Cattaraugus County IDA Backs Quad Chairlift at Holiday Valley
By Nicholas Pircio
WPIG 95.7 FM
Plans are moving ahead for Holiday
Valley to construct a new quad
chairlift. Two resolutions associated
with the project were approved last
week by the County of Cattaraugus
Industrial Development Agency.
The new chairlift should be ready
for use in time for the start of the
2010-2011 ski season, according to
Jane Eshbaugh, marketing director
at Holiday Valley. The idea is to
create a faster and more comfortable
skiing experience.
Eshbaugh expects construction
to begin next summer, and explains
that the new lift will be a “high-
speed quad.” Once people get on, it
will be a much quicker ride to the
top. “It’s a longer chairlift,” thus
allowing a skier more time going
down the slope. Eshbaugh notes the
new lift will service intermediate
terrain, which is “one of our most Holiday Valley continues their improvement project plans with the construction of a new high-speed quad

Town Board Review

Town Amends Zoning Laws; HoliMont Advances on Canfield Project
By Ian Biggs
The Ellicottville Town
Board convened on Tuesday,
October 28. Many topics
were on the agenda for the
evening. First on the agenda
was the Ellicottville Zoning
Laws. An amendment was
on the table to extend part
of Ellicottville’s LD (Low
Density Residential) district,
approximately 4,500 acres or
7 square miles northwest of
town into the AR (Agricultural
Residential) district that
currently encompasses most
of the outlying areas of the
Town of Ellicottville. Being
that it was a public hearing,
various town residents were on
hand to express their concerns
regarding the possible wind
turbines that a few area
residents have discussed
allowing on their land.
Buffalo Bison farm owner
Richard Southard, who owns
approximately 600 acres
to the northwest of town,
asked the board to consider a
modification to the proposed
zoning amendments that
would allow him to be able to
put windmills on his property
without requiring a variance.
As some of the Buffalo Ranch
land is currently zoned AR and
was being proposed to change
to LD (where windmills would
be prohibited), Southard
expressed concern that he
would like to possibly be able
to put the wind turbines on the
land proposed to be designated
LD. The board took his
remarks under advisement.
Town Planner Carol Horowitz
expressed that even AR land
has “ridgeline” guidelines that
do not allow the turbines to be
built if they would be visible
on a protected ridgeline.
Resident and Buffalo Ranch
neighbor Bill Brown expressed
that though his property is
LD, he is surrounded by some
of the Buffalo Ranch’s land
currently zoned AR, where
turbines could be built. He
expressed that the wind
turbines “do not benefit the
(Ellicottville) community” and
that there would be “no relief
to homeowners” regarding
a reduction in electric bills.
Local resident Jack Kramer
also voiced his concern
that “even though there is a
ridgeline ordinance in place,
the structures (which reach up
to 550 feet tall) would reach
above the ridgeline.”
The board voted to accept
the amendment to the zoning
laws, thus expanding the LD
district around Ellicottville.
Dave Riley, President of
HoliMont, and Sean Hopkins,
Attorney from the law firm
of Hopkins and Sorgi who
represent HoliMont, discussed
with the board the Canfield
Expansion project. They
are working closely with the
Town of Mansfield, the Town
and Village of Ellicottville
in order to obtain sewer and
water rights for the building of
225 condominium units on the
property adjacent to HoliMont
to the east. Hopkins said
that “all DEC requirements
have been met” and that it is
now up to the three entities
to come to an agreement on
the water and sewer rights.
The Canfield project should
take approximately “ten to
fifteen years to build out”
according to Hopkins. He also
affirmed that HoliMont would
contribute $550,000 to be put
towards the Town and Village
sewer system over a five year
period. Hopkins is hoping for
the Town and Village to come
to an agreement regarding
the sewer system by the next
session.
Bill Brown again spoke at
the public hearing regarding
the new Village Hall building
that the Village was proposing.
Board members are looking at
whether to expand the existing
building, or to build something
new that would be shared by
both the Village and Town.
He suggested to the board
that various Town and Village
entities could be consolidated
and wondered “why are there
two engineers and two clerks”
and suggested to the board
that they could possibly “work
closer together.” A board
member questioned whether
he was suggesting that the
Town and Village should
become one. Brown answered
that the “very thought would
be heresy.”
In Fall Fest news, Town
Published Every Thursday / AD DEADLINE: Mondays at 4pm
Supervisor John Burrell
praised the police forces for
their work in controlling the
crowds over the weekend. He
commented that there was
“good and successful policing
of a large, large festival.“ 114
arrests took place, with 79
of those being citations for
open containers. There were
four DWIs over the festival
weekend. Police Chief Larry
Graham told the board that
they had been awarded a
$1,250 grant towards the
use of extra patrollers or
road block inspections. In
all, the board praised the
police department and Town
employees for a good and
safe Fall Fest. Graham also
appreciated the use of the
Electric ATVs donated by EVS
(Electric Vehicle Systems) of
Ellicottville.
Highway Department
Superintendent Dave Golley
discussed the bridge that needs
replacing on Sommerville
Valley Road. He anticipates
a cost of $250,000 to replace
the bridge, but suggested that
if done “in house” it would be
much cheaper. He anticipates
work to be started on the new
bridge next summer. In other
Highway Department news,
over 4,000 tons of salt and
sand have been delivered to
combat the heavy snowfalls
anticipated this winter.
A public hearing has been
set on the 2010 budget on
November 10 at 7:30pm.
Town Supervisor John Burrell
said that the upcoming budget
is “higher than I’d like” but
will be looking to reduce it
further. The belief is that town
revenues will be less than
last year, but suggested that
the Tamarack Club mortgage
revenues have not been
accounted for, which would
then fall commencing under
next year’s budget.
The meeting concluded with
a dedication to the late Don
Pritchard, a past Town Zoning
Board member and great
contributor to the community.
The board agreed that he will
be sorely missed.
The next meeting of the
Ellicottville Town Board Tamarack Club
will take place on Tuesday,
November 24, 2009 at 6pm. Completed December 2009

Reverend Deb Packard: Bringing the Message of Hope
By John Thomas
“The whole idea of hope led
me to the ministry” is the way
Reverend Deb Packard of the
United Church of Ellicottville
sums up her calling to a life in
the church. But religion was not
her first ambition.
After graduation from Oberlin
Conservatory as a voice major,
she headed off to New York
City to pursue her dream of
becoming a singer. As she says,
-“I realized very soon that I like
-to eat and have a roof over my
head.” But, after a while she
enrolled in NYU to get a masters
in Music Therapy. “I thought
I could put my music together
with my passion for wanting to
do good in the world.” In 1978
marriage and family came along
with a move to the suburbs.
When the Berlin Wall fell and
the eastern European countries
began to embrace capitalism,
her family moved to Hungary.
Her husband at the time was
a financial consultant whose
advice was sought by the former
communists trying to convert
government assets to private
enterprise. Deb got involved
in the Church of Scotland
congregation beginning there.
“That whole experience
definitely led me to considering
the ministry,” she tells me.
After living in Hungary for two
years, her family moved back to
the Rochester area where Deb
took a job as director of a family
resource center. The center
offered classes in nutrition,
parenting skills and other types of
support for families with limited
resources. “I came in contact
with a lot of single women,
raising children, without money,
on welfare, and got a whole new
appreciation of what that life is
like.” But she was frustrated
by the fact that as beneficial as
her support was, what she could
offer these women fell short of

Deb Packard sees the church as allowing her to bring
together the physical and spiritual needs of the community.

meeting their spiritual needs.
“But I also saw that you can’t
give people hope by saying,
‘Cheer up, welfare will help
you out.’ There’s a spiritual
calling in these women, too.
But you can’t talk about that in
government funded programs,
and that’s what really propelled
me into applying to seminary
and pursuing that goal.”
Deb attended Colgate
Rochester Crozer Seminary,
and after graduation served
in churches in Webster, New
York, followed by First Church
in Manhattan, Springville
Presbyterian and now the United
Church of Ellicottville.
Deb sees the church as
allowing her to bring together
the physical and spiritual needs
of the community. “You won’t

mean you don’t have spiritual

“The one thing I like best
is the glazing and doing the
decorating,” she said. “But,
the potter’s wheel is a lot of
fun, too. You can press your
hands very gently and change
the shape of the clay quickly.”
The process is not quick,
though. First you start out with
moist clay and then you shape
it, dry it slowly, trim it, and
then dry it completely. At this
point it is called greenware.
Then you have to do the first
firing, which is called bisque
firing. Next you put a layer
of wax on the bottom of the
piece, and then glaze. The last
step is called the glaze firing.
During the glaze firing the kiln
reaches temperatures of 2,400
degrees Fahrenheit.
“We have about 12 glaze
firings per year,” Elliott said.
Robin Zefers Clark (Brookside

Robin went to Rochester
Institute of Technology in
Rochester, NY, where she
received her Master’s in
oil painting, but during her
coursework she took a class in
watercolor, which completely
won her heart.
In 1979 she started teaching
at Cattaraugus Elementary
School as the art teacher. In
1991 she moved up to the high

teach a variety of art classes.

storing them as fat instead of
burning them off. Stats indicate
that such a lifestyle is killing
us prematurely. Females with
waists of 35”+ and males with
waists of 40”+ run an increased
risk of heart disease. High
blood pressure and diabetes are
also linked to poor nutrition and
insufficient physical activity.
Physically inactive individuals
- those with less than 60 mins./
week of physical activity - are
at a 52% increased risk of dying
early. Meanwhile, physically
active people - those with
more than 60 mins./week of
activity - experience a 20-35%
risk reduction in premature
mortality.
Physical activity should
be “multi-mode,” according
to leading kinesiology
professional Dr. L. Kravitz.
The more different types of
physical activity we do, the
better. In fact, research shows
that people who engage in
50% less chance of suffering

Exercise should include

resistance training (R.T.) and

exercise should be performed
3-6 days/week for 20-60

moderately-high intensity. A 10

Resistance/weight training
should be done 2-3 days/week
with variations in repetitions
and weight used during 8-10
different movements. Again,
“maintenance mode” occurs
with 2 R.T. workouts per
week, while muscle toning

HELP FOR HOMEOWNERS IN FORECLOSURE
New York State Law requires that we send you this notice about the foreclosure process. Please read it
carefully.
Summon and Complaint: You are in danger of losing you home. If you fail to respond to the summons
and complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the summons and com-
plaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or local legal aid office to obtain advice on
how to protect yourself.
Source of Information and Assistance: The State encourages you to become informed about your options
in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government
agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, includ-
ing trying to work with your lender during this process.
To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Banking
Department at 1-877-226-5697 or visit the Department’s website at www.banking.state.ny.us.
Foreclosure rescue scams: Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home.
There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit form a hom-
eowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you
pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter
into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which
prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
The foregoing Summons is served upon you by publication pursuant to an order of Honorable Larry
