Village Board MeetingVillage Board Discusses Fire Department Retirement Plan

BY NICHOLAS PIRCIOWPIG, 95.7 FM

We’ve heard much of public-private cooperation. Schools partner with businesses to establish educational programs. Private contractors lend

a hand when natural or manmade disaster creates an emergency situation. Now, a concerted effort is underway to restore and preserve the Jefferson Street Cemetery. Leading the way are the Ellicottville Historical Society and the Town of Ellicottville. “It needs some

New items added to the attraction this year include an on-site ice cream facility with specialty “Pumpkinville blend” caramel made on site. Pumpkinville offers families food and activities including the age-old tradition of selecting your own pumpkins for jack-o-laterns and decorating the pie of your choice from Di’s Pies & Bake Shoppe.

Local Cemetery Aims For National Registry

Saturday, Sept. 18th, 9:30-1:30amTHE INSIDERS

BY DEAN WHITCOMB

The Village Board held a regular meeting Monday, September 13, 2010 in efforts to discuss and plan normal monthly business. The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm sharp and all board members were present. The meeting opened with “Business From The Floor,” for which a representative of the Ellicottville Fire Department attended and presented possible plans for the implementation of a retirement plan for Firefi ghters. Though the program is in its early stages for the community and the Fire Department, the representative was adamant of one thing in particular: the acceptance of such a program that would allow Fire

Department Workers eligibility for a retirement plan would ensure a stronger department. The speaker cited one example where an alarm went off in a village building and only 3 fi remen responded to the call. He referenced past times when Ellicottville would have had an abundance of responders to a call like that, but instead, the community currently is struggling to retain Department Staff. The Representative urged the Board to see the strength a retirement plan would give the Ellicottville Fire Department by giving young people a benefi t package that would allow them to build fi nancial stability for the rest of their lives. Following the presentation, the Board moved on to the DPW Report, where discussion ensued

regarding the excessive piles of brush left for pick-up by Ellicottville Residents. The Board discussed the possibility of limiting brush pick-up to merely two trips per year to keep the amount of brush removed at a steady amount. The DPW did commit to continuing to remove leaf piles daily while the fall season is in swing. The Village Constable reported few criminal activities for the month of August. He cited three complaints regarding open container violations and two complaints of criminal mischief after the fence behind Tops was vandalized and also at an empty house on Mill Street where windows had been broken. There was additionally a report of one

By, Megan O’Donnell, St. Bonaventure UniversityFor the past six years, Outback Kettle Korn has been providing Ellicottville with a delicious snack, but does anyone really know about the family behind the business? On Aug. 15, 2009 the Stanzs’ life went from being focused on the business to being focused on something more important – their son. That day, John Stanz’s son Johnny, 27, was injured in Afghanistan. (Pictured Above: John at his Purple Heart Ceremony with General Lefebvre, MSC, MSOB (l) and his parents, Sandy and John.)

What a fabulous weekend – Rockin’ Oldies Weekend and Classic Car Show is fi nally here! Many of the locals will tell you this is their favorite weekend. The atmosphere is festive, the crowds are “just right” and the fun is around every corner all weekend long. It’s a real testament to our hard working Ellicottville Chamber and all the merchants in the village. You’ll meet the nicest people while strolling around the village streets shopping, enjoying the live music, popping into a pub for a quick bite and bevie and looking at all those beautiful cars. This weekend will be a blast and a great way to kick off our famous fall season. Our friendly visitors love it here as much as we residents do. And

why not? I fi rmly believe one of the main reasons for this mutual affection is the collective attitude of the people who live here. We’re a fun, optimistic bunch with bright attitudes. Who wouldn’t want to be around folks like that? I fi nd the interaction of old friends and new acquaintances very energizing, don’t you? And what a beautiful time and picturesque setting to relax, have some fun and enjoy the people, scenery, and wonderful events. So, dear readers – give me warm sweaters, a blazing fi re (outdoors or in) and a nice glass of wine. Once again, I must say – living and working in Ellicottville is the best of all worlds! Have a rockin’ weekend! -JZ

Formica, with his wife Sandra, formed a committee which was called the Salamanca Positive Action Committee (SPAC). The mission was to develop ideas to restore civic pride, improve the look of Main Street and attract new businesses to the area. One of the ideas the SPAC discussed was holding a festival in the fall, which became known as the Falling Leaves Festival.

Letter to the PublisherMidget Football Should Be About the Kids

Recently the Olean Times Herald has had a number of articles on area schools and their football programs. A number of schools have low numbers and diffi culty getting enough kids to play football. I am sure this happens for a number of reasons but I would suggest that we look at our area youth football programs as one reason for a lack of interest in football. I was very hesitant to have my son involved in our local pee-wee football program last year but did and found the fi rst year to be a good experience. Our local league had adopted a new coaching program where the kids played more and the lines were mixed on experience and skills. Practices had a lot of fun drills to learn the skills and not just repeated running of the plays. My son enjoyed the year and we felt it had been a good experience. Unfortunately this year has not been the same, partly because he is working to make weight and partly due to a change in the “program”. Our team falls under the Cattaraugus County Midget Football League, one of the only leagues

to have weight limits for the line. This outdated method has kids “dieting” to make weight. They are ostracized and ignored at practice since they can’t have any contact. There is one line weight and doesn’t take into account height or physical condition. The other reason for frustration is we are back to A and B lines where A plays most of the time and B gets their 6 plays in. Six plays is an increase from the 4 play requirement two years ago. It is sad that in little league football the minimum is 6 plays out of an estimate of 80 plays in a game. Just to put it in perspective they start practicing August 1st – 5 nights a week for 2-2 ½ hours. Once school starts they go to 4 nights a week 1 ½ hour practices. This is all for 6 play a game? In other little league sports as well as modifi ed sports in school; the goal for playing time is half or equal. So why in Little League football is the requirement less than 10% of a game. We certainly would not allow that in our school programs. Our CCMFL gives all the control to the coaches instead of the

Board that exists for each for each team. They really have no say in anything but fund raising. The head coach has the vote regarding playing time, program and league rules. It seems to me that the Board of Directors should have the say in who coaches, the rules and what the program philosophy is. I know many kids that have opted not to play or to play soccer because they just want to play and have fun. . I have also seen parents burnt out from the amount of work and effort being involved in football takes. Sadly that is not from the actual game but from the “politics” that exit in many leagues. This is not true for all coaches, as there are many great coaches in Little League Football who are there for the right reasons. At the little league level, it should not be all about winning, winning is only a bonus when it happens. The CCMFL needs to change if they are truly here for the right reasons. We need to remember it should be all about “the kids”!!!

Randolph Awarded GrantDowntown Revitalization Project Receives $345,531

The Town of Randolph has just been informed that the New York State Housing Trust Fund Corporation’s Offi ce of Community Renewal (OCR) has selected the Towns application and has been awarded $345,531.00 as part of the 2010 New York Main Street Program. “For this year’s New York

Main Street Program, OCR has awarded nearly $15 million to assist communities all across New York State in addressing their main street and downtown revitalization efforts. Working collaboratively with our local partners, these resources will help stimulate investment to expand affordable housing, provide job opportunities, and create a sense of place to improve the quality of life for our communities” “This was only our second

attempt at this competitive grant program and we are so fortunate to have been awarded. The grant application was a collaborative effort in many ways. Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning & Tourism assisted us with partial

funding for a proven grant writer, Mary Anderson. We received support and direction by Donald B l o o m q u i s t , C o m m u n i t y Development Specialist and Michael Pufpaff, Environmental Consultant, and locally the plan was developed and written by Tonia McAllister, Executive Director of the Randolph Area Community Development Corp. (RACDC), Tom Congdon, President of RACDC, & Lori Milliman, Town Clerk. It could not have happened without the teamwork that took place. This will be such a boost for our downtown business district. With the departure last fall of Conewango Products, a distribution company that was housed in three storefronts in the center of Main Street, we have been able to already fi ll two of those buildings with wonderful retail stores, The Randolph Retail Company that opened its doors in June, and The Pickle Barrel which will be opening at the end of September. With these funds we can uniformly revive the tired, mismatched facade, replace windows and doors,

improve energy effi ciency and work on the interiors of these and other commercial businesses along Main Street and Jamestown Street. There is also a large portion of the funds designated for upper fl oor housing, offering our local landlords funding to provide for their apartments safety improvements as well as much needed face lifts to make their living spaces more appealing and comfortable for their tenants. This investment in our village comes on the heels of the devastating tornado that wreaked havoc on the Town and Village in July and is so much appreciated. We know that Randolph is just going to continue to grow stronger and be viewed as a destination village for homeowners, entrepreneurs and tourists.” There will be more information to come as the plans from the building owners are assembled and submitted. The project will need to be completed within two years, as per the guidelines of the grant. Tonia McAllister, Randolph Area Community Dev. Corp.

BRADFORD, Pa. – Dr. Kevin Ewert, associate professor of theater at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, was invited to present at the 34th Biannual International Shakespeare Conference held last month in England.

Ewert presented a paper titled “The Thrust Stage is Not a Direct Link to Shakespeare” at the conference hosted in Shakespeare’s hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon by The Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham. Ewert’s paper was critical of

The Royal Shakespeare Co.’s marketing of its four-year, $173 million renovation of its

Professor Attends ConferencePitt-Brad Educator Attends Shakespeare Conference Abroad

Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The RSC argued in its materials that the stage it was constructing – one on which the audience surrounds the stage on three sides and which was used in Shakespeare’s day – would be “the right space to present the work of Shakespeare.” Ewert countered in his paper that the stage is only one part of the theatrical equation and that there is no one “right” kind of stage on which to perform any type of theater, even Shakespeare. He argued that changing a theatrical space does not automatically change actor training and methodology, directorial preferences,

modern design practice, use of technical elements or audience expectations that make up the whole theater experience. The International Shakespeare Conference is an invitation-only gathering of leading Shakespeare scholars held every other year. Ewert is the director of the theater program at Pitt-Bradford, where he teaches Introduction to Theater, Play Analysis, Movement and Stage Combat, Basic and Advanced Acting, and Shakespearean Performances. In addition, he directs the student production each semester. He lives in Bradford with his wife and son.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Sept. 6, 2010 — Author Rebecca Skloot will discuss her best-selling book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” during a public lecture at St. Bonaventure University Wednesday, Sept. 29. The program begins at 7 p.m. in the Reilly Center Arena and will be followed by a book signing. Skloot’s fi rst book hit No. 5 on the New York Times’ best-seller list less than a week after its February publication date. Amazon.com has named “The Immortal Life” one of the 10 “Best Books of the Year,” and Oprah Winfrey and Alan Ball have teamed up with HBO to create the fi lm version of the book. Buzz about the book has certainly spread across the St. Bonaventure campus, which selected the book last spring as its All Bonaventure Reads selection for 2010-2011. First-

‘The Immortal Life’Best-Selling Author Scheduled to Meet and Greet at SBU

year students at St. Bonaventure received copies of the book at Orientation, and will engage in conversations and activities in their University 101 courses and various campus-wide events during the academic year. “We are enjoying enthusiastic responses to our All Bonaventure Reads selection of ‘The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,’” said Jean Trevarton Ehman, chair of the All Bonaventure Reads committee and director of the university’s Teaching and Learning Center. “Our campus community has embraced Skloot’s storytelling ability, as she expertly wove a complicated story into an engaging, page-turning revelation that captivates readers.” The Olean-area community is invited to read the book and attend Skloot’s upcoming lecture.

“The Immortal Life” is the enthralling story of Henrietta Lacks, the forgotten woman behind one of the most important tools in modern medicine, and of Lacks’s descendants, many of whom feel betrayed by the scientifi c establishment. Lacks, who died of cervical cancer in 1951, is the source of the HeLa cell line, the fi rst human cells able to reproduce on their own in the laboratory. The book speaks to many themes — medical ethics, scientifi c research, the experience of African Americans in the second half of the 20th century, and the availability and cost of health care. “Importantly, the book speaks to the Franciscan values underlying an SBU education, and we believe that the students

Up Close & PersonalCarl Paladino: Lawyer Turns Developer, Turns Man for the People

Inside Business TrackKiersz: Manager of the Wingate by Wyndham Promotes Ellicottville

BY NICHOLAS PIRCIO,WPIG, 95.7 FM

Carl Paladino was in between campaign stops on the day before Primary Day and spoke from his car before heading on to a rally in Rochester. Yes, said his campaign manager, he’ll give you a call to talk with “The Villager” about his roots, his business career, and his campaign for governor of New York. The political race, understandably, was uppermost on Paladino’s mind. He expressed his now-familiar theme of, “We’re mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” when speaking about the state of state government. But he also spoke about growing up in Buffalo and his business career. He added that, “We are very happy with the (Wingate) Hotel,” one of his interests and the subject of a related story in this week’s edition.

Paladino explains how he started in business. “When I came out of the Army, I started the general practice of law. I did this for about fi fteen years. And then I slowly evolved into the real estate development business. Today, we have a company that employs 250 people. We manage, develop and lease about fi ve million square feet of real estate.” The properties, owned by the Ellicott Development Company, are located across upstate New York and western Pennsylvania. When asked why he is going into politics, Paladino says he is not. His words are “I’m not going into politics. I’m going to serve the people of the State of New York for four years. This is the fi rst and last time I will run for public offi ce. My intent is to go there. I will slash spending by twenty percent and re-structure the government. I am going to cut taxes by ten percent in the fi rst six months.

We’re going to cut Medicaidby $20-billion. We’re going toprovide jobs for both the skilledand unskilled people. And we’regoing to root out governmentcorruption. We’ll appoint aspecial prosecutor to do that.” One could argue thatgovernment and business arenot alike, but Paladino stressesthe importance of his businessexperience in making thedecision to run for governor. Hestates, “What better backgroundcould you want than a personwho’s been managing somethingfor his entire career? For thirty-seven years I’ve managed acompany from scratch to be asuccessful company. I knowwhat it is to negotiate. I’m alawyer and know what the lawsare and how to interpret them.What I know best is how tosupervise people. “ Why serve only four yearsin offi ce? “In four years I’llbe tired, I can see it now.The government will be veryconfrontational. It’s not goingto be pretty.” Paladino feels theresults will be worth the effort.“Hopefully it’s (the changes)going to spur on the economyand provide good fulfi lling jobsin the private sector for all theyoung people straining to fi ndjobs.” Refl ecting on his years asan entrepreneur, Paladino said,“My feet would hit the groundrunning in the morning andworked until late at night. Ienjoyed my work. I’ve knowna lot of people in life who don’tenjoy what they do every day,which is unfortunate.” As for his early years growingup in a Buffalo neighborhood,Paladino says, “I had a goodset of values given to me by awonderful father and mother.My dad was an immigrant. Hecame over, he earned it. Hetaught me a tremendous amountof values which I attribute to mysuccess. He struggled…he wasa very humble man.”

Paladino explains how he started in business. “When I came out of the Army, I started the general practice of law. I did this for about fi fteen years. And then I slowly evolved into the real estate development business. Today, we have a company that employs 250 people, including the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel here in Ellicottville. When asked why he is going into politics, Paladino says he is not. His words are “I’m not going into politics. I’m going to serve the people of the State of New York for four years. This is the fi rst and last time I will run for public offi ce.

BY NICHOLAS PIRCIO WPIG, 95.7 FM

“Be Happy in Your Work.” It’s a line from the memorable novel, Bridge over the River Kwai, made into a major motion picture in 1957. The circumstances of working at an attractive holiday destination in Ellicottville are far removed from the conditions portrayed in Pierre Boulle’s absorbing story, but the words themselves seem to be taken to heart by the woman

who manages the Wingate By Wyndham. Shanell Kiersz is enthusiastic and sincere when talking about her job, which by her account keeps her plenty busy. How did she get the job? “Basically they needed a new sales manager and I applied!” She started four years ago on April third, and was hired by Buffalo developer and gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino, who remains a partner in the business under Ellicott Development. Kiersz is in charge of all sales and marketing at the Wingate by Wyndham in Ellicottville. This involves all group sales, printed materials, newspaper promotions and a web site. “I do all our blogging and e-mail blasts.” Kiersz puts together a variety of packages to attract visitors. “Some are standard like golf, skiing, and romance.” Then there are the side packages assisting different people in town. She’ll be working with the Silver Fox Steakhouse to host the Finger Lakes Distillers Dinner on September 24th and with the upcoming Beer and Wine Fest in November. Kiersz says she works and will continue to work with any local businesses to “attract more people into the village, not just into the hotel, but into the event they are having.” She says this teamwork approach works “very well.” How does Shanell Kiersz come up with her ideas? She is extremely observant and will often times create

her own packages based on other ideas. From a marketing standpoint, she comes up with the designs and chats with the person doing the artwork to determine what they are trying to sell, depending on the season. As she puts it, “Any reason to get them to Ellicottville!” She notes that once people arrive, they quickly discover there is plenty to see and do. Although starting out with just one hotel, Kiersz now works on sales and marketing for fi ve hotels in an area that stretches from Ellicottville to Niagara Falls. The group includes the Days Inn Hotel near the Buffalo Airport, the Hampton Inn and Staybridge Suites in West Seneca, and the Giacomo boutique hotel in Niagara Falls . This means quite a bit of travel for Kiersz. “I’m often in Buffalo working at our other properties.” Kiersz manages to fi nd time to network with other travel professionals through various groups in the Buffalo-Niagara region. “It’s a great way to meet people.” She belongs to six Chambers of Commerce, which she sees as a “nice way to spread the word to say I’m here to help you.” She is also the Recording Secretary of BNTP, Buffalo Niagara Travel Professionals. Does she play golf to connect with people? An avid golfer, Kiersz says, “If my boss would pay for it I would!” She always helps out with golf outings. And yes, she loves her job.

Kiersz started four years ago in April, and was hired by Buffalo developer and gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino, who remains a partner in the business under Ellicott Development. Kiersz is in charge of all sales and marketing at the Wingate by Wyndham in Ellicottville. This involves all group sales, printed materials, newspaper promotions and a web site.

Wearing poodle skirts, listening to The Supreme’s on the radio and rocking out to American Bandstand music – bringing back any memories? Well this Saturday, September 18, The Diva Show Band will be recreating some of the fondest memories from back in the day right before your eyes. The seven-member band will be performing two sets on Saturday; the fi rst from noon to 1 p.m. and the second from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. “We try to put something in their for everyone,” said Chris McMahon, founder of the band. “We play a wide range of music … the 40s, 50s, 60s, disco, Motown, 80s and even some current music.” The Diva Show Band offers you much more than just “karaoke” singing where there is prerecorded music in the background, but live music. The band consists of Danielle Calato, Sherri Mex and Nicole Zahn as the three “Divas;” Rick Allen on the keyboards and vocals; Steve Lopez playing the bass; a man only by the name of Henry playing the guitar and singing vocals; and Chris McMahon on the drums. McMahon said that people will be able to enjoy more than just the music during the band’s performance. “When we do the one hour set, the girls will change three times; there’s no dead time,” McMahon said. “The girls go in and change and the guys take over and do their guy stuff.” The three divas will be

changing three times throughout the fi rst set, and then four to fi ve times during the next set. The girls will dress up in different costumes that best represent the music they are singing, whether it’s a few poodle skirts or some “Supreme” gowns. “There will be something for the ears as well as the eyes,” McMahon said. The Diva Show Band will be performing different songs from the oldies era, such as “Surfi n in the USA,” “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “Rock Around the Clock,” “Twist and Shout” and many other oldies hits. The band will also play some medleys

from the most popular artists from the day such as a Donna Summers and The Supremes. As this is the fi rst time the band will be performing at this festival, it is very excited, McMahon said. “We always go down to the festivals and every time we’re down there it is just such a good atmosphere … we’re a perfect fi t for it (the festival),” McMahon said. So have your hips ready to get down and boogie this Saturday as the family fun and friendly group takes the Winery of Ellicottville Mainstage outside on Monroe Street.

The seven-member band will be performing two sets on Saturday; the fi rst from noon to 1 p.m. and the second from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. “We try to put something in their for everyone,” said Chris McMahon, founder of the band. “We play a wide range of music … the 40s, 50s, 60s, disco, Motown, 80s and even some current music.” “When we do the one hour set, the girls will change three times; there’s no dead time,” McMahon said. “The girls go in and change and the guys take over and do their guy stuff.” The three divas will be changing three times throughout the fi rst set, and then four to fi ve times during the next set.

For the past six years, Outback Kettle Korn has been providing Ellicottville with a delicious snack, but does anyone really know about the family behind the business? On Aug. 15, 2009 the Stanzs’

life went from being focused on the business to being focused on something more important – their son. That day, John Stanz’s son Johnny, 27, was injured in Afghanistan. While out on a mission to

capture various members of Al-Qaeda during the time of the tense elections in Afghanistan last year, Johnny’s Humvee was exploded by and IED, an improvised explosive device. “Returning out of the village they’d (Al Qaeda) been waiting for them and when his (Johnny’s) vehicle went over the landmine they exploded it,” father John Stanz said. “It threw his Humvee 50 feet with him in it and he hit the ground fi rst and the Humvee landed about two feet from where he hit.” As a result of the explosion,

Johnny suffered severe traumatic brain injury, nerve damage to both arms, several broken bones, including multiple facial fractures, and a dislocated knee. His brain was swollen three times the normal size and was placed into a medical induced coma to try to reduce the swelling. “He had to be on a ventilator for the fi rst fi ve weeks that he was in the hospital, he had to be fed through a tube and they had to trach him because he couldn’t breath on his own,” Stanz said. While still at the hospital,

Johnny started to show signs of improvement and movement, and was sent off the Moss Rehab in Philadelphia to take part in an intense rehabilitation program. Here, Johnny learned how to walk, talk, eat and do everything else people do on a daily basis. “It was like raising a baby again,” Stanz said. But the intense rehabilitation program paid off. Now Johnny only suffers issues when it comes to balance and his short-term memory, but besides that he can totally function. Johnny was a part of the 2nd

Marines Special Operations Battalion, or MSOB. “They make up about 1 percent of the military these people (special forces); they’re the best of the best … you don’t usually hear

about them too much.” Stanz said. “You hear of the Green Beret and others, but not these guys. There are only about 30 guys in this group.” When Johnny was able to return home in early December, a newly found organization called VetsH.E.R.D was there to help. H.E.R.D. stands for “Helping Empower Returning and Disabled Vets.” The organization was founded Nov. 11, 2009 standing on Massachusetts Ave, in Buffalo as Extreme Makeover Home Edition was renovating a house. “We were all standing around on a beautiful 65 degree day on Nov. 11. It was Veterans’ Day, and there were a couple vets standing with us and they said ‘ya know, there are a lot of guys who are out of work and need our help and no one’s doing anything. If we can build a house in one week, we can sure do a lot of rehab and rehabilitation for veterans who actually stood up for us,’” said Philip Arnold, president of VetsH.E.R.D. So less than a month later, VetsH.E.R.D. held a fundraiser to help offset the medical costs the family was incurring. They also helped to renovate the Stanz house so that Johnny could have a “junior” apartment; that is, have his own separate wing, and entrance to the house, but still be under the same roof of this parents. “Johnny, being a true warrior and marine, basically defi ed all the odds” through his

recovery, Arnold said. VetsH.E.R.D. is currently in the process of obtaining their not-for-profi t status from the U.S. government. Because the group is less than a year old they are still looking for volunteers and donations so that VetsH.E.R.D. can help more veterans. In less than a year, VetsH.E.R.D. has already helped half a dozen veterans get the help they need mentally, physically and emotionally, as well as help them fi ll out paperwork properly. “When being discharged people just want to be done and they’ll sign anything, but most of the time they don’t know what they are signing away – what they are giving up … we want them to see us so we can tell them what they qualify for and help them fi ll things out correctly,” Arnold said. At this moment, Johnny is still listed as an active member of the military and will be going through testing to see if he is able to be back on duty. Stanz does not know if Johnny will be going back overseas, but anything is possible because Johnny has already beaten all the odds. However, this weekend will be fun fi lled for Johnny as he goes up to Rochester to compete in a wounded warriors weekend and Outback Kettle Korn will be Rockin’ Oldies Weekend with a VetsH.E.R.D fundraising container for all those who wish to start giving back this weekend.

When John-ny was able to return home in December 2009 after recov-ering from an explosion in Afghanistan, the organization had raised enough funds to help renovate the Stanz house so that Johnny could feel more comfortable there.

Architectural DigestA Little Gem of a Ski Chalet

Which brings me to the whole point of this house: skiing. Built in 1990 by a ski loving Canadian family this chalet is a little gem of a ski cabin.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN THOMAS

I grew a little concerned driving up the twisting gravel road to 5 Dublin Terrace. It’s about as “out in the country” as you can get around here, and somewhere around the Ellicottville/Mansfi eld line. As the woods began to close in over the road, I found myself thinking, “What do they do in the winter?” I used to live not far from Donner Lake and thoughts of the Donner Parties travail are never far from my mind whenever the snow fl ies. Adding to my concern was that the property marker at the driveway indicates #15. Nevertheless my concerns were allayed when my tour guide informed me that the number 15 refers to fi re district zoning, and that each winter the neighbors’ pool their money and hire a plowing service to clear all the driveways in the area. Which brings me to the whole point of this house: skiing.

Built in 1990 by a ski loving Canadian family this

chalet is a little gem of a ski cabin. Getting out of my car I was enchanted by the green forest that surrounds and almost envelops the house. The house from the outside reveals nothing of the surprises within. Once inside I realized the house is bigger than I fi rst thought. Going into the main room I am struck at once by the size of the room and the charm of the décor. The fi rst thing I see is the blue tile fl oor that runs throughout the main living space; easy maintenance for a ski chalet in the woods and area rugs make the space cozy. The lofty ceiling adds dimension to the room. The knotty pine fi nish on the walls and ceiling is enhanced by a couple of skylights. On the opposite wall, over the sliding glass doors to the deck, a pair of peaked windows touch the ceiling and add to the sense of height. A large wood burning fi replace sets a comfy mood. On the left wall a set of windows shows the forest is close enough to touch. The room is casual and comfortable; I warmed to it instantly.

Over in the corner is the dining area. It easily accommodates a dining room table that seats six. Next to the breakfast bar it’s an informal setting, and a perfect place for exchanging exciting tails of fi nally conquering that terrifying novice trail. The high ceiling is echoed in the kitchen, and the blue countertops pick up shades from the fl oor. There is a microwave over the electric stove and the window over the double sink looks out to the forest. The maple cabinets blend with the knotty pine ceiling and provide a contrast to the blue counters and fl oor. A short fl ight of steps brings me up to the bedroom level. The master suite has the same lofty ceiling as in the living room. A ceiling fan spins over the bed. The bath is compact but nicely done and has a shower stall. There are two more bedrooms on this level and a full bath with a bathtub. Downstairs are two more bedrooms and a full bath bringing the total number of bedrooms to fi ve. (Don’t forget that when you have a place in snow country you get a lot of guests). Here there is a large

family room, big enough for a pool table and entertainment center. At the far end of the family room is the one thing no ski chalet should be without; a great big hot tub. The walls behind the tub and the steps leading up to it are wooden, giving the area a spa feeling. Mom and Dad can sooth their tired muscles and still enjoy what the kids are watching on the TV. This level also holds

the utility room with a washer and dryer. As I head back outside I notice the deck off the living room. It’s a triangle shape that juts into the forest. The trees form a green canopy over it. On a summer day it would be the perfect place to set up a hammock and take a lazy snooze. In short, winter or summer this is a little gem of a chalet; far enough out of

town you could almost feel like a pioneer. And, no, you’re not going to come across any remnants of the Donner Party.

Calling all skiers! It’s a great idea to start NOW to condition your body for the ski season to reduce your risk of injury and improve your ski performance. Let’s examine some exercises that can strengthen some of the muscles used in this exciting sport. Note: Prior to any exercise, please consult with your doctor, regarding your health status, if necessary. Small Ball Squeeze: This exercise focuses on strengthening

the inner thighs (adductors). In a sitting position, place an 8-10” ball between your inner thighs. Avoid sitting too far back if on a chair/bench in order to allow your inner thighs to complete the squeeze with minimal support from your glutes and hamstrings. Slowly exhale while squeezing the small ball with your inner thighs. At the maximum point of the squeeze, hold for 5+ seconds. Slowly release your squeeze, while inhaling. Complete 1-3 sets of 8-15 reps. Thigh extensions using a pulley/ band are geared to successfully strengthening your thighs. Sit fl at on the fl oor with your legs extended out in front. Your knees are slightly bent throughout the entire exercise with your toes pointed upward. Legs are hip-width apart for starting/ fi nishing positions. Avoid raising your glutes off the fl oor at any time. Keep your spine “tall”. Using both hands, hold the ends of a pulley/ band, while running it under your feet. Pull the ends of the pulley/ band tightly into your ribcage. (By tightening the pulley/ band, you can increase the intensity of the exercise.) Your elbows are tucked tightly into the sides of your torso. Inhale. Begin to exhale, while lifting one foot 2 -

4” up off the fl oor. Still exhaling, begin to extend your raised leg laterally (to the side). The pulley/ band should be tight. After holding for 5+ seconds, inhale and release the stretch of the pulley/ band. Complete 1-3 sets of 8-15 reps per leg. The Dumbbell Pullover: focuses on the pectorals, rhomboids, trapezius and triceps. Lie on your back, supinated on a Stability Ball/bench to create a horizontal surface with your torso. Avoid arching your lower back! With arms extended above your torso, hold one dumbbell in both hands. Slowly lower the dumbbell down behind your head. Avoid arching your lower back. Exhale while taking 5 seconds to push the weight back up over your pectorals to the start position. Complete 1-3 sets of 8-15 reps per set. Next week, we’ll look at additional exercises to effectively prepare you for the ski season!

BY DOUG ARROWSMITH

One small gesture of brotherhood was all it took to turn the tide. One truly earnest “what would Jesus do” moment and all the rhetoric and hostility were exposed as nothing more than clownish bigotry. For weeks now the volume has been turned to eleven. Voices on every conceivable side of the supposed “ground zero mosque” debate have been trying to out-shout each other. Tensions reached a boiling point when a cult in Florida threatened to burn a pile of Islamic holy books on 9/11. The day approached and, it seemed, a showdown was looming. Then it happened. Another church just outside of Memphis Tennessee, did the unexpected. They put a sign out front of their church. That’s all it took. Actually, most of what the Heartsong Church of Cordova Tennessee did took place a year ago but it took the idiocy of the rest of us to bring their actions to the attention of the rest of the world. While we were threatening to kill each other, the congregants of the

small evangelical church were breaking bread and worshiping with their Muslim brothers. Shocking! Christians acting like Christians and Muslims acting like Muslims. It seems peace has broken out in a most unlikely place. About a year ago, Pastor Steve Stone read a story in the paper about a group of Muslims that were trying to build an Islamic community center not far from his church. According to Stone he asked himself the simple question, “what would Jesus do?” Pastor Stone then placed a sign in the church’s front lawn. “Heartsong Church welcomes Memphis Islamic Center to the Neighborhood.” Just like that. A welcoming hand was all it took. That, however, is not the end of this story. When Pastor Stone heard that the Islamic center’s construction had been slowed and it wouldn’t be completed by Ramadan he did the unthinkable. He opened the doors to his church to the local Islamic community. Worship here, he said. And they did. Ever since then the two groups have gotten together every week for interfaith services, dinners and social gatherings. Muslims and Christians worshiping together in the same house. It seems we could all learn a thing or two from the good people of Cordova Tennessee. I look back on the events of the past couple weeks with a sense of humiliation. My God, this is not who we are. How did we allow it to come to this? People on both sides of the argument have been acting like morons. We have groups

confronting each other in the streets of New York dishonoring the memory of those who died on 9/11 and we have nut job cult leaders in Florida garnering international attention for threatening to burn the Koran and set human discourse back a couple hundred years. How did we let it come to this? I’ll tell you how. This is a media created problem that should have died two news cycles ago. All it would have taken was some honest reporting instead of the networks whoring themselves out for ratings by giving this story unneeded attention. All it would have taken was one honest network anchor to point out the fact that there already is a “Ground Zero Mosque.” It’s been there for years. There’s also one in the Pentagon! End of story. By the time these facts were pointed out it was to late. So what about the good folks in Cordova Tennessee? They could have remained passive observers but they didn’t. The leaders of the two church’s that, for a while, became one, decided they had to speak. Dr. Bashar Shala and Pastor Steve Stone told their story and those of us who listened hung our heads in shame. This is how Americans behave. We open our doors to our fellow citizens and we listen. We break bread together and we lay out the welcome mat for our neighbors. We don’t burn books. We don’t threaten each other and we don’t ridicule the beliefs of those who we see as being different. In other words, we act like adults not, as we have been, as petulant children. Open your eyes folks. The welcome mat is out.

BY ERIC HUND,UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AT

BRADFORD

The Village Planning Board held their monthly meeting Tuesday, Sept. 14. The board reviewed an application for a hanging sign outside of the Winery of Ellicottville. Owner Dominic Spicola said that the sign, which features the company logo on each side, would hang over the winery’s entrance. He said he would make the sign out of a PVC board sandwiched between two laminated posters, and he would frame the sign with real wood. Spicola said the clear laminated posters would withstand the weather, though the sign may discolor from exposure to sunlight. He added that the sign would most likely have to be replaced within a few years, and he was going the low cost route with this sign due to the high costs of the winery business at this time of the year. Spicola added he plans to mount two small lights under the buildings overhang, and aim them at each side of the sign. The board members voiced concern over the durability of the sign, since they were unfamiliar with the materials used to construct it. The members approved the sign on the condition that they reevaluate the signs condition at their May 2011 board meeting. The board was presented with a plan to fi nish a previously approved porch at 44 Mill St. The owner’s plans include removing shingles and replacing them with horizontal clapboard siding, brick siding for the chimney, and installing 6 by 6 wooden support posts and

double hung windows on the porch. The board members noted these plans were presented to them for the fi rst time during the meeting, and that they really need to receive the plans two weeks prior to their monthly meetings. They said they were reluctant to approve the plans because of this fact. They said the short notice is not fair to the applicants, since it forces the board to ask questions during the meeting that the applicant may not know the answer to, and that it makes the board look disorganized. The members recommended that they return to holding work sessions, in order to keep up with all relevant proposals. The members approved the plan, but some expressed concern stating they need to have all plans at least two weeks prior to the meetings. Lynn Riddell-Young and Jeff Young of 10 East Washington St. asked the board if it would be feasible for them to construct an addition to their home. Their proposed project would connect their home to their shed, and would include the construction of a 900 square foot two-story garage. They said they want to make the second story of the project a 700 square foot master bedroom. The board members noted the project might not meet size limits for their lot size, though it would not have any issues with the setback from lot lines. The board members informed them the project would probably need to be scaled back, but the basic plan was feasible, and they could move forward with developing a site plan. A village resident presented the board with a proposal to move the boundary line of his property so his neighbor would have a lot large enough to build on. The plan would have effectively divided the property so both individuals would have enough room on their lots for future projects.

The board informed the individuals the plan could not be carried out now, and the lots would have to be rezoned from an industrial zone to a medium density zone before the proposal could take place. The lots are located on Parkside Drive and fall within the zoning district that contained the old Larimer & Norton, Inc. baseball bat factory and the area is part of a fl ood plain. The board informed the individuals they have been discussing proposing a change from an industrial zone to a medium density zone for a while, along with a number of other zoning changes. The board members said the change makes sense because it is unlikely that any businesses would open factories on the land. They added that recently the owner of the Larimer property informed the village there has been some interest from individuals looking to buy the property to use for a housing development, and the board would like to see something done to encourage development on the land. The members said they would need to forward the recommendation to rezone the district to the Village Board of Trustees. Before the area can be rezoned, an environmental survey would need to take place, though the board members doubt any major chemical cleanups would need to take place. A lengthy process for rezoning would then start, whereby the village would have to inform owners of property within the zone, as well as all affected government agencies of the changes, and they would have to hold a public hearing. The said the process would take at least two to three months. The board accepted the proposal to recommend a rezoning of the district to the Board of Trustees. The board accepted the minutes from last month’s meeting.

history for current and future generations. “The Jefferson Street Cemetery depicts a cross section of the early settlers of our community. They range from our Veterans who served our country, to politicians, lawyers, businessmen, farmers, and families including infants and children. With the increased interest in genealogy, this will also be helpful to those researching their roots.” So what has to happen in order to fi x up the cemetery? Carucci says the fi rst order of business is to apply to the National Registry, to try and get the cemetery listed as a historical site and on the National Registry. Approval would free up money needed for grant approval. “Right now because of the economy, grant money has pretty well dried up. But once we’re on the national level, we may see that more money would become available to us.” Grant writer Lynda K. Stephens is spearheading the

effort. Getting on the National Registry is not easy. Carucci explains that it involves a lot of research and documentation. “The University of New York at Buffalo has agreed to assist us in that process, and so has Forest Lawn Cemetery in Buffalo. They went through the process several years ago and are familiar with it. We are excited about that.” Once national registration is approved and a grant written, the next step would be the actual preservation and restoration work. At the town level, Supervisor John Burrell plans to include money in the town budget this fall for improving the cemetery. The money would be in next year’s budget. He notes that the Jefferson Street Cemetery is one of the oldest in town, and is one of three cemeteries that are the responsibility of the Town of Ellicottville. “One (of the others) is the Bryant Hill Cemetery where we’ve just fi nished a multi-year renovation.” There’s also a cemetery located on Route 242 near HoliMont known as the Niles Cemetery. Burrell explained that the town assumed upkeep

over the years when cemetery associations became defunct. He notes, “The Jefferson Street Cemetery is actually in pretty good shape,” better than the one on Bryant Hill used to be. “It was terribly grown over and kind of in the woods. But it’s been restored, which is a wonderful thing.” Burrell feels the top priority for the Jefferson Street Cemetery is to repair the many old and fractured headstones. Burrell feels repairs will have to be primarily with town-budgeted monies. “We were able to do Bryant Hill with a couple of grants from the state. Those are no longer available, so we’ll try and put some money into our budget so that things can at least start on Jefferson Street. Hopefully because of the involvement of people like the Gail Carucci and Historical Society I think it will do well.” Burrell hopes that more interested people will “come to the forefront.” Descendents of those who are buried at the Jefferson Street Cemetery are being sought, along with any documentation, pictures, or letters.

in the incoming class of 2014 will have a rich opportunity to explore those values as they discuss the book in classes this fall,” said Dr. Nancy Casey, director of the First-Year Experience program. St. Bonaventure Provost Dr. Michael J. Fischer asked all incoming students, as their fi rst offi cial college assignment, to write a one- to two-page refl ection on the book. A group of faculty and staff are now

in the process of reading each paper and selecting a group of winning essays. Winners will be recognized and will have the chance to meet Skloot when she comes to campus. Also, as part of University 101 (a one-credit course for all fi rst-year students), freshmen will be refl ecting on a theme from the book and developing class or small-group projects that will be displayed during a Poster Session at the end of the semester. To read an excerpt of the book, visit rebeccaskloot.com. Visit www.sbu.edu/AllBonaventureReads.com for more information and a schedule of other All Bonaventure Reads

events. A reader’s resource guide developed by the All Bonaventure Reads Committee is also available online. Skloot is a science writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine; O, The Oprah Magazine; Discover; Columbia Journalism Review; and many other publications. She has explored a wide range of topics, including goldfi sh surgery, tissue ownership rights, food politics, and the perils of packs of wild dogs in Manhattan, and her essays have been widely anthologized. Skloot has a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences and a master of fi ne arts degree in creative nonfi ction.

Code Enforcement Offi cials gave permits to several local residents for construction of additions and the installation of a new exhaust fan at The Barn Restaurant. Several permits were issued to Sprague Development for the construction of apartment units at 38 Washington Street.

The remainder of the meeting was highlighted by a brief discussion of plans for the Fall Festival in the Village of Ellicottville as well as parking plans for the Classic Cars that have been entered in this weekend’s event. The Board concluded the meeting by approving the minutes from last months meeting and adjourned at 7:40 pm.

My name is Erica Walker. I am 35 years old.

To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you just may be the world. Thank you from the Western New York Kidney Connection.

I have most recently been attending Erie Community College in hopes of attaining my Registered Nursing degree. I have about another year before I complete it. However, I’ve decided to take a break from it while attending to my most recent illness. I am trying to be brave and stay healthy enough until I can receive a kidney transplant. Doctors say I’m fairly young to be diagnosed with CKD. I have been receiving dialysis treatments for about a year now. I worked at Interstate Baking Company for 10 years prior to the plant closing a few years back. They made Wonder Bread and Hostess products right here in Buffalo, NY. My boyfriend, Jim, and I have recently purchased and moved into our fi rst home. We’re very excited. Our plans are to marry and raise a family here in Cheektowaga. If you are blood type “A” and would like to be Erica’s living kidney donor, please call Jeanette Ostrom at 716-450-8958 or e-mail Erica at [email protected]

MJ Brown of Tangled Twigs has helped pull a committee together that raised $5,000 to purchase LED lights that will decorate our trees on Main and Monroe Streets. They will be left in the trees year-round with only the extension cord plug-in removed when not in use. The large snowfl akes that were purchased last year will also be put in place in time for this event. Committee chair JoAnne Timkey of Ellicottville Oasis believes the window displays should be one of the main attractions for this busy weekend. New this year is the Stick-Horse Parade. There will be make your own stick-horse sessions and prizes awarded for most creative. Breakfast with Santa will take place Saturday and Sunday at the Kelly House Lodge; they are still debating on whether to hold the event Friday or not.
