Some time in the late 1960’s, radio went underground. Not really, but playing rock albums as opposed to popular singles helped foster the growth of FM radio. In those days, laid-back announcers were often free to play songs you did not hear on AM stations. You could hear anything from the Beatles and Rolling Stones to Joni

Mitchell and Chuck Mangione on an “underground” or free-form FM stereo station (Stereo was new then!) without turning your dial. Sometimes entire albums were featured, such as “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” “The White Album,” or “Jesus Christ Superstar.” And of course, the Who’s “Tommy.” Radio has changed a lot since those days with station playlists becoming

much more restrictive. But the music from “Tommy” lives on. It can be found not just on the radio and in the 1975 Robert Stigwood movie, but on the stage. Jamestown Community College is presenting its own version of what turned out to be the fi rst rock opera. Opening night for the production by the JCC Uncommoners is November

By Eric Hund, University of Pittsburgh at BradfordHistorically, the ancient peoples celebrated the date as the turning point between fall and winter, a date straddling summer’s time of plenty and winter’s potential famine. In the ancient world, the holiday symbolized a change from life to death.Beginning in the 19th century, Halloween began to take on a purely secular nature, one based on kids having fun. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Irish-American immigrants helped popularize the celebration nationally, and Americans began following the European tradition of dressing up in costumes and going from house to house asking for food and money. Thus the tradition of trick-or-treating was born.

As part of its fourth annual “Experience the Culture” event, which celebrates National American Indian Heritage month, the Seneca Allegany Casino will host an art show in collaboration with the Seneca Nation Tourism Division and the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum. “We are celebrating by bringing the best and brightest in Native American art to Seneca Allegany Casino,” states to the casino’s website (www.senecaalleganycasino.com). “We will feature one-of-a-kind art from over 15 members of the Seneca Artist Guild, a non-profi t community organization dedicated to promoting and supporting Seneca and other Haudenosaunee artists.” The casino started the “Experience

the Culture” celebration as a way to bring more awareness to its patrons who often asked about the cultural signifi cance of the unique décor, said Annie Tallchief, strategic marketing manager at the casino. “November is National American Indian Heritage month so that’s why it’s in November, but also we wanted to give a new experience to our patrons that come here.” Each year the casino tries to offer something new to enrich the patrons’ experience at the “Experience the Culture” celebration. “This is the fi rst year of the art show,” said Tallchief. “We try to offer people different experiences. One year we had people actually selling their crafts (and this year) we still have the dancing, but this

is our fi rst take at an art show.” The art show will feature Native-made artwork in a variety of mediums including “basketry, cornhusk dolls, beadwork, moccasins, stone (carvings), bone (carvings), wood carvings, drawings and paintings, traditional clothing, sculpture and jewelry,” said Tallchief. More than 15 members of the Seneca Artist Guild contributed work to the show. On Friday Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. there will be an opening reception to hopefully encourage people to attend the art show, said Tallchief. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served and artists will be in attendance, giving

Members of the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency began their annual meeting on October 26th with a tour of the nearly completed Napoleon Engineering Services facility on Johnson Street in North Olean. They posed questions about the business to owner Chris Napoleon, who gave a presentation describing the company’s operations and the market for its custom ball bearings and related testing and bearing inspection services. The IDA learned that Napoleon Engineering plans to hold an open house either this winter or in the spring. The new 20,000 square foot building should be operational by the

Ellicottville and neighboring communities are gearing up for this weekend’s Halloween celebrations. There are plenty of fun events planned locally for both kids and adults. On Friday October 29th, at noon, students from ECS in grades K-5 will venture downtown to parade Ellicottville’s Main Street, collecting trick-or-treat treasures from the businesses they pass. On Saturday, the American Legion on Maples Road will host a Halloween Party for kids from 6-8pm. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ellicottville, the evening will provide fun and games in a safe and supervised environment. The party is free admission for all and all local children are invited. Beginning at 8pm, The American Legion will offer an adult Halloween party as well where only guests who are age 21 and older will be admitted. Regular trick-or-treat hours in the Village of Ellicottville will be Saturday from 6-9pm. For adults, many of the bars and restaurants in town are holding Costume Contests, including Balloons, the Gin Mill, Double Diamond and Madigan’s (see their ads in this issue.) Nightmare Hayrides also invites the public to come out and get spooked during their last weekend of the season. Hours for the haunted hayrides are Friday and Saturday from 7:30-9:30pm. Happy Halloween to everyone! And please remember to be safe.

The IDA Executive Director noted the upcoming Holiday Valley Job Fair on October 30 as an example of why the IDA lends so much support to the ski resort. “It’s a great thing. It shows the economic engine that the ski resorts are.” The IDA granted the ski resorts tax incentives that helped build the new Morning Star lift at Holiday Valley (above left, middle), as well as the new Westmont Ridge Project (formallry known as the Canfi eld project) at HoliMont. Both Ski Areas have also invested in updating equipment such as the new Zaugg Pipe Cutter which is ideal for building half pipes, HoliMont aquired this year (above,right).

Community Food DriveEllicottville Cub Scouts Event for Local Food Pantry at Tops, Nov. 13

And wasn’t it a beauty? Nature has its own version of “trick or treat” you know. And for the majority of the month, it was a real pleasure for those of us who relish the crisp

weather, the blue skies and the gorgeous palate of colors one can only fi nd in the Enchanted Mountains. And now? We’re down to one last weekend – one last fl ing for fall. The transition to November can be a rough one, so you better saddle up and come on in to Ellicottville this weekend to see some sights of a different variety. I speak, of course, of the trick or treaters. Halloween falls on a Sunday night this year, and the early evening hours are for the little ones to parade from house to house dressed as their favorite super hero, pop star, ghost, robot or witch. The kids get so darned excited – it’s kind of contagious, isn’t it? I usually (accidentally) buy way too much candy - so I throw out the leftover Snickers and Milky Way bars… Yes, ahem – that’s what I do. Don’t you? While the wee ones empty their pillow cases and count their loot, no doubt the village will

have more than its fair share of slightly more mature revelers and lunatics, also dressed in a wide (and sometimes strange) array of frightening garb. I’ll lay odds we’re going to see more than one Lady GaGa dancing the night away at Balloons. And don’t be surprised to see Cuomo and Paladino arm-in-arm having a cold one at the Gin Mill. And over at the Double Diamond? Well, Brooks really knows how to throw a Halloween party, and the stranger the costume, the better he likes it. And don’t forget to visit our good friends over at Sommerville Valley’s “Haunted Hayride.” Just the ticket to get you in the spirit of things, (pun intended). So, dear readers, the last weekend of October can hold a lot of fun for folks of all ages. Pull out something interesting, put it on, and c’mon downtown! Happy Halloween, y’all! Until next week… JZ

Letter to the EditorHealth Insurance Or Health CARE

About ten years ago my mother, now 88, went to her physician for a checkup. She told him that she was experiencing some numbness in her foot. He examined her and prescribed an MRI; he believed that the problem was in her spine. Her insurance company didn’t approve this, saying that physical therapy was a better (cheaper?) course of action. She did the physical therapy,

even as the numbness increased. By the time the MRI was approved (one year later) permanent nerve damage had caused ‘drop foot.’ The MRI identifi ed the condition that the doctor had diagnosed a year

earlier. She had to have the surgery that, if performed in a timely manner, would have prevented the degeneration that caused the ‘drop foot.’ Since that time, it’s been necessary for her to wear a clumsy brace. She has fallen multiple times on her short walk to her local church. So far, no broken bone, just sprains, bruises and a nasty black eye, but she’s afraid to do many things now, and we all worry. We visit when we can. One daughter sees her once a week, a son-in-law more often, my brother and I less often. No one wants to pay for insurance; we want to pay for care. Why

do we pay 30% of our health care dollars for administration of a private health care system that profi ts from denial of services and delay when we could be spending 3 to 5% for administration of a single payer system that is focused on health, on prevention, on CARE? That’s one reason I’m looking hard at Howie Hawkins, the Green Party candidate for governor. The wasted votes are those for the Demumblicans that have, together, created the dysfunctional mess that passes for a government in New York State.--Bob Brachmann, Little Valley

Halloween Safety TipsRed Cross Offers Cool Ideas to Keep You Safe

• Walk, slither, and sneak on sidewalks, not in the street. • Look both ways before crossing the street; check for cars, trucks, and low-fl ying brooms; cross only at corners. • Don’t hide or cross the street between parked cars. • Wear light-colored or refl ective-type clothing so you are more visible. (And remember to put refl ective tape on bikes, skateboards, and brooms, too!) • Plan your route and share it with your family. If possible, have an adult with you. • Carry a fl ashlight to light your

way. • Visit homes that have the porch light on. Accept your treats at the door and never go into a stranger’s house. • Be cautious of animals and strangers. • Have a grown-up inspect your treats before eating. And don’t eat candy if the package is already opened. Small, hard pieces of candy are a choking hazard for young children. For further information or any questions you may have, contact your local Red Cross at 372-5800 in Olean.

OLEAN – The Santa Claus Lane Committee and the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce are hosting and presenting an amateur fl oat-building workshop on Wednesday, November 3, at Jamestown Community College, LLAC 308, Olean, 6 – 7:30 PM. The workshop is free and open to the public. The workshop will focus

on design concept; fl oat construction, decorative material ideas, parade day appearance and more. The

workshop can help participants in the Santa Claus Lane Parade that is set for Friday, November 26, in downtown Olean. “For many people, the parade has developed into a pilgrimage to the City of Olean on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Since it marks the beginning of the holiday season, Santa Claus Lane draws from as far as Rochester and Buffalo to the north, Jamestown and Erie, PA from the west, Allegany

and Wyoming counties to the east and McKean and Potter counties to the south. We want to encourage more fl oats in the parade created by area schools, local businesses, non-profi ts, youth groups and more,” added Meme Yanetsko, COO of Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce. For more information regarding Santa Claus Lane, to reserve your spot at the workshop, or for questions, please call 716/372-4433 or email [email protected].

The event took place at Elkdale Country Club in Salamanca, on Sunday, October 24. This year’s Benebration was a very entertaining, energetic music festival! The day was beautiful; from the weather to each musician sharing their talents. ‘Gotta Kiss Cancer Goodbye’ would like to express their sincere appreciation to: Todd Barnes, Dean Whitcomb, Ange & Luke, Rev 13, Stone Row and 90 West for their time and outstanding performances. Without their time and effort, this event wouldn’t have been possible. Steve MacIver, the drummer and singer from 90 West (www.90west.com) donated his time and equipment to help with this event because he was so touched by the cause after losing his daughter to cancer in 2003. Please visit www.lindsays5k.com to learn more about what his family is doing to support childhood cancer research. Elkdale Country Club and their fantastic staff worked hard and did a great job throughout the day. There was an outpouring of support from area businesses and individuals, including: Randolph Auto, CCSE Credit Union, Ferguson Printing, Sealed with Love, LaCroix Productions, Swan Street Florist, Mel Shongo of “All Sugared Up” and Jill O’Brien. Thank you to everyone who donated auction items and those who purchased tickets and contributed to the event. Gotta Kiss Cancer Goodbye would not be able to carry out it’s mission without all of you!

Inside Business TrackRandolph Area Community Development Corporation (RACDC)

BY MEGAN O’DONNELLST. BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY

Operating since 2003, the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation (RACDC) has been promoting its downtown area, catching the eyes of not only locals, but tourists too. The RACDC received its 501-C3 status from the IRS 7 years ago, allowing it to run as an offi cial not-for-profi t organization. The RACDC’s 12-member board wanted the corporation to run not only as an organization serving businesses, but one that serves the community as a whole. “We function partially as a chamber of commerce, but we are involved in other aspects of the community as well,” said Tonia McAllister, executive director. However, the goal of the corporation goes even further than that. “The mission of the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation is to facilitate and promote the development of our community by helping achieve the growth of our commercial, industrial, agricultural business sectors, as well as attracting new retail and downtown businesses. We are committed to the enhancement of the general quality of life and appeal of the Randolph area, making it a very desirable place to live,” according to RACDC’s mission statement. Originally, Randolph had a business association that tried to boost the local economy, but eventually it evolved into the RACDC. The corporation began with close to 40 businesses involved, and now has 45. McAllister says that even though the number may not have grown by much, the businesses involved have changed over the years. The RACDC also helps new businesses grow and develop. “If it wasn’t for the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation I probably wouldn’t be here … she’s (McAllister) has just been a real asset helping get businesses going,” said Lorrie Milliman, co-owner of the newly opened The Pickle Barrel. “RACDC does a lot for Randolph that people don’t even see.”

The mission of the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation is to facilitate and promote the development of the community by helping achieve the growth of commercial, industrial, agricultural business sectors, as well as attracting new retail and downtown businesses.

To improve tourism the RACDC promotes the New York Amish Trail, which in turn helps the local economy prosper. The development corporation runs mostly off of grants provided by various groups as well as the state. Just recently, the New York State Offi ce of Community Renewal awarded the RACDC a $345,000 grant that will reimburse up to 75 percent of the money spent on any energy upgrades, lighting changes and many other things for businesses and apartments in the downtown area. “It will effect Main street businesses as well as support all of us (in the community),” McAllister said. The corporation hosts many different activities and community events throughout the year, including the Country Christmas Festival, which takes place the fi rst weekend in December. The festival will consist of the usual festivities: a craft show, the festival of trees and Santa Clause will be present for the young and young at heart. However, there have been many new additions for this year. For the fi rst year, the school will be putting on a secret Christmas play that will have different parts taking place at various businesses throughout Randolph. The RACDC has extended their Snowfl ake Walk to not last just during the weekend, but it will run from Nov. 26 through Dec. 18, offering even bigger prizes than years past. The corporation will also be raffl ing off many Amish-made goods throughout the weekend. Over the summer, RACDC hosts two major projects: the 39th Annual Arts and Crafts Festival in June and the fi ve-week Weeden Summer Day

Camp. The camp costs $20 perweek and has children involvedin community service activities,arts and crafts projects, plays,talent shows and other funactivities for kids to enjoy. Thecamp runs four days a week.RACDC offers scholarships tothose who may not be able toafford to pay for the camp. The RACDC believes that itpulls the community togetherthrough its various activities.Just this month it participatedin “Make-a-Difference Day”that gathered the communitytogether to have neighbor helpneighbor on various projects. A key component of theRACDC is how they go aboutimproving the area. “There isa great deal of communicationamongst all of us (businesses) …communication takes the highestpriority,” said Tom Congdon,board president and co-owner ofthe Randolph Retail Company. The board meets once a monthto oversee the direction of thecorporation and determineswhere it’s headed and whattypes of programs it believesMcAllister should be focusingon. Businesses can join theRACDC for an annual fee of$50.00. The RACDC is currentlyworking on developing acommunity center with anaquatic component, McAllistersaid. Members believe that thecenter could be a reality withinthe next fi ve years. “I look forward to seeingthings change for the positive,”Condong said. For more information on theRACDC or how to join, call716-358-9701 or visit www.randolphny.net.

The RACDC believes that it pulls the community together through its various activities. Just this month it participated in “Make-a-Difference Day” that gathered the community together to have neighbor help neighbor on various projects.

Historically, the ancient peoples celebrated the date as the turning point between fall and winter, a date straddling summer’s time of plenty and winter’s potential famine. In the ancient world, the holiday symbolized a change from life to death.

BY ERIC HUNDUNIV. OF PITT. AT BRADFORD

When most people think of Halloween visions of ghosts, ghouls and goblins pass their mind, or at least images of kids dressed up like said monsters. And, of course, you can’t forget about the candy and pranks. These are all aspects of the holiday that has endured itself to our collective conscious. Today, Americans spend an estimated $6.9 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest commercial holiday after Christmas. However, the holiday, held each year on Oct. 31, once had far deeper religious meanings. The origins of the holiday trace back to a mixture of ancient Celtic, Roman and early Catholic religious rituals, with a large dash of ancient European folk traditions thrown in as well. Historically, the ancient peoples celebrated the date as the turning point between fall and winter, a date straddling summer’s time of plenty and winter’s potential famine. In the ancient world, the holiday symbolized a change from life to death. The ancient Celts, who lived in the region of present day United Kingdom, Ireland and France, celebrated their holiday Samhain on Nov. 1, the day they held as the start of a new year. The word Samhain roughly translates as “summer’s end” and the Celts associated the season with death, due to the harvest ending and the cold, dark winter months to follow. They also believed that on the eve of Samhain the worlds of the living and of the dead would become distorted. According to History.com, “Halloween has long been thought of as a day when the dead can return to the earth, and ancient Celts would light bonfi res and wear costumes to ward off these roaming ghosts.” The Celts would burn sacrifi ces in the fi res to appease the spirits and gods, and wore animal skins and masks to ward of the spirits

and aid them in fortunetelling. At about the same period in history, the Romans were celebrating their own religious holidays honoring and appeasing their dead ancestors. The Parentalia, celebrated in mid-February, focused on honoring their departed ancestors, and its closing celebration the Feralia involved families offering sacrifi ces at the sites of their ancestors’ graves. The Romans celebrated another rite in May called Lemuria. This ritual attempted to exorcise malevolent spirits of the dead from the Romans’ houses. While a direct link between Roman ritual and Halloween is unclear, the Romans did play one major role in the development of Halloween. Their conquest of Celtic Gaul helped aid in the spread of Christianity, and the current name of the holiday. Christianity had reached Northern Europe by the end of the ninth century, and Pope Boniface IV had designated Nov. 1 as a time to honor saints and martyrs, called All Saints’ Day or All-hallowmas. According to History.com, “It is widely believed today that the pope was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related, but church-sanctioned holiday.” Eventually the night before All Saints’ Day became known as All-hallows Eve, and eventually just Halloween. Early European immigrants brought Halloween to America. While settlers in the stricter Protestant region of New England rarely celebrated the

holiday, it had a much stronger following in Maryland and the southern colonies where it meshed with American Indian beliefs to create a uniquely American version of Halloween. This version of Halloween featured public events held to celebrate the harvest and included ghost stories, fortunetelling, dancing and singing. Beginning in the 19th century, Halloween began to take on a purely secular nature, one based on kids having fun. In the second half of the nineteenth century, Irish-American immigrants helped popularize the celebration nationally, and Americans began following the European tradition of dressing up in costumes and going from house to house asking for food and money. Thus the tradition of trick-or-treating was born. In the late 1800’s community groups began pushing Americans to remove the “frightening imagery” and “witchcraft” from the events and focus on parties and get-togethers. This event helped remove the last remnants of religious observance and created the modern secular holiday. Trick-or-treating revived in popularity between the 1920’s and 1950’s, aided by the post war baby booms. The inexpensive cost of handing out treats to children allowed the entire community to take part in the festivities, and hence we have Halloween, as we know it today.

Napoli Pizza AwardedOlean Chamber Honors Local Business With 2010 Enterprising Business

OLEAN – Napoli Pizza has been named recipient of the 2010 Enterprising Business award given by Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce. The award honors those who exemplify the enterprising spirit of community and com-mercial growth in the greater Olean community and will be presented at the GOACC 105th Annual Dinner sched-uled for Thursday, November 4, at Premier Banquet Center. The Enterprising Business

Award is the highest distinc-tion for a business given by the Chamber’s 705 members. The Award is given annually to a privately owned business in the greater Olean area that demonstrates a well-planned, thorough and serious approach to business development and exemplifi es the unique “home-town” charm of the area in manners of administration, customer service and quality of product. GOACC will also be recognizing Olean General Hospital with the 2010 Enter-prising Business award (their information will be out this week). Napoli Pizza has been a

member of the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce for over 16 years. Napoli has had a long regional presence in Olean, opening in 1982. After 27 years in the same spot on East State Street, Tony Procac-ci decided it was time for a move. The new restaurant, Tony’s Napoli Pizza, is just a couple lots from the old one, keeping the tradition of the restaurant on Olean’s east side. Opening on May 6, 2009; the new building offers the Olean

area more than just a pizza joint. Though Tony Procacci’s pizzas are award-winning, he offers an expanded menu, along with a larger dining room and outdoor patios to sit in the summer months. Cur-rent employment at the new restaurant has risen from 16 to 29. Tony has followed in the footsteps of his father, Italo Procacci, who opened the Napoli Pizza in Bradford, Pa. Keeping things in the family, they also have a restaurant in Salamanca, run by Tony’s son. The family also had a restau-rant in in Wellsville but that site was sold off a few years ago. Tony continues the commit-ment to excellence, both in quality of his food and service to his customers. He has been on the pizza industry circuit, served on the Pizza Olympics, given recipe demonstrations and won pizza dough contests. His “pie that you can not deny” continues to be a suc-cess and, along with the charm of the new restaurant, has made Tony’s Napoli Pizza an award winning enterprise. “Small businesses make a big impact. It’s their activity that keeps the area vibrant, supply-ing valuable jobs and deliver-ing the goods and services that make our lives a bit easier. Napoli Pizza has substanti-ated history as an established business; has sustained expan-sion, and has seen a growth in number of employees,” said Jim Stitt, Jr., GOACC Board President. An informal reception will start at 6 PM, with the dinner

slated for 7 PM. Tickets for the event are $42 with a menu of Mediterranean Chicken with Pasta. Patron dinner tickets for $52 and corporate tables of eight for $500 are also available to reserve. Pa-trons and corporates receive a listing in the dinner program. Please call Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce at 372-4433 or e-mail [email protected] for reservations by Octo-ber 29 or more information on the dinner ceremony.

I drove up to 10 Dublin Meadows and discovered a cute and cozy cabin. I have to say that when it comes to houses, it is not the quantity but the quality.

Story and PhotosBy John Thomas

For the past several weeks in this space I have written about some rather large houses, so I was a little taken aback when I drove up to 10 Dublin Meadows and discovered not a behemoth of a home, but a cute and cozy log cabin. After the past couple of weeks, I had been expecting a house the size of a small county, but I guess I have to say that when it comes to houses, it is not the quantity but the quality. Walking through the front door, I step right into the kitchen and what is immediately apparent is the quality of the woodwork and furnishings. The “L” shaped kitchen occupies a corner of the house. The fl oor here and throughout the main level is a handsome stone tile, making for easy maintenance. The cabinets in the kitchen are oak with a medium stain that blends with the beautiful marble countertops. The window over the double sink looks out over the driveway, so you can see when your guests are arriving. The electric range and oven fi t in a generous cutout in the cabinets, and next to it is a cubby for the microwave. This is after all, a log home and so the knotty log walls extend throughout the house.

Just off the kitchen is the dining room. A large dining room table fi ts in the space without feeling cramped. In the corner is an attractive rustic china hutch. The two windows look out to the view across the lawn to the hills beyond. Between the dining room and the living room is a built-in bar with a wine rack. Once in the living room, the dining room gives way to an open cathedral ceiling. Looking up through the open beams the knotty pine walls extend high overhead. At the far end of the room is a huge stone wood-burning fi replace. In the corner is a television, which I sort of felt sorry for. With a grand fi re in the fi replace and the view out the windows, who is going to pay attention to the TV? The leather sofas and other furnishings have been well chosen to compliment the rustic feel of the room. A door in the living room leads to the front deck, with its view across the lawn to over to the hills. It is a great place to spend a lazy summer afternoon or take in autumn’s splendor. The deck runs the length of the house, so there is room for a table and some chairs, and a bar be que. Back inside on the main level is a bedroom and bath with a shower stall. Downstairs is a walk out basement, which is

ready to fi nish. One area holds the washer and dryer. A second area has hooks and storage for plenty of outdoor gear, or it could be converted to another use. Just off the kitchen is the stairway to the upper level. From the landing I can look down to the living room. The master bedroom is situated here. It is roomy, and with its log walls and ceiling, feels like a romantic get-away spot. The master bath with its painted red walls, adds a whimsical touch, and it features a tub/shower combination. On this fl oor also is an open bunk-room with a set of bunk beds. Altogether this cabin will sleep six comfortably. It is a cold rainy day, but I decide to man-up (to use a current popular phrase) and walk around the property. When I reach the side of the house I get a delightful surprise; off the back of the house is a good-sized pond. I could not tell if there are fi sh in it, but it is certainly big enough. At 1.35 acres, the property is big enough to stretch out and set up any kind of lawn game you like. As I walk back to the side of the house, I discover a gravel drive that leads from the paved driveway to the side of the house. Well, actually it leads to a garage door on the lower lever

of the house. I had not expected that, and when I go up to peak through the windows I see a full-sized single car garage with plenty of storage and access to the basement. This means no trudging through a foot of snow to get the groceries in the house. I have found a lot of log homes seem to sacrifi ce at least some comfort and convenience for the sake of rustic appeal. This home asks none of that; it is rustic and charming throughout without compromising on comfort or space. A good thing in a small package indeed. This home is currently being offered by Tina Dillon of ERA Vacation Properties. For more information on it call her at 716-474-5646

Opinion:

Truth Or ConsequencesSanity Anyone?

BY DOUG ARROWSMITH

Sanity anyone? Man, America, despite it’s tendency to be a bit bi-polar, used to be a heck of a place to live. Our people were a proud people. Bold and decisive. Strong and reasonable. You could disagree with your neighbor but still invite him/her over for barbeques on the weekends. These days, however, your neighbor is an idiot. He’s a Liberal/Tea Bagger/Terrorist/immigrant/Communist/Fanatic. His campaign signs should be ripped down and his children just might be spies. Your former barbeque buddy needs to be stopped. A line has been drawn. We all hate each other. Welcome to the mid-term election season. It takes a lot to shock me, but, seeing a woman get stomped on by Rand Paul supporters outside a debate in Kentucky, sure did do the trick. The woman, a member of the activist group moveon.org, was there as a protestor and, instead, ended up on the ground, surrounded by men intent on stomping the Liberalism out of her. I should have seen this coming. The signs are everywhere, at least they used to be. My buddy Tom had his Coumo for Governor sign stolen last week right out of his front

window on Washington Street. Democracy at it’s fi nest. So, where are the reasonable people? The people who don’t see Hitler in every politician they disagree with? The people who don’t fi nd it helpful to spit on folks who look or act differently then them? The neighbors who don’t invite you over for that weekend barbeque just so they can ransack your house while you’re away? They’re at work, that’s where. They have lives. In other words, they’ll be rallying in DC this Saturday, October 30th thanks to the most trusted man in America, Jon Stewart. Stewart, in response to Glenn Becks gathering of venomous demons a few months ago, is staging the “Rally to Restore Sanity” at the foot of the Washington Monument this Saturday. It is a call for all Moderates, the silent majority, to be heard (in polite tones). It is a comedic call for reasonableness. Surprisingly, it just might make a difference. Recent polls, leading up to next weeks elections, have shown a narrowing of the margins in the expected GOP landslide. Why? Because moderates who had planned on sitting this one out are waking up to the dangers of electing slogans instead of actual reasonable humans. When we see Americans beating the snot out of each other over political differences, it’s time to get worried. In a fi ght like that, neither side is right and neither side can win. Political fanatics are no better then religious fanatics. They might be just as dangerous to democracy. Stewart, it seems, might be staging the October surprise. The media, of course, is not amused by all the attention Stewarts rally is

receiving. Why? Because shouting and violence get better ratings than polite, reasonable discourse. The powers that be at the 24 hour “news” networks cannot understand why a fake newsman like Stewart continually gets voted as Americas most trusted journalist, a title once held by Walter Cronkite! The reason is obvious. They’re all fake newsmen and women busking for different ideologies. Stewart just happens to be funnier while, simultaneously, pointing out our idiocy. When Glenn Beck explains his disbelief of Evolution by saying (I couldn’t make this up if I tried) that he’s “never seen a half man half monkey” ratings skyrocket. So do Stewarts when he shows that clip of Beck and points out the fact that Beck has contradicted himself on the subject a hundred times over. I, for one, am pretty excited about the big event on Saturday and I’m thankful that Comedy Central is actually going to show the whole thing. Despite what Liberals (like myself) and Conservatives would have you believe, it’s the moderates that make up the majority of us. There’s a reason why Liberal states like California and New York elect Republican Governors and Liberal Senators. Same thing in reverse for Red states like Kansas. We always end up drifting back towards the middle. We’re a worried, self-correcting lot and that’s how it should be. Because of that tendency and, with a little help from Stewart and his army of polite people, we might just be in for an election surprise next Tuesday. Except for New York. Despite what I said earlier about reasonable discourse, Paladino is still crazy.

Being Selective when Purchasing Fitness Equipment

BY KATHERINE PRESTON

As we head into November, retail stores are already promoting the sales of fi tness equipment for Christmas in their weekly fl yers. Fitness equipment can be a great choice! However, the most effective pieces don’t need to be expensive and “the latest and the greatest”! Instead, simple, basic pieces can offer the safest, most effective workouts. Also, always consider the alignment and safety of your spine that will occur when using a piece. Avoid pieces that cause unnecessary spinal strain or misalignment and that risk exceeding a joint’s range of motion.

The BOSU Ball is very versatile. It can tremendously enrich a workout and is very performance-effective when integrated into an exercise! The key elements of balance, posture, core strength, spinal alignment and abdominal engagement are constantly challenged. Both cardio and resistance training can be addressed through its use in a wide variety of exercises. Free weights are also very versatile. Also, they are mobile, space-saving, affordable and can be purchased individually. Unlike stationary weight machines, free weights allow a muscle group to be worked at more than one set angle. Look for one piece or “dial up” dumbbells: plates need to be re-set often, taking time and affecting your workouts’ momentum. The Stability Ball can be integrated into many exercises, while constantly working your abs. This piece is also very cost- effective, space-saving and mobile. Shop around, as prices can greatly vary! A 55 cm Ball fi ts a person of average height; 65 cm is for taller individuals. In addition to your standard Ball, it’s useful to also have a slightly smaller Ball for certain exercises. A simple fl at/ incline bench

with an adjustable incline can enrich your workouts. Be aware that benches do vary. Look for one with a strong construction: separate, thick, widely- spread legs that guarantee no shifting. Also focus on length, width and height, remembering that your feet should always rest fl at on the ground when executing an exercise on a bench. If racks are included, they should exhibit a wide base for balance and should never interfere with your shoulders’ range of motion. Body bands/ pulleys are affordable, mobile and space-saving and can substitute for free weights in various exercises. They are especially great for those who travel. Different colours determine various degrees of intensity. Check them for brittleness and avoid sun or heat exposure. Made of latex, they’re not suitable for those with a latex allergy. An 8-10” diameter ball is affordable and very effective for working the abs and inner thighs.

4th in the Scharmmann Theater on the Jamestown Campus. Additional shows are scheduled for November 5, 6, 12, 13, 19 and 20, at 8 p.m. Plus, there’s one matinee performance on November 14th at 2 p.m. The JCC production has been years in the making. Director Robert Schlick said, “It’s our kind of show,” referring to a long-running discussion of doing “Tommy” with Steve Gustafson (of the 10,000 Maniacs), who’s providing the technical direction. “It’s a rock opera we both remember from the original album. We felt we could do it justice with a production some day. So after last year’s success with ‘The Producers,’ it was decided to go in a completely different direction. And ‘Tommy’ certainly qualifi ed. So this time, we picked it!” The story of Tommy is that of a deaf, dumb and blind boy who becomes a pinball wizard and attracts many youthful followers. Schlick notes that some lyrics and ideas have been changed, and a new song has been added. “This song, called ‘I Believe My Own Eyes’ gives a chance for Tommy’s mother and father to expand upon their characters. It’s not a song one could have imagined The Who performing in concert, but it’s a good song nonetheless.” According to Director Robert Schlick, “One interesting thing about the show is that the character of Tommy is actually played by three different actors. They are a four-year-old boy, a ten-year-old boy, and a twenty-year-old young man. The twenty-year-old Tommy, played by JCC student Colin Braeger, acts as the narrator for much of the fi rst part of the show. Schick notes that the stage ending is different from the album. He calls the stage ending uplifting, even though Tommy is rejected by his followers. “How this changes from the original version is just something the audience will have to experience for themselves.” When he fi rst heard that JCC planned to do ”Tommy,” Colin

Braeger was “very excited. I have been a fan of the show since my father played the soundtrack in the car for hours and hours years ago.” He continues, “I have worked with Steve Gustafson through both JCC’s Scharmann Theater and his band ‘10,000 Maniacs’ for several years, so I was very excited to have him working for me this time!” Braeger continues that the role is a diffi cult one “for several reasons, fi rstly the caliber of music. I’m singing the same score the professionals sing on Broadway and it’s defi nitely been a lot of work getting my chops up, for which I thank Kate Amatuzzo for all the work she’s put in with me.” Braeger also notes that not being an actor or dancer requires he put in extra time and work in some

end of the year. The IDA then conducted its annual meeting at the Old Library Restaurant. They approved just one resolution, dealing with HoliMont Inc. At the board’s previous meeting on September 21st, the IDA induced the HoliMont project to go forward, according to Executive Director Corey Wiktor. “We basically needed to satisfy the environmental studies as well as hold a public hearing. We’ve completed both of those steps. Today was an approving resolution, so now HoliMont can go forward and start requesting their sales tax exemption letters from the IDA for their projects, roughly about $700,000.” The resolution applies to snowmaking equipment and improvements made to the Terrain Park at HoliMont in 2010. Wiktor then gave his Executive Director’s report. He noted the upcoming Holiday Valley Job Fair on October 30 as an

example of why the IDA lends so much support to the ski resort. Wiktor notes, “It’s a great thing. It shows the economic engine that the ski resorts are. They’re not just recreation, there’s an economic side (as well). They are looking to fi ll 850 positions, and that’s a huge (investment) for the employment base. So it helps out a lot of people who may have a part-time job to pick up another one, or a full-time job.” Wiktor noted the great turnout during the Fall Fest weekend when HoliMont broke ground for their new WestMont Ridge. The resort describes the groundbreaking as an historic event, marking the start of a $22 million project that will add $10-million in new amenities. Wiktor says, “It’s another testament to HoliMont, which is the nation’s largest private ski resort that we’re lucky to have right here in Cattaraugus County.” The IDA acknowledged the service of Bob Izard from Empire State Development. He is the state representative for the agency in an area covering Cattaraugus, Chautauqua,

IDACONT. FROM FRONT PAGE

and Allegany Counties. Wiktor notes, “Bob has been here roughly ten years in his capacity, and has really assisted Cattaraugus County and this IDA over the last ten years. He is our liaison with the state. We’ll be missing him.” Bob Izard will be retiring in December. The IDA will not be meeting in November. Their next meeting is set for Tuesday December 14 at 10:30am, at which time members will be presented with the 2011 Cattaraugus County IDA operating budget.

areas. “And the most diffi cult portion has been living up to the character, having that huge presence on stage and turning a musical into a rock and roll show.” Director Robert Schlick expects “Tommy” to attract the older crowd who know the album and also a younger audience not necessarily familiar with all the songs. “Our belief is that a great rock show is still a great rock show, whether you’re familiar with the music or not. And our expectation is that we will have a lot of young people leaving the theater deciding they are now big ‘Tommy’ fans.” Fans of all ages are advised to call ahead for reservations, since shows by the Uncommoners have tended to sell out in recent years. The box offi ce number is 716-338-1187.

SANTA CLAUS LANE PARADE: NOVEMBER 26 ~ OLEAN, NY 6:30PM

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

Good luck!
