Town BoardAnnual Showcase in Olean Takes Place this Weekend

By John ThomaS

Each year around this time comes an opportunity to get a head start on your Christmas shopping as well as purchase unusual, beautiful, and handcrafted works of art. East Otto Country is sponsoring an open house featuring pottery produced at Hog Shed Studio, original watercolor paintings created by Robin Zefers Clark of Brookside

Studio and woodcarvings by Dug Stein of Woodsworks Carvings. They have published a brochure and map to help you find the various members’ studios. This year the open house is November 5th and 6th from 10am to 5pm. Elliot Hutten of Hog Shed Pottery draws inspiration for her pottery from her interest in Egyptian and African art. Asked about what will be new in her studio this year, she rattles off a long list

of items. New vases and candlesticks are the first thing she mentions, and “we have a new litter of piggy banks every year.” Each year she creates new, dated Christmas tree ornaments. She will also have new holiday pin designs she adds, “we’re bringing them back by popular demand.” The pottery Elliot produces is, as she describes, “mostly functional things.” “I’ve been glazing, glazing, glazing”,

she says about her preparations for the open house. She expects to do two or three firings before the weekend; her showroom should be full. Hog Shed Studio Pottery is located on Cattaraugus County Route 13 about 3 miles west of Maples. Phone: 716-257-9549. Hog Shed Studio Pottery can be found on Google maps.

The roots from which the United States of America has grown share several mixed traditions and beliefs from around the world. It is what makes us the United States, or perhaps rather, what the United States has made itself. We’re a melting pot, and we have built a reputation as such; reaching farther back than the Industrial and American Revolution. However, it is important to reflect on the very seeds that we grew from. All too often forgotten are the traditions and beliefs of the people that inhabited this land before so many of our ancestors came to this country…or even declared it as such. The Native Americans were the first The Seneca Nation of Indians

Cattaraugus Reservation offers several different avenues for reflection on a daily basis.

By JoHn tHomasstaff writer

Village mayor Charles Coolidge opened the Monday night Village Board meeting with the news that the village and the state had completed an audit of the village’s books. The final report from the state is pending, but the mayor indicated that the process had gone smoothly. At this point he opened the meeting to business from

the floor. Bill and Kody Sprague, and Bill Gugino rose to address the board. They presented a preliminary plan to revitalize the old “Louisville Slugger” baseball bat factory building that lies off Fillmore. When the comprehensive plan had been adopted in 2004 the area of the long closed factory had been designated for medium density residential housing. The gentlemen were at the meeting to start the process for spot zoning the area back to a

commercial zone as it had been many years ago. The group’s initial plan calls for remodeling the factory to a commercial showroom/warehouse complex in the center and developing the perimeter of the property as medium density housing. They made it clear that their plans would have no adverse affect on businesses in the

Public Hearing on Wind FarmsOctober 18 People Spoke Out about Proposed Allegany Project; IDA Votes in December

By nicholaS Pircio95.7 fm, WPig

About fifty people attended a public hearing held on October 18th in Allegany by the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency. Nine people addressed the agency, all of who spoke against the proposed wind farm project. The agency will now review comments before voting on whether

to approve financial incentives for the wind farm. The vote will probably come in December. Written comments directed to the I.D.A. will continue to be accepted until Tuesday, October 25th. The wind farm has already been approved by two Town of Allegany governing boards, but is being challenged in court by Concerned Citizens of Cattaraugus County. IDA Executive Director Corey

Wiktor explains what happens next: “Our next board meeting (following the October 25th meeting) is in early December. So it (a vote on extending financial benefits to Everpower) would be contemplated by the board at that time.” Regarding proposed exemptions, Wiktor noted, “The only

The Town Board meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm Wednesday, October 19, 2011. First on the agenda was an executive meeting to begin negotiations with Teamsters Union Local 264, an affiliate of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. The current contract is near expiring, so the first steps were taken towards moving to terms on a new contract. Since the meeting was an executive one, the terms and progress made or not made were private. The next order of business was the Audit of Claims, which consisted of a vote to pay town bills on voucher #09-11, the motion was quickly approved. Supervisor’s Reports were carried out as a motion was made and passed to accept the Supervisor’s Financial Report for September 2011. Supervisor Burrell addressed written department reports for approval, all reports were swiftly passed.

Dave Golley of the Highway Department commented on the current work being done by the town- work is being done on a drainage project on County Road. A new drain pipe was installed, backfilling has been done and an outlet is currently in the cleaning process. The majority of the work should be done by Friday the 21st of this month. An excavator and skid steer have been rented to perform the work that has been done and the work still to be done. Mr. Golley also noted that the Highway Department making preparations for the upcoming winter season’s weather; plows have been set up for village trucks and in coming week sand and salt will be prepped- Gernatt Asphalt Productions, Inc. have the bid for providing the sand. Following Dave Golly was Mark

Part of the magic of living in the Enchanted Mountains during the Fall season is enjoying the outdoors. For some, this means following age-old traditions set forth by relatives in the distant past. I speak, of course, of those who enjoy pursuing the wily whitetail deer, so named for the white underside of its signature tail. It’s estimated there are something like 25 million whitetail deer in North America right now. No wonder whitetails are the most sought after game on the continent. And no wonder the Southern Tier of New York State is one of the top destinations for hunting these extraordinary creatures. Bow season is now officially open, and the firearm season is just a month away. Although I myself am not a hunter, long ago I learned from a friend just how important the

sport is for conservation efforts. Hunters literally provide millions of dollars to the local and state economies, and the money paid for license fees help support a game management plan second to none. It may not be your particular cup of tea, but you have to admit – hunting is important. If only these folks can make it through another season safely and with no accidents. That’s of paramount importance, too. This can only be achieved through hunter education and the constant emphasis on following the rules and being safe. Communication is the key. So dear readers, consider making your own part of this community a little bit better for those who live and relax here. Let’s start talking! Until next week… JZ

Library Features ArtistE’ville Memorial Library Features Karen Fitzpatrick until Nov. 15th

Karen Fitzpatrick of Ellicottville, New York, is the featured artist at the Ellicottville Memorial Library from October to November 15. This exhibition features Karen’s newest creations of glass,

and include window pieces, hummingbird feeders, planters, and ornaments, among others. Says Ms. Fitzpatrick of her artwork: “My background does not include a formal education in art……rather, music. Several of my designs are an interpretation of a song or lyric. After cutting and assembling an actual patterned panel, a new composition often emerges from improvisation with the leftover glass. My favorite pieces are collages of glass incorporating natural stones or metals. In my recent pieces I have been using layers of glass and augmenting with copper mesh to portray greater detail.“

KNEES which we brewed in Fredonia a few years ago.The Bees Knees uses locally harvested raw honey, fresh ground ginger, and allspice.This event is my personal favorite brew of the year and it’s a great opportunity for Brewing enthusiast to learn about brewing techniques, historical aspects of brewing, and Craft brewing in general.

Volleyball is a game that embodies teamwork. The Ellicottville volleyball team has embraced working together, and in doing so have taken themselves to substantial levels of play. This weekend, the lady Eagles had the opportunity to play at the Lady Jacks Invitational. The team took sets from Falconer, Sweet Home, and host North Tonawanda until losing to Randolph in the quarterfinals. Standouts from the invitation included Janae Hamilton, who made all-tournament with 23 kills and 9 blocks. Madison Szpaicher (who in January of this year participated in the elite “Cobra Volleyball Club” team made of all-stars) finished the day with 56 assists and 6 kills, Courtney Scanlan compiled 22 kills with 14 blocks, and Kayla Dunkleman rounded off the team’s performance with 3 kills and 30 digs. Coach Kelly Decker commented on the team’s play- “The girls played very well today, we decided before the tournament that this was going to be a great day to work on a lot of things to beat great teams, and the girls did exactly that”. Speaking of the caliber of competition, Coach Decker said “Beating two A and double A schools

Lady Eagles InvitationalEllicottville’s Lady Volleyball Continues Outstanding Season

definitely brought out their A game”. “I’m having a great time this year with this group of girls, they are very focused, know what they want and best of extremely athletic group of girls” said coach Decker, who as a first year coach has brought the team to new levels of success. Mary Kneeland of Ellicotville said of Decker, “the players obviously respect her and react extremely well to her coaching- I think a lot of their success this season is due to their commitment to coach Decker and the repertoire that they have with each other”. Kneeland continues, “What that team has been able to do with a new coach, well it’s

just impressive. Decker is doing an outstanding job, and I can only see the team getting better and going farther as the team meshes even more”. The Lady Eagles are ranked 3rd in the New York State Division D league and ranked in the top 100 of the entire state of New York. They are 7 and 0 within their division and 9 and 0 with 3 draws overall. The team had high expectations despite a new coach; they have lived to those expectations and then some. With a bright future, stay tuned to see where their effort takes them the rest of the season and post-season. Their next game is Wednesday, October 19th at Maple Grove at 6:30pm.

Karen’s technical skill is evident, but her designs are completely original and show a playfulness and clever use of color and shape not often seen in traditional stained glass. As with most stained glass pieces, the color of the glass changes with the light behind it. What makes Karen’s artwork unique, is the innovative addition of multiple layers. The Ellicottville Memorial Library is located at 6499 Maples Road in Ellicottville, NY. Hours are 10 to 5 daily except Sunday. Evening hours are 5-8pm Tuesday and Wednesday. Contact: Barbara Fox 699-4145 or Laura Flanagan 699-2842 if you have any questions.

Fisher Leads the WayEllicottville Eagle’s First Winning Season Since 2006

Zak Fisher played his final regular season game in dominating fashion, scoring all four of Ellicottville’s touchdowns--the last two on runs of 65 and 45 yards. The senior tailback carried 17 times for a total of 245 yards and went over 1,100 yards on the season for the Eagles (4-3) , who recorded their first winning regular season since

2006. “He’s had a pretty good year,” Ellicottville coach Tim Bergan said of his three-year letter-winning at running back. “He’s the main leader of the team. He wanted to assure the fact that we had a winning season.” With Fisher leading the way, the Eagles racked up 285 yards on 31 carries. But it wouldn’t

have been possible without the strong play of their offensive line. “It’s a fact the kids played well together,” Bergan said. “I can’t say enough about the offensive line. We start three sophomores Cory Tomlin, Fletcher Macomb, Dylan Tarockiki and three juniors, Storm Wilson, Will Murphy, Peter Gabal on the line.”

Marranca Urges CongressICBA, Sal Marranca, urged Congress not to Expand Lending Powers

Little Valley, NY / Washington, DC - In his testimony before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, Sal Marranca, Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) chairman and president and CEO of Cattaraugus County Bank, Little Valley, N.Y., urged Congress not to expand credit union business lending powers unless it is also prepared to tax credit unions and require compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. He also said that repealing the credit union

tax exemption stands on its own merits as a deficit-reduction measure. “The current tax exemption that credit unions enjoy is directly linked to their original mission of serving individuals of modest means,” Marranca said. “However, after decades of ‘mission creep,’ which has resulted in multi-billion-dollar credit unions, that tax exemption can no longer be justified.” Marranca went on to say that ICBA opposes the Small Business Lending Enhancement Act, H.R. 1418, which would allow the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) to approve member business loans up to 27.5 percent of a credit union’s assets—more than double the current cap of 12.25 percent. “Credit unions have portrayed H.R. 1418 as an effort to make more credit available for small businesses,” Marranca said. “However, only a small number of credit unions are at or near the current member business lending cap—just over two percent of the approximately 7,300 credit unions, according to the NCUA.” While over 70 percent of credit unions report no member business loans at all, our nation’s more than 7,000 community banks continue to be prolific small business lenders. In fact, community banks fund nearly 60 percent of all small business

loans under $1 million. “Those credit unions that are at or near the cap are the largest and most complex credit unions, and the business loans they make are often multi-million-dollar deals—not small business loans,” Marranca said. “There is ample capacity for the remaining 98 percent of credit unions to expand their member business lending.” About ICBAThe Independent Community Bankers of America, the nation’s voice for community banks, represents nearly 5,000 community banks of all sizes and charter types throughout the United States and is dedicated exclusively to representing the interests of the community banking industry and the communities and customers we serve.

. The JCC Theater and Culture Club and Olean Toastmasters will be presenting a murder-mystery-comedy-musical this fall. Actors and other participants will be drawn from both JCC and the larger community. The play takes place at a high school reunion. The prom king and queen have been

murdered. The problem is all the witnesses have been scared speechless; each person who holds a clue to the crime has recently been told that they have to make a speech at either work, church, or for a special occasion. The comedy explodes as the speechless witnesses attempt to act out their version of the crime. It

will take an astute audience to figure this one out! Participants will create their characters based on this premise, with the help of director Anna Bush. The event will take place Thu, 10/27/2011 - 7:00pm - Fri, 10/28/2011 - 10:00pmFor more information, contact Anna at 716-376-7508 or email [email protected]

An Original Murder-Mystery-Comedy-Musical this Fall in Olean

SBU Opens LoopLoop of Allegheny Rover Valley Trail is Officially Open

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Oct. 18, 2011 — Community and university leaders integral to the project gathered Tuesday morning to dedicate the completion of the St. Bonaventure loop of the Allegheny River Valley Trail. Calling the trail addition a “wonderful milestone in our relationship with Allegany and Olean,” Brenda McGee, senior vice president for finance and administration at SBU, thanked Allegany and county officials and project consultants, and concluded with a “special thanks to Phil Winger, who expertly managed this complex project.” Winger is the associate vice president for facilities at the university. The roughly three-quarter-mile addition was completed earlier this month — six years after U.S. Senators Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton helped secure federal funding for the trail expansion and campus road improvements. Federal and state roadblocks slowed distribution of the money

until this year; project work finally began in April. University President Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., expressed her gratitude to Schumer and Clinton, who personally presented the symbolic check to Sr. Margaret when Clinton, now Secretary of State, was visiting Jamestown Community College. The $2.5 million project included: a warming hut featuring restroom facilities for students and recreation trail users (expected to be completed by December)., the straightening of Clare Road, which runs through the woods between Francis Hall on the east side of campus to the five-way intersection just east of Doyle Hall. Reworking of the parking lot and five-way intersection near Doyle Hall, A new access road near the center of campus at the Reilly Center, Repaving and road restoration at various locations around campus. Are all aspects that need to be improved Also on hand was Joe Higgins, “the father of the rec trail,” Sr. Margaret said.

She presented him one of the university’s 150th Anniversary Medals for his contribution to the community. Completed in 1999, the recreation trail was the brainchild of Higgins, who spoke briefly and thanked the owners of the land through which the trail runs. “The trail isn’t owned by anyone,” Higgins said. “It succeeds because of an intermunicipal agreement with Olean, Allegany and St. Bonaventure.” About 2.5 miles of the trail — including the new addition, which runs parallel to West State Road and then south next to Francis Road and behind Francis Hall, connecting to the existing trail near the river — is now on St. Bonaventure property. With the addition, the entire trail is roughly 6.3 miles long. “It’s really exciting to see people using the completed loop,” Sr. Margaret said. Fr. Francis Di Spigno, O.F.M, executive director of University Ministries, blessed the trail with holy water before officials cut the ribbon to open the trail.

Host Families NeededInternational High School Students are Arriving Soon

Foreign high school students are scheduled to arrive soon for academic semester homestay programs, and the sponsoring organization needs a few more local host families. The students are anxiously awaiting news of their new families. These young ambassadors are looking forward to fulfilling their life-long dreams. According to Pacific Intercultural Exchange (P.I.E.) President, John Doty, the students are all between the ages of 15 and 18 years, are English-speaking, have their own spending money, carry accident and health insurance, and want to share their cultural experiences with their new American families. P.I.E. currently has programs to match almost every family’s needs, ranging in length from one semester to a full academic year, where the students attend local public and private high schools. “At this critical time in our country’s history, hosting an international teen is the best and

purest form of public diplomacy the United States has,” said Doty. P.I.E. area representatives match students with host families by finding common interests and lifestyles through an in-home meeting. Prospective host families are able to review student applications and select the perfect match. As there are no “typical” host families, P.I.E. can fit a student into just about any situation, whether it is a single parent, a childless couple, a retired couple or a large family. Families who host for P.I.E. are also eligible to claim a monthly charitable contribution deduction on their itemized tax returns for each month they host a sponsored student. For the upcoming programs, P.I.E. has students from Germany, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Croatia, Korea, Mexico, Slovakia, China, Thailand and many other countries. P.I.E. is a non-profit educational organization that has sponsored more than 25,000 students from

45 countries since its founding in 1975. The organization is designated by the United States Department of State and is listed by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET), certifying that the organization complies with the standards set forth in CSIET’s Standards for International Educational Travel Programs. Doty encourages families to contact the program immediately, as it will allow the proper time for the students and hosts to get to know one another before they actually meet for the first time.Families interested in learning more about student exchange or arranging for a meeting with a community representative may call P.I.E., toll-free, at 1-866-546-1402. The agency also has travel/study program opportunities available for American high school students as well as possibilities for community volunteers to assist and work with area host families, students and schools.

“Flaming Idiots” in OleanOlean Theatre Workshop presents “Flaming Idiots” on Thurs, Fri & Sat

Carl and Phil decide that the ladder to success at the post office is missing a few rungs. They know that big money is waiting for people with entrepreneurial spirit and sound business judgement. They have lots of the spirit but little of the judgement and their new gourmet health food restaurant flounders. Zippy’s, a popular cross town spot, has been crowded ever since Cy Manamalancia, a notorious mobster, was shot there and that was over twenty

years ago. What if someone could get murdered in their restaurant? Flaming Idiots is a contemporary farce which takes place entirely in the restaurant kitchen and requires five doors for slamming.All shows are Thursday, Friday, Saturday at 7:30 PM and Sunday at 2:30 PM at the Washington Street Theatre. Individual shows can be purchased at $7 per ticket. For more information on this event please visit http://oleanworkshop.org/

Reed to Hold MeetingsTown Hall Meetings in Wayland, Randolph, and Hume Saturday

Congressman Tom Reed will hold three town hall meetings this Saturday, October 22, in Wayland, Randolph and Hume. “The best dialogue happens in person,” Reed explained. “I hope that residents of the 29th District will come to the meetings to share thoughts and priorities as we deal with the unemployment and financial challenges we face.” The meetings provide an opportunity for residents to express opinions and speak directly with the Congressman. As of Saturday, Reed will have held 30 official town hall meetings thus far this year. He has also conducted dozens of other public meetings and teletown halls and is scheduled to hold 15 town hall meetings within the next 60 days. Those unable to attend the town halls can contact Reed through his website (www.Reed.house.gov) or on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/RepTomReed. Town hall meetings will be held on Saturday as follows: 9:00-10:00AM, Wayland Town Court, 17 N. Main St., Wayland, 12:30-1:30PM, Randolph Town Hall, 72 Main St., Randolph3:30-4:30PM, Town of Hume Museum, 10842 Claybed Rd., Hume

Routes to ArtCattaraugus County Arts Council Prepares for 2012.

Routes to Art (RTA) is the first comprehensive regional marketing and promotion program for area artists. We’ve designed RTA as a cultural tourism program to heighten awareness of the quality of art being created throughout the Cattaraugus region while increasing tourism visits to the area. Ultimately, RTA can mean more income for you by creating more opportunities for the sale of your art. In addition, RTA has become a very important economic development tool using the arts community as a catalyst for positive change in the Cattaraugus region--in short, we’re improving the quality of life in our region. In the fifth year of RTA we once again welcome artists and artisans from the Seneca Nation of Indians as well as our regional fine artists from Cattaraugus, western New York, and Northern Pennsylvania with all artists displaying their work within Cattaraugus County, the Seneca Nation, or the immediate areas around Springville or Gowanda. We’ve kept the annual fee the same,

at $175. And we’ll continue using mini-hubs (no more than 2-3 artists) BUT we’re going to make every effort to focus on private homes (instead of the less attractive venues we’ve had to use in the past.) We’re also hoping more artists can invite another artist to show in their home or studio, making their location even more likely to receive more visitors. Remember, density = visits. The highly successful Holiday Sale will now be two days, on December 3-4 at the Seneca Nation Administration building, a stunning space that will easily hold our 2012 artists and is an attraction in itself. This show is included in your 2012 annual fee but you MUST get your application in by November 18, 2011. Participation is optional but highly recommended. The RTA exhibition is back at the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure University! Our friends at the Quick Center are once again welcoming the RTA exhibition in their prestigious, beautiful gallery space.

Returning artists will not be required to complete the full application! However, we will have a shorter application/contract for you to specify any changed information and you will be required to submit three new photos of work. A planning committee! Through our newly formed planning committee, the 2011 RTA was more artist-friendly than ever. This year recruiting, jurying, marketing, and all the other essentials of RTA will be done hand-in-hand with participating planning committee artists. Interested in being on the committee? Email anne@myartscouncil .net . An artist-only jury. This year the artists are focused even more on quality of the overall tour and will be jurying the 2012 RTA with that in mind. Prepare your application and images for critical eyes! No Friday night preview hours in 2012. It seemed like a good idea in 2011, but the extra effort didn’t pay off in an increased number of visitors, so the planning committee is taking it back out of the program.

Two Take Top HonorsGraham and Moran of Olean Won First Place in NFL Competition

On Sunday the Buffalo Bills hosted a NFL Punt Pass and Kick competition in which two Olean kids won first place. Elyse Graham, 9 of Olean (not pictured), placed first in the competition for the 8-9 year old girls division. Colin Moran, 13 of Hinsdale, (left) also placed first in the 12-13 year old boys division. On November 6th both players will compete in the state

championship at Ralph Wilson Stadium when the Bills take on the Jets. Both participants will be competing in the championship followed by lunch and back to the stadium to stand in the Bills tunnel when the players are introduced. This is an astonishing achievement for both of them. Allison Forness placed second in the 12-13 year old girls division.

It’s hard to decide which to praise first with this home. First would be the location, just steps from one of the runs and HoliMont. Next would be the beautiful decks and benches that ring the home. Moving inside the wood work throughout the house adds a touch of elegance, and the large windows just about everywhere bring the outdoors in. Just stepping into the living room is like walking into the lobby of a five star hotel. High over head the peaked roof is lined with tongue and grove oak paneling. From it hangs a

huge wrought iron chandelier that competes for attention with the wood burning fireplace and stone chimney that rises up to the roof. As if that wasn’t enough, the room is warped on two sides by floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors. Outside the trees swaying in the breeze seem to make up a moving wall paper. The hardwood floor gives way to tile for the large dining room with its own fireplace. Six bedroom means there’s lots of room for kids and guests. Upstairs has a bunk room big enough to accommodate the whole ski team. Just across the hall is the master suite. Downstairs are three bedrooms two of which have walk out

access to the patio. They are just off the large family room with separate pool room. There is one bedroom on the main floor bringing the total number of bedrooms to six. The ground floor has a walk out mud/gear room for the short walk to the slopes, and once the ski day is through; on the patio is a hot tub for soothing tired muscles. The walk to HoliMont is less than a block, and downtown Ellicottville just over a mile, making this house ideally located for ski and year round vacation fun. And, yes it really is located on Easy Street. To make this home yours contact Team Pritchard at ERA Vacation Properties, 716-699-4800

Pictured from top, clockwise: Exterior: The ceder siding, stone work and large wrap around decks give this modern home a chalet like quality.

Kitchen: Gorgeous cherry paneling covers the kitchen cabinets and sub zero refrigerator. The granite counters wrap around to make a breakfast bar.

Inside Business TrackHaunted Tours at the Dudley Hotel Fridays & Saturdays this Month

By eriC HunDuniV. of pitt. at BraDforD

Halloween is fast approaching, and with it comes thoughts of ghouls and ghosts and the buildings they haunt. With that in mind, a tour of the historic Dudley Hotel is in order. Every Friday and Saturday in October, the Dudley Hotel hosts a Haunted Hotel Tour that features both the scares and screams of a Halloween haunted house attraction and the potential to observe paranormal activity in a supposedly haunted building. The Haunted Hotel Tour runs from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and costs $12 for adults and $10 for students with valid ID cards. Hotel owner Laura Dorfman said the guided tour that starts from the hotel’s lobby and proceeds up the staircase to the first floor, where the usual Halloween haunted house monsters will greet guests, including the likes of Hollywood creations Chucky and Freddy Krueger. The tour will continue along the first floors main hallway then down two flights of stairs to the hotel’s 143-year-old basement where actual ghost sightings and activity have been reported. Dorfman said that the hotel’s basement is “naturally creepy on its own,” with exposed brick walls, low ceilings and many small crawlspaces throughout.

She added that much of the reported activity revolves around the laundry room located in the basement, and is often reported by the housekeepers, since they spend a large amount of their work time there.Melissa Liberatore is the tour guide for the event and is one of the reasons the Haunted Hotel Tour is so popular. Liberatore makes such a great tour guide because she herself has experienced some of the strange activity in the hotel. Since so much activity is reported in the laundry room, one part of the tour involves leaving the tour group locked in the room with the lights off for a few minutes, in the hope that they will witness a paranormal event. A typical show lasts about 15 to 20 minutes, and many of the guests say the show is one of the scariest haunted house style tours they have seen. Dorfman does not view the activity reported at the Dudley to be a frightening, with none of the dark scary feeling she associates with most peoples’ idea of a haunting, but more like little playful tricks and pranks. She said many of the housekeepers report items being moved, doors opening or closing by themselves and glasses hovering in the air before falling off shelves. She added that one event involved a large ornate punch bowl falling four feet off

a counter and landing upside down without breaking with no one around it. Another case of ghost sighting involved a painter who was doing work for Dorfman claiming to see the ghost of a man in the basement. She said the description of the man resembled that of a former hotel maintenance man who had died. Another sighting involved two members of the hotel staff witnessing a man walking past them in the lobby and out through a closed door. A review of the hotel’s security camera did not reveal anything unusual. Even those playing characters in the tour have had encounters. Dorfman said one of the girls playing a character during last year’s tour claimed to feel the presence of someone, and someone breathing on her neck, in the small room she would hide in while waiting for the tour group to reach her. The room she was in was very small, and that the only way in or out was through a small door, so there was no way anyone else could have snuck into the room with her. Another case was that of a housekeeper who ran screaming from the basement and was obviously very upset. The woman handed Dorfman her keys, and said that while she enjoyed working at the hotel, she was leaving and never

coming back, and she could not say what happened to her. Some have claimed that the ghosts seen in the hotel is that of Charles Dudley. Charles H. Dudley built the hotel, then known as the Dudley House, in 1868 to take advantage of the newly chartered city of Salamanca’s location as the terminus for the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad Company. The original three-story hotel, which had all wood construction, burnt down in September 1880 along with 28 other buildings. The rebuilt Dudley House, this time composed of brick,

remained in the Dudley family until 1901 when it was sold to the prominent Torge family of Salamanca. A second fire in 1913 destroyed the hotel’s interior, and the building once again needed to be restored. The Torge family sold the hotel to George Kissak Enterprises in 1960, and the hotel was renamed the Dudley Motor Hotel. Lance Shaner bought the hotel in 1979, and ten years later, he sold the hotel to Don Krantz and Robert Hoag. In 2001, Don and Sandy Hill of Western Door Enterprises bought the hotel and began

renovations to the lobby, restaurant, banquet center and lounge. They eventually sold the hotel to their vice president of marketing and current hotel owner, Laura Dorfman. A number of celebrities and politicians have visited the Dudley Hotel over the years, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Tanya Tucker, Louise Mandrel and Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Dudley Hotel is located at 132 Main Street, Salamanca. For more information on the event, or to make reservations to stay at the hotel contact (716)-945-2002.

Hotel owner Laura Dorfman said the guided tour that starts from the hotel’s lobby and proceeds up the staircase to the first floor, where the usual Halloween haunted house monsters will greet guests, including the likes of Hollywood creations Chucky and Freddy Krueger.

Up Close & PersonalLittle Valley Fall Sportsman’s Show November 5 & 6 at Fairgrounds

meagHan o’rourKest. BonaVenture uniVersity

As November quickly approaches, it’s time again for Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department’s annual fall sportsmen’s show. Nov. 5 and 6 mark the show’s 19th year. This year the show will run Saturday 9 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Admission is $5 per person and children 12 and under are admitted free with an adult. The Cattaraugus County Fair Grounds, 501 Erie St., Little Valley, N.Y. will be filled with showcases of the latest firearms, antiques and hunting and fishing equipment as the Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department holds one of its biggest annual fundraisers. In 1992, Jim Miller, show chairman, suggested the show as a fundraiser for the department, said Bob Hilliman, co-chairman. Nineteen years ago, it had just 13 vendors and 23 tables on display with a turnout of about 500 people. This year, it has grown to fill both of the main buildings on the fairgrounds, according to Hilliman. An average of 1,900 to 2,000 attendees are expected each day to come and check out the 150 tables of displays and merchandise, which includes sporting goods, firearms,

fishing equipment, game calls and accessories. It is “the place to be for fishermen, hunters, collectors and trappers.” The show is also an opportunity to prepare for the big game season, as well as restock for the seasons already underway. “It’s a fundraiser and a community event,” said Hilliman. “It’s something everyone can come to.” Hilliman said there will be really good, armed security and that the Cattaraugus County Pistol Permit Clerk will be available at the event on both Saturday and Sunday. A national instant

criminal background check will be completed prior to sales of all firearms. There will also be plenty of free parking. The local auxiliary will offer luncheon food both days, said Hilliman. For more information about the show contact Jim Miller or Bob Hilliman at (716) 938-6928 and (716) 938-9015, respectively. The show and important fundraiser is held twice a year, the first weekends in April and November. The fire department also fundraises at its food stand, which is set up for the races and fair.

That’s DebateableTruth or Consequences

Editorial

Doug Arrowsmith

Well, it’s been about ten minutes since the last GOP presidential debate and, here we are again, gearing up for yet another fruitless gathering of finger pointing, back stabbing accusatory fun. I love these debates. Can’t get enough of them. Tonight’s debate (being held at a resort hotel in Vegas of course) will be the eighth such ritual front runner sacrifice we’ve seen so far and there’s still more than a year left until the general election. This evenings sacrificial lamb is none other then the Godfather himself, Herman Cain. This should be fun. So where did Herman Cain come from? How has the Chairman and founder of the nations eighth largest pizza chain become the current GOP front runner? Herman Cain is the product of a desperate and confused Republican electorate. By the time you read this the current field of candidates will be gearing up for the ninth debate and Cain will have already become an afterthought. Remember when Michelle Bachman was leading the field? How about Rick

Perry? Romney always seems to be floating somewhere near the front of the field. The point being that once a candidate becomes interesting he or she is forced to open their mouths and defend their positions. Remember Perry’s incoherent mumbling a few weeks back when he was the Big Cheese in the race? Tonight, after Cain defends his positions by comparing the nations economic woes to a large pepperoni, mushroom pie and sings a couple Gospel songs the throngs in attendance will cheer loudly and go home feeling a bit sick. You know, like they just ate a Pizza that wasn’t quite right. Speaking of being forced to defend ones positions. It’s not always what the candidates themselves say that gets them into trouble. Sometimes it’s the good folks who cheer the loudest that cause problems. Here’s a few of my favorite highlights from some recent Republican debates. Perry being cheered because his state has executed more death row inmates then any other. Perry being booed because he supports educational rights for American born children of illegal immigrants. Here’s a good one. During the Tea Party sponsored debate Ron Paul was being asked a health care related question involving a hypothetical comatose accident victim who’s insurance company had dropped his coverage. Moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Paul if the Government should just let the person die. Before Paul had the chance to answer the crowd went wild with a resounding “YEAH!” The irony being that Ron Paul’s former campaign manager, Kent Snyder, died of pneumonia in 2008 after being dropped by

his insurance company because of a preexisting condition. His family was stuck with a $400,000 bill. “Yeah!” Then, of course, there was the gay Marine being booed by the crowd during another debate. The Marine had submitted his question via Youtube. I wonder if anyone in the crowd would have had the stones to boo the Marine in person? Doubt it. My point being that Herman Cain is toast. The poor guy and his nonsensical 999 plan doesn’t stand a chance. He’s in the crosshairs now. Tonight he’s going to be asked a question about something outside his comfort zone (pizza) and he’ll blow it and that will be the highlight on all the morning news programs. So who’s next? Romney again? His Mormon faith makes these people so uncomfortable that you can almost see the Rapture in their eyes. Perry? Maybe as long as he doesn’t have to talk. Santorum? Who? Gingrich? Only if he can invent a time machine and make it 1993 again. Michelle Bachman again? There’s only so many times she can bring up Gay Marriage without sounding like a lunatic. Oh wait. She is a lunatic. Ron Paul? Paul is so idealistically pure and unbending that he makes both sides of the aisle uncomfortable. He’ll never get the moderate vote and he’ll never get the evangelical vote and there’s no such thing as a Liberal Libertarian. I’d say John Huntsman but he’s boycotting this debate because of the brewing battle between New Hampshire and Nevada over Primary dates. Probably a good move. Being the front runner amongst this rabble almost guarantees political irrelevance.

Robin can be reached at Brookside Studio Watercolors, 716-257-9790. A reverence for wood is the underlying philosophy for Dug Stein’s work at Woodswork Carvings. Dug loves to reuse old materials salvaged from old, barns, school houses, and other buildings; even going so far as to recycle entire buildings. He often finds wood from buildings dating back to the 1800’s. He’s mostly known for his hand carved Santas. This year he is promising new Santas in various sizes. But instead of portraying a jolly St. Nick, his Santas sometimes carry the expression of a man who caught his elves goofing

off. “Grumpy Santa,” is how he explains his humorous take on the classic character. Inside his shop you’ll find a myriad of handcrafted wood objects: figures, sculptures, reliefs, furniture and tureen ware (wooden kitchen utensils). Among the Santas and birdhouses are carvings of birds in flight; sometimes with recycled wire for feet. His studio is sure to have some new, whimsical sculptures, as he tells me over the phone, “I’m working on some new carvings as we speak.” Dug will be on had at his studio to answer any questions about his work. He likes people to drop by, as he says “just cuz.” Woodsworks is at 8253 Safford Road and can be reached by calling 716-257-9642. For directions and a map to all three studios go to eastotto.com

true civilization to call this land home. They were the first people to inhabit and live off this land while recognizing and appreciating it for it’s true and natural beauty. This coming November, we as a nation will celebrate National American Indian Heritage Month, and will reflect on all of the history and traditions of a great people. In 1990 President George H. W. Bush approved a joint resolution designating November 1990 “National American Indian Heritage Month.” Similar proclamations, under variants on the name (including “Native American Heritage Month” and “National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month”) have been issued each year since 1994. This was the first time in our nation’s history that a specific time period was dedicated to honoring the Native Americans. The first-honored, “American Indian Day,” was declared to

be the second Saturday in May by the governor of New York State. Several states celebrate the fourth Friday in September, and in Illinois, for example, legislators enacted such a day in 1919. Presently, several states have designated Columbus Day as Native American Day, but it continues to be a day we observe without any recognition as a national legal holiday. So, the question is how will you honor Native American history this November? The Seneca Nation of Indians Cattaraugus Reservation offers several different avenues for reflection on a daily basis. The Seneca Iroquois National Museum, located in Salamanca, NY is currently offering a new exhibit showcasing the works of the Native Roots Artists Guild. The exhibit features artwork by 22 members of the guild including paintings by Carson Waterman of Salamanca. Waterman is best known for his works seen throughout the Seneca Allegany Casino as well as his mural spanning the entire side portion of a building located on Main Street in Salamanca.

The Genesee River Valley extending west to the borders of Ohio and Pennsylvania offer some of the most beautiful natural views of the lands upon which Native American traditions began. The Seneca Nation has occupied this region with a rich and proud history extending back over 500 years. Known as “The “Keepers of the Western Door” as they are the westernmost of the Six Nations in New York State, the Seneca’s offer a wealth of knowledge and respect for their land and ancestors. The sovereignty of the people is truly a unique and valuable way of life to experience. In the upcoming month, be sure to find your own way to honor our deepest roots as Americans. The Seneca culture and values remain strong and intact and have been protected for hundreds of years before this land even became the United States. The culture, dance, music, arts, traditions and beliefs of the Native American people deserve to be held with respect and kept sacred. This November, do your part to ensure their history is honored.

A second entrance to the factory area would be created along Fillmore to accommodate truck traffic for the complex. This would help alleviate traffic impact along the present Elizabeth Street entrance. “The building is sound” stated Kody Sprauge when asked how much renovation would be needed. He went on to say that primarily they would remodel the exterior to make the building more attractive. When asked what businesses would be moving into the building, the men deferred, stating they didn’t want to “throw out any names” of companies they had talked to. But they did indicate that they had spoken to kitchen remodeling, plumbing, electrical, and hardware companies who would be interested in a non-retail showroom/warehouse operation intended mainly for contractors. The two concerns expressed by the board were that the area is generally considered a flood plane and traffic problems created along Fillmore because part of it is very narrow. The men indicated that they were aware of the flooding problem, and said they had plans to overcome it. There was discussion about the narrowness of Fillmore where it intersects Route 219, and that heavy truck traffic could create a bottleneck in the area. They responded that most of the traffic in and out of the showroom would be contractors’ pick-up trucks and would not cause problems. Mr. Gugino pointed out several of the advantages in allowing the plan to move forward. The plan would create a number of full time, year round jobs for the village, and would increase the tax base. After a bit of further discussion no obvious problems came up and the mayor pronounced the plan as “looking good.” After the men

had left the meeting a motion was made to refer the plan to the Village Planning Board for an opinion. The motion passed. If the planning board recommends the zoning change there will be a public hearing to take comments from citizens, and the board could vote to change the zoning. Howard Gifford submitted his Constable report primarily focused on Fall Festival weekend. He said the weekend had gone well. There was discussion that on the Friday night of Fall Fest a man being chased by police had driven his car into a house on Mill. The area around the rail road underpass has been a problem for some time, and there was talk about what to do in the area. Flashing warning lights were mentioned as was a guard rail, or moving the train tracks. The village engineer said moving the tracks “won’t happen in our life span.” No action was taken. At some point during the weekend an elevator got stuck between floors at the Wingate. The fire department released the trapped occupants. Also at the Wingate an intoxicated man caused a disturbance in a hallway. It seemed he was on the wrong floor, and was a bit loud about it. He was escorted back to his room. There was a fight in Marshall Alley which the town police and the Highway Patrol broke up without making any arrests. Other than a few open container, public urination violations, and 13 parking tickets, the weekend “went real well” according to the constable. The constable reported he has successfully completed a Glock pistol 3 year certification. The mayor reported that the costs for police presence during Fall Festival had come in. The total costs for the town were $7,093.64 and the village was $1,380.70. The total for both is $8,474.34. The costs are being split three ways between the town, village and the Chamber of Commerce. The Village has already paid the constable and Wayne Dunkleman the $1,380.70. The village will pay the town $1,444.08 for its share of the costs. Halloween will be officially celebrated on Monday the 31st

from 6pm to 8pm. This is the appropriate time for trick-or-treaters, although the bars in town may have different ideas. In the Zoning report the village engineer reported that revisions to the zoning laws are pending, and should be ready for the next meeting. For the engineers report he stated that they are still working on the tap water agreement with the town. The mayor suggested that now that the master water meters are working they should track the water usage from June 1 to May 31 (the village’s fiscal year) and determine just how much water the town draws. He stated that the town is estimating using 7 million gallons per year, but the mayor felt that “when everything gets going in Winter we will be pushing more water to the town,” and that their estimate might be low. The contract for the sewer repair along Rockwell has been awarded for the amount of $43,800. This would be for the work along the main lines only. The engineer said that they would do the repair along the main line and wait to see what issues arise with the lateral lines. The DEC has given the village until the end of November to come up with a plan to deal with the minor violations of the excess solid particulates in the sewer. The engineer said they are looking at cost effective solutions There was discussion about a homeowner whose driveway was built over part of the village’s easement next to the road. Apparently the previous owner who had built the house had somehow managed to build across the easement without permission from the code enforcement officer at the time. There was talk about having the town attorney send the present owner a letter informing him of the violation. The last item for discussion was the hot dog cart being operated at night by Balloons. There was still some concern about possible code violations. The mayor said, “if they force people to walk out in the street, and someone gets hurt, we would get sued”; “being on the sidewalk it is a safety issue.” The meeting was adjourned.

thing that we’re contemplating now per our uniform policy, would be the fifteen year uniform tax exemption policy where it relates to wind. (Also being considered are) any related sales tax and a mortgage recording tax abatement. Anything above and beyond that has not been agreed upon by the I.D.A.” The agency board will be voting on the fifteen-year PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreement, and any related sales tax assistance to Everpower which would include equipment and construction materials. Wiktor said that the minutes of the October 18th public hearing will be transcribed and forwarded to the I.D.A. board. “Being on the December agenda (the vote) would give the board members additional time to

review the comments.” Some of the comments made at the public hearing concerned potential competition to the Indeck Energy Services electricity cogeneration plant in Olean. A few Indeck employees called competition from the Everpower wind project unfair, which could cause National Grid to rely less on them as a source of alternative power. This, they said, could result in the closing of the Indeck facility. The sentiment was echoed by Gary Abraham of Concerned Citizens of Cattaraugus County, who stated that Indeck receives no private subsidies. Abraham said, “Workers at Indeck will be thrown under the bus.” Wind farm opponent Cathy Boser urged the I.D.A. to reconsider granting incentives to Everpower, adding that she too supports the Indeck position, and urges the Agency not to “overlook the visual impacts (of the wind turbines).” Olean resident Hal Jacoby stated that,

“Tourism might slip,” if twenty-nine windmills are constructed along the ridges in the Chipmonk area. Allegany Town Supervisor Pat Eaton also attended the public hearing. Eaton says he’s concerned about Article Ten, a provision whereby the State of New York could take control of local energy projects. Eaton said, “My question to the I.D.A. is what their role would be” if Article Ten were to be invoked by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Eaton, who voted this summer to approve the wind farm, said the state could impose less stringent requirements on Everpower if the Allegany Town Board had voted down the project. The project has been approved by both the Allegany Town Board and the Allegany Town Planning Board. Eaton contends state requirements would be much more lenient than those stipulated in Everpower’s agreement with the Town of Allegany.

Alianello of the Engineering Department, who began with a discussion of the current processes and need of replacing certain five-year old water meters. Mr. Alianello noted that service valves will not be replaced until 2012, with the focus for this year being the mainline valves. Along with the mainline valves, select chlorination pumps are also being updated. As far as overall progress, Mr. Alianello said “things are improving with

water, overall things are looking up”. Donald Auge, chief of Police, focused his comments on a discussion and recap of Ellicottville’s Octoberfest. Officer Auge said that the trademark event “went smooth”, the only real issues he wanted to discuss for 2012’s festival was bus and limousine parking who at this year’s event were blocking the state detour route. Officer Auge and members of the board were clearly concerned with the issues of cramped traffic-discussions on large vehicle traffic regulations will be discussed more in-depth at future meetings. Arrest numbers were down

from previous years, with the Chief commenting “Personally, I think it’s due to the police presence”. The few arrests that did come were the result of marijuana possession; the board complimented the chief on a job well done and another successful Octoberfest. The last order of business for the night came when the Town Board approved a resolution to override the tax levy limit established within the general municipal law 3-C. The resolution was passed and the tax levy limit overrode in order for the Town of Ellicottville to meet contractual obligations. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:00 pm.

Those of us who are lucky enough to live here full time know that our town is about much more than festivals, old cars, Elvis impersonators, and even skiing (though that a big part). It’s a unique place because of its charming downtown, scenic beauty, its people, and a host of other reasons too numerous to mention here. The Villager decided to take on the task of capturing some of the unique qualities that make our town special. We got a novel perspective by using the fresh eyes of amateur photographers. We chose September 20 as the day to record what was going on in the town and the village. Just an average day; after school started but before Fall Festival. A time when most of the tourists are gone, and the town is returned to its residents. We divided the town into different zones and assigned a photographer to each zone. They were to take as many photos during that 24-hour period as they wished. To make it fair we identified downtown as a separate zone and allowed all participants to shoot downtown in addition to their assigned location. The photographs here represent the best of the photos taken, and give us a special snap shot of a singular time and place. Vote for your favorite! Pick you favorite four photos and email us your choices. Email you choices to [email protected].
