Want a fun fall activity that doesn’t cost more than diving distance? Well then get ready for 5th Annual National Alpaca Farm Days this weekend as several farms across the area welcome you to explore the farm and spend some time with some cute and curious animals. Wonder what the heck an alpaca is? You’re not the first. Alpacas are cousins to llamas but are indigenous to South America, especially the regions close to the Andes. All of the farms taking part in National Alpaca Farm Days offers a unique experience to guests by not only letting them get to know the alpacas, but also by offering information to those interested on what it is like to

Controller Sue Quattrone of HoliMont updated the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) on the status of their resort improvements, at the IDA’s regular monthly meeting of September 20th. Quattrone said they intend to have the work completed before ski season. As

they do every year, HoliMont looks first at things that need to be done before the season. Quattrone said, “This year, we are proposing some new tower locations for snowmaking reasons.” Two new mowers will be required to keep the slopes mowed, to allow for better snowmaking during the ski season. They are also looking to replace some wooden ski racks with aluminum racks. Additionally, “We’re looking

to buy four new Rangers and chorales for skiers. We’re looking to upgrade our uniforms, and we’re looking to get some nice recycling containers for inside the Chalet.” HoliMont is also looking for carpeting in the main Chalet, and to do some road repairs. Quattrone adds, “The point of sale computers for the ski shop and for

About fifty people attended the annual meeting of the Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board, held on Thursday, September 15th at Holiday Valley. Members elected the current slate of officers to another term. Jim Cooper is the chairman, Bob Keis is the vice-chairman, and Sue Myers is

the board secretary. Executive Director Richard Zink’s status report as to federal funding of the Appalachian Regional Commission’s budget was presented by Ginger Malak, who also spoke during the dinner meeting about the ARC-funded projects for 2010, 2011, and 2012. Currently, approval for 2012 funding is stalled in Congress, where the House has passed its version of legislation containing

$68.4-million for ARC, about the same as now. The Senate bill provides $58.4 million, a reduction of fifteen percent from the current funding level. According to Zink’s report, the Senate has not scheduled floor action on the bill. “Speculation suggests that the full Senate is not likely to consider many individual appropriations bills, but will wrap

Town Supervisor, John Burrell called the regular meeting of the Town Board together at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, September 15, 2011. The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance and all members were present. The board went over the minutes from last month’s meeting with no additions, retractions or alterations and moved on. The Police Department report was moved up in the agenda in order to resolve a time conflict. Officer in Charge, Don Auge presented the report to the board highlighting the Fall Festival schedule he has prepared for this year. Last year’s expenditures for staffing the police department through the weekend totaled $8,890.00 which was split three ways and was noted that numbers came in lower than budgeted. This year’s expenditures are looking at

being approximately $900.00 less this year coming in at around $8000.00, which will again be split three ways. The staffing will include all regular town officers, five special town officers, and two constables, Howard Gifford and William Dunkleman. The board then moved into a short executive session for further discussion. The police department report was carried by the board shortly thereafter. The Audit of claims report was presented to the board by Supervisor Burrell. Board members reviewed this month’s billing and quickly moved to pay the bills. The board carried the decision and moved forward. The Supervisors Reports were highlighted by a brief discussion of the Iskalo project taking shape for the remains of the former Signore commercial property. The collapsed

And my follow up question: “Where the heck did summer go?” For those of you keeping track, the first day of Autumn is September 23rd. It’s time to get your boat squared away for its long winter nap, put the bulk of your lawn furniture in storage, and rummage around your closet to find warmer clothes. Sadly, with “Rock N’ Roll” Weekend over with for another year, (and what an awesome festival it was), we need to turn our attention to bigger and brighter things…Autumn in the Enchanted Mountains is truly magical. The dry summer has been the

perfect recipe for an early fall, and those gorgeous autumn leaves are like flaming torches lighting the way to winter. We’re not quite to October yet and already Mom Nature’s handiwork is starting to peek through everywhere you look. Cool mornings and warm sunny afternoons are the order of the day – and I love warm sweaters and turtlenecks, so I’m a happy camper! So, dear readers, get ready for what promises to be one of the most spectacular Autumn seasons we’ve had in a very long time. It’s the perfect time for a long walk in the woods.Until next week… JZ

Google Sponsors HV ClassHoliday Valley to Host Web Marketing Class on GetListed.Org

Some of the nation’s leading online marketing experts will be in Ellicottville this fall to offer an intensive crash course in Internet marketing. Google has signed on as a presenting sponsor for GetListed.org’s “Local University” seminars - identical four-hour morning and afternoon sessions - at the Holiday Valley Resort on Tuesday, Nov. 1. This will be the 11th Local University event GetListed.org has hosted across the nation since February 2010. Google’s sponsorship has allowed GetListed to offer 25 free seminar tickets for area college students. College students or faculty members can inquire about the tickets by emailing [email protected]. The event is designed to show Western New Yorkers, especially small businesses, how to navigate the endless possibilities for marketing on the web, with an emphasis on local discovery. “The course will show local businesses how to get found by Internet users, both local and worldwide,” said Mike Blumenthal, an Olean-based web design and search consultant. “”For Google to support our event, especially for the benefit of area college students, is a terrific added bonus.” Community Bank, N.A.,

Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency, Cattaraugus County Economic Development Team, Olean Area Federal Credit Union, MetroWNY and Holiday Valley have already signed on as corporate sponsors, and several area chambers of commerce have partnered with event organizers to promote the event to their members, including Hamburg, Ellicottville, Olean, Wellsville, Niagara Frontier Tourism Task Force, Chautauqua County, Seneca Salamanca, West Seneca, South Buffalo, Bradford (Pa.) and Warren (Pa.)Presenters include Blumenthal; GetListed.org co-founder David Mihm, a Portland, Ore.-based search engine consultant; Mary Bowling, a search engine specialist and corporate trainer since 2003; Matt McGee, executive news editor for Search Engine Land and an independent online consultant specializing in small businesses; Ed Reese, a Spokane, Wash.-based Internet marketing consultant specializing in organic SEO, local search and analytics; and Cecelia Stewart of Google Places, who works on product marketing for Google’s local products. The seminar costs $129, although members of participating chambers

of commerce can get a discounted rate - even larger before Sept. 30 - by contacting their respective chamber to obtain a coupon code. Registration for the course is available at getlisted.org/wny. Space is limited. Blumenthal stressed, “As a purely educational event, no sales pitches will be made” at any time during this seminar. “We’ve seen too many people being taken advantage of by people who are making outrageous promises about search engine optimization (SEO),” Blumenthal said. “This is strictly informational, but so valuable to business owners trying to navigate this massive thing called the Internet. These are some of the leading people in the SEO world who will be speaking. We’ve had people come from Japan to attend this seminar.” In addition to the seminar, the Local University “faculty” will be offering free website reviews for attendees in an adjacent room at the Holiday Valley Resort from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 1:30 to 6 p.m. Slots are available on first-come, first-served basis in 15-minute intervals. Send an email to [email protected] with a preferred time for a consultation. Ten percent of all profits from the event will be donated to a charity in Western New York.

Following the enormous success of last year’s night of mayhem and suspense, The TTTF is proud to announce its second annual fundraiser and performance event: a sequel performance of interactive murder mystery at the historic Bartlett House in Olean, New York. An exclusive one-time event will be held Saturday, October 1st, 2011. All of the actors, including local talent from Olean, NY, Bradford, PA, New York City, and special guest actors from Albany, NY, are volunteering to perform for this night of fun and mystery. Hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and desserts will be served throughout the evening and are being donated by local individuals and businesses. This is the second annual event focused on the continuing effort to resolve

financial debts from the TTTF inaugural season, and to build a solid financial base for potential future seasons. After making significant strides in paying down debts, this performance is focused on paying local vendors and individuals who have patiently waited and continued to support the troupe. Matilda Fiffenfur is released from prison early after killing her evil father, and with her return, the past comes flooding back. Has Matilda changed her ways, or is she out to finish what she started? Will the nefarious Mrs. Fiffenfur finally get what’s coming to her? Will the sly and scheming maid serve up her last tortilla? What is the hunky yet seemingly innocent pool boy hiding? What is Matilda’s cellmate’s secret obsession; and what will happen with the arrival of a mysterious family member from the distant past? Only after hunting for clues, reviewing the evidence and

interviewing the performers will guests be able to determine who has committed the crime. With several possible endings, guests are assured an evening of suspense, thrills and spine-tingling fun. A limited number of $40.00 tickets are available, and currently can be purchased exclusively from the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce. Pending availability, tickets may be available at the door; however having been sold out for both 2010 performances, it is strongly suggested that interested parties purchase tickets ahead of time. A $50.00 cash prize will be awarded at the performance to the person who solves the mystery. Other fantastic prizes will also be given out.

Bright Outlook for USPSPost Office can Thrive if Congress Removes Shackle

Kathleen Burns, Western New York District Manager, U.S. Postal Service“Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night…..will stay us from the swift completion of our appointed rounds.” For more than 235 years, the U.S. Postal Service has adhered to this unofficial creed. But now, the agency that is responsible for delivering mail to every resident of the nation at affordable rates is facing a financial crisis. Absent Congressional action this year, the Postal Service will experience a cash shortfall and be forced to default on a payment to the federal government. The increased use of the Internet, combined with an ongoing recession, has had a dramatic and unprecedented impact on our country’s mail volume — and on the Postal Service’s bottom-line. We have responded by pursuing every available option under our control to aggressively cut costs and raise revenues, including slashing annual operating expenses by more than $12 billion and reducing our size by 110,000 career positions during the past four years. We also continue to consolidate our processing facilities to reduce personnel and transportation costs and right-size our expansive retail network by conducting studies of approximately 3,700 retail offices for possible closure. At the same time, the Postal Service is continuing to work with local retailers to offer products and services at more convenient locations — places were people already shop, such as pharmacies, grocery stores and other appropriate retailers.

This includes the introduction of the Village Post Office, an alternate access option that offers popular postal products and services such as stamps and flat-rate packaging. — and opportunities for local businesses in communities nationwide These aggressive efforts, however, are insufficient to close projected budget deficits and ensure the survival of the Postal Service beyond our current fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30. The Postal Service needs Congress to enact legislation by this September that would resolve the current mandate requiring retiree health benefit pre-payments, which costs the Postal Service $5.5 billion annually. Legislation also is needed to return a $6.9 billion overpayment into the Federal Employees Retirement System to the Postal Service. If it were not for the unique health benefit pre-funding requirement, the Postal Service would have recorded a cumulative profit of $1 billion from 2007 to 2010. We also are exploring legislative proposals that would enable us to establish our own health benefits program, administer our own retirement system, and adjust the size of our workforce to match operational needs and the changing marketplace. In addition, legislation is needed that will give us the authority to determine the frequency of mail delivery, which can save the Postal Service roughly $3 billion each year. The Postal Service is not seeking tax subsidies. We receive no tax dollars for operating expenses, and rely on the sale of postage, products and services to fund

our operations. Moreover, the Postal Service is not seeking additional borrowing authority. Indeed, the absolute last thing that Postal Service wants or needs is to incur additional debt. What the Postal Service needs is access to the money we already have over-paid into our retirement fund. The Postal Service delivers to more than 150 million addresses daily, including 1.2 million in western New York, and the 167 billion pieces of mail delivered annually accounts for more than 40 percent of the world’s mail. We deliver to America’s homes and businesses more efficiently and at a lower cost than any comparable post — all without the financial support of the American taxpayer. Even in an increasingly digital world, the Postal Service remains critical to the economy, supporting a mailing industry that represents more than 8 million jobs and more than $1 trillion in commercial activity annually. Regardless of how many people use the Internet to pay their bills and send documents, the core function of the Postal Service and core need of its customers — the physical delivery of mail and packages to America’s homes and businesses — will always exist. And despite doom and gloom headlines, the Postal Service can have a bright future and be put on the road to profitability if given the flexibility from Congress to operate more like a business does. It’s time for Congress to swiftly complete its rounds, and pass substantive legislation to transform the Postal Service business model — which will put it on a sound financial footing for generations to come.

New Restaurant in DudleyFuji Grill Japanese Restaurant Takes Over for Sakura in Salamanca

Sakura Sushi Restaurant of Buffalo NY passes the Salamanca sushi torch to Fuji Grill Japanese Restaurant of the Buffalo area. In July 2011, Sakura Sushi launched an exciting new partnership with the Historic Dudley Hotel’s ENGINE 132 Restaurant to bring fresh Sushi to the Southern Tier. Since that first July “Sushi Nite” the concept has grown immensely. Demand for the fresh sushi has grown so quickly, in fact, it has already outgrown the size and ability of Sakura Sushi to keep up. Chef Joey, owner and executive chef of Sakura, says “I would almost need to close my restaurant to bring down to Salamanca another chef to work with me, enough dishware and so forth.” “It’s time for me to focus on my own restaurant and pass the opportunity onto another.” He says. Fuji Grill is more than happy to pick up where Sakura Sushi left off. With three locations and a larger pool of resources, the owner of Fuji Grill, Eric Sui, is excited about the opportunity. As Chef Joey had, Sui also has looked into opening a Japanese restaurant in the Southern Tier. In the end, it was decided that a restaurant in this area would simply be too far from his three

Buffalo area restaurants located in Hamburg, Orchard Park and Williamsville, to manage properly. He is therefore thrilled with the Dudley partnership. “To be able to work with an established restaurant in the area is a huge benefit” says Sui “it makes bringing our unique menus to the Southern Tier much easier.” In the months to come, Sui is planning on offering not only sushi but also hibachi dinners at the Dudley. The partnership will begin with a full line up of sushi and sashimi being offered in the Dudley’s ENGINE 132 Restaurant on Tuesday, September 27, 2011, 4pm-

10pm. If the demand for sushi remains high thru October and November, it is likely by the first of the year that Fuji Grill will offer sushi at the Dudley every Tuesday. The Tuesday night menu will include a full line-up of Japanese fare including seaweed salad, edamame, rolls, hand rolls and special rolls, as well as, sushi and sashimi. Menu pricing for the evening will range from $4.50 to $15.95. For more information, a menu or to make reservations, call the Historic Dudley Hotel at 7146-945-2002 or email [email protected].

Grennan to Visit St. Bona’sLecture and Book Signing at SBU on September 26, 2011

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Sept. 20, 2011 — St. Bo-naventure University will welcome author Conor Gren-nan to campus Monday to share his fascinating journey to find the families of vic-tims of child trafficking in Nepal. Grennan, author of this year’s All Bonaventure Reads book, “Little Princes: One Man’s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal,” will be on campus for a lecture and book sign-ing. His talk, “SBU 2015: One Class Full of Promise,” begins at 7 p.m. in the Reilly Center Arena. The program is free and open to the pub-lic. All first-year students were asked to read the an-nual All Bonaventure Reads text, which is the cornerstone of the University 101 course. The entire campus commu-nity was invited to read the book and participate in the

numerous events planned over the course of the fall semester. “Little Princes” tells the story — tragic, joy-ful, funny and inspiring — of what began as a young man’s around-the-world ad-venture trip and ended with a life-changing commitment to children and families in Nepal. Grennan was initially reluctant to volunteer, unsure whether he had the proper skill, or enough passion, to get involved in a develop-ing country in the middle of a civil war. But he was soon overcome by the herd of ram-bunctious, resilient children who would challenge and reward him. In 2006, Gren-nan founded Next Generation Nepal, a nonprofit organiza-tion dedicated to reconnect-ing trafficked children with their families. After his ad-dress, Grennan will sign cop-ies of his book in the Univer-

sity Bookstore, also located in the Reilly Center. In addition, The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure will host “This Beautiful World: Pho-tographs by Robert Roudin” in the Quick Center mezza-nine. The exhibition will be open until Oct. 24, and can be visited at any time. This traveling exhibition has a large selection of photos from Nepal, enabling read-er’s of this year’s All Bo-naventure Reads selection a visual exploration of the Nepalese condition and of Mt. Everest. “This Beautiful World” contains 65 photo-graphs spanning six conti-nents in a retrospective of the work of photographer Robert Roudin - the life work of an outstanding photographer with a keen eye and a com-passionate look at the world and those who live in it.

Nightmare Hayride is a twenty-five minute tractor drawn hayride down a haunted path with live scary creatures. Nightmare Hayrides is open weekends through October: 7:30-9:30 pm Friday-Sunday. Tickets are $15/person; children 5 and under are free. Nightmare Hayrides are located at 6319 Sommerville Road, and can be contacted by calling (716) 699-4839.

Imagine riding a bicycle from Fort Kent Maine, to Seattle Washington: 4160 miles, by yourself, camp-ing out most of the nights, and carrying only about 30 pounds of gear on your bike. That’s just what Chris Figu-reida is doing. But, the self described adventurer is mak-ing the trip for more than just bragging rights; he’s on a mission to improve the health of school children all across the country. While wending his way across country he speaks to grade schools and Rotary clubs along his route.

His nonprofit organization Cycle for Heart works with the American Heart Associa-tion to promote healthy life styles to schoolchildren, and with the Rotary International Polio Plus Program to raise funds for the fight against polio. Last Friday morning Chris stopped by Coffee Culture on his way to Erie Pa. He was in the company of Al and Han-nelore Stocker, with whom he stayed for a couple of days. Looking about as fit and trim as anybody could possibly be, Chris showed off some of the gear he travels with. On the top of his bike bags was a solar powered charging unit

that charges his cell phone and Ipad. On his handlebars was a GPS tracking unit that reports his position in real time as he travels. In the eve-nings he blogs, and updates his Facebook page and sends tweets to his many Twitter followers. For his school presentations he involves the kids, “I invite them up on stage with me. I try to get them moving around, ‘lets walk the way a lion walks, or hop like a bunny!” He says his message of exercise and healthy eating resonates with children, whom he hopes will take the message home to their parents. “I am very fortunate that healthy hab-its are something I grew up with.” he says, adding that’s not generally the case for most kids. Those who might think this is a one time stunt for Chris would be mistaken; this is Chris’ fifth cross coun-try trip on a bike. Past trips have included biking: from Key West Florida to Que-bec City Quebec, Canada, (2953 miles in 67 days), Ven-tura CA to Lubec ME (3746 miles in 64 days), and from the Canadian boarder to the Mexican boarder along the Pacific Coast Highway (1800 miles in 21 days). In addi-tion he has climbed Kiliman-jaro, hiked the Inca trail up to Machu Pichu, and ridden elephants in Cambodia and Thailand. No wonder her re-fers to himself as an “Indiana Jones wannabe.” To follow Chris’ progress online go to cycleforheart.org.

All first-year students were asked to read the annual All Bonaventure Reads text, which is the cornerstone of the University 101 course. The entire campus community was invited to read the book and participate in the numerous events planned over the course of the fall semester. “Little Princes” tells the story — tragic, joyful, funny and inspiring — of what began as a young man’s around-the-world adventure trip and ended with a life-changing commitment to children and families in Nepal. Grennan was initially reluctant to volunteer, unsure whether he had the proper skill, or enough passion, to get involved in a developing country in the

middle of a civil war. But he was soon overcome by the herd of rambunctious, resilient children who would challenge and reward him. In 2006, Grennan founded Next Generation Nepal, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reconnecting trafficked children with their families. After his address, Grennan will sign copies of his book in the University Bookstore, also located in the Reilly Center. In addition, The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at St. Bonaventure will host “This Beautiful World: Photographs by Robert Roudin” in the

Quick Center mezzanine. The exhibition will be open until Oct. 24, and can be visited at any time. This traveling exhibition has a large selection of photos from Nepal, enabling reader’s of this year’s All Bonaventure Reads selection a visual exploration of the Nepalese condition and of Mt. Everest. “This Beautiful World” contains 65 photographs spanning six continents in a retrospective of the work of photographer Robert Roudin - the life work of an outstanding photographer with a keen eye and a compassionate look at the world and those who live in it.

STOCKED FULL

By Doug Arrowsmith

There’s a stench hanging over our nation lately. The stench of intended serfdom and fealty to corporate bullies and the piggish ruling class. This is the stench of oppression felt all over the third world in nations ruled by medaled strongmen and wealth hoarding crackpots. If you’ve any doubt that this stink has spread to our shores you need look no further than recent attempts to strip Americas poor of their rights and dignity by stripping them of their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote. I’m not simply talking about the recent attempts to make it harder for them to vote that I wrote about last week. I’m talking about a movement to completely prevent them from voting by making it illegal for them to do so. Do you smell it yet? Matthew Vadum, in a recent column, said about the poor, that, “registering them to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals.” He went on to say that “it is profoundly antisocial and un-American to empower the non-productive segments of the population to destroy the country-which is precisely why Barack Obama zealously

supports registering welfare recipients to vote.” Vadum, an award winning conservative columnist and frequent Fox News contributor, is best known for his fervent attacks on community organizing groups like ACORN and anyone else who would dare to contribute to the well being of poor folks and minorities. The term Nazi is bandied about recklessly and carelessly these days but Vadums tactics, to me at least, conjures images of brown shirted thugs kicking in doors and dragging poor people off to camps and shallow graves. This whole thing should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to recent events. Attacks on organized labor, minority rights and voting rights have become commonplace lately. We’ve seen the Tea Party transformed from a group that may have once been concerned about the “little guy” into a group that literally comes running when it’s new corporate masters blow the whistle and we’ve seen actual members of congress claim that the Voting rights Act was a violation of states rights and, perhaps, unconstitutional. The wing nuts blabber on and on about “class warfare” while endorsing fanatics like Vadum in their attempts at class genocide. The greasy wheels of regression keep turning. In the same column (which you can read at auburn journal.com if you can stomach it) Vadum goes on to say, “encouraging those who burden society to participate in elections isn’t about helping the poor. It’s about helping the poor to help themselves to other’s money.” Who exactly are these poor people that Vadum’s talking

about? Do they include among their ranks the army of disabled veterans who, after serving and suffering for their country, can, through no fault of their own, contribute financially to it? How about senior citizens who have seen their life savings stripped to the bone by greedy Wall Street criminals? Is he talking about the unemployed working class, who, after years of backbreaking work, have seen their factories folded up and shipped to China? Students? The sick? Legal immigrants who provide America with the food she consumes at less than minimum wage? Who is Vadum talking about? Take a look in the mirror. He might be talking about you. Don’t get me wrong. Everyday I see perfectly able people sitting around doing nothing. There most assuredly are folks who contribute little to society. These folks are just plain lazy. But, who am I to judge them? I know perfectly well that there are millions of people who could work and contribute but don’t. The danger lies in the attempt to group everyone together in the same class of scumbag. On the flip side I am aware that there are generous and caring rich folks who love their country, are charitable and truly care about the people who work for them. I work for one of them. Rich and poor working with each other and for each other. This is the America I love. The America that doesn’t judge. Matthew Vadum and people like him just might be the true burdens on society. They want to create a country divided by class, race, and beliefs. They want two nations. One for them and one for you. [email protected]

STWthem into an omnibus measure later in the fall.” Senior Regional Development Coordinator Ginger Malak said the ARC funds are very important for the entire operation of Southern Tier West. “We have an administrative grant that comes out of ARC. So it provides quite a bit of funding to our agency and the region.” She noted that the fifteen percent funding cut under the Senate bill would be to the funds that go to agency projects. During their meeting, the Southern Tier West board approved the execution of contracts for projects that have already been funded. The agency received a contract from the ARC for a project entitled “Southern Tier West Regional Local Foods Program.” The grant is for $65,993 and will be used

to enhance the local food effort across the southern tier region. According to Malak, “We’re looking at the local food system within the region. We’re going to be working with the farmers markets and producers in the region.” The project will include a local agricultural branding campaign, website design, outreach and education, community gardens, and an agri-business revolving loan fund. The project uses $65,993 in ARC funds. Another project receiving federal funds is called “Foundations in Healthcare,” sponsored by Southern Tier West on behalf of Erie 2 BOCES and the Chautauqua County Workforce Investment Board. According to the agency’s 2010-2011 Annual Report, the goal is to provide healthcare career trainings to assist incumbent workers in their present positions, as well as career ladder advancements. The program, “Will prepare adults for entry level positions through hands-on work experience

(when practical) combined with appropriate classroom instruction. (It will) introduce career paths and pipelines to higher education and degree programs for both adults and high school students.” The Southern Tier West board also approved a document, which provides an economic analysis of the region, and a plan for economic recovery through indicated strategic initiatives. Executive Director Richard Zink states in his report that once the document is certified, “Our region and towns therein may apply to receive funding assistance for public works, planning, and technical assistance projects related to economic development.” The 2011 Comprehensive Development Strategy (the document) is an updated and revised version of the 2010 CEDS and was prepared under contract with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration. Following board approval, the report will be submitted to the EDA for further review.

If live music isn’t your thing, take a stroll through town to visit the numerous vendors selling their arts and crafts, let the kids burn off some energy on carnival rides and, of course, indulge in some of the season’s greatest culinary delights. The food court will be open Friday evening and

nearly all day Saturday, while carnival rides will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and the arts and crafts show and curbside market will be open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Over at Holiday Valley, get the best view in town with a $2 ride up the Mardi Gras chair lift. The lift will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (weather permitting), and proceeds will go to various worthy local causes. In addition to the breathtaking

view of the Valley’s fall colors at their peak, you can enjoy live music, food and beverages at the top of the mountain. If you haven’t checked out the Mountain Coaster or Sky High Adventure Park yet, there’s no better time, and you definitely don’t want to miss out on the Valley’s annual Tent Sale and Ski Swap.

raise alpacas and the economic benefits alpaca farm owners could receive. Right in Ellicottville on Sugartown Road, Sugartown Farms has 32 alpacas, including eight crias (baby alpacas), said Helen Herman, co-owner of the farm. However, during this time the Herman’s are boarding some alpacas and breeding others, meaning they have over 40 alpacas for people to come and see. “Last year, over the two days, we had over 150 people come,” she said. “We hope to have more this year.” People will also be able to purchase clothing items made from alpacas, such as socks, hats, gloves, mittens, sweaters and scarves. This year, people can even buy little bears or finger puppets for children. Then a little bit away in Portville, N.Y., the Never Ending Alpaca Farm awaits the arrival of alpaca lovers to come and visit all 24 unique animals, especially the six newborn crias. As part of the open house, the Scutt’s have activities planned for both children and adults. For the kids, there will be an alpaca farm scavenger hunt and a “name the cria” activity. For both adults and children there will be knitting and skirting demonstrations. As with all the

farms, the Scutt’s will be selling alpaca fiber items. Some are imported, Kathy Scutt said, “but we lean toward U.S. made.” Never Ending Alpaca will have free refreshments for guests to enjoy both days. Up in Collins, N.Y., Humming Herd Alpacas, LLC will be offering a unique experience for its guests by not only showing you alpacas from one farm but two. Humming Herd Alpacas, owned by Shannon and Dane Stocker, share their land with another alpaca farm owned by the Stocker’s parents. Shawnee Alpacas and Humming Herd Alpacas together own 40 alpacas, with eight of them being crias between two months and just a few days old. During farm days, they will also have a CPA, who‘s also an alpaca owner, on hand to discuss the business benefits of alpaca ownership. “We’ll show people the business end of alpacas,” Shannon said. The fourth and final alpaca farm participating in this weekend’s event is Mager Mountain Alpacas. The farm in Little Valley has seven pronking crias this fall, making the farm’s alpaca count rise to 34. To keep the cool days interesting this weekend, Mager Mountain is offering a wide array of activities for you and your kids to enjoy. This year the Mager’s will have spinning demonstrations, baby alpaca watching and “Minute to Win It” games with prizes, as well as other activities. Just

as last year, the refreshment table proceeds will benefit the “Smile Train” charity that helps to provide children with clef lips the necessary funds to have corrective surgery. Also, as another perk for those interested in raising alpacas themselves, Cathie Bridges and Jennifer Mesch of R.A. Mercer & Co. P.C. will be at Mager Mountain at 2 p.m. on Sunday. This weekend may be looking to be a cold one, but the alpacas are sure to warm your heart. “People should come and see them and enjoy them,” Kathy said. “It’s free and it’s not for everyone to get into farming, but we want to show how gentle and curious these animals are! Especially if you have children they’ll love it. Alpacas and children seem to have a natural connection.” “Some of them will just let people kiss them, hug them and pet them,” Shannon said. Sugartown Farms, 6277 Sugartown Road, Ellicottville – open both days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Never Ending Alpaca Farm, 1285 Lillibridge Road, Portville – open house hours are from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Mager Mountain Alpacas, 69 Mountain View Drive, Little Valley – open Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Humming Herd Alpacas, LLC, 3380 Route 39, Collins – open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday

CCIDAour ticket office, we’re looking to upgrade that. “ HoliMont also plans to renovate a lift house, and is looking to buy some more bike rentals. Plans also include the purchase of some office equipment and some snowboard package rentals. IDA Executive Director Corey Wiktor commented, “To see two resorts continuing to invest (HoliMont and Holiday Valley) significant amounts of money

into their resorts is tremendous to see.” At the IDA meeting, HoliMont submitted an application for general improvements and upgrades to the resort of about a half million dollars, according to Wiktor. “They are seeking New York State sales tax abatement on all their furnishings and equipment, with respect to their project.” A public hearing will be scheduled with respect to the potential benefits of the sales tax abatement, which the IDA could potentially deliver. The public hearing will probably be held sometime in late October. Action was also taken during

the IDA meeting on a proposed power substation project, submitted by Holiday Valley back in July. The idea is to generate additional power to the resort, at a cost savings to Win-Sum Ski Corporation. Wiktor notes that, “The public hearing was done and SEQR (State Environmental Quality Review) was done. There was no opposition to the project, so the next step would be the approving resolution, which was taken today (September 20th).” The next meeting of the Cattaraugus County IDA will be held October 25th.

building removal effort, which was originally expected to be demolished before Fall Festival, is still in limbo.

Town the project is underway and will begin shortly after the Fall Festival passes. Additionally in the supervisor’s report, the current town insurance policy is due to expire on October 31st. After a brief ‘pros vs. cons’ style conversations regarding two policies, one by Selective and one by Trident Insurance, the board moved to purchase a new policy under Selective due to the depth of coverage and benefits it will provide despite being slightly more expensive. The reports were carried by the board and the meeting moved on. The engineer’s report was

highlighted by the discussion of the water line project on Holiday Valley Road. The plug has been pulled for the time being on the project as there are physical issues with the placement of the new lines and the upcoming road realignment. The project will resume when the issues are fixed. A brief discussion revealed a need to repaint the exterior of the tank as it is currently peeling off in “sheets, not pieces.” The project will be pursued some time next spring. The meeting moved into an executive session and was closed to the public at 7:30 PM.
