Come one, come all! Come with family and come with friends to celebrate and welcome the autumn season with the Seneca Salamanca Chamber of Commerce. There is something for everyone to do this weekend, Sept. 30-Oct. 2, in Jefferson Street Park in Salamanca at the 34th
Annual Falling Leaves Festival. The festival, organized by the chamber of commerce with lots of help from the community, runs from 5-9 p.m. on Friday; 8 a.m.-9 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. New this year and one of the festival’s centerpieces is the Seneca Culture and Heritage exhibit by the Native Roots Artist Guild. The Native Roots Artist Guild is a not-for-profit community that
supports Haudenosaunee artists and promotes awareness and appreciation of their artistry. The exhibit at this year’s festival will feature original and stunning interpretations of traditional pottery, paintings, hand-carvings and beadwork. “We are proud to have the Native Roots Artist Guild at this year’s Falling Leaves Festival. In addition to the Guild, there will be Seneca storytellers,
dancers, cultural demonstrations, Seneca food and much more. Everyone who comes out will certainly enjoy their experience,” said Jenny Ingrao, manager of member services and events for the chamber. “We are in a community full of rich culture and heritage and we can’t wait to share its hidden treasures.”
The Falling Leaves Festival, organized by the Salamanca Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the community, runs from 5-9 p.m. this Friday; 8 a.m.-9 p.m. on Saturday; and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. New this year is the Seneca Culture and Heritage exhibit by the Native Roots Artist Guild. Carson Waterman, talented artist and member of the Native Roots Artist Guild working on his most recent painting. This painting focuses on the symbolism of the Six Nations of the Iroquois also called the Haudenosaunee.

Preparations for the snowy season are well underway at Holiday Valley Ski Resort.
Some of the improvements are easily seen. One that is not so visible is still of vital importance to the operations of Holiday Valley:
Probably the most exciting thing from a ski standpoint is the new quad chair on the SnowPine slope. The plan is to complete the work by late October or early November. The new quad chairlift will replace the existing SnowPine double chairlift and will almost double the capacity of the lift.
by NIchOLAS PIrcIOWPIg, 95.7 FM
HoliMont is making use of GPS technology to keep tabs on the snow. HoliMont installed a comprehensive
GPS system last year, complete with a base station and repeaters to improve the electronic coverage. HoliMont General Manager Dave Riley explains
Next summer, HoliMont will start work on installing a new high-speed detachable chairlift, to replace the exhibition chair and has the capacity to go to the top of the mountain twice as fast as you normally would. It’s also a much safer load.

Continuing with the request by John Northrup to convert two of the former wash bays at the old car wash into offices, the Town Planning Board held a public hearing to consider the request. It was pointed out at the last board meeting that changing the use of the building from a car wash into offices constitutes a change of use of the building and required Monday’s public hearing. There were no members of the public present, so the meeting moved along rather quickly. The board considered the short form stating all the conditions that must be considered before approving the project. During discussions one of the board members asked Mr. Northrup if there was going to be anything between the parking area and the building adding, “considering what’s been going on in Buffalo.” Referring to recent incidents where people have accidentally crashed their cars into businesses. This elicited a laugh from the board, to which Mr. Northrup quipped, “in previous years the cars
went through it (the car wash), I hope they won’t keep it up!” The board turned to the short form of environmental considerations and read down it. The read down the form included such items as: ground water disruption or contamination, impacts on any historic site, and aesthetic considerations. There did not seem to be any environmental problems, so the board made a motion to make a negative declaration regarding
environmental impact. In English this meant the board did not find any environmental problems with the plan. The motion passed, and the public hearing was brought to a close. The board then went on to consider a minor subdivision on Kuhn Road. The applicant was seeking permission to divide up a previously existing subdivision into smaller lots.
Car Wash exterior: The Town Planning Board approved John Northrups application to convert tow of the old car wash bays into office space. The platform for the old vacuum cleaners and light poll will be removed.

resurface the ski slopes each night using a hydraulic tiller that grinds the top layer of snow and lays in down as a soft corduroy surface. The machines also have a hydraulic blade on the front, which can be used to smooth the snow surface or to add moguls or shapes. Holiday Valley, in Western New York State is a leading eastern North American four-season resort. Winter facilities include 58 slopes and 13 lifts that are spread over four distinct faces. Holiday Valley offers significant summertime activities as well including an 18-hole golf course, an aerial adventure park, mountain biking and hiking trails and a three-pool complex. Comfortable lodging is available on the slopes / golf course and in nearby Ellicottville, a charming village with festivals, shopping, dining and night life. The truly unique Griffis sculpture park is located just north of the resort and a large Amish settlement is a short drive away.
Holiday Valley Invests $5. 3HV is Planning on Expanding and Improving this Winter Season
Holiday Valley has reinvested $5.3 million to expand and improve winter operations for the 2011-12 season. Major projects included construction of the Sky High Mountain Coaster, a new quad chairlift, snowmaking upgrades and two new grooming machines. The $1.5 million Mountain Coaster was built in the Tannenbaum area of the resort and is open during winter and summer seasons. The coaster is similar to a roller coaster with cars that ride on a track. One or two riders per car are pulled up the slope and then it makes a thrilling descent zigzagging and spiraling down through the woods. Riders can accelerate or decelerate using handles on the sides of the car. The Holiday Valley Mountain Crew constructed a quad chairlift to replace the existing SnowPine double chairlift. This new lift almost doubled the capacity of the lift and enhances the ski-in, ski-out access to the SnowPine
Village condominiums. Bear Cub, a beginner trail that was constructed for the 2010-11 season is serviced by this lift and was outfitted with snowmaking pipeline and hydrants for the 2011-12 season. The lower section of Bear Cub was extended for easier access to the base of the SnowPine lift. An automated snowmaking system was installed on the mile-long Mardi Gras slope. Weather stations on the upper and lower slope will monitor temperature, humidity, wind direction and speed and direct a computer to turn the snowguns on or off, or increase or decrease the air and water flow. The goal of automation is to increase efficiency and energy savings while providing the best possible manmade snow. Holiday Valley purchased two new grooming tractors to bring the newest technology in grooming to Holiday Valley’s slopes and trails. Holiday Valley’s fleet of seven groomers

Ah – October in Ellicottville – does it get any better? This all-too-brief season is my favorite, and I’ll bet you a free trip on the “Nightmare Hayride” I’m not alone. And then there’s the shopping… Getting ready for tent and sidewalk sales takes more than just a little preparation, and our hard-working merchants have been getting ready over the last few weeks. End result? Most of your favorite stores in town have their bargain racks ready to go – and don’t you just love bargains? Clothing, ski equipment, decorative knick-knacks, jewelry, furniture, artwork – it’s
all got to go, folks. And go it will next weekend, so why not get a jump on the competition and start shopping THIS weekend? Oh, sure – you can wait until the big ski tent’s all set up next weekend, but why wait for a good buy on a new pair of skis? I say go now, and be aggressive! Then, come Fall Festival weekend, you can skip the frantic frenzy and relax in knowing you scooped everyone on the “really BIG deals.” So dear readers, get out your check books and credit cards and get crackin’! Money may not buy happiness, but shopping in Ellicottville surely will! ...JZ

History of Rock CityHistorical Society’s October 13th Meeting will be at 7:30 PM
The topic for the Ellicottville Historical Society’s October meeting will be the History of Rock City. Located 5 miles south of Olean, Rock City has been a tourist attraction since 1890. It has the worlds’ largest exposure of quartz conglomerate rock. Dale and Cindy Smith, Park Ranger and owner of Rock City will be speaking at 7:30, October 13th, at the Ellicottville Memorial Library on Maples Road in Ellicottville. This event is free to the public and refreshments will be served. Please call Cathy Lacy at 945- 5080 for more information.
State Sheriff’s Week October 2-6, 2011 will be the 23rd Year it has Taken Place
In conjunction with the celebration, the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office invites the public to tour the Sheriff’s Office in Little Valley on Wednesday, October 5, 2011 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Visitors will have a chance to tour the office, as well as, have the chance to ask questions of staff. Sheriff Timothy S. Whitcomb says, “This is a great opportunity for the public to come and see just what the Office of Sheriff is all about. There are so many programs and functions that this office offers that the public should be aware of. We have an outstanding organization here in Cattaraugus County with a long history. I am very proud of the deputies, corrections officers, dispatchers and support staff that make this organization function, and would like to share that pride with the general public.”
The Cattaraugus County Legislature has issued a proclamation stating that “It is fitting to celebrate the historical contributions of the Office of Sheriff, and the significant role which the sheriffs play in our modern criminal justice system.” The proclamation noted the office is “unique in the community” and its duties go far beyond the traditional role of “Keeper of the Peace”, extending into many facets of public service, including maintaining the county jail, providing security in our courts, dispatching emergency services, and serving and executing civil process for our courts. The Office of Cattaraugus County Sheriff dates back to March of 1817. The first three sheriffs, Israel Curtis, Benjamin Chamberlain and Jacob Downing, were appointed. In 1822, Ebenezer Lockwood of
Olean was chosen by voters as the first elected sheriff. A building to be used as a court house and jail was erected in 1820 on the public square in Ellicottville. The lower story was used as a jail and the second story as the court room or court house. In 1868 the court house with the combined jail and sheriff’s residence behind it was built in Little Valley after the county seat was moved there from Ellicottville. After a new jail was built in 1880, this building was used in various ways until the 1960s. The County center building and a new jail were constructed in 1966. The Sheriff’s residence wasn’t torn down until 1991. In 1992, a new addition was made to the jail. At the open house, there will be several photos of these buildings and also some of the previous sheriffs of Cattaraugus County.

October 2-6, 2011 will be the 23rd Year it has Taken PlaceOlean was chosen by voters as the first elected sheriff. A building to be used as a court house and jail was erected in 1820 on the public square in Ellicottville. The lower story was used as a jail and the second story as the court room or court house. In 1868 the court house with the combined jail and sheriff’s residence behind it was built in Little Valley after the county seat was moved there from Ellicottville. After a new jail was built in 1880, this building was used in various ways until the 1960s. The County center building and a new jail were constructed in 1966. The Sheriff’s residence wasn’t torn down until 1991. In 1992, a new addition was made to the jail. At the open house, there will be several photos of these buildings and also some of the previous sheriffs of Cattaraugus County.
County Elections ApproachVickman, Weller and Felton Seek Legislature Seats in District 5
Donna Vickman (R,I-Farmersville), William “Bill” Weller (R,C,I-Franklinville) and Gary Felton (R,I-Machias) have announced that they are candidates in the November 2011 election for Cattaraugus County Legislature District 5, representing the Towns of Franklinville, Machias, Farmersville, Ashford, Ellicottville and Freedom. Donna Vickman is a lifelong resident of Cattaraugus County, and with her late husband Bob raised their family in Farmersville Station. She graduated from Delevan-Machias Central School in 1961. Donna spent her adult life caring for patients at the Machias Nursing Home as a Licensed Practical Nurse. Donna is currently serving in her first term as a member of the Cattaraugus County Legislature; she is the Chair of the Senior Services Committee and is actively involved with the Pines Nursing Home and the Department of the Aging. Donna enjoys spending her
days with her family, including her great-grandchildren and helping people of the County in her role as a Legislator. Another lifelong resident of Cattaraugus County, Gary Felton has resided in Machias since his graduation from Pioneer Central School. Gary worked for Arcade Lumber for 27 years and is currently employed by Blue Seal Feeds in Arcade. Gary has previously served on the Cattaraugus County Legislature and as a Councilman in the Town of Machias. He is also an active member of the First Christian Church of Machias. Gary is the proud father of Krista, son-in-law Todd, and enjoys spending time with his three grandchildren. Bill Weller is a lifelong resident of Cattaraugus County and Franklinville, where he and his wife Nancy raised their three children. Bill was elected Franklinville Town Highway Superintendent in 1978 and continues to serve the Town in that position.
Prior to becoming Highway Superintendent, Bill was employed by the Operating Engineers as a mechanic. Bill Weller has been an active member of the community, and he continues to be on the go as a guitar player and backup singer for several old-time country bands. Donna Vickman, Bill Weller and Gary Felton are committed to ensuring the efficient operation of, and care for patients at, the Pines Nursing Home in Machias, reducing the number of legislators on the County Legislature and maintaining conservative fiscal policies that work toward economic development, job opportunities and tax reduction. Further, each is keenly aware of the financial and economic difficulties facing our taxpayers who rely on the deliverance of quality services by County government but can no longer afford the taxes to support those services.

Professors Secure GrantGrant from PricewaterhouseCoopers Supports New Career at SBU
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Sept. 23, 2011 — A grant from the global professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers is supporting a new career mentoring program designed to recruit and retain minority accounting students in St. Bonaventure University’s School of Business. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) representatives were on campus recently for a presentation to all accounting majors on career readiness strategies, and to recognize three freshmen who have been chosen as the program’s inaugural participants: Thomas Green of Rochester, Dominic Greene of the Bronx, and Michael Marin of East Elmhurst, N.Y. The PwC grant was awarded to Dr. Susan Anders, professor of accounting at St. Bonaventure and chair of its Accounting Department, and Dr. Carol M. Fischer, professor of accounting and associate dean of business, to support their Accounting Scholars Program. The PricewaterhouseCoopers INQuiries grant is part of
a larger effort by PwC to support diversity initiatives in accounting programs, added Fischer. “The program is designed to enhance recruitment and retention of minority students,” said Anders. “This entails increasing minority applicants to the accounting program and providing support services to enable students to achieve success, academically and socially, at St. Bonaventure.” The goal is to accept into the program each academic year three or four racial minority students who meet certain admission criteria and are deemed capable of completing St. Bonaventure’s New York State registered five-year accounting program. That program, to which students apply in their junior year, enables students to earn their bachelor of business administration and master of business administration degrees in five years, as well as qualify to become certified public accountants. In addition to a financial
scholarship, students in the new Accounting Scholars Program: are accepted into the Living/Learning Business Community residence halls, where they can more easily establish relationships with other business majors; participate in new career-ready programs through the University’s Career and Professional Readiness Center, with special programming designed to provide students with support services and exposure to business culture; are eligible for additional scholarship funds; are provided access to alumni mentors, particularly those who work with PricewaterhouseCoopers. The new scholarship program was not in place until after housing assignments for this semester were completed, so only one of the three recipients is in a Business Community residence hall. The other two, however, are in Leadership & Service learning communities, which “is also an excellent match for a business student at a Franciscan university,” said Fischer.
Brian McAllister, School of Business dean; accounting professor Dr. Susan Anders; ac-counting professor and associate dean of business Dr. Carol Fischer; Keith Stolzenburg, partner in the PwC’s Buffalo office; SBU students and program participants Dominic Greene, Michael Marin and Thomas Green; Sarah Leiby, PwC campus recruiter in Cleveland, Ohio; and Mark Bruno, PwC recruiting manager in Buffalo.

Alumnus Makes DonationOne-Time Scholarship Awarded to Southwestern High School Grad
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Sept. 23, 2011 — St. Bonaventure University alumnus Thomas Marra, ’80, and his wife, Michelle, have made a donation to the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to fund a one-time scholarship for a Southwestern High School graduate who plans to attend St. Bonaventure University. “We wanted to show our support for both Southwestern High School and St. Bonaventure, so this gift will highlight the commitment to excellence of both institutions,” said Marra, a native of Jamestown, N.Y., and alumnus of Southwestern. Marra is the president and CEO of Symetra Financial
Corporation in Bellevue, Wash. “The Southwestern High School family is very grateful to Tom and Michelle for this gift, and we are very happy it will help one of our students to attend such a fine institution as St. Bonaventure,” said Michael Cipolla, principal of Southwestern High School. Cipollo is also a 1999, 2003, and 2005 graduate of St. Bonaventure. The $2,500 scholarship will be awarded by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation to a member of the Southwestern Class of 2012 who plans to enroll at St. Bonaventure in the fall of 2012. Prospective applicants interested in learning
more about the scholarship can contact the Southwestern Central School Guidance Office or the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation office at 418 Spring St., Jamestown, N.Y. 14701; by calling 716 661-3394; or sending an email to [email protected]. “Tom and Michelle have done so much to support St. Bonaventure, and this most recent gift is yet another example of their generosity and commitment to student success,” said Sr. Margaret Carney, O.S.F., president of the University. “We will be delighted to welcome the Marra Scholar to our campus next fall.”

SBU Visits CorningMarketing Class Visits Corning to Get an Insider’s Perspective
ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Led by Dr. Michael Russell, students from the Event and Sponsorship Marketing class at St. Bonaventure University visited Corning to get an insider’s perspective on large-scale events and sponsorships. In addition to visiting the Corning Museum of Glass last Friday, 26 St. Bonaventure University students attended a seminar hosted by SBU alumnus and Trustee Dan Collins, ’73, Division Vice President of Corporate Communications for Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW). Lisa Burns, ’92, manager of Corporate Communications at Corning organized the seminar, which was led by Laurie Haduck, manager of Corporate Events and Chris Lebaron, manager of Events and Projects. Students were provided
insights into how Corning prepares for the largest trade show in the world, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. In addition to learning about event management, students were also exposed to the strategic decision making that leads to creating a successful event. Anderson Conte, senior marketing major, said she enjoyed getting a “behind the scenes” perspective on how each project is accomplished. “Consumers only see the finished product and it was interesting to see, as students and potential consumers, how many different resources are utilized to reach each goal.” The focus of the presentation at Corning Incorporated was centered around their relatively new product, Gorilla® Glass. This product is known for its exceptional toughness and
beauty and has created a buzz in the marketplace. It is used in a wide range of well-known products, including smart phones, notebooks, slates and tablets, flat screen televisions and appliances. Corning has forecasted that its Gorilla® Glass sales could reach $800 million by the end of the year. Taught by Dr. Michael Russell, Event and Sponsorship Marketing is a marketing class at St. Bonaventure University where students get the opportunity while working in teams, to develop an event while obtaining sponsorships for it. Dr. Carol Wittmeyer, who also attended the seminar, is a professor in the Department of Management Sciences at St. Bonaventure University. She incorporated information from the student’s trip into the senior capstone course, which was very well received by students.
Up Close & PersonalUB Students Study Tourism: Ellicottville Chamber Aids in Teaching
by LAINE DENNISONVILLAgEr STAFF
Most of you may already know Brian McFadden, Executive Director of the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, honestly enjoys getting people involved in everything that Ellicottville has to offer. One thing you might not know is, he has taken part in a class Professor Sam Cole teaches at the University of Buffalo titled, The Tourism Studio: Building on Success: Next Steps for Ellicottville. This class, which has been offered at the University for six years, allows the students to get involved in the Ellicottville community. Cole chose Ellicottville because he believes it is “the most successful tourist destination in Western New York.” Professor Cole approached Brian McFadden concerning the possibility of using Ellicottville in a fall studio at UB and he jumped at it. The students previously did studies on surrounding areas including a major project they did on Route 16 and the surrounding towns and a nationally recognized project “An Analysis of Recreational Seasonal homes in Cattaraugus County”. These studies in the past have provided information about potential visitor attractions and possibly even new local activities and the impact of how those local festivals affect the community. McFadden enjoys working with the students and drives to the classroom in Buffalo several times during the semester to give presentations on what he and the Chamber are trying to accomplish in terms of destination branding and development in Ellicottville. He not only talks about Ellicottville but the relationship between the Salamanca Casino and other area attractions to the entire region. He teaches the students how to understand
tourism assets and how to deliver the message to the consumer. Festival and event planning is also an integral part of the presentations. Brian is also assisting Dr. Michael Russell at St Bonaventure with a fall course on festival development. This course requires the students to not only come up with a festival idea, but they must decide who their audience is, how much it will cost, how they market it and then at the end, actually put the festival on in the Olean Allegany area. The students at UB come from a variety of different program backgrounds; each of them brings something unique to the class curriculum. Some students focus on the day-to-day management of the GIS system while others may be interested in the historic development of the area. No matter which aspect they focus on, it gives them an opportunity “to work together, develop and share ideas” and to “make mistakes now so they won’t make them when they join the real world.” The Tourism Studio: “Building on Success: Next Steps for Ellicottville,”
allows the students to survey both visitors and residents of Ellicottville and learn what they like and what they don’t like. They learn what the Ellicottville community would like to see for the future of Ellicottville and how they think our ski resort will affect the future of the town. Will Ellicottville just be a ski resort town? Or will it grow and thrive as a preferred four season resort destination. After 12 weeks of research, fact finding and compiling the results of their surveys, the students then will present their findings to the faculty of UB and then at a town hall meeting in Ellicottville. This gives the students a chance to be challenged by the townspeople and what their opinion may be about the future of Ellicottville. It provides the students with a better understanding about tourism and economic development. It also allows them to experience how communities work together and influence each other. You will see the students in town over the next months asking questions of preparing survey results.
The students at UB come from a variety of different program backgrounds; each of them brings something unique to the class curriculum. Some students focus on the day-to-day management of the Geographical Information system while others may be interested in the historic development of the area.

Bonn Way stands a bit apart from the rest of our town. About two minutes outside of Ellicottville and not far from Pumpkinville, it meanders up a hillside that offers forest settings and some great views. Being connected to Great Valley water and sewer is definitely an asset. Taking advantage of the almost park-like setting with several mature apple trees, this home’s cedar siding, stone foundation and metal roof blend well with the forest backdrop. At first glance from the outside the home appears to be a modest size, but a quick tour of the first floor reveals a nice living room, kitchen, dining area, and two bedrooms. Add in the master suite and bath on the third floor, the large game room and extra rooms on the ground floor and you realize this is a house of no
small ambition. In the great room the cathedral ceiling is lined with tongue and grove knotty pine. Outside the sliding glass door an oversized deck presents a view of the forest. At the top of a flight of stairs is a big master suite with a full bath. Downstairs on the ground floor is the game room, large enough to house a pool table and bar area. Glass doors open to a walk out patio. There is a bath and two bonus rooms on this floor as well. You don’t have to be a golfer or skier to appreciate this house, its simple elegance and out of the main stream location makes for an uptown escape from downtown. And if you are a golfer or skier, you’re just minutes from Holiday Valley and HoliMont. For more information about this house contact Dave Blanchard, Assoc. Broker, at Holiday Valley Realty Company, at 716-699-3954.
The wood burning stone fireplace rises up to the cathedral ceiling, and provides atmosphere on chilly evenings, summer and winter.
The back of the house boasts a huge stone foundation. The stone work extends well outside the walls of the house. Below the house is a large storage room for garden equipment. At the left side is another storage room and covered wood storage. The deck extends over the stonework creating a generous outdoor living area. Note the decorative stonework.
Top Left: Entertaining is easy in the large downstairs game room. It has a full service wet bar as well as tons of additional storage coupled with room for a pool table. Top Right: The dining area has a view overlooking the forest. Bottom Left: Overhead the tongue and grove knotty pine ceiling adds warmth to the living room.

The board concluded that the subdivision met all the criteria for a subdivision within the zoning for that area. Town Engineer Mark Alianello said he had looked at the plan to see if there were any access issues for the new parcels, and said there were none. The board then again ran down the short form of environmental concerns.
A motion was made to show that the board had found no significant environmental impacts. It was amended to also authorize the board chair to sign the forms necessary to allow the subdivision to move forward. The board moved on to considering changes to the regulations concerning subdivisions. At one point there was discussion about notifying potential buyers or applicants as to the subdivision regulations. Comment
was made that some board members felt that at times real estate agents, surveyors, and attorneys did not always familiarize their clients with the regulations. However, the board stated that they felt the onus is on the buyer to make themselves familiar with the zoning regulations prior to purchasing any land. “Caveat emptor” was one members comment. At the meeting next month the board will finish the process of changing the subdivision regulations.

Each and every week I write my little column knowing perfectly well that the targets of my rants will probably never read them. I spent eight long years targeting George Bush and, I’m pretty sure, he’s not losing any sleep wondering what I’ve written lately. I’m hoping that this week might be a little different. Ellicottville gets a lot of visitors from the Buffalo suburbs and, I’m hoping, the families of the little animals that harassed Jamey Rodemeyer to death can be counted among them because this is addressed directly to them. Maybe, if I’m lucky, some of the little creeps themselves might just pick up a copy of this paper. I want them to realize that no matter where they go, no matter how far they travel and no matter how hard they try to hide, they will never be safe from condemnation and disgust. I want them looking over their shoulders living in constant fear that one of us might know who they are. Jamey Rodemeyer, in
case you missed it, was the 14yo Amherst Freshman who committed suicide last week after years of merciless bullying. Jamey lived in a society that believes he was somehow different because he was gay. He lived in a society that, for some reason, believes that it’s OK to harass children if they don’t fit in. This isn’t a new story. It happens over and over again. The strong kids beat up the weak kids. They mock them, spread rumors about them and harass them until it becomes unbearable. Bullying has almost become institutionalized. “It’s just kids being kids.” It happens in the hallways, in gym class, on the streets and online. They seek refuge among adults and find no shelter. Churches tell you that you’re sinning against God. You’re unnatural. An abomination. Politicians argue your value as a human and a citizen. Eventually it reached the point where Jamey apparently felt he had nowhere left to hide. He didn’t deserve this. I wish he had fought back. Violence should always be a last resort but sometimes it pays to pop someone in the head. Also a part of growing up that has been forgotten. There’s nothing more satisfying in the world than watching a bully react to getting knocked down. I fought back and I took my fair share of beatings but I didn’t stop fighting and, eventually, it paid off. Maybe we can help Jamey fight back. Not violently of course. I don’t feel like going to jail for endorsing the beatings of fourteen-year-
old bullies. But there are ways we can help. We can encourage our politicians to help pass laws making bullying a crime. We can help identify the bullies who drove Jamey to suicide and encourage the local police to take action. We can encourage more involvement by parents in their children’s lives. Find out what’s happening to them at school and online. Encourage them to be who they are without condemning them. If your church tries to tell you that your child is sinning, leave that church and never go back. Vote for tolerance. Fight hatred everywhere you see it. This is America. This is what we do. As for the little creeps I was addressing earlier. You were wrong. You committed the sin. You committed the crime. You’ve condemned yourselves to a life of regret. It may seem funny to you now but, later on in life, when you have children of your own, your actions will haunt you. You’re going to see Jamey’s face everywhere you go. Why? Because you may have helped wake the country up to intolerance. You’ve also become liabilities to your friends. If questioned, they will turn on you faster then you can imagine. There’s still time, however, to do the right thing. Apologize. Get help. Turn yourselves in. There’s absolutely no reason this young man had to die and, in your hearts, you know this. You were just trying to fit in like he was. It went to far and it’s to late to fix it but you can still help to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. Do the right thing. For Jamey.

the resort is building a high-voltage substation to help meet its energy needs. It will supply 115,000 volts while providing Holiday Valley with more capacity, and direct access to the power grid. That’s according to Dennis Eshbaugh, President of Holiday Valley, who described the benefits of having the substation. “It takes us off of the local Ellicottville distribution network, which gives us the capacity for growth. It allows us to be a better neighbor with all of the other users in the community, because our (power) loading is significant.” Eshbaugh continues, “Not only will it (the substation) give us that future growth, it will protect some of the impacts (of resort power usage) on the existing distribution system. So it’s a ‘win-win’ for us and the community.” Eshbaugh explains what he sees as future growth in terms of balance. “On the one hand, for twenty years we’ve been putting a tremendous amount of energy into using less power.” The effort runs the gamut from simple things like energy-efficient lighting, to speed controls on motors, and improved snow making efficiency. “To produce the
same amount of work, we’re doing it more efficiently today than we were twenty, ten, or even five years ago. But along with that (efficiency), we have more people in larger facilities, and we need more capacity. We will look at managing the use of power more efficiently, but we know there will be additional needs as we add ski lifts or buildings.” Eshbaugh noted that Tamarack, for example, uses a lot of power. Will the new substation cut the cost of power at Holiday Valley? Eshbaugh says, “This substation is about a $2-million project. It probably won’t lower our electric costs, but it should stabilize them.” The new substation may be on-line by ski season, although “That’s going to be very tight. Most of the equipment will be installed by December. But we may, depending on the sequencing, actually bring it on-line by March.” The idea is to test the new system first and avoid the unknown. The improvements listed above will not be apparent to the guests or the employees. Notes Eshbaugh, “I guess that’s a good thing. If we pull that off, that means we did our job. The costs are horrific, but it’s not really something we can show someone.” As for the fun things that people can see, Eshbaugh says the Sky High Ariel Park and the Mountain Coaster have had a great summer. “The next big thing is we’re working on
an automated snowmaking trail” which will improve the quality of snow along with better energy management. “We’re also adding some snowmaking at a couple of slopes, specifically Bear Cub. Probably the most exciting thing from a ski standpoint is the new quad chair we’re building on the SnowPine slope.” The plan is to complete the work by late October or early November. An official grand opening ceremony will be held sometime after Thanksgiving. The new quad chairlift will replace the existing SnowPine double chairlift. According to a news release from Holiday Valley, “This new lift almost doubled the capacity of the lift and enhances the ski-in, ski-out access to the SnowPine Village condominiums. “ Bear Cub is a beginner trail which is serviced by the new lift, and was outfitted with snowmaking pipeline and hydrants for the 2011-12 winter season. Meanwhile, the $1.5-million Mountain Coaster, built in the Tannenbaum area of the resort and first enjoyed during the summer, will get its initial winter run. One or two riders per car are pulled up the slope, followed by a thrilling descent as the car zigzags and spirals down the slope and through the woods. Riders can accelerate or slow down using the handles on the sides of the car.
the benefits of the new system. “We have mapped the mountain and we have a GPS model so that we now, on a computer, have all of the terrain lain out.” Riley notes their system is much more accurate than what can be found in the average automobile. “This equipment is accurate within an inch.” A consumer grade model like a hand held Tom Tom or a car GPS is accurate to about ten feet. “We are putting this accurate GPS technology in the Sno-Cats for this winter. This will allow us to know how much snow is there, underneath the Cat itself. As a side benefit it will also allow us to know, in the summer where piping is in the ground, accurately, and where wiring and hydrants are.” Riley puts the range of accuracy at one inch, or maybe an inch and a half, in its ability to measure snow depth. HoliMont has also added dirt,
as a form for some of the jumps, the half pipe, and some of the other terrain areas. Now with the GPS, they will be able to find that dirt within the snow, within the resort’s features so they will not blade into it. Riley says, “All of this will provide for much faster snowmaking, and should reduce our snowmaking costs, which is a big expense.” Riley explained that one of the most difficult things to know is how much snow is on the mountain. “Do you have enough here? Do you have enough there? How do you know? You could just estimate, or drive stakes in the ground until you hit dirt but they are not terribly accurate.” In addition to the expanded GPS, Riley says they have done many things this summer that are mostly not noticeable to the skier. “We bought new mowers, and a new dump truck. We are adding some Terrain Park features, as part of our constantly improving that aspect of the business. We’re going to be putting eight or ten new
features in this year, so there’ll be some new exciting things for people to try out.” HoliMont will also be expanding their snowmaking operation. They plan to add more tower locations and more snow guns, plus some other equipment. This is all necessary for the resort infrastructure. Riley notes that, “We are expanding one trail, to make it a little longer. That will be in the kid Terrain Park area.” Riley says that all the activity, including the GPS and the snowmaking, “Will hopefully allow HoliMont to open sooner, and be able to provide a great experience to the members and guests faster.” Next summer, HoliMont will start work on installing a new high-speed detachable chairlift, to replace the exhibition chair. “We’ll be starting that at the end of April or maybe May. With the new lift you will get to the top of the mountain twice as fast as you normally would. It’s also a much safer load. You’ve got a 2 ½ minute ride to the top instead of a 5-1/2 minute ride.”
The exhibit will be open Friday 5-7 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m.-7 p.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. The guild will host demonstrations at 12:30 and 4 p.m. on Saturday. Oliverio will perform live music at 7 p.m. on Friday. Saturday’s festivities kick off at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast and 5K walk/run. The pancake breakfast will be at United Congressional Methodist Church. The traditional donut
and hotdog eating and hula contests will begin at 1 p.m. Terry Jones will host two cultural short film and food tasting events at 12 and 3:30 p.m. An exciting lineup of live music begins at 3:30 p.m. with the Kokomo Time band. The Leftovers take the stage at 5:30 p.m. and Blue Hounds will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. Sunday features the Grande Parade, which will begin at 1 p.m. This year, be sure to look out for some of Salamanca’s own kindergarten and first grade students, said Ingrao. The kindergarten students will ride a little train and the first grade
students drive mini cars. The parade route begins at Main Street and ends at Triangle Park on Broad Street. Look out for Native American Story Telling my Veronica Reitter and a cultural short film and food tasting by Terry Jones at 2:30 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively. Live music and entertainment by Stone Row will wrap up the festivities from 3-5 p.m. For more information about the festival and its events or other chamber events, call the Seneca Salamanca Chamber of Commerce at 716-945-2034 or visit its website at www.SalamancaChamber.org.

GRAPE Legislation Congressman Tom Reed Announces Legislation at Branchport Vineyard
During an appearance at Jim Bedient’s vineyard in Branchport this morning, Congressman Tom Reed announced that he will soon introduce the Grape Region Accelerated Production and Efficiency (GRAPE) Act of 2011 in the House of Representatives. Reed’s bill will extend an Hours of Service exemption for grape haulers from 100 to 175 air miles from of the point of harvest to a processing facility during a harvest period. “This is an issue I have heard much about from grape farmers,” Reed said. “This legislation is similar to a previous provision our grape farmers enjoyed which expired
in 2009. The grape industry is an important part of the Western New York economy in both the agriculture and tourism sectors. It is important that we recognize that and try to do something about burdensome regulation which hurts their business.” “The purpose of extending the requirement from 100 to 175 air miles is to allow growers to get their produce from a given point in the Finger Lakes to many of the processing facilities downstate and along Lake Erie,” Reed explained. “Given the perishable nature of grapes, being able to get their product to processors more than 100 miles away in an expedient manner is critical to the industry.” Some
processors require delivery of grapes in as little as eight hours after harvest. Reed was joined at the announcement by Jim Bedient, a local grower who added insight to the legislation, and Jim Trezise, President of the New York Wine and Grape Foundation, at the announcement. “In tough economic times we need to look for places where we can remove regulatory burdens and government impediments to job retention and growth,” Reed observed. “Giving our grape farmers the freedom to haul grapes when their products are ripe is a common sense, no-cost step that we can take to protect our farmers way of life.”
Building Your Own Immune Shield
Healthwise
by LILIAN DIrITO , c.N.h.P.WELLNESS cONSuLTANT
I believe the best way to harness the power of our immune system is by providing nutrients and supplements that make it strong and prepared for this changing season. In the past two years, I have attended a several seminars with Dr. Gordon Pedersen, P h. D. in Toxicology and master’s degree in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Wellness. His investigation and scientific research on Silver Shield is at the top and most updated. Liquid Silver Shield with sol technology is the best choice for viral and bacterial infections as well as for any epidemic outbreaks. The gel is also necessary because as Dr. Pederson explains, most the diseases are transferred by hand contact. Silver Shield Gel used on hands will help prevent as much as 70 percent of all contagious diseases. What is Silver Shield? Silver Shield consists of millions of microscopic silver particles electrically charged and suspended in water. It is used as a natural disinfectant and antiseptic and is known to kill a wide variety of harmful microorganisms. This suspended solution of silver with Aqua Sol technology is truly a shield for everyone. It is a powerful immune protector for children as well. Dr. Gordon explains that this patented silver sol technology features an engineered nano particle of specific size and resonance that penetrates and neutralizes pathogens (virus, bacteria,
fungus, yeast, etc) continuously. This patented form of silver supplement Dr. Gordon says is safe enough to consume in a daily regimen while powerful enough to destroy the causes of many serious diseases like strep throat, staph, pneumonia, salmonella, dysentery, and yeast. The Shielding effect of silver is like your first line of defense, protecting the most vulnerable parts of the outside and inside of the body from contagious disease. Dr. Pedersen’s research affirms that Silver Shield kills 99.9% of most bacteria, yeasts and molds within 10 minutes. Continues to kill pathogens with catalytic, not chemical action. Can be used internally as well as topically. It has multiple mechanisms of action to ensure its efficacy. It is non-toxic and safe at recommended levels. “To date, there are no potentially pathogenic bacteria tested that… {this} product has not killed”- Dr. R. Leavitt, Professor of Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Brigham Young University. Claims Found in the United States Patent # 7135195: Silver Sol has hundreds of approved claims in the patent. Some of the most significant pathogens killed include: MRSA, SARS, malaria, anthrax, gram negative bacteria, gram positive bacteria, nosocomial infections, viruses including hepatitis B, HIV, influenza, and over 143 individual uses covering bacteria, viruses and fungus. Silver Sol can be used as an internal and external disinfectant because it passes through the body unchanged, so it produces no dangerous metabolites and is cleared 99% by the next day. Uses: Viral infections, fevers, bacterial infections, hand disinfectant, sinus congestion, hay fever, ear infections, rashes, asthma, pneumonia and many other ailments (“ A Fighting Chance” Dr. Gordon Pedersen). There is a new Silver Application Kit that contains super handy tools to help to apply the liquid and gel form more effectively. Other Herbs to the Rescue Elderberry Immune Chewable
for Children: Contains the protector shield blend, a whole food blend of 17 fruits and vegetables, which provide powerful phytochemical nutrients and antioxidants-potent plant compounds noted for their health protective benefits. This blend provides choline, inositol and 10 aminoacids—essential nutrients for healthy brain development and cell communication for growing children. Immune System Pack [System]. This body system pack provides year-round immune system support, creates an environment inhospitable to foreign invaders and stimulates the body’s natural defenses. Contents include: VS-C® TCM: This Chinese herbal combination creates a favorable environment for microbial balance and supports general detoxification and respiratory functions. Elderberry D3fense: Combines the benefits of Elderberry Fruit and Vitamin D3 with other herbs to give a year round immune support. Immune Stimulator: Promotes immune response by stimulating macrophage, T-cell, B-cell and cytokine activity. Solstic Immune: My favorite! It gives an immune boost in a convenient drink stick packet. A daily drinkable immune support. It is dissolved in water, tastes good, easy to drink, great for traveling. Besides Elderberry fruit, Echinacea Purpurea and Vitamin D3, Solstic Immune contains natural ingredients like Panax Ginseng, Vitamin C, blueberry, cranberry, raspberry , blackberry fruits, chock full of antioxidants and immune protectors against foreign invaders.For more information please call Nature’s Remedy in Ellicottville at 716-699-4372.Or visit www.natures-remedy.net The information found on this article is for educational purposes only to empower people with knowledge to take care of their own health.
