Falling Leaves FestivalNational Alpaca DaysNext Weekend Annual Celebration of Seneca HeritageThis Weekend Explore the World of Alpacas at Local Farms

Baby alpacas are crias, mom is a dam, and dad a sire. Just a bit of basic vocabulary to rely on when visiting ten regional alpaca farms this Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27 from 9am-5pm during National Alpaca Farm

Days. It’s a chance to learn more about alpacas and the business of raising them. You can enjoy seeing these charming animals up close and personal and perhaps purchase alpaca fiber products. Sue Bean owns A Slice of Heaven Alpaca Farm (asliceofheavenalpacas.com ) in Randolph and has been in the alpaca business for six years. The former dairy farmer’s delight with the daily task of raising 32 alpaca’s is contagious. “They are very social and affectionate animals. One girl, Tyf, runs over to me when I come to the barn. She pushes her nose into my face for a kiss and won’t leave till I kiss her nose,” Bean said.She also cautions that alpacas don’t like to be patted on their heads, but do enjoy being stroked on their neck or back.

Friday October2-Sunday October 4 Salamanca will host the 38th Annual Falling Leaves Festival from 11am-5pm. Events are planned all weekend long. Experience Seneca Culture and Heritage and enjoy the beautiful fall foliage. Started as a way to promote the culture of the Seneca Nation of Indians, as well as the relationship between the nation and the City of Salamanca, the celebration will have a cultural aspect with demonstrations of Seneca arts, food and entertainment.

Happy AnniversariesEBC Celebrates 20 years this Month!

“ I, Jeanine Marie Caprino Zimmer, daughter of Phil and Mary Ann Zimmer of Jamestown, take thee, Charles “Chuck” Theodore Carlson, son of Gloria Carlson of Jamestown and the late Clarence “Bud” Carlson, in Holy Matrimony and solemnly promise to always be as perfect as I am at this very moment – or as close as I can get it”. Or words to that effect – I was so excited I can’t remember exactly what I said… “I Do” seems to ring a bell… And with that, I’m so happy to tell you all I am now officially married to the love of my life, Chuck Carlson. We were united in marriage on August 29, 2015 at the Fairmont Southampton Princess Resort and Beach Club in Bermuda – folks, if you ever are thinking about tying the knot, this is THE place to do it! Reverend Shaw officiated

at the mid-afternoon beach ceremony with our friends Carrie and Rudi Stroble as witnesses. My Matron of Honor, Anna DiMarco of Ellicottville, gets a Gold Medal for orchestrating the wedding details for us from afar. For now, Chuck and I will remain in our lovely home at Bemus Point with Ella Grace and Bemus Bay, our much loved labs.

Now Accepting Credit CardsThe Villager Newspaper is now happy to announce we are accepting Credit

Summer, as they say, has officially left the building. For those of you keeping track, the first official day of Autumn is September 23rd. It’s time to pull out the air conditioner, put the bulk of your lawn furniture in storage, and start rummaging around your closet for warmer clothing. Sadly, with “Rock ‘n Roll” Weekend over with for

another year, we need to turn our attention towards bigger and brighter things… Autumn in the Enchanted Mountains is truly magical. Soon, those gorgeous autumn leaves will be like flaming torches, lighting the way to winter. We’re not quite to October, but Mom Nature’s handiwork is starting to peek through everywhere you look.

Cool mornings and warm sunny afternoons are the order of the day – and I love warm sweaters and turtlenecks, so I’m a happy camper! So, dear readers, get ready for what promises to be another spectacular Autumn season here in Ellicottville. It’s a perfect time to take a long walk in the woods! Until next week… JZ

(September 23, 2015, Ellicottville, NY…) SKI Magazine readers ranked Holiday Valley 3rd best among the top resorts in eastern North America for the 2015-16 season. “We’re so appreciative of our customers who choose Holiday Valley as one of their favorite resorts”, said Dennis Eshbaugh, President and General Manager of the resort. “And to be listed among these highly respected eastern resorts is very exciting.” When asked how Holiday Valley manages be listed in the top 10 year after year, Eshbaugh said, “It’s all about making it easy for our guests to have fun and enjoy the winter with their family and friends. We work hard to provide the kind of resort they want. Every year we improve and reinvest in the resort to stay ahead of the curve.” In March of 2015,

Magazine readers were asked to rate resorts they had recently visited in the eastern US and Canada, and Holiday Valley ranked in the top ten in 13 of the 18 categories. Holiday Valley is the only resort in the top 10 to have under 1500 vertical feet but the ranking shows that while the size of the mountain is important, there are so many other factors that add up to a memorable ski experience. Things that turn a good vacation into a great one include exceptional customer service, friendliness of staff and top notch facilities. Holiday Valley’s lift system, access to the resort, lodging, dining and kid friendliness were all ranked number 2. On-mountain food was ranked number 3, as well as après and off-hill activities. Service was ranked number 6 and terrain parks were number 7. The full survey

and rankings are available in October’s issue of SKI Magazine and online at skinet.com. The 2015-16 SKI Magazine top ten resort rankings are: 1- Mont Tremblant in Quebec, 2-Stowe in Vermont, 3-Holiday Valley in New York, 4-Smuggler’s Notch in Vermont, 5-Whiteface Mountain in New York, 6-Jay Peak in Vermont, 7-Killington in Vermont, 8-Sunday River in Maine, 9-Okemo in Vermont and 10-Mount Snow in Vermont. This year marks the tenth time in twelve years that Holiday Valley has ranked in the top 10 resorts in Eastern North America. Past years’ rankings are 3rd in 2004, 5th in 2005, 9th in 2006, 5th in 2007, 9th in 2008, 4th in 2009 and 6th in 2012 and 5th in 2013 and 5th in 2014.

Cattaraugus County Arts Council Executive Director Tina Hastings was proud to announce the award winning artists of the 2015 Southern Tier Biennial Exhibition at the opening reception September 19. Sixteen artists’ works are at the Olean Public Library Art Gallery and the Center Gallery of the Jamestown Community College Olean Campus as a part of this regional survey of contemporary art from the nine counties of New York State’s southern tier. Jurors John Massier and Bleu Cease chose Wayne Claypatch of Owego, New York, as the Best of Show winner with his oil paintings “Winter Wonderland, or a Chesterfield Christmas” and “How Did We End up here, Wherever here is.” Claypatch chooses unexpected subjects and places them in even more unexpected pairings. “Winter

And the Winners Are...CCAC STB Exhibition Results Are In

Wonderland” features two reindeer, a mittened and swimsuit clad maiden holding skis and a grinning, sweatered boy with a box of Chesterfield cigarettes in a winter landscape. “How did We End up here” places a Popeye doll and a Mr. Ed talking hand puppet against a semi-psychedelic background. Juror Massier describes “Winter Wonderland” as “a cheeky pop culture portrait, unabashed about its high octane hokum. Almost aggressively cheeky. But in person, all the hand-wrought painterly aspects leap out at you.” He goes on to say, “It’s compositionally astute, it’s strange and funny, but it’s the hyperactive, stylized manner in which it’s painted that elevates it into another space.” As the Best of Show recipient, Claypatch was awarded $1,000, a solo show to be held in the Fall of 2016 at the Olean Public Library Art Gallery with a full color printed catalog, up to $1,000 for professional development, and up to $1,000 for show expenses. Ms. Hastings says “The solo exhibition is an excellent opportunity for the Best of Show winner to showcase work. Mr. Claypatch’s artwork is so distinctive and I am looking forward to seeing a gallery full of his paintings.”

Honorable Mentions were awarded to Christine Sullivan (Elmira, New York, oil landscapes), Gina Pfleegor (Corning, New York, oil portraits), and Austyn Taylor (Alfred Station, New York, graphite on ceramic sculptures). The Honorable Mention winners each received $500. All of the sixteen artists’ statements and photographs of their work are on the website, www.southerntierbiennial.com and their works are included in a full color printed catalog available at the exhibiting galleries. The exhibits are open in both galleries through October 23, 2015. The Center Gallery is located at 260 North Union Street in the JCC College Center, on the 2nd Floor and is open Monday-Thursday 8 a.m.-7 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m.-3 p.m. The Olean Public Library is located at 134 North 2nd Street in Olean and is open Monday-Thursday 9 a.m.-9 p.m.; Friday 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. STB is presented in collaboration with the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, Olean Public Library, Jamestown Community College, and the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation through the generous sponsorship of the F. Donald Kenney Foundation.

Our target this year is to help 50 families from Cattaraugus County. For more information or advanced tickets, please contact the Santa Sheriff’s committee at 716-701-3554 or 716-938-2216.

The human body is brilliantly designed to neutralize the wide variety of harmful toxins it encounters each day. A healthy body expertly intercepts, breaks down and eliminates environmental pollutants, chemicals, food additives and so much more on a continual basis. But even the best of our built-in defenses can become bogged down, sluggish and less efficient due to a variety of factors that include age, environmental exposure and more. Summer is packed with different social events, graduation parties, camping, gatherings, etc. And, let’s be honest, we all give in to some temptations and some times we over eat, more likely foods that are not the best for us. If you feel tired, with lack of energy, your digestive system is slow, you feel bloated, or you gain a few pounds over the summer and would like to bring back balance, this is a great time to do a cleanse and eliminate toxins the healthiest way. Detox Basics provides your body with the nutrients it needs to help neutralize, prepare and convert toxins for transport and elimination on a daily basis. BENEFITS: Each convenient, single-serving Detox Basics packet contains effective and trusted ingredients that: Provide daily support for the natural elimination processes of the liver, kidneys and bowel . Support liver health and detoxification Support gut health and microbiome balance. Support phase I and phase II detoxification. Provide powerful antioxidants. Offer a shelf-stable product that is safe for everyday use. N-Acetyl Cysteine, a powerful antioxidant that optimizes the production

of glutathione in the liver (Glutathione is used in the breakdown and elimination of toxins in the body.) Milk Thistle seed extract (80% silymarin) – provides targeted help for the liver, the body’s chief toxin filter factory Bacillus coagulans – a shelf-stable probiotic that helps balance the gut’s microbiome Dandel ion root – provides tonic effects on the liver and gallbladder Berberine root – supports gut health Turmeric rhizome – added for extra antioxidant support of the liver Clean Start: It strengthens the waste-filtering process, supports natural elimination and promotes a feeling of well-being and improved energy. Our new milder formula is especially designed for those seeking complete yet gentle cleansing action. Additionally, CleanStart Mild contains Bacillus coagulans to help friendly bacteria in the intestinal tract.* BENEFITS: Provides daily support for the natural elimination processes of the liver, lymphatic system, kidneys and bowel.

While you are doing your cleanse, make sure you have your protein intake in the morning, make a protein shake to provide your brain and body with healthy fuel to start the day. Remember your brain itself needs 30r within he first hour after waking up to

function properly, metabolize your food better and produce energy. I recommend Love and Peas, because it is a light, nutrient packed and now available in a sugar FREE version. This new powder features natural sweeteners luo han (monk fruit) and stevia for a delicious taste with 37% fewer carbs! After you cleanse it is recommended to strengthen your good flora in the intestines. NutriBiome is a probiotic supplement that nourish and strengthen the gut microbiome and its resident microflora.

September is coming to a close and we just concluded another well attended and FUN Rock N Roll Weekend. As we approach October, our summer time weather seems to be holding on. We are three weeks away from Fall Festival, which usually is another really FUN weekend. So when the weather cooperates lets get out and enjoy what is left of summer with a round of golf or a bike ride. For golf, just call either Holiday Valley or Elkdale Country Club make a Tee time. Then get out and

enjoy what golf is all about. For a bike ride, pick up a trail map in any of our local outdoor stores. With all the beautiful scenery in our neighborhood it should be easy to plan an enjoyable ride. Now on to What’s Happinin here in Ellicottville this next week. Starting today Thursday September 24, 2015 through Wednesday September 30, 2015 we will have eight Bands, five DJ’s, one including a Karaoke Show, several Sound System Music Events plus all the really great food and beverage specials that are offered by our great clubs and eating establishments. All of which continues to make Ellicottville the really FUN Capital of our part of the world. So let’s get started with THURSDAY, a one band evening. We begin at 8:00 PM in The Gin Mill with Fred & Tuck doing their neat acoustic, folk rock to country music show. Excellent cover tunes done in F&T’s unique style will, for sure, make another FUN Gin Mill Music Night

happen. As always Retro Lil Joey from The Goony Spoon Foundation probably will join in making an even better music night happen. Moving to FRIDAY, a two band and three DJ evening. It all starts at 7:00 PM in Balloons with The Impact Band on stage. This neat band composed of five veteran musicians was here three or more times this past year. They feature Buffalo Music Award winning vocalist Kelly Wahl. She is joined by Sean and Kyle on guitars, Brian on bass and Jay on drums. Their music covers everything from classic hits to hard rock and pop to country. The Balloons crowd will be dancing and enjoying another FUN night of music. Following Impact, a DJ will take over from Balloons Sound Booth with neat danceable tunes to keep the party rolling until close. Then at 9:00 PM The Gin Mill will have RT Live doing his acoustic version of many

determined that making the switch will be seamless. New insurance cards will be issued to employees. A motion was made to switch the employee health insurance to Blue Cross/Blue Shield effective beginning 2016. The motion passed. Supervisor Burrell said the 2016 budget process is going along well. He told the department supervisors to submit their wish lists for their budgets by Friday the 18th. The supervisor said the board needs to reassess the values of the various pumping stations for insurances purposes. The insurance coverage on the station that was hit by lightning was inadequate for its repair. Mr. Burrell intends to issues a Life Saving badge to Office Bouchard for saving a man’s life in front of Gin Mill last month. Although the

Bean also said that they are a good animals for women to raise as the males are not aggressive and average only 150-180 lbs. Helen Herman, Sugartown Farms owner (wwwsugartownfarms.com) agrees adding that a single person can handle an alpaca. She and her husband Timm have been raising them for 12 years and have a number of champions among their 55 registered animals. Herman said that alpacas are judged on their confirmation and fleece quality which is judged for fineness, density and brightness. Both said the alpacas are raised for their fleece which

provides alpaca yarn, not for their meat. Bean raves about the quality of the yarn. “It’s softer, stronger, more durable than wool. It has no lanolin and does not harbor bacteria, making it excellent for soldiers who may not be able to change their socks daily,” she said. The other interesting thing about alpacas Bean said is that they are considered “green animals”. “They do not have upper teeth, only a palate, so they do not pull up grass roots as they graze.” Most of the farms have yarn or alpaca products available at their farm stores. A Slice of Heaven, and Cozy Cabin Alpacas (on facebook) will feature a drawing for alpaca products. Mager Mountain Alpacas (magermountainalpacas.com ) will feature two trained

alpacas Tony and Smudge going through an obstacle course. All of the farms are expecting to welcome visitors and have alpaca fiber products for sale. Alpacas are imported to the United States from Peru, Bolivia and Chile. They are a member of the camelid family, and are cousins to llamas and camels. Other farms that will be open for National Alpaca Farm Days are BearKat Alpacas (bearkatalpacas.com) near Pumpkinville; Countyline Alpacas (on facebook); Edgewood Farm Alpacas (alpacanation.com) in Allegany; Hy-Haven Farms(hy-havenfarm.com) in Cuba; Lakeview Farm Alpacas (openherd.com) in Olean and VanDyke’s Alpaca Ranch (vandykesalpacaranch.com) in Great Valley.

FOrestville vOte The Village of Forestville is looking at the possibility of dissolving the village government and merging municipal services with the town of Hanover. The village wants to conduct an in-depth study as to the feasibility of such a move. It’s unknown if the taxpayers of the village will save any money by joining with Hanover. The state has promised to provide a grant if the village can come up with $13,000 for the study. The board made a motion to provide the Village of Forestville with an interest-free loan of $13,000. The board was assured that loaning the money would make the state grant a “done deal,” and the village would pay back the loan. It is generally assumed that the study will recommend dissolution of the Village government, and voters will approve it. One board member observed that the loan was “an opportunity for more efficient government in Chautauqua County.” The motion passed.

Executive Director Richard Zink reported on several of STW’s continuing projects. Money has been committed to the Manufacturer’s Productivity Improvement Program. So far they have done 15 projects, linking business consultants with manufacturers to improve their efficiency, record keeping, and marketing. The local government records management program is continuing. STW received $49,996 in funding from the NYS Archives to help six municipalities (East Otto, Friendship, Poland, Ripley, and Rushford) convert 83,133 pages of government records to digital files and available on the Internet. The state grants are available every other year, skipped this year, but will be available next year.

lOcal FOOds prOJect STW staff has been visiting farmers markets in the area, interviewing customers to find out how well the needs of consumers are being met. They have observed “first hand” the trends in farmers markets, and how local producers can meet customer’s expectations. STW was able to assist many of the farmers markets in gaining the ability to accept and process many of the income assistance benefits, and published a

handy consumer leaflet listing the various benefits accepted at the region’s 19 farmers markets. Upon receiving a $24,750 grant from the USDA Local Foods Promotion Program, STW commissioned a study of the barriers and opportunities for creating closer ties between animal producers and meat processors in the area. The study was conducted by Philadelphia-based Kitchen Table Consultants. The goal is to increase efficiencies and profitability for both the producers and processors

brOadbaNd prOJect Director Zink talked about STW’s ongoing project of bringing broadband Internet access to the far rural areas of Western New York. He described the effort as “a learning experience,” that has been frustrating at times. He said there had been a lot of pieces of the project to pull together since it began seven years ago. But, he was able to report that the effort is now beginning to bear fruit. The first tower to deliver broadband Internet access will, in the next 60 to 90 days, begin service in Perrysburg. He said they were in discussion with Great Valley about installing a tower there. He said once the project is complete, “the benefit is going to be tremendous.”

registering for them may discourage some students from taking the college-level courses. School Board President Carl Calarco said, in fact, providing such educational opportunities is why the board is there. “It gives the opportunity to show kids they can do it,” added School Superintendent Mark Ward. Others agreed, adding providing the courses reflects a community survey

recently done by parents, who requested more college preparation. Therefore, the district will consider picking up the tab so all students can register for the courses if they would like to take them. The board will also begin to examine policies and procedures associated with community groups using the district’s building, which recently underwent capital improvements. Although a building dedication was recently held, lighting, curtains and locker rooms are still being completed.

While the renovations are being completed, the district is already receiving requests to use the new facilities. Local basketball organizers attended the meeting to ask if they could use the multiple gyms and scoreboards for practices and games. While Ward said such groups offer great opportunities, he said policies such as requiring school personnel at events, should first be examined in case of emergency. In other news, the board will soon host narcan use training for opioid overdose prevention.

determined that making the switch will be seamless. New insurance cards will be issued to employees. A motion was made to switch the employee health insurance to Blue Cross/Blue Shield effective beginning 2016. The motion passed. Supervisor Burrell said the 2016 budget process is going along well. He told the department supervisors to submit their wish lists for their budgets by Friday the 18th. The supervisor said the board needs to reassess the values of the various pumping stations for insurances purposes. The insurance coverage on the station that was hit by lightning was inadequate for its repair. Mr. Burrell intends to issues a Life Saving badge to Office Bouchard for saving a man’s life in front of Gin Mill last month. Although the

gentleman died in the hospital a week later, his family expressed thanks that they had one more week with their father. Burrell said the first responders and the hospital emergency room staff all did an excellent job attending to the man. The department reports were accepted as submitted.HigHWaY superiNteNdeNts

repOrt Superintendent Loyd Hovey said he had seen a demonstration of an asphalt zipper. The machine can pull up asphalt and mill it to be put down again. The device can also be hooked to an oil truck for easy road repair. The machine would cost about $100,000, but Mr. Hovey said the payments can be spread over five years. Supervisor Burrell said the town easily spends $25,000 per year on leasing equipment for road repair, and the purchase could save the town money in the long run. Hovey suggested the town look at obtaining it next

year. A resident of Poverty Hill Road has requested the town put up “Caution Children Playing” signs at his residence. The board had previously discussed having the resident pay for the signs. However, Mr. Hovey seemed to be against putting up the signs, saying a speed limit sign is enforceable, but a caution sign isn’t. He said that the children playing signs can give children a false sense of security, as drivers tend to ignore them. There was a discussion about posting a lower speed limit in the area, but any change in a speed limit must be approved by the state. There was a discussion about putting up a “Caution” sign in the area, at least temporally.

eNgiNeer’s repOrt Mark Alianello said the East Tank Project is done except for wrapping up a few loose ends. The engineer reported that the Holiday Valley Road

Beat on the Street:What Childhood Mischief Did You Get Away With?

Kim R.- Sneaking into my sister’s room and playing in her shoes....leaving plastic spiders on my mom’s pillow...Boy would she SCREAM!!!..then I ran....fast!

Ramsey B.- Jessica E. and I “borrowed” our older sister’s car and drove to Ellicottville back when we were 14 and 15. We got back and ran inside about 30 seconds before Amanda B. came into sight. A few years ago we came clean to our parents, they had no idea.

Amanda S.- Everything: mooning cars, going to the homecoming dance drunk, sneaking in and out of the house, kissing a boy outside of school while my brother and his friends witnessed it from the school bus. He threatened to tell my mom if I didn’t smell his dirty socks for weeks.

By CFNAs children we all were mischievous at one point or another. Acting as miscreants we have all gotten on someone’s nerves and have gotten in trouble. Not one person reading this can say they never behaved badly at one point in their childhood. Doing things that are taboo and looked on as naughty were actually fun, until getting caught. Most of the time we had to say “I’m sorry” growing up was because we were sorry we got caught. All of these instances were learning experiences to utilize when we became part of society and not just little urchins causing havoc. Deliberately misbehaving was an adrenaline rush. And sometimes

getting in trouble was even fun too, when you couldn’t control yourself from laughing while you were getting yelled at, causing others to laugh too.What childhood mischief did you get away with?

John Q.- Streaked a hockey rink.

Vicki E.- Used to drink in the bar at the Chinese Food Restaurant at the ripe old age of 13, drinking age was 18 back then.

Kelsey K.- My sister and I used to tell our brother that everything we didn’t want to share with him had peanuts in it. He hated nuts.

Legendary comedian, Groucho Marx, comes back to hilarious life on October 17 at 8pm when acclaimed Broadway actor, Frank Ferrante brings An Evening with Groucho to Reg Lenna Center for The Arts. Award-winning actor/director/playwright Ferrante recreates his PBS, New York and London acclaimed portrayal of legendary comedian Groucho Marx in this fast paced 90 minutes of hilarity. The two-act comedy consists of the best Groucho one-liners, anecdotes and songs including “Hooray For Captain Spaulding,” and “Lydia, the Tattooed Lady.” The audience literally becomes part of the show

as Ferrante ad-libs his way throughout the performance in grand Groucho style, bringing some of them onstage. “We’ve had several shows at The Reg which involve audience participation.” says Len Barry, Director of Marketing & Communications, “Slapstick Sonata, The Jason Bishop Show and the recent Sing Along with The Muppet Movie all used audience members in fun, memorable ways, breaking the fourth wall.” Accompanied by his onstage pianist, Ferrante portrays the young Groucho of stage and film and reacquaints us with the likes of brothers Harpo, Chico, Zeppo and Gummo, Charlie Chaplin, W.C. Fields, Greta Garbo, Marx foil, Margaret Dumont and MGM’s Louis B. Mayer. Ferrante won the 1987 Theatre World Award for playing Marx and has been endorsed for his portrayal by Morrie Ryskind - the co-writer of the Marx Brothers movies, The Cocoanuts, Animal Crackers and A Night at the Opera. Groucho’s children Arthur and Miriam have also

praised Ferrante. To celebrate what would have been Groucho’s 125th birthday in October, The Reg will also show The Marx Brothers film, Room Service on October 3 at 8pm. The movie also features an early performance from Jamestown-born comedienne and television pioneer, Lucille Ball. Patrons who purchase tickets to An Evening with Groucho will get free tickets to Room Service. Tickets for An Evening with Groucho are $10, 20 and $25 for students and $15, 20 and $25 for adults. The next Reg Presents live event is the music group, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem performing American Spiritual on November 21. To get your seat to the “Showplace of the Chautauqua Region”, call 716.484.7070, buy online at reglenna.com or visit us at 116 E. 3rd St. in Jamestown, NY. Box-office hours are 10am until 5pm, Tuesday through Friday, 10am until 2pm on Saturday and one hour before each performance. Reg Lenna Center for The Arts is your event home here in the heart of the Southern Tier.

dedication. lOcal alarm laW

Attorney Moriarty had the final version of the new Town Local Alarm Law. Ms. Moriarty had incorporated the suggestions made by Jack Rogan at the last board meeting. The law calls for setting up an alarm review board to oversee violations. The $1000 fine for a 5th false alarm was retained. The Supervisor noted that the count resets every year, so the fine would only be levied for a fifth false alarm in one year. He said alarm owners

should be cognizant of the mounting fines for continued false alarms, and that should motivate them to fix the alarm. A motion was made to adopt the law, which passed. John Burrell thanked the committee for their work on the law. The Recreational Trail Committee still has heard nothing about the Tiger grant from the DOT. The $100,000 the board had set aside to guarantee grant funding will expire on December 31st, but can be put in the budget for next year. The board then went into executive session.
