November 7 Beer Fest Brewers Dinner Holiday Valley
Annual Beer and Wine Festival This Weekend
November 8 Beer and Wine Festival
By Alicia Dziak
Ellicottville’s year-round fun continues this month with the annual Beer and Wine Festival, Nov. 8 at Holiday Valley, hosted by Holiday Valley, Ellicottville Brewing Company and Southern Tier Brewery. Brew Masters Dinner The weekend kicks off with the Friday night Brew Masters Dinner, with a “Cirque de Bière” theme, at Holiday Valley Lodge. The circusthemed evening will feature unusual surprises, a unique photo booth, and a traditional tapping of the keg by the “god of beer” just as guests enter the dining room. The keg tapping will be followed by an array of food stations, boasting nationally recognized craft beers paired with classic, seasonally focused cuisine, with beer incorporated as an ingredient in almost every dish. Brewers will also be on hand to discuss each beer and the pairing decisions. “Our resort chef, Dave Seitz, has put together everything from wild game sausages to roast pork belly and steamship of venison with Yorkshire pudding,” said Franco Brady, general manager of Centerplate at Holiday Valley, the exclusive provider of all food and beverage at the resort. “His focus was to marry the food to the beer and create that unique fall flavor that embraces comfort food.”

Saluting Our Veterans Recognition Includes Nonprofit Organization’s Annual Fundraiser
By Daniel Meyer
Veterans Day, which is observed annually on Nov. 11, represents a single day of remembrance that recalls the signing of the armistice, which ended World War I in 1918. Military veterans are
honored and publicly thanked for their service to their country on Veterans Day in a variety of ways, including parades, church services and other types of community-wide recognition ceremonies. Congress officially recognized the end of World War I in 1926 and declared 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 servicemen to fight in World War II, it was decided in 1954 to change the name of the holiday to Veterans Day. In addition to the various VFW posts and American Legion halls recognizing our veterans on Nov. 11, a local non-for-profit organization See Saluting Veterans page 8

Four Mile Brewing Reinvents the Past Olean Craft Brewery Planning Spring 2015 Opening By Eva Potter
There’s nothing like repeating history, especially
when it comes to brewing great beer, and Four Mile Brewing will soon have patrons hooked on their specialty brews. The Olean startup has been renovating two old buildings on East Green Street in Olean, and it just so happens this was
the site of a brewery more than a century ago. The original Olean Brewery was established by Charles Dotterweich in the same building in 1856. In 1872, the building was destroyed by See Four Mile Brewing page 3

School Board to Consider New Capital Project Strategic Plan Extension in Development
By Jann Wiswall
At its meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 4, Ellicottville Central Schools (ECS) Superintendent Mark Ward asked the school board to think about a new capital project that would repair/replace leaking roofs and pay for some projects that were eliminated for budget
reasons from the capital project that is now underway. The current project, which we’ll call capital project No. 1, is the $9.8 million renovation project approved by voters in March 2013 and is well under way. Demolition is complete, concrete work has begun
and steel beams are set to be delivered in early December. As Ward explained to the board (and in an article in the newest edition of the school’s newsletter, which is viewable now at www. ellicottvillecentral.com), New ECS Capital Project page 4

Chef Dave will direct and orchestrate the team to produce the final menu. The result will be seven food stations serving up delectable combinations of food and beer. For example, one station will tentatively feature German beers, potato pancakes/pierogies with apples, bratwurst and cabbage. “We have concentrated on preparing and serving locally sourced products, and we will incorporate the beer served at the station into the food preparation, whether accentuating the flavors of the item or using the beer in the cooking process,” explained Brady. The Brew Masters Dinner typically draws a crowd of beer and fine food connoisseurs. “The brewers bring some of the their most special beers, and dinner guests can actually talk with the brewers one on one to discuss the finer points of these special beers,” said Jane Eshbaugh, marketing director for Holiday Valley. “Our chefs are creative in the way they incorporate beer in to each dish, even dessert! And this year will be a change from the past with some very interesting entertainment and special events!”
The night begins with hors d’oeuvres at 6 p.m. and food stations will open at 7 p.m. Tickets for the Brew Masters Dinner are $65, with a very limited supply still available. Beer and Wine Festival The fun continues on Saturday, when Holiday Valley Lodge transforms into the headquarters for the annual Beer and Wine Festival, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Guests will be able to sample over 100 handcrafted beers, hard ciders and wines from dozens of local craft breweries and wineries, and enjoy live music by Big Leg Emma and Smackdab. Tickets for Saturday’s Beer and Wine Festival are $60, with a limited supply left. Each ticket includes a commemorative tasting glass, unlimited 3 oz. samples of wine, beer and hard cider, and a $5 food voucher. Additional food will be available for purchase, with weekend specials. “Our culinary team at John Harvard’s will have a specialty beer soup, IPA battered fish & chips and in the Marketplace Café, there will be a specialty German mustard to go along with our sausages steamed in beer,” said Brady.

While there are other beer and wine events around, there’s none quite like this one. “You can’t beat the vibe of Holiday Valley and Ellicottville — it’s where everyone comes to have fun!” said Eshbaugh. “With partners like Ellicottville Brewing Company and Southern Tier Brewing, we are able to attract the most interesting and exciting brewers. And this is our 11th year, so we’ve been around the block a few times and know what people like.” These two fun-filled events almost always sell out — plan early (tickets usually go on sale in August) so you don’t miss out in 2015. “We do so much behind the scenes with so many departments and staff, that it’s just amazing to see the final product come together and watch the smiles leave at the end of the event,” Brady said, citing the Beer and Wine Festival one of the best events Ellicottville has to offer. I am always impressed at how well the Beer and Wine Festival Committee prepares and executes this event.” For up-to-date ticket information on both events, visit www.holidayvalley.com.
A glimpse into the brewing area from the taproom. fire, but it was rebuilt in 1874. At the time, the brewery was capable of producing 3,000 barrels per year and employed six, until Prohibition shut down operations for a while. For the past year, Gregg Piechota, Jaye Beattie and Nicholas Bohdanowycz, partners in Four Mile Brewing LLC, have been working to create a unique, modern-day brewpub with a nod to the past. Recently, they received a financial boost in the form of a $100,000 grant. “City of Olean Mayor Aiello and Community Development Coordinator Mary George approached us with this grant opportunity through the state’s Community Development Block Grant Program, they thought would fit our project perfectly,” said Piechota. This grant is specifically for their taproom operations and will be used to renovate the taproom space, purchase a walk-in cooler and tap system for the bar, and create an outdoor beer garden. “(The grant) also allows us to purchase things like an automated growler filler and washer, which will cut down on waste and provide a better taste experience overall,” he said. Last spring, Four Mile Brewing and Hellbender Development (a real-estate holding company) asked the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency for its support in purchasing the properties at 202 and 210 E. Green St. in Olean. One is the 6,380-square-foot building being renovated for use as a brewing facility, offices and taproom, which will include industrial, pre-Prohibition décor reflective of Olean’s storied past, as well as table and bar seating for about 40. The second building will serve as a warehouse and cold storage facility. Small-batch beers will be available in the taproom for growler fills and at certain local tap accounts. The brewery also
plans to can their flagship beers and possibly their seasonals, too. Deli-style sandwiches and healthier bar food will complement the brew, and periodic live music is planned to entertain guests. In addition, a beer garden located between the main brewery building and warehouse is sure to become a gathering spot in warmer months. A small hop garden with benches will add to the riverside ambiance. According to Piechota, “Renovations are going well. We are getting the brewing space ready to receive the equipment, which should be arriving mid-December, and then we will start working on the public spaces.” Piechota said the taproom and bar will be the last areas to be finished and estimated renovations will total around $200,000. “We have purchased a 15-barrel brewing system from Premier Stainless out of San Diego. In addition to the brewing system, we ordered three 15-barrel fermenters and one 30-barrel fermenter, along with a 15-barrel and 30-barrel conditioning tank to start with,” he said. Future plans include a canning line for retail sales. “In the taproom, we are in the process of ordering a growler filling station along with a growler wash station. This will allow us to clean and sanitize your growler before we fill it, and then purge your growler with CO2 to remove oxygen (which will oxidize beer and kill flavor over time) and then fill your growler with zero waste,” he explained. “In doing this, the beer you take home in the growler will remain fresh in your refrigerator for a longer period of time.” The total cost of brewing equipment and the growler filler/washer will cost about $320,000. Piechota said they plan to produce about 1,500 barrels the first year and increase
production to about 3,500 barrels within the next three years. Ready for some mouthwatering descriptions of Four Mile Brewing selections? “Our three main beers, to begin with, will be a Pale Wheat Ale, an IPA, and a Black IPA. The Pale Wheat Ale is our classic summertime beer that would go great on the golf course, out for a hike, or on a boat. This beer will be the first beer we package in cans so that you can enjoy it anywhere,” said Piechota. “Our IPA is a hop head’s dream, with abundant citrus, pine and floral aromatics, and was created by our assistant brewer, Craig Clark. Our Black IPA is deceptively smooth for its color, with a piney chocolate flavor and aroma. After these, we plan on having a rotation of seasonal beers as well as experimental one-offs that are looking to make the cut into permanent rotation.” Four Mile Brewing was anticipated to open in the fall of 2014, but plans were pushed to 2015 when more time was needed to apply for the grant. They are now planning a spring opening. “We are hoping to do some soft openings by March and a larger grand opening to follow later in the spring, when we finish the outdoor seating area,” said Piechota. Piechota and his partners are grateful for the positive reception they have received. “We would not be where we are today without the amazing cooperation and support we’ve received from the local governments and agencies, friends, family, and the community. We still have a long way to go moving forward, but we can’t wait to thank everyone by creating a destination for great local beer!” he said.

Springville Door & Window: ‘Quality Always Comes First’ Sales, Service and Installation Satisfy Building and Remodeling Needs
BY Daniel Meyer
Having served Western New York since 1986, Springville Door & Window operates under the philosophy of offering high quality products designed to make homes and businesses both eye appealing and energy efficient. Owned and operated by David Batterson, Springville Door & Window is located at 56 Waverly St. in the village of Springville. Established by Batterson and Jim Webster, the general contracting business opened on April 1, 1986, but has proven to a serious contender with nearly 30 year of selling and installing a wide variety of home improvement products. While offering all types of contracting services, the focus during the early days of the business was on doors and windows. Webster eventually decided to go in a different direction and opened his own business, with Batterson buying Webster out and preparing for a drastic overhaul of the company. The new mindset was having in-stock, topnotch products that are on the cutting edge, giving customers various options as they select new products to breathe new life into their home or business. “We are a company based on quality,” said Batterson. “With the length of time we’ve been in business, it says a lot about us because our philosophy has never changed. Our designs and concepts are done with the homeowner in mind. They want something that looks beautiful and can provide energy savings, so we do whatever we need to do to please each and every one of them.” Batterson did make some adjustments over the years,

becoming quite aggressive in pursuing the remodeling sector of the industry. In addition to sales, service and installation of all types of doors and windows, they also do work related to garage doors, decking and railing, home and attic installation, vinyl siding, countertops and much more. “We survived because of our strong work ethic and our reputation of selling high quality products,” said Batterson. “I refuse to sell any products that are cheap and poor quality. It makes no sense, because you end up with disappointed customers who obviously would not return or give you a positive recommendation.” Batterson said being based in Springville is the ideal location for his business based on his approach to his work and the type of community Springville is. “Springville is great and has served us well,” said Batterson. “It’s a small village atmosphere and we love that. Everyone here looks out for each other. Many of our customers admire the reputation we have in this community and throughout Western New York.” Working with a staff of approximately 12 employees, Batterson stresses the importance of assisting
customers with free in-home estimates on any type of service or installation work. Their showroom displays all types of products that allow customers to casually browse what is available for any kind of home remodeling project. “Our showroom is set up to be a place that has a lot of before-and-after projects so people get a real good look and clear visual on what type of work we can do for them,” said Batterson. All of the items sold at Springville Door & Window are fully customizable, with the company offering its services to most of Western New York, including Ellicottville and covering as far north as the suburbs of Buffalo and as far south as the New YorkPennsylvania border. Springville Door & Window is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursdays from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. To make an appointment or to schedule a free estimate, call (716) 592-9803. In addition, more information about the company can be found at www. springvilledoorandwindow. com or search “Springville Door and Window” on Facebook.
New ECS Capital Project Continued from Front Page
some of the original elements outlined in project No. 1 had to be eliminated for budget reasons. These included renovation of the southern entrance to the high school, security-related renovations to the two main front entrances and replacement of the roof from the southern entrance to the main office. The new project — capital project No. 2 — would include those three projects plus replacement of the roof on the elementary wing. Ward characterized the roof replacements as critical due to last year’s harsh winter. Ward emphasized that pricing has not yet been
estimated for the project, however his best guess puts the cost at $900,000-$975,000. No calculations of the cost to taxpayers had not been calculated yet either, but Ward believed it would be “negligible, particularly for those with STAR exemptions.” If the board chooses to approve all or part of capital project No. 2, the proposal would be brought to a vote by district residents. Ward asked the board to think about the idea and to be ready to discuss it over the next several months with an eye toward a referendum in January. His plan would be to complete the work while

construction is underway on capital project No. 1. In other business, Ward announced that interested parents, teachers, school administrators, community members and others are invited to attend a kickoff meeting to begin developing a five-year extension of the school’s 2009 strategic plan. The meeting will be held on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria. Elementary School Principal Connie Poulin will lead the process. The next meeting of the ECS school board will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school library. All are welcome.

Oct. 31 - Nov. 6, 2014
By William Thomas
‘People - Drop Your Costumes and Put Your Hands Up!’ A few nights before Halloween, a man in Nunica, Michigan attended a costume party dressed as a zombie. Stepping outside for a smoke, he decided he’d creep onto the road in front of the house in order to frighten motorists. And boy, did his plan work. He scared one driver so badly, the guy ran him over with his car. So in that sense, 45-year-old Jeffrey Stiles was quite successful. Jeffrey did not die, because as any fan of The Walking Dead knows, in order to kill a zombie, you must detach the head from the body. Stiles is recovering from non-life threatening injuries and police are looking for a hit-andrun driver who is now really, really scared. In tracking down the hit and run driver, Michigan police may have to enlist the help of the state’s real life super hero, Bee Sting. But they’ll have to move fast because Bee Sting, who dresses up as a law-enforcing bumble bee, accidentally discharged his shotgun at a trailer park where he was fighting crime. As a result, this four-winged hairy insect may be going to jail. Super hero Phoenix Jones might have been able to help Michigan police get their man, except he might be going to jail too. Phoenix dresses up in a yellow and black cape-style costume and — though nobody has actually asked him to — fights crime on the streets of Seattle, Washington. He has been accused of using pepper spray to break up a fight in front of a downtown bar that witnesses say never happened. That’s an excellent indication of a dropping crime rate, where a super hero has to manufacture misdeeds in order to look busy. On second thought, putting Phoenix Jones and Bee Sting on the same case probably would not
have worked. With both showing up in clashing bright yellow costumes, they’d have likely gotten into a real cat fight. Which brings us to Hello Kitty. Two hours past midnight on Halloween, Hello Kitty was arrested in the small town of Gorham, Maine and charged with drunk driving. Carrie Gipon, 37 years old and dressed in a classic red and white Hello Kitty costume, was spotted driving in the wrong lane and pulled over by police. She refused to take the breathalyzer after she kept getting her whiskers caught in the inhaler. Gorham police took down Hello Kitty all by themselves, choosing not to enlist the help of Matthew Argintar, New Jersey’s very own Batman. The all-black, masked crime fighter may not have been available anyway since he was recently arrested near a Home Depot for disorderly conduct and the illegal possession of handcuffs. Oakland’s Motor Mouth might have been able to bring justice to the Hello Kitty caper but coastto-coast is a long way to fly. He would have had to refuel his cape at least six times. Motor Mouth best sums up this new super hero phenomena when he says: “I want to help the cities of my area and make sure that people know my name and that I’m not just some random guy wearing a mask, some dude who read too many comic books or somebody that doesn’t have a life.” Motor Mouth, who wears a black bullet-proof vest, learned all his skills as a super hero from a comic book called “Kickass,” which tells me that might have that vest on backwards. Do you remember when men who wore masks were the bank robbers, not guys named Captain Oyster and Phantom
Zero hanging around banks to catch the robbers?!? Do you remember when Superman and Spider-Man put bad guys behind bars instead of serving time in the crowbar hotel themselves?!? Do you remember when everyone was kung-fu fighting and not handcuffing, pepper-spraying and firing shotguns off in the middle of the night?!? Still, they’re in our midst. They come in all sizes and costumes and almost every big city in America has one - today’s real life super hero. They have names like Moon Dragon, Geist and Purple Reign. Crime fighters, or just guys who like to wear tights? There’s even a team of them now operating in Canada. They wear cowboy hats and scarlet red tunics and they ride horses in circles to the sound of music and ... No! Wait! Those are the Royal Canadian Mounted Police! Those guys are for real! Call me old-fashioned, but I think super heroes belong on the pages of comic books and these real-life super heroes belong in protective custody. As far as guys in costume helping citizens in distress, we should have drawn the line at Boy Scouts helping little old ladies cross the street and doing it for a chivalry badge. People in costumes and crime are a real bad mix. As Superman’s Lois Lane once said: “How many “f’s” in catastrophic?” For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca

2014 Election Results Continued from Front Page
means that the town board will go through the job application process to appoint a qualified individual for the role who will start on Jan. 1, 2016. The appointee will report directly to the town board. Currently, the elected highway superintendent is an autonomous position — he/she works independently and does not report to anyone. The board sets the department budget (which represents 37 percent of the entire town budget), but has no control or official influence about how the budget is spent. With an appointed position, the board can be involved in decision making about expenditures, as well as about issues, problems and solutions. Town Supervisor John Burrell said, “I am happy that the majority of the voters trust the Town Board to appoint the most qualified applicant for the position. Our town has great roads, excellent equipment and a state-of-the-art maintenance/ storage facility, which can be attributed, in large part, to
the hard work that [current highway superintendent] Dave Golley has put in for more than 20 years,” he said. When Golley’s term is up at the end of 2015, however, Burrell has been concerned about the “unknown of who might run for the position.” “I worried about what qualifications and abilities the candidates might or might not have,” he said. With the ability to hire the position according to the State Civil Service eligibility requirements, the board can ensure that the appointee will have the appropriate road construction and management experience. Statewide Election Results In the statewide elections, New York voters elected Andrew Cuomo (D) for another term as governor with Western New York’s Kathy Hochul as Lieutenant Governor. Thomas DiNapoli (D) won re-election as state comptroller and Eric Schneiderman (D) was reelected as attorney general.
In the 8th Judicial District, voters were asked to elect five State Supreme Court justices. Winners included Frederick J. Marshall, E. Jeanette Ogden, Dennis E. Ward, Paul B. Wojtaszek and Donna M. Siwek. All three statewide proposals that were on the ballot passed. Area voters reelected Republican Tom Reed as their congressional representative for District 23. State Senator Catherine M. Young ran unopposed for reelection in the 57th Senate District, State Assembly Member Joseph M. Giglio ran unopposed for reelection in Assembly District 148, and Cleon W. Easton, who also ran unopposed, was elected Cattaraugus County Coroner. In Ellicottville, town and village voters elected John T. Nelson as town justice. Nelson was running unopposed. None of the other area municipalities surrounding Ellicottville had local elections or propositions on the ballot.

First Annual EVL Half and 5K a Scary Good Success Family Run Creates Memorable Bonding Experience
By Alicia Dziak
A Halloween-themed race in Ellicottville in November? “Sign me up!� was all I thought when I first heard the news. In recent years, my daughters and I have gotten into running. We have a handful of 5Ks under our belts, so when I heard about the EVL Half and 5K, I was excited to have another opportunity to tackle a course with my girls, now ages 9 and 11. And it gave us an excuse to come up with a goofy family costume, which we decided would be Pac-Man (me) and Pac-Man Ghosts. When I woke up on Nov. 1 to a dusting of snow, it made me kind of excited to head to Ellicottville for the morning. Sure, it was chilly. A little wet. But hey, this is Western New York and it’s November — what do you expect? Sometimes, parking in Ellicottville on event weekends is a concern, but parking was no issue — there were many spots open along the streets. We headed to the parking lot behind the City Garage to pick up our race packets. While crowded, there were enough lines going and people shuffling us through quickly. We got our race numbers and timing chips, and really fun race T-shirts. (Being female, I liked that we got shirts cut for women instead of the baggy men’s shirts we usually get from races.) The half marathon started at 11 a.m. and as soon as those dedicated runners headed out, the 5K runners began to line up behind the starting line on Monroe Street. About 300 runners were expected for the 5K. It was nicely un-crowded and great to have some elbowroom right from the getgo. (In some of the other 5Ks we’ve run in, it takes several minutes to establish your pace
because you’re tripping over other runners.) The course led us over to Mechanic Street, by the Nannen Arboretum, out to Maples Road, and then looped back into town again. It was a relatively flat course, wellmarked and safe, with many people directing any traffic along the way. We loved seeing everyone decked out in their costumes and hearing people cheer each other on. At the end, the starting line became the finish line, and we did our best to finish strong. We didn’t beat our best time ever, but I admit, we didn’t exactly train for this one and for me, the bonding time was more important than the actual time. (I will note that, as a parent, running these kinds of races with your kids is an amazing way to connect with them. You encourage each other along the way and leave with a truly memorable experience!) “The course was nice and flat and easy to run in the cold,� my 11-year-old, Ava, said. “I liked seeing people I knew dressed in costumes on the course, and I also liked having the timing chips so I knew how fast I ran.� “I enjoyed seeing all the costumes, and am excited to

We congratulated each other and friends we saw, then headed to EBC for the after-party. And, of course, we had to stop and use the discount card included in our race bag for some Watson’s chocolate! “The EVLHalf would like to say THANK YOU to everyone, from our charity partners (Ellicottville Sports Boosters, Phoenix Program, Food Pantry, Springville track), all the volunteers, our fantastic sponsors law enforcement, Ellicottville Great Valley Ambulance Service, the Ellicottville Fire Department, local shops, event staff, the Village of Ellicottville, the Towns of Ellicottville and Mansfield, and especially everyone who raced on November 1,� said Gwen Bush, who organized the race, along with her husband, Doug. “We are looking forward to making the EVL Half Marathon and 5K even bigger and better in 2015!� Visit www.evlhalf.com for more information and to be in the know for 2015’s event.

LEGAL MATTERS:
Simplified Probate Process for Small Estates
By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, Attorneys and Counselors of Law
Legal Matters is a regular column intended to address general legal concerns. Since every client walks in the door with a different set of circumstances, you should not rely on this column to provide specific legal advice. If you are in need of specific legal advice, please consult with an attorney; he or she will provide advice that is unique and tailored to your legal needs. I often hear the question: “I’m the executor of my father’s estate, but he didn’t have anything … do we really have to go through probate?” The answer is “probably not”
— at least not in the formal sense. The same answer applies if the decedent did not have a will. New York established a Small Estate program to facilitate the distribution of decedents’ assets. It is essentially the Surrogate’s Court version of Small Claims Court. An estate may be probated as a Small Estate if the decedent (a) died after January 1, 2009; (b) had $30,000 or less in personal property; and (c) either didn’t own real property or owned it jointly (as joint tenants or tenants by the entirety, with rights of survivorship). To clarify, if the decedent owned real property only in her name only or as tenants in common with another person, the estate must go through full probate. If the decedent had a will, the named executor has the first right to act as voluntary administrator. If no will exists, the spouse of the decedent, if any, has the first right to act, then adult children, and so forth as set out by statute. To open the estate, the person entitled to act must file a Small Estate Affidavit and an original death certificate with Surrogate’s
Court in the county of the decedent’s residence. The filing fee for Small Estate Affidavits is $1.00. Although Surrogate’s Court reviews the affidavits, there is no formal notice requirement to beneficiaries or persons entitled to take under New York State law (if no will exists). Certificates of Voluntary Administration are usually issued by Surrogate’s Court within a few days of filing the Affidavit. The voluntary administrator is then responsible for collecting the decedent’s assets and using those assets to pay debts. The balance is distributed to the beneficiaries of the will or to distributees under New York’s laws of intestacy. Once the estate is distributed, the voluntary administrator must file a Report & Account with the Surrogate’s Court. The Small Estate Affidavit and Report & Account are standard forms that are easily found on-line or obtained from Surrogate’s Court. Although an attorney is not necessary, most attorneys are happy to answer a quick question to point clients in the right direction.
Follow One Veteran’s Journey During a Special ECS Presentation November 12
Reprinted from the OctoberNovember 2014 ECS Newsletter.
With November 11 marking the end of World War I, the Ellicottville Central School District would like to honor all veterans with a special human interest story scheduled to be presented on Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. in the high school library. Ellen Frank, whose father was the former longtime ECS teacher and Superintendent Daniel Sirianni, is going to present, “My Father’s Journey to the Past.” On Oct. 14, 1943, during World War II, while on a raid
to bomb ball bearing factories in Schweinfurt, Germany, Mr. Sirianni’s plane was shot down. His story takes him from his unexpected landing, hiding out, his capture and the nearly two years he spent in a German prison. The story then fasts forward to 2006 where he visits and meets family members who helped him in Germany and reconnects with the living members of his plane. It is a fascinating story In 2006, Mr. Sirianni returned to Germany, accompanied by Ellen, for the first time to meet people and visit places he had

not seen in 63 years! As Dan’s daughter, Ellen, traveled with him, she learned a great deal about the experiences he had during the war. This journey and her father’s recollections have provided the backdrop for this very interesting presentation that the two of them put together. We are excited to have the opportunity to share this with the public, and we encourage you to take an hour out of your day to honor our veterans and find out what Mr. Sirianni’s journey was all about. It will be well worth your time!

“Station Eleven” by Emily St. John An audacious, darkly glittering novel set in the eerie days of civilization’s collapse, Station Eleven tells the spellbinding p story of a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors ac roaming the scattered outposts of the Great Lakes region, risking ever everything for art and humanity. Sp Spanning decades, moving back and forth in time, and vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, this suspenseful, elegiac novel is rife with beau beauty. As Arthur falls in and out of love, as Jeevan watches the newscasters say their final good-byes, and as Kirsten finds herself caught in the crosshairs of the t prophet, we see the strange twists of fate that connect them all. A novel nov of art, memory, and ambition, Station Eleven tells a story about the relationships rela that sustain us, the ephemeral nature of fame, and the beauty of the world as we know it. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Lib Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 7,000 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your yo library card!
Saluting Veterans Continued from Front Page
continues assisting veterans from across Western New York. As part of their work to recognize veterans, a special tribute will take place next week. Focusing their mission of improving the lives of those who served our nation, WNY Heroes is making a difference in the lives of local military veterans, including service members from the Ellicottville area. The organization’s dedicated volunteers will host the fifth annual Red, White & Blue Gala on Friday, Nov. 14 at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens in Depew. The annual fundraiser will recognize veterans who have served and the families of those left behind because of the service of a loved one. Founded in 2007, WNY Heroes provides veterans and the widows and children of deceased veterans with access to everyday essential living needs, financial assistance and other resources to help support them and help maintain their dignity. The organization is overseen by an advisory board comprised of various business leaders, community stakeholders and representatives of various philanthropic and civic foundations. Excitement is building for
next week’s recognition dinner, which will begin at 6 p.m. “This is our one major fundraiser where we give recognition to those who have served and those families left behind because of service of their loved one,” said Chris Kreiger, who serves as president and chief executive officer of WNY Heroes. “Last year our office was able to assist our families in need with more than $80,000. We have been able keep them in their current homes, keep their utilities turned on and make sure there is food on their tables. If by chance they are homeless, we pay to put them into housing and get them off the street.” 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. “These veterans should not be returning home and end up homeless or jobless,” said Kreiger, a U.S. Army veteran who served overseas. “They should be given first choice for job hiring and I know our community is trying to make that happen. You have to understand that it is very hard for veterans today 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 end up in positions they cannot get out of alone. Holding this annual fundraiser allows us to help them and 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 remain local. What we do stays right here in Western New York.” Kreiger’s message to Ellicottville area residents is to consider making a donation to WNY Heroes. “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 serve our country and preserve our wonderful way of life,” said Kreiger. “Any concern for our veterans and displaying of kindness mean the world to us.” For more information about WNY Heroes, including how to purchase tickets to the 2014 Red, White & Blue Gala, visit www.wnyheroes.org or call (716) 630-5020.

CCB Asks: Can You Help Us Keep Kids Warm This Winter? LITTLE VALLEY, N.Y. – During the month of November, all eight CCB (Cattaraugus County Bank) locations will display red wagons. The red wagon is the national symbol of “America’s Promise” (a nationwide program that focuses on improving the lives of America’s youth). The wagons will serve as depositories for public donations of new hats and mittens. Local groups and schools will receive and distribute the donations. CCB joined America’s Promise in 1999 and is helping to ensure that children receive the five resources the organization believes children
need in order to become productive adults: an ongoing relationship with a caring adult-mentor, access to safe places and structured activities during non-school hours, a healthy start, a marketable skill through effective education, and an opportunity to give back through community service. “The air’s getting colder and colder. Children need to stay warm as they play and travel outdoors. A good hat and a pair of mittens is just what they need!” stated Mary Jo Woodarek, CCB’s America’s Promise Chair. “We don’t want any child to be cold this coming winter. It’s as simple as that. Some families need help
and CCB is pleased to take the initiative to do that. So … we ask … can you help a child by donating hats and mittens?” CCB is an FDIC insured New York State chartered independent, community bank. From Jan. 2, 1902, CCB has established an unprecedented record of fiscal integrity and sound financial growth, which now totals $190 million in assets. CCB maintains convenient ATMs and can be found on the web at www. ccblv.com. CCB is an equal housing lender. CCB’s main office is located in Little Valley, with seven branch offices.
WNY Cultural Industry Contributes Over $157 Million to Local Economy Arts and Culture Major Players in Attracting Businesses BUFFALO, N.Y. — Arts Services Initiative of Western New York (ASI) announced the release of the “Economic Impact of Western New York’s Not-for-Profit Cultural Industry” report. The findings of the report conclude that 105 not-for-profit cultural organizations in Erie Niagara, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties contribute an estimated $87 million to local GDP, while their audiences provide an estimated $70.2 million in revenue to the WNY economy. This spending supports a total of 2,900 full-time equivalent jobs and generates $4.3 million in government revenue through sales and income taxes. The full report is available at www.asiwny.org/ec-impactreport-2014. “The practice of economic development has changed considerably in the past decade from one based solely on sites and incentives to one that also encompasses the development of human capital; that is, those sets of skills, knowledge, and creativity contributed by its residents,” Amherst
Industrial Development Agency Executive Director James Allen said. “Retaining and attracting those individuals that possess these attributes is paramount to developing a successful economic development strategy. Integrating a flourishing arts and cultural sector can affect where workers in the ‘knowledge economy’ want to live and as such is essential for workforce recruitment and retention strategies. It is not merely coincidental that the growth of our arts and cultural community is part of our region’s most recent renaissance; great things are happening here and innovators and entrepreneurs want to be a part of it!” ASI commissioned Center for Governmental Research (CGR) of Rochester to calculate the effect the cultural sector has on the local economy, thanks to a grant from The New York Community Trust. The Niagara University Center for Events & Management Development collected the audience data, while the Cultural Data Project was used for organizational data. CGR used the latest year data available for each organization ranging from 2009 to 2013. Audience data was collected in 2013.
“We’re not accustomed to thinking about arts and culture as making an independent contribution to the economy — but they do, as demonstrated here,” Center for Governmental Research Project Director Kent Gardner, Ph.D. added. “And in a footloose business climate, arts and culture also play a very important indirect role in economic development, both as ‘glue’ for firms thinking of relocating and as a ‘magnet’ for firms looking for a community, not just a business location.” “This report, done by an independent outside agency, clearly demonstrates that the arts provide a great return on investment for the region,” ASI Executive Director Tod A. Kniazuk concluded. “That said, it’s important to note that the cultural sector also has an impact on tourism, education, national and international recognition for the area, business and employee attraction, service to the community, and more. No other sector offers these multiple impacts, and perhaps most importantly serves to inspire those who enjoy it while reflecting the culture of the people and places of our region; that’s the true impact of arts and culture.”

Family Establishes Fund to Support Scholarship, Several Causes OLEAN, N.Y.– Several local nonprofits as well as a scholarship will receive support through a new fund established at the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation in memory of a Great Valley couple. The Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Fund was established by their daughter and son-in-law, Elizabeth and Paul Hanson of Olean. Mr. Janowicz was a longtime employee of DresserRand and Conrail, and Mrs. Janowicz was a school bus driver for the Ellicottville School District. Each year beginning in 2015, a portion of the fund will provide for a new scholarship — the Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Scholarship. This $500 award will be for a graduating senior from Ellicottville Central School who plans to attend a two- or four-year college and who demonstrates academic excellence and financial need. “This scholarship is especially poignant because Mrs. Janowicz met and got to know so many children in the Ellicottville School District on her many daily bus runs,” explained Karen Niemic Buchheit, CRCF executive director. As well as the annual
scholarship, the fund will make annual grants to the Great Valley Volunteer Fire Company, Olean General Hospital Foundation’s Marie Lorenz Dialysis Center Fund and the Olean Public Library. “This fund is a wonderful way for the family to remember Paul and Mary Janowicz and support some of the organizations they cared about during their lifetime,” Mrs. Buchheit said. Donations to the Paul and Mary Janowicz Memorial Fund may be made care of the Community Foundation at 120 North Union St., Olean, NY 14760, and online at www. cattfoundation.org. Established in 1994, The
Community Foundation is growing good by connecting donors to the causes they care about most in our region. Grants from the foundation support many areas including education, scholarships, health care, the arts, community development, human service and youth development.

Community Causes
People of all abilities can enjoy the slopes through Holiday Valley’s Lounsbury Adaptive Program, which teaches mentally and physically challenged people to ski and board. It’s no surprise that visitors return year after year. Adrenaline junkies will love the snowy thrill ride down the Holiday Valley Mountain Coaster on a 2,940-foot track with zigzags, waves, curves and a corkscrew spiral. It’s open year round with limited winter hours. Then head to the Holiday Valley Tubing Company where 12 lanes and 2 handle tows provide hours of fun. There’s even a Little Tubers area for the wee ones. Make new friends by the giant fire pit or relax in the warming hut complete with snack bar, fireplace, game room and restrooms. Bring your ice skates and take a spin on the rink!
Penguin-style belly sledding races take the spotlight at Holiday Valley’s annual Penguin Paddle Feb. 21, along with a delicious cookout and auction to support the Lounsbury Adaptive Program. Stop Cancer—a ski and snowboard fundraising event for various WNY cancer centers—will take to the slopes Feb. 28 at Holiday Valley. The event supports cancer research, treatment and education. Breast cancer awareness activities include a boarding clinic, terrain park contest, silent and Chinese auctions and awards party.
Winter Wind-Down
On March 14-15, celebrate Winter Carnival/Mardi Gras on the slopes of Holiday Valley and throughout the village. This family-style celebration features a scavenger hunt, colorful beads, face painting, a costume parade and the photo-worthy Dummy Downhill. On March 28, the Valley’s Pond Skimming caps off the season’s events.
