Dan and Diane Pawlowski and
their children, Jim and Lisa, spend

Letter To The Publisher
Ellicottville to Perform Smoke Tests Sept. 23
Ellicottville will be performing
“Smoke Tests” on the sanitary
sewer mains located within the
Village and the Town. Smoke
Testing is a technique used to
detect water inflow sources into
the sanitary sewer mains, such
as roof leaders, cellar drains,
yard drains, foundation drains,
faulty sewer connections,
illegal connections, abandoned
building sewer laterals, and
stormwater drainage system
cross connections. It will
also detect and locate leaking
joints and structural damage in
the Municipal sanitary mains
themselves.

Discount Card Launched
Cattaraugus County Introduces Prescription Drug Card for All
On September 1, 2009,
Cattaraugus County launched
a discount card program to
help consumers cope with
the high price of prescription
drugs. The county is making
free prescription drug
discount cards available
under a program sponsored
by the National Association
of Counties (NACo) that
offers average savings of 22
percent off the retail price of
commonly prescribed drugs.
The cards may be used by all
county residents, regardless of
age, income, or existing health
coverage, and are accepted
at 22 county pharmacies. A
national network of more than
59,000 participating retail
pharmacies also will honor the

festive, the crowds are “just
right” and the fun is around
every corner all weekend long.
It’s a real testament to our hard
working Ellicottville Chamber
and all the merchants in the
village. You’ll meet the nicest
people while strolling around
the village streets shopping,
enjoying the live music,
popping into a pub for a quick
bite and bevvie and looking at
all those beautiful cars. This
weekend will be a blast and
a great way to kick off our
famous fall season.
Our friendly visitors love it
here as much as we residents
do. And why not? I firmly
believe one of the main reasons
for this mutual affection is the
During these Smoke Tests,
high-capacity blowers force
smoke (which is non-toxic,
harmless, and has little odor)
through sections of the sanitary
mains between manholes. At
any location where the smoke
exits the sewer main, there is
a potential for surfacewater/
rainwater/groundwater to be
entering this main. The presence
of such “extra water” in the
sanitary mains increases the
flows reaching the Wastewater
Treatment Plant, resulting
in increased costs of sewage
treatment (and in some instances
surcharging of the Treatment
lands.
Allegany Nordic will focus its
volunteer effort on renovating
the Art Roscoe Trials at
Allegany State Park. Groomed
for cross country skiing in the
winter months, the 30 km Art
Roscoe system is one of the
most beautiful trail networks in
the northeast.
Trail volunteers will meet at
the summit trailhead at 8:45am
on Sept. 26. Recurrent drainage
problems and vegetation
cutbacks will be addressed.
Volunteers should bring shovels,
pick axes and clippers.
Besides the work that
Allegany Nordic will carry
card.
“Cattaraugus County is
proud to be one of the counties
nationwide participating with
NACo,” said Cherianne Wold.
“The NACo prescription
discount card offers significant
savings for the uninsured and
underinsured residents of our
county. Even those fortunate
to have prescription coverage
can use the card to save money
on drugs that are not covered
by their health plan. Residents
do not have to be Medicare
beneficiaries to be eligible for
this program.”
Best of all, there is no
cost to county taxpayers
for NACo and Cattaraugus
County to make these money-
saving cards available to our
residents.

Chamber Seeking Available Options; Requests Your Input
Health insurance open
enrollment for Chamber
members will soon be upon
us. We are very aware that
affordable health insurance
with lots of choices is hard
to come by these days. The
health insurance companies,
Blue Cross Blue Shield and
Independent Health, dictate
to all Chambers what they
are allowed to offer in terms
of plans and drug coverage,
including mandatory mail order
for maintenance drugs.
Over the past several months,
we have been seeking out
other available options. Both
the Olean and Wellsville
Chambers have decided to offer
their health insurance through
independent brokerage firms
not governed by the same
policies that the Chambers are.
The Ellicottville Chamber has
also met with these brokers to
see what plans and rates they
can offer. Unfortunately, due
to lack of competition and
government regulations, rates
these days are what they are but
options on plans such as drug
coverage can vary.
We would really love some
input from our members. If you
currently have a plan through
us, please call the office and let
us know your likes and dislikes
about the plan you are on,
including your experiences with
mandatory mail order. If you
don’t have insurance through
us, we would love to hear from
you, too! Let us know what
your needs are for insurance and
what we could offer to get you
signed up and covered. Please
call Heather at 699-5046 with
your comments and concerns
as soon as possible. We need to
make a decision within the next
two weeks in order to have new
options for open enrolment in
December.

knowledge of green homes and buildings and issues of
sustainability in relation to real estate.
More specifically, Mary was trained in understanding
what makes a property green, helping clients evaluate
the cost/benefits of green building features and practices,
distinguishing between industry rating and classification
systems, listing and marketing green homes and buildings,
discussing the financial grants and incentives available to
homeowners, and helping consumers see a property’s green
potential.
“As energy costs rise along with concern for the
environment, homeowners are looking for innovative ways
to save money and live responsibly,” said Dick Gaylord, Mary Vahl
NAR’s immediate past president. NAR’s Green Designation ERA Vacation Properties
was developed in response to growing consumer awareness
of the benefits of resource-efficient homes and buildings. The designation helps consumers who
care about energy efficiency and sustainable building practices identify Realtors who can help them
realize their green real estate and lifestyle goals.
As an NAR Green Designee, Mary has gained the knowledge and the tools necessary to become a
trusted green resource for Cattaraugus County. For more information about Mary Vahl, please visit

Fall Festival Reminder

Important Information for Shops on Monroe Street
Just a reminder to shops on
Monroe Street that during Fall
Festival a ten by ten space is
left open in the front of each
business doorway. This is
done due to the fact that all
of the vendors’ booths are set
up against the curb so a 20 ft.
minimum fire lane may be left
down the middle of the street.
These openings, which may by
occupied by the Monroe street
businessowner ONLY, are left
open by the Chamber as an
access to each of your stores
since the vendor tents block
the view of you door from
the street. Also, merchants on
Washington Street may use the
space directly outside of their
storefront to set up a table and
sell merchandise from their
store ONLY, as long as the set-up
only goes out from the front of
the building as far as the center
sidewalk crack. As per the
Village permit committee, no
merchant is allowed to occupy
or rent out the space past the
crack which includes the grass
area bordering Washington

r E’VILLE - This November

shows, when Mike Randall
discovered that Charles Dickens
performed in Buffalo in 1868 he
decided to recreate Mr. Dickens’
presentation of his most well
known story “A Christmas
Carol.”
What Randall finds most
intriguing about Dickens and
his Readings is the way the
author threw himself into the
performances, not just reading
the words but becoming the
characters on stage. At one
time Charles Dickens had
almost become a professional
actor. Even when he pursued
writing instead, he continued
to produce and perform in
“amateur theatricals.” His close
actor friends claimed repeatedly
that Dickens could easily have
made a successful career on the
stage. The Dickens Readings
were not only an outlet for this
amateur actor, but they became
an absorbing, entertaining Tour
de Force, a blending of author/
actor creating wonderful magic
on stage.
Many people recognize Mike
as the meteorologist who covers
the weather duties for WKBW-
TV in Buffalo each weeknight.

Pfeiffer Nature Center Taking Part in an International Movement
PORTVILLE - Pfeiffer
Nature Center invites you to
take part in connecting children
to the natural world as part of
a growing nationwide effort
geared to getting young people
off the couch, unplugged from
technology, and enjoying
the outdoors in their local
community.
“Take a Child Outside week”
is a program which urges all
citizens to participate in outdoor
activities from September
24-30, 2009. Take A Child
Outside week is designed to
help break down obstacles that
keep children from discovering
the natural world, and to arm
parents, teachers and other
caregivers with resources
and recreational activities for
exploring local habitats.
Pfeiffer Nature Center has
planned activities to bring
children outside into nature. On
the Take A Child Outside website
(www.takeachildoutside.org)
you can make a pledge to
take a child outside and help
them experience the natural
world. Pfeiffer Nature Center
is providing free guided nature
walks Sept. 24 and 28, at 1974
Lillibridge Road in Portville
from 4-5pm and Sept. 26
at 1420 Yubadam Road in
Portville from 9-10am to help
people fulfill their pledges.
Families can explore animal
tracks, life in the leaf litter, and
towering trees on our walks.
There will also be a “Know
the Night” evening fee-based
program on Saturday, Sept. 26
from 7:30-9:30pm.
Our goal is to help children
develop a better understanding
and appreciation of the
environment in which they live,
increase their scientific literacy
and provide direct exposure
to nature through natural play.
So get involved, come join us
during Take a Child Outside
week!
Pfeiffer Nature Center believes
children want to embrace and
explore their world. This
exploration shapes their lifelong
relationship with their parents
and the environment. Stress
reduction, greater physical
health, a deeper sense of spirit,
more creativity, a sense of play,
even a safer life are the benefits
for a family when it invites
nature into their lives.
If you are interested in
participating in our activities,
please contact Susan at 716-
933-0187 or write naturalist@
pfeiffernaturecenter.org.
Take a Child Outside week

dangers of cancer to men in

“That’s one of the reasons I
started this thing, the fact that
I think we can create more

Upgrades Planned for Regional Rail Line in Olean
BY NICHOLAS PIRCIO

Plans are in the works to
upgrade the railroad lines

get the job done.
The Southern Tier West

involved heavily in economic
development. We provide
training services and direct
services to one hundred thirty
local governments in a three
county region, covering
Allegany, Cattaraugus, and
Chautauqua Counties.”
There are nine comparable
organizations in New York
State. “We’re involved in
transportation, the railroad
being just one piece of that.”
Rychnowski explained that
rail transportation matters are
being guided by the Southern
Tier Extension Railroad
Authority. “They are very
active, meeting most often
monthly” during the year.
The Authority owns property
for the railroad, which it
purchased for one dollar. The
line stretches from Corry,
Pennsylvania to Hornell,
New York, approximately
one hundred fifty miles of rail
line. “When the property was
purchased, only forty miles of it
men’s cancer issues and raise
much needed funding for
research, the Richard J. Eaton
Foundation is holding their 1st
annual Turning Double Bogies
into Birdies Golf Tournament
on September 27 at the Holiday
Valley Golf Course.
Curiously enough, golf was
not Dick’s first love. Attending
Olean High School, he played
linebacker on the football team.
He won a football scholarship
to the University of Richmond
where, as a junior, he and a
friend used to sneak onto the
back nine of a local country
club. It was these surreptitious
rounds that gave him the golf
bug. As a result, his friend
suggested they join the golf
team, and as Dick tells me, “I
said ‘you’ve got to be crazy,
neither of us are any good!’
Well, it turns out our golf team
was worse than we were. We
both made the golf team!”
Marriage and family followed
and eventually, due to his
father’s illness Dick moved his
four kids and wife back to the
area.
“I started coming up to
Holiday Valley, met Skip Yahn
and Dennis Eshbaugh, and the
next thing I know they hired
me as Summer Programs
Director.” In 1989, during his
first year at Holiday Valley,
Dick discovered they needed a
director of golf and a pro. Of all
the duties that come with being
golf pro, teaching seems to be
Dick’s favorite part, “I love it!
That’s the fun part about it,” he
says. “I couldn’t do as much
of it as I liked, when I was at
Holiday Valley, because there
were phones to be answered,
and all kinds of meetings to go

far from the planned freight shipping center.
was operational.” Rychnowski
said within those forty miles,
only seventy-five rail cars per
year were being transported
from Jamestown to Olean.
Since that time, “we’ve been
able to rehabilitate the railroad
so that it’s all operational.”
When the Authority first
took over, rails were hanging
over the Genesee River “and
other places where there were
washouts.” Substantial funds
were needed to make the entire
rail line operational.
Currently, a good portion of
the rail line is limited to speeds
of 25 mph. Some sections in
need of additional repair are
even lower at 10 mph. “We’re
hoping with this grant to
rehab the rail line to a 40 mph
standard, which is very helpful
for businesses.”
In conjunction with the rail
line, Southern Tier West has
been looking at constructing
a “multi-modal facility,” one
that trucks can use to transfer
their loads to rail cars. It would
also allow for some indoor and
outdoor storage. Products could
be moved from the facility by
rail, “the cheapest and most
efficient way to move freight.”
Rychnowski said “we are
lucky to have this freight line
available in the Southern Tier.”
Local business customers who
use the Southern Tier rail line
have increased from one to
about twenty-five, since the
Rail Authority took over. They

to.”
In the years since his
retirement in 2002, Dick has
continued teaching golf as a
private instructor, sometimes
teaching 200 plus lessons a
year. In looking back he seems
most satisfied with helping
young golfers move into
professional standing. “I have
had youngsters that worked
for me here at Holiday Valley;
three of them went on to be
golf professionals ... that’s the
real satisfaction.”
Even after 16 months of
radiation and chemotherapy,
Dick has the restless energy
of a man on a mission. Since
starting the foundation he
has been going nonstop,
setting ambitious goals for the
foundation. “I see us doing
seven to ten (fundraising
tournaments) in Western New
York next year,” and then, “I
see it going nationally very
shortly.” Future tournaments
will be organized through the
United States Golf Teachers’
Federation (USGTF) of which
Dick is a member.
He emphasizes the money
will be put to good use. “Our
board is investigating getting
research people to come
to our board meetings, and
explaining to us: do they need
money, what the money will
be spent for and what we can
do with awareness.” Dick
freely admits that he’s hoping
to have the same impact with
male golfers that the Susan B.
Komen Foundation has had
among women. “We’re going
to be touching the golf industry
with this right away. I just see
it continuing to mushroom and
grow.”
also have a lot of “overhead
traffic,” where other rail lines
move their goods over the line.
“This makes rail more feasible
in terms of its operating costs.”
Rychnowski said companies
are being encouraged to
streamline their trucking
operations, because of the
cost of gas and diesel fuel.
He noted that Dresser-Rand
has issues “because of the
largeness of their product,”
but said those issues are being
addressed. “They are in a very
limited sense shipping some of
their product by rail now.”
Most of the property for the
multi-modal facility is in the
city of Olean, with a small
portion being in the towns
of Olean and Allegany. “The
ultimate plan is to start off
very small and incrementally
build on the first phase of this
process.” The goal would be to
get a designation as an inland
port from New York City. This
would allow product to be
shipped directly from the Port
of New York to Olean, and
then distributed from Olean
to the rest of the country.
Making improvements at the
Olean rail yard “will attract
shippers.” This in turn should
increase railroad employment
for handling and monitoring
purposes.
Currently, the Rail Authority
is applying for a “TIGER”

Truth Or Consequences
BY DOUG ARROWSMITH
I didn’t particularly care for the
last presidential administration.
The ghouls that haunted the halls
of Beltway power during the
Bush reign disgusted me. Their
very hold on power was based,
generally, on lies. They lied and
the brave men and women of
our armed forces were marched
off to fight a war that didn’t need
to be fought. They lied and the
oil companies became bloated
with ill-gotten wealth. They lied
and our financial institutions
became Monopoly boards
where money was tossed around
playfully by a small handful of
megalomaniacs. They lied and
fifty years of environmental
regulation was disposed of like
yesterday’s dreams. They lied.
But not once during Bush’s
tenure, did one of his colleagues
stand up while the president
was speaking, and call him
a liar. Bush should consider
himself lucky. He served out
his term just before the death of
American civility.
Which, of course, brings me
to Rep. Joe Wilson. Wilson, in
case you missed it, was the goon
The Death of Civility
and political hack that shouted
out “you lie” during last week’s
Presidential address to a joint
session of congress. President
Obama was in the middle of
disputing one of the many myths
circulating concerning health
care reform when Wilson was
overcome by a fit of impotent
rage. The dispute in question
concerned health care coverage
for illegal immigrants. Every
proposed bill has been available
for anyone to read. Every section
of every bill! None of them
guarantee anything for illegal
immigrants. If they did, Obama
would have never mentioned
them in front of the very body
who’s job it is to read and review
them. In fact, several sections,
including the much-discussed
section 246, specifically deny
coverage to anyone who cannot
provide proof of citizenship.
Wilson, somewhere deep in his
redneck conscience, knows this
but is unable to grasp it. He’s
not alone.
When did civility die? Good
question. We, as Americans,
have never been known for our
politeness. We’re a pushy bunch
driven by our history as a young
nation. Until recently, we’ve
always been on the receiving
end of the rest of the world’s
scorn. There’s a new type of
rudeness brewing these days.
The rudeness of race. Wilson is
simply a symptom of the larger
disease. Health care reform
rage is just a different color
Klan robe. No one else will
talk about it but it seems pretty
obvious that a good portion of
white America has been driven
to rabid distraction by the fact
that an educated black man is
calling the shots. Take a look
at the giant tea bag rally that
was held in Washington DC last
weekend. Those people weren’t
even sure why they were there.
Ask a hundred people and you
got a hundred different answers.
All they knew for sure was that
Glenn Beck was there and that
was a good thing. What was,
however, plainly on display,
was racial rage. There were
doctored posters of Obama as an
African witch doctor complete
with a bone in his nose. There
were signs claiming that Obama
was a Muslim or an Indonesian
terrorist. The Birthers were
there and the John Birch society
was there. These people don’t
care what Obama says; they just
don’t want a black man saying
it.
So say goodnight to civility.
If no one else will call these
ignorant hicks out, I will. Give
it your best shot. Obama is an
American citizen. Health care
reform is not Socialism. Cash
for Clunkers worked and the
auto industry is beginning to
finally see profits again. The
stock market is, once again,
soaring. These are facts. Now,
turn Fox News on and have
a seat. Everything you hear
on that channel is a lie. The
underlying, unifying theme
behind all of those lies is race.
Listen carefully. They’ve even
gone so far as to call Obama a
racist. This sort of discourse
is not only un-American, it’s
fascist bullying by a soon-to-be
bitter minority. Civility? What
civility? These are the lies that
will haunt us.

from unused segments of
the railway that the CCIDA
would sell as salvage, which
was part of his August
proposal to the committee to
administer a fund to be used
for track emergencies and
rehabilitation.
He said he has already begun
working with FEMA to cover
the full cost of the repairs,
and said that FEMA would
reimburse the CCIDA for the
amount they give, minus a
12.5 percent local share.
The Board of Directors is
still reviewing Mr. Dingmans
request at will report back
after further discussion.
Executive Director Corey
R. Wiktor said that a public
hearing was held on the
proposed sales tax abatement
requested by HoliMont, Inc.
for their planned seasonal
upgrades and improvements,
this past Friday September
11th at the CCIDA office in
Ellicottville.
The proposal would offer
exemptions for New York State

upgrades, which include the
construction of an outdoor
grill pavilion and sundeck,
as well as improving their

the storm. Mayor Coolidge
discussed that during large
storms and floods, the creeks
have a tendency to back up.
He is looking for feedback
from the DEC regarding the
matter of cleaning the debris
and gravel from the creeks.
Constable Howard
Gifford said he will bring
in 12 additional officers for
Ellicottville’s Fall Festival,
along with the 5 officers that
will be on-hand from the
Town Police Dept. He has
begun his preparations for the
busy festival. Board member
Bob Kaine thanked Constable
Gifford for his hard work
on the event. Regarding the
alarms going off in the village,
Gifford believes there are 2/3
less calls for false alarms from
homes and businesses.
Mike Smith discussed the
wastewater treatment plant.
In regards to the engineer’s
report from the DEC, he
has identified that phase

Smoke testing on sanitary
sewer lines introduced a non-

system, snowmobiles and
safety equipment, as well as
relocating towers, buying
a new snow groomer, and
improving their terrain park.
The Board of Directors
approved the resolution
authorizing the creation of
legal documents allowing
for HoliMont’s sales tax
abatement.
The Board also reviewed an
application from Win-Sum Ski
Corp for administering New
York State Sales tax relief for
the purchase and installation
of a new detachable quad
chairlift and various pieces
of maintenance equipment,
as well the re-grading and
seeding of the lift area and the
construction of two lift houses.
Wiktor said this amounts to
about $6.5 million in capital
reinvestment by Win-Sum
this year alone. Wiktor stated,
“It is very encouraging to see
Holiday Valley continue to
reinvest into their campus.
They continue to prove why
they are one of the top ten
ski resorts in the East. We are
very lucky to have them in this
County”.
He added that installation of
the chairlift would begin this
year. The Board of Directors
accepted this application.
Wiktor also presented an

notify residents and businesses
regarding when this will take
place. There is no reason for
residents to be home during
the testing.
The Village received a
grant for $50,000 towards
construction of a new village
building. The estimated cost of
the new building is $635,000.
Village engineer Mike Smith
said that this figure is “very
conservative and artificially
high.” Assessed valuation
would be approximately 22
cents per one thousand, which
would increase taxes by
approximately 10%.
Board member Bob Kaine said
two prominent village residents
had expressed concern the
building is unnecessary and
would cause more separation
from the Village and Town.
Mayor Coolidge replied that
every single village resident
is “prominent” as far as he is
concerned and he has been
approached by people who
have been both for and against
the project. Mayor Coolidge
would like to state once again
this project has nothing to do
with the relations between the
Village and the Town. Board
member Patra Lowes brought
up the fact the town hall
could be improved rather than
building an entire new facility.
Mayor Coolidge said the
current town hall is “too small
for the direction the Village
wants to go.” Lowes didn’t

Too Busy For Church On Sundays? In an effort to accommodate the hectic schedules of the
folks in our community, Little Valey Wesleyan Church will be offering a second worship service
each week beginning on Saturday, Sept. 19th. The service will be essentially identical as the
Sunday morning service - same scripture, same message, same music, etc., except that it will be
a bit more laid-back and on Saturday evening sfrom 6:30-7:45pm. So if you are someone who
cannot or would rather not attend church on Sunday morning, give Saturday night a try at LVW.
For more information, please call Pastor Buck Hall at 716-938-6190.

HCA To Host Infant Massage Workshops: An Introduction To Infant Massage Workshop is being
offered by the Healthy Community Alliance. The workshop is one of several activities being initiated
by the Alliance’s Youth Counseling and Parent Empowerment programs through a grant from the
Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo. The workshops will be led by Peggy Filock, a certified
Infant Massage Instructor. Two dates and locations are available: Monday, Sept. 21 from 6:30-7:30pm
at the Little Valley Memorial Library, and Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 6:30-7:30pm at the Collins Library,
Main Street. The workshop is open to parents – both new and expecting – as well as grandparents.
Infant massage provides a special time of communication that fosters love, compassion, and respect.
It engages minds, improves sensory awareness and is both stimulating and relaxing. Massage can
relieve discomfort from teething, pain management, congestion, gas, and colic. After attending the
introductory workshop, participants may enroll in the four-class series. All classes are free. To register
for either session, call Peggy Filock at 716-257-9259 or 716-307-0929.
