Section VI encompasses 95 schools and was one of only three sections out of 11 in the state that did not offer competitive ski racing as a sport. Mark Ward, superintendent of Ellicottville Central School, said, “We’re excited about it. I’m just so happy I could (live to) see it happen, because of all places, (ECS) should be the school that starts it with our history of skiing here.” Miguel Azcarate, owner of Mud Sweat n’ Gears and the training center director at Holiday Valley, has been advocating for Section VI skiing approval for quite a few years. “I’m just really excited. It’s absolutely good for everybody,” he said. Ward said, “We tried to do it 20 or 25 years ago and I guess the stars didn’t come together, but it did this time through a combination of the interest here locally, the folks in the ski racing community, and of course help from the state level and section support.” The sport is in the early stages of organization for this winter season, said Ward, but “Ellicottville will have a team. I can go to the bank on that.” ECS’ goal is to field both a boys’ and girls’ team. There is also the possibility of merging schools to create teams, as ECS has done with other sports. Timm Slade, executive director of Section VI, indicated that one of the first priorities is to identify and appoint a chairperson to head the sport. According to Slade, qualified individuals must be affiliated with a public school or retired from a public school. “We still need a chairman and are working on that,” said Slade. In addition to a Section VI chairperson, each interested school district will need a coach to head its team. ECS may be ahead of the curve as there is a person who has expressed interest in coaching the ski teams. Now that alpine skiing approval has been granted, Slade said he is in the process of determining the level of interest among Section VI schools. Competition will depend on how many other Section VI schools field teams, but Section VI teams would be competing against other teams from neighboring Section V, which encompasses the Genesee Valley area, said Ward. Six meets are required during the year and Ward hopes ECS will be able to host a meet locally. “We have to work with Section V to schedule competitions and potentially invite them to Holiday Valley to host our own competition. It’s going to be an exciting year,” said Ward. “It’s going to be one of those years that everything we do is going to be the first time we’ve done it. I would anticipate it’s going to be a learning year.” Alpaca Farm Days this weekend and Ellicottville is no exception.

On Saturday, Sept. 29 and Sunday, Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Mager Mountain Alpacas in Little Valley is hosting a 10th anniversary open house celebration and everyone is invited.

Paul and Sue Mager are your hosts for a two-day party with lots of fun activities planned, all centered on the wonderful world of alpacas. Kicking off the celebration will be “Smitty” from WGWE radio doing a live broadcast in his Jambulance. You can play the Plinko board for prizes and get in the party mood with classic rock and roll.

Amanda Grabowski will be giving spinning wheel demonstrations as well as sharing her charming stories with a captivated audience. New this year will be an “alpaca

kissing booth.” Greg and Nancy Whalen of Amore Alpacas will take a picture of you with an alpaca.

There will be balloons and games for prizes. Also, refreshments will be available to benefi t the Smile Train Charity.

On Sunday, Sept. 30 at 1 p.m., Cathie Bridges, a CPA with R.A. Mercer & Co., P.C., will give an informal tax seminar on the tax advantages and income sheltering potential of owning alpacas.

The So Soft Gift Shop will be open with the latest alpaca fashions. The Magers boast the largest stock of alpaca products in the area. Some of the items include socks, sweaters, capes, hats, mittens, texting gloves, Pronk bears, fur boot covers,

rugs and much more. Featured are award-winning knitted items made with fl eece from their own animals by fi ber artist Nancy Blessing. Check out this year›s harvest of yarn and rovings.

“When we started raising alpacas 10 years ago,» Paul recalled, “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 magnifi cent animals up close, and learn their history and what great products we can harvest without harming them.”

Although 80 percent of alpacas are white, you would not know it by seeing the Mager›s herd. Alpacas come in 23 natural colors and their herd seems to have most of them. Their herd of 32 alpacas and two llamas also includes fi ve rare grey alpacas and 10 baby alpacas.

Sue added, “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.”

Mager Mountain Alpacas is located at 69 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.

Salamanca’s Falling Leaves Festival This Weekend

By Alicia Yeager, ALCS Student Correspondent

It’s that time of year again, and with autumn comes the annual, much-anticipated Falling Leaves Festival, taking place at Salamanca’s Jefferson Street Park from Sept. 29-30. It’s the festival’s 35th anniversary, and with new events this year, it’s a great place to take the family and friends.

“Our fall festival is unique in that we have a hidden treasure in our community – our Seneca artists. This will be the second year we are highlighting Seneca Culture and Heritage. It is important to embrace our local artists and educate visitors on the rich culture. The chamber feels it is very important to promote our artists and it’s a great showcase at the festival,” says Jenny Ingrao, member services and events manager with the Seneca Salamanca Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber is highly involved in the activities, participating as the event organizer.

“We are the driving force for the festival,” Ingrao says, explaining that the chamber of commerce recruits vendors, promotes the festival and organizes the games, along with help from the area.

The festival features arts and crafts vendors, a farmers market, food concessions, a visiting bird rehab center, a car show on Main Street, doughnut eating and hula-hoop contests, a community circus, a performance by the Salamanca dance center and, of course, the much looked forward to Seneca Culture and Heritage Exhibit including artwork by Carson Waterman.

There will also be a 5K walk/run sponsored by ACHIEVE at

8 a.m. on Saturday, a frozen t-shirt contest, the Grand Parade from 1–3 p.m. on Sunday, and a tug of war contest.

On Saturday, the Falling Leaves Festival kicks off

at 8 a.m. when the pancake breakfast begins, and runs until 9 p.m. topped by live music of the Blues Hounds. On Sunday, the festival will run from 11

As September comes to an end, and October begins, our summer time weather appears to be exiting also. We are one week away from Fall Festival, which usually is a really FUN weekend. So when the weather cooperates lets get out and enjoy what is left of summer with a round of golf or a bike ride. For golf, just call either Holiday Valley or Elkdale Country Club make a Tee time. Then get out and enjoy what golf is all about. For a bike ride, pick up a trail map in any of our local outdoor stores. With all the beautiful scenery in our neighborhood it should be easy to plan an enjoyable ride.

Now on to “What’s Happinin” in Ellicottville this next week. Starting today Friday September 28, 2012 through Thursday October 4, 2012 we will have twelve Bands, three DJ’s, several Sound System Music Events plus all the really great food and beverage specials taking place in our wonderful clubs and eating establishments.

Like we do most weeks, here are a few suggestions for FUN that doesn’t include music. First, The Depot will only be open Friday and Sunday. They will be closed for a private party on Saturday. Yes, their pizza and wing specials will be there, especially on Sunday for Depot Football Sunday.

Just to the east of our village we have The Birdwalk Restaurant & Antique Shop. Here you will fi nd great gourmet pizza specials along with a fi ne dinning menu that will have you returning for sure.

Tips Up Cafe is a wonderful restaurant located on Washington Street. Beside an excellent and well prepared fi ne dinning menu you will get to experience, what we call, Ellicottville’s local home town service with a Tips Up Cafe Smile.

Then on Monroe Street, The Barn Restaurant, another local and family friendly place, offers great food, especially the Friday Fish Fry, and drink specials along with all ages friendly service. All of this creates an atmosphere that is a FUN Barn Experience.

Our weekly live music parade begins at 7:00 PM Friday in Balloons with “Only Humen” Humanizing Balloons music loving crowd. “Only Humen”, a Balloons Regular Band for over fi fteen years, is another of the best classic rock cover bands we get to see here in Ellicottville. Making their music even better is the temporary return of Reverend Mick Hayes on guitar and vocals. This show will draw a crowd so plan on arriving early.

Following “Only Humen” “Personable DJ John Barry” will be doing his really neat “Personality Show-Off Show” LIVE from Balloons Sound & Light Booth. Neat danceable tunes and very entertaining Chitter/Chatter are what this show is all about.

Returning to 9:00 PM Friday, we will have two gigs taking place. First The Gin Mill will have “Two Guys Drinking Beer” on stage. Ron and Terry, the two guys from “West” are truly talented and excellent musicians. They will create a very FUN acoustic music party night with their good tunes and general silliness that always accompanies “The Two Guys”

when they do their Gin Mill Gig. As always, remember The Gin Mill serves their excellent and reasonably priced menu till midnight on weekends.

Also at 9:00 PM Friday, The PUB in Great Valley will have “DJ Felony” along with his Karaoke Show in house. Therefore, The PUB patrons will not only get to hear “DJ Felony’s” neat selection of tunes, they will also be offered a chance to be part of The Karaoke Show or just kick back and enjoy The FUN PUB Times “DJ Felony” creates.

Moving to Saturday at 5:00 PM, Kabobs Kafe will have “Bruce Dominessy” doing his “Me, Myself & I” solo acoustic jazzy gig. Like we say every week, this is a super, easy listening and a very neat way to kick off your Saturday evening. Just stop in Kabob’s Kafe, enjoy the music, a cocktail and a great Kabob’s Kafe Dinner.

Then at 6:00 PM Saturday Balloons will have a new band for Ellicottville, “The Soul Barons” in house. From their web site, “The Soul Barons” feature a collection of fi ve experienced and stage tested musicians, playing a wide variety of crowd pleasing songs from Classic Rock to Oldies, Blues to Alternative and more”. Balloons is in for another FUN Saturday of music. Following “The Soul Barons”, “DJ Flakey Frank Watson”, “The Party Monster” will display his innovative plan of party continuation from Balloons Sound & Light Booth. Franks’ plan also includes trend setting and danceable tunes plus FUN chit/chat till close, or when “The Disoriented DJ Home” picks him up.

Returning to 6:30 PM Saturday, Madigans will be hosting The Roller Derby Fundraiser, which will feature three bands. First, beginning at 6:30 PM “Buster Gentle” will take the stage. Then at 8:00 PM “Infi nity Ball” will do a gig. DecaXdence will follow up at 9:30 PM playing until 10:30 PM. From their websites, all three of these bands appear to focus on both cover and original Heavy Rock. After listening to their music on the Internet, Madigans is in for an excellent Hard Rockin Saturday night.

Returning to 9:00 PM Saturday, The Gin Mill will host an Ellicottville new band, “Three Easy Pieces”. While the band is new you will recognize two of the members, RT Live and Freddie Joseph. The addition of Jeff, their choice of music and name change qualifi es them as new. We believe their choice of music will be more

of a country fl avor. Again, we will have another really FUN Gin Mill Saturday Music Night.

Also at 9:00 PM Saturday The PUB in Great Valley will have “Roll The Dice”, a local retro, classic rock to country band in house. Their music, consisting of everything from the Rock A Billy era through the eighties, has a bit of a country sound or twist. The interesting combination of music they produce will, as always, add to the FUN Happenin in The PUB this Saturday.

After, what we hope will be a Sunday Bills win over New England, we move on to next week. It all begins in The Gin Mill with the excellent “All U Can Eat Spaghetti” dinner for only $6.99. “Country Connor, The Crash Dummy,” creates more good times with his neat selection of country tunes played through The Gin Mills’ Sound System.

Monday’s music becomes complete at 10:00 PM Sharp with Madigans Church on Monday. Deacon Dan and Reverend Jack will be ROCKIN their loyal, following & fans with another night of original Honky Tonk to Rock-A-Billy tunes done in their FUN and entertaining way. Therefore, another Unique Madigans Night of Music will happen.

Wednesday at 8:00 PM The Gin Mill will have a bit of a change, music wise. Yes Joe Wagner will be there. However, this week, like last week, Freddie Joseph and Retro Lil Joey will join Joe. The music will still be the folk to southern rock tunes that Joe and John have done so well for many years. So stop by The Gin Mill this Wednesday and enjoy the music, wings and all around good times that always happin in The Gin Mill.

Then at 8:00 PM Thursday “Freddie & Friends” will be ROCKIN The Gin Mill. This week’s version will include Freddie and RT for sure. After that we are little unsure. What we all know for sure is we will hear tunes with an excellent country to southern rock sound, which will create another excellent Gin Mill Music Show.

So I’m looking at uber capitalist Mitt Romney thinking maybe he’s on the right track after all. Here’s a guy who sells American jobs to foreign countries, keeps his money in Swiss banks, probably sends his laundry out to China to be cleaned and orders in pizza direct from Naples. And I’m thinking – why not? Why not outsource – everything? Put a price tag on everything from body parts to forehead ads. Sell everything from our hearts and souls, from our brains to our big toes.

Thanks largely to the Internet, everybody’s a huckster these days and nothing is off the sales table.

A young mother from Bountiful, British Columbia just sold her forehead to a casino as advertising space. Kari Smith had “GoldenPalace.Com” tattooed across her forehead in large black letters for $10,000. It ought to be the fi rst business contract ever to include the line: “Never let your hair down.”

Miss Anorei Collins, a budding young model on the Big Breast Fetish circuit – not making that up – just sold 72 inches of advertising on her size 40NN breasts to a radio station in Malone, New York for $2,000. The radio station’s call numbers are 96.5 which in inches sounds just about right. Wild Country Radio hasn’t revealed the wording of their double feature ads yet. I’m guessing something like: “You better stare. We paid $1,000 each for these.”

Local Alpaca Farms Host Open HouseCont. from Front Page

By Jann WiswallA dozen or so leaders in

Cattaraugus County’s arts and culture scene participated in the latest public forum held by the county’s economic development department on Sept. 20 at Jamestown Community College’s CUTCO Theater.

The fi fth in a series of six public forums is designed to obtain community input in developing new goals and objectives for county development. Previous forums have covered economic development, agriculture, transportation and infrastructure, and natural resources. The fi nal forum, to be held Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. at the Cattaraugus County Center Building’s Legislative Chambers in Little Valley, will cover land use.

Representatives from the county tourism board, the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, business owners, the Southern Tier Symphony, Olean Community Theatre, and others provided feedback on how the arts and culture community

Recently 23-year-old Tina Beznec of New Zealand auctioned off a 9x9 cm space on one of her buttocks for a tattoo advertisement. A strip joint in Auckland outbid everybody to put their message on Tina’s backside billboard with an offer of $9,554. Calendar Girls has not revealed the ad they will post on the Kiwi’s bum but “There’s More Where This Came From” might work. Tina put only one of her buttocks up for auction on eBay – boy, I wonder if Pierre Omidyar, the creator of eBay saw this one coming – because two would be tacky.

In the dying days of capitalism, imploding from shameless corporate greed and mind-boggling corruption, it seems everybody is trying to get one last grab at the gold, even if it’s in somebody else’s teeth.

It used to be you could only sell your soul to the devil, but recently Lori N. from New Mexico put hers up for sale on eBay for $2,000. Many people are telling her that’s she’s going to burn in hell for eternity which tells me the devil really is involved in this deal.

Did you know that in Santa Anna, California they have a county jail where prisoners can upgrade to a cleaner and quieter cell for $90 a night? Honest! By upgrading your jail cell you get to spend a peaceful night in a building well-removed from the one where the noisy convicts are housed. Now isn’t accepting a bribe for better treatment

from a bank robber just a little bit ludicrous? Wouldn’t this encourage the thief to rob even more banks once he’s out to secure better upgrades when he lands back in?

The highway authorities of four major U.S. cities are now selling the right for single drivers to use the carpool lanes. For about ten dollars a shot, you can now drive alone in these multi-passenger lanes, thereby getting to your destination faster and completely destroying the purpose behind the carpool lanes.

In Washington, D.C., high-powered lobbyists ensure themselves of the best seat at congressional hearings by paying homeless people to stand in line for them overnight. And yes, it probably has happened that the fat cats have lobbied on behalf of developers against low-rent housing for the homeless.

There’s an economics professor in Chicago who is advocating that poor Americans sell their U.S. citizenships for $50,000 to foreigners and then move to Mexico. The American dream is not dead, it’s going, going, gone to a rich guy who hates paperwork.

It comes as no shock that some couples now pay a surrogate mother to carry their child

for them, from conception to birth. But the Louisiana state representative who wants to pay poor women $1,000 to have themselves sterilized!?!

Bribing children to eat their broccoli is quite common, but paying third-graders in the Dallas school system three dollars for every book they read!?! These kids will grow up confusing libraries with banks.

As one of the lowest organ-donating countries in the world, Canada is contemplating paying people for their vital body parts. As organs go, you can buy a kidney in Yemen for $60,000 or a liver in China for $21,900. The asking price for a lung in Europe is $312,650.

Today as capitalism teeters on the brink of another collapse, it seems every encounter is a transaction and everything around us and inside has a price.

They used to say “You can’t buy happiness.” Soon you will be able to buy happiness. It will come to you in virtual form and at viral quantities and PayPal will complete the transaction. And if for some reason you’re not happy with your newfound happiness, you can always put it up for sale on eBay. Maybe you could trade happiness for a soul although I still think a liver should be worth more than a kidney. Is anybody interesting in tattooing a ‘teaser ad’ on my forehead with the ‘answer ad’ on my bum? It’s a two-fer.” At steal at $20,000.

Arts and Culture Subject of Latest Public Forum for Catt. Co.

Comprehensive Plancan infl uence county economic development and be part of its growth. Meeting facilitator Laura Ryan led participants in exercises designed to clarify existing opportunities and deterrents to growth, brainstorm ideas and solutions, come up with specifi c strategies and tactics, and identify potential resources and action steps.

Cattaraugus County Arts Council Executive Director Anne Conroy-Baiter, who attended the forum, is “thrilled” that arts and culture is recognized as part of the county’s economic development.

“Many rural areas around the country have had tremendous success in building creative economies that attract signifi cant tourism, drive economic growth and improve residents’ quality of life,” she said. “The creative community clearly has a central role to play in developing the county’s comprehensive plan.”

The last time a comprehensive economic development plan was developed for the county was in 1978. At that time,

pointed out senior planner James H. Isaacson, the county’s population was 85,000 and population projections assumed an increase of 15,000, or 100,000 by year 2000.

“In fact, county population did not grow,” said Isaacson. It now stands at just 80,000.

“What we’ve found is that, primarily due to a lack of job opportunities, families with children have been moving out of the county, and college-aged students are not coming back after college,” said Isaacson. “Our goal is not specifi cally to increase county population, but rather to defi ne what we can do to make the county an attractive place to live, work and raise families. If we can do that, we think we can keep people here and encourage others to move in.”

With those goals in mind, the department developed draft vision and mission statements that read:

Draft Vision StatementCattaraugus County’s vision

is to provide the best living environment for our citizens,

appealing to those seeking a well-balanced lifestyle with a peaceful, clean environment, with opportunities that entice our children to stay and raise their families.

Draft Mission StatementIt is the mission of

Cattaraugus County to provide vital public services, promote business opportunities and ensure a balance between rural and urban development in a professional, effi cient and fi scally responsible manner.

Isaacson emphasized that these are draft statements that represent living documents and are open to change as residents review and absorb their meaning.

Following completion of the fi nal forum, the economic planning department will develop a set of goals and objectives for the county that will again be vetted by the community for additional feedback. For more information on the comprehensive planning process, contact Isaacson at (716) 938-2320 or email him at [email protected].

histogram with show records and a detailed analysis of each animal. This has allowed them to breed show-winning alpacas, with some very famous and valuable studs in residence.

You can visit the farm on Sept. 29 – 30 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. to meet the animals and shop in their farm store featuring a wide selection of alpaca products. Sugartown’s online store, at www.myalpacas to re .com, sells a wide variety of luxury alpaca apparel as well, many handcrafted by talented artisans. The Hermans look forward to welcoming you to their farm. For more information, call (716) 699-2902 or visit www.sugartownfarms.com.

On Sept. 29–30 from 10 a.m.–6 p.m., Mager Mountain Alpacas in Little Valley is hosting their 10th anniversary open house celebration with lots of fun and educational activities including spinning demo nstrations, an

alpaca “kissing booth,” games and prizes, refreshments and “Smitty” from WGWE radio doing a live broadcast in this Jambulance.

Paul Mager, owner of Mager Mountain Alpacas located at 69 Mountain View Dr. in Little Valley, explained that he and his wife Sue had been looking for “an agribusiness to retire to and a way to utilize our then vacant farm.” The Magers now have over 30 alpacas – including 10 alpaca crias (babies) born this season –and two llamas.

Mager said he hopes to have their online store at www.sosoftgiftshop.com published by this weekend, with plans to add items daily. The Magers also sell sweaters, throws, hats, mittens, gloves, scarves and more at their on-site So Soft gift shop. At this time, most of the products in their gift shop are imported from Peru (common for many alpaca stores), where

they have been processing alpaca fi ber for centuries. The Magers deal with a lot of small family craftsmen in Peru to bring their ancient talents and crafts to our gift shop. They also sell pieces made by Nancy Blessing, an award-winning crafter from San Antonio, Texas, “whose items fl y off the racks.”

For more information, call (716) 938-9077 or visit www.magermountainalpacas.com.

Located in the heart of Amish Country, Cardinal Acre Alpacas will welcome visitors on Sept. 29 from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. for free refreshments, alpaca greeting and education, as well as fi ne shopping at their All Things Alpaca gift shop.

Owner Sue Hornberger said she and her husband purchased their fi rst alpacas in 2009 and now own 15 animals. Their farm’s specialty is hand-knit items made from their own alpacas, including hats,

scarves, mittens and socks, in natural colors like black, off white, fawn (a tan), rose grey, chocolate brown, along with some interesting tweeds. She said she also enjoys dyeing her own yarns, which she sells as well.

Hornberger invites visitors to come “rattle the coffee can” to call the alpacas over to the fence for a handful of grain. She said, “My husband and I do daily farm visits. Everyone is welcome to come, but we ask that you call fi rst to make sure we’re here.” For details, call (716) 307-4582 or go to www.cardinalacrealpacas.com.

Falling Leaves Festival Cont. from Page 2

a.m., when the Seneca Culture and Heritage Exhibit opens, until 5 p.m. and will again end with live music by Oliverio.

Both days will be fi lled with family-friendly activities fun for all ages. The kids can enjoy the petting zoo and carnival rides, while the adults may enjoy the beer tent by the VFW and the Native Roots Artists Guild demonstrations.

The 14th annual 3-on-3 Basketball Tourney may catch

your eye, or take in the Seneca Cultural Short Film and Food Tasting by Terry Jones.

With all of these wonderful activities taking place surrounded by the beautiful fall foliage of late September, this festival, fi lled with food, competitions, Native American heritage events and the scenery of the Allegheny Mountains, is sure to bring a day of fun, photographs, smiles, and years of memories.

Residents and visitors alike look forward to the Falling Leaves Festival every year and it has always been a very successful event. This year, organizers expect over 8,000 visitors, and it is not surprising, since it has been a beloved event for 35 years now, actively supported by the town and community, and loved by all who attend.

Breakfast Cookies2 whole ripe bananas, mashed until creamy1/3 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter (whatever your liking or you could use almond butter) 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce¼ cup vanilla whey protein powder1 teaspoon vanilla extract1 ½ cups quick or instant oatmeal, uncooked¼ cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts, but you can use any or omit this.)¼ cup chocolate chips (I used the tiny vegan chips or you could omit or use regular chips.)Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix mashed banana and peanut butter

until completely combined. Then add in the applesauce, protein powder and vanilla extract. Mix again until completely combined.

Add in the oatmeal, nuts and chocolate chips to the banana mixture and combine. Let dough rest for about 10 minutes.

Next drop dough by the tablespoonful onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and fl atten cookies slightly. Bake cookies for about 30 minutes (I know, seems long but they turn out) or until golden brown and fi rm to the touch. Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool. Store cookies in a covered container.

By Liz BaresMy alarm goes off early, too

early for my liking. However, due to my own obsessive nature, my children don’t eat cereal for breakfast during the week. So, I need to get up earlier than them to make it.

When I was a kid, I remember inhaling a bowl of Cheerios before dashing out the door to school. Then, once settled into homeroom, I was starving. That’s why I try hard to make sure Austin and Eleanor have a substantial breakfast.

The kids have a total of 30 minutes to feed their calves, get dressed for school, eat breakfast, brush teeth and get into the car – a whirlwind morning – and fi nding things that are nutritious and tasty enough for them to eat can be a challenge.

My daughter is a light eater in the morning, so I am always looking for something that is bite sized but bursting with calories and nutrients. We do “toad-in-the-hole,” which is a

slice of bread with a hole cut into it. Then you crack an egg into the hole and fry them in a pan.

Banana and peanut butter bites are El’s favorite, with toothpicks to make it fancier. Austin’s favorite is plain, full-fat yogurt with muesli and some grade B maple syrup from Nature’s Remedy drizzled on top. My favorite is Irish oatmeal with apples and a hardboiled egg on the side.

A few weeks ago Austin spotted “breakfast cookies” on sale at Tops. Perplexed, he was astounded that some moms let their children eat cookies for breakfast. I explained that the cookie was probably made from oatmeal, but still had too much sugar for my liking and

we would not be purchasing the breakfast cookies. Austin was bummed for about three minutes – he moves on fast. However, I wondered if you could just make a breakfast cookie without all the preservatives and sugar.

Pinterest to the rescue! My go-to source for recipes is Pinterest. There is so much there it boggles the mind. At any rate, I found a breakfast cookie recipe, made them and the kiddos loved them!

This recipe can be adjusted to suit your needs. I use gluten-free oats, for example. Also, the recipe calls for vanilla whey protein powder. You can omit this ingredient if you wish. Your cookies just won’t have as much protein. I use chocolate whey protein powder sweetened with Stevia, Wegman’s brand. I fi nd the Wegman’s brand ingredient list isn’t too bad. I serve these cookies (2-3) with some yogurt and fresh fruit in the morning.

Simply Food

By Eva Potter The ECS Ski Club is hitting

its busy season with sign-ups for their weekly Thursday night ski outings. Forms are available in the high school offi ce. In order to receive the ECS club rate, applications must be turned in. Registration for any of the plans must take place at ECS fi rst, even if students are interested in purchasing combo passes to qualify for the discount. Jackie Paddock in the high school offi ce is handling processing of applications.

Five plans are available ranging from $65 –$200 per person including lessons. Some packages include ski rental equipment, while others apply to those who have their own equipment. The ECS program includes all students in K-12 that would like to participate. The ski club is only open to students at ECS.

For details, visit www.ellicottvillecentral.com and click on ECS Ski Club in the center column.

Ski Clubs Ramp up for Ski SeasonECS Ski Club Accepting Applications and Planning VT Trip

Local Sales Offer BargainsVermont Ski TripGlenn Hall, a middle school

science teacher at ECS, is in the process of organizing a Vermont ski trip.

Hall said, “I am looking for interested students to participate in a ski trip during the February break from Feb. 16-24. I am looking for a minimum of 40 students to stabilize costs. If we meet this number or when we get close, I will schedule a request with the Board of Education and then a parent meeting before November. Areas being considered include Okemo, Mt. Snow, Stowe and possibly others.

He said, “I have contacted three outfi ts about quotes on prices and so far, depending on components, the package prices I have received start at $330 dollars for a two-ski-day trip and increase based on extras. Included is transportation, lift tickets, lodging and two meals per day. Not included are lunches, en route expenses and souvenirs.” A higher number of students participating will decrease this part of the cost of the trip.

Students interested in helping Hall organize the trip should contact him before Oct. 12. Please email your questions to him at [email protected].

Need For Speed

By Kim LogelFast food isn’t necessarily

synonymous with junk food. True, most cuisine available at the drive-thru window leaves a lot to be desired nutritionally. Even the healthier options can tend to be highly processed, high in sodium and light on whole grains and vegetables. But, you know there are times you have to settle for the least worst, instead of holding out for the best. I understand – I have been there. So, here are some respectable choices from a few local fast-food emporia.

SubwayA 6-inch sub is a serving

for one When getting a sub choose 9-grain wheat bread.

Add fresh veggies, LIMIT bacon, cheese, dressings and sauces. Enjoy low-fat milk, water or unsweetened iced tea as a beverage. Pick apple slices or Dannon Light & Fit yogurt as a side.

Some healthy options include:

Turkey Breast Wrap: 222 calories, 24 grams of protein, 18 grams carbs (9 grams of fi ber); 6 grams fat (1 gram saturated).

Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Sub (6 inches, no cheese): 330 calories, 24 grams protein, 47 grams carbs (4 grams fi ber), 5 grams fat (1.5 saturated).

Oven Roasted Chicken Breast Salad: 342 calories, 19 grams protein, 9 grams carbs (4 grams fi ber), 2.5 grams fat (0.5 grams saturated).

Fat free Italian Dressing: 57 calories, 7 grams carbs and 720 grams sodium!

Burger KingStart with a salad to fi ll you

up with a high-fi ber foodOrder chicken instead of

hamburger. Order off the kids menu – portion controlled. Order apple fries in place of French fries. Hold the mayo. Some healthy options include:

Garden Salad: 70 calories, 4 grams protein, 1 gram fat. Ken’s Fat free Ranch Dressing:

60 calories, 15 grams carbs and 720 grams sodium! Ken’s Light Italian: 120 calories, 5 grams carbs, 11 grams fat (2 grams saturated) and 440 grams sodium!

Tender Grill Garden Salad: 230 calories, 34 grams protein, 9 grams carbs (3 grams fi ber), 8 grams fat (4 grams saturated).

Chicken Tenders (5-piece): 230 calories, 11 grams protein, 16 grams carbs, 13 grams fat (3 saturated).

Spicy Chick’n Crisp Sandwich (without mayo): 300 calories, 12 grams of protein, 51 grams of carbs (2 grams fi ber), 12 grams fat (2 grams saturated).

BK Fresh Apple Fries: 25 calories, 0 protein, 6 grams carbs (1 gram fi ber), 0 grams fat.

Whopper Jr. (without mayo): 260 calories, 28 grams protein, 48 grams carbs (3 grams fi ber), 11 grams fat (3 grams saturated).

BK Kids Breakfast Muffi n Sandwich: 240 calories, 9 grams protein, 23 grams carbs (1 gram fi ber), 11 grams fat (4 saturated).

Whether you’re on a road trip or just short on time and healthy, homemade fare just is not in the cards for that day, be a wise consumer and make the best of the choices available.

Area Athletes Brave Conditions for Pain in the Alleganies

by Eva PotterThe fi rst annual Pain in

the Alleganies, presented by Ridecarbon.com, was held in scenic Allegany State Park in Salamanca on Sept. 23.

“Considering the weather that Mother Nature decided to hand to the athletes, we are pleased with this inaugural year,” said Rich Clark, vice president of Score This!!!, Inc.

Out of 209 registered athletes, 143 braved the cool and rainy weather conditions

to participate in long distance triathlon, aquabike half iron, sprint distance triathlon, duathlon and relay events. About nine Ellicottville area athletes participated in the event. Eager competitors came to Allegany State Park from as far away as Ontario, Canada, Michigan and Tennessee to as close as Pennsylvania.

“The weather was the biggest challenge this year. It was at times warm, cold at times and as cold as 41 degrees, rainy, and one athlete even claimed they saw sleet on the bike course,” said Clark. “At 5:15 a.m., when athletes were just arriving, the sky was blue, the stars were out and we were all dumbfounded that it was raining. Then came the hail for about two minutes.”

According to Clark, feedback from those crossing the fi nishing line with priceless expressions was very positive, punctuated by comments like “It was tough, beautiful and fun,” “You sure did name this course right, cause it was painful at times and glorious at

others,” and “We will be back in 2013.”

A volunteer who brought his guitar and banjo and played music for the athletes all day on the run course at one of the turnaround locations proved to be a highlight of the event.

Based on the comments that his organization heard from many athletes, Clark feels the word will get out and this event will grow to about 400-500 athletes in year two.

“Athletes said the course was challenging, we named the race appropriately, the post-race chicken BBQ was awesome, and the shirt, arm warmers, socks and bottle opener where a big surprise,” said Clark.

The volunteers on the course were plentiful. A thankful Clark said, “A race like this can’t happen without the support of Allegany State Park, the New York State Park Police, Salamanca Fire Department Water Rescue Team, Allegany Indian Reservation Volunteer Fire Department, the Girl Scouts and all of the volunteers!”

Nine friends who graduated from Bedford Rd. Collegiate High School in Saskatoon Alberta Canada 52 years ago, gathered with their husbands at the home of Trisha and Brian Naber, in Ellicottville, this week where they celebrated their 70th birthdays.

by Mary FoxBow hunting season begins

Monday, Oct. 1 for archery enthusiasts in southwestern New York State. Deer and black bear may be taken by bow and arrow in this region from Oct. 1–Nov. 16, and turkey from Oct. 20–Nov. 16.

“Bow hunting continues to grow in popularity in New York, as evidenced by the estimated 215,000 licensed bow hunters in the state,” reported Steve Piatt, editor of the New York Outdoor News, on the publication’s website at www.outdoornews.com. “Hunters might notice a difference this fall in the woods because we had such a mild winter. There should be a lot of fawns and a lot of small bucks and young does.”

Bow hunting is very challenging. In order to get a bow hunting license, a hunter must take classes to obtain a Bow Hunter Education Certifi cate from the state.

Most bow hunters use a tree stand to help avoid the animal smelling them when it comes within range. Bow and arrow range is 30 yards as compared to 250-300 yards for

Bow Hunting Begins Oct. 1

a muzzleloader or rifl e. It may be good weather

to be out in the woods, but with leaves still on the trees, visibility is obstructed.

A greater concern, however, is the way the deer is handled when killed. Warm weather means the deer must be processed or kept refrigerated as soon as possible to avoid spoilage of the meat. In cold weather, the deer can be hung outside for several days, which some hunters believe will make the meat tenderer. Then there are those who think it doesn’t

make any difference. Regular deer, black bear

and turkey hunting season for bow, shotgun and muzzleloader begins Saturday, Nov. 17 and runs through Dec. 9., with a late season running from Dec. 10-18.

It’s time for drivers to beware of excited animals crossing highways ahead of them. As deer usually travel in groups, a good rule of thumb is to slow down when you see a deer crossing the highway ahead of you and look for the next one.

Boosters Club that was sponsored by the Ford Motor Company.

The Drive One 4 UR School event was headed up by Ed McClure, sales manager for Emerling. The Sports Boosters Club received a $20 donation for each test drive of a Chevrolet product available on the grounds.

“Karl Emerling is all

about giving back to communities. Helping schools out is only one of many projects he takes on,” said McClure. “Our goal tonight is to raise $6,000. It looks like we’re doing that. I’m from Ellicottville originally. It’s fun to give something back to my old school.”

by Jennie AcklinThe regular meeting of the

ECS Board of Education was held Sept. 25 at 7:30 p.m.

First on the agenda was the external audit report for the 2011-12 school year, which was presented by Scott Reed of Buffamante Whipple Buttafaro, P.C. Reed went through details of the general fund, the Food Service Fund and the Special Aid Fund, reviewing details of compliance documentation, revenue, expenses, salaries, and cost of goods sold. He stated that ECS is operating at a defi cit of $312,000 for the year and that the Fund Balance reserve “saved us.” He said he was “very pleased how the report came together.” Reed stressed how well the Food Service Fund operated, with the smallest defi cit ($5,424) in several years.

Superintendent Mark Ward commented, “It is obvious that state aid continues to decrease” and puts a strain on the budget. With a 2 percent property tax increase over the last fi ve years and cuts to the budget of approximately $200,000 this year, the board is working hard to hold budget increases. According to Ward, this year’s budget increase was just $41,000 on an $11million budget.

The next public meeting

Audit Report, Capital Project, Homecoming on ECS

Board Agendafor the school’s capital improvement project is slated for Tuesday, Oct. 2. The Facility Upgrades and Improvements meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Ellicottville Central School, 5873 Route 219 in Ellicottville, and all community members are encouraged to attend.

“We (the ECS Board) certainly agree that there is a need to upgrade our facilities. The next step is to decide how to do it and how it will get paid for,” said Ward.

Board member Connie Hellwig commented, “The key is to have the public involved. What do they want to see upgraded and improved?” She encouraged everyone to attend the meeting and to be a part of the process.

Under New Business, a donation of a piano and $200 for tuning and repair was made by Susan Drago and was graciously accepted by the board.

Several teachers were added to the substitute teacher list, with appointments contingent upon successful fi ngerprint clearance from New York State and include Mallory Blakeslee, Jacob Woodarek, Carl Johnson Jr., Lillian Lechner, Jamie Wojtowicz and Chelsea Ellis.

The fi rst reading of 20 school policies was presented, which included updated information

for Duties of Extra Classroom Activity Fund Central Treasurer and Faculty Auditor, Charter Schools, Corporate Sponsorships, Public Access to Records, Budget Planning and Development, Purchasing, Smoking/Tobacco Use, School Food Service Program, School Bus Safety, Qualifi cations of Bus Drivers, Code of Ethics, Equal Employment Opportunity, Safety of Students, Certifi ed Personnel, Professional Certifi cation, Health Insurance, Leaves of Absence, Family and Medical Leave Act, Employment of Retired Persons, and the Unaccompanied Youth and Dispute Resolution policies.

Homecoming Week activities have been going on all week, and the kids have been decorating and getting ready for all of the events, according to Principal Bob Miller. Friday is Spirit Day with a Pep Assembly at 2 p.m., and girls’ varsity soccer game versus Chautauqua Lake will take place at 4:30 p.m. The annual homecoming varsity football game against Sherman is at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Homecoming Dance will begin at 8 p.m.

The next regular meeting of the ECS School Board is Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

by Jack and Crew

For one dazzling weekend a year, all roads seem to lead to Ellicottville and our quaint little village becomes a shining city of light and celebration surrounded by jewel-toned hills.

But just the mention of the fi rst weekend in October conjures up a veritable cornucopia of emotions in the hearts of all Ellicottville business owners from eager anticipation and excitement to nail-biting anxiety. There’s the real fear that all the carefully planned renovations won’t be fi nished on schedule or there’ll be a serious shortage of some essential stock item that either won’t be delivered on time or simply slipped some minds and was never ordered. Local merchants and their loyal employees have been sensing “it” for weeks as we would a looming storm front. We’re like giddy children watching the approach of a late summer thunderstorm from the safety of our front porches. We can hear the soft rumbling of distant thunder and see the fl ickering of lightening in every UPS delivery and box we unpack as we eagerly brace ourselves for the approaching fury.

The other day I caught Peter Kreinheder, owner of Ellicottville Brewing Company, smiling behind the bar as he watched his able crew cheerfully stockpiling full beer kegs like squirrels anticipating a long, hard winter. When I asked him how it was going, he just laughed and said that Fall Festival was “a necessary evil.”

“As in E-V-L?” I asked. “Absolutely!” he replied.

That pretty much sums it up.

Currently, there are 95 Section VI member schools. According to Azcarate’s estimate, about 100-plus students race informally with area leagues, including three or four competitions per year.

Ward said, “The kids are involved in (skiing) already. They have their equipment. It’s a matter of fi tting the state competition and the requirements into the program that currently has been fl ourishing in our community for many years.”

Azcarate mirrored this statement and said, “There are

Section VI Alpine Skiing for WNY Schools

Cont. from Front Page

plenty of kids that are coming already with high schools to Holiday Valley, Kissing Bridge, Peek’n Peak, and (the students) can do it now not only as a club, but they can do it as a school to compete.”

From a personal and professional perspective, Azcarate said he is offering any services and tools available to him to help the sport get off the ground.

“I will help implement anything they need, whether it’s coaches, venues for the competitions, timing systems, whatever they need I will help,”

he said. “I think in three or four years, or in fi ve years, I would be more than happy if we can be half the size of Section V.”

Ward refl ected, “What better place than Ellicottville to start this? What better ski resort than Holiday Valley, which is the marquis ski resort in Western New York and certainly one of the top 10 in the East? So, it’s nice we can partner with them, because I know they will help us make this a go. I think we have the perfect formula for success.”

Now is the time to make lodging reservations at Allegany State Park for the May 31-June 2, 2013 Al-legany Nature Pilgrimage offered by the Audubon organizations from Buf-falo, Erie, Jamestown and Rochester. Pictured is a geology program held at Thunder Rocks at a previ-ous pilgrimage. (P hoto by Jennifer Schlick.)

The precision paintings by contemporary artist David Higgins will be on display at the Olean Public Library Gallery beginning Oct. 6. Higgins was the Best of Show Winner of the Southern Tier Biennial, a regional survey of contemporary art, which earned him the solo show entitled “So Far.”

An artists’ reception will take place from 2–4 p.m. at the library, located on the corner of Laurens and 134 North 2nd streets in Olean. The public is invited to attend the free event, which is a collaboration of the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC), the Olean Public Library and Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation, is and is made possible through the generous sponsorship of the F. Donald Kenney Foundation.
