Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects people in many ways ranging from numbness in the limbs to blindness or paralysis. There are over 12,000 people diagnosed with MS in our area alone and the upstate New York Chapter of the National MS Society tries to help every one of them. There is no known cure at present but

with your help that could change. On September 8th and 9th the National MS Society is holding a charitable ride to raise funds for this winnable fight. It will be the first time for this ride here in the hills and will be a great thing to be a part of. There are different rides of varying lengths; on Saturday participants will go for a jaunt of 50, 70 or 100 miles while on Sunday riders will only go 50 miles. Routes and

interactive maps are available at http://bikenyr.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=BIKE_NYR_Ride_Route to give you a much better idea of where and how far you could go. Rides start at 7:30am on Saturday and at 8:00am on Sunday. Forming and registering a team could not be easier. All you need is a few friends or coworkers, a willingness to make the minimum $250.00 dollar pledge and $50.00 entry fee, and

the website will walk you through the registration process. Quite a few teams have already signed up and registration is still open so its not too late. You can register from 6:00am until 8:00am on Saturday and from 6:00am until 8:30 on Sunday. The website for this event is truly user-friendly and a wealth of information is available at http://bikenyr.nationalmssociety.org/site/TR/Bike/NYRBikeEvents?fr_id=18093&pg=entry Alyssa Shoup, the Senior Campaign Manager for the upstate New York Chapter for the National MS Society, has helped organize other successful rides in the region and she is excited about this one for the scenery and enthusiasm shown already. After the rides conclude at the Holiday Valley Resort the participants will be treated to a three-course dinner that will feature awards and a bonfire afterwards. After a long day on the road a trip to the spa might be in order as well! Their fundraising goals are totally obtainable so even if you can’t ride you can help the cause by visiting their website.

bY ShaRoN tuRaNo An opportunity to experience Seneca culture will be offered Sept. 7, 8 and 9.The Seneca Nation of Indians’ annual Fall Festival will be held behind the nation’s Saylor Building on Route 438 in Irving. A parade, art show, vendors, artist demonstrations, traditional dancing, sporting events, traditional food and more will be offered at the event, which will display Seneca culture.According to the nation’s website, the Seneca Nation of Indians is one of six Native American nations that make up the Iroquois Confederacy. The nation predates the U.S. Constitution, and is the westernmost nation of that confederacy. Known as “the Keeper of the Western Door,” the nation once occupied territory throughout the Finger Lakes and Genesee Valley. Senecas relied on agriculture for food, growing the “Three Sisters,” corn, beans and

squash, and hunting and fishing. There are currently about 8,000 Senecas that continue to celebrate language, song, art, dance and sports while offering cultural, educational and economic opportunities, along with governmental services. Employing more than 3,500 people, the nation also has three casinos, convenience stores, a radio station and other business ventures. “The vibrancy of the rich Seneca heritage is evident in the ongoing ceremonies, practices and cultural events that are infused with dance, music, traditional foods that honor and celebrate Seneca culture,” reports the site. That culture will be celebrated during the fall festival. Events begin Friday, Sept. 7 at 6 p.m. with a co-ed adult softball tournament. An art show reception

Visitors are invited to experience some family fun at the area’s largest fall attraction. “Family fun is our business,” reports Pumpkinville’s website. The fall attraction will open for the season Sept. 15, run-ning through October. The 200-acre farm, the oldest original pump-kin farm in New York State, opens for fall fun annually, but some new treats await guests this year. (See article, page 11.)

It won’t be long before we’re awash in spectacular color and up to our eye balls in festivals and fun events – Pumpkinville opens in a couple of weeks, Rock N Roll weekend is right around the corner, and all sorts of autumn activities will be here before you know it. But this weekend – let’s see… Hmmm… Nope – nothing on the calendar! How could this be? Does this mean we’re actually going to be left to our own devices this weekend? We have to entertain ourselves?

Or we could do a little shopping, grab a bite to eat, do a little more shopping, go out to dinner, head down to the casino, come back and see what the nightlife holds for us. Or we could grab the camping equipment, make a quick trip to the state park and have ourselves a mini-expedition. Or we could just relax around the ol’ hacienda.

News from the E’Ville FDMonthly Update From The Ellicottville Fire Department

The month of July was an active period for the volunteers at the Ellicottville Fire Department. There were ten emergency calls and five nights of extra training offered during

the month. This included a tour of the water facilities located in the town and village led by one of the current volunteers. Several members participated in additional training outside of those offered by the department. Three members attended the swift water rescue training. This was a twenty hour, multi-day course. Students received instruction on how to perform rescues safely in rapidly moving water. After, students had the opportunity to practice the skills they had learned inside the classroom. Recently, the department received a matching grant from

the Forestry Service for $1,000. This money is to purchase equipment used in extinguishing grass fires. A common item purchased is a portable water tank that firefighters can carry on their back, allowing them to carry water to fires that are deep in the woods. Upcoming events include assisting with the Centurion Cycling weekend and a display of equipment during the Americana Festival. Remember, volunteers are always needed. Call 699-2717 and leave a message or ask a current member for an application.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., Aug. 24, 2012 — David Lanzillo, a communications executive with First Niagara Financial Group, will be the keynote speaker Friday, Sept. 21, at the 52nd annual Mark Hellinger Awards, honoring the top students in St. Bonaventure University’s journalism program. This year’s event honors Shannon Shepherd, class of 2012, a sports reporter/anchor at WSAW-TV, the CBS affiliate in Wausau, Wisc. Tyler Diedrich, ’12, will also be recognized as the Hellinger runner-up. To be held at Premier Banquet Center in Olean, the reception begins at 5:30 p.m. with dinner at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $60 per person, or $320 to sponsor a table of eight; they can be purchased online at www.sbu.edu/hellinger. Sponsorship includes recognition in the program. Students interested in attending the event are eligible for tickets. A notice with further ticket information will be sent to students. Also honored will be Bryan Jackson, ’12, winner of the Buffalo News Entrepreneurial Reporting Award, and John Hanchette, ’64, the Alumnus of the Year of the Russell J. Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Hanchette, a Puliter Prize-winning reporter, retired in May after teaching 10 years in the Jandoli School. Lanzillo, senior vice president for corporate communications at First Niagara, is a communications executive with

Annual Hellinger AwardsShepherd, Diedrich, Jackson and Hanchette To Be Honored

nearly 30 years of experience in marketing, advertising, and corporate communications, A 1984 alumnus, he is responsible for overseeing First Niagara’s corporate media relations, internal and executive communication, community relations and social media strategy. He joined First Niagara in 2011 from Eastman Kodak Company, where he was chief global media strategist and spokesperson during much of the company’s historic business transformation. He’s also worked at World Kitchen Inc. and Corning Inc. Lanzillo and his wife, Jackie, ’84, live in the Rochester suburb of Victor. Their daughter, Victoria, is a sophomore at St. Bonaventure, double-majoring in theater and journalism and mass communication. Shepherd’s love of St. Bonaventure basketball, the guidance of instructor Paul Wieland, and the availability of a remote TV production course allowed her to hone her skills in writing and live reporting. By her junior year, she was the primary men’s basketball sideline reporter and women’s basketball color commentator for SBU-TV Sports. As a senior, Shepherd created a gobonnies.com mini-series called “Out of Bounds with Shannon Shepherd,” featuring video profiles of athletes from every St. Bonaventure sport. Shepherd also partnered with the Athletics Department and created highlight packages after basketball games and traveled to many road games, including

the men’s and women’s Atlantic 10 Championships and their NCAA Tournament games. Shepherd also interned with sports departments at network TV affiliates in Buffalo and Washington, D.C. Shepherd received the Bob Koop Award for Broadcasting Excellence along with the Hellinger Award at graduation in May, and on Sept. 20 will accept the Tim Russert Medal of Merit from the Buffalo Broadcasters Association, the third straight year a St. Bonaventure student has won the award. Shepherd is a native of Ashburn, Va., but has deep roots in Western New York. Much of her family lives in Angola and she has spent many summers on the shores of Lake Erie working at her family’s restaurant, Connors Hot Dog Stand. She is the 22nd member of her extended family to graduate from St. Bonaventure. Diedrich, now a news producer at WHAM-TV in Rochester, spent five semesters as an editor at The Bona Venture, including three in its sports department and the last as editor in chief. He also worked three semesters for SBU-TV’s news and sports programs, serving as a reporter, producer, anchor and basketball play-by-play announcer. The Hilton native became St. Bonaventure’s ninth Jim Murray Scholar in 2011 after a profile on his adviser, Paul Wieland, earned him one of five national $5,000 scholarships. He won the 2012 Jandoli Award at May graduation and earned honorable mention to Shepherd for the Koop Award. A member of Kappa Tau Alpha and Phi Eta Sigma national honor societies, Diedrich interned with the Buffalo Bills in 2010 and WROC-TV in Rochester in 2011.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., August 24, 2012 — Stephanie Lauricella and Samuel Levine, winners of the St. Bonaventure Performance Prize at the 2012 Liederkranz Competition, will open the Friends of Good Music concert season at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 7, at St. Bonaventure University’s Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. Lauricella and Levine will perform a program titled “From New York to Buffalo.” They will be accompanied by Elizabeth Hastings, music director of the Liederkranz Foundation. Since 1960, the Liederkranz Competition has brought important young singers to audiences around the country, said Ludwig Brunner, interim executive director of the Quick Center, who has served as a preliminary judge of the Liederkranz Competition for the last 12 years. “It is not an easy choice to make after hearing more than 300 talented young singers, but I am confident that we have chosen two of the most outstanding young singers to receive the St. Bonaventure Performance Prize,” said Brunner. “They are off to international careers and are poised to charm their audiences with their beautiful voices and winning personalities. It is with great satisfaction that we support them on their path to reach the heights of their careers.”

Award Winning OpenersClassical Singers Open The Friends of Good Music Season at SBU

Lauricella, mezzo-soprano, has performed with the Pittsburgh Opera and the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Sarasota Opera, Opera San Jose, the New Jersey State Opera and was a resident artist of the Santa Fe Festival. She performed at the prestigious Glimmerglass Opera Festival this summer, and in the 2012-13 season will make her European debut in joining the Geneva (Switzerland) Opera for several productions. She has won numerous awards and received a master of music degree in vocal performance from the Manhattan School of Music. Levine, a tenor, is a graduate of the Yale Opera Studio and made his international debut at the 2009 Wexford Festival in Ireland. He has performed with Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Chicago Opera Theater, at the Aspen Music Festival, and was a resident artist of the Santa Fe Festival. Upcoming engagements include performances at the Arizona Opera, Opera Fort Collins and at the Gotham Chamber Opera in New York City. Levine was a vocal fellow at the Tanglewood Festival under the direction of James Levine. He studied at Oberlin College Conservatory of Music and Yale University. Hastings returns to The Quick Center for her seventh appearance after conducting the

very successful performances of the opera double bill “The Three Hermits” and “Hester Prynne at Death” by Stephen Paulus in 2008. She is the music director of the Liederkranz Foundation and Opera Theatre and has been a guest conductor for many opera companies. She is also a sought-after coach and accompanist in New York City. During the first half of the program, Lauricella and Levine will sing opera arias including their prize winning arias from the Liederkranz Competition. Following intermission, they will perform a selection of musical theater and cabaret-style songs from the New York stages in opening the Quick Center’s theme for the upcoming season: Celebrate New York! This performance is supported in part by the New York State Council on the Arts. Subscription tickets for the entire Friends of Good Music season are still available. A basic subscription, which includes one ticket to six concerts, is $99, with a discounted fee of $81 for senior citizens. Extended subscriptions are also available: seven concerts for $109 ($89 for senior citizens) and eight concerts for $119 ($97 for senior citizens). Single concert tickets are also available at $20 per person (full price), $16 for senior citizens and $5 for St. Bonaventure staff and students. For subscriptions, single tickets and information, call The Quick Center at (716) 375-2494.

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., August 24, 2012 — After four years of coordinated effort and countless hours of research, the true work now begins as Dr. Xiao-Ning Zhang, assistant professor of biology at St. Bonaventure University, launches a collaborative bioinformatics project with colleagues at the universities of Maryland and Iowa. Dr. Zhang is part of a team of biologists and computer scientists awarded a $1.2 million grant from the Division of Advances in Biological Informatics of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop a tool that will enhance the workflow and aid in discovery for biologists. The research team is developing an automated tool that will create relationship patterns for genes of interest using annotation data from public repositories. “Our goal is to help biologists shorten their time when looking through decades’ worth of literature and extracting association patterns for the area they are interested in,” said Zhang. “The tool we are developing relies on The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR, www.arabidopsis.org), and will help TAIR become more accurate and abundant.” Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant in the mustard family, is the first plant species which genome has been sequenced, Zhang explained. There are millions of research papers on Arabidopsis captured in various repositories. Sifting through the literature to look for interesting patterns among a dozen genes can take an extraordinary amount of time. This is especially true if a biologist is looking at an area that they not very familiar with. “The tool we are developing can quickly reveal patterns hidden in annotation data and help the scientist visualize

Science Grant ReceivedXiao-Ning Zhang of SBU receives National Science Foundation Grant

relationships among genes within seconds,” said Zhang. “We are trying to find various ways to meet different needs. For instance, some scientists want to explore patterns for genes in the area that they have never studied before, while others want to study further on genes they already know. So we are developing different methods to make the tool more powerful.” The tool being developed and refined is called PattArAn, which reflects Patt(erns in) Ar(abidopsis) An(notations), and is a suite of tools to analyze and visualize patterns generated from annotation datasets. “My role is to contribute the biology portion of the research, to integrate the project into my teaching and help with the dissemination,” said Zhang, who will develop and test teaching material within an upper-level biology course – Plant Development and Physiology. At its core, the project will help expose St. Bonaventure students to diverse research opportunities and will offer significant educational experiences. “The whole idea is to help students broaden their view,” said Zhang. “It will help students see how fast biology can advance when embracing math and computer science. I hope it will stimulate interests in interdisciplinary trainings among our students.” The broader impact of the project is the direct contribution to the Arabidopsis thaliana community through the resultant datasets and tools. In addition, the development of the PattArAn tool can be applied to studies in other information resources, such as clinical resources on drugs and diseases, health informatics resources, etc. The NSF award is for a period of three years,

beginning September 1, 2012. Involved in the joint effort along with Dr. Zhang are Dr. Louiqa Raschid, professor of information systems at the University of Maryland, and Dr. Padmini Srinivasan, professor of computer science at the University of Iowa. Collaboration for the project first began in the fall of 2008 when Dr. Raschid initiated the idea. “NSF is a federal foundation which adheres to rigorous peer review standards. The Foundation’s award of the grant — and in this amount — speaks volumes about the strong peer recognition Dr. Zhang and her colleagues have earned,” said Dr. Wolfgang Natter, dean of St. Bonaventure’s School of Arts and Sciences. “I am delighted for her and her colleagues, and equally, our SBU students who, thanks to this award and to Dr. Zhang’s dedication to her students, will be afforded the opportunity to participate in a cutting-edge classroom of interdisciplinary science discovery.” This is the second NSF grant achieved by Dr. Zhang. The first project, “RUI: Cloning and Characterization of Opened Immature Flower,” will conclude in 2013. A native of Tianjin, China, Zhang earned undergraduate and master’s degrees in biology from Nanjing University and a doctorate in biology from Fudan University, both in China. She also earned a master’s degree in Applied Healing Arts from Tai Sophia Institute in Maryland. She is an assistant professor of biology and serves as director of the Biochemistry Program at St. Bonaventure. “This is an exciting project and a great service to the plant research community,” Zhang said of the collaboration. “I am very fortunate to be doing what I love to do.”

Anastasia, does go around on the sanctioned circuit. He’s a local resident who took first place last year for best ribs in the county. He’ll return this year to defend his title in what Smith considers to be a good field of competitors. “He’s a great guy and a gracious winner.” Event registrations for the barbecue, the wine and homebrew competition, and craft and food vendors will be taken until September 6th, two days before the event. “The more we have (at the event), the merrier. We’d love to have anybody who thinks they can have a good time and possibly

win. Join us!” Smith notes the United Way has some good friends in the homebrew winemaking industry, who have helped support marketing efforts for the Festival. “There’s a great community in our area that like to make their own home brew and wine, so we are opening that up again this year. It’s a free entry at this point.” You do have to have at least 32 ounces of a wine. It can be dry, sweet, or a fruit variety. The winner of the winemaker’s competition is a $100 prize. For the homebrew, people can bring in ales and stouts, and kits can be used. The winner in that category also receives a $100 cash prize. All of the judging at the event takes place at 3:00 p.m., “And we have a good group of judges on the panel. This year on the rib judging we have Dr. Watkins from the Health Department who is returning, and we have D.J. Butchello , whose family is well known for their culinary skills. We have (Olean) Mayor Witte as a celebrity judge panelist.” This year’s Festival has also added a dice run. The person with the highest-rolling dice count is going to win a 32-inch flat screen TV. The “most honest” team with the lowest dice count is going to get to be part of the

judge panel for the rib contest. There is a $10 charge per rider to enter the Dice Run. Registration is at 10:00 a.m., with the run to begin at 11:00. They’ll make a large sweep around the county before their return to Olean. WPIG Radio has joined the Festival by entering a team in the rib cook-off led by Brad Majors, and will donate an $1100-value Traeger Texas-style smoker grill to the best rib winner in the United Way contest. “That’s a huge prize and we’re definitely very appreciative.” Smith says the grill has helped has increased the interest and registrations for the event. The event is free to spectators, who are encouraged to come to the park across from Bradner Stadium to enjoy the entertainment. Local Boy Scouts will lead the opening ceremony. The Kokomo Time Band will do a Beach Boys type show. Local students will be showing off their talents, as well as an Irish dancing group, and an area Barbershop group. And kids can bounce all day at the free bounce house! It’s all being made possible through the sponsorship of Five Star Bank. Details about the Swine, Wine and Craft Festival can be found at www.uwcattco.org.

The winner with the pig tro-phy from last year is Shawn Anastasia.

As one of America’s favorite food festivals, The National Buffalo Wing Festival has a tradition of getting bigger every year. But, for 2012, it’s not just the crowds that will “swell” in size…it’s also the Chicken Wings. The festival has secured 80,000 pounds of jumbo size wings from Wayne Farms. This will almost double the size of the wings used over the past few years. Founder Drew Cerza, better known as the “Wing King”, is promising to serve “jumbo”, roaster-sized chicken wings at this years festival…scheduled for Labor Day weekend, September 1st and 2nd at Buffalo, NY’s Coca-Cola Field. They will be prepared by more than 30 local and national restaurants and food vendors…all there to provide festival-goers with what has become America’s number one “finger food”, along with other “Buffalo Style” foods. As always, the United States Chicken Wing Eating Championship will be a highlight of the 2012 “Wing Fest” as World Champion Sonya Thomas attempts to defend her title and extend her consecutive win streak to

five. Sonya’s competitors will include Joey Chestnut, the number one ranked competitive eater in the world. Contests have always been part of the festival fun, and your other favorites will also be back this year, including the “Sauce-off” competitions, amateur Chicken Wing Eating challenge, the famous “Bobbing for Wings”, also known as the “Blue Cheese Bowl”, the Miss Buffalo Wing Pageant, the Baby Wing contest. Yancey’s Fancy will host two contests including the Cheesiest Couple event. New for 2012, however, are three very special events that are sure to thrill the tens of thousands of spectators in attendance. They include a pro football eating challenge, featuring Buffalo Bill players Eric Wood and Andy Levitre to raise money for the Food bank of WNY, a “Battle of the Border” competition with teams from the U.S. and Canada, and a “College Cup” wing-eating competition of teams from UB, Buffalo State and Canisius College. This year’s entertainment lineup includes Terry Buckwald, Pirate Dreams,

Lee Ron Zydeco, the Eric Van Houten Band, S.B. Reeves Outfit and 90 West. This will also be the first year that the festival has its own house band, The Heavenly Chillbilles, on the main contest stage. They will also perform a blues concert at the end of each day of the festival. Introducing all of the contests and attractions and performing his own amazing quiz show will be Master of Ceremonies Dennis George, the “Quiz Master”. For children, the always-popular “Kid Zone” will be “up and running” throughout the festival. Having raised more than a quarter of a million dollars for local charities over the past decade, the 2012 National Buffalo Wing Festival will again give back to the community. This year’s beneficiaries include the Alzheimers Association, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Food Bank of WNY, and Meals on Wheels. It also takes many sponsors to make this great event possible, and this year’s are Yancey’s Fancy, Snyder’s Pretzels, Wayne Farms, RuChDa Wings, Buffalo Bisons, Barber Foods, Hart Hotels, Frank’s RedHot, Marie’s Blue Cheese, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, and Wing Dings. Festival hours are 12:00 to 9pm on Saturday and 12:00 to 7pm on Sunday. Admission tickets are just $5.00 per day, and children 8 and under are admitted for FREE.

It’s not enough to say Edna Northrup is a woman of many accomplishments. Her list of achievements is impressive, she has: climbed to the base camp of Mt. Everest, hiked the length of the Appalachian Trail, scaled the 111 highest peaks on the East Coast, established her own business, and is a lifelong avid skier. A mere list of her attainments captures nothing of her zest for life, and adventurous spirit. Edna was born in Buffalo in 1925, and her love for skiing developed at an early age. Her first trips to Ellicottville revolved around skiing. She recalls using the rope tow on Greer Hill and skiing Fish Hill. It was through skiing that she meet Dr. Bill Northrup, whose family was already well established in town. Bill helped to establish the Ellicottville Ski Club, and Edna recalls he was working of the roof the original building, when word came the Japanese had attacked Perl Harbor. Bill went off to serve in the war, and when he returned he and Edna were married. Together they had six children: Cindy, Christine, John, Penny, and Bonnie. Bonnie died in infancy, Cindy was killed in an auto accident in 1977 and in 1997 Bill Sr. died. Despite those heartaches, she continues

to move through the world with energy and enthusiasm. Edna soon found herself with a different sort of challenge. Son John convinced her to run for Mayor of the Village of Ellicottville. So popular and well known that no one ever ran against her, she served in the office for eight years, and probably could have continued indefinitely, but “I decided it was time to do some of the things I wanted to do and had the time,” she says. Then in her 70’s she might have done what most people of that vintage do; take up painting or gardening. But, Edna launched into hiking with her usual enthusiasm. Over the course of four years she hiked the entire length of the Appalachian Trail; ending up at the 10,000 foot peak of Mt. Katahan in Maine. Her next accomplishment was to reach the summit of the 111 highest peaks on the East Coast. When the paltry peaks of the East Coast proved too easy, Edna set her sights on the big one. Everest. With a son, a daughter and a group of friends in tow, she set out for the base camp. “We thought it was maybe 25 miles in and out. But it turned out to 50 miles in and 50 miles out,” she says with a laugh. “We were only allowed to stay at the base camp for two hours.” The base camp is at 18,000 feet, and only the most seasoned high altitude

climbers are allowed to go to the summit. Still, at that height most people need oxygen, but not Edna. The group hiked down, and spent the night sleeping at 16,000 feet. “It was quite and experience,” she now recalls. That was two years ago. She was 84. Since 1996 she has run her own business as an independent associate with USANA Health Sciences, a manufacturer and distributor of nutritional supplements. Now, sitting on the porch of her log cabin that overlooks a pond, she looks back on her many years of living in the Village and seems satisfied with the evolution of the place. “Watching this town grow has really been something” she says. “This town has a vitality. Young people come here,” she adds. Looking back on the early times she says there were, “lots of children, it was a wonderful place to raise a family. It was a little Village with lots of families. It’s a little different now but it’s still a special place.” She acknowledges the contribution skiing has made to her life and to the town, “skiing has been a wonderful part of Ellicottville.” Currently she’s off on a sojourn to Maine to visit her daughter. Next Summer she plans on taking her camper and driving to Alaska to “touch base” with some old friends. It seems there’s no stopping her.

Just a short way out in the country is a home on just over three acres that feels a bit like an old country estate. Large mature trees grace the home with shade, and provide a cooling breeze. In the back the property borders a cornfield and looks out to the nearby hills. An old green apple tree frames the view. Towards the rear of the lot a barn contains

an ATV and other grown-up toys. Inside the home has been restored with loving care. In the living room the original bay window has been preserved. It looks out to the field across the road. Here, and as well as in the dining room the floors are hardwood cherry. They are simply gorgeous, and give the home a refined and graceful touch. The dining room is large enough to hold a traditional dining table. Off the end of the dining room

an old porch was walled in to provide and office (read man-cave) for the gentleman of the house. The kitchen is large enough to accommodate a breakfast counter. The dark wood cabinets are set off by the light green counter-tops and tile backslash. The master bedroom is on the main floor. It features a large-walk in closet. Located in Great Valley this home offers the best of both worlds, a quite country setting, (several farm stands are just down the road) and yet still close to the “big city” of Ellicottville with golf, skiing, shops and restaurants. It’s a country manor in the heart of Western New York. For more information about this property contact Amy DeTine Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker at ERA Team VP, and HoliMont ERA 716-583-3769.

Editorial:

Truth Or ConsequencesAn Empty Sentiment

Doug Arrowsmith

We Americans are a mixed bag. We love certain things and we hate certain things. We are Black, White, Red and every color of the human rainbow. We are Left, Right and indifferent. We are Christian, Muslim, Jewish and Atheist. We are united in our diversity. Americans aren’t however any one thing in particular. The idea that every single American could possibly share the same opinion, especially politically or philosophically, is in itself, absurd and un-American. Which brings me to a particular group of Un-American yard signs that have been popping up around good old Cattaraugus County lately. “Americans Against Obama.” An empty sentiment on cardboard. Brilliant. Alright fine. First, as an actual American, let me begin by telling you that these good folks are and should always be free to wave any flag, carry any sign and express any sentiment, no matter how flatulent. This is a nation, as I said, of differing opinions. Sometimes drastically differing opinions. I understand that there is a large population of Americans who truly dislike our

current President. Surprisingly, most polls suggest that the number of people who strongly disagree with the President is about the same as the number of folks who strongly disagreed with former President Bush just before the end of his first term. Just under half. Meaning of course that a slim majority of Americans actually agree with the policies of the Obama administration. Numbers like these are surprisingly consistent during mid-term presidential elections. These numbers, incidentally, concern only registered voters. The rest of the country, the true and unfortunate majority, is a conundrum. So why then do I consider the “Americans Against Obama” signs to be an empty sentiment? Well, I’m an American and I’m not against the President. I may not agree with all of his policies but I still plan on voting for him. These signs seem to suggest, just by their wording alone, that all Americans are, or at least should be, “against Obama.” This was either done purposefully, arrogantly or accidentally. Perhaps the signs were supposed to read “An American Against Obama.” Maybe “Some Americans Against Obama.” Maybe these folks belong to a group called “Americans Against Obama.” It would be nice to believe one of those scenarios. No one would be arrogant enough to suggest that all Americans were against anything as a whole. Right? Well there is one group I can think of that seems to believe that it speaks for everybody. One group that seems to have devolved into a state of outright lying. One group that has become the empty propaganda wing of the Conservative

movement. Who might this group be? Tea anyone? Of course it’s the Tea Party! Remember them? Who else would it be? The group who’s candidates keep getting caught up in debates about “legitimate rape.” The group that started out nobly enough but became so arrogant and trapped by it’s own airtime that it didn’t even notice it had been taken over by Washington insiders and corporate carpet-baggers. Our local branch of the “Little Party that Couldn’t” printed up a bunch of misleading and insulting signs and decided that it would provoke itself back to relevance. In New York State of all places. The state that is and will always be bluer than the sky on a sunny July afternoon. Anyway. The signs, insulting as they may be, are nothing more than empty sentiment. Their own wording renders them irrelevant. Americans aren’t against Obama. Some Americans are but, come November, they’ll have to pack up their little party and go back to the drawing board. They’ll have four more years to come up with something better than “We’ll Settle for Romney.” Ironically enough, I kind of like the signs. I’ve always been the agitator and I admire anyone who takes a stand against something they consider unjust. Take a reasonable stand though. You cant simply yell fire in a crowded theatre and expect everyone to see a fire. Yelling Socialist without backing it up is just a word. Just another empty sentiment. “An American Against Obama” would be a bold statement. Take responsibility. Show some backbone. Don’t hide behind the group.

Candida Albicans is part of a large classification of organisms known as fungi. Traditionally, fungi are considered plants, but they contain no chlorophyll and cannot make their own food. Fungi are found in the air we breathe as well as in moist, shady soil, water, manure, dead leaves, fruit, leftover food, and in a wide variety of other places and circumstances. Candida Albicans prefers the human body. It is one of the many types of microorganisms found in our digestive system. According to Laurence Smith C.N.H.C, a Natural Health Educator, Candida Albicans is one of the most common yeast and cannot thrive by itself outside the body. Virtually everyone has intestinal candida colonies. Under normal circumstances, the yeasts live in harmony with us through a delicate balance of bacterial types. Candida is a parasite in the human body that eats nutrients found in the digestive tract. Candida produces over 70 known toxins as a by- product of their digestive process (Stanley Weinberger, C.M.T). Candida overgrowth is the state of having more harmful bacteria and yeast than beneficial bacteria. This is called Candidiasis or Yeast Syndrome. In a healthy system, there is approximately 1 yeast cell for every 1 million probiotic cells. In this small ratio, yeast is constantly fighting to survive. Unfortunately this ratio has become imbalanced, and candida can grow quickly and significantly in number. When this balance is upset, many negative health effects may take place. Candida overgrowth damages

the digestive tract and may cause auto-intoxication, the process where the body pollutes itself. As candida multiplies, it releases powerful poisons which circulate in the bloodstream, causing all kinds of symptoms and disorders. Louise Tenny, M.H. says in her book “Candida Albicans, A Nutritional Approach”, that Candida can also produce a type of false estrogen which signals that there is enough estrogen, and production is consequently inhibited. Similar phenomena can occur with the thyroid gland, resulting in menstrual irregularities and hypothyroid problems. Other research shows that Candida also produces an alcohol called ethanol. Ethanol grows rapidly when yeast has a food source, such as high blood sugar. In severe cases, it produces more than the liver can detoxify and eliminate. Eating refined foods and carbohydrates can impair our immune systems by inhibiting our ability to assimilate nutrients, changing the balance of our intestinal flora and providing the perfect habitat for yeast to multiply. Other possible causes of candida overgrowth are: high acid foods/ drinks, breads and pastries, pH imbalance (Candida cannot thrive in a balanced pH environment), mildew and mold in the living area, contact with mold in public showers, excessive cheese consumption, anti-ulcer medications, antibiotics, and birth control pills, among others. We can also identify some signs or symptoms that candida overgrowth may be causing to our health: gas and bloating, brain fog-poor memory, fatigue, inability to lose weight, “sick all over” feeling, thrush, nail fungus, vaginal yeast infections, athlete’s foot, coated tongue, rectal/anal itching, allergies of all types, intolerance to many chemicals, rashes, anxiety, depression, headaches, dry, scaly skin, acne, joint pains and stiffness, nasal stuffiness, congestion, runny nose, the list continues. Based in a questionnaire if you have one or more of the first eleven symptoms and any of the remaining symptoms, you might well suspect yeast as an underlying issue causing some of your health concerns. Step 1: Follow a proper diet

combined with Candida Clear 14 days herbal program. Things that are allowed to eat while in the program: Protein- meat (beef, chicken, turkey, fish, etc.), eggs (preferably organic), and protein powder. Good fats like: olive oil, coconut oil (contains caprylic acid that helps to remove yeast), almonds. Also, non-starchy carbohydrates (e.g. green beans, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, etc.), fresh or frozen berries, lemons, grapefruit (no other fruit), beans (black beans, pinto beans, etc.). Also try to include a good sweetener like Stevia or Xylitol. Step 2: Drink lots of water, the more alkaline the better. Alkaline water can enter the cells and quickly rebalance the body’s pH. Yeast cannot survive in an alkaline system. Reduce Stress: Practice positive thinking and fostering positive emotions. One great technique is deep breathing; it helps oxygenate your system. Step 3: Use Probiotics to reestablish the balance of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract. Step 4: Support the Immune System- One of my favorite products is Silver Shield with Aqua Sol Technology. Step 5: Clear out the yeast as it Dies Off: Supplements to help this action are Kidney Drainage and Lymphatic Drainage, they are both great herbal combinations for this purpose along with Candida Clear Pack. Step 7: Use a good Fiber: Fiber creates an environment that is ideal for intestinal health. Fiber is critical to maintain a balanced pH. It also feeds good bacteria. Everybody’s Fiber with Slippery elm is an excellent choice to sooth the digestive system and to absorb toxins.

Board

onto 219. One board member mentioned that cars in that area are still going pretty fast. There was a suggestion to change some of the entrance areas to the parking lot to try to keep cars from backing up. There were questions about providing enough parking spaces for the apartments; two are required for each apartment. It appeared that they will have one space by the building and the second space across the parking lot. There will be a freestanding ATM in the parking lot. Town Engineer Mark Alianello asked about snow removal in the winter. There was a note on the plans about storing the snow off-site in winter, which Mr. Alianello asked to have removed. Engineer Alianello pointed out that the building will need eight electricity meters, two for the Tim Hortons and the other retail business, and six for the apartments. One of the board member asked how long the leases for the apartments would be. The representative from Miranda said they would hope for minimum one year lease, but might accept six months. The board member followed up by asking “not a motel?” The representative replied “No. Not a motel.” The architect for the project then took over and displayed a set of renderings for the exterior of the building. The plans show an outside patio area with six tables. He explained the materials to be used on the outside as a combination of brick, siding, and Hardy Board. The colors used will be the Tim Hortons generic color scheme. He said the few vents needed for the toasters in the cafe would be channeled up through interior walls to the roof. Attention turned to the lighting plan presented by the group. Vermont has issued

state guidelines regarding night lighting in parking lots. They call for an average of 1.1-foot candles of light for a parking lot. Mr. Alianello pointed out that the moon varies between 1 and 3 foot candles of light depending on its phase. The Tim Hortons plan called for an average of 17-foot candles in the parking lot, which Mr. Alianello said “seems excessive.” He also pointed out that the light level in the patio area was much lower, and said he felt it seemed uneven. He did allow that the light level by the ATM should be brighter for security. There was a question about the need for 25 foot tall light poles. It was pointed out that if you use shorter poles you need more of them, which increases expense. The developers did say they would look at using 15 foot poles. Drawing for the signage around the site were presented. The largest sign would be on a 3.5 foot base and illuminated with ground lights. It would be just under 20 feet tall and have the Tim Hortons logo, and space for signage for the two commercial tenets. The board did point out that there was no indication on the ground plot as to where the signs would be placed. The board asked to be presented with a drawing indicating sign placement. A motion was made and approved that the board found no significant environmental impact to the plans. Town Planner Carol Horowitz read over a lengthy list of changes required by the board to allow Miranda to proceed. A motion was made to accept the plans provided Miranda makes the requested changes. The motion passed. The meeting then turned to the proposed Glen Burn Trail Development. As requested by the board at the June meeting the developers returned with plans showing the footprint of some of the units within the plot lines of the lots. Unfortunately this did not please the board who requested the ability to review the entire project. The architect mentioned they had

redesigned units one through nine to make them smaller and had “cut everywhere we can.” It was pointed out that the easiest thing to do would be to submit a revised site plan for the old Starlight Village project that had already been approved. The question did come up that it was unknown whether the new building codes would apply to the project, or if the old codes should apply to the project. The Town Planner said she would consult with the Town Attorney regarding the question. The issue of the distance between the facing parking lots came up again. At the last meeting Town Engineer Mark Alianello had pointed out that when car parks in a space up against a building, the car never pulls in so far as to touch the building, thus taking up more room. Plowed snow piled up exacerbates the problem. He had said this required more distance between parking lots that face each other. He said the formula is 24 feet for one set of parking spaces, 24 feet for the roadway between them, and 24 feet for the second set of spaces, making a total of 72 feet. In looking at the plans submitted he said, “I can see the parking isn’t going to work.” Earlier in the evening the Town Planner had noticed that there was not a required set of home owner association rules submitted with the proposal. The developer responded that since there were no unit owners yet, there was no way to formulate HOA by-laws. The board pointed out that they require the by-laws to be in place so the board can see that home owners will not be allowed to do anything to their units that would be detrimental to the project. She mentioned she would call the attorney on the “chicken/egg” issue. During the meeting the broad made numerous requests for changes to the plans. At the end one board member said it appeared it would be “back to the drawing board” for the developers to gain approval of the project. Another board member said, “You have a list of what we need for approval.” The meeting was adjourned.

Pumkin

Healthwise:Is Candida Triggering your Health?

Visitors are invited to experience some family fun at the area’s largest fall attraction.“Family fun is our business,” reports Pumpkinville’s website. The fall attraction will open for the season Sept. 15, running through October.The 200-acre farm, the oldest original pumpkin farm in New York State, opens for fall fun annually, but some new treats await guests this year. Owned by the Pawlowski family, Pumpkinville began in the early 1960’s when Joe and Helen Halloran and their teen boys planted a few pumpkins. Guests stopped by the roadside stand to buy some, and from there grew Pumkinville, which now plays host to thousands annually. The Pawlowskis took over in 1996, with attractions growing since.

“Each family member has combined … creativity and hard work and has grown Pumpkinville into the top fall tourism site in Western New York,” reads Pumpkinville’s website. “We take great pride in great entertainment, fantastic autumn scenery, good food and a beautiful farm harvest,” it adds. Open from Sept. 15 to Oct. 31, there will be the pick-a-pumpkin patch, cider mill, shops, corn maze, shoot-a-corn cannon, helicopter rides, hayrides, shops and more, but this year will also feature a singing chicken show and more.There will be an apple cider festival Sept. 22 and 23 and a fall festival Oct. 5 to 8 at the farm that offers free admission and is open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. the third Saturday in September through October. Field trips and group outings can also be arranged. “Pumpkinville has something for everyone,” states the website, adding every member of the family can find an interest, no matter how young – or young at heart. “Anyone of our family will

take time to help you and your family have a great visit to our farm,” states the website, adding visitors come as strangers but leave as friends. “We’ve got some really cool things out there,” said Mr. Pawlowski, about the colors and types of pumpkins available this year. In fact, he said, Pumpkinville is combining efforts with another fall tradition: Breast Cancer Awareness, commemorated nationally in October. Put the two together and what does one get? Pink pumpkins. There are three acres of them in fact. Mr. Pawlowski said donations can be made at Pumpkinville, where people can purchase the pink pumpkins. Earnings will go to breast cancer foundations including Susan G. Komen, he said. “Western New York has been good to us,” he said, adding offering the breast cancer donation opportunity at Pumpkinville allows he and his family a chance to “give back a little.” For info: www.pumpkinville.com or 699-2205.

★ ★ Sudoku Challenge ★ ★To solve a Sudoku puzzle, place a number into each box so that each row across, each column down, and each small 9-box square within the larger diagram (there are 9 of these) will contain every number from 1 through 9. In other words, no number will appear more than once in any row, column, or smaller 9-box square. Working with the numbers already given as a guide, complete each diagram with the missing numbers that will lead to the correct solution.

Good luck!
