Halloween Fun for the Whole Family Spooky Barns, Ghost Walks, Kids’ Parties, Night Climbs and More
By Alicia Dziak
© 2013 KEYSTONE DESIGNERS
The days are getting shorter and the air is getting cooler, which can only mean one thing — Halloween will soon be here, filled with giggling kids, carved jack-o-lanterns and treats galore. Remember how much fun it was to be a kid at this time of year? Stop by some local spots sure to make you feel like a kid again! For the Younger Set Looking for pumpkins and a variety of fall activities? Pumpkinville has it all — tractor rides, a corn maze, new Jumpin Pillows, weekend helicopter rides and more — not to mention a huge variety of delicious homemade treats, and, of course, loads of pumpkins! Walk through the Spookin Barn, a dark but notso-scary walk-through building geared toward the younger set. With so much fun to be had, it’s no wonder Pumpkinville has become a family tradition for so many near and far. You can even get a jumpstart on your holiday shopping in their gift shop. For more information, visit www.pumpkinville.com. There will be plenty of unique family fun at Springville’s first annual Screamsville, a series of Halloween-themed events happening throughout October. On Oct. 26, the annual children’s costume parade begins at noon (participants should line up on Mechanic Street in front of M&T Bank) and will be followed by a Halloween party in the Concord Town Hall. Other Screamsville events include a See Halloween page 8
CCIDA Approves Sale Leaseback for 16 Martha St. Apartments
Routes to Art Holiday Sale Coming to Holiday Valley Nov. 16

By Jann Wiswall
The new owners of Ellicottville’s 16 Martha Street, the former site of American Locker Co., have applied for a sale leaseback transaction through the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA). The owners, who have formed 16 Martha Street, LLC, will fully remediate some environmental concerns and renovate existing buildings to construct
a seasonal apartment complex consisting of one building with 10 apartments and a second building with four two-story apartments. The apartments will be fully furnished and offered for term rentals. None will be sold. The company’s initial investment is expected to be more than $4.2 million. If all goes according to plan, said company partner Wayne Bacon, “we
Last year at this time, Mike Hutten of East Otto was preparing to celebrate his 65th birthday a little early by participating in the New York City Marathon with his daughter. The New York City Marathon is one of the largest and most popular marathons in the world.

Runners can only gain entry through their lottery, guaranteed entry or their charity program. Last year, when Hutten learned he could get a definite spot as a fundraiser for Everybody Wins!, a mentoring program that promotes success in school and life for children through one-on-one reading experiences, he jumped at the chance. Hutten trained for months, went to the city and even picked up his bib number. Then came the bad news. The marathon had been cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy. “That was really tough!” Hutten said. “All the miles and hours of training were suddenly put into a whole new light, and even though I was disappointed, there were the daily, even hourly news images broadcast about the devastation that Sandy had wrought. I tried to keep a perspective that my disappointment was miniscule compared to that of people who lost their home or family See Hutten NYC Marathon page 8

Farmers Market Summit on Monday, Nov. 4, 2013, to explore how regional farmers markets can grow and contribute to economic development in the threecounty region. The summit, titled “Growing Our Regional Farmers Markets by (net)Working,” will bring together food system stakeholders, including farmers’ market managers
and board members, food and product vendors, community health leaders, nutritionists, seniors’ health advocates, etc., to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of current markets, the opportunities for expansion that exist, and how any threats to expansion can be overcome. “The goal of the summit is to look at where our area markets stand with relation to capacity See Farmers Market page 6
Mansfield Board Passes 2014 Budget
By Jann Wiswall
A public hearing was held during the Mansfield Town Board meeting on Monday, Oct. 21 to allow residents to comment on the tentative 2014 budget. No members of the public attended the hearing, so the budget was passed as presented. One resident, Dan Hart, did attend the meeting to ask about progress toward installing
some streetlights in Eddyville. The request for streetlights was made at last month’s meeting by Harry Knodt, who had obtained signatures from other residents who felt the streetlights would enhance safety and security for residents and drivers. Town Supervisor Bob Keis said he had made numerous attempts to contact National Grid about costs associated with installing, maintaining
and operating lights. He was still waiting for a return call from the company and hoped to have estimates available for the board to consider at the next regularly scheduled meeting in November. In other business, Keis invited board members to attend a fall planning and zoning conference sponsored by Southern Tier West in See Mansfield Board page 9

Ellicottville Library Offers Class
Naked Eye Objects in the Night Sky When you look up at the clear night sky can you make any sense out of the beautiful randomness? Do you see anything you recognize beyond possibly the moon and the Big Dipper? If not, possibly this class is for you. We’ll survey the night sky for objects that are easily recognized with the greatest optical instruments known to man; your own two amazing eyes. We won’t be encumbered by the need for binoculars nor
telescopes. We’ll consider a few easily recognized naked eye objects that are visible in each season. Those unpredictable, yet beautiful, events such as the northern lights, shooting stars and comets will be addressed. You’ll also learn about artificial satellites and how to spot them. This class will help you better enjoy time spent under a clear night sky. The class will be led by long time amateur astronomer Bert Probst. It will meet at
a bacon-themed wine pairing to entice your taste buds. A casual event, guests will tour the winery and sample wines paired with bacon appetizers. Includes a complimentary glass

Technology-Focused Program Explores e-Commerce consulting, and providing guidance to the program with the goal of optimizing the learning experience for participants, and the mastery of new knowledge and skills gained by participants. The program will also provide the artists with access to St. Bonaventure University professor Todd Palmer for assistance with business plans and integrating technology into work. The grant will also pay for a three-part arts and business lecture series (open to the public), and will fully outfit CCAC’s Art on Main arts gift shop with an e-commerce website, POS system, shelving system, inventory management, business plan, and a hanging system for the gallery wall. Some of you may remember a little program CCAC ran
in 2011 called SAVI. The program guided a group of 20 artists though a curriculum of business topics to better enable them to run a creative-based business. The program was one of the most comprehensive professional development programs in the region, and this has been modeled as “Part 2.” 2011 SAVI participants will be grandfathered in. New artists will need to complete an application and submit images. Details coming soon. Planning is still in progress, but if you are interested in being part of a group of artists to learn arts business techniques with a focus on expanding your market through exploring the potentials of e-commerce, please call CCAC at (716) 372-7455 or email info@ myartscouncil.net.

Meet “Florence”
My name is Florence, but my friends call me Flo, and I’d like to take a minute to tell you a little bit about myself in the hopes you’ll like what you hear and we can spend more time together. I’m about 7 years old, give or take, (you know a girl never tells her real age!), I know it’s hard to imagine a people person like me would be looking for my forever home at this stage of the game, but due to circumstances beyond my control, I am. EARS rescued me from a kill shelter in Kentucky. They only give us each a few days to find a home there – and I heard them say my time was up. People say I’m a Chihuahua Corgi mix, and that I’m the best of both at only 8 lbs. I am loyal, quiet, smart and loving. I walk well on a leash, and cover more ground than you might think. Cardio is where it’s at! I come when I’m called, and I’d never think of doing my business in the house. What am I? An animal? LOL! I get along well with dogs and I love cats! My favorite things are afternoon naps, hanging with my peeps on the sofa or the bed and munching on a good treat. If any of this sounds good to you, gimme a shout out at the email address below, and we can meet up and hang out! Please email us at empirerescue@gmail.com for adoption information. Also visit our website at www.empire.petfinder.com to view more of our amazing animals up for adoption!

Health & Fitness: Top 10 Exercises for Women More and more women understand the benefits of strength training, i.e. weight lifting. There is clear evidence that lifting weights is not only beneficial to building strength in our bodies but also for longevity. Plus, women are finally realizing that weight training will not make them too big or later turn muscle into fat if they stop lifting. Here are some of the best moves women can do for their bodies. 1. Push-ups: This move defines and strengthen the deltoids, triceps and chest. Even if you can’t nail the traditional military style pushup, the variations will work wonders too. 2. Triceps dip: As women age, their arms soften. A simple dip, which can be done anywhere, helps firm up the arms. 3. Pull-up: Although tough at first, a pull-up strengthens the back muscles and the lats, as well as the shoulders and

biceps. 4. Squat: The squat targets the glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings. By building up these areas, you can increase your calories burned, which helps weight control. 5. Lunge: Much like the squat, the lunge is crucial for leg strength, balance and prevention of osteoporosis of the hips. 6. Reverse dumbbell fly: This works the upper back muscles, which keep the shoulders from falling forward.
It greatly improves posture and helps prevent osteoporosis. 7. Back extensions: This move is great for the lower back and can be easily done by placing your hips on a Swiss ball and feet against a wall. With a gentle and controlled lift you will be helping to strengthen your core and keep your body in proper alignment. 8. Row: Whether you use a machine or a set of dumbbells, this move also greatly improves posture and upper back muscles. 9. Crunch: The crunch is best done on a stability ball for added safety. Strong abs are the key to a healthy core, as they support the lower back and spine and ensure proper alignment. 10. Walking: Walking improves your aerobic endurance and reduces stress. It’s easy and it can help decrease the risk of coronary heart disease.

CTE Students get Hands-on Lesson in Airbrushing ELLICOTTVILLE — Students in the Collision Repair Technology program at the C-A BOCES Career and Technical Education Center (CTE) at Ellicottville recently received a hands-on airbrush lesson from Tom Banks of the Ohio Technical College Custom Paint and Graphics Training Program. The students used the latest and safest water-based paints as they worked their way through a two-hour series of exercises using a two-stage airbrush. The exercises helped the young painters begin to develop the technique and fine motor control needed for effective painting using an airbrush. According to BOCES Instructor Ed Arnold, “Tom Banks came in and taught the kids using best teaching
style: hands-on learning. Mr. Banks also stated airbrush painting can be a great source of additional income for those with the talent and skill to pursue it.” The Custom Paint and Graphics Training Program at Ohio Technical College is a 12-week, 300-hour, allinclusive program developed to train body shop technicians in the highly rewarding field of custom painting and refinishing. Students explore the artistic side of painting, special effects and graphic

design. Mr. Banks said the program blends frame and body refinishing skills with art as students learn airbrushing, 3-D paint effects, exotic paint, chameleon colors, flames and more. Students also learn to do pinstriping and apply vinyl graphics, all of which he said can greatly enhance their earning potential and make them more valuable employees.

Title: President, Weed Ross Insurance Agency
and celebrations. Q: What’s different about the insurance business in Ellicottville? A: Because of Holiday Valley and HoliMont, we have a niche market in seasonal home insurance policies. Seasonal homes are not a market the big insurance agencies seek out because the risks are higher when homes are not occupied or are rented by non-owners. Most claims for vacation homes are related to freezing pipes that cause water damage that may go unnoticed for weeks. So when there’s a problem, it tends to be a bigger problem. We work with a group of excellent regional insurance companies that understand Ellicottville’s unique marketplace. They may require owners to install freeze alarms or turn off the water when the home is unoccupied, but that helps to keep premiums lower.

InterViews: Conversations with Ellicottville-ians
By Jann Wiswall
www.EllicottvilleTimes.com
Q: There are lots of online insurance companies in the market these days. How do you compete with them? A: Most of the online companies are in the business for volume. They may sometimes have lower premiums, but their policies are not personalized. At Weed Ross, our staff members talk with each and every client about their needs. We ask the right questions in order to design policies that work for their needs and budgets. When a client later makes a claim or has a problem, our staff already knows him/her and can work with them on a personal level. The staff is, without question, our biggest asset and is what makes us stand out from the competition. Q: Ellicottville is waiting for FEMA to approve revised floodplain maps for the town and village. How will the new maps impact your clients? A: As of Oct. 1, flood insurance premiums through all insurers went up by 25 percent, so all home and business owners that are required to carry flood insurance have been hit with increases of hundreds of dollars. When FEMA approves the new maps, many property owners in Ellicottville will no longer be required to have flood insurance, and that will mean big savings for them. Q: What makes owning a business in Ellicottville unique? A: I think most people will say that when you work in Ellicottville, your clients and customers become friends as well. It’s a wonderful group of progressive business people who have the best interests of the community at heart and would do anything for anyone.

Now in its seventh year, Routes to Art (RTA) is an annual, self-guided, openstudio artists’ tour taking place across Cattaraugus County and the Seneca Nation of Indians.

and resources and to assess what might be keeping them from their greatest potential,” said Kim LaMendola, who serves as regional development coordinator of STW and is organizing the summit. “We’ll work with participants to develop and prioritize specific goals intended to help them build a stronger regional network of farmer’s markets in the region.” Keynote speaker Jim Farr, who directs the City of Rochester’s highly successful Public Market — which won the 2010 Favorite Farmers Market of the Year award from the American Farmland Trust — will talk about the experiences, successes and challenges he faces while running a large, owner-operated enterprise that features healthy, farm-fresh, quality products that come direct from the producer. The rest of the “roll up your sleeves” working meeting will be led by Diane Eggert, executive director of the Farmers Market Federation (FMF) of New York, who has developed a variety of programs and services to support and advance the farmers’ market
industry in the state. Among other innovations, FMF has developed a commercial general liability insurance program for markets and participating vendors, market manager training programs, new market development in partnership with community organizations, market promotional programs, and a statewide farmers’ market wireless EBT program. Eggert will lead the group through dialogue, assessment, network building, collaboration and planning for the future sustainability and vibrancy of the region’s farmers markets. Participants will be treated to breakfast and lunch prepared by chef Sheila Darrow, an avid supporter of farmers markets who uses fresh, local ingredients whenever possible to prepare her delicious recipes. Participants are invited to donate food items toward the meals. STW’s food system development work “is intended to increase sales and revenue opportunities for local food producers by strengthening existing markets, identifying and developing new markets,
creating durable aggregation and distribution models, providing access to flexible capital and financing resources, fostering employment opportunities in agriculture and food production, and integrating the primary components of the food system so that local food can move easily from point of origin to a broadly diverse consumer base,” as stated in its 201213 annual report. Its projects over the past year include a comprehensive food hub study, development of a local food marketing plan, producer and consumer surveys, launch of a Farm to School to Institution Program, building partnerships with community health organizations, and collaborating with policy advocates and agriculture professionals. Because of grant funding obtained by STW, registration for the Regional Farmers Market Summit is free, but pre-registration is required.

Hog-Shed Pottery Part of East Otto Open House
NOW Open!
By Jeff Martin
What most surprises Elliott Hutten of Hog-Shed Studio Pottery of Otto is that customers keep coming back. That’s surprising in and of itself, considering that Hutten crafts some of the most ornate and simple functional and decorative pottery in Western New York. And like her neighbor, Robin Zefers Clark, a watercolorist of note who works and displays her work at Brookside Studio Watercolors, she will open her studio to the public as part of a formal open house on Nov. 2 and 3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Part of the East Otto Country Associates group, Hutten has attracted many of her most loyal customers through the Open House, which aims to show the public where some of the most beloved works of art in Western New York are made. “It’s a very intimate experience for those who come here,” Hutten said in her studio, which serves as both a functional space equipped with a kiln, potter’s wheel and, in its own separate room filled with stones for a floor, a store. Lining five walls are a variety of high- and low-fired pottery pieces, from mugs and plates to bird feeders and vases. Hutten moved with her husband, Michael, to their present location in 1976. They had been living in Buffalo until then and wanted more space for her pottery business, which started in earnest after she discovered her love for it. A graduate of Damon College, Hutten studied oil painting, but when she thrust her hands into clay she found, much to her surprise, her calling. “I just love working with it,” she said.
with over 225 Gourmet Cheeses
In 1982, she and her husband formed Hog-Shed Studio Pottery, and it’s slowly become a destination of interest for pottery lovers ever since. “People love that each piece is unique, not something you find in chain stores,” she said. “I mean, the pieces are relatively the same, but the kiln fires each piece in a distinct way. It’s a fascinating process.” Using a propane-fired kiln in the back room, Hutton and her husband fire the kiln to 2,400 degrees, enough to glaze each piece so that they become, among other things, dishwasher safe. The less porous each piece is, she explained, the more durable it is. Pottery making is an ancient process. Creating the desired piece out of clay, Hutten fires it once and it becomes green ware; a second time, it becomes a bisque. Then it’s waxed and glazed before being fired again, which is the last step before it is placed on the shelf. Holding up a near-finished plate, Hutten shows how various colors become other colors after they
are fired. Most amazing is how designs beneath the colors emerge during a firing. When people show up for the Open House, Hutten said they will have a chance to see how it’s made and where the pottery is kept. Kids will have the opportunity to take clay and mold it into something unique and, quite possibly, useful. “It means a lot to people to see where the pottery is made,” she said. “It amazes them so much. I think it’s why so many return.” At 64, Hutten has little left to prove in the pottery world. She’s experimented with wood-fired pottery in the past and is doing so more and more. In cooperation with a group in Chautauqua County, Hutten just recently put a batch in the wood fire over the weekend. The colors and designs that emerge from such a kiln are nothing short of amazing, she said. For more information, visit www.hogshedpottery.com or call (716) 257-9549 or 2442967.

Students work out four times a week and study all aspects of law enforcement. Emley said many Criminal Justice students enter various branches of the military after graduation, before moving on to law enforcement careers.

# New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth George delivers another masterpiece #1 of suspense s in her Inspector Lynley series: a gripping child-in-danger story that tests Det Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers like never before. B Barbara is at a loss: The daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can’t really help — Azhar had never married Angelina, and his name isn’t on Hadiyyah’s, their daughter’s, birth certificate. He has no legal claim. Az Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold. A Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears wi shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace. The with Ita Italian police are investigating, and the Yard won’t get involved, until Barbara takes ma matters into her own hands — at the risk of her own career. As both Barbara and her partner, Inspector Thomas Lynley, soon discover, the case is far more complex than a typical kidnapping, revealing secrets that could have far-reaching effects outside of the investigation. With both her job and the life of a little girl on the line, Barbara must decide what matters most, and how far she’s willing to go to protect it.

Texting Zone Signs along NYS Thruway and Highways Continued Crackdown on Driver Texting
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo continued the state’s efforts to reduce distracted driving by unveiling “Texting Zones” along the New York State Thruway and New York State Highways that will give motorists a pull-off area to park and use their mobile devices. Existing Park-n-Ride facilities, rest stops and parking areas along the thruway and highways will dual-function as Texting Zones, and signage will be placed along the highway to inform drivers where the zones are located. A total of 298 signs will be located along major highways across the state, notifying motorists about 91 Texting Zone locations. This initiative comes after a 365 percent increase in tickets issued in summer 2013, compared to summer 2012 for distracted driving, a result of an enforcement crackdown by the New York State Police. This summer, police issued 21,580 tickets statewide, surpassing last summer’s total of 5,208 tickets. “New York State is continuing to use every tool at its disposal to combat textingwhile-driving,” Cuomo said. “With this new effort, we are
sending a clear message to drivers that there is no excuse to take your hands off the wheel and eyes off the road, because your text can wait until the next Texting Zone.” New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Joan McDonald said, “This campaign is sending a clear message to motorists: It can wait. There is no text that is important enough to jeopardize a life, and anyone caught texting while driving will face stiff penalties.” The campaign was in addition to two efforts initiated earlier this year to crack down on distracted driving – increasing the penalty for distracted driving from 3 to 5 points on a driver’s license and legislation to increase license suspension and revocation periods for distracted driving on young and new drivers.
State Police have been using Concealed Identity Traffic Enforcement vehicles as part of the operation, in order to more easily identify motorists who are texting while driving. CITE vehicles are SUVs that have platforms higher than an average vehicle, allowing officers greater ability to see into other vehicles and detect individuals in the process of sending text messages. The fleet of CITE vehicles are unmarked and come in a variety of colors, to ensure that they blend in with traffic on the road. They are also equipped with hidden, high-intensity emergency lights. Texting Zones include rest stops in Cattaraugus County at Allegany River, Chautauqua, Randolph, Friendship in Allegany and Clarence, Angola, Eden and Hamburg in Erie County.

members.” While the marathon was cancelled, thousands of athletes who had come were still ready to run. As a sort of bright spot among the unfortunate circumstances, an informally organized “Run Anyway” marathon began to take shape that day. “This was an amazing experience,” Hutten said. “I went out on Sunday to just run, planning to do one lap around Central Park. People in New York were coming out of their homes to cheer and they brought water, bagels, even fruit to support people who were running! Once I got going, I was so electrified by the thousands of runners around me that I went on to complete a second and a third lap. “By that point I began to fatigue, and I went to one of the rest rooms. When I was coming out, another runner was going in and we chatted a minute about the cancellation and the wonderful weather that would have been perfect for the marathon. Then she said, ‘You’re doing good. You
look great!’ In that instant, all thoughts of quitting before I had finished the final lap vanished.” Hutten ran the marathon as a way to elicit donations for “Everybody Wins!” His goal was $2,500, and he ended up raising 114 percent of that amount, due to the generosity of his friends and family. Fast forward a year and Hutten is preparing for the ING NYC Marathon, without seeking charitable contributions though. “I guess this is about completing something that I set out to do,” Hutten stated. “I ran an unofficial marathon last year by completing the old NYC marathon course: four-plus laps around the perimeter of Central Park, but nonetheless, I want to finish an official marathon to mark my 65th birthday, which was last February.” Hutten’s training has been intense. “I usually do a couple 17mile runs in the course of my marathon training, but this year I have reached 22 miles as part of my preparations,” he
explained. “Semi-retirement from work has left me with more time and energy to train and the warm fall weather is an extra bonus. So my every-other-day 5 miles and occasional longer runs are going well, my injuries and strains have been mercifully few, and I am getting psyched up as the marathon approaches. As always, I have no illusions about setting records, but will be completely satisfied with finishing the course.” Hutten attributes his success on this endeavor to his family. “Once again my daughter who lives in NYC is generously opening her home to me. Her support and that of my whole family has been 100 percent. That support is the only reason that I have the privilege of running a single step, much less a marathon,” he said. On Nov. 3, 2013, Hutten will be one of an estimated 48,000 runners traveling through NYC’s five boroughs for a 26.2-mile race. If you’re not one of the expected two million people in the cheering section that day, cheer him on in spirit!

may consider adding additional buildings in the future.” CCIDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor, who led the discussion on the application with the CCIDA Board at its Oct. 22, 2013, meeting, said that the project will provide a unique lodging option in Ellicottville that also will increase foot traffic to village shops and restaurants. In addition, it will “restore/ reconstruct a key building” in the core of the village. Bacon said his company expects to hire about 35 local tradespeople for 6–9 months or more to do the construction and will hire a local real estate management company to manage rentals and daily operations. Wiktor also pointed out that the new apartments will generate significant sales and bed tax revenues and will enhance the property tax base of the village. The board felt the project meets its goals and approved a resolution to hold a public hearing on the project. It also approved a resolution to conduct a preliminary State
Environmental Quality Review (SEQR). Wiktor indicated that the CCIDA likely will be designated as the lead SEQR agency. If approved for the transaction, the company would be exempted from certain New York State sales and use taxes, real property taxes, real estate transfer taxes and mortgage recording taxes. Following discussion of the 16 Martha Street property, two representatives from Empire State Development (ESD), New York’s chief economic development agency, briefed the board on the progress it has made over the past year on a number of economic development fronts. ESD coordinates the New York State Consolidated Funding Application (CFA), a competitive grant program that advances the goals of the Regional Economic Development Councils (REDC). The Western New York REDC, which covers Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara counties, has endorsed 16 projects and submitted them
for approval to the state. Two of these projects are in Cattaraugus County: One would rehabilitate the McNallie Fischer building in Randolph to promote revitalization of the town. The other would support the renovation of Gowanda’s historic Hollywood Theater. ESD representatives Mike Wall and Diego Sirianni both noted that CFA funding is not the only form of assistance ESD can provide to large and small businesses in the region. “The state is open for business year round to help,” Wall said. “We can usually find a tool that can be used to help almost any business.” He added that ESD has provided an additional $60 million in business support between CFA rounds over the past year. In other business, CCIDA board member Crystal Abers proposed to reappoint the board’s officers in the same positions they currently hold for 2014. The board approved. The next meeting of the CCIDA board will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 11:15 a.m. at its office in Ellicottville.

Who Names a Racehorse ‘Taking Up Space’? I spent a fair part of my summer watching thoroughbreds charge around oval tracks in Saratoga Springs and Finger Lakes, N.Y. I’m writing a book about the Great Zippy Chippy, the New York state racehorse that defied all odds and logic to amass a breathtaking 10-year career of 100 consecutive wins. Sorry, make that 100 losses in a row. No, he never won a race but in fairness, he always meant to. Zippy Chippy may not have had a really fast pace or a quick dash out of the gate or a powerful drive down the stretch or great stamina in long races or ... wait! What else is there? Oh yeah, that horse could eat his weight in alfalfa. In doing research for this project, I could not help but notice some of the very strange names owners give their steeds. In his career, Zippy ran against horses named Two Chums Up, Take Sum Believing, We Passem, Shininlikediamonds, I’mjumpingjackflash, Sixfeetunder, Makemineagoldmine and Imgonnabiteyounow. As far as I can tell, Byby Fran’s Kitchen and Uncle Johnyscookin never ran in the same race. If Wishes Were Horses sums it up pretty well while Millie Hurry Up makes you kinda sad. Zippy Chippy somehow managed to lose a race in which DeWitt Be Quick wasn’t, Rockit Man failed to launch and Heaven El Wait will have to. On the other hand, he once finished 15 lengths ahead of a horse named Viva La Triomph, which ended up dead last. There’s actually a governing agency in horseracing that must approve of the owner’s choice of name. And so there should be. One guy who
didn’t like the track announcer named his horse Another Horse so that as the thoroughbreds rushed down the homestretch the call would go out over the PA system: “And Another Horse has taken the lead” confusing the hell out of everybody. Although Al-Qaeda failed the name game, Hamas passed with flying colours ... bright green and white. The trouble with owning and naming a horse is that any damn fool can do it. Take my nephew David, for instance. Having spent a good part of his college days at the races, he and two buddies decided they needed to move up the track ladder from losing bettors to thoroughbred owners. So they walked into the track’s administration office and one day said they wanted to claim a horse. “She looked at us like we were high on crack,” David recalls. But they knew a guy and for cash that guy talked to another guy and $2,000 later they owned a horse. “Yeah, we named him Threeguysonthesauce.” (Now you see why the crack was unnecessary.) So there they were, three kids strutting around the paddock like Kentucky straw-hat dandies and slightly buzzed on beer. “A syndicate of investors” is the title they preferred. All that was great and the girls were quite impressed until the first $1,000 vet bill arrived. A sobering experience times three. That’s when the horse went off to be a jumper at a show farm and the boys went back to being two-dollar bettors.
So Threeguysonthesauce goes into the bin of bad horse names along with Unblessed, Dude Anonymous, Sir Jouncewell, Mecke Mouse and in a belated shout out to The Honeymooner’s Ralph Kramden - Bangzoomtothemoon. Somebody should have considered charges against owners who named their colts Happy Hooves, Horsemeat Jr., Bag O’Bones, Born Loser and Horse-Apples. Three Legs And A Prayer, however, carries a certain cache and I must admit I do like Nag, Nag, Nag. At 100 career losses, Zippy Chippy may not have any zip to him but he sure was chippy. This horse bit and kicked so many of his handlers he might well have been named First Aid. Or Bringing Up The Rear. Or Herecomesollardass. Zippy Chippy once lost a race by 15 lengths to a horse named Mr. Peanut. He once finished behind Dunkin’ Donuts by nine lengths. He never recovered from those defeats. It was almost fitting that in his last race and 100th loss he ended up three lengths behind Taking Up Space. Yet in 100 races, he never gave up and he actually did a little victory dance after each loss. No doubt, there is glory and nobility in great attempts ... trying and striving and getting up off the mat to face another fight. “Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man. But sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.” ~Vince Lombardi~ www.williamthomas.ca.

There is no fee, and pictures will be available to purchase through Patty, as well!” stressed Paterniti. According to Paterniti, there will also be a “heart-shaped group hug (photo) maybe with some headstanders in there somewhere too.” Remember, this is free for anyone who wants to participate. Proceeds from the headstands and People Picture, as well as action photos throughout the event, will be donated to the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski/Board program at Holiday Valley, the Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail and Take a Stand4Heroes through the Bob Woodruff Foundation.

minimum donation to take part in the Headstands for Humanity event. Paterniti explained, “We are (just) asking for a donation from all participants and anyone else who may like to contribute. It is designed to be a pledge drive where individuals and teams can raise pledge dollars in any amount, so no participant has to pay out of their own pocket.” All donations from the event participants and teams will be accepted the day of the event. The pledge team with the highest team total will receive a prize. The pledge form and specific Guinness guidelines are available at www.headstandsforhumanity.com. Stay up to date with daily headstand photos on the Headstands for Humanity Facebook page.
Mansfield Board Continued from Front Page
Mayville on Nov. 14. Keis and Annie Widger, a member of the Mansfield Planning Board, are planning to attend to learn about changes to SEQR regulations and “Right to Farm” issues. Any board members interested in joining them were asked to follow up with Keis as soon as possible. Keis said he had obtained bids for lumber, drywall and other materials needed to complete the offices and restrooms in the new highway garage. The low bidder was Sixt Lumber in Little Valley. The board approved a motion to accept the bid. Keis also filled in the board on a property issue that recently came to the town’s attention when the county was asked by the property owner for a permit to install a septic system. The property, which is less than one acre, was purchased by the owner during a Sheriff’s tax sale. The town had previously approved the
owner’s request to construct a 16’ x 24’ workshop on the property. Without the town’s knowledge, the owners had moved into the workshop and made it their home. When the county representative and Mansfield’s building inspector went to the property to respond to the septic system request, they noted that not only was the property too small for a septic system, but it was also too small for a residence of any kind. In addition, the structure did not meet the town’s building code. For these and several other reasons, the property was condemned and the owners were required to vacate the property by a certain date. They may continue to use the structure as a workshop. The board discussed the Highway Department’s next necessary purchase — a replacement vehicle for an aging plow truck that won’t make it through next year.
While the purchase won’t be made until 2014, Keis asked the board to commit to its purchase at the evening’s meeting in order to get $70,000 in insurance replacement costs for one of the trucks burned in the Highway Department fire in October 2012. Those funds will be used toward the purchase of the new vehicle. Acting Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley and Supervisor Keis are recommending the purchase of a 2015 Mack GU 712 single axle AWD chassis with plow equipment at an estimated cost of $252,406.43. The board approved the planned purchase. Financing the balance of the truck’s cost will be discussed after final 2013 carryover numbers are known and 2014 property tax revenues are received. The next meeting of the Mansfield Town Board will be held on Monday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. at the Mansfield Town Hall.

Headstands for Humanity Can’t do a headstand (like most people)? Not a problem. You can participate standing on your feet, too. Paterniti said, “We REALLY want to stress participation by all comers of all abilities. In other words, they don’t have to do headstands to be involved.” The world record is 246 people doing headstands, but the group is aiming for more than 400 headstand participants. Participants will have to hold the headstand position for a minimum of 15 seconds to be counted. So if you plan to participate, start practicing. Paterniti will be holding practice sessions at St. Bonaventure’s Richter Center on Saturday, Oct. 26 at 11 a.m., with another practice session scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 27 outside by the Ellicottville Gazebo at 2 p.m. It’s wise to bring something cushy to rest

Jesus Spoke About... Intimacy “This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.” (John 17:3) In this prayer Jesus makes a couple of things clear. The source of eternal life is in knowing God, the only true God. “Knowing” speaks of intimacy, as in a marriage. To know God is not merely to know certain facts about Him, but to be close to Him in heart and soul. This is possible through Jesus Christ. “Eternal life” is more than living forever, it is a quality of life that is made available to us in Jesus Christ. Eternal life begins when we come to know Jesus Christ personally, by receiving
Him. “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12) What do you think? Let’s talk about it! Discussion Bible Studies are held every Tuesday at 7:30 pm, and 2nd & 4th Saturdays at 7:00 pm.

THAT SEASONAL FOUR-LETTER WORD
There’s a reason why the word “snow� is a four-letter word. To anyone who hasn’t g rown up in Western New York, the very reality of snow takes on a dimension similar to that of suddenly waking up and f inding yourself naked in a Russian forest. It’s that shocking. With a recent forecast predicting a rain/snow mix, I felt it was important to devote this week’s column to that substance that worries me — an Ohio native — most. First, let me say that I’m sure snow serves a purpose. A quick glance on the internet, however, reveals no useful purpose besides recreational activities, which Western New York seems to have capitalized on tenfold. In the Northtowns, there’s Kissing Bridge, and in the Southtowns there’s Holiday Valley and HoliMont. Between those two areas are headaches. I say this with a light heart. Equipped with good tires, patience and a bottle of Tylenol, we can all enjoy the white stuff — in spite of the fact that WNY averages between 80 and 150 inches per year. Where I come from, you measured snow with a kindergarten ruler, not an industrial tape measure. With that, the following list is to help you this winter season, though I suspect that, unlike me, most people don’t need any advice. Like I said, tire traction is key. If you can afford it (which I cannot), consider a set of winter tires, a specialized rubber compound that maintains f lexibility in the cold. Or you could just use a team of horses, but I suspect the monetary investment is quite a bit more. Inf late your tires to the proper level and check them once a month. When the temperature drops 10 deg rees, your tires drop one to two PSI. Oh, and make sure you carry spare change: The air pumps cost about a buck for three minutes — a sick joke considering it takes f ive minutes to clear a path around your vehicle. Someone said to practice driving on slick conditions in a parking lot before getting on the roadway with the rest of the luna — uh, population. I guess I ag ree with this advice; it certainly helped when I was 17 and learning how to drive, which I suppose is the same thing when it snows 2 feet in an hour. Stock your vehicle with emergency supplies. Hey, I didn’t have to be told to do this last year during my f irst winter. It just made all the sense in the world to pack in my trunk a twin mattress, f ive blankets, a tent, a cord of wood, food for seven days, a pick ax, a f irearm, a CB radio, goggles, shovels, and booze. In all seriousness, just make sure you have a shovel, clothes, some food, f irst-aid kit and patience. Good luck and be safe. If you so desire, throw me an email and tell me of some unique winter adventures that you’ve had.

In the October 18, edition of the Ellicottville Times, your article entitled “Great Valley Town Board Reviews STAR� contained an error, which is causing quite a bit of confusion for senior citizens. In the original article, it indicates that recipients of both the Basic and Senior STAR exemptions have until Dec. 31 to register with NYS Taxation and Finance. The correct information is that ONLY Basic STAR recipients need to register. Recipients of the Senior STAR (aka Enhanced STAR) DO NOT NEED to do anything at this time.
