beat the Salamanca Sabers on Sunday 12-6 behind the stout running of Ryan DeKay and Logan Grinols. The team was without three of their best linemen but continued to pound the running game, and both Grinols and DeKay were able to break some large runs. First year back Owen Chudy also had a great run to help keep the Eagles offense on the field. Brett Kryniski and Aidan Joyce, who both had impressive stops on the defensive line, led the defense! The Super Bowl will be a rematch of last year’s game, and the Eagles will be seeking their revenge! The Eagles encourage all to come to Cattaraugus/Little Valley on Saturday, Oct. 25 to support the Little Eagles. The Little Eagle cheerleaders competed in the CCMFL Cheer competition on Saturday in Salamanca, and the Midget Cheerleaders came away with a first overall in the competition, while the Pee Wees finished third. The varsity football team took on Nichols Collegiate Institute on Saturday afternoon

and left victorious with a 4520 win. The Ellicottville Franklinville squad racked up 331 offensive yards. Junior quarterback Tommy Easton was 4-7 for 141 yards passing with two touchdowns. Senior running back Phalla Musall gained 117 yards on 17 carries and had three touchdowns. He also led the defense with nine tackles. Sophomore Preston Hutchinson had a great day on both sides of the ball, leading all receivers with 57 yards and tallying six solo tackles, eight assists and a sack. The varsity team completes its regular season this Friday night at 7 p.m. in Franklinville against Portville. The varsity team has locked up second place in the class D playoffs and will be hosting a playoff game on Oct. 31. In soccer, the playoffs are upon us and begin this week

for both Coach Mary Neilon’s girls’ squads and Coach Matt Finn’s boys’ squad. The girls will be taking on Pine Valley this Saturday on Oct. 25 in Pioneer with time to be determined. The boys host their first playoff game at ECS on Oct. 23 as they take on Pine Valley at 3:30 p.m. The ECS Sports Boosters are looking for volunteers to help with the EVL Half Marathon. If you can give 2–3 hours of your time, please contact Debbie Golley or Kevin Watt. The race is on Nov. 1, and help is needed from 10 a.m. on. The race coordinators have graciously offered to make it a fundraiser event for the Sports Boosters. It is an easy way for student athletes, coaches and parents to help our organization and it is a wonderful chance to raise funds for the Sports Boosters.

Beer and Wine Fest Continued from Front Page

“Almost everything on the menu has beer as an ingredient, even the dessert!” said Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s marketing director. “There are some unusual dishes featuring wild game and venison and lots of hearty cold weather comfort foods. The food is served at stations, so you pick where you want to go. Each station has a special beer and the brewer of that beer will be there to discuss the pairing.” Menu highlights include wild game sausages finished with blueberries, potato pancakes, autumn chowder and beer floats. And this year’s theme makes it even more fun. “The theme this year is ‘Cirque de Biere’ and we’ll have several unusual circus surprises,” explained Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s marketing director. “The ‘god of beer’ will perform a traditional tapping of the keg just as the diners enter the dining room. The ‘ringleader’ will introduce each station and entertain the diners through the evening. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, so I’ll leave it at that!” An “unusual photo booth” will also be on hand for all those photo ops. The night begins with hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m. and food stations will open at 7 p.m. Tickets for the Brew Master’s Dinner are $65, with a limited supply still available. To purchase, visit www.

Ellicottville Farm Celebrating 10th Anniversary at Nationally Certified Alpaca Show Timm and Helen Herman of Sugartown Farms in Ellicottville, N.Y., are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their alpaca farm business by attending the 2014 nationally certified Empire Alpaca Extravaganza. The show is drawing competitors from across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions to the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse on Oct. 25-26. Admission show and parking are free. The Hermans own the nationally recognized black huacaya champion STF Jetson and the two-time Futurity Herd Sire of the Year Snowmass XXXtreme. The 2014 Empire Alpaca Extravaganza show organizers are making a concerted effort to attract visitors interested in learning about how raising the finely fibered animals provides income and lifestyle opportunities. To facilitate potential buyers and those interested in starting an alpaca enterprise, the Empire Alpaca Association will offer educational seminars on marketing, merchandising, fiber processing, and income opportunities with respected owners, breeders, and fiber artisans. Alpaca breeders and owners will show their animals and fleeces and will have booths with value-added products and information about their farms and animals for sale or breeding rights. A parade of animals available for sale by private treaty will begin at 12:45 p.m. on Saturday. Interested buyers can place silent bids until noon on Sunday. The two-day, 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Empire Alpaca Extravaganza on Oct. 25 and Oct. 26, also includes a fashion show, fiber arts demonstrations, a

Youth activities at the show will include hands-on fiber crafts and demonstrations. The Sunday afternoon show schedule includes performance, obstacle and youth costume classes. Alpacas, native to the South American Andes Mountain region, are raised for their luxurious and durable fiber that is highly prized by the garment industry, crafters and artisans, and people who prefer natural fibers but are allergic to wool. The teddy bear-like Huacaya alpacas account for 99 percent of the alpaca population; Suri alpacas have silken fiber

dreadlocks that grow up to 15 inches long. American alpaca enterprises developed with the first animal imports into the U.S. in 1982. A business model that does not allow artificial insemination helps maintain animal breeding and sales values, which can be worth several thousand dollars. Sixteen NY farms formed the Empire Alpaca Association/EAA in 2002 following the first Empire Alpaca Extravaganza show event. The association now has members ranging from small farms to some of the largest in the U.S. The EAA is the first affiliate of the Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association to create a Code of Ethics.

Master Your Garden

Paths take you from point A to point B. Paths are for wandering. They are functional. They can also be a part of a garden making it more beautiful. When making paths in your gardens, remember, they should fit your style. A formal garden is made up of straight paths and right angles. Concrete, bricks and slate pavers look great in this type of setting. A Japanese garden calls for meandering paths covered in bark or gravel. Even paths between the veggie rows can look good covered with hay or leaf mulch. Some paths are relatively permanent, others need yearly renewal. A grass path will need steady maintenance, others a sweeping now and then. Permanent paths made of concrete, brick or slate require a good foundation made of 4” of gravel and 2” of sand, then

Creating Garden Paths an edging to keep it in place. When constructing gravel or bark paths, outline your path on the existing sod, remove the topsoil and install an edger to help the gravel or bark from migrating into your yard. Removing the sod will keep the weeds down, but for a more permanent solution to weeds, you can install an underlayment fabric that allows water to infiltrate, but stops weeds. Then add the top layer of your choice (bark, or gravel). If you install a bark or mulch, realize that these will decompose and need to be replaced periodically. When making any type of path, how wide should you make it? For working paths (equipment friendly) make

them at least 3’ wide. Single-file paths can manage with a foot, but two is better. If you like the look of stepping stones, make sure they are well seated and match your stride, so you can stroll freely. Paths will keep your feet off the crumbly, air-filled earth. That is good for the soil and good for the plants. Fall is a great time to make a path, so happy trails!
