The trees are turning to brilliant hues, the days are cool and crisp, the geese are wending their way south, and that can mean only one thing; the return of Fall Festival. Washington, Monroe, and part of Jefferson streets will be taken over by a mini occupy movement of artists, crafters, vendors, and carnival rides Saturday and Sunday. This year all 350-exhibitor spaces are sold out, so there will be something to delight every taste. And speaking

of taste, don’t miss the food court on Jefferson; it will open on Friday from 6pm-midnight and reopen for Saturday and Sunday 10am-dark. Kids can enjoy carnival rides in the Washington Square Saturday and Sunday. There will be live music all day Saturday at the Ellicottville Brewing Company, featuring Big Leg Emma at 5:30pm; prelude to this event on Friday is Smack Dab at 7pm and Roots Collider at 10pm. On Sunday, Balloons will boast two fill days of music in the tent outback beginning Saturday at noon

and Sunday at one; highlighted by Yellow Dubmarine Sunday. Holiday Valley will host a weekend full of music, chairlift rides, mountain top cookouts, bike and 5K races, a tent sale, ski swap and will be running their Sky High Park and Mountain Coaster rides all weekend long. Back for its second year Shults Auto Group presents Ellicottville Idol. Here’s your chance to show off your fabulous singing voice. There are two categories: 21 and over, and 20 and under, so anybody who can belt out a tune is eligible. There are

cash and valuable prizes and the competition will be judged by a panel of local celebrity judges. The day is Sunday October 7th, registration is at the village gazebo starts at 10:00am and the competition is from 3 to 4pm. More information and a registration form are at www.ellicottvilleny.com Plan to come, relax, linger, and stroll among the many fine exhibit booths. Grab a bit to eat at the food court. While you’re here, once and a while look up at the surrounding hills and be glad that Summer ends in such incandescent glory.

Bush’s job at Holiday Valley is to create web videos of their upcoming events. Not only does she create the videos, but she stars in them to give viewers a personal account of what the upcoming events are. For example, in the Mudslide event done each spring, participants run a series of obstacle courses through the mud at Holiday Valley. In the Mudslide teaser video found on Holiday Valley’s website, she explains the event and also runs a series of obstacles herself, in all their muddy glory.

If we have to say goodbye to Summer, we might as well do it with a bang. This weekend the 7th annual Springville Oktoberfest promises to be a great way to send Summer in style. Break out your Lederhosen, grab your favorite stein, jump in your antique Mercedes, and head down to Fireman’s Park in Springville. Saturday, September 29

is the day from 2:00pm -10:00pm rain or shine. Admission is free. But you can’t have an Oktoberfest without beer, and the beer tent will be awash with great German beers to try. And you can’t have beer without food: Spar’s European Sausages, Bratwurst (locally made), Sauerkraut, German Potato Salad, and Pretzel Rolls, will all be on hand. For those who wish, there

A the last meeting of the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board Executive Director Richard Zink outlined the funding situation and programs currently underway.

through March 15th 2013. The resolution requires agencies receiving federal funds to outline how received funds will be allocated among various programs. The continuing resolution actually includes an 8 billion dollar increase in overall spending for most federal programs and services. The funding that will be received by

Work on the new Kwik Fill and Red Apple gas station and convenience store is continuing in Ellicottville. And developer William Paladino is pleased with the progress being made. He said, “We are hoping to get the Kwik Fill open by the end of October.” As for the other buildings, Paladino says work will continue through the winter. “We hope to get those buildings in shape so we can lease them out sometime in early spring (of 2013).” As for the interest in those buildings, Paladino feels that to date, there has been a decent amount of interest,

which should grow. “Once we start making some improvements to the exteriors, and show people what it’s really going to look like, there will be a lot more (interest). We’re very excited about the project, and we’re very excited about the prospects.” Paladino is the principal partner in a Buffalo company, 4646 Group, which is constructing a $5.3-million project in downtown Ellicottville. The new Kwik Fill and Red Apple gas station and convenience store is moving across Mill Street from its former site. The new location will feature more gas pumps and greater efficiency for

Martina McBride (born July 29, 1966) is an American country music singer and songwriter. McBride has been called the “Céline Dion of Country Music” for her big-voiced ballads and soprano range. McBride was signed to RCA Records in 1991, and made her debut the following year as a neo-traditionalist country singer with the single, “The Time Has Come”. Over time, she developed a pop-styled crossover sound, similar to that of Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and has had a string of major hit singles on the Billboard country chart and

It’s an eye sore that’s been hard to miss as you come into Ellicottville on Jefferson St. but the large building that was once the steel furniture plant of Signore is gone. Since the beginning of August bulldozers have been busy taking down the building that has been closed since 2006. The morning of September 25 marked the near end of the demolition project. This has been a long time coming. The site was previously used as a former manufacturing facility that fabricated metal lockers and cabinets. Contamination

Demo Nearly CompleteOld Signore Building Almost Gone

from spills, leakage and other plant operations was addressed in the late 80s and early 90s. To remedy the issue, Signore had to use on site ground water extraction and treatment systems and long term groundwater monitoring. According to the Department of Environmental Conservation, in 2002 Signore was granted permission to discontinue the use of the onsite groundwater pump because the groundwater contaminate concentrations were non detect or below State drinking water standards. Signore ceased operations and abandoned the facility in 2006.

In 2008 Iskalo Ellicottville Holding purchased the property and entered the Brownfield Cleanup Program in 2011. Iskalo Development Corp. of Amherst will now be able to clean up any contamination that remained on site. An additional investigation is also scheduled to begin following the demolition of the building to assess additional contamination issues. There are no definite plans for what will now rise above the rubble that was once Signore; however the developer is proposing mixed residential / commercial use of the area.

Winery Of EllicottvillePrivate Fall or Winter Winery Tour And Chocolate Pairing For Two

Super villains get a bad rap, but sometimes turning towards E-ville can be a good thing. Give into temptation and head down the 219 for a tour of the Winery of Ellicottville.

Check out this year’s harvest of yarn and rovings. “When we started raising alpacas 10 years ago,” Paul recalls, “visitors had no idea what an alpaca was, where they came from or why we raise them. We like to make our farm an ‘Alpaca Adventure’ for visitors to see these magnificent animals up close and learn their history and what great products we can harvest with out harming them.” Although 80% of alpacas are white, you would not know it by seeing the Mager’s her. Alpacas come in 23 natural colors and their herd seems to have most of them. Their herd of 32 alpacas and 2 llamas also include 5 rare grey alpacas and 10 baby alpacas. Sue adds, “People love to watch the crias (baby alpacas) run and play. Sometimes I even let people hold one. Their faces light up with huge smiles and they always say, oh they are So Soft.” The Open house celebration will run Saturday Sept 29th and Sunday the 30th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mager Mountain Alpacas are located on Mountain View Drive off Routes 242 and 353 as you enter the east end of Little Valley, For more information visit www.magermountainalpacas.com or phone 716-938-9077

Klausen will give his insight into building a career as a set designer for the stars of Hollywood, Broadway and the entertainment world such as Cher, Elton John, Liza Minnelli and Elizabeth Taylor. Klausen won three Emmy Awards, two for designing the sets for “The Academy Awards” and one for a TV special with Cher. He received nine additional Emmy nominations. Klausen’s appearance coincides with an ongoing exhibition at The Quick Center, “From Hollywood to Broadway,” which features a collection of set models of his work on Broadway, along with images of his spectacular creations for television. The exhibition, curated by Sean Conklin, assistant curator of the Quick Center, is on view in the Paul and Toni Branch Gallery

on the first floor of the Quick Center until Nov. 18. A 1967 graduate of the Drama School of Yale University, Klausen has a long resume of theater and television credits, including Broadway, off-Broadway and international productions. Over the years he has designed more than 400 shows. Some of his many accomplishments include sets for “The Academy Awards” (seven years); “The Tony Awards;” “The Emmy Awards;” “The Grammy Awards;” “The American Music Awards” (26 years); “The Gala of the President at Ford’s Theater” (six years); “The Kennedy Center Honors” (14 years); “The American Film Institute” (10 years); “A Night of 100 Stars;” TV specials for Bing Crosby, Neil Diamond, Lynda Carter, the Muppets, Natalie Cole, Quincy Jones, President Clinton and Elvis Presley; “The Miss America Pageant” (seven years); and designs for the Bally show girls in Las Vegas. For the Broadway stage, he designed “Brooklyn: The Musical;” “Burn the Floor;” “On Golden Pond;” “Waiting in the Wings,” with Lauren Bacall; “Bea Arthur: Between Friends;” and “Liza Minelli at the Palace,” to name a few. Far from retirement, Klausen has upcoming projects in New York and London and his design for the New York Philharmonic’s production of “Carousel” will be shown on Public Television in February. In addition to the afternoon’s public talk, Klausen will meet

with SBU Theater students 8:30 a.m. in Garret Theater on campus, said Ludwig Brunner, interim executive director of The Quick Center. “In meeting Mr. Klausen personally during the last year, I learned that at this stage in his astounding career there is one thing dear to his heart: giving back,” said Brunner. “He loves to meet and talk with students to give his advice on how to start a career, build it by always maintaining the highest standards, taking risks and, most of all, dedication to the job. I think students and people of all ages will find this an exciting afternoon. We are very proud and grateful that Mr. Klausen has agreed to visit St. Bonaventure University.” In the evening, The Quick Center will present a fundraising event, “Emmy Night at the Quick Center,” in honor of Klausen, starting with cocktails at 6:30 p.m. and dinner on the stage at 7:30 p.m. Proceeds will benefit the establishment of a Visiting Masters Fund to enable similar programs in the future. A few single tickets at $75 are still available for the event. For reservations, call Juliana Bordonaro at 716-375-2464. The Quick Center’s galleries are open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Museum admission is free and open to the public year round.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y.,— Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra with conductor Daniel Hege will perform at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 30, in the second concert of the Friends of Good Music season at St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. This will be the orchestra’s first return to the Friends of Good Music series in 20 years. In keeping with the season’s “Celebrate New York!” theme, RPO will perform two works by New York composers: Aaron Copland’s “Appalachian Spring” and “Rounds for String Orchestra” by Rochester-born David Diamond. After intermission, Hege will conduct Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2. Founded by George Eastman in 1922, Rochester Philharmonic enter its 90th year committed to “enriching and inspiring

our community through the art of music,” and to maintaining its “high standard of artistic excellence, unique tradition of musical versatility, and deep commitment to education and community engagement.” The RPO received the New York State Governor’s Arts Award for excellence and community service in 2002. On three occasions, in 2005, 2006 and 2012, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and the American Symphony Orchestra League honored the RPO with an ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, recognizing the orchestra’s commitment to music written in the last 25 years. Most recently, the RPO was honored by Women’s Philharmonic Advocacy with the first-ever Amy Award for Excellence in Orchestral programming for Music Director Arild Remmereit’s commitment to featuring works by women composers. Today, the RPO presents nearly 200 concerts per year, serving an estimated 250,000 people through ticketed events, education and community engagement activities, and concerts in schools and community centers. As one of the great American orchestras, the RPO aspires to be “an institution driven by a culture of confidence, adventure, excellence, and success; the premier cultural organization in the region and the hub of cultural life year round; and recognized nationally for artistic and organizational excellence, creativity, and innovation.” Conductor Hege is a familiar presence at The Quick Center through his several appearances with the former Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, which

he served as music director for 11 years. In June 2009, he was appointed music director of the Wichita Symphony, beginning his tenure with that orchestra in September 2010.Hege has guest conducted the Houston, Detroit, Seattle, Indianapolis, Oregon, Colorado, San Diego, Columbus and Phoenix symphonies; the Rochester, Buffalo and Calgary philharmonics; and at the Grand Teton and Aspen music festivals. International engagements include leading the Singapore Symphony and the St. Petersburg Symphony at the Winter Nights Festival. This performance is supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts. Subscription tickets for the entire season are still available. A basic subscription, which includes one ticket to six concerts, is $99 ($81 for senior citizens). Extended subscription options include a seventh concert for a total of $109 ($89 for senior citizens) and an eighth concert for a total of $119 ($97 for senior citizens). Single concert tickets are $20 at full price, $16 for St. Bonaventure staff and senior citizens, and $5 for students. For tickets and information, call The Quick Center box office at (716) 375-2494. For each Friends of Good Music performance, The Quick Center will open its galleries one hour before the performance and keep them open throughout the intermission. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Museum admission is free and open to the public year round.

Area families will soon be able to come together to experience a wilderness vacation by visiting the Woods at Bear Creek Family Resort. The Woods at Bear Creek is a 750-acre resort that is set to open in the spring. It will feature 16 “glamping” climate-controlled cabins with hot showers, 12 “glamping” tents, more than 12 miles of nature trails, activities, events and the future possibility of an upscale recreational vehicle park, along with more cabins and tents. Construction of the site, located minutes from Ellicottville is set to begin in October, so weddings, conferences and banquets can also be held there by fall. The site of a former Buffalo Jewish Community facility, where hundreds of children experienced camping, the Woods at Bear Creek was purchased in 2011 by Entrepreneur and Business Developer John Hutchins. He will serve as resort chief executive officer and be joined by the management team of Ken Pawlukovich, president; Jim Henzler, vice-president of

operations; Ronn Tritto, vice-president of marketing and development, and Robert Irwin, facilities manager. All have experience in the entertainment, hospitality or marketing fields, but have turned their attentions to the new endeavor. “Hutchins’ passion is to have glamping motivate area families to come together for a wilderness vacation that provides plenty of opportunity for family fun and bonding,” said Tritto. “The Woods at Bear Creek will offer the region an additional lodging and tourism experience,” he said, adding resort officials will reach out to Ellicottville-area businesses to collaborate and partner on package deals and activities, while offering a unique outdoor experience. That experience is all about glamping, which, they report, is “a growing global phenomenon” that combines camping with the luxury and amenities of a home or hotel.“Glamping allows travelers to experience nature without the hassle of finding camp space, carrying their tents and erecting and taking down their own tents,” said Tritto.“Its fresh air in absolute leisure,”

he said. Tritto said the management team’s focus is to provide guests with a relaxing vacation, along with get-a-way experiences that will create lifelong memories. “Turn off the cell phone, add a do-not-disturb sign to your text messaging, set aside your child’s DS and explore the tranquility and beauty of Ellicottville,” he said, adding the resort presents a perfect setting to reconnect and bond. In fact, reports the resort’s website, exhilaration is “the feeling you get when the only thing coming between you and your Smart Phone is a zip line.” In addition to that zip line, featured activities include hiking, wildlife tours, a 20-acre spring-fed lake with its fishing, kayaking and canoeing, an Olympic-sized pool, tennis courts, athletic fields, skiing, horseback riding, a drive-in movie theater, campfires, massage therapy and more. There will be themed weekends, concerts, wine and beer tasting, fitness weekends, hayrides, reunions, weddings, girls’ night out packages and more. Meals will also be available in casual and formal dining settings, along with all-inclusive meal packages from which campers can choose. Other guests are also invited to dine without camping in the restaurant that overlooks the lake.For more information, visit www.thewoodsatbearcreek.com

While some people have normal, routine jobs, there are others who get to have different experiences every time they prepare for work. Gweniviere Bush, who works for Holiday Valley, gets to embark on something new every time she goes to work. Bush’s job at Holiday Valley is to create web videos of their upcoming events. Not only does she create the videos, but she stars in them to give viewers a personal account of what the upcoming events are. For

example, in the Mudslide event done each spring, participants run a series of obstacle courses through the mud at Holiday Valley. In the Mudslide teaser video found on Holiday Valley’s website, she explains the event and also runs a series of obstacles herself, in all their muddy glory. Bush, who has been helping create these videos since last spring, said that she has a specific mission for each one created. “My goal with these videos is to be informative, yet entertaining,” Bush said. “We create these videos so people have an opportunity to see everything that offered at Holiday Valley in an entertaining way they’ll remember.” The videos are usually a minute to two minutes long, and when feature videos are done on events, they usually run about three minutes long. In the summer, Bush said that updates are typically done once or twice a month and during ski season, updates are done once a week to every other week. “During ski season, there’s events happening literally every weekend, so we have a lot more action and opportunity with the videos,” she said.

Bush said that the process for creating one of the videos is pretty basic, as she meets with the marketing team so she knows what they want to be covered, then she works with the videographer, Ashley Baron, to figure out how she wants to convey the event via video and then create the video. “Typically, we just figure out what we want to say, and what we think would be entertaining to an audience, and then put it into a video form and then go from there,” Bush said. After she and Baron shoot the videos, they are edited and then put up on the website. Bush said that upcoming events at Holiday Valley include a Fall festival event, a wine and beer event festival and some mountain biking opportunities. “Holiday Valley is a great place that has fun opportunities for everyone, so it’s my job to make sure that everyone sees what is going on and what we have to offer,” Bush said. To check out Bush’s videos and for information on upcoming events at Holiday Valley, go to their website at www.holidayvalley.com, and then go to their Video/Media page.

sTory and PhoTos ByJohn ThomassTaff WriTer

I’m driving up a winding road through a forest so thick I begin to wonder if I should watch for Ewoks. But the most exotic life I come across is a deer, who takes off the moment he spots me. At the top of the hill I spot the house through the forest, a great blue and gray structure. Standing in a clearing the house looks like a barn from the outside. Off one end of the home is a garage and a cover for the large pile of fire wood. The gabled metal roofs of the garage and the house are a pale blue to match the sky. Over the garage is a spare rec room or bedroom. Approaching the front door it seems to be a large barn style home, but the exterior gives no hint of the spectacular inside. Inside is a triumph of timber frame construction. Just past the entryway the vaulted ceiling looms high overhead. Looking down from the wood paneled ceiling my eye traces down the huge exposed beams along the walls and down to the windows on the far wall. My eye comes to rest on a beautiful brass electric candelabra. It is high over my head, and yet I notice it’s only about a third of the way up the

massive river rock chimney for the wood burning fireplace; the ceiling is that high. Just outside the sliding glass doors is a large deck with a forest view. Like all timber frame homes, the woodwork throughout the home is incredible. The kitchen is to die for; a professional grade workspace with a six burner gas stove with a griddle and a swing arm that delivers hot water to fill a soup pot on the stove. The stone floor and wood cabinetry make the space as elegant as it is functional. Just off the kitchen is a large mud room that connects to the garage. It also contains two more ovens for entertaining

a crowd. Just off the living room is a palace of a master bedroom. Its post and beam ceiling and cherry floors create a warm atmosphere. The master bath has a large whirlpool tub. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, each featuring handsome woodwork, and a full bath. The bottom floor has a rec room, two more bedrooms, and a full bath. A sliding glass door leads out to the hot tub. At 7200 square feet, 5+ bedrooms, and 4.5 baths, this is not a small home. When you figure in the oversized two car garage, with a separate entrance for the lawn mower, and a separate barn for all the power toys, you realize it could be your own private wonderland.

Your nervous system is amazingly complex, especially your brain, which contains about 100 billion neurons, scientists say there are more neurons in the brain than stars in the sky. The brain has a high metabolism and is highly affected by what you eat. Research has shown that food choices made during pregnancy, lactation and early childhood may have long term consequences on a child’s mental development. Other research suggests that good nutrition can improve your brain function (and reduce your risk of brain disorders).The phrase, “you are what you eat” particularly applies to the brain. A “junk” food diet short-circuits your mental attitude and your emotional responses, creating, in effect, a “trashy” brain! It’s no wonder that nervous system disorders like stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia affect millions of Americans. The nervous system consists of your brain, your spinal column and your peripheral nerves, the nervous system helps regulate everything happening in your body, whether it is consciously or unconsciously. Nerves work by a combination of electrical impulses and chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. The discovery of neurotransmitters has greatly altered our understanding of nervous system problems. We know now that sleep, mood appetite and behavior are influenced by the different types of transmitter chemicals being released in our nerves and brain. Depression, addiction, mania,

schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and ADHD are some of the major disorders now known to involve imbalances in neurotransmitters. Your nervous system is probably the most nutritionally sensitive system in the body. Long before you develop actual physical conditions from poor nutrition, you will feel the mental and emotional effects of a lack of good nutrition. These include fuzzy thinking (“brain fog”), absentmindedness, mental confusion and nervousness. Later they develop into more serious problems such as chronic insomnia, anxiety, depression and memory loss. So, it becomes very helpful to understand how to nourish this important system properly. The brain is 70% water; so it is very sensitive to dehydration, so if you want to think clearly and protect your grey matter, start by drinking ½ ounce of pure water for every pound of body weight every day. (That’s 75oz or a little more than a half-gallon for an average 150-pound person). Next, 50-60% of the “dry” weight of the brain is fat, with 35% of that fat being omega-3 fatty acids. So, it is crucial to supplement your brain with omega-3 oils from fish like Super Omega-3 or vegetable sources like Flax Seed Oil. You can also find this essential fatty-acids in hemp seeds, chia seeds, avocados, salmon fish, ground flax seed, sardines, black walnuts, organic raw coconut oil, to mention a few. Besides fat, the brain also needs amino acids from protein. The neurotransmitters we mentioned earlier are built from aminoacids. Meals containing adequate protein tend to increase levels of dopamine and norepinephrine (which results in a more alert mind and a better mood). It is also believed that low levels of dopamine can bring tendencies to develop Parkinson’s disease. A Protein powder like Nutri-Burn is a high quality protein formula that includes all the essential aminoacids as well as Bee Pollen and the formula Free Aminoacids. Also, foods high on B-Vitamins are essential for lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia; good supplements for this support are Bee Pollen and Spirulina. The brain needs sugar as

an energy source, but simple sugars like candy, white pastas, soda, pops, desserts, etc., actually contribute to “brain fog and mental decline. So, make sure you choose complex carbohydrates contained in vegetables, fruits and whole grains and avoid foods containing refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour and other processed grains. Be sure to include high quality protein and fats with meals as they stabilize blood sugar levels and keep the brain working better. It is crucial to understand the importance of preventing toxicity and to keep learning how to nurture this wonderful system. Toxins can seriously damage the brain, especially fat-soluble toxins (such as petrochemical solvents). Since the nervous system is composed primarily of fats, anything that will dissolve fats and oils such as stain removers, gasoline and other solvents can easily penetrate the skin and affect the nerves. Besides environmental toxicity your nervous system is challenged with other factors. The most common ones are stress and anxiety. The stress response involves a shift in the nervous system that causes the pupils to dilate, allowing more light to enter for clearer vision. The digestive process stops because this is not time to be sitting down for lunch! And most important, the heart rate increases to get lots of oxygen and nutrition to the muscles—you need to run or fight for your life! These responses are supported by the adrenal glands, which release stress hormones, including more epinephrine and cortisol. The continuous activation of the stress response, over and over again, has a cumulative effect, leads to a feeling of “burn out,” a state of emotional and nervous exhaustion.There are supportive formulas like Nervous Fatigue, Stress Relief, Nutri-Calm and Mind Max that feed your nervous system and brain all day with the most high quality herbal nutrients. Who wouldn’t want to be calm and happy through the day and sleep well at night?Louise Hay’s affirmations for the brain and nervous system: “I am the loving operator of my life”. “I communicate with ease and with joy”.

My parents have worked their tails off their entire lives. When I was growing up they were out the door every morning by six. Eight, nine or even ten hours later they would come home, fix dinner and we would settle down to what, it turns out, was and is a very normal American life. We never went hungry but there were times when I remember Mom counting and rolling change or sorting empty cans to be returned later. Now, all these years later, after a lifetime of hard work, well earned paychecks and occasional struggle, after raising me and being able to send their only son off to college, my folks are finally reaching that supposed payoff point. Retirement. Unfortunately for them, the man who wants to be President of the United States of America, Mitt Romney, says it’s not his job to worry about them. They have unwittingly joined the ranks of Mitts “dependent” 47 percent. The folks that Mitt says will never be convinced to care for themselves. This is the very reason Mitt Romney must never be allowed to set foot in the oval office.

We’ve all seen the speech by now. Mitt standing in front of a room full of wealthy donors writing off almost half the country as moochers. Unfortunately for Mitt, some of those 47% were busy clearing tables, taking orders, bussing tables and bartending at this event. One of these unwashed souls had a camera phone and got busy recording the end of Mitt Romney’s political career. Mitt’s inability to separate the one or two percent of the population that actually sets out to get a free ride, from the rest of America, the America that works hard every day but sometimes still needs help, that inability to understand struggle points to the very core of who Mitt Romney really is. So, lets break it down. Who are these people that Mitt so disdainfully dismisses? Well, first off there’s the elderly. Remember them? The Greatest Generation? Folks who have worked all their lives, sometimes served in the military and fought for their country? Remember them? They have paid into Social Security and Medicare their whole working lives and are now being told that they’re part of the entitlement class for having the audacity to believe that they should get some of that money back! Some of these very moochers managed to build the country we live in today by taking advantage of so called entitlement programs like the Civilian Conservation Corp and the GI Bill. The audacity. Then there’s the working poor. The folks Mitt comes into contact with every day but doesn’t see. They don’t exist in his world. People who work but still don’t

manage to make enough money to pay payroll taxes. Oh they pay their taxes, just not the ones Mitt wants them to pay. They bring him food, pump his gas, fight his wars. None of that matters to Mitt. Get a real job. Stay at home mothers? I’m constantly hearing Conservatives tell tales of this mythical America they seem to remember. An America where Men were the bread winners and women raised the family. That oh so distant Ward and June Cleaver existence. Now, however, June would be written off no matter what she did. She’s either dependent for not having a job or she’s shirking her duties as a wife and mother by getting a job. There are many more individuals and groups who, at some point in their lives, end up receiving some sort of Government assistance. Myself included. I went to school with the help of Pell Grants and every April my restaurant closes down for anywhere between two and six weeks requiring me to go on unemployment. By the way, the day we reopen, I go back to work. Interestingly, and perhaps tellingly, there’s an old interview with Mitt Romneys mother making the rounds these days. In the interview she tells the woeful tale of a religiously persecuted young man who was forced to flee the country for awhile. Upon his return, he was so desperate to provide for his family that he was forced to go on Welfare. Who was this man? He was George Romney. Mitts Father. Part of the 47%.

Branding

the Economic Development Administration is expected to remain the same, while monies received by the Appalachian Regional Commission will increase by 0.612 percent or a total of $418,000. Several working groups are being planned. Among them are: Energy, Transportation, Land Use and Livable Communities, Waste management, Water management, Agriculture and Forestry, and Economic Development. The groups will be charged with studying

their respective subjects and proposing programs for improvement in those areas. Mr. Zink introduced a program to brand foods grown or created in Western New York. The program will use a logo that says “ Fresh. Local. From the Ground Up.” The logo could be printed on bags, or store signage and other marketing materials to educate customers as to the advantage of buying locally produced food. Known as the Farmers Market Promotion Program, Southern Tier West has applied for an $80,772 grant from the USDA. The decision on funding is expected before Columbus Day. There was some question as to monitoring producers to be sure they are creating a product worthy of the logo. As the program is

currently conceived there will be some effort to police the producers. Southern Tier West is moving forward with its plan to provide broadband internet access to the rural communities in Western New York. They have partnered with Cattaraugus County, The Southern Tier Library System, the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System, Jones Memorial Hospital, Olean Medical Group, and several clinics in the Chautauqua County Health Network to create a grant totaling about $700,000 to move the project forward. The cost saving for creating electronic medial records is one of the concepts driving the program. When the system is built out it is expected to serve about 1,500 customers.

will be a selection of New York made wines to try. According to Jeanne Ellis, organizer of the event, it’s full day of “German food, German beer, and German dress.” The event has become popular, Jeanne says, “it gets bigger every year.” Starting at 3:00pm entertainment takes center stage with the Springville Jazz Band. This popular group is welcome

in any venue. At 6:00pm The Frankfurters command the stage with their lively blend of polka and German music. If contests are your thing, you’ll have plenty to do. Country cooks will want to participate in the Apfel dessert contest. Prizes will be given out for the tastiest apple based dessert. The entry form can be found at www.springvillechamber.com. Prizes will also be given out for the best German dress (see, we weren’t kidding about the Lederhosen). If all that isn’t exciting enough, loosen up your throat and enter the Yodeling contest. The

biggest event is likely to be the Southtowns German Car and Motorcycle Show. German made cars and bikes from all over Western New York will be on display. If you have a car you wish to show, the entry form can be found at the internet address shown above. If all of this sounds like a good time to you, take the advice of Jeanne Ellis, “Put on your German dress, bring your appetite, and listen to great German music and drink German beer.” Remember the word to say as you hoist your stein is prosit!

customers. The timetable for the project is as follows, according to Paladino. “We’re still constructing the Kwik Fill building. The building’s up and site work will be done in about three weeks, including sidewalks, curbs, and paving. Paving is not done yet.” The canopies and gas pump islands are in place, waiting

for the equipment to come. “Everything is taking shape and it’s getting very close to being completed.” Paladino cited good cooperation with local government bodies in bringing the project closer to reality. He notes that some additional work remains on building permits for the other buildings, “But other than that we’re all set. The Village has been very responsive and very nice to work with.” The names of additional businesses to be part of the project will not be announced until documents are signed.

Kwik Fill As for parking, “We’re all set.” Paladino’s company is renovating the property which once housed an auto repair garage and a furniture factory into about 20,000 square feet of retail space, which includes on-site parking. Two houses, including the former offices of the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (IDA), were demolished to provide additional parking. The new Kwik Fill could mean the creation as many as seventeen to twenty new jobs, according to IDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor.

★ ★ Sudoku Challenge ★ ★To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9-box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution.

Good luck!
