Ellicottville Town Board members set public hearings for 6 p.m. Nov. 14 on the town spending plan, along with a hearing enabling them to override the 2 percent property tax cap. This year the town earned $325,000 for the sale of the highway garage for the Tim Horton’s project.

Water service/Purchase contracts At the Village Board meeting Monday night Mayor Charlie Coolidge opened two public hearings; one for considering new rules and regulation for water service in the Village, and the other to allow the board more leeway when considering purchase contracts.

concerns over Fall Festival The Mayor then opened the meeting to business from the floor. Several citizens were present and let their feelings known. During Fall Festival there were a number of fights, one

serious assault, and a marked increase in the amount of trouble caused by the crowds. Betsy Peyser of Betsy’s Consignments was one of the first to speak. She indicated that she had not seen any police walking on foot through the festival. It was pointed out to her that all the Village and Town police officers were working that weekend and assisted by five or six State Troopers, making a total of about 19 officers on duty. Betsy said that most of the officers she had seen where in the vicinity of the beer tent. She mentioned that the people during the day are not a problem, but those

that hang around at night seem to cause the trouble. Betsy also pointed out that last year with the good weather, people were in a good mood and there was almost no trouble; “But, when it’s raining or cold they get mean.” MJ Brown of Tangled Twig’s rose to speak and said that she had to call the police three times Saturday night. She said it was not until her third call that some officers came down to her end of the street. Mayor Coolidge stated, “We’ll check out the fire codes or liquor laws.” He went on, and seemed to echo

This year Hoagies celebrated its 26th year in business in the same location in town. There are precious few restaurants anywhere who can make a similar claim. Hoagies owner, Kuk Kukulka – he’s the third generation in his family to go by Kuk – was kicking around Seattle when his cousin called. He admits at the time he was a little down on his luck and was working at a sawmill. The call turned out to be fateful, because his cousin was offering to move to Ellicottville with Kuk and open a restaurant. They opened just before Fall Festival in 1986 at 24 Monroe Hoagies owner, Kuk Kukulka

emphasizes the quality of all his ingredients: the soups and salads are all made from scratch, their pizza dough is made fresh for them, and all their deli meats are sliced fresh each day.

As of November of 2005, the Olean plant employed about 210 people. And so the story of the Olean tile plant draws to a close.

By, Leo McCarthy, For many years there has been a little known program through New York State which has the potential to actually put money INTO the pockets of homeowners. Ellicottville residents who own property in the Village Historic District and are thinking about making repairs or improvements to their historic residential or commercial property can have a substantial portion of their construction expenses returned as a tax credit in their N. Y. State income tax return.

Town board members will be able to take the $325,000 earned from the sale of the highway garage into account when they finalize the upcoming budget. Although details of the budget were not specified during a Wednesday meeting Ellicottville Town Board members set public hearings for 6 p.m. Nov. 14 on the town spending plan, along with a hearing enabling them to override the 2 percent property tax cap. The cap was put in place last year, with municipal officials able to override the cap if there are enough votes to do so. Town officials said they are still in the budget process but want to make sure they have the flexibility to go over the cap if deemed necessary once the spending plan is closer to completion. They explained the same override capability was put in place last year but was not needed,

and the same may hold true.Funding from the sale of the highway barn was also deposited Wednesday. Officials said plans for a new highway facility and pole barn are moving along and voted to accept bids so they could progress. Town officials are also awaiting word on their ability to seek ownership of the Cooperative Extension building. Board members voted to spend $14,000 on repairs to the municipal building instead of the originally-anticipated $1,500. Work is also expected to begin in coming weeks on the water extension on Route 242 at Route 219. Town officials will review water changes recently adopted by the village, hoping to get a uniform set of codes between the municipalities, Mansfield and Great Valley. Although rate changes were part of the village plan, none are expected in the town.

In other news, officials reported Fall Fest went well, with village police receiving help from state police and sheriff’s deputies. While

police warned some festival-goers about open containers, they reported having no problems with people then dumping beverages.

Part of the magic of living in the Enchanted Mountains during the Fall season is enjoying the outdoors. For some, this means following age-old traditions set forth by relatives in the distant

past. I speak, of course, of those who enjoy pursuing the wily whitetail deer, so named for the white underside of its signature tail. It’s estimated there are something like 25 million whitetail deer in North America right now. No wonder whitetails are the most sought after game on the continent. And no wonder the Southern Tier of New York State is one of the top destinations for hunting these extraordinary creatures. Bow season is now officially open, and the firearm season is just a month away. Although I myself am not a hunter, (unless we’re talking about bargains), long ago I learned from a friend just how important the sport is for conservation efforts. Hunters

It may not be your particular cup of tea, but you have to admit – hunting is important. If only these folks can make it through another season safely and with no accidents. That’s of paramount importance, too. This can only be achieved through hunter education and the constant emphasis on following the rules and being safe. Communication is the key.

ECS School UpdatesAnnual ECS K-5 Halloween Parade

ECS Sports Boosters • Supporting Student Athletes: Ensuring a Team

“Thank You”

The ECS Sports Boosters group uses money to support the student athletes-all of who recently wore pink socks purchased by the group to support breast cancer awareness.

BY sharon turano

You may see them at concession stands, sporting events, banquets and more, but the Ellicottville Sports Boosters are about much more than athletics.“Our life is our kids,” said Kyle Woodin of the group, adding they want to give those kids the best opportunities they can. That may entail parking cars to raise money, buying apparel for the football team, planning pep rallies, and even sorting through more than a 13,000 cans in hopes of getting money for the

deposits. The group then uses money to support the student athletes-all of who recently wore pink socks purchased by the group to support breast cancer awareness. Some of the youth went to athletic camps due to the sports boosters’ efforts, and others received equipment they could otherwise not afford. Making sure they all have what is needed makes a team, said Karl Schwarts. He said with everyone having the same equipment, it levels the playing field so some do not have more than others.

“They beam with pride,” he said about youth being able to feel a part of the team.“It takes a community to raise children,” said Todd Palmatier of the group. And, the residents of this community are coming together to raise kids. Their enthusiasm, in fact, is catchy. They have enlisted the kids to help. The volleyball team stopped in to help sort cans after Fall Fest, while others assisted with other fundraisers too. “It’s part of being a team,” said Debbie Golley about the responsibility the teammates have to one another. “It’s their community, their chance to give back,” she said. Even though efforts are growing, with about 30 people joining the sports boosters, more are sought. To become part of Ellicottville’s Sports Boosters’ community that helps raise children, e-mail [email protected] or visit the group’s facebook page at ellicottvillesportsboosters. Join the Sports Boosters’ at their next meeting November 20th at 7pm at the Highschool Cafeteria.

Hands down, Halloween is a favorite holiday for kids across the country. Any parent can tell you that the countdown to Halloween begins well before the leaves start changing colors – and early enough for your child to go through at least three different costume choices

before October 31st rolls around. But the wait is well worth it, especially here in Ellicottville. One of our most beloved annual traditions is the Ellicottville Central School Halloween Parade. This wonderful event truly connects the town and the school, with students, teachers and area merchants getting involved in the festivities. Dating back as long as most locals can remember, every year on Halloween, ECS’s Elementary School children (from kindergarteners through fifth graders) turn into princesses, superheroes, ghosts and goblins to parade through town. Something that the school and community have enjoyed for years, the kids go “trick-or-treating” at the doors of area merchants who happily hand out treats to the town’s smiling witches and wizards. An Ellicottville native, ECS Elementary Principal Connie Poulin has fond memories of the parade from her own childhood, recalling being in kindergarten in the old 1887 building and walking out the school doors to participate in this long-

standing tradition. For as long as Principal Poulin can remember, there has not been a break in the annual tradition, with the parade taking place rain, shine or snow! Under severe weather conditions, the parade must go on – but it takes place at ECS, with area merchants going to the school to hand out their treats. Principal Poulin coordinates with the merchants in town, making sure they are prepared and know just how many little devils to expect. This year’s parade takes place on Wednesday, October 31st, kicking off at noon on Monroe Street (outside of Tangled Twigs) and concluding outside the Ellicottville Post Office. It wouldn’t be a school activity without a few lessons to be learned. The parade is a great opportunity for the kids to practice their good manners and thank the merchants for their great generosity. And for those ECS parents out there, remember to have your boys and girls leave any toy swords, guns or other weapons at home to save for any after-school trick-or-treating.

This year’s parade takes place on Wednesday, October 31st, kicking off at noon on Monroe Street (outside of Tangled Twigs) and concluding outside the Post Office.

On behalf of both the Bradford Regional Medical Center and Olean General Hospital Foundation Offices, we would like to thank you for supporting “A Girls Night Out” October 4, 2012. We are profoundly grateful for your participation, as the evening was a tremendous success! Nearly 600 women throughout the southern tier joined us for an extended salad bar, wine tasting, a complimentary photo booth, DJ John Barry, an introduction of our female physicians, and the evening’s guest speaker, Renee Rongen. Renee was everything she promised as she captivated the women in

Letter To The EditorBRMC and OGH Thank Community Support for “A Girls Night Out”

the audience with both laughter and tears through her keynote speech, “Life’s Your Legacy… Live It!” Everyone left inspired! Guests entered drawings to win over 30 donated raffle prizes; a thrill for all who won. Most importantly, ladies enjoyed the evening with friends, co-workers, daughters, sisters, and mothers. We are humbled with the response to “A Girls Night Out;” it is evident to both hospitals that women’s health will continue to be a priority throughout our service areas in both New York and Pennsylvania. Your participation allowed us to encourage the women in

our community to take better care of themselves. Through our program, we were able to educate women on our digital mammography, bone density, chest pain, and sleep center. Several women scheduled mammograms and checked their blood pressure. When the audience participated in step aerobics and zumba, it reminded all of us that exercise is critical to staying healthy. Again, we are thankful for your enthusiasm and support as we successfully helped women in the southern tier strive to improve their health and lifestyle through an enjoyable evening with girlfriends.

OLEAN -- The final tallies from the tenth annual Rally in the Valley are in and organizers from Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce are very pleased with the outcome. With the success of the event, they will be able to gift $10,500.00 to local charities. The Dempsey Club; Olean High Volleyball; American Cancer Society; ReHabilitation Center; Olean High Boys Tennis; Dresser-Rand Challenger Learning Center; and Southern Tier Military Support Group are all recipients of the event’s proceeds. With this year’s donations, the Rally in the Valley has been able to give more than $177,739.00 to local charities. Rally in the Valley was introduced to the area by local business leaders who saw what other communities have

done with similar events and wanted to bring that same type of experience to Olean. They knew the event would draw many people from outside the area and the longer they ran the event the larger it would grow. In addition, they knew there were many bikers in this area that would love an event like this that was close to home. Co-Chairs of the Rally, Dennis Jones, Randy Langdon, Alan Roth, and Larry Penman all agreed, “Our rally is not your everyday motorcycle rally – you see kids walking around with their parents and grandparents – there is something for every one of the family to do and enjoy at the event.” “We were lucky on the 10th Annual Rally in the Valley in regards to the weather. The number of participants in the dice run was our second

highest (with 1052 participants in 2010).” They added, “This event appreciates the continued support (physical, financial, and personal) that it receives from the sponsors, the City, the community, the volunteers – it’s a great feeling.” “The 10th Annual Rally was a great success – the event ‘officially’ added another day with the Cutco/Kabar Visitors Center Warm Up Event and we had more participants in the bike parade (75 bikes in 2010, 221 last year and 289 this year) more contests, more entertainment with the parachutists, firework, corn hole tournament and more!” added Meme Yanetsko, GOACC COO. The 11th Annual Rally in the Valley is scheduled for August 21-25, 2013. For more information, call the Chamber at 716-372-4433.

OLEAN -- Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce is now taking float applications for the Santa Claus Lane Parade. The Santa Claus Lane Parade is always the highlight of the holiday season, and will be held on Friday, November 23, in downtown Olean, beginning at 7 PM. The Santa Claus Lane Parade would like to invite area municipalities and organizations to create a float, send in a musical unit, or display historical/public vehicles in the parade. The process is simple and the enjoyment is plentiful, so why not enter? In order to participate in the parade, you’ll simply need to print out an application form that can be found online to the Chamber’s website: www.oleanny.com or by calling the Chamber office, fill it in, and return to the Chamber office. Parade

Santa Claus ParadeOlean Parade Now Taking Float Applications

trophies will be presented in eight categories. The parade rules and guidelines include: floats may be no taller than 13 feet and they MAY NOT contain a Santa or Mrs. Claus; NO CANDY SHOULD BE THROWN FROM THE FLOAT, and any children on the float should supervised. Adults must accompany small children if walking; if you would like to hand out candy/coupons, please have volunteers walk along the sidewalk and hand out; and if you have animals (dogs and horses are allowed) in the parade, you must provide scoopers to clean up droppings. To participate in the parade, a float or unit decorated in holiday fashion. THERE IS NO THEME – the holidays and all the celebrations can be the theme if needed. A SAFETY COMMITTEE will review all floats before they enter the

parade route. Although there is no official deadline for parade applications, GOACC urges all participants to get the information into the Chamber by November 19. All parade participants must have a waiver signed and Chamber officials ask that all waivers be handed in by November 21, to the offices at 120 North Union Street. GOACC is also encouraging organizations to participate in these other Thanksgiving week events: Thursday, November 22 -- Twin Tiers Striders Turkey Trot; and Saturday, November 24 – both Portville and Allegany will host their Holiday Celebrations. For more information regarding Santa Claus Lane or other Greater Olean Area events and activities, please call 716-372-4433 or email [email protected].

Architectural Spotlight


(Pictured Left to Right) 1. The kitchen features granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, and handsome wood cabinets. Note the view of the living room fireplace through the cut out on the right. 2. The two story bank of windows frame the view. The wood burning fireplace has a contemporary built in look. The handsome wood floors also provide warmth. 3. On the left you can see a bit of the built in whirlpool tub. The wood flooring and peaked roof create an intimate feeling, while the window floods the room with light.

(Pictured Left to Right) 1. The view off the second story deck looks out to the Autumn colored hillside. 2. The dining room is just off the kitchen and still feels like a separate room. The three windows provide a light warm feeling to this intimate space.

This custom built home is set on six acres with more land available.

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

You can’t blame me if this week’s house just happens to be on Witch Hollow Road, and it just happens to be only two weeks to Halloween. But, I’ll spare you the bad puns and get on with it. This custom built home pulls off an interesting alchemy. Its floor plan feels open and yet is not one giant great room, which seems so common these days. To me, great rooms suggest a lack of imagination. In this home, the generous windows in most of the rooms provide an open feeling, and yet the rooms still feel intimate. On the ground

floor, the living room has a cathedral ceiling and a large bank of windows that look out to the scenic view. Around the corner is the kitchen. One wall has an opening that looks into the living room, but the two are still separated. The cook can still be a part of the conversation in the living room, but the cooking odors and noise remain in the kitchen, unlike a great room. Just off the kitchen is the dining room. It’s close for serving, but still feels like a separate room. There is a bedroom and a full bath on this floor. Upstairs is another bedroom and the master suite. The shower, commode, and sink are in their own room, but in a nice quirk

of design, a whirlpool tub is in the bedroom. Downstairs is divided into two family rooms. At the foot of the stairs is a room with a pool table and a second fireplace. Through an archway is TV room with wet bar or what could be an additional bedroom suite. The sliding glass door opens to a patio under the second floor deck. The view is terrific, most of the property around the house is included, and more land is available. The view of the distant hills aglow with fall colors is beautiful. It’s a home sure to cast a spell on you. OK, couldn’t resist just one. Best of all it is only two miles from downtown Ellicottville, soon to be busy with holiday and ski visitors.

In today’s world of science there is perhaps no more iconic image of nascent human life than the images that come from ultrasound technology. While mothers can tell they are pregnant early on, nothing crystalizes the reality for parents that their lives are changing like a picture on paper. While

having an ultrasound check up is a very special moment, the grainy snapshots that parents-to-be come home with are not high-resolution works of art that capture the power of the moment. Now there is a way to capture the beauty of life in the womb in a more meaningful way. Toni Gustafson started Peek-A-Vu two years ago and offers different

packages that document and commemorate milestones in fetus development. One package can provide pictures on a CD at 15 weeks, around the time of what is known as the gender determination session. Another more elaborate package gives parents a 3D video of the baby’s movements at 26 weeks into the gestation period. Ms. Gustafson has been an ultrasound technician for over 30 years and is currently working at the Lane Woman’s Health Center in Jamestown, New York, which is located at 400 Foote Avenue. Peek-A-Vu offers this unique service in the area through appointments only most evenings and weekends. Ms. Gustafson can be reached at (716) 640-5711. Pricing information is available upon request.

Little Valley, NY - According to the U.S. Department of Justice, about 1.3 million women are victimized by domestic violence every year. Here in Cattaraugus County, over 500 women and children are victimized yearly. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (NDVAM), a time for law enforcement agencies, victim assistance organizations and community leaders to work jointly to generate greater public awareness about domestic violence, prevention strategies and effective responses for victims. Cattaraugus County Sheriff Timothy S. Whitcomb wants domestic violence victims to be aware that they have access to vital information through two victim notification programs offered by the Sheriff’s Office through the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute, Inc. The first is the Family Court Order of Protection Notification Project SAVIN-NY (Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification), which allows domestic violence victims to register to be notified by phone, text message, or e-mail when a Family Court Order of Protection has been served. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The second is the New York Sheriffs’ Victim Hotline - VINE® (Victim Information and Notification Everyday), which allows crime victims to register at www.vinelink.com or toll-free at 1-888-VINE-4-NY

Sheriff Promotes ProgramsOctober is 2012 National Domestic Violence Awareness Month

to be notified by phone or e-mail in the event of an offender’s release from jail or prison. This service is also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, about one-third of female murder victims were killed by an intimate partner. “Victims of domestic violence often need the kind of timely information that the VINE and SAVIN-NY provide. Both programs provide registered crime victims with critical information when they need it most. This access empowers domestic violence victims to gain a greater degree of control in their lives and to make informed decisions about their safety,” said Sheriff Timothy Whitcomb. Domestic Violence Awareness Month was created in 1987 to promote increased rights and services for domestic violence victims; to educate the public about the crisis of domestic violence and the prevalence of this epidemic in all of our lives; and to encourage involvement and support from our community for domestic violence victims and those who serve them. The New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute, Inc. was established in 1979. The mission of the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute, Inc. is to assist New York’s Sheriffs in the advancement of education in the criminal justice community, to prevent juvenile delinquency, to develop lawful and productive citizens, and to support victims of crime and their families.

The New York Sheriffs’ Victim Hotline - VINE® is a program of the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute, Inc., which provides crime victims and the general public free information in both English and Spanish 24 hours a day about offenders incarcerated in the New York City Department of Correction, the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (DCCS) and 60 county correctional facilities. The nation’s first automated service for victim notification, VINE currently serves crime victims in more than 2,400 communities in 47 states, including most of the nation’s largest metropolitan areas. SAVIN-NY is a program of the New York State Sheriff’s Association Institute, Inc., in partnership with: the NYS Association of Chiefs, NYS Police, NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, NYS Unified Courts, NYS Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, NYS Office of Victim Services, Westchester County Department of Women, and NYS Coalition against Domestic Violence. This project was supported by Grant No. 2011-VN-CX-0012 awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. For more information about 2012 National Domestic Violence Awareness Month or to learn more about the New York State Sheriffs’ Institute victim notification services, contact Investigator Melanie Easton at 716-701- 3447.

Local CommentaryHistoric Property Rehab Tax Credits Available

Leo McCarthy

The N. Y. State Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program was greatly expanded over the last couple years and now allows historic property owners to get back up to 20% of their renovation costs in the form of a tax credit, or even a rebate if income eligibility requirements are met. The 20% tax credit covers renovation work on your property including most exterior, interior and mechanical work, as well as materials, which exceed $5,000. The upper limits are $50,000 for residential, and $5,000,000 for commercial properties. The commercial credits from N. Y. State can also be combined with a Federal Historic Tax Credit program to claim another 20% of expenses for a combined total of 40% of construction costs claimed. The Historic Tax Credit program was put in place as an incentive for owners of residential and commercial buildings to renovate, reuse and preserve existing properties which have historical or architectural significance to a community. Since its inception, the program has been used by many homeowners to save a considerable amount of money on renovation expenses. In recent years, the N. Y. State commercial tax credit amount has been increased to cap at $5 million, and when combined with the Federal Historic Tax Credit program – can produce a very attractive incentive for commercial developers to invest

in and reuse historic buildings. It’s important to note that there is a difference between a “tax deduction” and a “tax credit”. Generally speaking, a tax deduction reduces the amount of taxes you owe by lowering the amount of calculated income you report. A tax credit is an actual dollar amount that is awarded to you (like a gift card), in this case by the SHPO office after meeting all the program conditions. Once your income tax form is completed and you know your final tax bracket and taxes owed – the credited dollar amount is subtracted from what you owe. For many years there has been a little known program through New York State which has the potential to actually put money INTO the pockets of homeowners. Ellicottville residents who own property in the Village Historic District and are thinking about making repairs or improvements to their historic residential or commercial property can have a substantial portion of their construction expenses returned as a tax credit in their N. Y. State income tax return. A tax credit is often better than a deduction because the dollar value of a deduction varies greatly depending on your income level. On the other hand, a one dollar tax credit - is a one dollar tax credit for everyone regardless of income level. There are quite a few guidelines which need to be followed and accessing this program can be rather complicated. Two of the most important requirements are that the property needs to be over 50 years old and listed on the N. Y. State Register of Historic Places. If you own a building within the Village of Ellicottville Historic District, and it is listed as a “contributing” property, then you are eligible for the historic rehab tax credits. If your home or commercial building is not within a designated Historic District, and

not listed on the State or National Historic Register - you can still access the program by contacting the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and exploring with them the possibility of beginning the process to get your building documented and listed on the State Register. It is a somewhat daunting process, but anyone with minimal historic research skills and persistence can complete and submit an application and likely have it approved. The NY state agency charged with adding properties to the Historic Register and administering the Historic Tax Credit program is the State Office of Historic Preservation (SHPO) which has its main offices in Albany, N. Y. and covers the State with regional territories. The State Historic preservation Office also has a very informative website which can be found at: www.nysparks.com or Google N. Y. State SHPO. To explore the possibility of completing an application to have your home or commercial building listed on the N. Y. State Register of Historic Places, the person to contact who handles Cattaraugus County and the Ellicottville area is Virginia Bartos at the SHPO. Virginia can be reached at 518-237-8643 Ext. 3256. If you want to get started on a Historic Tax Credit application or have questions about the process – Elizabeth Martin is the SHPO contact person for all of Cattaraugus County, including Ellicottville. Her office phone number is 518-237-8643 Ext# 3287. Despite the cumbersome application process, this tax credit program is one that seems to work well for all stakeholders. With the dual outcomes of actually putting money back in the pockets of historic building owners and preserving treasured historic buildings - it’s a win-win for everyone.

The Perfect Gift Any Time Of Year. HealthwiseSleepless...The Natural Answers

By Lilian D. Dirito, C.N.H.P.Certified Natural Health

ProfessionalHolistic Wellness Coach

There is nothing better than a good night sleep. If you feel that you didn’t rest through the night and feel tired when you wake up, having a hard time focusing and concentrating during the day, you may not be getting enough sleep. The patterns at night are endless: from not been able to fall asleep, or going to sleep well for two to four hours, then waking up, rolling over, getting frustrated for the rest of the night, to finding your mind racing with thoughts that cannot shut down, are just a few to mention. Your body needs between 7 and 8 hours of good uninterrupted sleep. Research shows that sleep might be the third essential factor of a long and healthy life. According to experts, stress, anxiety and depression are some of the leading causes of insomnia in our country today. Financial worries, fear and uncertainty often keep people up at night. I will share with you some known tips, but also new information that personally brought me helpful insight on how to sleep better. Based on the work of Steve Horne, Valerie Greguire and Judith Cobb, they teach us

some important information: 1. Nutritional Support for your stress: A lack of B-Vitamins may make people feel more anxious and worry more, so reducing your stress level is important, the herbal combination Nutricalm contains a full B-Complex in a base of calming herbs to support the nervous system, the Chinese formula Nervous Fatigue is also a good choice. Adaptamax (one of my favorites), provides adaptogenic herbs that help the body to handle stressful in a healthy and better way. For more serious adrenal exhaustion, such as post-traumatic stress disorder or exposure to stress for long periods of time Adrenal Support may be helpful. Adaptamax, Adrenal Support and Master Gland are now in Glandular Pack a convenient 30 day program to support your adrenal glands and recharge your body with energy. Aromatherapy is another approach that I like to use when under stress. You can use a warm bath with Epson salts and you favorite relaxing essential oil. I love lavender and bergamot, also ylang-ylang and patchouli are good options. Light a few candles, put some relaxing music and soak in the warm bath for 15-20 minutes. This will reduce nervous stress and prepare you for a better night’s sleep. 2. Low Blood Sugar could be another reason for sleep unbalances. “ If you often wake in the middle of the night and can’t fall back to sleep you may be having a problem with low blood sugar (also called hypoglycemia). Some common feelings of low blood sugar are: craving for sweets, sudden fatigue, irritability when a meal is missed, waking up in the night and looking for food. Steve Horne explains that what happens 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 (especially before bed) will help. Licorice Root and Super Algae or Spirulina with breakfast and lunch may help balance your blood sugar.Horne also says that bed-wetting in children can often be a sign of blood sugar problems and dehydration. If you have a child with bed-wetting problems, try keeping them away from refined carbohydrates and supporting their system with Licorice root to stabilize their blood sugar levels. Magnesium Complex is also helpful. Physical pain is an obvious contributor to sleep problems. There are many natural alternatives to help this. Chiropractic adjustments, a massage, an Ionic Foot Detox, even some relaxing stretches can help relieve pain. Natural supplements like Everflex tablets, Tei-Fu Massage Lotion (my favorite), IF-Relief or Nerve Eight, may be very helpful with pain and inflammation. Hot flashes that come with hormonal changes can also disturb a good night sleep. Natural formulas like Flash-Ease and Pro-G-Yam cream can be helpful to balance the hormones and improve your sleep cycles. Sleep apnea, snoring or sinus congestion can all make our night a sleepless one. It has been estimated that 30 – 50% of the US population snore at some point or another. The formula Snore Ease is great for this problem. This formula contains bromelain, which breaks up thick mucus and reduces inflammation, it also has CoQ10 to improve oxygen intake to the cells, bitter orange to relieve congestion, stop inflammation and help with allergy reactions as well as dilate respiratory passages. Many couples whose spouse snores have found this to be a savior. It really is!

the frustration of the citizens, “Ellicottville is a ticking time bomb, someday there may be a riot”, Bridgett Ward of The Holiday Gift Shoppe, chimed onto the Mayors comment, “somebody may be killed and it won’t be pretty.” The mayor went on, “We need you (business owners and the public) to stand behind our decisions. There are too many beer tents. This is something that has to be addressed. The outside music has to stop.” Open containers seemed to be the primary concern.

constaBle rePort: Fall Festival

Later in the meeting during the Constable’s report, Howard Gifford presented a letter to the board. In it he outlined the “serious concerns” he had about the festival. He started by saying he “Doesn’t want to offend anyone but I feel very strongly about this.” He defended the actions of his officers, stating that he and Officer Dunkleman had walked the streets. He pointed out that Officer Dunkleman had worked 18 hours straight, primarily dealing with open container violations. The mayor pointed out, “nobody has faulted you or Wayne (Dunkleman.)” The Constable went on to say that each year he asks the papers to publish statements that the open container laws will be enforced, and that he prints up signs about this and posts them around the Village. Nevertheless, many festival participants flagrantly violate the law. “I’ve done everything possible,” he said. He pointed out that when officers see an open container violation, they first ask the person to pour the drink out, but added, “they go right down the street and pop another one.” The Mayor pointed out, “people have been told that Ellicottville won’t write people up,” (give them a court summons). The

Mayor commiserated with the Constable, “I understand your frustration. If you don’t get the cooperation, there’s nothing you can do.” Constable Gifford stated he had seen people getting off buses with open containers they had been served on the bus. He went on to say, “this year we took more crap from the public than ever before.” He echoed the mayors feelings, “now we are getting serious assaults, somebody is going to get killed.”

sPecial events committee resPonse

For her part Patra Lowes, chair of the Special Events Committee noticed the change in the attitude of the crowd. She said she “could feel the vibe change about 4:30.” She mentioned she saw several hard liquor bottles in the alleys behind some buildings. She announced that there will be a meeting of the Special Events Committee about Fall Festival Monday October 22 at 9:00am. She said she would like to get a cross section of businesses and the public at the meeting for input.There was other business at the meeting.

sPraGue develoPment comPlies W/PlanninG Board

Mr. William Sprague and Bill Gugino were there to present a letter to the board. They started off by stating they will comply with the directive from the Planning Board, saying, “in no way are we not going to do what the Planning Board has requested.” The board is requiring that the developers remove the driveway from Elizabeth Street into the planned bowling alley. This will leave a driveway from Fillmore as the only access point to the new business. Mr. Sprague pointed out the intersection of Fillmore and Hwy 242 is “a pretty major hazard.” Part of the problem is the road is very narrow there. He described how a large truck had to back on to 242 several times to turn onto Fillmore. The mayor asked the Village Engineer to look at the intersection, and stated that the state is going to put in sidewalks in the area and perhaps at that time something can be done.

dPW rePort Harold Morten reported that his crew had removed the benches and flowerpots and put them into winter storage. Maybee Alley behind Dina’s had been black topped. Several trees have been cut down, and the streets were swept around the village.

GarBaGe contract The Village received three bids for garbage collection. A Company called New Way was the lowest bid with a proposal that calls for six major garbage pickups a year, on a three year contract of $48,892 per year. Modern submitted a bid that was a bit lower than the current contract for $56,113 per year for three years. There was a third bid received, that was the highest of all. In all, the New Way bid is $10,600 less than the current contract. The Mayor informed the board that the Village Clerk had called towns in the area that use New Way, and they all reported they are happy with their service. A motion was made to accept the bid from New Way and passed on a roll call vote.

sPecial events Patra Lowes reported that so far she has received no applications for Christmas in Ellicottville. Halloween hours for trick-or-treaters were set for October 31st: 6:00pm to 9:00pm.

PuBlic hearinGs No members of the public were present to comment during the public hearings and they were closed. The first was a local law to set the rules and regulations governing water service in the Village. The regulations are too extensive to review here, but copies are available at the Village office. Item two changes the standards for the procurement of services to allow the “best value” standard to apply. The law requires the Village Board to “consider the overall combination of quality, price, and other elements of the required commodity or service that in total are optimal relative to the needs of the Village.” Both local laws passed on roll call vote and the meeting was adjourned.

at its plant in Gettysburg, Pa. And so ends 100 years of operation in the Olean facility (originally known as the Olean Tile Company.) Before the doors close permanently, let’s take a look at how it all started. The founders of the Olean Tile Company were Charles T. Fuller, O.W. Pierce, and Gordon D. Philips, who helped launch the Olean factory in 1913. According to articles printed by the Olean Times Herald, the story begins with Fuller and Pierce searching for a niche where they could grow a profitable business. They decided on tile after Pierce noticed a ceramic mosaic tile being installed at the Olean Trust Company, a new corporation. Philips joined the other two men after being recruited as a student from Alfred University, then as now a center for ceramics development. The operation that began in a single room soon moved to the plant located on East State

Street (Route 417), and looks much the same now as it did years ago. The company that once employed eleven people grew to 450 people in 1964. The plant’s name also changed over time, as it joined with other manufacturers. Dates to remember include 1958 when the Olean Tile Company was purchased by the National Gypsum Company and created American Olean Tile as a subsidiary. Then in 1988, American Olean Tile was sold to Armstrong World Industries for approximately $330 million. At the time, the Olean plant employed about 435 people. Thomas Blair, the manufacturing superintendent, said no change in employment was anticipated as a result of the sale. In 1995, Dallas-based Dal-Tile struck a deal with Armstrong, acquiring the Olean plant among their other operations of American Olean Tile. At the time of the sale to Dal-Tile, American Olean produced glazed ceramic mosaics for settings such as shopping malls, office buildings, schools, and hospitals. Then in 2001, Dal-Tile International merged with Mohawk Industries. Both firms were known as major floor covering manufacturers.

A Times-Herald article dated November 22, 2001 states that the Olean plant “Produces mosaic tiles for commercial and residential use” and quotes Mohawk executive Jeffrey Loberbaum as calling the Dal-Tile and American Olean brands “Two of the most respected brands in the business.” In recent years, employment dropped at the Olean plant, with a major announcement coming in February of 2006 that production would be cut in half and that one of its two kilns would be shut down because of foreign competition and slow sales, according to management. As of November of 2005, the Olean plant employed about 210 people. And so the story of the Olean tile plant draws to a close. Looking back at happier times, it can be noted that in May of 1963, Olean Mayor Edward J. Morris presented Olean Tile Company co-founder Gordon D. Philips with the Chamber of Commerce Achievement Plaque, in recognition of fifty years of distinguished achievement in Olean. The mayor stated that, “Olean is proud to claim the Olean Tile Company as one of our outstanding industries.”

Street, and the establishment has been at the same location ever since. His cousin departed from the restaurant in 1996, and Kuk has run the place ever since. “We started out pretty basic, just subs and pizza.” A fire in 1990 did some damage to the 800 square foot eatery. The fire started in an apartment in the back of the building, but the smoke and water damage was too extensive. That year they were closed for Fall Festival. With the help of his landlord

“we reconfigured things a bit” and opened again. To this day if you look at the top of the red brick interior walls, you can still see traces of the smoke. The mainstay of Hoagies fair is still subs and pizza, but Kuk has added items over the years, “I listened to the customers and what they wanted.” These days you can find salads, wings, and their homemade soups among the many varieties of subs and pizzas. Kuk emphasizes the quality of all his ingredients: the soups and salads are all made from scratch, their pizza dough is made fresh for them, and all their deli meats are sliced fresh each day. Their signature item is the steak sub, which Kuk says, “helped pay for my house.” A popular item

in winter is their chicken wing sub; a favorite of the skiers. “We get calls asking for the chicken wing sub with no bones,” he says with a laugh. “I have to tell them it has no bones.” With all the changes around town Kuk admits to being a little nervous. With the new Tim Horton’s, a deli supposedly going into the new Kwik Fill, and the new bowling alley and pizza parlor, he wonders if there will be enough business to go around. But after 26 years Kuk can be assured his restaurant is well established. A fact that he seems to acknowledge when he reflects, “Its a fun town. Ellicottville has been good to me.”
