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. I’d like to announce The Villager’s latest effort to improve communication on many local fronts and many issues. Please feel free to join me and other staff members at our offi ce the fi rst Tuesday of each new month, 10 am for the general public and 11 am for our local realtors. My aim is to provide a local forum to discuss whatever is on your mind. By sharing ideas and making your opinions known, we can improve this beautiful place we have all chosen to be a part of.

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 offi cially open, and the fi rearm season is just a month away. Although I myself am not a hunter, (unless we’re talking about bargains), 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
After two incredible seasons, the Ellicottville Eagles Peewee (top, right) and Midget (bottom, left) Little League Football Programs will be setting foot on the gridiron one last time for their chances at Super Bowl titles! The Peewee Eagles fi nished their regular season with a record of 5-1, granting them a bye in the fi rst round of the playoffs. They defeated the Seneca Sachems last weekend in the semi-fi nals, held in Franklinville, NY by a score of 37-25. The Peewees will face
the Franklinville Panthers this Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 1:30pm in Cattaraugus, NY. The Midget Eagles will look to fi nish their season undefeated as they have already posted a regular season record of 6-0. This record also granted their program a bye in the fi rst round of the playoffs and matched them up against the Cattaraugus Cowboys at home where they won by a score of 46-28. The Midget Eagles will face off with the Pine Valley Longhorns this Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 3:00pm
immediately following the Peewee game in Cattaraugus, NY. The Ellicottville Little Eagles Cheerleading programs have also celebrated successful seasons in both the Peewee and Midget levels. The Midget Eagles cheer squad recently took 4th place overall in a Cheer Competition held on October 2, 2010, and the Peewee Eagles squad fi nished in 2nd place overall! Congratulations to both football teams and cheerleading squads on incredible seasons and best of luck this Super Bowl Weekend!

Rimes has placed 42 singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, 13of which are top-10 hits, and has scored numerous hit singles in hercareer, including “Blue,” “One Way Ticket,” “I Need You,” “Nothin’ ‘BoutLove Makes Sense,” “Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way,” “Can’t Fight theMoonlight” - which went No. 1 in 11 countries - and “How Do I Live,” which is the second longest charting song ever on the Billboard Hot 100chart. Her soon-to-be-released new CD is titled “Lady and Gentlemen,” in which she reinterprets classic country songs by men. Opening-act Hayes is an eighteen year old who has been writing and recording since his fi rst studio project at age four in 1995. He now plays
more than 12 instruments and produces his own music. Tickets are now available by calling or visiting the BCPAC offi ce at 10 Marilyn Horne Way from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and online at bcpac.com.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Oct 13, 2010 — James W. Douglass, noted Catholic pacifi st and activist, will be speaking Friday, Oct. 22, on “JFK, Obama, and the Unspeakable” during a 7 p.m. presentation in Walsh Auditorium at St. Bonaventure University. The talk will examine what it means to be transformed as president of the United States, at the edge of total nuclear war, into a peacemaker. John F. Kennedy’s turn toward peace, which Douglass claims resulted in his assassination, provides a parable of the unspeakable for President Barack Obama and ourselves in the midst of our escalating war on terror. Can we discover hope for our enlightenment and resurrection as one human family through the dark truths of Dallas? Douglass’ most recent book, “JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters” (2008), Orbis Books: Maryknoll, N.Y., has been touted as one of the more thorough examinations of the many conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination
Exploring JFK AssassinationCatholic Pacifi st and Author Douglass To Speak At SBU Oct. 22
of JFK, but unlike many other works, it focuses on reasons why he was assassinated. Douglass began his adult life as a professor of religion at the University of Hawaii, but his pacifi sm led him on another journey shortly thereafter. His record of activism involves protests against Trident submarines, including protests against the notorious White Train; several trips to the Middle East, including one during the recent U.S.-led wars to witness alongside threatened civilians; and the establishment of a Catholic Worker house of hospitality for indigent homeless people in need of long-term health care, where Douglass and his wife, Shelley, have lived and worked for years. He has also written on the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., covering a trial that few Americans know about, in which a Memphis bar owner in 1999 was found liable for conspiring with federal agents to assassinate Martin Luther King Jr. The lawsuit was brought by the King family and James Earl Ray, who was never
actually tried for King’s murder. Douglass wrote of this trial:“I can hardly believe the factthat, apart from the courtroomparticipants, only MemphisTV reporter Wendell Stacyand I attended from beginningto end this historic three-and-one-half week trial. Becauseof journalistic neglect, scarcelyanyone else in this land of ourseven knows what went onin it. After critical testimonywas given in the trial’s secondweek before an almost emptygallery, Barbara Reis, U.S.correspondent for the Lisbondaily Publico who was thereseveral days, turned to meand said, ‘Everything in theU.S. is the trial of the century.O.J. Simpson’s trial was thetrial of the century. Clinton’strial was the trial of thecentury. But this is the trial ofthe century, and who’s here?” Among Douglass other booksare “The Nonviolent Cross:A Theology of Revolutionand Peace;” “Resistance andContemplation: The Way ofLiberation;” and “Dear Gandhi,Now What? Letters from GroundZero” (written long before 9/11).

club dedicated to sponsoring the Center’s creation, and the club continues to be a source of local support and funding for the Center. The Center operated for ten years under the umbrella of the Salamanca Hospital District Authority, and in July of 2000, the Center separated from the umbrella agency and became independent, incorporating with the State of New York as a private non-profi t (501 [c]) organization. The Center has expanded over the years and currently operates out of two offi ces. The main offi ce is located in Salamanca, and the satellite offi ce is located in Jamestown.

The Center’s current services include: parenting workshops in 6 communities, parent aide home visitation programming, supervised visitation programming, family group conferencing,
strengthening fathers services, public education events and more. Public education programming focuses on raising awareness about strengthening families and preventing child abuse. The Center also offers family events throughout the year in order to provide safe, appropriate, family-oriented activities for families within the communities that are serviced. In addition to celebrating 20 years of service, the Center will use the occasion to honor local individuals who have been supporters of the Center throughout the past year as it presents awards for outstanding volunteer, “guardian angel,” and an award for distinguished service and dedication to the Center. The cost for the dinner is $25 per person.

Randoph’s National AwardLocal Residents Receive DAR Award Presented by Senator Young
New York State Senator Cathy Young (R-Olean) was in Jamestown Saturday, Oct. 16 to help honor a local recipient of a national award from the Daughters of the American Revolution. Retired Randolph Resident Ralph Brown was presented with the organization’s National Community Service Award for his effort to help raise awareness about veterans and their families through The Real American Stars project. “I’m happy and honored to be
here today to present this award,” said Senator Young, who also read a proclamation from the State Senate. “Our servicemen, the wives, the mothers and the families truly are America’s real heroes.” The Senator’s thoughts were
echoed by Sharon Terwilliger, the regent of the Jamestown DAR Chapter who presented Brown with the award. In addition, she also presented him with two-volume record book, listing all the patriot soldiers who are buried in Chautauqua County. The Real American Stars project was started by Brown earlier this year in an effort to raise awareness for all the American mothers who’ve had a child that has gone on to serve our country. It’s based on the long-running Gold Star Mothers and Blue Star Mothers programs, which have been around since World War I. “I heard a story about a young
boy scout in the Buffalo area building a monument for Gold Star Mothers, and I thought it was a wonderful thing,” explained Brown. “I was laying in bed that night and I wondered why somebody hasn’t done this
for all the millions of mothers throughout the United States. So a lightbulb came on and I thought about making these metal stars that could be placed on the headstones of all the mothers who’ve had a child who’s served our nation.” Brown’s idea quickly mushroomed into not only honoring the mothers, but the veterans themselves. Later, he added Gold Star Wives and Blue Star Wives to the project. While the stars where initially created to go on headstones of deceased veterans and their mothers and wives, they can also go on the entranceway of homes, vehicles, and even mailboxes. Through The Real American Stars project, Brown hopes to not only remind all Americans of the cost of freedom, but also raise awareness for all the living veterans in need of assistance. “Our Veterans are in poor
shape, and not much is being done to help them,” Brown said. “They receive a little assistance, but nowhere near what they deserve.” Brown is hoping The Real American Stars project will eventually grow into a nationally known movement, with thousands of the stars being sold to families throughout the country. Proceeds from the sales would then go to living veterans and their families. “There are injured soldiers who come home every day and can hardly help send their children to college, and that’s not right. I want this program to help make sure those veterans get the help they are entitled to.” For more information on The Real American Stars project or to order a star to be featured on a headstone for the upcoming Veterans Day holiday, visit www.therealamericanstars.com.

HS Journalists RecognizedArea Students Visit SBU For Communications Day 2010
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — High school students from across Western New York and Northern Pennsylvania were honored Friday (Oct. 15, 2010) at St. Bonaventure University’s Communications Day, an annual celebration of high school journalism hosted by the Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Buffalo City Honors School received the Buffalo News’ Bertram Freed Memorial Award for overall excellence. More than 250 students from 16 high schools attended. Workshops in social media, radio, TV, newswriting and yearbooks fi lled the students’ morning before an afternoon keynote address given by MaryLynn Ryan, bureau chief of the Southeast region for CNN/U.S. Following her talk, Ryan was presented the Russell J. Jandoli Memorial Award of Excellence “for demonstrating courage in journalism and encouragement of youth.” The School of Journalism and
Mass Communication also took the occasion to add a member to its Wall of Distinguished Graduates – a series of plaques permanently displayed in the John J. Murphy Professional Building on campus. The wall pays tribute to journalism and mass communication graduates who have been recognized for outstanding contributions that refl ect admirably on the school and university. Carol A. Schumacher, vice president of investor relations at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., and a 1978 St. Bonaventure alumna, became the school’s 15th distinguished graduate to be honored with a plaque on the wall. Schumacher joined Wal-Mart in October 2004, serving as vice president of corporate affairs for a year before taking her current position. She manages and oversees the company’s global communications with the investment community, fi nancial media and Walmart associates. She is the company’s primary spokesperson to analysts and
investors around the world. Schumacher is a past president of the National Alumni Board for St. Bonaventure and completed a two-year term on the university’s Board of Trustees. She was named Alumna of the Year in 1998. She attended Friday’s ceremony with her husband, Bob Kelly, and their son Garrett. The following schools participated in Communications Day: Brocton Central High School, Buffalo City Honors School, Cassadaga Valley Central School, CorryArea High School, Dunkirk Senior High School, Eisenhower High School, Fredonia High School, Kane Area High School, Lake Shore Senior High School, North Collins High School, Orchard Park High School, Oswayo High School, Otto-Eldred High School, Our Lady of Mercy High School, Salamanca High School, and Southwestern High School.

I have driven past this home many a number of times but I’ve never really seen it until now. The only hint of its existence is the stately stone gate and driveway that leads up a short hill to it. The driveway twists and turns up the hill until you fi nally come to an open parking area in front of the garage. From this angle the house seems to be of a modest size; you can’t see how far above and out the house stretches. Its treasures await exploration. Sitting at the bottom of Poverty Hill Road, this home is big, burly and sprawling, and yet refi ned enough to satisfy the tastes of even the most sophisticated urban dwellers. Let’s start with the living room. It’s almost three stories tall. In the center sitting area is a rectangle of beautiful cherry fl ooring and around the perimeter of the room is an edging of stone tile. Casting my gaze up the rust colored walls next to the huge fi eld stone fi replace, my eye fi nds the six-foot tall antler chandelier that hangs in the center of the room. A Christmas tree, standing in the corner next to the fi replace, speaks to the home’s present seasonal use.
Opposite the fi replace is a built-in wet bar. The bar has a granite countertop, and walnut cabinets. Over the bar, a balcony on the second fl oor overlooks the living room. The balustrade, instead of coming to a right angle at the corner of the room, curves out over the living room below. Curved doorways lead to the master suite. Now consider the kitchen. The cherry wood fl oors, walnut cabinets and granite counter continue here. Double ovens, an electric range and oversized sink make a well laid out workspace. There is a huge single door Sub-zero refrigerator next to the ovens. Next to the sink is a drawer style dishwasher. With its warm toned counters, gorgeous cabinets and fl oor, it’s an effi cient and beautiful workspace. A granite work counter separates the kitchen from the dinning room. The dining table stretches along a wall with two sets of French doors that open onto one of the many balconies. The granite countertop from the kitchen extends down the back wall to form a sideboard for the dining room. The walnut woodwork and doorframes compliment the stone tile fl ooring, and create a rustic yet elegant dining area. On this same level is the master
bedroom, while it’s not on the same scale as the living room, it’s roomy and comfortable. Opposite the bed is a built-in set of cabinets and shelves, with a center area big enough for that monster TV you’ve had your eye on. But around the corner is a master bath worthy of a sultan’s palace (or at least Donald Trump). The golden tile fl oor matches the tones in the granite counters, tile walls and gold fi xtures. There is a huge shower with two benches, and in the center of the wall a marvelous white soaking tub, perfect for that late afternoon bubble bath. A separate closet for the commode and a couple of walk-in closets complete the space. On the main fl oor are two more bedrooms and another full bath. On the third fl oor are fi ve additional bedrooms, including one big enough to be another master suite. There are three more full baths on the third fl oor as well. Down on the fi rst fl oor is where the fun really begins. A full sized family room with wet bar occupies most of the downstairs. It features a huge fi replace, pool table and entertainment center. Just off the garage entrance is a large mudroom resplendent with cubbies, coat hooks and ski

storage. But I’ve saved the coolest feature for last: the house is surrounded by large decks, allowing plenty of outdoor living space. There is even a covered hot tub under a decorative gazebo. Just off the living room is a stone patio with an outdoor fi replace that would make a great spot to sip
some hot chocolate and roast some marshmallows after a day’s skiing. On the property is a storage shed for all sorts of motorized toys. Add to these: 10 acres of property for using those toys, hiking, biking and snowmobiling, a pond, and a view of the mountains, including HoliMont as well as Cindy’s at Holiday Valley to
see the torchlite parade on New Year’s. It makes for just about the perfect getaway spot for the harried city dweller: a hidden gem down in ski country.

Inside Business TrackTangled Twigs: Celebrating Each Season in Proper Fashion
CHRISTMAS STROLL: DECEMBER 4 ~ THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE OF ELLICOTTVILLE
BY MEAGHAN O’ROURKEST. BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY
Just a short stroll down Monroe Street, surrounded by beautiful homes and nestled between antique fi lled gardens, sits MJ Brown and Laurie O’Leary’s whimsical home and garden shop, Tangled Twigs. The brainstorm for the business began when Brown got married, it was Halloween and in the spirit of the holiday she wanted a bouquet with no fl owers. O’Leary helped her design the bouquet. The two arranged a bouquet of regular fl owers, but completed it by chopping off the fl owers’ heads. Friendship ensued for the pair: O’Leary taught Brown everything there is to know about fl oral design and 15 years ago they became partners in the trade. “It’s like the grasshopper and the master,” said Brown. “She is the master and I am the grasshopper.” They specialize in custom made fl oral designs, and offer quirky home accessories and ornamentations for you and your garden, at the seven-year-old shop. “We provide fi nishing touches for your home and you,” MJ Brown said. “We sell home décor items like lamps, throws, potpourris, candles and all kinds of little bunnies and squirrels (decorations).” They also sell pictures and humorous signs, Brown said. At Tangled Twigs they embrace Ellicottville’s four, beautiful, very distinct seasons. “We are a very seasonal store. Right now everything is fall and Halloween, and as soon as Halloween is over, we’ll swing into Christmas,” Brown said. They sell pashmina scarves, cute jackets and lots of jewelry. In the summer they sell fl ip-fl ops with fun designs that include soccer balls and martinis. “Everything is changed seasonally,” said Brown. “It’s totally different each season.” They know that even in
tough economic times, people still celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other occasions that might warrant gifts. That is why they added a line of cute, fun, affordable accessories about four years ago. “We have a lot of gifts that are less than $20 and a fair amount of gifts that are less than $10,” said Brown. At Tangled Twigs they create original decorations, in addition to searching for the best, most affordable products for their customers. In fact, originality is the specialty. “We specialize in custom work for people,” Brown said. They create permanent fl oral decorations including wreaths, arrangements, topiaries and garlands. Brown said the arrangements are permanent because they aren’t made with fresh plants, but dried or silk ones that will endure the seasons and even years. The seasons are a large reason why Brown enjoys living in Ellicottville. Of course, then, she enjoys customizing arrangements for each season. “It’s always nice to have a different wreath for each season, or at least winter and spring,” Brown said.
Tangled Twigs held its annual holiday open house at the beginning of the month (see photo page). Traditionally the open house is a big hit and this year proved nothing to the contrary, Brown said. “Every year, before we even owned the shop, when we used to just sell our goods at the Fall Festival, out of my home…we started a locals’ preview, so we opened my house with all the goods and had wine and hors d’oeuvres,” Brown said. “It’s a shopping frenzy and a girls’ night out.” Brown’s plan for Tangled Twigs is to keep it growing. She hopes to expand the business’ physical premises and presence on the Internet. She also plans to get a little more of the “ladies’ funky fashions,” while continuing to offer the seasonal and customized home décors. For more information about Tangled Twigs, stop by and visit the shop at its 1 Monroe St. location. It’s open six days a week (closed on Wednesdays) from 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m.– 6 p.m. on weekends. You can also visit www.tangled-twig.com or call 669-2736.
Tangled Twigs specializes in custom made fl oral designs, and offers quirky home accessories and ornamentations for you and your garden, at the seven-year-old shop. At Tangled Twigs they embrace Ellicottville’s four, beautiful, very distinct seasons. “We are a very seasonal store.Right now everything is fall and Halloween, and as soon asHalloween is over, we’ll swing into Christmas,” MJ Brown,co-owner of the business, said.
SAC Hosts Art Show In Celebration of National American Indian Heritage Month in Nov.
SALAMANCA, N.Y. – To celebrate National American Indian Heritage Month in November, the Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel will host an art show as part of its fourth annual “Experience the Culture” celebration. The show, which is free and open to the public, begins November 1 and runs until November 22 on property in the bus lobby. The art show features authentic Native-made artwork, traditional crafts, paintings, baskets and other handmade artifacts from more than a dozen members of the Seneca Artist Guild, a nonprofi t community organization dedicated to promoting and supporting Seneca and other Haudenosaunee artists. An opening reception for the show will take place on Friday, November 5 at 7 p.m.
and will feature performances by the Seven Generations Dance Troupe. Artists will be in attendance and light hors d’oeuvres will be served. Also slated for viewing in the hotel lobby from October 28 through November 22 during the Experience the Culture celebration is a Native American artifact and veteran display, featuring a collection from the late Joe Curry. Curry, a member of the Seneca Nation and war veteran who was a longtime friend and consultant to Seneca Gaming Corporation, passed away earlier this year. The Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel organized the Art Show in collaboration with the Seneca Nation Tourism Division and the Seneca-Iroquois National Museum. For information, please visit www.senecanation.com.

Up Close & PersonalBehind the Scenes of the Little Valley Sportsmen’s Show, Nov. 6 & 7BY MEGAN O’DONNELL
ST. BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY
Since 1991, the Little Valley Volunteer Fire Department has been holding the Sportsman Show as one of its biggest fundraisers. Twice a year, the department holds the event and showcases some of the latest fi rearms, hunting and fi shing equipment as well as some antiques.
Eighteen years ago, Jim Miller suggested the idea to the department as way to fundraise. The show started out with just 13 vendors and 23 tables on display, but now the show has grown to 45 vendors with 155 tables. Miller, the chairman for the
past 18 years, has been in the department for 25 years and believes that this show will be just as good as the others.
“It’s another good show like the rest of them,” Miller said. “I mean, all the shows have been good and this one is turning out to be the same with the vendors that I have. (People will) be seeing the same high quality that I’ve had at the other shows.” The fi rst year, the show only
had a turn out of about 400 to 500 people, but now the show is averaging between 1,500 and 2,000. It takes about 15 to 20 people to get the show planned and ready. The local auxiliary helps out by getting the food for the event as well as having a table at the show and a raffl e. The Little Valley Memorial Library does the parking at the event for free. The department then makes a donation to the library after the show. The Sportsman show will
display many different items for people to both look at and/ or purchase. “Mostly there
will be new and used fi rearms, fi shing tackle, knives, anything associated with hunting fi shing and trapping might be available depending on what the vendor has at that time,” Miller said. The show will have fi shermen, a fi shing rod display, a taxidermist and a man from Syracuse demonstrating goose and deer calls, just to name a few. The Sportsman show is not just a fundraiser, but also a community event. “It educates the people that don’t know much about the sportsman show,” Miller said. “People can come and see the latest and most modern fi rearms, archery and fi shing equipment. It’s something that people can bring their whole family to and enjoy … I’ve had charter captains take people out on the Lake Erie and Lake Ontario salmon fi shing. There are many things people can see and do at the sportsman shows.” Miller says in the future the show cannot grow in size because the buildings will
not be able to hold anymore vendors or tables – but, the show can grow in the amount of attendance. The show is perfect for those who still need to prepare for big game season or are ready to get more materials for those seasons already underway. “(The show is for those) interested in the outdoors or interested in the hunting or shooting aspect of sports,” Miller said. “It’s a great opportunity to compare prices rather than just going to a one gun shop … so if your interested in getting started in this it will be a good time to just come and look and see what’s available in prices and be able to compare prices from one vendor to another.” The show is held twice a year on the fi rst weekend in April and the fi rst weekend in November. The dates this year are November 6 and 7 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the two main buildings at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds. Admission is $5 per person.
The Little Valley Sportsmen’s Show began 18 years ago as the main fundraising event for the Volunteer Fire Department, pictured above circa 1897.

The dates this year are November 6 and 7 and is held in the two main buildings at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds.

For decades, professional athletes have engaged in coaching relationships to improve performance, develop skills, and excel at natural born abilities. Today all types of individuals and professionals are engaging with coaches to help them unlock their potential and begin achieving their personal best. When you have support and are confi dent, you will more quickly move along your health and wellness journey and achieve your goals. Health coaching and its ROI
(Return on Investment) has been all the hype recently. Health care is changing and we are being asked to take responsibility for our own health care needs. Why not, we are talking about your body, health, and wellness. Believe it or not, you can manage health care costs if you choose a preventative approach to staying healthy. We have been led to believe that managing our health after we become sick is the norm. We go to the doctor, take pills, and manage our illness or disease based upon a doctor’s prescribed intervention. We can be accountable by creating a prevention plan and taking a proactive approach to managing our health. Accountability and responsibility for managing your health is not easy and may require support once you make the commitment to prevention. We all know being healthy is better for us, but actually achieving our goals is the hard part. It really does not have to be hard and why not ask for support. Why not engage with a professional Health coach
for prevention rather than a doctor for illness or disease management. According to Well Coaches Corporation (2009), people who have engaged with a Health Coach have reported: 89% improvement in overall health and well-being, 56% improvement in time spent exercising, 75% decrease in stress related symptoms, 50% increase in making healthy food choices, 72% of people who lost weight were able to lose more than 5lbs, 40% remained tobacco free at 6 months. What is a Health coach and how can they help you achieve your optimal health and wellness goals? A Health coach supports and inspires you, encouraging you to become accountable and responsible for you health and wellness. A Health coach helps you to realize the short and long-term benefi ts of a preventive approach to managing your health, motivating you toward a healthier future. A relationship

draws inspiration for her pottery from her interest in Egyptian and African art. She’s fascinated with the repeated patterns used to embellish everyday objects. She “loves the tactile quality of the clay; feeling the way it changes form between my fi ngers.” She explains the differences between a gas fi red and electric kiln, “with an electric kiln you get the exact color, but with a gas kiln the colors are more earthy and spontaneous.” The pottery Elliot produces is, as she describes, “mostly functional things.” Visitors during the open house will see her studio with her wheel and kiln, as well as the “hundreds” of items for
sale in her gallery. Hog Shed Studio is located on Cattaraugus County Route 13 about 3 miles west of Maples. Phone: 716-257-9549. Each studio in the open house will have a map to get to the other locations. Hog Shed Studio Pottery can also be found on Google maps. West Valley native Robin Zefers Clark’s work has been described as “a gentle blurring of the line between past and present.” Her watercolors are often based on photos found in old family photo albums as well as using local farms, family and friends as subjects. “I tell stories to myself as I paint,” she explains. It’s that quality of story telling that links Robin to her canvas and the fi nished canvas to her viewer. A person viewing her work invariably begins to read a story into the faces and subjects
she presents. She is able to draw out subtleties of shading and color that evoke memories of a past time and place. As one somewhat grammar challenged letter she received said, “It’s like you been in my head? Like you seen what I seen.” A reverence for wood is the underlying philosophy for Dug Stein’s work at Woodswork Carvings. Inside his shop is a myriad of handcrafted wood objects: fi gures, sculptures, reliefs, furniture and treenware (wooden kitchen utensils). He’s known particularly for his whimsical Santa carvings and Native American subjects. 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. His phone 716-257-3642
the next few years.” Napoleon Engineering specializes in bearing inspection, bearing testing, and custom bearing manufacturing. It has been located in Olean since being started by Chris Napoleon as a one-person operation in 1997. Napoleon acknowledges the assistance provided by the Cattaraugus County I.D.A. in making their expansion become
a reality. Tax exemptions apply to “all our building materials, and if we buy any equipment in this expansion, its tax exempt.” He says the City of Olean has been supportive in obtaining building permits and “pushing our project through planning boards and such. We’ve never had a real hiccup from that standpoint.” So why choose Napoleon Engineering for the annual meeting of the I.D.A? Executive Director Corey Wiktor says the agency “typically has a site tour presentation of a project that the
I.D.A. was able to assist. Chris Napoleon has offered to give a brief presentation and a tour of the new facilities” located on Johnson Street in North Olean. Of the project, Wiktor says “Chris has made a huge commitment to Cattaraugus County and the City of Olean, which we are more than happy to assist in giving him various (tax) abatements, to help his business in the early, critical years.” The meeting and tour begin at 4:30 p.m. Dinner will follow at the Old Library Restaurant.
May, and he wanted me to go along. I had always wanted to go to Nepal, but not particularly when I’m 84.” After giving the matter some thought, she decided to go. “I talked it over with my daughter Penny and her husband Phil, who were both going. I certainly wouldn’t go without somebody who was interested in being with me. My family thought I could do it, and I keep in good shape. I’ve done a lot of climbing, but not at high altitudes. I’ve done the Appalachian Trail and the hundred highest (peaks) in New England. But I did that in my 70’s.” Edna prepared for her assault on Mt. Everest by fi rst heading out to her daughter’s home in Arizona. “I climbed with them (Penny and Phil) in mountains that were high, but not that high, because out west you can’t climb in the high mountains. There’s too much snow. But I got myself in shape and off I went!” Edna Northrup describes her adventure on Mt. Everest as “a most diffi cult climb. We were gone from May 5 until May 20. It’s a one hundred mile round trip. You start at 9,500 feet above sea level, and you go to 17,500 feet.” She did not go to the top, saying “I would never venture to do another 10,000 feet. Getting to the base camp was quite an achievement for all of us. The trails are very rugged and hard rock, not snow and ice. “ Still, it was “an amazing experience. The Nepali people were wonderful. It was something to see how people live in that altitude, and how they raise what they can to eat. And the whole time, you never see anything mechanical. There are no wheels at all. Everything is transported on people’s backs,
on yaks, or on some types of mules.” The climb to the base camp took nineteen days, to go in and come out. “I was very pleased to think that I could do it. I was with a very good group of people and we all made it.” Edna notes that normally, only about sixty percent of people in a group who attempt the trip make it to base camp. There were 42 people in her group, “and every one of us made it. There were (people of) different ages and abilities, but everyone supported one another.” The climbers had to cope with altitude sickness, and “the food is not what you’re used to. You get to sleep inside, but
there’s no indoor plumbing. So it’s not real comfortable at times.” They made the climb with essentials like water in a daypack; everything else was transported by yaks. Edna presented a slide show about her trip in June, seen by about 100 people. The video to be shown Tuesday is 55 minutes long. “It will show where we land, a few days of encampment, then climbing to different villages and mountains. It’s a whole thing of our particular trip.” But let’s not give away all the details. Edna says she’ll be there to greet people, talk with them, show the video, and answer any questions they might have.

My name is Erica Walker. I am 35 years old.
To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you just may be the world. Thank you from the Western New York Kidney Connection.
I have most recently been attending Erie Community College in hopes of attaining my Registered Nursing degree. I have about another year before I complete it. However, I’ve decided to take a break from it while attending to my most recent illness. I am trying to be brave and stay healthy enough until I can receive a kidney transplant. Doctors say I’m fairly young to be diagnosed with CKD. I have been receiving dialysis treatments for about a year now. I worked at Interstate Baking Company for 10 years prior to the plant closing a few years back. They made Wonder Bread and Hostess products right here in Buffalo, NY. My boyfriend, Jim, and I have recently purchased and moved into our fi rst home. We’re very excited. Our plans are to marry and raise a family here in Cheektowaga. If you are blood type “A” and would like to be Erica’s living kidney donor, please call Jeanette Ostrom at 716-450-8958 or e-mail Erica at [email protected]
