Irish Christmas 2015 Moving to EBC

By Eva Potter

November 7 Beer and Wine Festival Holiday Valley

Christmas event is moving the increasingly popular event to a larger space in the village. Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC) will host this year’s fundraiser, which

is a merry evening of music, food, drink, camaraderie and, of course, the infamous pie auction. The change in venue has caused a bit of a stir this year, but there are good reasons for the move. “Over the years, it’s become an iconic event and we just ran out of highway – we ran out of room. I got a lot of static about that — I’m breaking a tradition —but if we have more people who can’t get in than can get in, then I really need a different location. So that was See Irish Christmas page 8

Saluting our Veterans By Daniel Meyer

Observed annually on Nov. 11, Veterans Day is the single day of remembrance that recognizes the signing of the armistice, which ended World War I. Military veterans are honored and publicly thanked for their service to their country on Veterans Day in a wide variety of ways, including parades, church services and other community-wide recognition ceremonies. Though World War I ended in 1918, Congress officially recognized the end of the battle in 1926 by declaring that the anniversary of the armistice should be commemorated with prayer and thanksgiving. Nov. 11 was approved as a legal holiday in 1938 and was originally known as Armistice Day to honor all World War I veterans. Following the mobilization of service members to fight in World War II, it was decided in 1954 to officially change the name of the holiday to Veterans Day. See Veterans Day page 2

Stay Local, Shop Small By Mary Heyl

There are just seven more Saturdays until Christmas! For many people, these valuable shopping days are spent at strip malls in bigger cities outside of their communities. But for a growing number of consumers, these weekends are spent much closer to home, as shopping locally

is becoming a more popular choice every year. The celebration of this trend is Small Business Saturday, the holiday shopping day sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. On Saturday, Nov. 28, small businesses across the U.S. are opening their doors and encouraging community members to shop local! See Small Business Sat. page 9

Election 2015 Results

County Clerk, EVL Supervisor Races Too Close To Call By Jann Wiswall

Election Day in Cattaraugus County was busy at polling sites all around the region despite the fact that it was an off-year election. While many races were not competitive (e.g. lone candidates for the post or two candidates running for two

seats), some were competitive indeed. The race for county clerk is too close to call, according to the Republican Commissioner of Elections Sue Fries. Incumbent Democratic Clerk Alan Bernstein received 47.01 percent of the vote while Republican challenger Michael

M. Brisky had 46.03 percent. Working Families/Women’s Equality candidate Brittany N. Melfi had 6.92 percent. Fries reported that, as of Nov. 4, the Board of Elections has more than 700 absentee ballots to count before it can certify the election for County Clerk. See Election Results page 8

In addition to local VFW posts and American Legion halls recognizing our veterans next week, a local non-forproďŹ t organization that assists veterans from across Western New York is planning a special tribute next weekend. Focusing their mission of improving the lives of those who proudly served their nation, WNY Heroes is making a difference in the lives of local military veterans, including service members from throughout Cattaraugus County. The organization’s dedicated volunteers will host the sixth annual Red, White & Blue Gala on Friday, Nov. 13 at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens in Depew. The annual fundraiser recognizes veterans who have served and the families of those left behind. Founded in 2007, WNY Heroes provides veterans and the widows and children of deceased veterans with access to everyday essential living needs, ďŹ nancial assistance and other resources to help support them and maintain their dignity. The organization is overseen by an advisory board that includes business leaders, community stakeholders and representatives of various philanthropic and civic foundations. Excitement is building for next week’s recognition dinner, which will run from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. inside the grand ballroom of Salvatore’s. This year’s event will include a presentation by SSG Timothy Payne, a combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan who now works as a motivational speaker and

is the author of the book “The Squad Leaders Bargain.â€? “This is our one major fundraiser where we recognize those who served and the families left behind because of service of their loved one,â€? said Chris Kreiger, president and chief executive ofďŹ cer of WNY Heroes. “Our ofďŹ ce is able to assist our families in need in a variety of different ways, including helping them stay in their current homes, keep their utilities turned on and make sure there is enough food on their tables. If a veteran is homeless, we make arrangements to ďŹ nd them housing to get them off the street.â€? With next week’s annual focus on military veterans taking place across the nation, Kreiger and his volunteers remain focused on doing what they can to assist those in need. “Veterans should not be returning home and end up becoming homeless or jobless,â€? said Kreiger, a U.S. Army veteran who served overseas. “Veterans should

be given ďŹ rst choice for job hiring, something I know our community is working on to make that happen. It is very hard for veterans to ask for help. Our military teaches you that asking for help and not doing it alone makes you weak, therefore they do not ask and often times end up in positions that leave them in a really tough spot.â€? Kreiger encourages veterans and others to consider attending next weekend’s Red, White & Blue Gala or to make a general donation to WNY Heroes. “Holding this fundraiser every year allows us to help veterans sustain their dignity once we get them to see that asking for help makes you stronger, not weaker. We have gained much support in our community, not only for what we do, but because it was my promise to our donors that all funds raised will remain local. What we do stays right here in Western New York. With the support of the community through future donations we will continue to grow and expand our current programs in an effort to help the proud men and women who served our country and preserve our wonderful way of life. Any concern for our veterans and displaying kindness toward them mean the world to us.â€?

MS/HS Fall Concert with Special BPO Performance Nov. 12 Ellicottville Central School will kick-off its 2015-16 concerts with a Middle School/ High School performance on Thursday, November 12 in the new multi-purpose gymnasium. The concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. The school is also excited to announce that immediately following the student concert, the Buffalo Philharmonic String Quartet, headed by Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) violinist Diana Sachs, also will be performing for all to enjoy.

The Quartet is an outgrowth of the BPO’s Teaching Artists Program. Both concerts are open and free to the public. The Quartet’s program will be based on Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. It outlines a few highlights in the book which are musically illustrated by many short pieces that they play in a “back and forth telling of the story.” This concert in made possible in part through funds from the Tony Cassetta

Program, which supports the introduction of fine arts to students at Ellicottville Central School. MS/HS Principal Bob Miller notes that “we are very excited about the opportunities our new multi-purpose facilities provide, not just for students, but for the entire community as well. These concerts are a great opportunity for people to come and enjoy great music in a great atmosphere. We hope to see you there!”

ECS Sports • Photos Ellicottville Sports Boosters

The Christ Kindl Market on Saturday, Nov. 7 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Ellicottville from 9am to 4pm is the perfect place for a locally raised author to showcase and have her first book signing. I Am, I Can I Will! A Jungle Dream, written by Nina Pauline Ploetz and illustrated by S.D. Lawrence of Saddleback Studio will be available for purchase at the sale. Nina Ploetz and SD Lawrence are “coming home” to share their joy and accomplishment with family and friends. Lawrence has spent many hours roaming the hills of Little Valley and Ellicottville while visiting with his family in the area. With her father’s (John Ploetz) love of nature (Nannen Arboretum) and her mother’s (Shirley Neudeck Ploetz) love and compassion for service to others (office nurse, Cattaraugus school nurse,

and many years’ of serving on the Little Valley Central School board), Nina Pauline Ploetz shares some if the same attributes. Being part of a large family and living on a farm with a menagerie of animals, Ploetz developed a good sense for work, play, and a vivid imagination. Couple all of this with a strong faith and you have the essence of Nina. Writing has always been a quiet passion of Nina’s. She’s written many poems and stories for family and friends; occasionally sharing her words and whit at family gatherings and functions. It is just more recently she has ventured out into a more public sharing of her thoughts, poems and stories. I Am, I Can I Will! A Jungle Dream is Nina Pauline Ploetz’s first major publishing. The poem/story touched those who read it, yet didn’t

come to life until S.D. Lawrence added his amazing ideas and talents. His inspired and imaginative illustrations bring to life the story and the feelings that are felt when reading it. Lawrence’s art invites all the senses to get involved and brings the reader into the story. Lawrence and Ploetz both share in their compassion for others and sense of service. They would like everyone to know that part of the proceeds of each book sold goes to the charity Smile Train to help bring hope, courage and smiles to others. May this inspired book touch every reader and encourage them to find their inner strength, hope and a sense of personal value that lives inside!

Cancer-Free, Gursky Joins Core Performance

www.EllicottvilleTimes.com

November 6-12, 2015

Announcing Emerling Ford’s

Happy Holidays & Welcome to Emerling Fords Exclusive Friends & Neighbors Pricing Event. By Kim Duke, Owner, Core Performance Fitness & Training

Core Performance Fitness and Training is so proud to welcome and announce that Shawna Gursky will be joining our team of fitness instructors. Shawna is not only a certified pilates and kick boxing i n s t r u c t o r, she is also a cancer survivor. As a matter of fact, Shawna just received a clean bill of health with no limitations from Roswell Cancer Institute last Tuesday, Oct. 27. When asked about her cancer scare and subsequent battle against this disease, Gursky is very open and forthright. She will tell you how she discovered a lump with a self-breast exam and how she then had to convince the doctors and radiologists to keep looking when they told her there was nothing in her mammogram that showed cancer. She will tell you how her persistence led to a biopsy that ultimately led to the diagnosis she dreaded. That was July 26, 2013.

Since that diagnosis, Gursky had a double mastectomy and endured eight rounds of chemotherapy. She lost her hair, but never her faith. Today, she is healthy and ready to get back into the fitness industry. Starting Nov. 10, Gursky will be teaching pilates every Tuesday and Thursday f r o m 6-6:45p.m. For those of you unfamiliar with pilates, here is a brief description according to Wikipedia: “Pilates, developed by Joseph Pilates, is the art of controlled movements. Its emphasis is on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises.” For more information about this and other classes at Core Performance Fitness and Training, check out our Facebook page, Core Performance Health and Fitness, or contact us at (716) 698-1198.

The holidays are all about sharing and giving, so this season we wanted to do something special for all of our customers. We are in the middle of a major renovation project, have too much inventory and we need room for more. With over 150 new Ford cars, trucks, vans, and SUVS available, this could be the biggest savings event in over a decade! With that in mind, we’re excited to introduce the launch of Emerling Ford’s Friends and Neighbors Pricing Event! Buyers will receive exclusive friends and neighbors pricing just by showing up. No need to negotiate. It’s simple. No hassle; no negotiation required whether you buy or lease. Starting November 3rd, supplemental window labels will be placed next to the original labels to show your savings. No games, no gimmicks. As an added bonus, you will also be eligible to receive all eligible Ford rebates and low financing options as low as 0% A.P.R. on approved credit. This offer wil be available November 3, 2015 - January 4, 2016.

EVL/Machias Venture to Offer Full Line of River Sports Equipment

in 1971, has deep roots in the river culture. Adventure Bound operated canoe/kayak trips on the Allegheny and Cattaraugus rivers as well as canoe and kayak trips and camps in the northeast. Currently, Rounds manufactures his own line of SUPs under the brand “SUPonTheFly” and will be introducing those boards to the market this spring. With designs borne from fly fishing excursions on the Colorado river, Lake Michigan and the Yucatan of Mexico, these inflatable boards are specifically crafted with the fly fisherman in mind. Stability of the board, gear lash-down areas and industry-first cooler lash-down points are some of the key design features. Boehmer said, “I could not be more excited about the opportunity to develop a world class paddlesports experience in Ellicottville. Adventure Bound has an incredible

history in the area and great outdoor brands to complement the paddles sports program. I am looking forward to offering great gear and river experiences to Ellicottville locals, guests and second homeowners.” In addition to carrying SUPonTheFly brand, Adventure Bound currently carries NuCanoe, Pau Hana, Hala, Boardworks, and NRS. Boehmer is excited to continue to offer many of the brands he has partnered with over the last three years at Adventure Bound like Dagger, Perception, Wilderness Systems, Harmony, Mad River Canoes and Werner paddles, making Adventure Bound the largest paddle sports dealer in the Western NY region. As of spring 2016, Adventure Bound will be opening a new paddle sports demo center on the pond across from the new fitness center in Ellicottville. The center will offer kayaks, canoes and SUPs to demo, as well as SUP yoga classes, SUP events for kids, fishing and clinics for teaching paddling techniques. “Kayak fishing and SUPs are two of the fastest growing categories in the outdoor industry,” said Rounds. “We are excited to offer these activities to more people in western New York and people visiting Ellicottville. We have such a wide array of water resources that make our area the perfect fit for these growing trends.” For more information, visit adventureboundonthefly.com, or call (716) 217-4047.

At the intersection of 7th and Court streets in Little Valley sits a brick building with a cornerstone that reads 1911. It was dedicated in 1914 to 200 local veterans who had returned from the Civil War. James Whipple, a Salamanca lawyer and politician at the time, pointed out that the building was not to the scale of other monuments in the country, but it meant something to those in Cattaraugus County. “It will contain the battle flags which our boys carried and defended, and the relief and mementoes gathered by many hands from hundreds of places, especially those things telling us of the habits, the lives, the implements, the customs of early settlers in this county and Western New York,” Whipple said in his dedication. “To us in Cattaraugus County it tells of the early days, of our soldiers living and dead, and represents the thought, the patient work of those who conceived and built it. It will become the shrine of soldiers and sailors living, and the registry of those who have died,” Whipple exclaimed. Known as the Cattaraugus County Memorial and Historical Building, the site has been home to a library, the Cattaraugus County Museum and the board of elections building over the years. It has sat vacant for roughly 10 years, though, and in 2013 the county legislature appropriated funds and voted unanimously to demolish the building. Cue the “Citizens Advocating Memorial Preservation.” Known as CAMP, Citizens Advocating Memorial

Preservation is a group of 80 members who have thrown their support behind preserving the Cattaraugus County Memorial and Historical Building. Led by Thomas Stetz, members of CAMP have spoken to county legislators and preservation leagues to help them save the building. “A lot of our [supporters] are descendants of the people it was dedicated to. They’re all over the country – so this effort goes beyond Cattaraugus County.” The Landmark Society of Western New York, one of America’s oldest and most active preservation organizations, has recently taken an interest in the building, according to Stetz, and has added it to their “Five 2 Revive” list. Five 2 Revive is an annual list that calls attention to five buildings in the WNY area that the Landmark Society deems are worthy of being preserved. Being on the list means that staff from the Landmark Society will be dedicated to helping the preservation efforts. To date, the Landmark Society toured the building and dubbed it in “relatively good condition.” And, a grant from the Landmark Foundation was used for a feasibility study on the building, done by Clinton Brown Company Architecture. The study was presented to the county legislature’s Public Works Committee. “That’s pretty significant,” Stetz said. “This highly regarded [organization] in New York State saw this was a project worth their time. That’s something.”

In addition to the Landmark Society, the Civil War Trust has put its support behind CAMP’s efforts. In April, Gary Adelman, the director of history and education for the Trust, wrote a letter of support for preservation of the building. “To have support from a national group, for them to feel it was worthy … that really helps,” Stetz said. CAMP has also gained support from the Cattaraugus County American Legion, which presented its resolution of support to the county legislature. “CAMP members look at it not as a building but as a memorial to those soldiers,” Stetz said. “It’s a memorial that needs to be preserved … just like the Washington Monument or the Vietnam wall.” While there haven’t been any formal statements yet, Stetz said there has been talk from county legislators who have agreed to “back off.” Although it’s not official, Stetz said CAMP is considering this a victory. As for the future of the Cattaraugus County Memorial and Historical Building, there are no plans for what it will become, if it is saved. “The first thing is to make sure it doesn’t come down,” he said. “The Landmark Society has offered to market the building.

the rationale,” explained Bob McCarthy, who started the event as a way to ensure that local children receive toys on Christmas morning. McCarthy can’t give enough credit and thanks to Ed and Maribeth Rick who hosted the event at the Gin Mill for more than 10 memorable years. “We wouldn’t have been a success without them,” he said. The toy drive begins early Friday morning when McCarthy parks a Christmas tree decorated wagon outside EBC on Monroe Street. You can stop by any time after 7 a.m. and drop off a new, unwrapped toy or gift for a child, teen or adult. Then come back to EBC to enjoy the free event with live Irish music from 6–10 p.m., with a brief interruption at 7 p.m. for the infamous pie auction, featuring 10 delicious home-baked pies, donated annually by generous citizens of Ellicottville. Each year, the 10 pies are accompanied by a wooden piece hand made by McCarthy. Last year, each pie came with a pie box. This year, McCarthy is building Irish chests, measuring approximately 26” long by 12–14” wide and 12” high, to go with each pie. One of the pies, donated annually by Joany Bund, will rest atop a beautifully crafted birdhouse that will go home with a lucky bidder. Fueled by heated bidding, one pie went for more than $2,000 last year! Additional auction items will include a one-of-a-kind weaving from Studio Donegal, which McCarthy and friend

Huey Dunne brought back from their annual trip to Ireland. McCarthy is also crafting a mystery chest, which will have a lock and hasp — the highest bidder gets the key and all the Irish items in the chest. And Live Auction don’t bother asking him what’s inside, because he isn’t talking!

a few miles (or less!) from your driveway, which means shorter drives in hazardous weather and relatively less fuel consumption. Furthermore, small businesses are more likely to have a small environmental impact, as they typically occupy pre-existing structures and produce less waste than large chains. The overwhelming variety of merchandise offered by “big box” retailers sometimes eclipses the unique opportunities that shopping locally affords. While local retailers may not occupy the thousands of square feet that major retailers do, they offer a more unique inventory of items than can be carried by big chains. Small businesses also are more likely to carry Americanmade goods, including locallymade items that are unique to the area. If long lines and over-worked, unhappy sales associates are what you often encounter at the mall, then consider the friendly, personalized customer service that you could get at a business just down the street. Indeed, communities like Ellicottville, Allegany, Randolph and Olean provide many opportunities for Cattaraugus County residents to shop locally throughout the holiday season. Handmade gifts, apparel, spa and restaurant gift certificates and tasty treats are just some of the items that local businesses offer. According to Crystal Abers, director of the Cattaraugus County Economic Development, Planning and Tourism, local businesses and artisans are becoming a

mainstay of holiday shopping. “People seem to be going back to the local, homemade shopping experience,” explained Abers, “which means events like the W.I.L.M.A. Craft Show and Small Business Saturday are becoming more popular.” Indeed, the countysponsored W.I.L.M.A. craft show two weekends ago saw an increase in holiday shoppers looking for unique gifts. “This county offers a diverse range of businesses and goods that you can’t find in big stores,” said Abers. Hand-crafted jewelry, toys, and local foods like maple syrup, honey, and horseradish are just a few of the local items that make great gifts, especially for out-of-town relatives. Abers cites the county’s well-known wineries and distilleries, especially those in the Ellicottville area, as great sources of local gifts. Don’t be afraid to venture outside the downtown, too, as outlying businesses like alpaca farms have cozy accessories for every member of the family. While the trend to shop local is on the rise, Abers believes there’s opportunity for people to get more involved. Cattaraugus County offers several resources for shoppers looking to shop local over the next several weeks; visit EnchantedMountains.com for a directory of county shops and restaurants. Have a favorite EVL business? Watch for special sales and promotions on Small Business Saturday. You may be able to get all your holiday shopping finished by the end of the day!

This year marks the sixth year of Small Business Saturday, an event created by American Express to promote locally-owned businesses in 2010. Since then, the day has gained traction nationwide, as Small Business Saturday was officially recognized by the Senate in 2011. According to Forbes.com, a 2014 survey from the National Federation of Independent Businesses and American Express revealed that 88 million consumers “shopped small” on November 29, 2014, which was an increase of 14.9 percent from 2013. An impressive $14.3 billion was spent with independent retailers and restaurants on the day, up 2.1 percent from 2013. Equally impressive is the public recognition of Small Business Saturday, especially given the foothold that its notorious counterpart, Black Friday, has maintained for decades. According to Forbes. com, 67 percent of Americans were aware of Small Business Saturday in 2014, and on the day itself, 126,000 tweets were sent with such hashtags as #SmallBizSat and #ShopSmall. American Express continues to sponsor Small Business Saturday by offering small businesses a variety of free marketing tools that are available at ShopSmall.com. From posters to tote bags to digital marketing materials, American Express has made sure to bring their catch phrase, “Shop Small,” to the attention of more consumers every year. When it comes to shopping locally, convenience and a positive environmental impact go hand-in-hand. Chances are, a local business is just

The Art of Snow Jim Moor of Ellicottville, New York, is the featured artist at the Ellicottville Memorial Library through November and December. This exhibition features his photography in an exhibit entitled ‘THE ART OF SNOW IN BLACK AND WHITE’. The winter landscapes are in black and white printed on silver paper. Mr. Moor’s eye for the grace and contrasts of our coldest months produce scenes of exceptional beauty and serenity. In the artist’s words: “I have lived in western New York for over forty years. Having come from the flat topography of northwest Ohio, I immediately fell in love with our hills and valleys. They have provided me a strong sense of natural beauty as well as a definition of place. Seasonal change is more abrupt here than in Ohio. This is especially true of winter. It seems almost on a daily basis our winters become our shared conversation.

While I continually hear of the complaints, I am more attracted to those who remark about the beauty of this season…the landscapes that capture our eye. These landscapes are readily evident to us and provide us a shared experience and a definition of ourselves. However, through photography I sought to reduce our broad winter vistas in order to discover the art of winter in its smaller form. I found this art in our icy creeks, in our wind formed drifts, hanging on our branches, and on the shadows cast upon the snow. However, like all of us, I could not ignore the landscapes. My hope is that

the viewers of my collection will themselves make an effort to discover the beautiful art of snow in small places. It will be as rewarding to you as it is to me.” Jim Moor is a professor of Political Science, previously at St Bonaventure, and currently at SUNY Geneseo. He lives in Ellicottville with his wife, Judy, enjoying all the area has to offer. The Ellicottville Memorial Library is located at 6499 Maples Road in Ellicottville, NY. Hours are 10 to 5 daily except Sunday. Evening hours are 5-8pm Tuesday and Wednesday.
