Friends and families will gather this weekend, October 2-4 in Jefferson Street Park in Salamanca to celebrate the changing of seasons at the 32nd annual Falling Leaves Festival.

There is something to please everyone in the family. From the full weekend-long car show for dad, over 50 local Western New York art and craft vendors for mom, the kid zone with amusement rides and Morton’s petting zoo and pony rides for the kids, and delicious food for everyone … no one can possibly go

home disappointed. For the past 31 years the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce has organized the Falling Leaves Festival. “This year is my second year with the Chamber,” said Jane Paskuly, Tourism and Events Manager. “I had just started before the festival last year, so it was crazy

and I really didn’t get to enjoy it, but I am defi nitely looking forward to it this year.” New this year, the Olean-Bradford YMCA and the Twin Tiers Striders Club are co-sponsoring a 5K walk and run on Sunday, October 4 at

Nationally-known horseback enthusiast and Virginia farmer Tom Seay paid a recent visit to Ellicottville and the Southern Tier, and came away impressed by what he experienced. In fact, he promises to come back soon. Seay possesses an impressive

resume when it comes to his outdoor adventures. Currently the producer of the television program, “Best of America by Horseback,” Seay conducted “The American Transcontinental Trail Ride” from Georgia to California in 1995, and just recently completed a trek ranging from Mexico to Canada. But now he’s found a warm spot in his heart for Ellicottville and vicinity.

Tom Seay is very familiar with horses, having had them since he was fi ve years old. His current “Best of America by Horseback” television show grew out of the 1995 Atlantic to Pacifi c horseback ride, evolving into programs that spotlight a location as more than “here’s where you ride your horse.” His travels have included historical places like the Lewis and Clark trail,

the Pony Express route, and the old cattle trails. He loves being outdoors, noting his blood pressure fell from “almost stroke level” to “perfect” after completing the Mexico to Canada trip. “There’s something pretty healthy about what we do.” Carol Lawrence, a board member of the Cattaraugus Chautauqua

I’d like you to meet my Dad, Samuel Pellerito

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.

He is 62 years old and in need of a kidney. My Dad has Polysistic Kidney Disease and his kidney function has greatly decreased in the past few years. My Dad is a wonderful husband, father of 3 and grandfather of 5. My parents have been happily married for 41 years. He enjoys playing golf and spending time with his family and friends. My Dad has had a long, fullfi lling career of 36 years in the Jamestown Public School system. Currently he is in formation at the Christ of Kings Seminary in the Deaconate Program. He serves as President of the Southern Tier Kidney Foundation and has also been involved in Koinonia and Cursillo. My Dad leads a very spiritual life with God and gives everything he has humbly. He never complains even though we know he doesn’t always feel well. Receiving a kidney would be a blessing to him and our whole family. If you are blood type “B” and would like to be Sam’s living kidney donor, please contact Jeanette Ostrom at (716) 450-8958 or e-mail Sam at [email protected]

Last week, it was brought to the community’s attention that the food pantry is empty. I then realized, I don’t even know where the food pantry is! How many other residents and visitors have the same problem? Many visitors staying in Ellicottville leave full cans, bottles and other supplies in the rented condos or hotel rooms. It would be great if they knew where they could leave these to benefi t our community. As well, just recently I contacted a friend to fi nd where I could send clothing

to help the Family Support Center. Would it be possible for your paper to have a public service column? I am sure there are other charities needing help – both through the holiday season as well as daily. Could this column contain drop-off areas, phone numbers, and any other information pertinent to their needs? I am sure anything the paper could do would be greatly appreciated by all charities concerned. Thank you.

Jeanne Clarmo

Publisher’s Note: The Ellicottville Food Pantry is located inside the United Church of Ellicottville, 53 Elizabeth Street, phone 716-699-4003. The Villager would be more than happy to help bring awareness to the community of the charities and organizations in our area that are in need.

‘Why I Love the Michael Kerns Starz for Youth Ball’ I cannot wait for the 3rd annual Michael Kerns Memorial Starz for Youth Ball on Friday, Oct. 16 at Holiday Valley’s Yodeler Lodge. This is my absolute favorite upscale party with over 200 people attending. Put on by the Rotary Club of Ellicottville’s Foundation for Youth to raise funds for their many worthy projects, this event is over-the-top. By far it is the best food served at any venue, with Beef Tenderloin that melts in your mouth and a desert table that will drive anyone off their diet! Of course I am inclined to say this as my daughter has a hand in both. I had a sneak peak at the menu this year provided by the best restaurants in town, with their chefs looking to be recognized for their signature dish. When you arrive, you are greeted with a glass of champagne to accompany the great hors d’ oeuvres served by BOCES culinary students while you listen to the great music of EZ3. Riley’s Bar and Restaurant joins this year with Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Pork

Tenderloin. If you had the Crab Cakes from Tips Up last year, you won’t be disappointed as they will be back along with Double Diamond’s Clams Casino. Seafood abounds with signature dishes from The Birdwalk and Ellicottville Brewing Company. The Silver Fox and Myer’s Steak House did two of my favorite dishes last year, and both said they plan to put that to shame with their 2009 dishes. The set-up is stations with reserved seating so you can enjoy as much as you want. Boston Culinary, who is hosting the event, provides their unique Potato station while Bonjour Bakery’s Bread and Brick City Gourmet’s Salad stations round out the offering. The ambiance is set by Dina’s at the Mont with beautiful table-scapes. As mentioned before, the dessert table leaves nothing to be desired. Watson’s Chocolates abound with extra special cakes, cookies and tarts from Tom, Dina and Cathy Kerns. I love the silent auction as there is always a great bargain and it is fun to watch

as the wine lovers bid on the rare wine offered in the live auction. After dinner you can enjoy “The Strangers,” Buffalo’s party rock band. Or like me you can visit the lounge upstairs for conversation or a little socializing with your friends. Beyond the food and the company, this is one of the most fun events of the year. For those of you who knew Michael Kerns, you know that this is an event he would have loved. I already have my tickets, as this is not going to be an event that I miss. So don’t wait to get your tickets - it will be a sellout again this year. As usual, I will pick out something special to wear, but remember: this is Ellicottville so the dress is always a little more casual.

Joe DiPasquale Publisher’s Note: Tickets to the Michael Kerns Memorial Starz for Youth Ball can be purchased at The Barn Restaurant, the Gin Mill, Balloons, any Rotary Club member, or by calling Rotary member Kegs Keighley at 716-699-8758.

Ah – October in Ellicottville – does it get any better? This all-too-brief season is my favorite, and I’ll bet you a free trip on the “Nightmare Hayride” I’m not alone. We’re on the very cusp of Fall Fest

’09 and the village is bracing for yet another successful (and economically important) cultural happening. And then there’s the shopping … If you’re lucky enough to live around here, you have a distinct advantage over our beloved visitors who’ll be down in droves next weekend. I speak, of course, of being able to hunt down the pre-FF deals and specials before FF even arrives! Getting ready for tent and sidewalk sales takes more than just a little preparation, and our hard-working merchants have been getting ready over the last few weeks. End result? Most of your favorite stores in town have their bargain racks ready to go – and don’t you just love bargains? Clothing, ski equipment, decorative knick-knacks, jewelry, furniture,

artwork – it’s all got to go, folks. And go it will next weekend, so why not get a jump on the competition and start shopping THIS weekend? The big ski tent will be set up THIS weekend! Go now, and be aggressive! I know – I’m making it sound like a competition. Well, take it from this ’08 Shopping Silver Medalist, (narrowly missed gold last year), buy early and buy often … Then, come Fall Festival weekend, you can skip the frantic frenzy and relax in knowing you scooped everyone on the “really BIG deals” … Sneaky, yes, but all’s fair in love and shopping. So dear readers, get out your checkbooks and credit cards and get crackin’! The proverbial early bird always gets the worm. Until next week …

11am. The race is divided into male and female categories and then age groups: 19 and younger, 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60 and up. Trophies will be given to 1st and 2nd place winners overall and 1st place winners in each category. Bring comfortable sneakers and a water bottle. Registration is $12.50 on the day of the race. The Chamber has thought-up the unthinkable - combining an eating contest with hula hooping. Do you think you can hula-hoop while eating a hot dog? How about several? See how many hotdogs you can eat before dropping your hula-hoop. Come hungry! (See page 4). Ever thought making a bed could become a competition? If you think you have pristine bed making skills, sign up for the crowd-pleasing bed race. “You take a bed, put it on wheels, decorate it, maneuver it to the other end of the course, around the cone and cross the fi nish line, and hope you win,” Jane said. “There will be trophies for the top three winners.” Back by popular demand is the USA Amateur Boxing Competition with Fists of Fury presented by the Knockout Factory and co-sponsored by Seneca Gaming & Entertainment and Snakes Smokes. It is free to the public, and will be held behind

Jefferson Street School at 6pm on Saturday. (See page 7). “Back again, and bigger than ever is the car show,” Jane said. “This year there are 34 trophies to give away.” Categories range from production by year, foreign sports cars, and Model T’s. Car show entry cost is $10 for both Saturday and Sunday. Car Club participants can cruise the streets of Salamanca and show off their rides during Saturday’s Cruise-In. Many local restaurants are offering discount drinks and food for car show patrons. Contestants don’t need to participate both days to be judged, but they do have to participate on Sunday. Among these activities, the festival will also include a 3-on-3 basketball tournament at Salamanca High School,

the Falling Leaves Grande Parade, performances from many local musical groups and dance troops, a Pancake Breakfast sponsored by the United Congregational Methodist Church, the Cattaraugus County’s Got Talent Competition Semi-Finals at Salamanca High School, and the Warriors fundraiser dance at the American Legion. “I can’t wait to see everyone enjoy themselves,” Jane said. “It makes me happy to see everyone else happy.” Last year over 10,000 people came out to participate in the festivities and the Chamber is expecting to see nearly that many this year as well. For more information, contact the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce at 716-945-2034.

Chapter of the New York State Horse Council, helped to organize Tom Seay’s four-day visit. Lawrence says organizers set up “a very aggressive itinerary” of several stops, so he could see “the very best of what both counties have to offer” in terms of tourism attractions and accommodations. “We had great fun showing him area amenities like Ellicottville, Holiday Valley, Onoville Marina, and Chautauqua Institution.” The tour traveled “just shy of eight hundred miles in four days” through the two counties, this time by car, not horse.

For their part, Holiday Valley was happy to welcome Tom Seay as their guest. Jane Eshbaugh, Director of Marketing at Holiday Valley said, “He’s a really great guy with a great personality, really funny. We were able to show him some of the things that are available to people when they are not riding.” She pointed out that there are plenty of things to do in Cattaraugus County, on and off the trails. Seay commented, “I’ve never felt more welcome, more at home” in this area. He appreciated the hospitality of the New York Horse Council and is considering including the Southern Tier as part of a possible “major trip around New York focusing on this area with horses and wagons,” perhaps next fall or the following spring. The idea would be to “highlight the people, the beauty, and the attributes of this area.” He added, “I cannot wait to come back here.” Seay was raised on a farm,

and harvesting corn was one of the tasks with which he was involved. Watching the local Amish community harvest corn brought back memories

of his youth. He went on to say that Southern Tier residents have outdoor opportunities “that other communities would just beg to have,” noting that people living here “don’t realize” it. He also commented that the people here “are just the icing on the cake.” He noted that residents must seize the opportunity to maintain trails and keep them from being closed, in light of pending government cutbacks to parks. During his visit, Seay met with members of the Seneca Nation. He has offered to come back and “help record history of their elders” on video and audio for the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum in Salamanca. “I was truly inspired and felt a kinship” with the Seneca people. “If they want us to (record their history), we will do it.” Seay would also like to return to the Amish Country of Western New York, “to show the meaning behind what they do and why they do it.” Seay had originally intended to make one, half-

hour long show about his visit here. But plans have changed. “There were so many places to see and visit, there’s just no way to get all of this in one show. So we think we will do a show (maybe two), but we’ll also show short segments on a visit to this place or that, or on interesting individuals we’ve met.” One or two-minute segments will be spotlighted in a number of shows, starting the fi rst of the year in 2010. For example, Cherry Creek is a “wonderful, wonderful” place, but a visit to the Amish there cannot be shown in twenty to thirty seconds. Viewers should stay alert early in January and will be informed on Tom Seay’s website, www.bestofamericabyhorseback.com. His network, RFD TV, is carried by Direct TV and Dish Network. “We may try to make special arrangements with some of the cable systems” in the area to give them a copy of the show, so they could air it locally. Seay notes that RFD has an agreement with Time-Warner, so “we’ll make sure it gets on.”

Holiday Valley was happy to welcome Tom Seay as their guest. Jane Eshbaugh, Director of Marketing at Holiday Valley said, “He’s a really great guy with a great personality, really funny. We were able to show him some of the things that are available to people when they are not riding.” Pictured above: Ellicottville resident Becky Szpaicher tees off on hole number 13, with onlookers Carol Lorenc, Tom Seay and his photographer, Phil Bund and Joany Bund in the background.

Valley include Ski Swap Sales, Golf Shop/Mountain Shop Tent Sales, 5K and Mountain Bike Races, Chairlift Rides to the top of Mardi Gras with Live Entertainment and a Mountain Top Cookout. Music at the top of the hill from 12-4pm will be the Scott Celani Band on Saturday and NY2LA on Sunday. There will also be music on the deck of Founder’s Lounge from 3-7pm at Holiday Valley both days with The

Ever thought making a bed could become a competition? If you think you have pristine bed making skills, sign up for the crowd-pleasing bed race. “You take a bed, put it on wheels, decorate it, maneuver it to the other end of the course, around the cone and cross the fi nish line, and hope you win,” explains Jane Paskuly of the Salamanca Chamber. “There will be trophies for the top three winners.”

As you are aware from previous articles, the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce has been working very diligently to make Ellicottville a household name, familiar to Canadians and Americans alike. Sometimes we source out travel writers

through BullPen PR, our Public Relations fi rm, and sometimes travel writers and publications source us out. Such is the case with one very prestigious adventure magazine, National Geographic Adventure. The

Chamber offi ce was contacted by National Geographic Adventure magazine several months ago to provide them with photos of the area to be submitted for the possibility of being included as one of the top 100 adventure towns in the United States. We sent many great images and descriptions and guess what, we made it! Ellicottville has offi cially been included in National Geographic’s list of America’s Best Adventure Towns. Not only did we make it, but we also have banner placement on the National Geographic Adventure-America’s Best Adventure Towns landing page, one of fi ve places chosen. Ellicottville is included with great American towns like New Orleans, LA, Jackson, WY and Vail, CO. Take a moment and log onto http://adventure.nat ionalgeographic .com/weekend-getaways/adventure-towns-home to view the article. Way to go Ellicottville!

Not only did Ellicottville make National Geographic Adventure, but we also have banner placement on the National Geographic Adventure-America’s Best Adventure Towns landing page, one of only fi ve places chosen!

Member In The NewsThe Purple Doorknob to Showcase Works of Artist Matthew Palmo

Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce member, The Purple Doorknob, an eclectic shop offering a unique selection of antiques, art and other intriguing objects, will be featuring a showing of the recent work by artist Matthew Palmo. The Purple Doorknob was named by owner Urania Shaklee for the fi rst beloved antique that she ever owned, a purple doorknob. Urania, originally from Canaseraga, NY opened her doors in

Ellicottville just over a year ago, and one-of-a-kind fi nds are her specialty! Urania’s unique collection of antiquities will be the backdrop for Matthew’s abstract, visionary paintings. The opening reception for Matthew’s work will be held this Friday, October 2 from 7-9pm at The Purple Doorknob and will be highlighted throughout the month. Stop in, say “hi” to Urania and check out Matthew’s work amongst some very unique pieces.

Hula Dog ContestSalamanca Chamber’s Falling Leaves Fest Introduces a New Event!

Our friends at the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting their Falling Leaves Festival this weekend, October 2-4. The Chamber team has let their creativity fl ow and will be having an exiting new competition Saturday starting at 1pm, a “Hula Dog” contest. What exactly is a Hula Dog contest you may be asking? Well, it can be viewed as a new spin on a good old hot dog eating competition or adding a little bite to a hula-hoop contest. Either way this sounds like something you won’t want to miss. Pictured above is Jane Paskuly with a hot dog in-hand and a hula-hoop on the hips. Think you can beat that? Contact the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce at 945-2034 for more information.

Shred & Regan to Broadcast Live at Fall FestOn the Friday of Fall Festival, October 9, the Shred & Regan Show on 103.3 The Edge radio station will broadcast live from the Village Gazebo from 3-7pm. Their entertaining show will be highlighting some of the things going on for Fall Festival as people start to roll into town. Shred & Regan will be conducting interviews with all sorts of locals and will have lots of giveaways, so stop by and say “hi” to these “on air” celebrities.

THE BEST OF TIMES The present may well be the best of times for fi rst-time homebuyers. Not only are home prices as low as they have been in years, but mortgage rates are at historic lows. In addition, the government is offering fi rst-time homebuyers a tax credit worth $8,000 or 10% of their home’s value (whichever is less). First-time buyers, for the purpose of the tax credit, are those who have not owned a home in three years. According to the IRS, the credit does not have to be paid back if the home remains the buyer’s primary residence for at least 36 months after the purchase date. The credit phases out for those whose adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 for joint fi lers). Whether you are a fi rst-time buyer, or a seasoned investor, I can help you achieve your real estate investment goals. I have a successful history of helping buyers fi nd the property that best suits their requirements. Contact me today at 716-474-5646 to arrange an initial meeting.

HINT: According to the Treasury Department, nearly one out of two homebuyers bought for the fi rst time last year.

Giant Pumpkin Weigh-OffPumpkinville Welcomes the Return of a Popular Contest this Sunday GREAT VALLEY, NY - Fans of pumpkins weighing more than 1,000 pounds should make their way to Pumpkinville this Sunday, October 4 at noon. Western New York’s largest Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off takes center stage at the area’s premier fall family attraction. More than 40 giant pumpkins are expected for the weigh-off including reports from the entrants that approximately 10 of the pumpkins will weigh more than 1,000 pounds. Despite the wet weather which might reduce the number of 1,000 pound pumpkins entered, several of the growers say their pumpkins have a legitimate chance to beat the New York State record of 1,631 pounds. “Last year’s weigh-off was phenomenal, and from the information we’re getting, this year’s will be even better,” said Dan Pawlowski, who owns Pumpkinville with his wife Diane. “We’re fl attered when people tell us we’re the best contest in the area and recommend us to other giant pumpkin growers throughout the northeast.” The winner of last year’s contest tipped the scales at 1,403 pounds. This year’s prize purse will be more than $5,000 with the grower of the largest pumpkin receiving $1,000. In addition to the weigh-off, Giant Pumpkin sculptures will be demonstrated during the weekend. Owners Dan and Diane Pawlowski are still beaming from Pumpkinville’s 2008 win of New York State’s Agri-Tourism Award from the I LOVE NEW YORK campaign. “That win last year made us work even harder this year to grow Pumpkinville into a bigger regional tourist attraction,” Dan notes. New York State’s oldest, continuously working pumpkin farm, Pumpkinville has increased in size and added attractions, making it the largest regional tourist destination for Western New York’s autumn season. Open

through October 31 from 9am-7pm each day, the 200-acre farm in Great Valley has transformed into a family-friendly attraction with two-dozen activities that appeal to people of all ages. In addition to the 10-acre pumpkin patch and 1870s era cider mill that allows visitors the unique experience of seeing how apple cider was made back in the late 1800s, Pumpkinville has added several new attractions. They include Di’s Pies & Bake Shoppe. The on-site working bakery features a multitude of sweets. Watch as pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, muffi ns, pies and their widely renowned pumpkin donuts are made, and then buy and eat them as they come out of the oven. Also grab a rubber duck and race in the Ducky Derby using old-fashioned hand water pumps. This year’s ongoing Pumpkinville events include the popular Six-Acre Corn Maze, one of the largest in the U.S. Find hidden messages in the maze to win prizes. Visitors can fi re The Corn Cannon and aim corncobs at hay bale targets. Pony Rides

are available, along with a fun “Cow Train” for the kids. On Goat Mountain, you feed the goats as you climb the mountain. You’ll also see more farm animals and take a Hay Ride. The Pumpkinville Grille features hot dogs, sausage, barbecue pork, chili and homemade curly fries available daily, with mouth-watering chicken barbecue dinners on weekends. Pumpkinville is located at 4844 Sugartown Road (off Route 98) in Great Valley, just a few miles from Ellicottville. Pumpkinville originated in the early 1960s by Joe and Helen Halloran. They started by growing and selling pumpkins on the roadside and each year it grew a little more. In 1996, they entrusted Pumpkinville to the current owners, the Pawlowski family. Since then Dan and Diane and their children, Lisa and Jim combined their creativity with hard work to grow Pumpkinville into the regional tourist attraction it is today with more than 80,000 people visiting during the six week season. For more information about Pumpkinville, please call 716-699-2205 or 699-2994.

More than 40 giant pumpkins are expected for the weigh-off including reports from the entrants that approximately 10 of the pumpkins will weigh more than 1,000 pounds. In addition to the weigh-off, which begins at noon this Sunday, October 4, Giant Pumpkin sculptures will be demonstrated. Photo/Gary Kinn

OLEAN - The fi nal tallies from the 7th annual Rally in the Valley are in and organizers from the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce are very pleased with the outcome. With the success of the event, they will be able to gift $15,400 to local charities. CARes - Council on Addiction Recovery Services, Inc., Interfaith Caregivers, the Dempsey Club, HomeCare & Hospice, Olean Airport Support Group, Southern Tier Military Support Group, South Olean Football, Healthy Families of Cattaraugus, and the Olean High School Sports Boosters are all recipients of the event’s proceeds. Including this year’s donations, the Rally in the Valley

has been able to give more than $100,000 to local charities. Rally in the Valley was introduced to the area by local business leaders who saw what other communities have done with similar events and wanted to bring that same type of experience to Olean. They knew the event would draw many people from outside the area and the longer they ran the event the larger it would grow. In addition, they knew there were many bikers in this area that would love an event like this that was close to home. “We have gone to great lengths and take great pride in the fact that our Rally in the Valley continues to be an event that

all members of the family can attend. We get a great feeling just seeing little kids walking with dad and mom looking at all of the motorcycles. It is a great feeling to be able to take a hobby that we are so passionate about, and use it to make money for some very worthy people around Olean. We are very thankful for the continued support we receive from the great people of Olean and the Chamber of Commerce,” stated the chairs of the Rally event, Dennis Jones, Randy Langdon, Dan Jordan, Larry Penman and Alan Roth. The Rally in the Valley is scheduled for August 27-29, 2010. For more info, call the Chamber at 716-372-4433.

Ross Wilson & Associates of Buffalo is the master developer and project manager for the development, to be called Bonaventure Square. “We have been working with Ross Wilson & Associates since February, and we are delighted that they are now ready to advance plans for the property to the Allegany Town Board,” said Brenda McGee Snow, senior vice president for fi nance and administration at St. Bonaventure. “We feel confi dent that the proposed development will signifi cantly enhance the quality of life for our students and for regional citizens and tourists, while also supporting the university’s long-term plan for growth.” Among the planned components of the approximately $60 million development - to be located on the site of the former Castle Motel - are a recreation complex with bowling alleys, sports lounge, arcade and gaming room; apartment

housing designed for graduate students and area professionals; a hotel with conference space; a sporting/multi-purpose complex that will provide indoor and outdoor venues for a wide variety of sporting events and tournaments; and retail stores and restaurants to support the complex. Ross Wilson & Associates will be submitting project plans to the Allegany Town Board in early October. This will start the public planning and approval process. The goal is to begin construction in June 2010. “There are many steps that need to occur before construction can begin. But we remain optimistic that what is being proposed is not only feasible from a business perspective, but also very attractive from a regional economic development perspective,” said Snow. Craig Marlatt of Ross Wilson & Associates said, “The opportunity to add a fairly signifi cant number of new jobs and to add substantially to the tax base is also a major positive factor for the region. This project took on a life of its own very early in the process. “The support from community leaders, business and elected

offi cials has been incredible,and served to greatly assistour team in determining thedevelopment’s feasibilityso quickly. We have a verystrong team of developmentpartners on deck to make thishappen, all of whom added tothe credibility of the project,”Marlatt said. St. Bonaventure University isgiving the regional community“a huge gift,” said KevinGreiner, a principal with RossWilson & Associates. “This development will drawtourism to the community whilealso serving as a tremendousrecreational and retail asset.We are delighted to be workingwith the University to makethis happen,” Greiner said.“The university administrationhas been extremely supportiveand provided the necessaryguidance initially to scopethe project so that the benefi tsof this development to theuniversity and the benefi t tothe greater community arealigned.” Partnering with Ross Wilson& Associates is Foit AlbertAssociates, which is serving asthe project architect, and KinleyCorp., the general contractorfor the project.

Jackson ran for 71 yards. The rest of the running game was lifeless. I guess the Saints are that good.

What a difference a week makes. Edwards couldn’t get a pass to T.O. That broke a streak of 186 games in a row!

The Bills played solid for three quarters. But any way you look at it, the Saints ran for 222 yards.

B Once again the Bills’ pass defense held Drew Brees to 172 yards passing. When the offense wakes up, we might have something to look forward to.

C+ Brian Moorman could be the Bills’ back-up. Great time for a fake fi eld goal. Parrish’s fumble was very untimely.

The Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce presents this year’s boxing competition brought to you by The Knockout Factory, who will put on a spectacular U.S.A. Amateur Boxing Competition on Saturday night, October 3 at the 32nd Annual Falling Leaves Festival. This event is sponsored by Seneca Gaming and Entertainment and will feature several exciting bouts, a top name boxing announcer and the famous “Knockout Factory Knockouts” round card girls. The competition is FREE to the public and will start at 6pm. The Knockout Factory, located at the top of South Main Street in Salamanca, is the largest boxing and mixed martial arts facility in Western New York. All of the coaches have attained their Level 2 Certifi cation and are former fi ghters themselves. The facility contains a 20’x20’ professional boxing ring, a mixed wrestling and martial arts cage, a weight area and speed bag area, an equipment wall, a matted area for mixed martial arts and a mirrored wall for fi ne tuning skills. The gym, which is owned and operated by Mike ‘Snake’ Tome, opened in 2001 and is free and open to the public. On any given night, there will be several local kids gearing up for a competition, whether it’s a regional boxing competition, weight lifting competition, or an out of state mixed martial arts competition. Mike said, “I like to be sure these kids are both physically and mentally prepared for their competitions. The workouts teach them many things, not just about fi ghting, but about life in general. We can get kids off the couch and off the streets and have them do something productive that will teach them valuable life lessons.” These lessons have paid off for those individuals as the Knockout Factory’s combined fi ght record in 2008 stood at 100 wins and only 27 losses, as well as numerous trophies and gym awards. Mike has had his share of champions come out of the gym. Charlie Fitzsimmons

was the 2006 heavyweight Ringside World Champion and is devoted to a training regimen at the Factory. The Knockout Factory has also had contenders and winners in mixed martial arts bouts in Ohio, and Mike routinely takes fi ghters across the country to compete in national events. Mike Tome is no stranger to boxing and the martial arts. “I’ve been involved with boxing and the martial arts all my life. I grew up watching Muhammad Ali and I’ve always been involved in fi ghting of some form.” He has attended professional judging and referee seminars and certifi cation classes given by the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC). The ABC provides a forum for State and Tribal Athletic Commissions from across the U.S. and Canada to set up national, organized regulations, certify referees and judges, and establish ratings criteria. These classes are meant to teach the basic fundamentals of judging and refereeing, ensure the health and safety of the fi ghter and preserve the integrity of the sport. Mike says, “Since opening my gym I have been diligently

educating myself and several Knockout Factory coaches in the complexities of regulating professional combat sports. We are now certifi ed to offi ciate fi ghts in any tribal or state jurisdiction in the U.S.A. but our focus is to bring professional boxing and mixed martial arts to our local area.” The Knockout Factory gym is open to the public and is free of charge from 6-8:30pm Monday through Friday. Certifi ed coaches are available for instruction. They can be reached at 716-945-3560. “The creation of a safe environment for youth to come to is very important to me.” One of the most successful events held by the Knockout Factory was at the 29th Annual Falling Leaves Festival in 2006. It was deemed a huge success, drawing upwards of 2,000 people. This is a show you don’t want to miss, so mark your calendar to see the fi ghts on Saturday, October 3 at 6pm. For more information and a complete schedule of events for the 32nd Annual Falling Leaves Festival, please contact the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce at 716-945-2034 or visit us online at www.salamancachamber.org

Building furniture has been a hobby of Mike Trainor’s for the past seven years, and an interest for even longer. His one-time hobby has since fl ourished into a fully fl edged business building custom furniture for clients from all over. He has now taken his custom furniture business one step further and will be opening a brand new store, The Ellicottville Trading Company, this coming Monday downstairs in the Kazoo II establishment at 18 Washington Street, Ellicottville. Using the space that was previously Kazoo’s toy department (which has since moved to the back of Arlene Solly’s well established store), Mike, a happy and jovial guy, will be featuring his own custom woodwork along with area artisans, selling one of a kind pieces ranging from Amish Rugs, place and door mats and hand crafted clocks, to hand painted mirrors and wall hangings and antiques. There are many unique items and “something for everyone”

in his new shop by talented artists, he said. One such artist that is represented at the Trading Company is Diane Hummel, who designs and crafts Southwestern objects such as hand painted gourds. Diane said that she “has always wanted to be a cowgirl” and has an affi nity for the Southwestern region of the country. Her detailed work complements the mostly western themed furniture and accessories that the Trading Post has to offer. Mike’s own work features items such as - but not limited to - benches, chairs and tables, using fi ne woods including black walnut, cherry and tap maple. His work uses mortis and tenon joinery and his attention to detail in his work is readily apparent; his enthusiasm and passion show in talking of his trade. Mike was in the building contracting trade for twenty-three years before deciding to delve into the custom made furniture business. “Each piece is one of a kind,” he said, describing the hand built furniture he makes. Ninety

percent of the stores goods are hand made as well. Currently residing in Lawtons, NY near Gowanda, he will soon be “building a woodworking shop” on property he owns in Mansfi eld to expand his growing business. He is excited about the new opening here in Ellicottville and is looking forward to a long lasting relationship with the town’s residents and visitors. Being a mountain ski town, his western themed work would be well suited in any of the area condos and chalets, and would fi t equally as well in a condo in Toronto or a home in Cleveland. He will be introducing “over fi fteen pieces” of his own custom woodwork for the initial opening and is quick to point out that he enjoys doing commissioned pieces as well and as such has a good following for his craftsmanship. His website for the Ellicottville Trading Company will soon be up and fully running at www.ellicottvilletrading.com. Don’t forget to stop downstairs at 18 Washington Street (Kazoo II) and welcome Ellicottville’s newest business owner to town!

Architectural DigestRandolph Children’s Home’s Lost Victorian Architecture

BY ANNE LONDON

If you traveled from Ohio to Holiday Valley in the 60s, as I did, you may remember passing by a children’s home in Randolph that appeared to be as spooky as the mansion on “The Munsters” set. If you do remember it, you and I may be the only ones, as no pictures seem to exist, and the staff members who responded to my inquiry seemed to feel that their campus had always been rather

beautiful. Anyway, I’ve been curious for years about this haunting visage, and so, using my post as the Architectural Digest writer as an excuse to drop by, I fi nally did so. I learned that the building I recalled, if it ever existed, (did I dream it? perhaps!) had been abandoned in 1959 and was left sitting idle throughout the 60s until it was razed in 1974. There were, however, a number of smaller buildings dedicated to such uses as a school, infi rmary,

nursery, administration building, and boys’ and girls’ living units. These buildings, all admirable examples of Victorian-era design, were each in turn sacrifi ced, as construction was completed, 1959 through 1967, of the modern LeFevre Buildings, built with a bequest from someone named Francis B. LeFevre. Besides the abovementioned buildings, a few private homes also graced the campus. Charles Merrill, for instance, CEO of the home from 1881 to 1907 and Superintendent from 1907 to 1924, lived in a two-story farmhouse which was recently torn down. Another home, maintained for use as a guest house, is currently awaiting its turn for demolition. What is left? Something magnifi cent. It is a three-story brick Italianate, built in 1863 and divested by the children’s home in 1960, now owned by Michael and Diana Mackey from Las Vegas, who purchased the home in 2003 after fi nding it advertised online. Michael and Diana had worked as a team restoring two houses for the purpose of selling them, but this home is not one they plan to fl ip. Rather, it’s a home Diana says she dreamed of since childhood, and though a lot of work still lies ahead, the couple is crazy about the place and plans to stay on for the rest of their days. Michael is skilled at framing, plumbing, electrical work, and masonry; Diana makes most of the decorating decisions, does plastering, painting, wallpapering, fl oor refi nishing, furniture restoration and upholstering. Sitting out back they have their own bought-and-paid-for man lift (I call it a two man cherry picker). These people are serious. They tried sub-contracting, were not happy with it, and say from here on out they’ll fi nish the job themselves, thank you very much. The home has 12½ foot ceilings on the fi rst fl oor, parlors on each side of the main entrance hall, a half-round work of original

etched glass above the front door, the original staircase, an original fi replace made of stone painted to resemble marble, a dining room with a glassed-in ‘conservatory’ and wainscoting of alternating dark and light woods. Since the home, at one time, was used to accommodate large numbers of students, there are, of course, numerous bedrooms and baths. The fi rst fl oor library as well as three of the upper level bedrooms are used as offi ces - one for Michael, one for

Diana, and two others dedicated to Diana’s jobs as Randolph Town Historian and Chairman of the Randolph Historical Society. Other bedrooms house Michael’s NASCAR collection, Diana’s medieval artifacts, antique sewing machines and loom, and art projects. While it’s a shame that so many unique examples of Victorian era architecture gave way to the modernization of the Randolph Children’s Home, there is consolation in seeing how the Mackeys are preserving the one

structure that is left – and also to peek in on the campus’s new buildings and note that there is great design there, great modern design, that is very pleasing min its own way. PS – If any of you aging skiers remember the 1960s Randolph Children’s Home as I’vedescribed it, please e-mail me, [email protected], and let me know that I didn’t imagine it. Thanks, Anne PPS – My thanks to Diana who provided the research that made this story possible.

The home has 12½ foot ceilings on the fi rst fl oor, parlors on each side of the main entrance hall, a half-round work of original etched glass above the front door, the original staircase, an original fi replace made of stone painted to resemble marble, a dining room with a glassed-in ‘conservatory’ and wainscoting of alternating dark and light woods.

Changes through the years made way for the new, modern facility.

Achieving Wellness and Optimal Health

Healthy Lifestyles

BY KATHERINE PRESTON

Body, Mind and Spirit: three simple words which are the foundation of total Wellness. Balance, moderation and quality are equally important. Together, they can lead to optimal physical and mental health. The following “checklist” can help to guide us on the path to positive wellbeing. Consume foods which are nutritionally sound: complex carbohydrates, protein, good fats and water. Remember the importance of vitamins and minerals as well. Through healthy food choices, we can supply our bodies with these necessary nutrients. Avoid exposure to toxins and carcinogens - found in highly processed foods, many household products and in the environment (pesticides, chemicals released into the air and soil). Engage in physical activity. A sound fi tness regime includes a 5-15 minute warm-up, a cardio-vascular activity,

resistance training and a fl exibility component (5-15 minutes). When we exercise, our brain releases endorphins, which elevate our minds to a positive, happy state. Also, we eliminate toxins from our bodies through perspiration. Don’t smoke and keep alcohol consumption moderate. Decrease the bad stress in you life. “Good” stress can motivate and encourage positive growth within us. “Bad” stress, however, can destroy our health. When we are stressed, our bodies release the hormone ‘cortisol’ which plays havoc with our blood pressure, blood sugar levels and immune system. Through the means of exercise, mediation, yoga, visualization, etc. we can control our reaction to stress. Take time out for you. Re-evaluate your priorities. By writing them down, you can see what is important to you. Acknowledge the difference between what you want and what you need. Consult them regularly. Listen to your inner self. A person who listens to their body and inner self truly achieves total wellbeing. Educate yourself and stay updated. Read labels. There is nothing more detrimental to your present and future health than ignorance. Don’t be afraid to get a second opinion or compare different teachings. Smile! Laugh out loud and hard! Stay “connected” with others and with your community. As human beings, we need to recognize our humanity. Do not stay angry. Like

fear, anger is another emotion which can destroy us, if not handled properly. Choose your battles carefully. Allow yourself 24 hours to decide if an issue is disturbing enough to deserve proper address. If not, let it go – and congratulate yourself for doing so! Love yourself. Recognize the uniqueness of who you are. If you wish to change anything, be realistic. Change should result in positive, progressive growth. Remember, it takes time, or ‘baby steps’. List your strategies and make sure they are personally achievable. Review them often and be open to changes as well. Do not expect perfection – in life, in others, nor in yourself. Be prepared to adapt to change - it’s ongoing. Learn to say ‘no’ – without guilt – to some requests. As well, delegate tasks and ask for assistance if and when you need it. There’s no weakness in doing so. Do not let pride rule you.

INGREDIENTS:1 eggplant (about 1-1/4 lbs.)1 egg white1 Tbsp. water3/4 cup fi ne dry breadcrumbsFreshly ground black pepper1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese, divided1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves2 1/2 cups tomato sauce*3/4 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese

METHOD: Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a jelly roll pan and one 8x11-1/2-inch baking dish with olive oil (we used olive oil spray).

BY MERRY & ALLEN RICHON

We, along with many other people, continue searching for ways to fi x eggplant dishes without using exorbitant amounts of oil in the process. We also struggle with the “to salt, or not to salt” issue, something we still haven’t resolved to our own satisfaction. After fi nding a recipe for Eggplant Parmesan on the Eating Well website, we decided to give it a try. The result was not just spectacular

- it was even better than we anticipated. We have since made it several times - not only for ourselves, but also for friends and family. All agree: it was delicious! As with most recipes, we made a few changes, which are refl ected in the recipe here. The original called for “tomato sauce” with no other instructions, so we used a very basic sauce recipe that works very well. That recipe follows the description portion of the eggplant recipe. Merry and Allen Richon live

in western North Carolina. They enjoy cooking, and for a number of years, have written recipe columns for two of their local newspapers, The Moultrie News and The Tryon Daily Bulletin. Their recipes, like those used by many people, come from a variety of sources. Many recipes have been altered substantially to accommodate personal tastes, or to improve fl avor or texture. The following recipe, along with many others, can be found on their website at www.comeintomykitchen.net

Eggplant Parmesan (serves 4)

This Week’s Recipe

As with most recipes, we made a few changes, which are refl ected in the recipe here. The original called for “tomato sauce” with no other instructions, so we used a very basic sauce recipe that works very well.

Cut eggplant crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Whisk egg white and water in a shallow dish until frothy. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip the eggplant slices into the egg-white mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared jelly roll pan. Bake for 15 minutes, turn the eggplant slices over, and bake until crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer. Stir fresh basil into tomato sauce. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange half of the eggplant slices over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Spoon 1 cup of the remaining sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Add a layer of the remaining eggplant slices and top with the remaining sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan or Asiago cheese. Bake, uncovered, until the sauce bubbles and the top is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

*We made a simple tomato sauce with 1 diced onion, sautéed in 1 Tbsp. olive oil; 3 large tomatoes, peeled and diced; 1 clove garlic, pressed; 1 8-oz can of tomato sauce (with no salt added); red pepper fl akes and Italian seasoning, to taste. Sauté the diced onion in olive oil until soft, add diced tomatoes, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Add tomato sauce, thin to desired consistency with water, and season to taste.

I was standing outside my apartment in Ellicottville, just taking in the day before heading out to work, when the Zombie woman and her entourage approached. They were all toting oversized golf bags and, obviously, contemplating an early lunch before heading back out to the links. Then she saw me. She looked as if a fl y had crawled into her mouth. A brief moment of disgust followed by a devious, slightly ravenous grin and I knew immediately what was coming. “How’s the whole health care debate going now?” she chortled. “I bet there’s a whole bunch of Democrats who wish they had voted for the other guy!” The grin wasn’t really a grin. I recognized the slight twitching at the corner of the mouth of a person who really wanted to spit on me. Not waiting for a reply, the Zombie woman turned to her slightly embarrassed posse and began whispering and giggling. I answered with my

usual response. I shrugged and headed to work. The beginning of another ten hour, mid-week restaurant shift. With that response I had totally destroyed her argument and she completely missed it. People who have never had to worry about putting food on the table or getting adequate health care have no convincing argument for the vast majority of “the rest of us.” It was Thursday. The “rest of us” had to work while she golfed. Case closed. That’s why we didn’t vote for the other guy and why we desperately fi ght for health care reform. That’s a true story, but it represents so much more than a disgruntled reader versus the evil, Liberal columnist. There’s a perverse game of chicken being played in our country right now and neither side is willing to budge. Why? Because they don’t understand each other. The last time I had the luxury of not working on a Thursday morning, I was laid off. Not exactly a luxury. I’m wondering when the last time Zombie lady had to decide which bills weren’t getting paid that month so she could eat or pay for medicine. I don’t blame her for being more “well off” than I am, I just wish she could see the world through my eyes for a little while and not be so snobbish if she can’t. These common differences have become the root of not only the health care debate, but the overall debate of what constitutes a proper American life. Do lobbyists, corporations and rich white people have the right to decide what’s best for the rest of us? Do we all have “stations” in American

society that allow things to run smoothly? Of course not and, if pushed, we’ll fi ght to prove it. On the other hand, if I were on the other side of the debate, how would I feel if my government told me that I had to help fi nance someone who, in my eyes, hadn’t earned the right to dip into my savings account? That’s the way most Americans see this debate. Us against them. Rich versus poor. Capitalism conquering Socialism. That’s not it though, and we need to try and understand where the real problem lies and meet each other somewhere in the middle. Our founders had a great idea when they decided to rise up against the crown and begin the American experiment. They saw a union run by the people for the people. They were aristocrats and farmers. Land owners and soldiers. Rich and poor. They were also imperfect. They owned slaves and, in most cases, didn’t really like each other. Politicians will always be politicians. They had to work together, however, in order to survive. Somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten how to work together. If we wish to survive as a people, we need to go back to the beginning. We need to recognize the examples of history in order to overcome the odds that are staked against us. The rest of the world still looks to America as a shining example of the imperfect trying to get it right. If all they see are a bunch of bickering idiots, then the experiment has failed. Comments?

Local wines and seasonal produce will be the key ingredients at the Harvest Wine Weekend, a celebration of the end of the grape harvest for the wineries along the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail. On November 7-8 and 14-15, each of the 21 wineries will choose a wine to pair with a recipe that highlights local autumn produce. The Harvest Wine Weekend, a ticketed event, is a self-guided tour over the 40-mile stretch of the wine trail. “What’s fun about these events is that there’s a very festive atmosphere, with people enjoying food and wines,” said Jennifer Johnson, president of the Chautuaqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail. Some of the wineries will decorate for the weekend, and there may still be activity in the

vineyards. “This year is a very late harvest because it was very rainy; we’re about three weeks behind where we usually are.” Although the wine trail has held similar events before - a chocolate weekend, Halloween, and celebrations throughout the holiday season - this will be the fi rst year with a weekend focusing on the end of the harvesting season, said Johnson. “Each winery is unique,” said Bill Merritt of Merritt Estate Winery, so the wine and food pairing at each is unique as well. The recipes for the Harvest Wine Weekend will be themed on local, seasonal food such as squash or pumpkins. Participants stopping at the South Shore Wine Company in North East, Pa. will get to sample butternut squash and white bean soup, paired with South Shore’s Traminette. For

previous wine-food pairings, recipes included dishes ranging from sirloin steak to pumpkin toffee cookies to stuffed pepper soup. Each participant receives a wine glass and booklet that includes the recipes from the wineries. For the Harvest Weekend, they will also receive a metal coaster with an engraving of grapes made by Wendell August Forge in Grove City, Pa. “We’re trying as much as possible to have a positive impact on the local economy,” Johnson said. Besides focusing on locally available produce, the wine trail also looked for local businesses to print recipe books and craft the coasters. The Harvest Weekend welcomes anyone, from the wine novice to the connoisseur. “Absolutely wine novices could come,” Johnson said. “It could start them down the track of fi nding the things they like.” However, she said, “If they’ve never ever been into a winery and don’t know what to expect, it might be overwhelming.” “It’s great exposure for someone that’s new,” Merritt said. Participants looking for more personal attention might want to visit on a Sunday, he said, since Saturday is typically the busier day. In previous years, the fi rst two weekends of November were reserved for a holiday wine weekend. This year, the wineries are reserving the last week of the year, between Christmas and New Year’s, to celebrate the holidays with an un-ticketed event. Tickets for the Harvest Wine Weekend are $35 per person. Visit www.chautauquawinetrail.org for ticketing information.

Too Busy For Church On Sundays? In an effort to accommodate the hectic schedules of the folks in our community, Little Valey Wesleyan Church will be offering a second worship service each week beginning on Saturday, Sept. 19th. The service will be essentially identical as the Sunday morning service - same scripture, same message, same music, etc., except that it will be a bit more laid-back and on Saturday evening sfrom 6:30-7:45pm. So if you are someone who cannot or would rather not attend church on Sunday morning, give Saturday night a try at LVW. For more information, please call Pastor Buck Hall at 716-938-6190.
