Paranormal Investigators Searching For Answers

Western New York Ghost Hunters Of the Southern Tier (WNY G.H.O.S.T.)

By Chad Neal

Ellicottville is chock full of great people. Some have lived here forever, some recently relocated here, and the ones that stick it out deserve to be part of this great community. One such person, who has grown up in the Ellicottville area, is Dan Aldrich. He has been part of Ellicottville all of his life. Aldrich’s work goes unnoticed to the untrained eye because of his professional and excellent work. He is a painter and has painted a large percentage of the buildings and such in and around Ellicottville, all with his demand for perfection. He is also a snow maker and makes the best out of all the seasons.

Aldrich is always working, always moving, always doing something, he has always been very active. He played football, basketball, and ran track in school. He is a hunter and an archery enthusiast as well among many other hobbies. He searches for and finds First People’s arrowheads and has a green thumb as well. He has been painting for upwards of 20 years, and

he started all those years ago with the Hencoop Hollow Paint Company, owned at the time by Al “Maddog” Lyford., now owned by Joe Lyford. “Old Maddog taught me the trade, and I worked for him for nine or ten years. Then we lost him. I partnered up with Joe for a while and broke off to start my own company. On January 1 this year, I started Aldrich Painting.

This doesn’t mean all of the spirits lurking right on the other side have gone though, it’s just the threat of evil overrunning the religious All Saint’s Day is over.

of ghosts are similar and different from the tools utilized by WNY G.H.O.S.T. In the movie they shoot a beam at the spirit and trap it in a container for transport to an even larger holding cell. WNY G.H.O.S.T. is a bit different, they aren’t catching ghosts and they aren’t sending invoices out for services rendered. “We have multiple pieces of equipment, lots of voice recorders and video recorders. Some are supplied with ultra-violet or infrared light. We also carry white sage with us, in case the homeowner or business would like us to clear the location as well. We recently acquired a pendulum which we use for divination purposes. WNY G.H.O.S.T. Runs on a scientific basis. But we keep our minds open to other possibilities and strategies,” Neumeister explained and recounted their luck for having been able to meet a lot of like minded people, “We have befriended a group of psychics in Erie, PA. They are gracious enough to help us when there’s a situation we can’t quite handle.”

The group can easily be contacted through their website www.wnyghost.com and their email address is [email protected]. Neumeister told EMVN that they are pretty busy during the month of October. The timing is not coincidental, it is part of the cycle of the world. The ancient belief of darkness as beholder of evil and the other side allows the ghosts to run more rampant during these next seasons, aligning with certain religious beliefs today. Belief is the key to bestowing the secrets

being searched for in the next life. The group puts on a few fundraisers during the month of October as well including the Jamestown ParaCon. “I think it helps people get in the spirit of Halloween,” Neumeister said, “Who doesn’t like a good scare?”

Neumeister and the members of the group aren’t as stoic as a warrior either, she admitted, “There have been a few times members have gotten a good fright. I had one at Bobby Mackey’s when a generator kicked on suddenly after I asked a question. We’ve had some real scares too. One investigation we split up and had one person in the basement. Investigator Shayna and I heard him running up the stairs freaking out because something passed in front of him. When it comes down to it, we’re still human and the natural reaction to the unexpected is a scare. We just take it the step further and look for the why.”

The WNY G.H.O.S.T. website has a slew of information on it about the group and what they do and how to contact them. No need to fear ridicule either as this group is serious about their research and investigations and if you hear something in the middle of the night, if you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic, or if you or a member of your family have ever seen a spook, specter or ghost,” check out the Western New York Ghost Hunters Of the Southern Tier. www.wnyghost.com

has helped him gain partnerships with other contractors as well. He recently worked on the new JD Northrup Construction move, and did the floors for the new Mud, Sweat, and Gears shop in town. He also did the bar top at Madigan’s. Now, he says the season is winding down and he is getting ready to start making snow. Upon catching up with Aldrich at his work site at HoliMont for Phil Vogt contracting, EMVN was reluctant to get Aldrich to stop working for few minutes to talk.

Aldrich is very humble. He takes pride in his work and works hard for who ever may have hired him on. When EMVN caught up with him he was power washing a deck (for free) for some people because he knew they were elderly and he didn’t want them slipping on the slimy wooden planks. He said it only takes a few minutes, and they will appreciate it. Phil Vogt Construction is the contractor on the house, and Aldrich also wanted to express how glad he is to have hooked up with Vogt. “I do a lot for Phil Vogt, and with the season winding down, he is a driving force. If you’re not trying to keep

up with him, you’re falling behind,” Aldrich said, adding, “He moved me forward. Pointing out new spray equipment and high end quality work. We even tried our hand at corn cob blasting. The season is winding down, but I am ready to take on any painting, and I’m looking forward to pasting Holiday Valley with snow.”

Aldrich went to SUNY Morrisville and received a degree in Ski Area Technology. In the winter, he is the graveyard shift Snowmaking Supervisor. Holiday Valley is adding new technology to its snowmaking field every year, and Aldrich is excited about that, too. “I’m taking everything Holiday Valley has to offer and I’m going to use every bit of it to get snow on the hill,” he said. “We need people here in the winter to stay in the chalets, so we can fix them in the summer. It’s the resort town cycle. I love the guys I work with and the technology I get to use. I am very excited about the new automation.”

Aldrich told EMVN that he was born in Little Valley, before he moved to Great Valley, when he was in seventh grade. “I had no idea about the magical mountains over the hill,”

he marveled in jest, and revealed he has a 12-year old daughter, Rylie, with his partner in love, Tracy Pierce.

Aldrich is a doer, and will do anything for his friends and family. He is a giver, too, and is a definite part of Ellicottville. His ethic in life is pure and simple. “If you want to be somebody, you got to get

up and go to work every day,” he expressed about his take on life and also explained how the work ethic works in place like Ellicottville, “It’s about meeting the right people and having the right influences. If you do good work you don’t have to advertise, it will be all word of mouth. Just make people happy.”

ECS Senior SpotlightBreanna Coolidge

By Chad NealBreanna Coolidgewas

born in Salamanca 17 years ago, and was brought to Ellicottville when she was around 6-years old with her father, Bill Coolidge, who grew up here and still lives here with his wife, Shannon, and their children, Alessia Filutze, Brooke Coolidge, Kayleigh Coolidge, Joshua Coolidge and Cooper Coolidge. Breanna’s mother lives in Randolph, “My mom is Tammy O’Dell and my step dad is Andy O’Dell,” Breanna said, adding she has two more siblings, a brother and sister Preston O’Dell and Olivia O’Dell.

Breanna went to Pre-K here, in Ellicottville, and started regular school in Salamanca, but came back to ECS and has been ever since. Now she is a senior. You may recognize her last name, her grandfather, Charlie, is the mayor of the Village of Ellicottville.

Breanna has been active in may activities during her stint at ECS. Her athletic lifestyle started when she was a little kid. She has played little league soccer and

has always skied, too. “I took up snowboarding few years ago, so I do both. In seventh-grade, I started modified soccer, and I also started softball that year. After that, I joined the swim team, in Franklinville, for a fall sport instead of soccer. I am also a basketball cheerleader,” Breanna said, adding that she played softball every year, “Swimming is my favorite sport that I have played.”

The stage is another of Breanna’s haunts, as she has been in Drama Club since her seventh-grade year. “I was in Beauty and the Beast, Oliver, The Music Man, The Sound of Music and Damn Yankees. Last year I got the lead female role in Damn Yankees, as Lola,” Coolidge boasted, continuing, “I sing soprano, and play the trumpet. I’ve played since the fourth-grade, and I am first-chair this year. I’m in Jazz Choir and Jazz Band. I have done Solo Fest for trumpet a few times in the past, but have done Solo Fest for singing every year since seventh grade. I’ve gone to All-County for either band or chorus every year since seventh

grade when I started Solo Fest.”

Coolidge is also on the top of her game as she has received many awards for her participation in the extracurricular activities she enjoys. She said that she has been on High Honor Role since sixth grade, and that she has won awards in chorus every year too.

EMVN asked about her favorite memories and her thoughts on her senior year. “My favorite memories all have to do with my friends and drama club. I expect my senior year to be full of fun times and great memories with all my friends and family,” She shared and added, “My favorite memories from sports are getting first place in races in swimming and going to Ralph Wilson Stadium and being able to cheerlead on the field my senior year for the Eagle’s football team. League Champs this year!”

Breanna plans on furthering her education, becoming a health care provider. She says she has narrowed down her choices, but may change her mind as well as she hasn’t made her final

decision yet. “I plan on going to college for nursing, physical therapy, or OBGYN. I haven’t decided yet. I’ve been looking at Daemen College, University at Buffalo and Ohio State University,” she explained and revealed that she plans on living out west somewhere in the future too.

Coolidge lamented over her love of the area and the things she appreciates most about Ellicottville and ECS. She said she thinks the best thing about Ellicottville is its quaintness and that everyone knows everyone and they all come together in bad times and good. “I love my teachers and how supportive they are. I love the music department the most, though. We have very good musical talent at our school,” Coolidge said, sharing some of her favorite entertainment, “I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly country music. I like comedies as far as movies go. My favorites are Liar Liar, Yes Man, The Fox and the Hound, and Dear John.”

Breanna dealt out some ‘shout outs’ as well, “I want to thank my grandma for always being there for me no matter what the case is and always knowing just how to help me. To the underclassmen, rule the school your senior year, and don’t be jerks to the smaller kids when you’re seniors. You were them at one time and without them you have nothing to rule. Thank you to my parents for always pushing me hard in my academics and sports, to do my best and never take no for an answer. If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be the young lady I am today. I love them very much. My brothers and sisters for giving me the best memories of my life,” she said appreciatively, and when asked if she wanted to be mayor like her grandpa, “No, I wouldn’t want to be mayor, because I couldn’t deal with all the stuff my Grandpa has to, and he does a good job anyways. He’s the coolest Mayor ever!”

Editors Note: This Spotlight ran last week with errors that were not caught until after publication. At the request of the family, this is th ecorrected version. The Mountain and Valley News regrets the errors.

Ellicottville Central School is a small school. The Seniors are great though. The final year of school, is usually the most memorable. The ECS Seniors all have a unique story, but all share commonalities some way or another. Pat Morton, son of Karen and Alan Morton, is a senior at ECS, and was first raised in Olean, going to school for his first couple years of education. He has two older sisters, Emily Foster, who is in Germany for college, and Megan Foster, who resides in Long Island.

“I grew up and went to Olean school until first grade. Then we moved to Humphrey, and I’ve gone to Ellicottville ever since,” Morton shared bringing up his athletic involvement, “I’ve played basketball and soccer my whole life. I’ve snowboarded since seventh grade ,and went to Killington, Vt. that year to snowboard. I’ve shot trap since I was 9-years old and I also shoot silhouette in Ridgeway, Pa..”

With Morton on the team, the boys’ soccer team will be vying for bragging rights at the Boys Varsity Soccer Playoffs

against West Valley at Pioneer on Halloween day, Oct. 31 at 5:30 PM. His preferred sport isn’t soccer though, “My favorite sport is basketball and I play guard. I’ve played other positions, but guard mostly,” Morton professed.

Even though school is about education, youth seem to see it as more of a social network. A more personable network than social media, but that is where all their friends are. The memories that cause the yearn to return after graduation aren’t made yet, but the ECS seniors

are in the throes of making them now. Subconsciously, the education seeps into the mind, but most of the teenagers getting up in the morning to get to the school are going to see and interact with friends and peers. “My favorite memory from ECS so far would be walking into the gym on my first day as a senior. Not to mention the Senior Night games and having fun with my friends,” Morton expressed, also saying his favorite sport memory involved Senior Night games and winning games at home.

Morton also goes to BOCES for Natural Resources, and plans on going to college at Alfred as an automotive technician. “I think I will come back to Ellicottville after,” he said and also had some advice for his classmates and underclassmen. “To the underclassmen: Do your best, time goes fast. To my classmates: I hope you all do good things in college and great things in life. I’ll miss you guys.

“To my grandpa and parents: Thanks for helping me with everything I’ve gone through. To Janae: I hope you do amazing in basketball at college. I love you,” he continued.

As these columns featuring the up-and-coming leaders of tomorrow turn up, the stories can be long or short. We find that it is imperative to let the next generations know we are keeping an eye on them and wish to know how to guide them better as we were guided as well and sometimes still are and need it. Pat Morton is part of a class at ECS graduating in June that is evolving as quick as the technology they conquer and use these days. EMVN wants to wish Pat well in his endeavor and hopes he brings his prowess in whatever he masters back to Ellicottville like he reckons he may.

Roller Derby Diva Jessica Curtis a.k.a.

“Icky Thump””by Chad Neal

Know your Roller Derby Girls

Jeff Criley hit a Hole in One on Hole 9, a 164 yarder, with a hybrid club, on Thursday October 18, at Elkdale Country Club.

Jessica “Icky Thump” Curtis rolls with the Enchanted Mountain Roller Derby league’s Hellbilly Heartbreakers. Icky Thump is a single mother of a son and a daughter, living in Great Valley. She grew up in Great Valley, and went to Ellicottville Central School. She played soccer and skied, and now she skates. The name, Icky Thump, is adapted from a song by the rock band the White Stripes, “I discovered roller derby when I was living in New York City. I went to see the Gotham City Girls, the Bronx Grid Lock were playing the Manhattan Mayhem. I got the derby bug and bought skates the next day,” Icky Thump

recalled, “When I moved back home, Kristen Bird, told me they were starting a roller derby league up here, I have been skating ever since.”

Icky Thump works a Zippo, in Bradford, as a spot welder. Roller derby is taken very seriously by all of these girls who participate, and the fellas too. It is a hard hitting sport and that is another reason they love it, because it gets some angst out as well, but at the end of the day the girls are all sisters and friends for the most part. There are rivalries for sure and attitudes that need to be adjusted, but that goes with anything that involves competition. The goal of the sport is to get the most points before

it’s over and the way to do that is to get your team’s jammer past the other team’s jammer more than they do. “I am a blocker, although I will jam in a pinch,” Icky Thump said, “My favorite memory in derby is jamming against the Babes of Wrath and knocking everyone of their blockers down as I went through. I’m usually a blocker so it was very memorable!”

Icky Thump said she had indeed won a couple of awards for roller derby. “Last season, I won the award for the Most Feared, and this season, I won the Shake and Shiver Award for hardest hitter,” Icky Thump gloated, sharing her take on the sport, “Roller derby is a very physical sport so it keeps me physically strong. The sport itself is amazing, but the family (my team and coach) that I gained playing derby is what means the most to me. They give me strength, unconditional love and support, both on and off the track. And if I have a bad week I get to go hit girls, and if I don’t hit them hard enough they wonder what’s wrong with me.”

Icky Thump and the rest of the girls are on hiatus at the moment, but still get out and practice and get together. Now, the league is working on a Junior Derby league, getting the younger generation into it. They are actively recruiting young ladies between the ages of 8 and 17 “that would like an empowering, all female sport to get involved in.” Contact any derby girl if you are interested, or check out their Facebook page Enchanted Mountain Roller Derby.

In the Chuck Funke Section VI Consolation Championship football game at Southwestern of Lakewood on October 25 for Class DD, Ten Broeck Academy of Franklinville won the title after defeating Pine Valley of South Dayton, 20-6, in a battle of Panthers.

Fall Car Care

Emerling Resale & Service Center, located on Route 16 in Franklinville, offers a wide variety of pre-owned vehicles along with a full service center. Call Emerling today at 716-353-4100 and get your vehicle Ready for Winter.

Rich’s Full Service, on North Main St. in Franklinville can help with all of your Fall Car Care needs. Go through their car wash, or come in for auto repairs including NYS Inspections, brakes, exhausts and oil changes.

If you’re like most motor-ists, you’re concerned about safety. In fact, research shows that vehicle safety is a top motivator for most motorists when it comes to vehicle maintenance and the brake system is at the top of the vehicle safety checklist.

“Brakes are a normal wear item for any car and eventually they’re going to need to be replaced for both performance and safety rea-sons,” explained Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. “A properly op-erating brake system helps ensure safe vehicle operation and control under a variety of conditions. However, many motorists are unaware of the signs and symptoms that their brake system may need maintenance or repair.”

What to look forIt’s important to be alert

and recognize the warning signs of brake trouble. If your car is pulling to the left or right, or if you hear odd noises when you apply the brakes, you should inspect your brakes. Other warning signs include an illuminated brake warning light, brake grabbing, low pedal feel, vi-bration, hard pedal feel and squealing.

What to doFor routine maintenance,

check your vehicle’s brak-ing system at least once a year. A thorough inspection should include brake lining wear, brake fluid level, rotor thickness, condition of hoses and brake lines, brake and dash warning lights, as well as taking the car for a test-drive to detect other poten-tial brake system problems.

What not to doSeveral factors that affect

brake wear include driving habits, operating conditions, vehicle type and the quality of the brake lining material.

“Never put off routine brake inspections or any needed repair, such as letting the brakes get to the ‘metal-to-metal’ point, which can be potentially dangerous and lead to a more costly repair bill,” White added. “If you haven’t checked your brakes in the past year, it’s a great time to ‘give your car a brake’ and make sure it’s in safe working condition.”

Give your car a brake

Audubon Presenting Afternoon and Evening

“Owl Day” Events

Owls are such fascinating crea-tures that the Audubon Center and Sanctuary has declared Saturday, November 10, to be “Owl Day,” with live owls featured in special programs in the afternoon and evening.

Photo by Michael Weishan.

With their watchful eyes and haunting sounds, owls are creatures that have long fascinated people of all ages.

The Audubon Center and Sanctuary will be celebrating “Owl Day” on Saturday, November 10, with live owls featured in special programs in the afternoon and evening.

At “What a Hoot!” from 1 to 4 PM, visitors can learn about these silent hunters of the night hands-on activities that demonstrate their unique hunting techniques. You can find out what owls eat by dissecting an owl pellet and make an owl craft to take home.

The highlight of the afternoon will be live owls. Mark Baker, a licensed raptor rehabilitator, will be at Audubon with several of his owls that are unable to be released back into the wild. You can visit with him and his owls and then learn more during his programs at 1 and 3 PM.

Reservations are not required for this event. Fee is $7 or $5 for Friends of the Nature Center. The program fee includes building admission.

Despite being easily

recognized with their large heads and eyes, owls are rarely seen. However, they can often be heard calling in the night. In the winter, owls become more vocal as they set up territories and search for mates.

You can join Audubon’s “Owl Prowl” from 5 to 7 PM on Saturday, November 10. After a short indoor presentation, participants will head outside, where recordings of several owls will be used to try to get a response. “Prowlers” will even learn and try their own owl calls and find out how their senses compare to that of an owl.

Participants are reminded to dress for the weather and bring only flashlights with a red lens or filter. Reservations are required by Thursday, November 8, by calling (716) 569-2345, emailing [email protected], or clicking on “Program Listing” under Quick Links at http://jamestownaudubon.org

and following the links.The Audubon Center

and Sanctuary is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile off Route 62 between Jamestown and Warren.

For more information on these and all Audubon programs and opportunities, call (716) 569-2345 or visit http://jamestownaudubon.org.

Additional Deer Management Permits Available For Hunters

Remaining Deer Management Permits (DMPs) will be available in several Wild-life Management Units (WMUs) beginning Nov. 1, 2012, the New York State Depart-ment of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced.

DMPs, which allow hunters to harvest antlerless deer, are issued for specific WMUs to help control deer populations. In several units, the target number of DMPs was not issued during the initial application period. In these WMUs, DEC will re-open the DMP application process on a first-come, first-served basis.

Hunters may apply for leftover DMPs at any sporting license sales outlet begin-ning Nov. 1, 2012. Leftover DMPs will not be available by phone, by mail or via the internet. Applicants who previously paid the $10 DMP application fee or are exempt from the application fee will not be

charged for this additional application. Applications for remaining DMPs will

be accepted for the following WMUs: 1C, 3M, 3R, 3S (bowhunting-only), 7F, 7H, 8A, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8N, 9A, and 9F. For WMU locations, check the 2012-13 Hunt-ing and Trapping Regulations Guide or go to: www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8302.html.

During this extended application pe-riod DEC will issue DMPs for an individ-ual WMU all day. The status of issued permits will be reviewed each night, and as the target number of permits are issued for an individual WMU, they will be removed from the list of those avail-able effective the following day, with no further applications accepted for those units. A list of units with available left-over DMPs will be routinely updated at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/6399.html.

Pitt-Bradford Professor Co-Edits New Book On Anthropology Of

Government

Meg Johnston of Ellicot-tville, NY is in the cast of Dames at Sea at Buffalo State as the characters Ruby and Ann Margaret. Johnston is a senior arts and letters major at Buf-falo State and a graduate of Ellicottville Middle School High School. This is her fourth production at Buffalo State.

Dames at Sea is pat-terned after Busby Berke-ley movie musicals from the 1930s, which Jones compared to the mov-ies shown on the Turner Movie Classic network. “It’s a fun, comical, light-hearted musical,” Jones said. “People are going to see dancing, tap dancing, gold diggers, good songs, novelty numbers, and a whole bunch of antics.”

This musical is possible due to the generosity of Buffalo and New York City radio and musical theater talent Andy Anselmo, who trained musical legends such as Liza Minnelli and

Tony Bennett and actors Alec Baldwin and Regis Philbin. Anselmo has taught vocalmaster classes on the Buffalo State cam-pus and recently made a significant contribution to the Theater Department so that its students can pro-duce an annual musical.

Jones said he took advantage of Anselmo’s support by having the cast develop their skills in unique ways. For example, he double-cast the actors so that the 12 cast mem-bers each have two roles: one lead and one ensemble character. “The shows rotate,” Jones said. “On nights that one cast plays the leads, the rest are sup-porting characters.”

“We experience the show from both perspec-tives,” said Mandi Hess, who shares the lead role, Mona Kent, with Raquel de Souza. “You see the other person who’s playing your role do something you never thought of, which

helps you develop your character.”

“If you’re a lead on Broadway you’ll always have an understudy,” de Souza added. “This is similar to that, a real life experience.”

In addition, the show’s location gives the cast a chance to perform in an unusual setting. Instead of performing to an audi-ence only in front of them, the cast will also perform for an audience to the left, and to the right. “You have to be conscious of the fact that if you turn one way, people may not be able to hear you or see your face,” Hess said. “This is a fun show and experience. It’s definitely not boring!”

Performances will take place at 8:00 p.m. October 31 to November 3, and November 7 to 10. There will also be 2:00 p.m. performances on November 3 and 10. Dames at Sea is approximately an hour and a half in length.

A new book co-edited by Dr. William Schumann III, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, examines the culture of government.

“Governing Cultures: Anthropological Perspectives on Political Labor, Power and Government” is a collection of essays edited by Schumann and Kendra Coulter, assistant professor in the Centre for Labour Studies at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario.

The two met at the 2008 meeting of the Canadian Anthropology Society, where a panel discussion about the culture of government brought about the idea for the book.

Schumann and Coulter selected a broad range of essays from different disciplines and covering a variety of worldwide geography and time periods, including late 20th century Mexico, 1930s and ’40s Ecuador, and modern Alberta, Canada. The essays focus less on the culture of politics and more on the culture of everyday bureaucracies.

In addition to editing the essays with Coulter, Schumann contributed an essay about identity politics involved in governing the National Assembly for Wales.

The book has received favorable reviews.

Catherine Kingfisher, a professor of anthropology at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, Canada, called it “a groundbreaking collection of innovative studies of the complicated doing of government” and “essential reading for anyone – in anthropology, sociology, geography, political science, or policy science – interested in productions and relations of labor, power and meaning in government.”

Schumann said the book would soon be available in paperback as well as hardback.

Now in his third year of teaching at Pitt-Bradford, Schumann’s interests include the economic development of Wales in Great Britain and Appalachia in the United States. He pursues studies in anthropological and interdisciplinary approaches to the study

of government, democracy and civil society, and political and cultural change in Wales, among other interests.

This is Schumann’s second book. His first, “Toward an Anthropology of Government: Democratic

Transformations and Nation Building in Wales,” was published in 2009.

He lives in Bradford with his wife, Dr. Jessie Blackburn, assistant professor of English, and their two sons.

SBU Theater Prepares For Biennial One-Act Stage FestivalBy Mary Best, and Emily West

St. Bonaventure Universi-ty’s SBU Theater will revive its biennial one-act festival production this November in a diverse, six-piece presenta-tion titled “One Act Festival VI: Knowing and Un-Know-ing.”

Ed. Simone, director of SBU’s theater program, says the list, which features mostly comedies and will be presented in a three-quarter round format, includes two plays that have been previ-ously unpublished and were part of the 2012 Source Festi-val in Washington, D.C.

“‘National Smoke Sig-

nal Day’ by Billy Finn is a surprising 10-minute play about a young man and woman skipping school on a day when everything in their lives suddenly and ir-revocably changes,” Simone said. “Jonathan Spector’s ‘Be What You Wish to Seem’ follows the breakup of a very self-involved couple, who decide to transform them-selves into other people and other forms of existence with bizarre results.”

The list also includes “Words, Words, Words” by David Ives; “The Role of Della” by John Wooten; “An

Ongoing Examination of the True Meaning of Life” by S. W. Senek; and “The Winged Man” by Jose Rivera.

The Ives piece is one of Simone’s favorites.

“‘Words, Words, Words’ ex-plores the actual philosophi-cal observation that three chimps typing into infinity will eventually write Ham-let,” he says. “Our actors are having a grand time rehears-ing being apes.”

Sophomore theater and journalism/mass communica-tion major Tori Lanzillo of Victor portrays one of the main characters in “The Winged Man” — a girl who has to fight to convince her family and friends to believe the truth about her pregnan-cy. It’s a new kind of acting experience for Lanzillo.

“I like this play because it is a completely new experi-ence,” she said. “You have 10 to 15 minutes to tell an en-tire story. You don’t have two hours to get into character, you start right in the middle and have to be able to bring out that intensity right from the beginning.”

“‘Winged Man’ is a stark, unusual, beautiful play. Pro-fessor (Becky) Misenheimer and I have wanted to produce it for quite some time,” adds

Simone.The shorter plays pose

an acting challenge unprec-edented for some of the cast, as this is their first experi-ence participating in mul-tiple shows and portraying multiple characters within the same night, including junior journalism/mass communication major and theater minor Makeda Loney of Brooklyn.

“Working on multiple plays at once for me right now is not too horrible. Since the genres of the two plays are completely different, I couldn’t confuse my lines or characters,” said Loney. “The plays are also short, which means we get to run them more and refine them each night we rehearse.”

Lanzillo echoes Loney’s feeling that the quick change of characters is an exhilarat-ing challenge for an actor.

“Doing many short plays at once is something else that I have never done before,” Lanzillo said. “You have to change characters from one play to the next quickly, which is a challenge but a great experience.”

“This is my first time act-ing in the Garret space,” said Loney, who has appeared in SBU Theater productions on

the Quick Center stage, “so it will be great.”

The cast also includes SBU Theater veterans Brett Keegan, a philosophy major from Syracuse and Chas-ity Brooke Perkins of Utica, Ohio; as well as SBU Theater freshmen newcomers Isaac Clayson of Allegany; Anna Martin, a biology major from Hawthorn Woods, Ill.; Whit-ney Downard, an undecided arts major from Vesta; and Hannah Vail, a chemistry major from Irving. Both Per-kins and Clayson are theater majors. All the actors play multiple roles.

“One Act Festival VI: Knowing and Un-Knowing” features sets and costumes designed by senior theater and journalism/mass commu-nication major Emily West.

West designed the cos-tumes for SBU Theater’s “Dracula,” last season’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and this fall’s production of “More Than Before.” West’s designs have been entered in the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival Region II. And her design work for “Knowing and Un-Knowing” are part of her senior theater capstone project.

“The design concept is

based on multiple realities existing in a single space,” said West. “We’re working on pieces to cover the floor, the walls, and the ceiling, includ-ing a climbable tree and suspended objects. It will be a full immersion experience for the audience.”

While it has been longer than the usual two-year gap between the theater pro-gram’s one-act play festivals, Simone is looking forward to its revival as the second production in SBU Theater’s 10th anniversary season.

“It’s going to be a funny, touching and surprising eve-ning of theater,” Simone said.

“One Act Festival VI: Knowing and Un-Knowing” performs at 7:30 PM Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 30 through Dec. 2; and at 2 PM Saturday, Dec. 1, in the Garret Theater. An audience talk-back follows the Friday night performance.

Reserved tickets are $8 for the public, and $6 for seniors, students, and SBU employ-ees. Phone the box office at 716-375-2494. Free student rush seats are made avail-able, to students from any school, one hour before show time: one ticket per valid student ID, in person, at the box office.

Federal Act Funds Job Training for

Veterans Are you, or do you know, an

unemployed veteran between the ages of 35 and 60?

One year ago, President Obama signed into law the bipartisan “Vow to Hire He-roes Act of 2011”. Part of that law includes the Veterans Re-training Assistance Program (VRAP), which provides up to 12 months of educational as-sistance to train unemployed veterans, age 35-60, into high demand careers.

Congress enacted this joint program between the Depart-ment of Labor and the Veter-ans Administration to allow unemployed veterans a chance to jump-start into a new career that can provide meaningful employment.

To qualify, a veteran must meet the age criteria, must be unemployed, must have an other-than-dishonorable dis-charge, must not be eligible for any other VA education benefi t program, must not be in re-ceipt of VA compensation due to individual unemployability, and must not be enrolled in a federal or state job training program.

Applications for VRAP are currently being accepted. Participating veterans may receive up to 12 months of as-sistance equal to the full-time Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty rate of $1564 per month, effective immediately. As-sistance under this program ends March 31, 2014.

Unemployed veterans with a service-related injury may qualify for even more vo-cational rehabilitation and employment benefi ts.

One of the local agencies that can help unemployed veterans who qualify receive job training is Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES, through its Adult Education program. Contact Theresa Schueckler, team leader for Employment Prep, at 716-376-8278.

Prentice Resigns as Councilman and Takes Highway Supt. Role

by J. ThompsonIn Highway matters at the

September 10th Town of Hum-phrey Board Meeting, the CHIPS work is being fi nished. Howe Hill and Davies Road have more work to be done. Roadside brush cut-ting will start soon. Patchwork has been done on Pumpkin Hollow. Margo Pearl moved to pay all CHIPS related invoices by 9/30/2012. The Board carried this with one, Don Prentice, abstaining from the vote.

Don Prentice resigned as Town Councilman effective 9/30/2012. This motion was car-ried. Don Prentice was appointed Highway superintendent from 10/1/12 – 12/31/12. The salary for this position will be $8,000 for that same time period. A motion to change the position from elected to appointed was tabled. A collection was taken to give a gift to former highway Supervisor on his retirement.

Code Enforcement Offi cer pre-sented $90 collected in fees for

permits. Larry Mack presented copies to the Board, of informa-tion collected concerning the appointment of Don Prentice as Deputy Highway Superinten-dent. William Timme stated he was due a refund of $30 for small claims court fi ling fees. The clerk will send a refund when notifi ed.

Terry Fuller has delivered the fi ling storage shelf and the other storage cabinet should be deliv-ered soon. A town survey sent out to 550 residents, received only 52 responses. Efforts will continue, over the next few months, by the Planning Board to review the current Comprehensive Plan.

Budget forms were sent out to the town’s offi cers and will be collected by Nancy Frazier to prepare the preliminary 2013 budget. The Board carried a motion to change the full time highway superintendent to a part time position with salary adjusted accordingly. This will be fi gured into the next budget.

Public Hearing Date Set for Machias Budget

by J. ThompsonDuring the October 15 Town

of Machias Board Meeting Supervisor Matthew S. Bull discussed the 2013 Budget overview explaining the tax levy amounts, Lime Lake Sewer District Ad Valorem tax, salary increases, health insurance in-crease, workers compensation costs, other tax levy revenues, and the water district.

A Public Hearing on the 2013 Budget November 1, 2012 will be held at 7:00 PM in the Machias Town Hall. A work session, re-garding water rates review and two change orders on the Lime Lake Sewer District force main going into Franklinville and Property Acquisition Costs for the sewer district, will be held directly after.

Kathy Lafferty and Gerry Pietrazek gave a talk on energy savings through Ambit Energy Consultants. Ambit is an En-ergy Supply Co. based in Texas. The savings would be through the supply end of your gas bill with no contracts to sign. There would be a guaranteed savings of 7% the fi rst two months and a minimum of 1% thereafter.

Lime Lake Cottage Owners Association recently held their elections. Tom Brown invited the Board members to attend

their meetings held at the American Legion. Tom also mentioned the date for 2013 Community Days has been set for July 20, 2013. The Fire Department will be hosting the Cattaraugus County Firemen’s Convention at the same time.

Highway Superintendent Richard Dash stated there are repairs that need to be done to the loader. Bull stated that NYSERDA is offering a program to municipalities for 75% rebate on specifi c items. The Justice and Town Clerk took advantage of this program updating their copy/fax machines.

Edna Scherf and Cathy Snay-czuk gave an update on Save the Pool. The pool is completely drained. Joe Patti, in charge of pools and hot tubs at Holiday Valley, is going to coordinate work at the pool. A pressure test was done and the costs may not be as high as originally predicted. The pool will par-tially be fi lled with water and covered for the winter. A goal has been set to raise $50,000 by the Spring of 2013. The Legion is collecting money and candy bars are being sold as the next fundraiser. There will be a sign posted showing funds raised for this endeavor.

What is your Prediction for the Weather in the Upcoming

Weeks?Weather is probably the most talked about subject on planet earth and elsewhere. The phenomenon of atmospheric cacophony entertains us all and controls our daily lives. Science has come to believe weather occurs due to earthly stimuli ie; temperature, wind, pressure. Religions have told their flocks that the almighty architect of the universe creates the conditions we either enjoy or loathe. As children we were told a thunderstorm was God bowling. There is another argument that the weather we fear most is created by the earth’s static resistance to the space around us as we all travel through the universe at a million miles a day - along with all the stars that we can see. For millennia there was very little meteorology, especially compared to today’s sophisticated technologies foretelling our atmospheric states in the hours, days, and weeks to come. And Mark Twain was misattributed to having observed best when he said, “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything

about it.” but in actuality Twain was quoting Charles Dudley Warner during a lecture. The weather is a factor in sports wagers and there are companies that bet on weather being adverse or not, they package and exchange weather derivatives, basically betting when the heat is going to be turned on. There is something positive to be said about all the conditions that occur on planet earth, from beautiful sunny days in the mid-seventies with a mild breeze lofting through to the fifteen below zero winter storm, causing everyone to come together inside and enjoy a common enemy. We all want nice weather most of the time, and nice is different for everyone. What is your prediction for the weather in the upcoming weeks?

Trick or Treaters at the American Legion

The Annual Ellicottville Legion Halloween party keeps get-ting better and better. The kids and candy are a plenty. The kids get to go around playing games to win treats and they play as much as they want. The Ellicottville Rotary and Foun-dation for Youth always put on a great time for the kids. And the costumes were great too. Photos by Chad Neal
