By Jann Wiswall
The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce has begun actively promoting “Christmas in Ellicottville” as a season-long event to all of its thousands and thousands of followers. But don’t worry. All your favorite celebrations and activities will continue. “This is a way to effectively communicate a whole month of activities – whether sponsored by the Chamber or other organizations – to our guests,” said Brian McFadden, the Chamber’s executive director.
The holidays are busy, fun, exciting and...stressful! When you want to get away from it all, Ellicottville has just the place for you—The Ellicottville Salt Cave, which is celebrating its first anniversary this month. If you haven’t checked it out since it opened in November

McAndrew Defeats Burrell

By Jann Wiswall
Matt McAndrew has won the election for Ellicottville Town Supervisor by four votes. The Cattaraugus County Board of Elections confirmed the news on Tuesday, Nov. 17 after counting the 25 absentee ballots that kept the results of the Nov. 3 general election in limbo. The final count was McAndrew 217, Burrell 213. Both McAndrew and Burrell thanked their supporters for their votes. McAndrew, a Democrat who has worked for the county’s Department of Public Works for 36 years, observed that “the town was really divided, but apparently there were enough people who thought it was time for a change. In the end, there was only one winner.” Burrell, the Republican incumbent who had sought a third term, said he is “grateful to have served as your supervisor for the past eight years. I look forward to serving the community in the future on the See EVL Town Supervisor page 7

Town Board Creates New Highway Dept. Structure Passes 2016 Budget with No Tax Increase By Jann Wiswall
After many months of work and planning, the Town of Ellicottville’s Board has created a new position of ‘Working Supervisor’ in the highway department. The position was
offered to acting highway superintendent Loyd Hovey. The board also has offered the job of highway superintendent to Mark Alianello. Neither Hovey nor Alianello have yet accepted the offers, which would take effect Jan. 1, 2016. The board formalized these actions and made the offers
in executive session during its meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 18 and reported them to the public after resuming the regular meeting. In Nov. 2014, Ellicottville voters approved a proposal to change the elected position of Ellicottville highway superintendent to an appointed See Town Board page 9

Zoning Variances Needed for Micro-Distillery/Brewpub By Jann Wiswall
The Town of Ellicottville’s Planning Board determined at its Nov. 16 meeting that the owner of the proposed Stillhouse Brewpub and Distillery, William Bursee, must apply to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) for several zoning variances, and must provide additional plans to the Planning Board before it can take any action. The entire project is complicated for a number of reasons. First, distilleries are not specifically mentioned as permitted on the site’s zoning code by the zoning law, which was last amended in 2009. However, the board felt that, since a brewpub is included in the plan and is permitted, the distillery portion of the project can be designated as an accessory use. Second, the site of the future brewpub and distillery, which is located on the former site of Aardvark across Rt. 219 from the Tim Horton’s restaurant, currently does not conform to zoning law because its front
setback is too close to the highway. But because Bursee’s plan will not make the nonconformity worse, the board does not think a variance will be needed for the front of the building. Town Planner Carol Horowitz and Town Engineer Mark Alianello both agreed, however, that the buffer yard requirement for landscaping will need a ZBA variance, as will proposed rear yard and side yard setbacks around planned parking areas. While the planning board cannot act on the proposed project until the ZBA has weighed in, Horowitz and Alianello said the planning board application is currently incomplete and that Bursee will need to provide several additional plans for the board’s eventual approval: a full set of elevation drawings (all four sides of the building) plus ground elevation drawings; drainage and grading plans; plans for lighting, landscaping and signage; and “usable open space” plans. In addition,
Bursee must confirm with the building inspector a maximum occupancy number in order for the planning board to determine if the parking plans are adequate. Bursee said that, for a number of reasons, he needs to get zoning and building permits in place in order to obtain the federal and state permits required for distilleries. In fact, he added, he must actually purchase equipment and have it installed before applying for those permits. In related business, the planning board is reviewing proposed language for zoning law amendments to “Service Commercial Land Uses” related to micro-distilleries, farm stands, food stalls and related businesses. It expects to approve the language at its December meeting and forward it to the town board for its approval early next year. The next meeting of the town planning board is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall.

experience my therapeutic atmosphere. Many return bringing family and friends. It’s a great feeling to be thanked for providing them with the gift of health and relaxation.” For those who may not be familiar with the idea of a salt cave, Draper explained that, “Himalayan salt inhalation (halotherapy) has been known for centuries as a healing power for those suffering from respiratory ailments such as allergies, sinus, congestion, asthma, bronchitis, colds as well as dermatological ailments. Himalayan salt contains negative ions which are found at the ocean, waterfalls and electric storms. When we absorb these ions through inhalation, we create a mind and body balance. That’s why we feel good, mentally and physically, when we are at the beach.”
Customers can choose to lay back and relax in the Himalayan salt-tiled room while indulging in a soothing lemongrass foot scrub, warm achy muscles while lounging in the heat of an infrared sauna, relax with a warm salt stone massage, unwind in the therapeutic, cave-like room made of 15-20 tons of Himalayan salt imported from a salt mine in Asia...or all of the above! In addition to these unique spa services, patrons can find a selection of items for sale. “Our retail section offers great affordable gift ideas,
including popular salt lamps that come in different sizes and shapes,” explained Draper. “They are natural ionizers that zap any dust or pollen in the air. Salt lamps are popular in the bedroom where they can help with allergies as well as snoring. The soothing lamp color is also very calming and soothing.” Most likely, someone — or many people — on your holiday shopping list would love to experience the Salt Cave, which Is the first of its kind in New York State. This weekend is a great time to get that gift certificate. On Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., enjoy a free gift with every gift certificate purchased. Customers can also enjoy snacks made with Himalayan salt. For more info, visit www. ellicottvillesaltcave.com.

ECS Prepares to Sign Off on Capital Project By Josh Hatcher
The capital improvement projects are getting “buttoned up,” in the words of Ellicottville Central Schools Superintendent Mark Ward at the November 17 Board of Education meeting. Ward addressed the board with an update on various odds and ends as the multi-million dollar renovation wraps up. He explained to the board that he’s putting together a walk through with the Buildings and Grounds Committee, the board and the contractors who worked on the project to evaluate the work and identify any corrections that need to be made. “We’re about to sign off on this. We want to make sure everything is done right before we close the books,” as Ward explained, or the burden will be on the district and not the contractors to fix any issues. Some of the issues brought up at previous board meetings have already been addressed. Six-foot lockers have been ordered to replace the five-foot lockers that were mistakenly delivered – at the expense of the contractors, not the district. The locker room showers were repaired so that the water does not run out into the floor. 400 chairs in two different styles have arrived, along with new benches. Tile has been installed and grouted on the floor of the entrance area. While the gymnasium serves dual duty as an auditorium and a gym, certain precautions need to be taken to preserve the equipment and the stage area. The cover for the stage has been ordered and is still to be completed but they have not decided what they want to use to cover the bleachers.
Ward explained that the lighting in the gymnasium is still being discussed. The LED lights hang from the ceiling, and they are trying to determine whether they would be better if fixed to the I-beams on the ceiling. Those lights, though, worked “great” at the fall concert, according to Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller. Miller said that the lighting was dimmable and controlled by a state-of-the-art lighting board in the control room. Ward remarked that the LEDs don’t require warm up, which is very nice. Miller offered praise to Jon Wilder, who he described as a “wizard” with the new equipment. Wilder was approved by the board to serve as a substitute teacher and as the play director for the school year. Ward explained that he was previously involved with work in Salamanca schools, where he used similar audio and lighting equipment. The board sanctioned a number of personnel at the meeting, including Lindsay Langworthy as a substitute teacher and Dave McCann and Jaye Zelko as Homework Club Advisors. Boy’s and Girls Basketball scorers and timers were also lined up - Glenn Hall, Karen Morton, Tammy Eddy, Dave McCann, Matt Finn, Karl Schwartz, John Golley and Todd Palmatier. A resolution was also passed to create two new positions, Part-Time Teacher Aide and Full-Time Teacher Aide. Those positions were previously filled and funded in part by the AmeriCorps program. Ward announced at the last meeting that this year’s federal funding was cut for AmeriCorps, so the
board worked to create those positions as staff, effective Dec. 9, 2015. Ward also floated an idea that he wanted the board to consider. A wheelchair accessible van is available on an auction site. One of the school’s staff recommended that the district purchase the van because the school has at least one student who would benefit from the vehicle over the next few years. The board agreed that researching the van or another similar vehicle is a good idea. The homework club is booming, according to Elementary Principal Connie Poulin. She explained that there are a lot of students attending the program to get help with their homework after school. She said that the K-2 program is a challenge because there are three different grades of kids in one classroom. She is hoping to get a few high school student volunteers to help. Bob Miller was encouraged by recent accomplishments of his students, including the girls and boys soccer teams and football teams which made it to the Far West Regionals. He also expressed pride in the volleyball team, which made it into the playoffs. A group of students from West Valley and ECS were able to sing the National Anthem at Rich Stadium, and then a smaller group of students performed it at Regionals. Miller said they did an amazing job, and he was impressed. The next meeting of the Board of Education is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library.

GV Planning Board OKs Dollar General Subdivision By Colleen Mahoney
The Great Valley Planning Board, at its meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 11, approved a request from Richard Damico to subdivide his property at 5785 U.S. Route 219. The property, which currently houses a Dollar General store, is about seven acres and Damico would like to separate it into three parcels. Damico said there would be one parcel in the front and the back parcel would be split in two. At this time, he has no plans to build on the back parcels, but his eventual goal is to build a house on each. The board conducted a State Environmental Quality Review and determined that the subdivision would not have adverse affects on the surrounding environment. The board approved the
subdivision request on the condition that a deeded access driveway to the back two parcels be installed. The board also heard from Jared Zimbardi of Lake Erie Tobacco who presented plans for the installation of sprinklers, a water tank and pump house on the factory’s property. Due to a recent expansion, the company’s insurance requires the addition. The water tank being considered was previously used and stands 30 feet tall, Zimbardi said. He said it would hold approximately 250,000 gallons of water, and fire hydrants would be installed for local fire companies. The pumps from the pump house will be backed up by generators, according to the current plan. The project is expected to be commissioned at the end of 2016.
“We have to proceed with the engineer,” Zimbardi said. “There is still a lot of work we have to do. We’ll come back when we have more information.” The planning board, which took on Zoning Board duties earlier this year, also approved a zoning variance on Highland Avenue. The approval will allow the homeowners at 4025 Highland Ave to expand their house within four feet of the property line. Current code requires a 20-foot setback, but the Highland Avenue property was previously grandfathered in. A letter sent to the board from the neighbor supported the expansion. The next meeting of the Great Valley Planning Board will be held on Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Great Valley Town Hall.
A Healthy Holiday Season For individuals who have pre-diabetes or diabetes, making good choices at holiday parties and during the winter season can be a challenge. How can you make sure your holiday season is a healthy one? The diabetic education team at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital is sharing the following ideas about starting and maintaining positive and healthy selfmanagement during this time of year. · Watch your serving size. It’s ok to enjoy special holiday foods, but do so in moderation. · Don’t drink your calories. The palate is the only area of your body that registers taste, so liquids pass through it
quickly and you get less enjoyment from liquid than you do foods. · Chew your food! The longer you chew, the more your brain receives satisfaction messages, and you will eat less, overall. · Don’t skip meals. People who eat regularly throughout the day actually consume fewer calories, because they do not get overly hungry. · Modify recipes. Choose better fats and artificial sweeteners. · Drink plenty of water. It fills you up and has no calories or carbohydrates. “Pre-diabetes and diabetes are chronic conditions that we are seeing more frequently in our community,” said Kathleen Hebdon, certified diabetic educator and registered nurse at BCH. “Fortunately, in many cases this condition is manageable through behavior changes.” For more information about the diabetes education program at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital, call (716) 592-2871 ext. 1489.

A Very Merry Main Street in Springville Nov. 27-28 Springville merchants on historic Main Street are at it again! Not only will their unique services and goods be highlighted during “A Very Merry Main Street” this Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, but customers will be treated to extended hours, in-store specials, product demonstrations, in-store contests and a chance to win two cash prizes to decrease the burden of paying for those festive gifts! That’s right, businesses along Springville’s Main Street and throughout the area have united yet again this year to entice customers to join them this Black Friday (Friday, Nov. 27 from 10 a.m. -5 p.m.) and Small Business Saturday (Saturday, Nov. 28 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.) for “A Very Merry Main Street.” Participating merchants wanted to say, thank you for shopping local by offering consumers a chance to win one of two cash prizes totalling $500 from the local merchants during this event. In an effort to draw attention away from the hustle and bustle of the typical box-store Black Friday events, Springville businesses have taken the
initiative to come up with their own great deals over the weekend after Thanksgiving and have pooled together to offer the fantastic prize in a festive, yet relaxed, holiday atmosphere. Customers are invited to visit Springville businesses Nov. 27 and 28 during this upbeat shopping event. Come peruse over 25 area entrepreneurs that will be showcasing their goods and services with many offering exceptional promotions and in-store specials at their store fronts along Historic Main Street. Area merchants that are not physically located on Main Street will be set up inside the brick and mortar Main Street merchant locations as well, in order to offer an even larger array of goods not available on Main Street every day. “A Very Merry Main Street” is an event where customers
will be able to get most of their holiday shopping completed, locally, right between the lights on Main Street, while taking advantage of special seasonal offers. Those that partake in the festivities are encouraged to visit all businesses involved by getting their entry card (available at any participating business) marked off by each merchant over the two-day event. Once all businesses have been visited and marked off, customers may exchange their completed card at any participating business before 4 p.m. on Saturday, for an entry for the $300 and $200 cash prizes from the merchants. Enjoy the holiday season. Don’t fight the crowds. Support your local community. Join in Springville’s “A Very Merry Main Street!”
Christmas in EVL Continued from front page
“There’s no reason to wait until the snow flies for people to enjoy themselves here.” The Christmas in Ellicottville season will still be kicked off by the traditional lighting of the trees lining the village streets and the three-story tall Village Christmas tree on Friday, Nov. 27. The Chamber has renamed this tradition “the Gift of Lights.” During this three-day Gift of Lights event, you’ll still be treated to oldschool strolling carolers featuring the Ellicottville Sound Chorus. There are also horse-drawn wagon rides, breakfast and fire truck rides with Santa and loads of other interactive children’s activities. Also that Saturday, the village – and the entire country – celebrates Small Business Saturday. This is a great way to start (and maybe finish) checking off your holiday shopping list while supporting one of the nation’s most important economic drivers – small businesses. As you visit the boutiques and shops throughout the village, you’ll also be able to admire some of the most creative holiday window displays you’ve ever seen. The following weekend, one of Ellicottville’s most popular fundraisers of the year, Irish Christmas, takes place on Friday, Dec. 4. The exciting auction and dinner event, sponsored by the Ellicottville Rotary Club, raises funds to purchase and provide gifts and meals for needy
families. On Saturday, Dec. 5, visitors and locals alike make time for the old-fashioned Christmas Stroll. Dozens of holiday events take place all afternoon, including the always exciting “reindog parade” and the Living Nativity featuring live camels and talented performers who take their places at the Village Gazebo. On Dec. 11, the Chamber will host its annual Christmas party for members at Holiday Valley. And throughout the rest of the month, numerous special surprises await visitors at the shops, restaurants and ski resorts throughout the area, including, one hopes, some fabulous early season skiing and boarding. All this and so much more adds up to a one-of-a-kind holiday season that is aptly placed “under the Christmas in Ellicottville umbrella,” McFadden said.

Thanksgiving Dangers for Pets
Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick with daughter Christina
Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday for families, but it’s not necessarily the best holiday for your pet. As you are preparing the most delicious meal of the year, and the rest of the family is enjoying football and a relaxing day off, your pet may be contemplating just what table scraps he/she may be getting! And indeed, in a study by PET MD, 56 percent of owners are likely to give their pet a little something from their Thanksgiving feast! Knowing this, what is safe and not safe for your pet to ingest at Thanksgiving? NOT SAFE Bones. If not properly chewed, bones can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea and even blockage in your pet! Be sure to keep the bones out of your pet’s reach and dispose of them properly. Raw or undercooked turkey. Raw or uncooked meat
can carry dangerous bacteria that can cause severe gastric upset, leading to vomiting, bloody diarrhea and severe dehydration. If you are tempted to give your pet turkey, be sure it is cooked thoroughly and is without any fat or skin, which also can lead to gastric upset, including pancreatis in a pet. Alcohol. While we enjoy our beer in front of the game or our glass of wine with dinner, our pets should not! Alcohol can lead to fever, rapid heartbeat, liver damage and even seizures! Keep your glasses and bottles out of reach of your pet to avoid any potential exposure! Grapes and raisins. Though tasty in our fruit salads, just one grape can be toxic to a dog. Grapes and raisins both cause life threatening kidney failure, so keep your pet away! Onions and Garlic. These add just that much more avor to our delicious meal, but onions and garlic are toxic to dogs, causing destruction of red blood cells leading to anemia. Nutmeg. Nutmeg can cause tremors, central nervous problems and even seizures in your pet. A must to avoid! Mushrooms. These fungi may be healthy for you, but not for your pet! Ingestion of mushrooms can cause severe vomiting, seizures and even death! Knowing all this, what is safe for your pet?
SAFE Bread/rolls. Without butter and in small volumes, bread is just ďŹ ne for your pet to ingest. Green beans. Often used for pets that are dieting, green beans can be a tasty treat and are ďŹ lling for your pet. Lean, cooked turkey. In moderation, without bones , fat or skin, fully cooked turkey can be a good source of protein. Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and pumpkin all are safe for your pet, once again in moderation and without nutmeg, garlic or onions. Cranberry sauce. In small volumes, this tasty treat can also be a part of your pet’s Thanksgiving feast, but be careful of large volumes due to the high sugar content. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember, your pet can enjoy the holiday too, as long as you keep these tips in mind! Happy Holidays and be safe!

SBU Theater Director to Perform ‘Christmas Carol’ to BeneďŹ t Warming House Dr. Ed. Simone, director of the theater program at St. Bonaventure University, will offer his unique take on a holiday classic next month in a performance to beneďŹ t the Warming House, the nation’s oldest student-run soup kitchen. Simone, who has enjoyed a career in professional and academic theater since 1979, will offer a staged reading of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carolâ€? at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, at Garret Theater on the SBU campus. All the roles will be acted and given unique characters and voices, Simone said. “In doing it solo, I’m following in the very large footsteps of great actors like Patrick Stewart and even Dickens himself, who toured Europe and the United States ‘reading’ the ‘Carol,’â€? Simone said. “Dickens became so
involved in his characters that he was quite exhausted after each reading and audiences loved it. ‌ I actually have based my script on the cutting Dickens used.â€? The intimacy of the Garret Theater is a perfect setting for the performance, he said. “The Garret is such an intimate space that one actor can transform into the many roles in the ‘Carol’ with detail and immediacy,â€? Simone said. “It will be great fun to share it with an audience this way, I think. A real adventure! Maybe something akin to the type of experience audiences had in the 1800s when they went to see Dickens himself, but with sound effects and stage lighting.â€? The fact that the performance is a beneďŹ t for the Warming House is “very much in keeping with the spirit of Dickens,â€? Simone said.
“He was moved to write the ‘Carol’ by the social and economic injustices of his time,â€? he said. “What better way to celebrate the story and the message of the ‘Carol’?â€? Tickets are $15 for the public, $10 for senior citizens, students and St. Bonaventure employees, and can be reserved by calling the Quick Center box ofďŹ ce at 375-2494.

come to fruition as the U.S. Congress is working on a longterm transportation funding bill. NY Representative Tom Reed expects to see that proposal emerge from conference committee in the near future. The House version of the bill creates three years of dedicated funding for roads and bridges that provides a good deal of discretion in order to prioritize local projects. Reed, who understands how vital the Route 219 extension project is for the regional economy, plans to press Governor Andrew Cuomo to prioritize Route 219 to help bring the long-talked about project to completion. Additionally, the Route 219 project could see additional federal funding in the future through a program called the Nationally SigniďŹ cant Freight and Highway Projects Program. Although Reed cannot guarantee funding for Route 219 through that program, the project would qualify for funding under the competitive grant program. “I care about completing Route 219 because it will create quality family-sustaining jobs right here in our backyards and make our regional economy more competitive,â€? said Reed. “This will open up a whole range of opportunities to our communities now and in the future. We will continue to ďŹ ght for Route 219 and other upstate infrastructure projects that will beneďŹ t generations to come.â€? The proposed project includes the construction of a four-lane divided highway extension of Route 219 approximately 20 miles from where it currently ends at the dual span bridge over Cattaraugus Creek in West Valley and continues south to I-86 in Salamanca. The concept is aimed at keeping large trucks and heavier trafďŹ c away from the small towns and villages located
along Route 219, including Ellicottville. The strategy also involves improving commuter access to the City of Buffalo and other Western New York destinations. This section of 219 would also help to complete the stretch of what will eventually become a north/south route known as “Continental 1,� a thoroughfare that would extend all the way from Canada to Florida. While most of the roadways along the Continental 1 route already exist or are currently under construction, there are still hundreds of miles that require funding to complete the project, including the roughly 20-mile stretch through Western New York. “I continue to push as hard as I can for this because I understand the impact a completed Route 219 corridor would have on the economic conditions of Western New York,� said State Senator Catherine Young. “Anything we can do to open up our area to new opportunities is worth pursuing. An infrastructure project that will expand and enhance Route 219 remains a priority because it is good economic sense for everyone involved.� Senator Young is working with Continental 1’s executive committee in her attempt to secure state funding for the project and remains hopeful that federal money from specially designated highway funds will help provide the proper infrastructure for the regional gateway. “If Congressman Reed can secure federal dollars, that would help immensely,� said Young. “Federal money helps make it easier to secure state money, so I remain hopeful that we can work together because all parties involved believe in this project and have worked tirelessly to secure the necessary funding.� “The completion of Route 219 is an ideal project for the
funding that Congressman Reed is proposing,â€? said Meg Lauerman, Continental 1’s executive director. “He and Senator Young have worked tirelessly to educate their fellow legislators on the jobs that completed interstates like Route 219 bring to communities like Ellicottville. Route 219 is the major northsouth trade corridor in our region and through Western Pennsylvania to Maryland. Pennsylvania is out on the highway today, completing 11 miles, and they and Maryland have another seven under study. We are excited to get New York back on the map and bring new jobs to Cattaraugus County.â€? Money originally earmarked for the Route 219 extension and other local highway projects was pulled in 2008 because of a Department of Transportation funding error that was never corrected. In addition, more funding designated speciďŹ cally for transportation projects in Western New York was slashed during the 2010 state budget crisis. The Route 219 Corridor Development Committee, a group made up of community leaders who represent various entities, has long pushed for that funding to be restored. Further discussions about securing funding for the project will continue through the rest of this year and into 2016 as all parties involved remain uniďŹ ed and honed in on their common goal. “An improved and expanded roadway will connect our region, provide new job opportunities and will also allow travelers to access safer roads,â€? said Young. “My dialogue with Congressman Reed will continue. I believe we can complete this project, which has been decades in the making and has involved the hard work and efforts of so many.â€? For more information, visit continental1.org.

Town Board Continued from front page
one, effective Jan. 1, 2016. Following the death of former highway superintendent Dave Golley in Dec. 2014, the board appointed Hovey to the acting position, which he has held since. In preparation for the change, the board has been working to develop an organizational chart for the department with the help of staff from the County Civil Service Commission. The board also worked with the CCSC to define responsibilities of the Working Supervisor position. The job description for the Working Supervisor, a management/confidential exempt position, requires the employee to supervise and participate “in a variety of public works maintenance assignments.” It also requires that the employee has a “good knowledge of the equipment, materials and techniques of street and sidewalk construction and maintenance; good knowledge of winter snow and ice removal procedures; ability to layout and supervise the work of others; skill in the safe operation of motor equipment; ability to follow plans and specifications; ability to follow oral and written directions; mechanical aptitude manual dexterity; physical condition commensurate with the demands of the position.” A job description for the appointed highway superintendent position was not provided to the press by the board at Wednesday’s meeting. However, town supervisor John Burrell told the Ellicottville Times after the meeting that it is intended to be a two-year appointed
position, similar to the town engineer or town attorney positions. The superintendent will be responsible for the highway budget, long-range planning for equipment and repair and maintenance of roads, direct supervision of the Working Supervisor and other management tasks and will report directly to the board. If Alianello accepts the position, Burrell said he would continue to serve as town engineer in addition to highway superintendent. There’s some other hiring on the board’s plate over the next few months, as well. First up is finding a replacement for Town Planner Carol Horowitz, who is retiring at the end of the year. Burrell said he has received two proposals from other planners about how they would handle the contract position. The board formed an interview committee that will be composed of board members Steve Crowley and Greg Fitzpatrick plus Town Engineer Mark Alianello and/ or Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty. Town Planning Board Chair Margaret Signore and Zoning Board of Appeals Chair Jack Kramer also will be asked to serve on the committee. And, Burrell notified the board that Cathy Pritchard’s term on the Board of Assessment Review is expiring soon. That appointment must be made as well. In other business, the board approved the 2016 town budget. A public hearing on the budget was held on Friday, Nov. 13. No members of the public attended or sent comments.
The total budget calls for appropriations of approximately $3.6 million. $699,000 will be raised through property taxes. For 2016, the property tax rate will remain unchanged at $1.21/$1,000 of assessed value. The board did approve a small change to the budget, adding $15,000 to the town clerk’s budget, which will come out of the fund balance and will not impact the bottom line. The board also discussed the draft amendments to the town’s Local Noise Law. Moriarty felt that some clarification was needed regarding days of the week that certain activities are restricted. The board agreed and the changes will be addressed. Town Clerk Robyn George asked the board to approve her request to add delinquent water bills to town tax bills. The request was approved. Alianello said he had followed up on complaints about strobe lights on Jackman Hill Road. It turns out that there are two towers there. One is owned by a cell phone company, but Alianello thought that the offending strobe light is on the other, which is owned by the FAA and is used for air traffic control. Alianello said he will work to find contact information for the FAA. In addition, Alianello and Hovey will investigate a reported drainage problem on Horn Hill Road. The next meeting of the town board will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 6 p.m. in the town/village hall.
Foundation Grant Supports Purchase of New Pug Mill A $500 grant from the Visual Arts Alliance Fund at the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation will help the Cattaraugus County Arts Council’s pottery programs. The board of directors approved the grant to help the arts council purchase a new pug mill to mix and reuse clay for pottery programs. “We are pleased to help the arts council reach their goal of $3,000 to purchase the new pug mill as hundreds of children and adults will benefit when they take one of the several pottery
classes offered by artists at the arts council’s studios,” said Karen Niemic Buchheit, CRCF executive director. “Reusing clay helps stretch the supplies available and will translate into cost savings.” CCAC operates the only public pottery studio in the area, according to the arts council. In order to raise funds to purchase the new pug mill, the arts council set up an online campaign and also collected donations. With the Visual Arts Alliance Fund grant, arts council representatives said they are

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Tricky Twenty-Two’ by Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum might not be the world’s greatest bounty hunter, but she knows when she’s being played. Ken Globovic (aka Gobbles), hailed as the Supreme Exalted Zookeeper of the animal house known as Zeta fraternity, has been arrested for beating up the dean of students at Kiltman College. Gobbles has missed his court date and gone into hiding. People have seen him on campus, but no one will talk. As much as people love Gobbles, they hate Doug Linken. When Linken is gunned down in his backyard it’s good riddance, and the list of possible murder suspects is long. The only people who care about finding Linken’s killer are Trenton cop Joe Morelli, who has been assigned the case, security expert Ranger, who was hired to protect Linken, and Stephanie, who has her eye on a cash prize and hopefully has some tricks up her sleeve. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as an audio book using our interlibrary loan program.
