It’s a Brand New School Year! If you’re a kid, you have just experienced your first day of kindergarten, your first day of middle school or high school or your first day at ECS as a new student. Or, perhaps, you’ve made your first new best friend of the year or joined your first team or school activity. If you’re a parent, you remember these moments; they were usually mixed with excitement and maybe some anxiety. And there’s still a little of both as you watch your children grow and learn and deal with the unexpected and do important things under someone else’s eye. As ECS’s official weekly newspaper, the Ellicottville Times is committed to keeping you up-to-date on school activities, sports, events, advisories, notices and news every week. Turn to page 4 for all things ECS. Here you’ll find some regular features, such as a calendar of activities and a sports roundup by contributor Todd Palmatier, who serves as vice president of the Ellicottville Sports Boosters. You’ll also find a story about what the Boosters do for the school and how you can get involved, as well as a list of school-sponsored health screenings that will be administered this year, provided by school nurse Kimberly Watt. The paper also regularly covers the school’s board of education meetings to keep you informed about administrative actions that impact you and your children. We hope you’ll turn to the Ellicottville Times every week as your source of information about your school. We welcome suggestions about what additional kinds of information you’d like to see.

Made in US/Canada Shop Opening in EVL Liz Boberg always had “this dream in my mind of opening a business of my own.” Armed with an associate’s degree in business and a bachelor’s degree in fine art, Boberg is now venturing into the small business world. Opening this weekend, Ameri-Can is Boberg’s dream coming true. The shop, which specializes in U.S. and Canadian-made clothing, antiques and artwork, will officially open its doors Labor Day weekend. Initially, the shop will sell women’s and men’s streetwear, but it will eventually include children’s clothing as well. Boberg, who worked at The Red Door for 27 years, knows the retail clothing business well. Jackets, coats and separates will be sold in the shop, as well as accessories and a “mix of everything.”

Primary Elections THURSDAY, Sept. 10 By Jann Wiswall
Elections on a Thursday? Yes. This year, because the Jewish holiday Yom Kippur falls on the second Tuesday of September, primary election day was rescheduled in Cattaraugus County for Thursday, September 10. Voters who are registered with the Democratic or Republican political parties,
ONLY, may participate in this year’s primary elections. Registered Democrats throughout the county are encouraged to participate in the primary election for County Clerk. Alan Bernstein and Brittany N. Melfi, both of Olean, are running for the seat. Please remember that the county has reduced the number of its legislative districts from
21 to 17. The change goes into effect on January 1, 2016. As a result, those voting in the primary and the general election in November will be voting for candidates in their NEW legislative districts. Registered Republicans in new Legislative District 1, which includes the towns of Dayton, New Albion, Otto, See Primary Elections page 9
It may still be summer, but Ellicottville’s biggest festival of the year is just around the corner and it’s not too soon to make your plans to spend the weekend and enjoy everything the area has to offer. Fall Festival 2015 officially occurs Oct. 10-11, but there’s so much to do in the region, you’ll want to make plans to arrive early and stay late! The festival, sponsored by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, attracts tens of thousands of people every year to enjoy two full days of arts, crafts, carnival rides, live entertainment, boutique shopping, terrific food and an enthusiastic celebration of the season.

The Rotary Club of Ellicottville’s Tuscan Moon this past Saturday was a tremendous success. Once again the weather was great and, oh, what a moon that night. The Italian menu with 19 stations was outstanding according to most guests surveyed and this year’s music by Michael Nugent was a hit. Once again the dessert table was over the top with a two tier Tiramisu surrounded by Watson’s Chocolates the crowning jewel. The Rotary Club would like to thank all of those who attended as well as the local merchants who always support this event with generous donations. Thanks to the 20 ECS students and the Holiday Valley staff that worked so hard at the event. Of course we want to send a special thank you to all of the area Restaurants that made those outstanding specialties for all to enjoy and John Harvard’s and Holiday Valley who make it all possible. Last but not least, thanks to the friends of Rotary who dedicate their time to make this event run as smooth as possible. Tuscan Moon provides the funds needed to support the projects for Family Support and the Foundation for Youth throughout the year. We will release the revenue information once the accounting is done. Thank you Ellicottville!

Ellicottville Central School’s nurse Kimberly Watt has sent a letter to parents reminding them about the health screenings children will receive during the 2015-16 academic year. As she stated in her letter, “the district’s School Health Services program supports your student’s academic success by promoting health in the school setting. One way that we provide care for your student is by performing the health screenings as mandated by the State of New York.” The following screenings will be required or completed at school: Vision - Distance acuity for all newly entering students
and students in Kindergarten, Grades 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10. Near vision acuity and color perception screening for all newly entering students. Hearing - Hearing screening for all newly entering students and students in Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grades 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10. Scoliosis - Scoliosis (spinal curvature) screening for all students in Grades 5 – 9. Health Appraisals - A physical examination including Body Mass Index and Weight Status Category Information is required for all newly entering students and students in PreKindergarten or Kindergarten, Grades 2, 4, 7 and 10.
Dental Certificates A dental certificate is requested for all newly entering students and students in Kindergarten, Grades 2, 4, 7 and 10. Watt says that a letter will be sent home if there are any findings on screenings done at school that would cause concern or need medical follow-up. Please call the school’s health office if you have any questions or concerns. School Nurse: Kimberly Watt, RN Phone: 699-2318 x 604; Fax: 699-5635 Email: kwatt@eville. wnyric.org

With the autumn season right around the corner, many start to think about their favorite fall activities. For those involved with the Ellicottville Central School Sports Boosters, it means preparing for the upcoming ECS athletic events. The ECS Sports Boosters’ main function is to develop support for the student body and raise funds to supplement athletic budgets. It is run by and organized by a board consisting of parents, teachers and athletics fans in the community. “Last year was a big year for our Boosters program; we achieved 501(c)(3) status, which means we are a tax-exempt nonprofit organization,” said Boosters President Debbie Golley. “Another notable achievement was the purchase, in conjunction with the Ellicottville Little Eagles, of a new sound system for the press box.”
This year’s other board members are Vice President Todd Palmatier, Treasurer Kevin Watt, Secretary Shana Chudy and “at large” members Karl Schwartz and Bob Adams. There is a range of activities that the ECS Sports Boosters are involved in, Golley tells us. “We run concession stands and fundraisers, help with athletic camps and purchase items for teams and the school.” Also funded by the Boosters are the three Sports Banquets held at the end of each season. Plus, “each year the ECS Sports Boosters gives out two scholarships that are awarded to one female and one male athlete,” Golley said. ECS Sports Boosters now has a Facebook page that is visited by students, parents and community members. Four different photographers (Golley, Debbie Grinols, John Karassik and Christy Wiser) cover most of the sports events and post pictures. “Recently
we had more than 700 people who have liked and followed our page, which is a huge accomplishment for a small town booster group.” Parent involvement is a large part of what keeps the Boosters going. New volunteers are always needed and parents are encouraged to participate. “It keeps them [parents] involved and that helps our kids.” If you would like to get involved, you can go to any Boosters meeting on the third Monday of each month, at 7 p.m., in the High School cafeteria. If you can’t attend, you can send an email to ellicottvillesportsboosters@ gmail.com to get on its email list or talk to any board member. “We are constantly trying to increase school spirit and ECS pride with banners, events, supporting camps and our Facebook page,” says Golley. So get out there, get involved and cheer the Eagles to victory!
EAGLES Sports Roundup By Todd Palmatier
The Ellicottville Little Eagles continued their winning ways last Friday over the Franklinville Panthers. The Pee Wee Eagles won 25-7 behind the twin duo of Braylon and Caedon Wyatt. Caedon rushed for two touchdowns; one was more than 35 yards. Reece Benjamin had a rushing touchdown and Hunter Smith had a 25-yard pick-six to
close out the scoring for the Eagles. Kyle Stover had the lone Panther touchdown. The Eagles are now 2-0 and take on the Springville Griffins Friday, Sept. 4 in Springville at 6:30 p.m. The Midget Eagles also beat the Franklinville Panthers 32-7 last Friday. Jordan Grinols led with three touchdowns on the night. Clayton Rowland and Logan Grinols tallied
touchdowns of more than 35 yards each to help the Eagles to victory. The Panthers lone touchdown was run in by Tyler Clear. The Midget Eagles take on the Springville Griffins immediately following the Pee Wee game on Friday night. Stay tuned to the Ellicottville Times for all your ECS sports news all year long.

5 Fab Things to Do In the Next 5 Weeks
By Alicia Dziak
Just a short drive north of Ellicottville awaits Springville, overowing with loads of activities planned for late summer and early fall. If you haven’t been there in a while, it’s the perfect time to go, with something for everyone. For the music lover, don’t miss 10 String Symphony, presented by the Springville Center for the Arts, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. The Nashvillebased 10 String Symphony is a blend of the two distinct, but equally vivacious, musical voices of Rachel Baiman and Christian Sedelmyer, whose vocal duets often take center stage despite the fact that they are self-described ďŹ ddle players. Decidedly contemporary in their musical approach, their debut album showcases Sedelmyer’s virtuosic improvisation and creative harmonic soundscape ideas alongside Baiman’s oldtime rhythm and emotional melodic sensibilities. Tickets are $12 pre-sale or $15 at the door. For more information, or
to purchase tickets, visit www. springvillearts.org. For the beer lover, check out the Oktoberfest celebration, happening Sept. 26, from 2 to 11 p.m. at Fireman’s Park, 70 Nason Blvd, off Waverly Street. Enjoy fun, food, music by the Springville Jazz Band and Joe Wagner and The Frankfurters, a beer hall featuring a selection of German food and craft beers, contests and ďŹ reworks. In addition, check out the Southtowns German Car and Motorcycle Show from 2 to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.springvillechamber. com. For the runner, walker or just plain fun seeker, check out Springville’s very own Color Run on Saturday, Oct. 3. The Springville Elementary School PTA is partnering with Schoolathon.org to bring an entertaining and exciting 3K/5K race to town that involves runners being blasted with food-grade, nontoxic packets of color along the course. Choose between a 3K or 5K route with two
color/water stations along the way, where participants can hydrate and observers can purchase color packs to blast on the registrants. $30 covers race entry, a t-shirt and color pack. Sign up at http://shop. schoolathon.org/EventIndex. asp?EID=181364. For the chance taker, how about a super-cool, virtual horse racing fundraiser? Try your luck at A Night at the Derby fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 6 to 10:30 p.m. at St. Aloysius Parish Hall, 190 Franklin Street in Springville. Nine different races will be projected on a video projection system to give everyone the feeling that they are at the derby, and prizes are determined by the number of participants and how many rafe tickets are purchased for each horse. Proceeds beneďŹ t Springville Youth Inc. (SYI), a not-for-proďŹ t organization that provides recreation services for the residents of the Town of Concord and Village of Springville. Tickets are $20 each; beer, pop and pizza are included. For more information, visit www. syionline.org. For the bargain shopper, Gentner’s Springville Auction is open every Wednesday, year-round. Browse the vendor booths for farm-fresh produce, owers and almost anything you can imagine in the ea market section—the auction is never the same experience twice! For more information, visit www. gentnerspringvilleauction.com. However you like to spend the days as summer turns to fall, you’ll ďŹ nd something unique to do in Springville. Take some time to explore this small town with big-time fun!

Pelleve Treatment Before & After

The Boardroom to Open Second EVL Location The Boardroom Snowboard Shop is proud to announce the opening of a second storefront at 16 Washington Street in Ellicottville, aptly named “The Boardroom on Main.” Loyal fans and customers of The Boardroom will be able to expect the same level of product quality, customer service and snowboard-centric good vibes as the original location at 6113 Route 219. The Timkeys partnered with John Rounds, who will be opening his own outdoor- and lifestyle-themed shop called “Adventure Bound on the fly.” Rounds, whose parents owned the original Adventure Bound at the same location in the 1970s, approached The Boardroom’s Mike Timkey (who worked for John’s parents) to discuss a potential partnership. Adventure Bound on the fly will occupy the main floor of the building, while The Boardroom on Main will reside on the lower floor. Renovations on the building began last week, with both businesses expecting to open their doors
by Ellicottville’s Fall Festival Columbus Day Weekend. “We are incredibly excited to explore this new endeavor,” Boardroom owner Mike Timkey said. “Knowing John and his family made it easy for us to discuss his offer further, and I have a personal connection to the Adventure Bound name — I worked there before I started my own shop. The town of Ellicottville is only growing, and this is an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.”
The Boardroom on Main will offer all of the awesome brands the original location offers, including Lib Tech, Burton, GoPro, Oakley, Stance Socks, Smith, Giro, Salomon Snowboarding, Union Bindings, SP Gadgets, Sims Snowboards, Outdoor Tech, GNU, Roxy, Never Summer, Under Armour, Volcom, Celtek and Dakine.

Sometimes we’re so busy with our everyday lives, we forget to look after ourselves, especially when it comes to managing our health. Taking charge of your health is something you can do at any age, and can be as easy as starting your day off with a glass of water. In fact, drinking two glasses of water increased metabolism by 30% after 3040 minutes, according to a 2003 study from The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. Water first thing in the morning helps rehydrate you and flushes out toxins, leaving you feeling refreshed and energized to tackle the day ahead. With time a precious commodity for all of us, regaining control of your
health has never been more important. Luckily, there are easy ways to monitor your health, leaving you free to enjoy and embrace life, and much of the work you can do starts at home. “People can easily make small adjustments that make a really big difference to their health,” explains Rose Gallagher, head of Standards, Knowledge and Innovation at the Royal College of Nursing. “For instance, incorporating moderate exercise into your daily routine can reap countless benefits, even if it’s something as simple as walking part of the way to work.” Adding moderate exercise into your daily life is not only good for mind and body, it can also be a great way to socialize and see friends. “Choose an exercise that you enjoy. If it helps, exercise with a friend or listen to music,” advises Dr. Imran Rafi, chair of the Clinical Innovation and Research Centre at the Royal College of General Practitioners in England. “Even moderate exercise has many benefits including helping you sleep better, boosting your energy and improving your mental, as well as physical, well-being. If you’re trying to reach a healthy weight, exercise will help. The best approach is to start slowly and build up.”
Walking, swimming, dancing, strength training and yoga are all good ways to get moving and improve strength, stamina and flexibility. A recent National Public Radio poll found that half of all Americans surveyed say they exercise regularly, with walking being the most popular form of exercise undertaken a few times a week (a third of those surveyed said they walked every day). And you know what? Turns out that’s plenty. “Too many people think you have to exercise really, really hard to get a benefit, and nothing could be further from the truth,” Dr. Tim Church told NPR. Church, who studies the effects of physical activity at Louisiana State University’s Pennington Biomedical Research Center, has found that “you’re actually getting, probably, 95 percent or more of the benefits when you’re walking as compared to jogging.” According to Church, even a little bit of physical activity can help reduce belly fat linked to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. So drink a couple of glasses of water, take a nice long walk and get your day – every day – off to a good, healthy start.
Is it Too Soon to Think About New Skis? By Dave Potter
Editor’s note: Some skiers spend the off-season planning for the next season. Our friend and colleague Dave Potter is one of those. Sure, he stays busy year-round, but he never really stops thinking about the next chairlift ride to the top of the mountain. So it was no surprise that he is already shopping for this year’s new pair of skis. Here’s what he’s thinking. I don’t remember much about my first pair of skis. I was very young and more concerned about how to get down the hill without killing myself than who manufactured my instruments of destruction. The first pair I do remember the brand and model of is a pair of black Head JR 60s. I thought they were cool because they were made of metal and the bases were made of the same material as bowling balls. As I grew older into my teens and beyond came pairs of Harts, the infamous Chess series — not the Freestyles I coveted. Then came my racing Rossignol STs. Oh, Rossi STs, in their various forms, are in some ways still my all-time favorites. After college came a short love affair with Hexcels. Remember those? They were made of hollow aluminum
honeycomb. I broke three pairs. After that misadventure came my introduction to shaped skis with a pair of Elans that my father-in-law talked me into. I liked him better than the skis. After that came Volkls. They were great, but I started to crave something different … something that you didn’t see on the slopes, which led me to Stockli. Rossignol sells more skis in a month than what this small Swiss firm sells in a year. I loved the performance of my Stocklis, but as I raved about them, I started noticing more of them on the hill. Now, I’m once again looking for great skis that not everyone has or has even heard of, for that matter. A quick internet search led me to such names as Wagner Custom Skis, Caravan Skis, ON3P Skis, Deviation, Igneous and more. What these brands all have in common is
that they are made by skiers for skiers in ski country, like New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine and Utah, to name a few of the “locals.” These companies make skis for all conditions — all mountain, powder, terrain parks and even Eastern hard pack. They are all handmade and for high performance. If you’re looking for bargain basement prices, these are not for you, but I was pleasantly surprised at the pricing. These skis were not out of line with more known high-performance ski brands. The lowest price I saw was $850. As the prices go up, so do your options. Some companies allow you to design your whole ski, including your own top and bottom graphics, camber profile and materials. You can even choose the sidecut. My personal favorites are the manufacturers that let you choose a wood veneer for the top sheet. They have a long list of species and colors to choose from. So, if you’re like me and want some unique skis, there are plenty of options out there. And, yes, my next pair is coming from one of these specialty firms. And, no, I’m not telling anyone ahead of time. I want to be the first kid on the block to have a pair.

New Cycling Event Hits EVL Oct. 2–4 By Eva Potter
If you missed Cycling Weekend at Holiday Valley in June, you have another chance to enjoy a fun cycling weekend on the ďŹ rst-ever KindRider Road Trip, Oct. 2–4. The three-day guided tour, sponsored by KindHuman Bicycles, will take cyclists around the scenic EVL area to tackle the hilly terrain and enjoy the gorgeous views. The KindHuman idea began in 2007 when Adam Abramowicz noticed a gap in the cycling community for riders interested in learning and improving. In response, Abramowicz started a cycling team with the intent to bridge that gap between hardcore racing veterans and the new riders that wanted to learn from them. A few years later, Gavin Brauer teamed up with him to form KindHuman Bicycles, an Ontario-based company that designs and markets performance cycling products through an innovative directto-rider business model. Brauer, co-founder and operating leader, explained that KindHuman is not just a bike company. It is a vehicle to make cycling more accessible to all people and to empower cyclists everywhere to help grow cycling in their communities. Their bikes can be custom built to ďŹ t each rider’s performance, body and budget. Brauer said he was ďŹ rst introduced to Ellicottville more than a decade ago by his wife, Erin, who has been skiing here since she was a child. As they began spending more time here during summer and fall, Brauer discovered the fantastic cycling the area has to offer. “The KindRider event started as a cycling trip we wanted to take ourselves,â€?

he said. “Ellicottville is a four-season playground with spectacular riding, especially when the fall colors are on display. It is a very special place for me and my family ‌ a hidden gem that we want to share with other cyclists.â€? Brauer explained that KindHuman wanted to host a fun weekend of riding – “an excuse to get away for a few days and enjoy quiet roads, a beautiful environment and hopefully make a few new friends along the way.â€? Because they also needed a destination that would accommodate non-riding family members who wanted to tag along, Ellicottville quickly rose to the top. “We’re so pleased that this group from Canada has discovered the great road riding around Ellicottville,â€? said Jane Eshbaugh, marketing director at Holiday Valley. There are no age limitations or skill level requirements to participate, and KindRider encourages young riders to join in, provided they have some riding experience and permission slips from their
parents/guardians. Of course, a bike, water bottles and helmet are must-haves. One to three KindHuman Bicycles team members will guide each ride. This is not a timed event or race, and SAG support and a “no rider left behindâ€? policy ensures no one is left alone on the route in case riding becomes too difďŹ cult. “If you’re new to cycling, this would be a great opportunity for you to meet some likeminded riders and learn a thing or two while enjoying all that Ellicottville has to offer,â€? said Brauer. Cyclists can choose from two riding categories. More competitive riders can test their mettle on 40–50 mile rides with an average pace above 18 mph. Recreational rides will be 25–40 miles each with an average pace under 18 mph. The weekend event costs $99 per person and covers entry, the three days of guided tours and SAG support. (All non-Ontario Cycling Association members are required to pay a one-time license fee of $39.) Book your ride by calling 1-800-9225463, ext. 3, emailing gavin@ kindhuman.cc or by visiting www.kindhuman.cc. To make the weekend even better, take advantage of special group rates by mentioning KindHuman Bicycles when making your room reservations at Holiday Valley’s Tamarack Club. Just call (716) 699-7000. The KindRider event is a great way to try KindHuman demo bikes and learn more about cycling from fellow cyclists. In addition, tour guides and staffers will be available to help with topics like training, nutrition and bicycle maintenance.
Golfers get an added bonus over this Labor Day weekend, Sept. 4-7, at Holiday Valley Resort’s Double Black Diamond Golf course. Not only can they golf at one of Western New York’s most challenging and scenic courses, but when they pay $64 for 18 holes and
a cart, they can play all day for no additional charge. Tee times are available by calling (716) 699-3939. In addition, golfers will be able to pick up great bargains in the Holiday Valley Golf Shop. The fun doesn’t stop at the 18th hole! The newly
completed poolside Cabana Bar offers a wide assortment of after-golf refreshments and snacks along with fun deck games. Guests can ďŹ nish up the summer with one last session at the Holiday Valley pool complex, open through Sept. 7.

times 16! In addition, lessons are included, and let’s face it— even experienced skiers can ďŹ nd room to improve. While advisor credit incentives apply for groups of 10 or more, there is no minimum participant requirement to start a ski club.
“Just get a group together and contact us to get started for a winter full of adventure!� said Kristen Sciara, Holiday Valley’s assistant marketing director, who also assists with the resort’s ski clubs. Besides creating loads of winter memories with your
friends and family, Sciara adds that club members receive special rates on season passes and other ultimate passes. Rental packages are also available for members, who get “one-stop shopping� to ensure the get in and out onto the slopes in no time at all! “Holiday Valley makes it so easy to form a ski club,� said Hannes Dziak, advisor for Springville Youth Inc.’s ski club. “It’s such a great deal for anyone who loves to ski, and it’s great to have time set aside each week to ski with the same group of family and friends.� If you’re thinking of starting a ski club, now is the perfect time. Holiday Valley will host its annual Ski Club Advisor Kickoff Party next Friday, Sept. 11.

About an hour’s drive from Ellicottville lies the town of East Aurora, famous for its picturesque, small-town setting and unique Roycroft style. The Roycroft style was founded by Elbert Hubbard in 1895 during the Arts and Crafts movement of that era. It features traditional craftsmanship using simple forms with romantic, folk or medieval styles of decoration. Today, artisans carry on the Roycroft tradition in the decorative and fine arts. For an insider look at the artisans who make up the Roycroft community, West Seneca native Joe Kirchmyer has recently written Head, Heart & Hands: Continuing the Handcrafted Tradition of the Original Roycroft Artisans, officially released during the Roycroft Summer Festival in June. According to Kirchmyer, the 136-page book “profiles nearly 50 current Roycroft Master Artisans who carry on the now famous Roycroft tradition ... The profiles examine the lives of these talented artists who
open up about their training, inspirations, travel, goals, proudest moments, relationship to the Roycroft community and much more.” “I’ve been writing artist profiles for the Roycrofters-AtLarge Association’s newsletter for the past three years or so, and they have been very well received,” Kirchmyer explained. “The Association approached me with the idea about the book, and I jumped at the opportunity. These artists have very inspiring stories to tell, and I am humbled to be the middleman between artist and reader.”
Kirchmyer noted that this current book is the third he’s written in the past six years, following a 20-year career in the creative services department of a major newspaper. “My first book was Diamonds in the Rough, a compilation of short sports and inspirational stories,” he said. “My second was Most Likely to Survive, which detailed the remarkable recovery of West Seneca native Matthew Faulkner from a lifethreatening traumatic brain injury. Matt was involved in a near fatal car accident just weeks before his high school graduation and spent several weeks in a coma at ECMC. His recovery has been nothing short of a miracle.” Kirchmyer is enthusiastic about the newest addition to his credits. “Each profile is very different and tells an incredible story. The passion of these artists is truly second to none. The book is inspiring, historic and fun ... well, at least in my humble opinion!” The title, published by No Frills Buffalo, retails for $17.95 and is currently available at The Bookworm and Vidler’s 5 & 10 in East Aurora, at the East Aurora Chamber of Commerce, and at Enjoy the Journey Art Gallery in West Seneca, as well as online sites such as Amazon. com, and through the No Frills Buffalo website. Better yet, you can meet Joe in person as he signs copies of the books at The Bookworm on Saturday, Sept. 19, from 1 to 3 p.m.
Pumpkinville Opens Sept. 12
Rumourz Continued from front page
Ellicottville’s Mainstage at 1 p.m. with Fleetwood Mac’s biggest hits, including some of Stevie Nicks’ solo songs. “We put everything we have into our performances,” said Stacey Givan, vocalist and keyboardist, “and we’re really excited to bring that energy to Ellicottville.” Rumourz has been performing throughout the region since 2013; however, the band members have played together for many years. Givan and Matt Hake, vocalist and guitarist, have been friends since high school and performed together for several years. Before forming Rumourz, Givan and Hake performed together in a classic rock band for four years. “The crowd really liked our Fleetwood Mac covers, so one night we did a whole night of Fleetwood Mac,” explained Givan. “The response was awesome, and it soon snowballed into several Fleetwood Mac nights!” Bassist and vocalist Mario Nobilio, also a friend of Givan’s since high school, joined Givan and Hake, along with drummer and vocalist Ryan Gaines, who performed with Givan and Hake in other bands over the years. Rumourz’s passion for Fleetwood Mac’s music is evident throughout their performances, which convey the original band’s distinct emotional lyrics. Although it is difficult for Givan to name a favorite Fleetwood Mac song, “Dreams” strikes her as a most memorable and beloved one. “I first discovered Fleetwood Mac in middle school when I found one of their albums in the band room,” said Givan, who has been in love with the music ever since. “Fleetwood Mac’s music is very emotionbased,” she explained. “We try
to bring that to the music when we play it.” All four of the band’s members contribute to the three and four part harmonies of the music, while putting an “up tempo” twist on some of Fleetwood Mac’s mellower songs, thus creating a more danceable performance. Clearly, their audiences are loving it! In January, the band enjoyed Fleetwood Mac’s concert at Buffalo’s First Niagara Center, and followed the concert with a Rumourz performance of their own at the after-party at Buffalo’s Iron Works. “We made it a free show,” said Givan, “but had it been a ticketed performance, it would have been a sell-out. We were packed to the hilt!” Most recently, Rumourz performed at the Palace Theater in Lockport on Saturday, August 29, and, according to Givan, “The response was surreal.” As Rumourz’s first theater show, their Palace Theater concert received lots of compliments and enthusiasm from the crowd. Last summer, Rumourz performed locally in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area, but this summer is the band’s
first regional tour. Rumourz’s busy summer has included performances in Albany, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Pittsburgh and Scranton. Additionally, Givan and Hake have performed acoustic shows in Cleveland this year. After their Ellicottville performance, Rumourz is getting ready to play for a crowd of approximately 5,000 people at SUNY Buffalo’s North Campus in November. Four national bands will be performing, plus two regional bands, which Rumourz is excited to be part of. Givan, who has been classically trained on the piano since the age of 7 and singing for 25 years, cannot wait to fill UB’s stadium with Rumourz’s distinct harmonies. In Givan’s words, “We do what we love and we just hope we can bring a good show.” Indeed, a good show is exactly what audiences can expect at Rumourz’s performance on Saturday, September 19 during Ellicottville’s Rock ‘n Roll Weekend. For more information about Rumourz and their upcoming performances, visit their Facebook page and website at www.rumourzbandnf.com.

With the change of seasons and holidays, Boberg hopes to update her inventory in one dedicated room, to reect the shopping needs of customers. On the artisan side, AmeriCan will showcase local artist’s creations, including her own. With the work of John Mets, Todd Plough, Darlene Allen, Suzy Critters and Calla Wagner, Boberg promises there will be something for everyone. Wagner and Critters, who specialize in statement signs and whimsical creatures, respectively, will add “an air of delight and humor.â€? Plough will showcase his ďŹ ne arts and oil paintings, while Allen has reective imagery and microphotography. “If you don’t know what that means, you’ll have to come down and ďŹ nd out,â€? Boberg laughed. “There are just so many talented artists, and this is almost like a gallery setting mixed in with gifts and clothing.â€? As for her own art, Boberg paints with acrylics using metal items such as cross cut saws and frying pans as her canvases. She also uses her talents to repurpose furniture and frames, or anything she can ďŹ nd. Most of Boberg’s repurposed furniture is items she ďŹ nds, though she is willing to reimagine and change pieces that customers bring to her.
“I like to repurpose old furniture, anything really, into something functional so it can re-enter someone’s family,â€? Boberg said. “I just dabbled, but I ďŹ nally feel it’s my time to see how much more creative I can get.â€? The antiques being sold at Ameri-Can are items that friends have collected over the years, as well as items she ďŹ nds. There’s also a wide assortment of local Amish products, including woven rag rugs, iron works, toys and housewares for sale. “Their stuff is so amazing and beautiful,â€? Boberg said. “I think some people are nervous to venture out to [Amish country], so this is a way to showcase the workmanship of our local families.â€? All natural, gluten-free snacks made by the Apple Cookie Company in Turtle Creek, PA, will also be for sale. Boberg said she’ll carry
granola, power bars, cookies and brownies which are all individually wrapped and ready for munching. With the ďŹ nal touches being put on the shop – the front door was repainted earlier in the week – Boberg is a mix of nerves and excitement as she readies to open. “I’m ready to see customers I worked with in the past come back and see what’s been going on,â€? Boberg said. “We have created a buzz, and it’s all been good, positive feedback.â€? Ameri-Can is located at 11 Washington St., between Dina’s and M&T Bank, in the former Red Door location. Hours will be Monday –Saturday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. During the winter, festival and holiday season, Boberg expects to have extended weekend hours. The shop can be reached at (716) 699-6690.
