The Olean Rod and Gun Club is getting set for one of the largest gun shows to hit the area. The show is set to take place this Saturday and Sunday, October 15th and 16th, at the Dan Carter Event Center on the West Five Road in Allegany, just off Route 86 at the Allegany exit. About 120 to 130 tables have been lined up for the gun show, according to club trustee Charlie Schappacher. The club runs two shows a year, one in March and one in October. Schappacher notes, “We had a big show last March, when we had 2,000 people through the door. This October, we hope to do at least the same.” This week’s show will feature forty vendors. In addition, the U-S Army will be there with their interactive laser rifle range. There will

also be a pellet rifle range. Both of them are free. There will be a ten-gun raffle at the show. “Leading the raffle is a 30 caliber Remington called an R-15, which is a deer gun rather than a varmint gun.” Schappacher says word of the gun show is getting around. “People keep talking about the gun shows we used to have at the (Olean) Armory.” Admission to the gun show is $5 at the door. The purchase of a $10 raffle ticket will cover the $5 admission price. “Most of the money benefits the Rod and Gun Club. We donate to other worthy causes as well. This time we’re donating money to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund.” That’s for children of soldiers who were killed in action or who have been 100 percent disabled. Last year, the fund provided

The electrifying voice of Rick Springfield has been rocking us for decades. From his Grammy-winning “Jessie’s Girl” to other hit singles “I Get Excited” and “Don’t Talk to Strangers,” Springfield has an energy that can be felt in every note. This Saturday night at the Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca, Springfield can be seen live on stage starting at 7pm. Tickets start at $25.00 for the nationally known artist and all ages are welcome (under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). The concert event will be held in the Events Center within the Casino itself. Don’t miss this award-winning artist this coming weekend! Tickets are available at all Seneca Casio box offices, Ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster locations or by phone at 800-745-3000.

October 2011 marks the 26th year of celebrating breast cancer awareness, education and empowerment in the

United States. Today, in our country alone, there are over 2.6 million breast cancer survivors and with your help, that number will continue to climb. Other than skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed

cancer among women in our country. It is second leading, after lung cancer, in cancer-related deaths. According to the National Cancer Institute, in 2011, 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women

and 2,140 new cases in men; an estimated 39,520 female and 450 men will die from breast cancer. In Cattaraugus County breast cancer

Not only have many of the headstones been cleaned, but a number of the monuments that had been lying on the ground are now upright. About a third of the 420 memorials have been cleaned so far. The commit-tee will be ready to seek funding to complete phase two of the restoraction project.

If you have driven by the Jefferson Street Cemetery in the past several days you may have noticed the gleaming headstones in the front of the cemetery. Not only have many of the headstones been cleaned, but a number of the monuments that had been lying on the ground are now upright. The project began back in

June and is being headed by Mary Elizabeth Dunbar and Gail Carucci. “I’m really happy with the way it’s coming out,” Gail says. About a third of the 420 memorials have been cleaned so far. Work is also progressing on rebuilding the stone wall that borders part of the Jefferson Street border of the cemetery. Kenny Hinman is heading up that project. Gail says that in about a year she will be seeking funding to complete phase two of the restoration project.

In August Curt Crandall of Crandall’s Memorials in Olean instructed about 20 volunteers in the proper technique to safely clean the markers. The basic cleaning consisted of gently scrubbing the markers with Orvus soap, a very mild detergent that would not damage the stone. It was then rinsed with water. After the basic cleaning was done, the professionals from Crandall’s

Eaton Benefit a Success“Turning Double Bogies Into Birdies”

The “Turning Double Bogies Into Birdies” golf tournament held in September at Double Black Diamond at Holiday Valley was a very successful fundraiser to benefit The Richard J. Eaton Foundation for Men’s Cancer Awareness, Research and Cure. Thanks to the many generous donors and

participants, the rain held off and over $5,500 was raised that day! The Eaton Foundation’s mission is to fund research for a cure, but just as important is to make men AWARE by spreading the word to all men of the importance of early screening. This golf tournament did raise AWARENESS and the

funds raised will be used in our area. The tournament committee thanks the tee sponsors, businesses that donated prizes, everyone at Holiday Valley and those that played for making the day a success. Plan now to participate in next years “Turning Double Bogies into Birdies” golf tournament on August 8th, 2012.

Fall Festival Weekend 2011 has officially passed and the village streets have returned their usual state of peace and tranquility. It’s almost as if the entire area is in the midst of a deep and relieving exhale at the moment as we enjoy our first opportunity to view the surrounding hills and autumn colors on our own. It feels great, and though we’re still a bit tired there’s really only one thing to say…Man, what a weekend! “The weather was just outstanding,” says Charlie Coolidge, Mayor of Ellicottville, “it was extremely cooperative and all of the villagers and village businesses were extremely supportive and everything was just perfect.” Coolidge isn’t kidding. The weather was unreal, especially for October in Ellicottville. Temperatures soared to over 75 Degrees, the sun shined like Ellicottville was a Florida beach and there wasn’t a cloud to be seen in the sky. The weather did more than cooperated; it set the tone for the weekend. The village visitors didn’t shy away from cooperation either. Not a single open container ticket was awarded to an unlucky (or irresponsible)

festivalgoer. “On behalf of myself and the Village Board, I would like to extend a few well-earned ‘Thank You’s,’” Coolidge continued, “I would like to thank Officer in Charge Don Auge and the Town Police Department as well as the Village Constables, Constable Gifford and Constable Dunkleman for their leadership. Also a huge thanks to the County Sheriff Department and the NYS Police for their cooperative efforts in making Fall Festival a safe and successful weekend. The DPW was just incredible as well. All the work they did this weekend; I don’t even know if a ‘thank you’ is enough.” Officer in Charge, Don Auge also reflected on the success of the weekend. “All in all the festival was rather uneventful from a law enforcement standpoint,” Auge revealed, “We only had a couple arrests. The State Police and County Police Departments were there and a great help. People really acted responsibly this year and the arrest numbers are there to support that. I’m a big believer in outcomes like this being a reflection of proper police presence. It was a great weekend in all aspects.” As per usual the streets of Ellicottville as well as Holiday Valley were jammed with

visitors for the entire weekend. Shops, restaurants and tents lined the streets selling goods including everything from handmade jewelry to jacuzzi tubs and pig roasts. Children enjoyed the carnival set up in the Coffee Culture parking lot featuring several rides and a giant slide. Smiles were the theme of the weekend and were seen all around. “Everything was just great,” reflected Brian McFadden, Executive Director of the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. “A lot of work goes into this weekend but it really pays off when you see how much people love it. I would just like to say ‘thank you’ to the town and village as well as all the law enforcement and the DPW for all their cooperative efforts. Our girls here at the Chamber did a tremendous job as well. The weekend was a complete success.” So, now what? Well, though most of us aren’t quite ready for the s-word yet (Snow…there it’s been said), our busiest season is now on the horizon. This warm weather certainly isn’t here for long. We all know that. So grab your skis and boards, Ellicottville, Fall Festival is over for 2011 and the powder is on the way! Suck it up, the snow is coming...See you on the slopes!

The next time you go on vacation, you should give Ellicottville’s Chamber of Commerce a quick call. Mr. McFadden can look at his magic weather calendar and steer you towards some absolutely gorgeous conditions. Last weekend’s annual fall festival was spot-on perfect and no doubt was a result of skillful scheduling… What a spectacular autumn event – every single aspect of the weekend fell together perfectly, which is a testament to the expertise our local Chamber and merchants continually demonstrate. Everyone realizes the economic importance this annual celebration of fall brings to our restaurants, pubs and retail establishments. What isn’t as apparent is the goodwill and better relationships the event generates. Ellicottville has firmly

established itself as a quaint and unique experience; truly a four-season resort community. Western New Yorkers and our dear friends north of the border have known this for some time. And now we see visitors from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and parts further discovering what we have to offer – good times, great people and beautiful scenery. And now we get a little breather before we settle in to what we do best around here – taking care of our seasonal residents and visitors who enjoy falling snow flakes a little more than falling leaves. What a fabulous way to say good bye to this awesome autumn we’ve had… So, dear readers, break out the warm clothes, stay busy and enjoy the post-Fall Fest season. Until next week… JZ

SBU Hosts Seaway MeetingMathematical Associate of America to Meet Friday, October 14,2011

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Oct. 6, 2011 — The mathematics of DNA victim identification, communicating mathematics effectively, and how to cover sustainability issues in mathematics classes are among the topics that will be explored during an upcoming regional meeting of the Mathematics Association of America (MAA) at St. Bonaventure University. The Fall 2011 MAA Seaway Section Meeting will be held Friday, Oct. 14, and Saturday, Oct. 15, and features four plenary presentations, including banquet speaker Jonathan Hoyle, a Macintosh software architect at Eastman Kodak in Rochester, who will discuss “Forensic Mathematics and the World Trade Center Project.” In 2001, Hoyle was a senior software engineer and mathematician at Gene Codes Forensics and was responsible for implementing the mathematical algorithms used in M-FISys, the forensic software written specifically for the World Trade Center project. The victim identification process was the largest and most complex forensic project in history. Hoyle’s presentation will

describe the events of 9/11 from a forensic perspective and detail the mathematics of DNA victim identification, including DNA fingerprinting, kinship analysis and other genetic applications of forensic mathematics. Some 125 mathematics faculty, students and practitioners are expected to attend the conference, which will feature more than a dozen presentations by faculty members from colleges and universities in the region as well as a number of student research projects. In addition to Hoyle, the other plenary speakers and topics are: · Ivars Peterson, director of publications and communications at the Mathematical Association of America in Washington, D.C., who will give a presentation on “Pancake Sorting, Prefix Reversals, and DNA Rearrangements,” and the workshop “Writing Mathematics Well.” · Tom Pfaff, associate professor of mathematics at Ithaca College, who will discuss “Sustain This! Making Math Matter.” · Dror Bar-Natan, a professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto, who

will discuss “The Hardest Math I’ve Ever Really Used.” The MAA Seaway Section consists of New York state (except for New York City and the metro area) and part of southern Ontario. Participants from the following organizations will be attending the conference: Alfred University, Binghamton University, Brock University, Broome Community College, Buffalo State University, Colgate University, Eastman Kodak, Elmira College, Hamilton College, Ithaca College, Mathematical Association of America, Nazareth College, Niagara University, Roberts Wesleyan College, Rochester Institute of Technology, Saint John Fisher College, SUNY College at Oneonta, SUNY Fredonia, SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Potsdam, The College at Brockport, University of Rochester, University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, Utica College, and Western Carolina University. More information about the meeting, abstracts on the presentations and background on the speakers is available at www.sbu.edu/math/seaway.

Roast to Honor SBU RetireeTeases and Tributes: Retired Dean Lauded after SBU’s Award Ceremony ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Oct. 7, 2011 — A night filled with playful jabs and the occasional roundhouse wisecrack ended with a touching tribute from a professor who couldn’t bring himself to poke fun at the man he called boss for 15 years. “I cannot roast Lee Coppola. The man means too much to me,” said Dr. Denny Wilkins, choking back tears. Wilkins was the last of nine speakers — from classmates to colleagues to cabinet members — who paid tribute to Coppola immediately after the 51st annual Hellinger Awards ceremony Thursday night at Templeton Landing in Buffalo. Coppola, an icon in Buffalo journalism for his work at the Buffalo News and channels 4 and 7, retired in May after serving since 1996 as dean of the Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Bob McCarthy, ’76, honored earlier in the evening as the J/MC Alumnus of the Year, served as emcee for the good-natured roast of Coppola, which began with an eloquent tribute, live from Singapore via Skype, from Deb Henretta, ’83, the group president for Procter & Gamble Asia. In between speakers, McCarthy read fictional telegrams based on facts poking fun at Coppola, including one recalling the day he and some fellow reporters at the Buffalo News hatched a failed plan to skip out of work to attend a festival in Toronto

— on the first day of the Attica Prison uprising in 1971. Coppola expressed thanks to all for their kind and kidding words, grateful that when he “rubbed the magic lamp, his three wishes came true — a great family, great friends and a job he loved coming to every day.” Kristy Kibler, class of 2011, won the Hellinger Award, given annually to the school’s top J/MC student. During her time at St. Bonaventure, Kibler served as editor in chief of The Bona Venture and The Communicator, co-hosted a radio show on WSBU, and contributed to The Arm, a campus creative writing group. Also a French minor, she has been inducted into Kappa Tau Alpha, the National Journalism and Mass Communication Honor Society, and Pi Delta Phi, the National French Honor Society. Kibler, from Varysburg, studied in England through the Francis E. Kelley Oxford Program and wrote a weekly column about her experiences abroad for The Daily News in Batavia. She also completed summer internships at the Fort Knox, Ky., Public Affairs Office and The Buffalo News. Kibler is the news editor for The Country Courier in Warsaw. Erin Keenan Lowry, ’11, was the Hellinger runnerup. She spent her formative years in North Carolina, Japan and China, and double majored in journalism and mass communications and theater at

St. Bonaventure. Lowry’s internship experiences included working for CNN’s Atlanta Bureau and the Diocese of Buffalo’s Communications Department. She ended up focusing in broadcast and spent much of her senior year dedicated to reporting for SBU-TV. She now lives in New York City and works as a page for “The Late Show with David Letterman.” McCarthy worked for the Olean Times Herald for six years and joined the Buffalo Evening News in 1982 as a general assignment reporter. He then worked the police, state government and transportation beats. He succeeded George Borrelli as political reporter in 1992. McCarthy received a 2006 New York State Publishers Association first-place award with colleague Michael Beebe for stories on irregularities in the State Liquor Authority that led to the chairman’s resignation and major reforms of the agency.

Taikoza Visits SBUSt. Bonaventure’s Quick Center Will Host Japanese Drum Ensemble ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Oct. 12, 2011 — The amazing drum group Taikoza will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21, at St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Arts Center. It is the second concert of the 2011-12 Friends of Good Music season. Roughly translated, “taiko” means “big drums” and that’s exactly what Taikoza delivers: big drums, powerful rhythms, and electrifying energy. This exciting group draws from Japan’s rich tradition of music and performance to create a highly visual show. With colorful traditional costumes and dynamic motion, Taikoza’s performances are immensely popular with audiences of all ages. Taikoza has created a new sound using a variety of traditional instruments. In addition to drums of assorted sizes, the group incorporates the shakuhachi and the fue (both bamboo flutes) and colorful dances. Taikoza has toured extensively in North America, Europe and Asia. In the United States, its members have performed in

some of the most prestigious halls including Carnegie Hall, Boston Symphony Hall, Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden and Hammerstein Ballroom. Taikoza’s television appearances include the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, The History Channel’s “History vs. Hollywood,” and ESPN’s “S.U.M.O.: The Battle of the Giants.” Taikoza’s music is featured on Nintendo’s Wii system video games “Red Steel 1 and 2.” The group’s return to St. Bonaventure’s Quick Center is greatly anticipated. At its first appearance in 2007, Taikoza played to soldout house and the audience shouted for encores, said Ludwig Brunner, director of programming at The Quick Center. “We are very glad to welcome back this powerful group for a return engagement,” said Brunner. “Taikoza is coming to Olean directly from its successful tour of Argentina and Brazil. If you missed them the last time or you want to experience them again, I recommend that you secure your tickets early.”

Taikoza was formed in New York City by Marco Lienhard, a Swiss native who was a principal member of the group Ondekoza for 17 years. While studying in Japan with Master Katsuya Yokoyama, Lienhard became a virtuoso soloist and has performed more than 6,000 concerts around the world. Subscription tickets for the entire 2011-12 performing arts season are still available. For subscriptions, single tickets and information, call The Quick Center for the Arts at (716) 375-2494. For this and all other performances, the museum galleries will open one hour before the start of each performance and remain open throughout the intermission. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Museum admission is free and open to the public year round. Visit the Quick Center at www.sbu.edu/quickcenter. This performance is supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts.

Crash Course at SBUWriter and Peace Activist Gives Talks During Two Day Visit

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Oct. 12, 2011 — It might be the shortest, yet most convincing lesson in the power of giving that two St. Bonaventure University freshmen and their classmates will ever learn. First-year students Jenna Smith of East Aurora and Lucia Searles of Vestal, N.Y., turned $1 donations into $250 scholarships, and in the process discovered that even very small donations can add up to make a real difference. This is the second year that incoming SBU freshmen arrived for Welcome Days activities at the start of the semester to find a dollar bill inside their information packets. Most students likely had the same thought: This is odd – what can a dollar get you anymore?They were about to find out. In a case of easy come, easy go, the freshmen were asked to give the money right back. Suddenly, all those dollar bills started adding up to real money, and excitement started

to build when students learned two members of their class would be randomly selected to split the $500 pot. The annual exercise is the brainchild of Alan Riddle, a St. Bonaventure graduate and assistant director of the university’s Bonaventure Fund, the primary vehicle by which SBU alumni support their alma mater. It’s the generosity of many alumni that enables the university to offer each incoming student a very competitive financial aid and scholarship package, said Riddle. “One dollar on its own doesn’t seem like much, but even that token donation grows into a meaningful amount when multiplied again and again,” he said. “It’s important for students to know that most of them are here, in part, because of the generosity of thousands of loyal alumni who love this place and want to make a St. Bonaventure education available to others.”

Riddle said he hopes this symbolic exercise sticks with the first-year students, and they choose to keep the cycle of giving churning when they graduate and move on. Searles, a graduate of Vestal High School and a sociology major at St. Bonaventure, says it’s a lesson she won’t soon forget. “It shows how big a difference even one dollar can make if we all pitch in,” she said. “St. Bonaventure has a great reputation as a school that gives back, and I think this will influence a lot of my classmates to continue that tradition.” Smith, an East Aurora High School graduate who is exploring her major options, agreed. “It didn’t take long for our dollar bills to turn into real money,” she said. In addition to providing aid to students, the Bonaventure Fund supports development opportunities for faculty and many other critical aspects of annual university operations.

Jim Forest at SBUWriter and Peace Activist Gives Talks During Two Day Visit

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Oct. 12, 2011 — Writer and peace activist Jim Forest, whose works include a critically acclaimed biography of Thomas Merton, will give several talks during a two-day visit to St. Bonaventure University next week. Forest, who serves as international secretary of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship and edits its journal and website, In Communion, will give three talks in the Thomas Merton Campus Ministry Center on campus and will visit two classes taught by Dr. Barry Gan, professor of philosophy at St. Bonaventure and director of its Center for Nonviolence. All talks are free and open to the public. The schedule, topics and locations include:4 p.m. Tuesday: “Dorothy Day: Saint and Troublemaker;” Campus Ministry Center, 7 p.m. Tuesday: “A Conversation with Jim Forest,” Campus Ministry Center, 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, classroom talk: Forest will discuss his experiences at odds with the U.S. peace movement following atrocities in post-war Vietnam; 201 Plassmann Hall, 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, classroom talk repeated; 303 Plassmann Hall, 4 p.m. Wednesday: “After the War Was Over: Seeing What You’d Rather Not See;” Campus Ministry Center “Jim Forest is something of an icon himself in the international peace and justice movements of the last four decades,” said Gan. “His commitment to nonviolence

has from time to time placed him in unpopular positions even within his own large and international camp of activists.” His visit is sponsored by the University Honors Program, The School of Arts and Sciences, The Center for Nonviolence, the Franciscan Center for Social Concern, and an anonymous donor. Forest served in the U.S. Navy as a young man, but his military service ended when he became a Roman Catholic and won an early discharge as a conscientious objector. He joined the staff of the nonviolent Catholic Worker community in Manhattan, working closely with its founder, Dorothy Day, a journalist, social activist and devout Catholic convert. Forest served for a time as managing editor of the journal Day edited, The Catholic Worker. It was in 1961, as a young Catholic Worker volunteer, that Forest met Thomas Merton, the celebrated Catholic writer and Trappist Monk who taught English at then-St. BonaventureCollege in 1940-41. Merton had submitted an essay to The Catholic Worker and Forest was asked to prepare it for publication. It was the start of long friendship. Merton later dedicated his book “Faith and Violence” to Forest, and Forest’s biography of Merton, “Living With Wisdom: A Life of Thomas Merton,” is considered a must read for those discovering Merton as one of the greatest

spiritual leaders of the past century. In the mid-1960s, a time of deepening U.S. military engagement in Vietnam, Forest helped form the Catholic Peace Fellowship, devoting most of his time to counseling conscientious objectors. In 1968, he was among a group of 14 people, mostly clergy, who broke into nine Milwaukee draft boards, then removed and burned some of the files at a prayer service in a public park. Forest later worked with Fellowship of Reconciliation, first as Vietnam Program coordinator and later as editor of Fellowship magazine. From 1977 through 1988, he was secretary general of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation, work that took him to the Netherlands, where he lives today with his wife, Nancy, a translator and writer. Since 1989, a year after his reception into the Orthodox Church, Forest has served in his present role as international secretary of the Orthodox Peace Fellowship. Forest has received the Peacemaker Award from Notre Dame University’s Institute for International Peace Studies, and the Marcellus Award from the Catholic Peace Fellowship. In addition to his biography of Merton and “All Is Grace: A Biography of Dorothy Day,” his books include “The Road to Emmaus: Pilgrimage as a Way of Life,” “Ladder of the Beatitudes,” “Praying with Icons,” and several children’s books.

Long’s most recent sseries is entitled “Expendible Soldiers”. What Expendable Soldiers means to the artist is authority giving disposable, meaninglessness to other human beings, thus having no value for human life. Tribes in African steal children and make them fight their war. These paintings were inspired from the movie “Invisible Children” and the struggle to stop Genocide in Arfrica. Long paints to raise awareness of the hard times that Africans face every day. His goal is to raise funds and station himself in Africa to help fight against this devastation. He began this series in 2006 and it has become an obsession. Long signs the front of each painting with the military symbol. For more information log onto Long’s website: www.nobbydesigns.com or for information on the cause see: www.invisiblechildren.com and www.worldvision.org.

ELLICOTTVILLE – Charlie Hebdon is seeking reelection to District 5 of the Cattaraugus County Legislature. Hebdon is running on the Democratic and Conservative party lines.

District 5 has three legislators and includes the Towns of Ashford, Ellicottville, Freedom, Farmersville, Franklinville and Machias.

Hebdon has served on the county legislature for two periods from 1984-1988 and from 2008 until the present.

“I am a retired ironworker and have a farm in the Town of Ellicottville. I am a proud member of the West Valley Volunteer Fire Department for 40-plus years serving as president,” Hebdon said.

Hebdon has been a strong advocate for fixing the county’s roads and bridges. He serves on the legislature’s Public Works

Committee and frequently visits construction sites to get a first-hand look at how the county tax dollars are spent.

“I’m not afraid to get my boots dirty or my feet wet to see what our county workers are doing,” he said.

Hebdon also serves on the County Operations and Public Safety Committees. He has toured the jail and gone on ride-alongs with sheriff’s deputies.

“I want to see what’s really happening with our tax dollars and to our employees not just sit in a room and listen to what bosses tell us,’ Hebdon said.

His platform includes;Trying to lower property taxes by living under the state’s two-percent tax cap.

Working with other governments to share services and reduce costs to the taxpayers

Cutting the number of legislators to 15 or fewer by

voting “No” to proposition No. 1 on the ballot.

Jobs, jobs and jobs. The county needs to streamline its economic development efforts to keep businesses in the county and to bring in new investment.

“My family was raised in the area and I have nine grandchildren. I care about the future of Cattaraugus County. I am the most experienced candidate and I stand on my past record,” Hebdon said.

Memberships include Ellicottville Sportsman’s Club, Springville Field and Stream, Ellicottville American Legion, Little Valley VFW, OB’s in Franklinville.

“I would appreciate your support on election day Nov. 8,” he said. Hebdon is campaigning with Joe Boberg of Freedom on the Democratic and Conservative Party lines.

Boberg Seeking ElectionJoseph F. Boberg is Seeking District 5 Legislature of Catt. County

Joseph F. Boberg is seeking election as a Cattaraugus County District #5 legislator in the November 8, 2011 election. Districts #5 includes the towns of Ashford, Farmerville, Freedom, Franklinville, Machias, and Ellicottville. Joseph is endorsed by the Democratic and Conservative parties. Boberg has been a life long resident of the Town of Freedom in Cattaraugus County where he was raised on the family’s dairy farm. After graduating from Pioneer Central High School in Yorkshire, where he was active in the FFA program and track and field, Boberg attended Alfred Technology College majoring in Civil Engineering. After college, he worked in construction, building light commercial and residential buildings. He then attended Houghton College for his BA in Business management Boberg gained employment with

E & M Engineering for six years as a land and engineering survey party chief, performing land surveys, construction stakeout and construction inspections. He also designed and drafted many projects including city watermain projects, sanitary and storm water systems and roadways. He has worked in the village of Limestone, Springville, Cuba, Allegany, and Franklinville in sewer system studies and design. He has been working in management at Dresser Rand in Olean for the past 25 years, starting in the plant engineering department, and also working in the maintenance department where he is responsible for the facility, mechanical and electrical departments. He is responsible for the daily operations of the maintenance department and working with the manufacturing supervision to ensure machine tools and equipment are ready for production use.

Boberg has been married to his wife, Cindy for 34 years with three children: two have grown to become teachers in the local area school districts, and a son who works at Suburban Adult Services. An advocate for people with disabilities, he will strive for services in this very important area. “I believe that Cattaraugus County can balance their budgets with strong emphasis on the following: reducing the county legislative body to fifteen legislators, shared services with local municipalities when feasibly possible, accountable fiscal budgets with proper staffing to reduce overtime cost, reviewing all roadways and bridges for safe travel with repairs being made in a timely manner,” Boberg said. “I also believe that we need to ensure that our natural resources are preserved for our children and their children.”

Inside Business TrackLocal LAX Shop in the National Spotlight

Ryan dROney

Baseball is known as America’s game, but take a look at the history of this nation, its lands and peoples, and one sees a game older than America itself: lacrosse. Lacrosse is the original American game, it is a sport that transcends itself pouring over into everyday life and forming the principles that one carries over into old age. When played, it is beautiful, rhythmic, and completely mesmerizing. One man is carrying the history and passion that is the essence of lacrosse into a business, Fierce Lacrosse. Ryan Jimerson is the owner of Fierce Lacrosse of the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. Jimerson’s mentality is one that his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father have passed down, “it’s a gift to play the game”. He has incorporated this idea that stretches back generations into his Lacrosse store, and by doing so is recognizing the elders who brought the game into non-native society, where it is becoming an extremely popular sport. Jimerson says, “A lot of the respect for the game has been lost, and that’s what I’m trying to bring back.” That respect is one Jimerson grew up with, and has helped him throughout his life. Speaking of the role lacrosse has played for Ryan, he states “It transcends a lot of things for our people, I have more of a spiritual side regarding lacrosse, my dad brought me up traditional and I’ve been with it all my life.” What makes Fierce Lacrosse different from the rest? For starters, less than a handful of lacrosse stores are one-hundred percent Native American owned and operated, Fierce Lacrosse is one of these very few. Fierce is also owned and run by lacrosse players; not many lacrosse businesses can say that, and for customers who play like Donald “Flip” White of Salamanca, he says that makes the drive worth it- “No doubt I would go to Fierce Lacrosse above all others,

because for me I know they are players, and they respect the game”. Jimerson takes that passion he has for playing and applies it to what gear and apparel he chooses to carry. “When it comes to stuff that we buy, it’s gonna be stuff that we use. We like to say, we’re players first and businessmen second. So when it comes to our gear, we try to get stuff that will make the person that gets it a better player, and I believe that if it makes them a better player, chances are they are gonna come back”. Fierce also has an edge in what they sell, carrying exclusive brands. They are “the only Boddam dealer in America”. Along with the big names in lacrosse equipment such as STX, Easton, Eagle, and Reebok, Fierce lacrosse also carries some brands that are sought after by serious players, these are the lacrosse specific companies and carrying their gear sets Fierce apart. Harrow, Boddam, Gait/Debeer, Pro-Joy, BSN, Vaughn, and Phiten are some of the gems Jimerson’s store carries. Along with carrying the hardcore lacrosse player’s gear, Jimerson sells with improving the customer’s game in mind. “I

like to find out what they are, a first year or seasoned player, or box or field lacrosse, and help them from there to become a better player.” He follows by stating, ““When people come here, they get good service, and put into the area that is going to help them the most. It’s that mentality of player’s first, and it’s about the game more than anything, it’s about giving back to the game, and that’s the message we want to give”. Ryan Jimerson understands that to get the respect for the game back, he and his business needs to be involved with the next generation of lacrosse players. On weekends, Jimerson is often off with his longtime girlfriend Claudia, an extremely accomplished lacrosse player herself (having played on numerous world cup teams), at youth tournaments. These allow Jimerson to coach young players and support them as well. One key Jimerson teaches for success is education, “Education is key, I try and tell kids that if you want to play this game we all love, you need an education and I try to help them

Up Close & PersonalGerry Musall: Thirty Years of Building Ellicottville

StORy and phOtOby JOhn thOmaS

Staff WRiteR

For most of us in our professional lives not too many people see the results of our work. But if your a builder, not only will people live with your work for years, your work is very much on public display. This creates a strong desire to do things right. For the past 30 years, Gerry Musall has been getting it right. He learned his trade from Pete Widger many years ago. “Pete used to say to me ‘you’re a smart lad, figure it out for yourself.’” Gerry appreciated that hands off approach, because it taught him how to think for himself. To this day he is grateful for the training he received from Pete. From 1983 to 1991 he partnered with Paul Timkey and Mike Halleran in the company HM+T, building various projects around town. Eventually the men decided to go their own ways. In 1991 Gerry and Mike Halleran built the Tannenbaum Lodge for Holiday Valley. In 1995 they built the Inn at Holiday Valley, and 1998 the Administration Building. Working on his own these days his company is officially known as Musall Panel Door and Cabinet. Although there are a number of other builders in the area, Gerry feels fortunate he’s been able to keep working. “There is an abundance of quality builders out there, I like to consider myself one of

them.” According to Gerry, Ellicottville has over the years been mostly spared the boom and bust cycles the plague many other resort communities. “We haven’t seen the bad times, but we didn’t see the good times.” Although the current downturn in the economy has many people worried, Gerry is fairly sanguine about the future, “right now everybody is comfortable, everybody has work right now.” Gerry believes in keeping a close relationship with the people he works with. For example he is currently building John Northrup’s Village Place project off Van Buren. The condos are just finishing their fist phase of construction. The two men have worked well together for over 25 years, as Gerry adds, “ he’s been more than fair to me.” As we talk we tour the model for the development, and he talks about the many skills a builder must have to work in the community, “you have to do it all, the framing, the carpentry (interior finish work) and the siding.” He points out that it’s not so much three different skill sets but, “three different frames of mind. For framing an 1/8 of an inch is OK, but not for cabinetry.” Looking around the interior of the stone and wood condos, I can see on display his precise cabinet work; the fit and finish on the cabinets would match the finest big city apartment. Working closely with John Northrup, the two men have kept the units affordable, while at the same time earning the complex a

gold accreditation for green construction. But for all the impressive buildings he has erected over the years, Gerry seems most proud of the personal relationships he had forged. “There’s only one person in 30 years (of building) that I can’t sit down now and have a beer with. I can’t with that one guy because he’s in jail,” he adds with a laugh. He seems to recognize that common streak of humanity that runs though all of us, “people work darned hard for their money, we’re all just trying to survive and make a living.” Finally, in looking back over the years he says, “I’ve worked for some good people.”

Inside Business TrackNightmare Hayrides Horrifying and Satisfying Visitors for Over 20 Years

by laine denniSOn

Most people in Ellicottville and the surrounding area know that once the leaves start turning and pumpkins start growing, a long-awaited attraction will soon be open for business. Nightmare Hayrides, located on Sommerville Valley Road, has been both horrifying and satisfying visitors for over twenty years. A family-oriented attraction, all ages are welcome to come and enjoy the Halloween season at Nightmare Hayrides in Ellicottville, NY. John Kent and his wife Karen know that once their Rodeo season is over each year in July, it is time to begin preparing for a new season of frights and scares. The couple first started Nightmare Hayrides together twenty-one years ago on a whim. He and his wife were working at the rodeo, and were encouraged by the people they worked with to start an event during the fall season after the rodeo was over. They decided that it was something they wanted to do and employed the help of their 2 kids, who are now all grown, and 70-plus hired seasonal helpers. Twenty-one years later, the couple is still startling thousands of visitors each Halloween season with no signs of stopping any time in the near future. John Kent begins preparing for the Halloween season by visiting a major Halloween expedition in Roger’s Park in Chicago, Illinois. It is there that John fi nds the newest and scariest ideas to put into play upon his return to Ellicottville. The vendors give John ideas for the creation of new costumes and set-up of the “dark-side of the hayride.” The dark-

side includes tunnels, caves, claustrophobic walls, and the haunted barn; all of which are littered with the Kent’s so-called helpers. The “helpers,” are trained specifically for one simple task: to scare the living-daylight out of each and every visitor who dares attempt the voyage through the haunted farmlands. Kent says the most difficult aspect of creating the nightmare hayrides year after year is “coming up with new ideas…something fresh and new all the time. It’s really important to plan ahead in our business especially because the newer the idea, the more expensive they tend to be.” For those that have yet to experience Nightmare Hayrides, the adventure begins with a 25-minute tractor drawn hayride leading riders down an eerie narrow path with creatures that are sure to frighten all who enter. After the hayride, visitors then exit into a one-acre maze that is “haunted from the spirits past.” The spirits are known to

shock visitors by jumping into plain view from out of nowhere. Upon completion of the maze, guests will slowly make their way through the dark-side vortex tunnel, surely to frighten the socks right off all that pass through. If guests can find their way and make it through the tantalizing voyage in one-piece, the friendly staff at the cook shack will welcome them back from their frightening adventure. The cook shack offers plenty of snacks that include hot dogs, hamburgers, pretzels homemade soup and nachos. Nightmare Hayrides is located at 6319 Sommerville Valley Rd, Ellicottville, NY 14731. It runs every Friday through Sunday in October, from 7:30pm to 9:30pm. Admission is $15.00 each or with a group of 25 or more $14.00 each if one person pays. Children under five years of age are free to enjoy the hayrides at no cost. For more information visit www.nightmarehayride.com for call 716-699-4839.

in women was ranked first by incidence and melanoma was ranked sixth by incidence, according to the Cattaraugus County Health Department’s Community Health Assessment for 2005-2010. The report ranked breast cancer second to lung cancer in cancer-mortality rates. There are several ways to show your support and get involved in the fight against this horrible disease. On Sunday, October 16, 2011, the “Sixth Annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” walk will be held at Jamestown Community College on the Jamestown, NY campus. The event is a 5K Walk (just over three miles) and walker registration will begin at 8:30am. “It’s a walk that helps us to celebrate those who are surviving breast cancer,” says Mike Porpiglia, Community Executive for the American Cancer Society, “and to bring awareness to the community that early detection with this disease is vital to making it a treatable case.” The walk itself will begin at 10am with a DJ playing music throughout the day. All are welcome to attend and be a part of the celebration. There is no registration fee or minimum amount to donate, however, the walk raises much needed funds to help the American Cancer Society continue the fight against Breast Cancer by providing both educational services to raise public awareness as well as many other services to current patients. “We offer several services to

breast cancer patients as well,” Porpiglia continues, “We have a grooming program that provides patients with free wigs. We show them how to apply them as well as how to style them. Additionally, we offer a make-up program that provides them with a free make-up kit valued at about $200.00 as well as instruction on how to apply the make up while their skin is a bit different during treatment.” Hundreds of local breast cancer survivors, volunteers, businesses and community members will unite to fight breast cancer and save lives at this event. It is the area’s largest breast cancer awareness event and is a noncompetitive, inspirational walk that raises awareness and funds to fight breast cancer and provide hope to all people facing the disease. Jamestown’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is one of more than 200 walks being held across the country this year. Last year the event hosted 48 teams of walkers with over 700 participants. The walk generated over $70,000 in funds and is looking to go even higher this year. “Community members of all ages are welcome to get involved,” Porpiglia says, “Whether you are part of a team or walking as an individual you are creating more birthdays for breast cancer survivors and raising awareness in your own community.” For more information or to participate in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org. The Road House Bar in Jamestown, NY will host the first annual “Save the Boobies Bar Crawl,” on Saturday October 15th beginning at 7:00pm and

running through Sunday the 16th at 2:00am. The event will start and end at The Road House Bar at a cost of a $10.00 donation to the cause. The fee will set up participants with a wristband for the event, as well as food and drink specials throughout the bar crawl. Basket raffle and door prize donations are gladly being accepted. Anyone wishing to donate may call 716-487-0197. Nationally, there are many organizations dedicated yearlong to breast cancer awareness, support and education: the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Keep A Breast Foundation and Susan G. Komen for a Cure are just a few. The “National Breast Cancer Foundation is committed to spreading knowledge and fostering hope in the fight against breast cancer,” according to its website. They fund “free mammograms for women who would otherwise be unable to afford them and support research programs in leading facilities across the country.” To learn more about NBCF, visit www.nbcf.org. Keep A Breast Foundation’s “mission is to help eradicate breast cancer by exposing young people to the methods of protection, early detection and support,” according to its website. It accomplishes this exposure through art events, educational programs and fundraising efforts. To learn more about KAB, visit www.keep-a-breast.org. Susan G. Komen for a Cure works “to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all (battling breast cancer) and energize science to find the cures,” according to its website. The Susan G. Komen for a Cure website is ww5.komen.org.

the fund provided scholarships totaling $1-million. “These are all donations. Every penny that goes to the scholarship fund goes to the actual fund. There are no administrative costs associated with it, which is why I chose that as opposed to any other charity.” The donation will be done on Sunday. It is expected that Mr. Dan Kremer of Lockport will accept the donation. Marine Sergeant Daniel J. Kremer is 100 percent permanently disabled as a result of his service, according to information provided by the Freedom Alliance. His children are Kira and Daniel Kremer Jr. Sergeant Kremer was stationed

In spite of his own injuries, Sergeant Kremer was one a handful of Marines who searched through the remains of the destroyed barracks to seek out any survivors. He was awarded a Purple Heart. His daughter, Kira Kremer, graduated from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in 2009 with a degree in Biology with a Pre-Med focus. Kira graduated from SUNY Upstate Medical University in 2011 with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Daniel Kremer Jr. is a junior majoring in Psychology at the State University of New York at Albany.

Hours for the gun show are Saturday from 9-4 and Sunday from 9-3. The raffle drawing will be at 3 p.m. on Sunday. Children will be able to use the rifle ranges, but they must be supervised by someone over the age of 16. Schappacher says, “The idea is that I want to get young people in, and get the involved in our shooting sport.” The Olean Rod and Gun Club is quite impressive. “We have a 600-yard rifle range, two trap and skeet fields, an outdoor pistol and an indoor pistol range, and forty one acres of archery range. We like people to take advantage of it, and I’d like the kids to come up and take advantage of the shooting and the archery.” The club is located on Wayman Branch Road, which is off Steam Valley Road east of Olean. “It’s basically out and away from everything.”

It empowers the community, you can see it, and because now they don’t have to go long distances to get the stuff they need to play, its right here”.

describes as “classy, just very classy, when I wear it I feel like I’m wearing something that represents a good label”, can be seen on the backs of men and women as far as Hawaii and Washington state. As Jimerson expands his business and continues his commitment to the respect and history of the game, Fierce Lacrosse will only gather more national attention and customers who return for the quality service and passion for America’s original sport.

Tips for a Better Night Sleep

Healthwise

by lilian Dirito, c.n.h.P.WellneSS conSultant

Steve Horne, Master Herbalist and President of Tree of Light Institute, wrote a guideline of 12 tips for a better sleep that has personally helped me and I would like to share with you. Horne gets you started by giving you a dozen tips for getting a better night’s sleep. Pick one or two to work on at a time and see if they make a positive difference in your sleep patterns. I often find that most people fall on the category of tips 9 through 12; however the rest of them are great reminders to help your body to quite down. Here is his guideline:Sleep Tip #1: Schedule Sleep: Your body has an internal clock that helps engage periods of sleep and wakefulness. If you can get on a schedule that allows you to get to bed at roughly the same time each night and wake up at the same time each morning, it will ease both falling asleep and walking up.Sleep Tip #2: In Chinese medicine, it is believed that certain meridians (or energy flows) are active at certain times of the day. According to this theory, the gall bladder and liver meridians are active from around 11pm to 1 am and 1am to 3am respectively. This is the peak time for your body to detoxify if you are asleep by 11pm. If you are not asleep when your gallbladder meridian becomes

active, you may get a surge of nervous energy that inhibits sleep. This will be followed by feeling sluggish and tired the next morning.Sleep Tip # 3: Avoid Late Night Stimulation: Avoid activities that get your adrenals pumping. This includes watching exciting TV shows or movies, exercising before bed and listening to loud stimulating music. Instead, try to listen to relaxing music, read uplifting books or share a massage with your partner.Sleep Tip # 4: Create a Relaxing Atmosphere: Remove TVs, computers, cell phones and other distractions from your sleep area and keep your bedroom uncluttered and free of electric devises. You can also support your body with herbal combinations like Herbal Sleep or Kava Kava, especially if you have muscle tension.Sleep Tip #5: Don’t eat late: It is hard for your body to fall asleep when it is digesting a heavy meal, so try to eat dinner at least two hours, but preferably four before bed time. Food Enzymes with your meal may help digestion as well.Sleep tip #6: Make your sleep area dark to help your body to convert a neurotransmitter called serotonin into melatonin. Melatonin puts you to sleep. So, make your bedroom as dark as possible. You can also support your body with the supplement 5-HTP Power.Sleep Tip#7: Breathe deeply. Oxygen is very important to sound sleep. Breathe deeply as you lie in bed and focus on relaxing your body, starting with your toes and working your way up to your head. Focus your mind on your breathing and mentally saying positive statements like “am relaxed” or “all is well”. GABA Plus or Stress-J are great supplements to help quite the mind if you need extra support.Sleep Tip#8: Quite your mind. Get a pad of paper and write down your to-do list for the next day. This will help to “get it off your mind”. I find this tip very

helpful myself.Sleep Tip #9: Reduce your stress level during the day to help you sleep better at night. If you are tired during the day, but have poor quality of sleep at night, you may be suffering from adrenal exhaustion. This includes fatigue, mental confusion and emotional sensitivity during the day, followed by restless sleep. Two of the best remedies for this is Nervous Fatigue Formula TCM and Adrenal Support.Sleep Tip #10: Balance your Blood Sugar. If you wake up in the middle of the night thinking about your problems and unable to go back to sleep, this can be a sign of blood sugar problems. What is happening is that your blood sugar is dropping too low in the middle of the night and your adrenal glands are firing off stress hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) to elevate your blood sugar. Avoiding sugar, white flour products, alcohol and caffeine will help. Licorice Root and Super Algae good supplements for additional support.Sleep Tip # 11: Stay Hydrated. Proper hydration calms the brain and promotes better sleep. Try drinking at least ½ ounce of pure water per pound of body weight per day. In other words, two quarts (64 ounces) is the right amount of water for a 128 pound person.Sleep Tip # 12: Be Physically Active. Take a walk, dance, swim, ride a bike, lift weights or otherwise engage your muscles 15-20 min per day to improve your sleep.

Memorials took over cleaning some of the more damaged markers and righting some of the toppled headstones. The most damaged stones were first pressure washed and then blasted with a very fine abrasive manufactured by Dupont. Mr Crandall describes the abrasive as “as fine as talcum powder, but still hard.” Using this technique he says, “we are able to remove stains and residue that have

been there for over one hundred years.” When it came to righting the markers that had fallen over, the work proved a bit more challenging. Some of the headstones were in several pieces. They were fitted back together again like a jig saw puzzle and the pieces glued together using Mastic-barre-pack, a masonry cement used for historic preservation. On the marble markers, they used a white marble mortar, which blends best with the stone. Looking around the cemetery, Mr. Crandall observed. “it

appears that a number of years ago some work had been done (to restore the cemetery).” He pointed out some of the signs that revealed the previous work. In general he said the cemetery “is in pretty good shape.” He added that he was impressed by the number and interest of the volunteers who cleaned the headstones. He noted that many of them showed up more than once to continue the cleaning. “When you drive by you can really see the difference from what it was. This (cemetery) will be an asset on Jefferson Street the community can be proud of.”

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

Good luck!

Architectural Digest of EllicottvilleA Home for the Bears

Pictured: (Top to bottom, Clockwise) Exterior: As home here as it would be in the mountains of Colorado or Tahoe, the house is energy star rated, and features full security, and air condi-tioning. Bear: One of the many bear related objects found throughout the house. Deck: The wide long deck looks out to the view of a farm and the mountains. Living: The centerpiece of the living room is the river rock chimney for the gas burning fireplace. It rises a full 30 feet to the cathedral ceiling. Dining: Afternoon sunlight floods the dining area in the great room. Diners will have a view of the mountains. Kitchen: In the kitchen the oak cabinets are given a sophisticated touch by the black marble counter tops and onyx sink.

Standing on the deck of the house at 6686 Maples, it almost feels like you are standing on a mountaintop. The view stretches out across the valley and over to a farm that is about as picturesque as they come. Behind the farm the woods glow with autumnal color, and to the left I can see both the ski areas. If you lived here, you’d never leave the deck. The house is just as spectacular as the view. Looking around the house I see bears everywhere: bears in the kitchen, bears in the living room, bears in the bedrooms,

bears in the family room - bear statues, and bear tapestries. Apparently these people like bears. The cathedral ceiling in the great room looms high overhead. The chimney of the river rock gas fireplace rises a full 30 feet to meet the ceiling. The great room features beautiful wood floors in the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Here on the main floor is the master bedroom with a huge bath that features a whirlpool tub and walk in tiled shower. Off the kitchen is the laundry room, and access to the oversized two-car garage with eight-foot tall doors. Downstairs is a large family room with a fireplace, wet bar, and walk out patio. There is

a large bedroom with its own bath that could serve as a second master. There are two other bedrooms and another full bath on this floor as well. An energy star home; ski season won’t cost you a fortune in heat. It’s also fully air conditioned, and has a security system. The custom furnishings are included right down to the bears, so you can move right in, and the eight-acre lot assures both your privacy and the view. Ski season is just around the corner and Holiday Valley and HoliMont are only a few miles away. For more information about this home contact Joany K.
