Special Events Meeting...Page 5 Responding to public concerns about problems at this year’s Fall Festival, Special Events chair Patra Lowes invited the public and business owners to the committee’s meeting Monday morning. About 10 citizens attended the meeting as well as several representatives from law enforcement.

The building is in an area zoned General Commercial. Mr. Northrup was asking that as long as no major changes in use are made, could he rent out the space? He pointed out that he realized that a drive through restaurant would not work because the property is too small. He mentioned something like a well drilling company might be appropriate. However, he emphasized that currently he has no idea what type of business might want to move in, adding he’s working from a “blank slate.” Northrup said he was asking the boards opinion because he wants to “promote something that’s promotable.” The board responded that as long as a business being considered fits under general commercial, there should be no problem, and that other types of businesses might need a non- conforming use permit. SUBDIVISION ON POVERTY HILL Mr. Andrew Gow of Nussbaumer and Clark addressed the board on behalf of some developers from Montreal with preliminary plans to create a subdivision on Poverty Hill Road. They are proposing an 1,100 acre subdivision at the north end of Poverty Hill. The development will be called Blueberry Lake, and will include a manmade lake. The top of the hill will be community area and will include tennis courts, and possibly a pool.

The officers were elected by voice vote. WIND FARM INSTALLATION PROBLEMS On hand for the meeting was Mr. John Hare of The Town of Allegheny. He described the current problems with in installation of a wind turbine farm in the town.

And wasn’t it a beauty? Nature has its own version of “trick or treat” you know. And for most of the month, it was a

real pleasure for those of us who relish the crisp weather, the blue skies and the gorgeous palate of colors one can only find in the Enchanted Mountains. And now? We’re down to one last weekend – one last fling for fall. The transition to November can be a rough one, so you better saddle up and come on in to Ellicottville this weekend to see some sights of a different variety. I speak, of course, of the trick or treaters. Halloween falls on a Wednesday night this year, and the early evening hours are for the little ones to parade from house to house, busily collecting candy while dressed as their favorite animal, vegetable or cartoon. Later in the evening, while

the wee ones empty their pillow cases and count their loot, there’s no doubt the village will have more than its fair share of slightly more mature revelers and lunatics, also dressed in a wide (and sometimes very strange) array of frightening garb. If you’ve never been to Balloons on Halloween night, you are really missing out. And don’t forget to visit our good friends over at Sommerville Valley’s “Nightmare Hayride.” Just the ticket to get you in the spirit of things, (pun intended). So, dear readers, the last weekend of October can hold a lot of fun for folks of all ages. Pull out something interesting, put it on, and c’mon downtown! Happy Halloween, y’all! Until next week …JZ

The Lustre Kings Return To BalloonsHalloween Night!

Mark Gamsjager and the Lustre Kings play rock and roll the right way. The powerhouse Albany NY combo has wowed crowds at Manhattan’s Rodeo Bar, Seattle’s Tractor Tavern and all points in-between; and they’ve done it with uncommon fervor, commitment and flair. The Gretsch-toting Gamsjager draws from a deeper well than most roots rock acts, giving his music a breadth and depth while still keeping the bar hopping and the dance floor filled. In addition to their own dates, Mark Gamsjager and the Lustre Kings have also accompanied Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly, for over five years, and frequently work with other seasoned artists like Bill Kirchen, Eddie Angel and Robert Gordon. Jackson says, “I have worked with many bands around the world through the years, and none are better than Mark Gamsjager and the Lustre Kings. Their fine showmanship and musical ability make them the greatest in my book. THEY ROCK!!” The Lustre Kings’ new, appropriately-titled long-player “Way Out There” (Wild Boar

The Lustre Kings ReturnThe Lustre Kings Return To Balloons Halloween Night At 8PM

Records) is their fourth and finest effort. In his liner notes for the album, six-string wizard Deke Dickerson says, “Like a fine wine, the Lustre Kings just get better with each passing year, and this new album has the seasoned bouquet and nutty aftertastes that won’t leave you disappointed.” And one-name-only Really Rockabilly reviewer, Kitti, says, a little more seriously than old Deke, “There is a rockin’ rhythm throughout the album which perfectly unites all the songs. You have a feeling of traveling in time through America, and the Lustre Kings’ time machine will show you the way out of the present and introduce you to doo-wop, country, hillbilly, bop and wild rock’n’roll, and then bring you back to rockabilly.” As noted, “Way Out There” is the fourth full-length platter from the band. The group’s righteous Cacophone debut album, “Mark Gamsjager Rocks & The Lustre Kings Roll,” was a travelogue of great American rock and roll, with tunes from legends like Gene Vincent and Ronnie Self, as well as from contemporaries like Commander Cody’s Billy C. Farlow and the aforementioned Los Straitjackets’ guitar strangler, Eddie Angel. Amazon.com’s Stephen Prisco called the record a keeper, saying “While most rockabilly bands seem to be content with just recreating the sound of classic records from years ago, the Lustre Kings have captured the spirit of that era, tapping into what made those records and artists so great in the first place.”

The Lustre Kings’ sophomore effort, “Once a King, Always a King,” upped the ante with even more “hot boppin’ rockabilly action,” prompting the Berkshire Eagle to proclaim “The Lustre Kings dig deep into early rock and related styles, steering away from a greatest-hits oldies approach, preferring to connect the dots among such unlikely musical bedfellows as Conway Twitty, Peanuts Wilson, Link Wray and Duke Ellington (they even render a surf-guitar version of the Duke’s “Caravan”).” And the killer third album, “That’s Showbiz,” the first on the Lustre Kings’ own Wild Boar Records label, caused The Beat to rave “Gamsjager remembers when “rock ‘n’ roll” actually used to signify something, and his band sounds like it just left Sun Studios yesterday.” The Lustre Kings have a devoted international fan base and they continue to tear up the road every year, performing over 150 dates annually and appearing regularly at events like the Viva Las Vegas Festival (Las Vegas NV), the Heritage Folk Festival (Bangor ME) and the Rockin 50s Fest (Green Bay WI) as well as at famed haunts like the Continental Club (Austin TX), The Sutler (Nashville TN), The Starr Bar (Atlanta GA), The Hi-Tone (Memphis TN), Johnny D’s (Somerville MA), The Big C Jamboree at Martyr’s (Chicago IL) and, of course, the Mid-City Lanes Rock ‘n’ Bowl (New Orleans LA). Creative Loafing got it right when they said, “The Lustre Kings have a sound so powerful it leaves listeners hungry for more.”

Kody Sprague DevelopmentA Look Into The New Development

storY BY John thomasstaFF Writer

Responding to public concerns about problems at this year’s Fall Festival, Special Events chair Patra Lowes invited the public and business owners to the committee’s meeting Monday morning. About 10 citizens attended the meeting as well as several representatives from law enforcement. In general everyone agreed that during the day problems were minimal, but at night the mood of the crowd shifted perceptibly to an atmosphere of heavy drinking and rowdy behavior. Mayor Coolidge acknowledged the shift, “the crowd we get after 6:00pm; I don’t know where they come from.” Several of the citizens made comments along the lines that Fall Festival used to be a family oriented event, but over the years has shifted away from its art show roots. John Northrup agreed, saying, “We are definitely headed in a direction that is not good.” A restaurant manager pointed out, years ago people spent money at the event, but added the people who want to buy things and eat at the restaurants are staying away. Miguel Azcarate, owner of Mud Sweat and Gears said, “My business doesn’t really benefit from the thing (Fall Festival).” He went on to point out that Peak ‘N Peak has a fall festival that attracts families and doesn’t seem to have nearly the problems of Ellicottville.

Special Events MeetingFuture of Fall Festival Debated

Other problems were mentioned, Betsy from Hoagies said she had found several women urinating on the patio behind their restaurant. Other people complained of fights, rowdiness and loud music throughout the village. The mayor pointed out that 64 busloads of people arrived and many of them had started drinking on the bus. It was pointed out that several business owners allowed parking in the alley behind their stores, blocking emergency vehicle access. In general, most comments concerned the crowds on Washington. The mayor repeated his comment from the Village Board meeting, “There is a ticking time bomb on Main Street.”

Police resPonse The police representatives responded to the rumors and letters in the papers. They said there was “no case where anybody got mugged.” But, they did mention there was an assault on 219 and one fight that is under investigation. In all, they recorded only 30 police and EMS calls over the weekend, some of which included home alarms. They said there were only eight police complaints. To the charge that police were only seen in the Main Street area, they said they had been asked to concentrate on the village, but that patrols had gone to outside areas. They pointed out that if people are “getting hammered” inside a bar or on private property, there is little they can do. They did point out

most of the bars were trying to keep patrons from taking open containers onto the streets.PossiBle sUGGestions There were a number of positive suggestions made improve the event. No one at the meeting seemed to feel that Fall Festival should be ended. One suggestion was made to “reset” the festival by not having it next year and then re-establishing it with changes made to control the crowds. But most people felt that changes should be made in next year’s event. One involved having a volunteer greet each bus as it pulls into town. They would explain to the passengers the open container laws, and other rules, but if a single visitor seems to be drunk, the bus would be turned around. Someone suggested not closing the streets, and spreading the events over a wider area. Others suggested eliminating the beer tents and live music, or stopping alcohol at midnight. There was a suggestion of a temporary detention area, where inebriated people would be given a “time out” to drink some coffee and have chance to sober up. In the end it was Patra Lowes who seemed to sum the feelings of the group. She said that Fall Festival “should not go away, but should be revamped.” Ms. Lowes invited any member of the public to send suggestions to the Village office addressed to her. Another person was heard to say, “if we all work together we can solve this.” At this point the committee went into executive session.

It’s almost time for bowling in Ellicottville! Kody Sprague has his construction crews working feverishly to get Tim and Bonnies Pizza and Bowling alleys up and running in time for a hoped for grand opening in a couple weeks. Sprague is the owner of the former Nannen Bat factory complex off Elizabeth Street in Ellicottville and is in the process of renovating it into a multi-use retail/restaurant/office facility. He’s also quite busy getting leased space ready for a number of other tenants who have signed on in recent weeks. Check back next week for the full update.

(Pictured Left to Right) 1. The focal point of the main floor is the chrome and wood stairway. It connects the upper and lower floors. The dining area is on the right with the kitchen in the background. A fireplace is at the other end of the room. 2. Stainless steel appliances, marble counter tops, and Tree Frog cabinets, give the kitchen a contemporary, sleek look.. 3. The upstairs features two master bedrooms, this is the larger of the two.

(Pictured Left to Right) 1. The downstairs family room has a pool table, wet bar, and access to the outside patio. 2. The master bath has a large walk in shower, and this unique bath tub.

The contemporary lines of the back exterior reflect the latest in building designs. The large covered decks are supported by stone columns.

This Christmas wonderland begins on Friday, November 23rd. The Village of Ellicottville, a Norman Rockwell painting in the making, will be the background for beautiful strolling choirs harmonizing all our favorite Christmas carols. The smell of hot chocolate, hot apple cider and the decorated windows in this historic 19th century village will bring back thoughts of a Christmas past. As the daylight comes to an end a spectacle unlike any other will appear as the village of Ellicottville comes to life in white Christmas lights and the three story tall Christmas tree is lit up. Throughout the event, activities will include Christmas carolers, reindeer, hot-chocolate,cookie decorating, horse and wagon rides as well as Fire Truck rides with Santa.

You might wonder what a contemporary home like this is doing in a ski town. Not that it’s out of place; in fact it looks perfectly at home perched on a wooded hillside. Its stone and clapboard facade setting a nice counterpoint to the fall colors. Going through the front door it’s easy to expect a wood and stone interior, but what you will find are the sleek stylish lines of chrome and wood, natural hardwood floors, and earth toned wall coverings. Gone is any suggestion of: chalet, cabin, lodge, hut, or shack. Instead you’ll find a glistening contemporary home that would fit in an urban landscape as well as it fits here. The main floor is great example of the new trend of home design.

Energy inefficient great rooms have given way to smaller open areas that combine the kitchen, dining room, and a small living area in compact space. Handsome bamboo flooring is under foot and a fireplace warms the room. Just past the dining area the is an efficient kitchen. Stainless steel appliances are set off by the attractive Tree Frog cabinets. A brown marble work counter and breakfast bar divides the space. The covered deck off this floor seems suspended in the trees. Past the half bath is the laundry, and the entrance to the finished garage. The focal point for this level is the open wood and chrome staircase that goes to the two other floors. Its a testament to the homes urban roots. Upstairs is a loft that looks down on the floor below. There are two bedrooms, a full bath, and two master suites each with

their own bath. Both suites are good sized as are their baths. On the ground floor is a large family room with a pool table, wet bar, and wide screen TV. Down the hall is a steam room with sitting area plus a multi head shower area shower. There is also a 1/2 bath on this floor plus one on the main level. Sliding glass doors open to the ground level patio. To the left is a fire pit, and to the right a pad all set for a hot tub. The home is built with frame foam insulated walls that offer an R51 insulation rating, and uses Anderson Series 400 windows, so despite its citified pedigree, it’s ready for ski country. Seeing as how it’s only a stones throw from HoliMont and downtown Ellicottville, its a good thing.

The old saying is that beauty is only skin deep but the Ellicottville Oasis Spa goes beyond the surface and provides treatments that are good for the whole body and soul. It is also widely believed that a good way to cultivate inner beauty is to help others. Joanne Timkey the proprietor of the spa is doing just that with her plan to donate makeup and skin care products to the Kathleen Mary House, a non-profit organization in Blasdell, New York that provides a safe, nurturing transitional environment for victims of domestic violence. When asked about what motivated this selfless act, Ms. Timkey simply stated, “Its heartwarming to be able to donate to such a worthy cause.” Giving to those in need

STW

I just finished watching the third and final Presidential debate and I have to tell ya, I’m exhausted. Actually, I watched it online the following morning because, to be honest with you, Monday Night Football felt a little less brutal to me than the staged cockfights that pass for debates these days. Seriously, what was once a forum on the issues of the day has devolved into a raging battle of who can “out zing” his opponent and interrupt the most times. During the first debate in 1960 it all came down to appearance. Kennedy looked young, handsome and ready for the task at hand. Nixon? Well he looked like a pasty Ellicottville Octoberfest casualty making the “walk-of-shame” on Sunday morning. These days it’s about insults and sloganeering. It’s about shaming your opponent into submission. It’s reality TV at its finest. Scattered throughout the three debates there were, however, some nuggets of real information being tossed about. We learned a few things that I already knew or

suspected to be true. One party, it seems, has accepted the fact that it’s a changing world and adjustments need to be made. The other party? Well, they’re still Republicans. It will always be the 80’s to them. Reagan will always be a saint and the Russians are getting ready to take over the world with their massive military might. Mitt Romney is no different. For Romney this race has been all about the economy. Cuts must be made and the budget must be balanced. Even PBS, with it’s miniscule amount of Government funding will be gone. This is literally his entire campaign. Then, during the third and final debate, Romney, in full time-warp mode, tosses out the fact that he wants to increase military spending by two-trillion dollars! Two trillion! Do you know who calls this idea ridiculous? The Military! They didn’t ask for nor do they need a two trillion dollar budget increase. When asked where this massive increase in spending would come from Romney, as usual, dodged the question. Romney, like the rest of the GOP, is stuck in a time when two massive armies faced each other across a vast ocean. His main talking point during this portion of the debate was that our navy currently has fewer ships then it did in 1917. Obama pointed out that our military also has fewer horses and bayonets then it did in 1917 illustrating the fact that a changing world must dictate the shape of our military. Most of the ships we used during WW1 were troop transports because we had no other way to get our boys overseas.

Romney’s total ignorance about the face and changing nature of modern warfare is shocking and should set off alarm bells across the nation. For a candidate to believe that we need more battleships to fight Jihadists and tin-pot third world dictators is insane. We need a lighter, faster military that can respond on a moments notice anywhere in the world. If we’ve learned anything from modern warfare it should be the fact that the mightiest military force in the world means nothing when you cant see your enemy. Two Trillion Bucks! That number illustrates the GOP mindset. Education? Slash it. Medicaid? Gone. Medicare? Vouchers. Poor folks? Make them fend for themselves. Massive corporations and big business? Cut their taxes and spoon feed them. Why? Because they supply the Military Industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about. Nothing Mitt Romney or the extreme Right Wing of the Republican Party talks about has anything to do with the welfare of the average American. It’s all about profit margin. It’s all about keeping fat-cats fat and rich folks rich. While prolonged war sucks at our overall economy there will always be a few folks that profit from it. Who do those folks donate money to during elections? The candidate that promises more military contracts. Romney’s military budget is that of a poorly disguised war-profiteer. They had fewer of those in 1917 also. Questions or Comment… email Doug at: shakedowndoug@ hotmail.com

Statistics show that unless we start making important changes in our lifestyle, one in EIGHT women will get breast cancer. According to some researchers, one of the main concepts we need to learn is that breast cancer is primarily an estrogen-dependant cancer. That means, it is triggered by exposure to excessive amounts of estrogen, not just estrogen our body produces, but environmental chemicals that mimic estrogens. So, the first step is to keep these negative estrogens also called “xenoestrogens” in check. It is also very important to have a healthy diet by eating organic fruits and vegetables, and avoiding meat and chicken treated with hormones and antibiotics. Estrogens are commonly fed to dairy cattle and chicken to increase milk and egg production, this is in addition to pesticides residues that wind up in these foods. Another source of xenoestrogens based on Steve Horne’s research, is plastics. Some examples are soft plastic

toys, soft plastic containers, and water bottles. There are also xenoestrogens in some laundry detergents, household cleaning products, shampoos, perfumes and cosmetics.Your body has natural means of defense to destroy excess estrogens. The liver is one of the main organs in charge of breaking down these toxins. You might think, then let the liver do its work! However it is not that simple, because the liver has more than 500 different functions, it gets over worked and when it gets full of toxins it is hard to get them out of the body. For the liver to be able to detoxify it needs to get good nutrition to function properly. Foods high in sulfur are very important, like garlic, onions and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens and turnips. There is also a sulfur compound as a supplement from cruciferous vegetables called Indole-3 Carbinol that is particularly helpful in breaking down excess estrogens. It can be used as a supplement by women wishing to reduce their risk of breast cancer, for fighting breast cancer and other ailments caused by excess estrogen like hot flashes before and during menopause. Herbal liver cleanses such as All Cell Detox and Enviro-Detox can also help the body breaking down not only xenoestrogens, but other chemicals as well. It is important to nurture your body with pH balance nutrients and antioxidants, like Ultimate Nature’s Harvest, Green Zone and Thai-go or Super Orac. You also need good fats in your body from nuts, avocados, deep ocean fish and coconut oil, or supplement with Flax Seed Oil, Krill Oil or Super Omega

3. New research shows the importance of supplementing with Vitamin D. Researchers at the University Of Rochester Medical Center followed 155 breast cancer patients months before and after surgery. Low vitamin D levels were seen in the presence of biomarkers of aggressive tumors. Women with triple-negative tumors were three times as likely to have low vitamin D levels when compared with other breast cancers. The best ways to increase your vitamin D levels is to absorb the sun’s rays and to consume it through food and high quality supplements. Also enhance the health of your breast by making sure your glandular system is working properly and your hormones are balanced. For starters, experts recommend getting an adequate intake of iodine. The thyroid is the bigger user of this awesome nutrient. The second user is your breasts. Natural sources of iodine may help women with breast cysts as well. Iodine can be found in supplements like Kelp, Dulse and concentrated Black Walnut. I personally like the herbal combination Master Gland; it has these nutrients and more to support the entire glandular system. Pro-G-Yam, a progesterone cream helps to balance hormones and block the action of xenoestrogens.

review for The Woods at Bear Creek project. The proposal is to refurbish an old campground in Machias. Phase one of the project needs only a SEQR review, as the work planed consists mostly of renovating the existing cabins. Phase two of the plan may need a DEC review as it is more ambitious. The CCIDA found no significant environmental impact with phase one.

closinG oF Dal-tile in olean

The closing of the Dal-Tile plant came up for discussion. Mr. Wiktor said it still “stings” that the 99 year old company did not make it to 100 years. Mr. Diego Sirianni from Empire State Development commented that the closing had affected 174 families. He mentioned that the state is working with real estate agents to find a new tenant for the building. eXecUtive Director

rePort Mr. Wiktor gave his Executive Director report, among the things he mentioned were

positive publicity for the area in various venues: Northwest Ski Magazine rated Holiday Valley the number 6th ski resort in the East Coast, and various stories of local developments in area newspapers including The Villager. He mentioned work on a possible extension to the New York and Lake Erie railroad. He also extended “kudos” to Sprague Washington Square Development for their project to turn the old Bat Factory into a bowling alley, pizza parlor, and other establishments. At this point the board moved into executive session to talk about possible property disposition.

parts of the old Ellicottville and Concord Ski Clubs. They will create about 24, five-acre lots and will establish a road from Poverty Hill into the property. Currently their plans call for the road to end at the Mansfield town line. There was mention of a New York State resolution that discourages establishing

too many dead end roads. One member of the board expressed a desire to see the road extended into Mansfield. Of more concern to the board was the fact that the developers do not currently own the land in question, and shouldn’t that prevent them from approaching the board with plans. However, it was pointed out that a letter from the land owners is enough to allow the developers to proceed. Mark Alianellio pointed out that the project is “exactly what you want in a LD (Low Density housing)

zone.” Mr. Gow stated that the developers still have a long way to go in formulating plans, and acquiring the property, but at this time they were looking for the boards opinion. One of the board members commented, “I see no reason to discourage them.”

GLEN BURN TRAIL In other business it was reported that the developers of the Glen Burn Trail are amending their master plan, and will come back to the board in November or December.

County lawmakers voted to apply for a $1-million state grant to expand broadband service in the county.

BROADBAND UPDATE Currently, the planning board is continuing work on the broadband project in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties. Zink says the project is growing across the three-county region. He says the three counties are “constantly” talking about the need to get and utilize it, not only in villages, but in rural areas. “It needs to be addressed for a number of economic reasons across our region.” Zink notes that that the agency has addressed three broadband projects, which are nearly complete. An application for a fourth broadband project will involve libraries, and 27 communities in Cattaraugus

and Chautauqua Counties. He says that while most libraries have access to wifi, funding under a Southern Tier West grant application could provide funding for libraries to upgrade their electronic equipment, such as new computers, new servers, and new I-pads. Zink explained that the intent is to expand broadband service to areas where satellite is the only option. Small businesses, residences, not-for-profits, and agriculture would benefit, according to Zink.SURVEY PRODUCERS and

FARMERS Discussion is also continuing on a Local Foods program and establishing a food hub. Zink calls the effort a “work in progress.” He explains, “The study for which we are funded looks to really pin down what size and capacity a food hub should look like in our region. There are lots of questions to be answered, such as where it would be located, and the business structure needed to make it successful. We’ll try to lay a framework so people can

have some data, and use that to proceed in the way that they want to create one (a food hub), or not.” Southern Tier West plans to survey producers and farmers, and the needs of institutions like schools and hospitals. “If you sell (local food) to a school or a hospital, it needs to be packaged or sorted a certain way, and identified in a certain way. All that information needs to be available to producers, so they can do it properly and have a market into which they can expand.” Zink says more and more farmers and institutions are seeing the benefit of local foods, not only for security, but for other issues such as transportation. “And it really helps the local economy.” Zink says that keeping the money local can be substantial, given the amount of money spent on food by institutions and individuals across the three-county region served by the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board. The next board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, December 20th.

The resort began in 1957. A ski club was formed in Ellicottville in 1935, drawing visitors from Buffalo, Rochester and Cleveland. A few people decided to invest in a resort, and Holiday Valley is now ranked one of the

best ski resorts in the east. It has 13 lifts, 58 slopes and trails, three lodges, two hotels, a golf course, pools and more.Those seeking positions this winter can visit the Oct. 27 job fair at Holiday Valley.

Newly-Expanded Hotel Tower at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel

One of Western New York’s best-kept secrets is about to take the spotlight. Offi cials with the Seneca Nation of Indians and Seneca Gaming Corporation met Wednesday to celebrate the newly-expanded hotel tower at Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel in Salamanca, NY, as the fi rst four fl oors open to the public. The $53 million project adds more than 30 jobs and 200 hotel rooms – further cementing the AAA Four Diamond Award–winning property as the ultimate getaway destination in New York’s Southern Tier Region. A tour of the new rooms and suites, complete with breathtaking views of the Allegany Mountains, will take place immediately following a brief press conference.
