The village streets and hot spots in EVL will come alive with a non-stop lineup of live music, beginning Friday evening and going right through the weekend until late Sunday afternoon. Although the weekend is named for “rock n’ roll,” you’ll hear that genre and a whole lot more – from all styles of rock to blues, Americana, jazz and reggae. It’s all happening at your fave Ellicottville hangouts, including the Gin Mill, Armor Inn, Balloons, EBC, Madigan’s, as well as at the Ellicottville Winery Main Stage on Monroe Street, the Village Gazebo and St. John’s Church. Literally, everywhere you go you’ll be treated to amazing local music. And what’s more rock n’ roll than awesome cars to go with the awesome music? On Sunday, check out the 16th annual Classic Car Show, where the hottest cars, trucks, rods and more will line the streets for your viewing pleasure. Cars will be judged by a panel of experienced car enthusiasts with awards given in a variety of categories. Choose your favorites and see how your picks compare to the pros! Close summer out with a bang at Rock N’ Roll Weekend, sure to get you fired up for fall. For a complete weekend schedule, see page 11. For more information, visit www.ellicottvilleny.com.

Adventure Bound onthefly is On the Way
Three public hearings were opened and closed during the Village of Ellicottville’s Board meeting on Monday, Sept. 14. No one from the public was in attendance. The first hearing was to allow comment on Local Law No. 1 of the Year 2015, which amends Local Law No. 3 of 1982, which established rules requiring “owners and occupants of land

Miguel Azcarate (left) and US Ski Team member and Olympic champion Ted Ligety
Locals know Miguel Azcarate for many things. He’s a former professional ski racer from Spain. He and his wife Kimberly Reading own the landmark Mud Sweat n’ Gears Ski and Snowboard Shop. He is the Training Center Director at Holiday Valley. He’s a longtime ski coach who operates the Ligety Weibretch Summer Ski Camp in Mount Hood, Oregon, coaching alongside Ted Ligety and Andrew Weibretch. Now he’s adding something new to his long list of credentials: Azcarate was asked by U.S. Ski Team to be a guest coach at the men’s fall speed camp in Chile. See Azcarate page 2

Town Has New Alarm Law
On Wednesday, Sept. 16, the Town of Ellicottville’s board approved a new Local Alarm Law with revisions following some recommendations from Village Justice Jack Rogan and Fire Chief Kevin Morton at last month’s meeting. Town residents will be informed about the details of the new law through local newspapers,
inserts in their annual tax bills and, for some, personal phone calls. The law, which goes into effect on February 1, 2016, is “designed to regulate, control and establish standards for… emergency alarms which transmit a signal (electronic, audible or otherwise) that may or may not require a police or fire department response for
the purposes of investigation, action or safeguarding of property at the location from which such alarm is generated.” Its intent is to ensure that fire and police are able to contact the property owner if their alarm goes off, either due to a true emergency or a false alarm. It is also intended to reduce the number of false alarms, which See Town Board page 12
Giving More than the Gift of Life
ECS Colleagues Have Special Connection after Living Donor Transplant
By Daniel Meyer
It is a gift many people have the power to give, yet very few people would ever consider participating in a living donor organ transplant. But for Kelly McMahon, it was a no-brainer. After learning details of Tammy Peters’ almost two-decade old struggle with a progressive liver Kelly McMahon (left) and Tammy Peters

“I’ve worked with many coaches and athletes from the World Cup and U.S. Ski Team for the last seven years at our summer ski camp in Mount Hood,â€? Azcarate explained. “These athletes are the best skiers in the world, so I’m looking forward to this opportunity,â€? he said of his upcoming 2-3 week-long trip. In Chile, Azcarate will be coaching Ligety and Weibretch, as well as Marco Sullivan, Steve Nyman and Travis Ganong, although no speciďŹ c duties are on the docket as of yet. “I will be helping with anything they need,â€? Azcarate said. The camp will be held at Corralco Ski Area, a premier race training venue in the southern part of Chile. While heading to Chile may be a culture shock to many, Azcarate is very familiar with the country. “I spent many years ski racing in Chile, speciďŹ cally at Portillo, La
Azcarate in Portillo, Chile, circa 1987
Parva and Termas de Chilan. I’m really looking forward to skiing in Chile again,� he said. Unquestionably, Miguel knows the sport of skiing. Azcarate originates from San Sebastian, Spain and has skied throughout Europe and North and South America. He took a
liking to ski racing at a young age in the western Pyrenees Mountains and started racing extensively throughout Europe. Through skiing and the love of travel, Azcarate made his way to Ellicottville, and has called it home for the last 30 years.

Reprinted with permission from the September 2015 Ellicottville Central School District Newsletter In a clear testament to the kindness and empathy of our young students, Mrs. Moore’s 5th grade class of last year entered and won a contest entitled Everyone Has Rights. Sponsored by the New York State United Teachers and the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights, this contest invited students in grades K-5 from across New York to create a 6090 second video that would inspire viewers to embrace the
importance of human rights worldwide. Students were encouraged to learn about human rights violations that children their own age are experiencing around the world. What an eye-opening experience for them! As they read about and discussed this issue, Mrs. Moore’s students decided to focus on the right of decency. To see their awardwinning video, go to www. everyonehasrights.com. But that’s not where their powerful story ends. After learning that the class won $175 ($100 for classroom
supplies and $75 for a party), the students took little time to realize that their winnings must go toward a worthy cause rather than a class celebration. How many 5th grade students pass up an opportunity for a party? These students chose the Cleveland House for their donation, a lovely place where people awaiting, or recovering from, liver transplants can stay at low cost. Take a minute to view the video and you’ll hear their voices as they share their own poem and artwork. There is no doubt we’ll be hearing about this class, the class of 2022, in the coming years.

Get Ready for an Illuminating Experience NIGHT LIGHTS Returns to GrifďŹ s Sculpture Park
Empire City Farms 105 South Street, Cuba NY $7 Daily Admission (ages 10 & Under Free!)
Free Parking! No Pets Please!
By Eva Potter
Mark your calendars for Sept. 23 and get ready for a surreal experience when NIGHT LIGHTS returns to GrifďŹ s Sculpture Park in East Otto. If you missed it last year, don’t get left in the dark — you’ll have 13 evenings to light up your night. NIGHT LIGHTS is an illumination installation and light show, complete with dramatic theatrics, interactive creative lighting and sound, that allows visitors to explore and experience GrifďŹ s Sculpture Park and its unusual, mammoth sculptures in a very unique way. “This is our third year of setting up lights at the sculpture park and we are looking forward to creating new lighted landscapes and interactions with the sculptures,â€? said Doug Sitler, of SitlerHQ LLC, which has been putting on NIGHT LIGHTS since 2009. The park’s trails at 6902 Mill Valley Rd., East Otto, will open each night at 7:30 p.m. so guests can explore a surrealistic collision of magical illumination with the artful intertwining of sculpture and nature. “What I love seeing are so many ďŹ rst-time visitors to the sculpture park because of
NIGHT LIGHTS. People also love the sculpture park and are always looking for new ways to experience the place,â€? said Sitler. “So I’m glad by us lighting up some trees and sculptures, it’s bringing some well-deserved attention to this amazing park.â€? New and improved lighting, along with the addition of two sound systems that add soundscapes to the already hypnotic landscape, will enhance your visit, whether it’s your ďŹ rst time or you just had to come back for another visit. “The lights take about a week to set up,â€? Sitler explained. “We use more than a mile of powerlines and cords to bring electric throughout the lower portion of the park.â€? The self-guided tour is great for people of all ages, but be sure to wear appropriate shoes to walk on the uneven, somewhat hilly ground. Guests are also encouraged to bring
ashlights for a few darker sections of the trail. NIGHT LIGHTS shows have wowed crowds and attracted every demographic, especially families. They even have “groupiesâ€? who follow the shows around the region. To make it convenient, this spectacular light show will run three weekends: Sept. 23–26, Sept. 30–Oct. 3 and Oct. 7– Oct. 12. The trails will open at 7:30 p.m. and close at 9:30 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and will open at 7 p.m. and close at 10 p.m. on weekends. Tickets for adults are $10, $5 for children ages 7–12 and free for children ages 6 and under. Please note that NIGHT LIGHTS may be canceled due to heavy rain. Check www. grifďŹ spark.org, and NIGHT LIGHTS HQ and GrifďŹ s Sculpture Park Facebook pages for updates. Can’t make it for NIGHT LIGHTS? Then visit GrifďŹ s, the largest sculpture park in the U.S., during the daytime to marvel at more than 250 sculptures dotting the 300acre sculpture park, many in unusual and interesting places. The park is owned and operated by the Ashford Hollow Foundation, which also owns the Essex Arts Center in Buffalo, NY.

GV Board Dedicates Meeting to Krause By Colleen Mahoney
The Sept. 14 Great Valley Town Board meeting was dedicated to Hildegard Krause, supervisor clerk, for all her hard work and dedication to the town over the past 40 years. Supervisor Dan Brown said Krause has worked with four or ďŹ ve different supervisors over the years. He had a portrait of her commissioned. The portrait will hang on the town hall wall, in recognition of her service. After ďŹ elding complaints from local hunters, Brown explained that as of right now, hunting licenses cannot be obtained from the town hall. The equipment used by the town, which is provided from the state, requires a special printer. Currently, the town does not have access to the required printer, which is also being provided by the state. Town Clerk Toni Evans agreed to call State Senator Catharine Young’s ofďŹ ce to see what the holdup is.
Brown reported that the mining district is established and moving forward. The district will allow the town to have control over the industry within the town limits and stop expansion outside of the district. The town board will begin their budget work sessions on Oct. 5, and continue nightly until they have a town budget in place. Chris Schena, planning board chair, was not in
attendance for the meeting but Brown read his report. The proposal to erect a cell tower in the Town of Great Valley is still tabled. There has been no further communication from Verizon Wireless or Horvath Communications, which would erect the tower. The next Great Valley Town Board meeting will be held on Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. in the town hall.

CCIDA Approves Applications for HoliMont, 1887 Building By Jann Wiswall
MansďŹ eld Proposes Balanced 2016 Budget, Reduces Tax Rate
By Jann Wiswall
“This was one of the most difďŹ cult budgets I’ve ever had to draft,â€? said MansďŹ eld Supervisor Bob Keis before reviewing a proposed 2016 municipal budget with the town board at its meeting on Sept. 14. With ever stricter state limits on tax levy increases and a concerted effort to boost the highway department budget, Keis said he did the best he could within revenue projections “to make it work.â€? In the end, the board approved the tentative budget and scheduled a public hearing for the board’s Oct. 19 meeting. The town’s projected revenues for 2016 are $361,245 for the general fund (compared to $352,845
in 2015) and $794,628 for the highway department (compared to $966,927 in 2015 – which included FEMA monies). Projected expenses in each category are the same to balance the budget. It is difďŹ cult to compare the 2016 highway department expenses budget to the 2014 actual and 2015 projected budgets because FEMA monies were awarded for emergency road repairs in 2014-15 and ďŹ nal insurance reimbursements related to the 2012 highway barn ďŹ re were received in 2014. However, the board managed to add about $15,000 to the highway budget to cover salt cost increases and a one percent salary increase for department staff for 2016, by signiďŹ cantly reducing the highway machinery budget for the coming year. In addition, costs for state retirement are projected to be lower in 2016 than in the past few years. It is the board’s goal to continue to increase the highway department budget over the coming years in order
to keep up with the declining conditions of the roads and rising costs. Funds will be generated through property taxes on new construction, especially at HoliMont’s WestMont Ridge development, which is not progressing as quickly as the board had hoped. The proposed general fund expense budget is an increase of $8,000 over 2015, due primarily to increases in workers’ compensation and property insurance costs. The board did not budget raises for itself, the supervisor and some other non-highway employees for 2016. Since 2013, the tax rate per thousand dollars of assessed property value in MansďŹ eld has been $4.75. For 2016, the board proposes to reduce that ďŹ gure to $4.73 per thousand. The next meeting of the MansďŹ eld board will be held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 19 in the town hall. Residents who would like to comment on the proposed 2016 budget are invited to attend the public hearing that will be held at that meeting.
National Prescription Drug Take Back Day on Sept. 26 BCH is a designated drop-off site for unused, expired medicines Given the continued prevalence of drug abuse nationwide, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) national ofďŹ ce has re-started its drug disposal program. National Drug Take Back Day is set for Saturday, Sept. 26, 2015 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., and Bertrand Chaffee Hospital in Springville has been designated as a site for the collection of unwanted pharmaceuticals. Pharmacists and volunteers from D’Youville College
will be on-site to coordinate the collection of unused or expired medicines, and will be accompanied by the Erie County Sheriff’s Department. According to the DEA web site and the U.S. Department of Justice, pharmaceutical drugs can be just as dangerous as street drugs when taken without a prescription or a doctor’s supervision. The availability of unused or expired prescription medications has turned into a public safety issue, leading to accidental poisoning, overdose
and abuse. Proper disposal of unused drugs saves lives by keeping them out of the hands of children and teenagers, and protects the environment by keeping them out of the water supply. Mark your calendars and check your medicine cabinets for expired or unused pharmaceuticals. Permanent drug disposal boxes continue to be available throughout Erie County.
The board of directors of the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) approved applications for NYS Sales Tax Abatement from HoliMont, Inc. and 7 Washington Street, LLC, which is renovating the 1887 Building. HoliMont applied to the agency for abatement of sales taxes on the materials and supplies that are being or have been purchased for machinery and other upgrades, waterline replacements and other snow-making improvements, relocating the beginner lift, improving the lift hut, wetland improvements and phase 2 work at WestMont Ridge. The total project cost/investment comes to approximately $450,000. The board agreed that the project is consistent with CCIDA policies and IDA legislation and that the project will enhance and control overhead and operating costs of the resort. The project also will create construction employment, generate sales tax revenues and enhance the
property tax base. The owners of 7 Washington Street, LLC – Peter Krog and John Northrup – also applied to the CCIDA for sales tax abatement on materials and supplies purchased for the renovation of the 1887 building, which is being converted to condominiums. The $3.6 million project falls under the IDA’s Adaptive Reuse Policy. Again, the board felt the project met its policies and agreed that the project
Letter to the Editor
will result in several local construction jobs as well as up to ďŹ ve new employees to manage the building. The board and CCIDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor also agreed that the renovation will “restore/ preserve a key building in the Village of Ellicottville ‘footprint.’â€? The next meeting of the CCIDA board will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 11:15 a.m. at the CCIDA ofďŹ ces in Ellicottville.
This letter was received by the Town and Village of Ellicottville Boards of Trustees on Sept. 2, 2015 from Ellicottville Police OfďŹ cer Larry Spry. On Friday, August 28, 2015, OfďŹ cer Jim Bouchard responded to an unconscious male locked in his pickup truck on Washington Street near Madigans. OfďŹ cer Bouchard noticed the vehicle was still in gear with the male slumped over the wheel. He broke the window with his baton and got the truck safely in gear. He noticed that the individual in the vehicle had stopped breathing. He immediately got him out of the truck, laid him down in the street and began immediate life saving procedures. OfďŹ cer Bouchard with help from other individuals at the scene with their quick action got the individual resuscitated so he could be transported by Ellicottville ambulance to Bertrand Chaffee Hospital. The individual that OfďŹ cer Bouchard helped was Rodney Wagoner of Salamanca. On the following Tuesday, Mr. Wagoner succumbed to his medical condition. OfďŹ cer Bouchard’s fast actions gave Mr. Wagoner a possible chance at life but also gave the family the needed time to say their goodbyes. I would like to commend OfďŹ cer Bouchard on his swift response and professionalism. This ofďŹ cer is a great asset to the people he serves in the Town and Village of Ellicottville and we appreciate his loyalty to the police department that he serves. Thank you for your time.

Samila Sosic Painting Exhibit at EVL Memorial Library Samila Sosic of Bradford, PA is the featured artist at the Ellicottville Memorial Library during September and October. Samila is a Bosnian native, who moved to New York City in 1992 after graduating with a BS in Architecture from the University of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. She earned degrees in art from the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford and the Academy of Art in San Francisco, and is currently Assistant Professor of Art at University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Samila’s passion is to paint Pennsylvania’s landscapes and the farmlands woven into it. Her series, “Rural Beauty,â€? is about capturing the reection of lights on the structures of the rural farms. The concept of this series is to capture the diversity of farmlands and architectural structures enhanced by the weather, special light conditions, and seasonal change. Using these structures she fuses two different careers in her life; architecture and painting. Says Samila of her work, “I love Pennsylvania’s landscape and something that makes it even more adorable are the farmlands woven into it. Wherever I look, I see countless shades of green. Rolling hills of crops, rivers, and lakes all around create the perfect sceneries for paintings. This land is a lifetime supply of inspiration for an artist who

Make Reservations for Nature Center’s Enchanted Forest An evening of campfire, crafts, treats -- and a luminarylit trail with human-sized creatures who share stories about their lives. What could be more “enchanting”? All those experiences await you and the special young people in your life at the Audubon Nature Center’s Enchanted Forest on Friday and Saturday evenings, Oct. 2 and 3. The adventure begins with stories and songs at a backyard campfire. Then participants are escorted around a luminary trail by volunteer “fireflies” that light the way with lanterns. Human-sized animals tell about their lives, sharing fascinating, fun and educational information through dramatic and entertaining stories. The creatures along the trail this year will be Praying Mantis, Lightning Bug, Bat, Garter Snake, Monarch Butterfly, and Possum. They offer children and accompanying adults an opportunity to have a fun – but not scary – experience during the Halloween season. After about a 45-minute walk, there are refreshments and crafts inside, as well as a large animals cut-out photo op.. You can see a series of pictures from previous Enchanted Forests at www. audubonenchantedforest. wordpress.com. Click on “School Field Trips” there to watch a short video. School groups, including day care and home schoolers,
are invited to learn from Enchanted Forest creatures during Discovery Walks that can be scheduled between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 29-Thursday, Oct. 1, and then again the week of Halloween, Tuesday, Oct. 27-Friday, Oct. 30. For more information on these one-anda-half-hour Walks, to which you can add extra time for a building visit and lunch, go to www.audubonprograms. com/fieldtrips. If your school participates in BOCES Co-Ser 438.010, as many Chautauqua County schools do, your field trip may already be in the budget. Participants are reminded to dress for the weather. Long pants, long sleeve shirts, closetoed shoes and insect repellent are recommended. The program takes place rain or shine, and there are no refunds. Prepaid reservations are required to reserve a specific time slot from 6 p.m. through 8 p.m., with tours beginning every 10 minutes.

Living Donor Transplant Continued from front page
disease, McMahon made a decision earlier this year that not only gave Peters hope for an end to her ongoing health struggles, but that also brought her a greater appreciation for just how precious life is. It has now been a little over two months since Peters and McMahon, both teachers at Ellicottville Elementary School, went through a living donor liver transplant procedure, a surgical miracle in its own right, given that both adult women are recovering from the operations that brought Peters a new outlook on life and helped McMahon appreciate her own mortality. “As someone who was always fortunate to have good health, I think it is important to do what you can to assist someone else who does not have the ability to truly enjoy life because of some type of health problem,” says McMahon. “I did what I did because it was the right thing to do because someone I knew needed help. I really wouldn’t have it any other way.” Nearly 20 years of struggles Peters was diagnosed with a liver condition when she was 16 years old, receiving the news shortly after making a simple donation at a blood drive back when she was a student at ECS. What followed was a seemingly never-ending battle with numerous doctors’ appointments, evaluations by medical specialists and time at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester throughout the rest of high school and college. Peters never gave up her fight, but was constantly concerned about her longterm health status as medical experts struggled even to get a clear diagnosis of her disease. Eventually, it was diagnosed as primary sclerosing cholangitis, whose only known cure is liver transplantation. She had been on the waiting list for a cadaveric liver donation since 2012. “It was a real struggle for me, my family and friends,” said Peters. “I got frustrated, I had some real setbacks. You try and stay positive and keep holding out hope, but sure, there were times where I was greatly concerned about everything.” As time went on, Peters, a 1997 graduate of ECS, remained focused and persevered, moving forward with her career in education, eventually landing a job as a teacher at her alma mater. It was there that she met McMahon, a fellow educator who teaches special education in grades three through six. While colleagues, the two were never particularly close, which made what McMahon did all the more impressive. ‘I was blown away’ “Kelly had been asking me about how I was feeling and how things were going and it seemed to me that she was just like my other coworkers, someone who was showing compassion and asking questions and being supportive,” recalls Peters. “But one day in February she told me she had been doing research on living donor transplants and wanted to know what we needed to do to see if she might be a donor candidate. I was totally
Become an Organ Donor Did you know that: • Up to 25 different organs and tissues can be donated for transplantation after your death, including the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas and the small intestine. • Transplantable tissues include blood, blood vessels, bones, bone marrow, cartilage, connective tissues, eyes, heart valves and skin. • One person can save or enhance the lives of up to 50 other people through organ and tissue donation after their death. According to Unyts, the steps to becoming an organ donor after your death are simple, but involve more than just signing the back of your drivers’ license.

shocked and it really felt like it came out of the blue, but I later found out she had been giving it a lot of thought. I was blown away.” From there the two had batteries of tests and medical procedures, eventually leading to official approval in June by doctors at the Cleveland Clinic for McMahon to donate the right lobe of her healthy liver the following month. Through it all, Peters was greatly humbled and still struggles at times to comprehend how someone she saw in the hallways at work but didn’t know particularly well was so willing to make a sacrifice that would greatly impact her both personally and professionally. “It felt surreal as our surgery date approached that she was on board and, while I know she gave it a lot of thought and I know everyone who agrees to do this has some uncertainty about how exactly it will turn out, she still seemed to be quite at ease about the whole thing,” recalls Peters. “It just shows that you never really know a person until something like this takes place.” Until the transplant, Peters exhibited all the symptoms typical of liver disease, including constant itching and jaundice, which yellows the skin and the whites of the eyes. After the transplant on July 6, her liver function immediately started to improve. “A nurse came to see me the day I woke up after surgery and said my eyes were white again!” The transplant also gave her a new outlook after so many years of health issues and the devastating loss of her daughter, Amelia, who was born prematurely in 2010 and died due to complications from her mother’s disease. “I’m still recovering [from the surgery] and have been told by my doctor that I will need to stay on medical leave from work until at least January 2016, perhaps longer,” said Peters, who is home now but relies on her husband Mark and their eight-year-old son, Merek, to help her with various tasks around the house. “I still have a way to go, but I can say my life has totally changed and I now look at everything with a different perspective. What Kelly did for me has made me appreciate everything I have. Even with so many years of dealing with this, I am grateful for all that I have experienced in life and I am really looking forward to whatever is in store for me in the future.”
After going through her own recovery from the procedure, McMahon’s remaining liver is quickly regenerating and she is back working full-time at school, happy to see the familiar faces of so many people who supported her and Peters before, during and after the transplant. “I can’t mention everybody because I don’t want to forget anyone, but we had so many great supporters, including our co-workers, students and other people from the community,” said McMahon. “There were constant phone calls and e-mails and cards and we carried all along on a constant wave of support, love and unbelievable caring.” ‘Kelly is like a sister to me now’ Peters points out how close she and McMahon have become since their successful surgery. “Kelly is truly amazing,” she said. “It is so hard to put into words the gratitude you have for someone who risked her own health and her own life just so yours could be saved and improved. Kelly is like a sister to me now, we have become so close. She never wanted any fame or glory and believes that a true hero is someone who doesn’t receive any personal benefit for committing an act of kindness.” McMahon remains committed to the reason she offered to be Peters’ donor. “We all see and hear and read about people who have to struggle with something, many who are even much worse off than Tammy was before our surgery,” said McMahon. “I just felt so strongly about doing what I could to help and I am confident that there are other people out there who think and feel the same way and will know when to act when called upon to do so.” As for organ donation, Peters and McMahon both encourage people to learn about Unyts, a leading procurement organization in Buffalo that is one of only eight centers in the country to house organ, tissue and eye procurement in one location (www.unyts.org). Then, educate yourself about how you could potentially make a difference by giving the gift of life. “Find out if it is something you can do, and if you can, why not?” said McMahon. “When I told my husband I was thinking of doing this, that’s exactly what he told me. He said ‘if you can do it, you should do it.’ So I did, because it was the right thing to do.”

It’s hard to believe that six years have passed since my husband Doug and I began this adventure called raising alpacas, or as my car sticker more accurately states “raised by alpacas.” Many people come to visit and hear about what it’s like to take care of 20 or more alpacas on a daily basis. The main word is commitment. First thing every morning, we rake up alpaca beans, give fresh water and hay, again mid-day if possible, and in the evening. Our alpacas are family. I have thought of the time when we no longer have them, and I can’t imagine not seeing them out any window, walking, grazing, babies running and jumping, big boys showing off for each other. People ask about their temperament as they stand petting Aracellis. Coreena will watch, but don’t try to pet her! Some day perhaps. Each one is very unique. Some as babies come right up to me making their little hummy noises and get used to my touch right away. For others, it takes a bit longer, and it can be a lesson in patience. We raise alpacas for their wonderful fiber, most of which is processed into yarn that I sell in my shop or is knit locally into beautiful hats, scarves, fingerless gloves, mittens and socks. I’ll take a moment to name a few items we carry: socks, many different thicknesses and colors, hats, throws, alpaca pillows,

stuffies, bird nester orbs, raw fiber, natural color yarn and my hand-dyed yarn, alpaca outback hats,sweaters, capes and so much more. Shearing day begins several weeks in advance, getting the shearing area in the barn cleared, if rain is in the forecast that means more work, putting up temporary panels to keep them in the stables but that let the door ways open for fresh air. Also, it requires much more clean up inside the occupied stables for at least three days. Those who have purchased alpacas from us bring theirs here to be shorn, and they have been an immense help to us. The shearers arrive and get right to it. One alpaca goes in, one is led back to the pasture. In three plus hours, 24 are all done, looking strange to each
other and just funny to us. What a difference when 6 to 12 pounds of fleece is removed! In addition to running our alpaca farm and gift shop, we set up at several festivals and sportsmen shows throughout the year, spreading the word about the wonders of alpaca fiber in products and the alpacas themselves as a wonderful animal to raise. Well it’s time to run out and check on Pumpkin, our rather BIG mamma, who is way overdue. Pumpkin has given us four beautiful boys and one girl, can’t wait to see this year’s baby. Again we welcome your visits, please call 307-4582 first, for our hours that day and directions.
While you’re out enjoying the beautiful Autumn weather of Catt. Co., be sure to put us on your list of places to visit. 20 alpacas, all ages and colors live on our farm. Learn a bit about their history, daily routine of their care, wonders of their fleece and so much more! Our Gift Shop offers a wide variety of alpaca wear; socks, hats, mittens, scarves, glittens, throws, stuffed animals, felted soaps, bird nester balls. Many items are hand-knit from our alpacas fleece and handcrafted needlefelted creations, handdyed yarns and natural color yarns from our alpacas.
We look forward to your visit.

to cut, trim or remove brush, grass, rubbish and weeds.” The amended language, in summary, states that owners may be fined “not exceeding $250” if the brush, grass, rubbish and weeds and rank growth are found and removed by the Village. The fine will “constitute a lien and charge on the real property on which it is levied until paid…” The intent of the law is to manage overgrowth on properties that are vacant or poorly maintained. The second hearing was to allow comment regarding Local Law No. 2 of 2015, which allows public servants of the Village of Ellicottville to issue appearance tickets for violations of the above law and other state statutes, local laws, ordinances or rules and regulations they must enforce. It authorizes the Village building inspector, the Department of Public Works Superintendent and “any other person or persons so authorized by the Board of Trustees” to issue tickets. Both laws were approved by the Village Board and will take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State. The full language of both local laws may be reviewed by all residents at the Village Clerk’s office. The third public hearing was held to allow comment on the revised Village Comprehensive Plan of 2004. The revision had input from a committee including members of the Planning Board, the Village engineer, and others who recognized that: “…the Village has experienced some moderate changes to the community including the character, economy and overall demographics. As the Village has seen significant residential and commercial development occur in the last decade, it has also seen a decline in the industrial businesses that were key pieces of the local economy. While the existing Comprehensive Plan did not need an extensive overhaul, there were certain sections that needed to be updated to reflect existing conditions and guide future decisions that protect the Village’s character and economic health.” The board approved the revised comprehensive plan, which will go into effect
for the 2016 edition.

immediately. It is available for public review at the village clerk’s office. Privilege of the Floor Jack Rogan, a resident of Madison Street in the Village, brought up with the board his ongoing struggle with dirty water in his home, as evidenced by a water sample and filter he showed to the board. The village has been trying to address the issue – which is not confined to the Rogan home – for more than two years. As a next step, Village Mayor Charlie Coolidge asked the Department of Public Works to flush the village fire hydrants immediately and regularly, and to then take a water sample from Rogan’s home to the county health department for analysis. On Monday, Sept. 21, all hydrants will be flushed. Please be advised that this may cause some temporary discoloration of the water coming from your taps. Department Reports Village Engineer Mike Smith reported that he has submitted a grant application to the state for $2.8 million to help offset the costs of the new wastewater treatment plant that is currently under construction. The $ 5.7 million in plant improvements were required under a state consent order. Smith said that the preconstruction meeting on Sept. 10 with contractors and project managers was productive and scheduled work is under way. The first invoice from STC Construction, the project’s contractor, in the amount of $212,528.75 was approved for payment. Smith also reported that Sprague Development, which is preparing lots for a singlefamily housing development on the west side of Fillmore Drive, asked for an ok to begin installing sidewalks along Fillmore. Smith is concerned that, because the Glendale Development is being developed on the east side of Fillmore, heavy equipment would damage any sidewalks installed this year. He recommended that the project be delayed until spring 2016. Department of Public Works Chief Harold Morton reported that only one bid had been received in response to a request

More than 20 volunteers for contractors to replace the Village Park stadium’s roof. ages five and older will Chris Woodarek, who bid model outfits from TJ Maxx $18,000 for the project, was awarded the contract.

Adventure Bound Continued from front page
The store will be sponsoring demonstrations on a nearby lake for beginners and experts alike to ‘test the waters’ with different styles, and may also provide rentals. Of course, Adventure Bound onthefly will be a full-service outdoor store with a wide range of quality equipment and clever gadgets for everyone interested in the outdoor lifestyle. Brands include: Yakima roof racks; Osprey backpacks and luggage; Swiss Army knives and Victorinox watches; Nite-Ize lighting and lifestyle devices (described by Rounds as “way cool stuff”); YakAttack fishing gear; MSR backcountry stoves and tents; Bison coolers; Ruffwear performance dog equipment; and more. There will also be a children’s department with technical clothing and actioninspiring toys. Rounds points out that 85 percent of the brands he’ll carry in his store do not exist elsewhere in town. “They’re unique to the area, so we’re not competing directly with other Ellicottville shops.” Of the utmost importance to Rounds is having in-store expertise and superior customer service, and he has found that in a long-time friend and colleague, Stephen Wilkinson, who is moving from Michigan to manage the store. Wilkinson has 25 years experience in the outdoor equipment business
and is the perfect person for the job, Rounds says. Wilkinson’s wife also will work with the company “behind the scenes.” “Our attention to customer service will always be ‘live’ in the store,” says Rounds. His wife Christy also will work there when they’re in town for big weekends and events, and he’ll be looking for additional staff with particular outdoor expertise in the near future. Adventure Bound will be sharing space with Ellicottville’s The Boardroom snowboard shop, which will open its second EVL location on the lower level of the Adventure Bound space. It will be open during the winter season only, giving each the opportunity to showcase their products in the unique, hightraffic setting at the center of the village. So why did Rounds choose Ellicottville for this undertaking? “Of course, I grew up here, so it’s home. Plus there’s the family history. But I’ve traveled all over the world and there just aren’t a lot of places like Ellicottville,” Rounds said. From a business perspective, “it’s near a lot of bigger cities and it draws people from all over the east coast, Midwest and Canada, not to mention farther afield, so it’s a great place to introduce a new sport and business.” And, he added, the space was going to be rented sooner or later (the building is owned by Rounds’ mother Heidi Widger), and likely would have been divided into several storefronts. “My business perfectly fits the space as it is, so it just seemed like an appealing opportunity that I might never have again.” Adventure Bound expects to be open in time for Fall Festival weekend.

Pelleve Treatment Before & After
For the Birds Program at LV Library Sept. 24 The Memorial Library of Little Valley will be hosting The Roger Tory Peterson Institute’s program based on the children’s book For the Birds, the Life of Roger Tory Peterson. Peterson, a Jamestown historical figure, is most famous for writing and illustrating A Field Guide to Birds. The 40 minute presentation has three components: Items representing Peterson’s life alongside his biography help participants learn about him as he developed into a naturalist, ornithologist, artist, environmentalist and author. Using a Peterson Field Guide, the presenter describes the Peterson System, the method of nature identification for which he is known. Attendants practice using the Peterson System by
participating in a game based on Jeopardy that challenges them to identify various birds. The program will be held in the Library’s Community Room on Thursday, Sept. 24, at 6:30 p.m. It is open to children and adults ages 8 and up. Please call the library at
938-6301 to register. The library is open Monday and Tuesday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 6-8 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to noon. It is closed Sundays and legal holidays.
are a burden on local fire and police departments. In order to do so, the law will require property owners to obtain annual permits for their alarm systems and to keep them in good working order. It also will assess fees for false alarms. Burrell and the board thanked fellow board member Rick Jackson and his wife, Glenda, for their work to research and draft the law with town attorney Kathleen Moriarty. Town Supervisor John Burrell reported that most department heads have submitted their budget requests for 2016. Once all are in, the board will begin preparing a draft town budget. Burrell also reported that Ellicottville’s Town Planner Carol Horowitz is retiring effective December 31. Burrell has asked her and other for recommendations for a replacement. Police Officer Jim Bouchard will soon be receiving a special life-saving ribbon from Police Officer in Charge Don Auge. Burrell explained that Bouchard discovered a person who was not breathing in a locked and stopped car that was still in gear on Washington Street in the Village. After breaking the window and putting the car in gear, Bouchard pulled the male driver to the ground and immediately started CPR. A U.S. Marshall’s officer and a nurse quickly came to Bouchard’s aid, as did several EMTs and a crew with an ambulance. The patient was revived and taken to Bertrand Chafee Hospital.
Sadly, the patient, Rodney Wagoner of Salamanca, died the following Tuesday at Buffalo General Hospital. However, Bouchard and the others who assisted “gave the patient a chance,” Burrell said. (See Letter to the Editor, page 6.) Department Reports Highway Department Superintendent Loyd Hovey briefed the board on an asphalt milling machine being considered for purchase by the department following a demonstration from the manufacturer. The “Asphalt Zipper” is “impressive,” Hovey said. Burrell said that currently the department has to lease equipment for milling work. If the town had this equipment, “it probably would pay for itself just in the rental savings,” he suggested. The equipment is available for purchase on a five-year payment plan. Depending on what size machine was purchased, payments would be $20-$25K per year. The board will consider the purchase during the budget process. Hovey asked the board for authorization to hire Tammie Doutt as a full-time employee of the Highway Department. Doutt had been a seasonal employee. The board approved the request effective November 1 at her current rate of pay. At last month’s meeting, Hovey told the board that a resident had asked about placing “Children at Play” signs on a portion of Poverty Hill Road in an effort to slow traffic. At the time, the board said Hovey could install the
signs if the resident paid for them. The resident agreed to do so. Since then, however, Hovey has discussed the matter with the county sign shop manager and other highway sign experts who advise that such cautionary signs rarely have the intended effect of slowing speeders and that they can actually do more harm than good by giving children and parents a false sense of security. The board discussed the issue and suggested that perhaps other types of traffic calming signs, such as yellow curve-ahead warning signs, etc. might have an impact. Hovey is going to research the best options. Town Engineer Mark Alianello reported that progress is in high gear on the Holiday Valley Road realignment project. The road in front of the Tamarack Club and the Lodge is now one-lane as workers begin the final phases of construction. Eventually that road will be closed to vehicle traffic altogether. Behind the scenes, work is equally feverish, he said, as final paperwork is prepared for the new road’s legal dedication by Holiday Valley to the Town and abandonment of the old section of Holiday Valley Road as a town road. A ribbon cutting for the new road and formal dedication is being planned for Tuesday, Oct. 6. Further details are to come. Alianello also reported National Fuel is replace gas lines under Upper Road. This will delay the highway department’s plans for road repairs there.
