Sue and Dave Jones of West Valley started their journey with 4 gelded males at West Winds Alpaca Ranch in February of 2002. The ranch has grown
tremendously and is now one of the biggest ranches in WNY and the biggest in Cattaraugus County. The ranch is home to 50 alpacas (2 are shown at
left) and a vacation destination for 18 boarded alpacas. Mager Mountain Alpacas of Little Valley (pictured at right) started their adventure about eight

How Great Thou Art.
Our magnificent Lofty Mountain development is located just 9 minutes from Ellicottville.
Call Michael Incorvaia 716-583-0535 or Ciji Riley 716-244-8924
As the developers, we have a keen appreciation of pristine land and the call of nature. Our Lofty Mountain
development is much more than a place for people to have a home on. It is also a place for families to recon-
nect with the deeper rhythms of life.
Being with family and friends and the joys, sites and sounds of nature is what living at Lofty Mountain
Grandeur is all about. It’s a lifestyle residence community, embodying rustic elegance through our award-
winning timber frame homes – along with a mile of professionally designed nature trails to capture meander-
ing streams and lofty vistas of surrounding mountains with all their grandeur.
My sincere advice to potential buyers: view the home, walk the trails, take in the views and listen to the
sounds. After your visit, tour other properties for sale. We think you’ll feel the way we do and buy the one that
keeps calling you back. We have confidence Lofty Mountain Grandeur will be that voice.

Thank you to everyone who participated in last weekend’s Rock N’ Oldies Festival. If
you spent the weekend in town, then you are certainly aware of what a huge success it
was! Thanks to the efforts of co-chairs Sean Lowes (owner of the City Garage) and Mike
Nickolson (owner of the Silver Fox Steakhouse). The car show was our biggest one yet!
With over 255 registered cars and the beautiful weather, the streets were filled with car
enthusiasts, visitors and locals. Terry Buchwald (Elvis) packed the Gazebo lawn and
fun was had by all. A special thank you goes out to Chuck Richardson and all of his
volunteers who parked cars; John Cady, Jim Noonan, John O’Laughlin and Smitty who
did an incredible job of judging these vehicles; the Village and Town police and Mort and
his DPW crew for all of their hard work closing and cleaning up the streets. Once again
the joint efforts of the community coming together made this event the success that it
was. Thank you! Photo/Gary Kinn

GOOD HEALTH STARTS AT HOME
As a natural outgrowth of persisting interest in quality-of-life issues, prospective buyers are showing increasing interest Dekdebruns and the Gin Mill Team Up for Outdoor Movie Night
in lifestyle considerations when making their buying decisions. That is to say, aside from counting bedrooms, baths,
and square footage, buyers are also citing proximity to walking and bicycle paths as among the most important factors
affecting their buying decisions. House-hunters are placing increased emphasis on low traffic density and abundant
amounts of open spaces during their searches for appropriate places to live and raise families. For their part, sellers may
want to extol in their promotional advertising the virtues of properties that are close to playgrounds, parks, conservation
land, and recreational areas. These amenities are sure to draw buyer attention.
Successful marketing of real estate emphasizes the positives. You will benefit from my knowledge and experience in
successfully portraying properties to prospective buyers. Contact me at 716-474-5646 today to arrange an initial meeting.
HINT: While swimming pools cannot always be counted upon to raise the value of a home in buyers’ eyes, some buyers
actively seek out in-ground pools for the exercise and leisure-activity potential.

Are you looking for something totally different to do on a Saturday night? Is the Fall
Season starting to stir your cravings for skiing and snowboarding? Why not come out
and support two Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce members who are hosting free
outdoor movie nights! Dekdebruns and the Gin Mill will be co-sponsoring these ski and
snowboard movie nights Saturdays at 7:30pm October 26 through November 7. See
their ad in this week’s publication of The Villager!

Fall Fest Two Weeks Away

This Year’s Event will Highlight New Vendors in the Food Court

The 34th annual Fall Festival is only two weeks away and every year it just seems to
continue to become a more family-friendly event. Moms and dads will enjoy meandering
through the over 300 art, craft and curb market vendors while the children take their turn
on the Ferris wheel, giant slide or other attractions that the kids carnival has to offer.
This year you will want to make it a point to visit the food court area as new vendors with
a great variety of foods have been added. Your taste buds will be tickled with choices

Chamber Looking for ‘Christmas in Ellicottville’ Ideas
It is hard to believe that
the Christmas season is
approaching, but it is - and
quickly!
As you may all remember,
the season starts here on the
weekend of November 27 with
our Christmas in Ellicottville
celebration. This three-day
event includes all things
Christmas from strolling
carolers, breakfast and firetruck
rides with Santa to interactive
children’s activities.
This year we are asking
anyone in the community who
has an idea of what Christmas
in Ellicottville means to them
to let their ideas be heard by
volunteering to be a part of
the Christmas in Ellicottville
Committee. If you are interested
in helping to make this event
one that truly encompasses the
spirit of Christmas, please give
the Chamber office a call at
699-5046 to sign up.

Safety On The Golf Course Take Advantage of the Buyer’s Incentive!

Elkdale Country Club Now Equipped with Two AEDs
SALAMANCA - Jack Widger,
PGA at Elkdale Country Club,
announced that after a very
successful fundraiser, Elkdale
Country Club is happy to
implement their new Automated
External Defibrillation (AED)
program.
“We decided to place two AEDs
in our club for the safety of our
members and their guests,”
stated Widger. “An AED may
stand as one of the greatest
emergency safety measures
ever developed in the golf and
recreation fields.”
The staff at the Elkdale
Country Club is working with
the American Red Cross,
Southwestern NY Chapter
to complete their AED/CPR
training.
In the cases of Garland
Dempsey and Jerry Fuents,
AEDs certainly demonstrated
their value at golf facilities.
Fuents was a spectator at a
1999 PGA event in Texas, and
Dempsey was working inside the
ropes as a caddie. Each suffered
a heart attack during the event.
Both men received prompt EMS
care, and both men were saved
because medics were equipped
with AED units, which restarted
their malfunctioning hearts and
helped save their lives.
The AED is a device used
to assist someone suffering
from Sudden Cardiac Arrest,
defined as a sudden cessation
(stopping) of one’s heartbeat.
In many cases cardiac arrest
occurs when the heart has been,
or is in, ventricular fibrillation: a
disruption in its proper muscular
rhythm and pulse resulting in a
disruption of blood circulation.
According to the American
Heart Association, and despite
general advances in medicine
and individual health and
dietary practices, more than 800
people still die every day from
cardiac arrest. That’s one person
every 29 seconds and more than
300,000 deaths from cardiac
arrest each year. Cardiac arrest
does not discriminate. Any one,
at any age, can suffer a Sudden
Cardiac Arrest. There is often
no indication that the victim has
any problem with their heart.
Only an AED can save someone
suffering a sudden cardiac
arrest.
If that figure can be swallowed,
then here’s one that will be of
interest to all those in the golf
business. Statistics have shown
that a golf course is now the 5th
most likely place where those
300,000-plus cardiac arrests
may occur. When you consider
that hospitals and homes are No.
1 and No. 2, the golf course’s
No. 5 ranking is surprising
indeed.
In addition, it’s estimated that
almost 20 percent of all golf
course facilities will have a
cardiac emergency, and it’s now
the No. 1 cause of death at golf
facilities worldwide.
New York State offers a $500
tax credit to individuals and
corporations who purchase
AEDs. Go to www.nysaed.com
to learn more about the laws
regarding AEDs, the tax credits
available and how to equip your
place of business or home with
an AED.

a handful of breweries around
the country are able to get
their hands on freshly picked
hops. Their goal is to get these
freshly picked hops from the
fields to their brew kettles as
quick as possible to make a
“wet hopped beer.”
In Western New York and
on the East Coast in general,
this has been logistically
complicated and cost
prohibitive, especially with
today’s rising shipping costs
and growing environmental
concerns over our carbon
footprint. Today most of our
nation’s hops are grown in
Oregon, Idaho and the Yakima
Valley of Washington.
Just this past August, Peter
Kreinheder, owner of the
Ellicottville Brewing Company
and Brewmaster Dan Minner
took the opportunity to go to
Yakima, Washington and attend
the 6th annual Hop and Brew
School event. Here, alongside
nearly 200 of the nation’s
craft brewers, they learned
about hops production. Upon
graduation the brewers were
able to step into the field to see
the hops firsthand. Through
knowledge back to New York.
Because it is so time crucial
as to when the hops are picked
and immediately put into
the brewing procedure, it is
lucky EBC is located near
a region that used to be the
Hop Capital of our young
brewing nation, so they don’t
have to depend on importing
the crop from Washington.
During the early 1900s, 43 of
New York’s counties had hop
farms operating within their
boundaries. Farm communities
throughout the state reaped the
benefits from the growth of the
beer industry as new breweries
were built to quench the thirst
of our growing population.
Unfortunately, Downey
mildew killed off a significant
amount of hop acreage and
farmers were forced to change
crops or face losing their
plot. The farmers who were
fortunate enough to avoid the
devastating mildew were made
obsolete by Prohibition in 1914
… until now.
Brewers from around
NYS have been working
in conjunction with local
farmers to make hops a viable
crop in our fields once again.
tends to his crops on land that
has been growing hops since
the late 1700s. He watches
until the hops are just right
- plump, vibrant green, and
having a pungent citrusy floral
aroma. When the hops have
fully matured, he hand picks
them off the vine, packs them
up in the back of his wife’s
Subaru and drives them down
to Ellicottville. EBC patiently
awaits the arrival of these
delicate flowers, having our
batch of harvest ale ready for
its hop additions. Their New
York State wet hopped ale is
called Hopicity and it benefits
from having all the delicious
qualities of using whole fresh
hops. The bigger benefit
however may just be a rebirth,
no matter how small, of an
industry that greatly influenced
our area.
EBC received the hops three
weeks ago from Pompey and
released the wet hopped ale
this week. Stop in, help support
your local brewery and local
hop farming, and try a pint.

Architectural Digest
A Converted Church Exudes Charm
BY IAN BIGGS
If ever one walks around the
Village of Ellicottville, you
can find all sorts of interesting
buildings. What I have noticed
since living here the past year
is a number of churches that
have been converted into
residences. These churches
were surely once busy houses
of worship, but with passing
generations, and a decline in
church membership, many
churches around the country
have been neglected. It
is good to see then, that
many, including the disused
churches of Ellicottville, have
been saved and renovated by
compassionate owners and
Many of the original design features have been left in the
house (church) including ample woodwork and the stained
glass windows that can be found throughout each individual
dwelling. The living areas in each apartment are spacious and
the vaulted ceilings lend a sense of grandeur to the space.
converted into dwellings or
office buildings. One such
church is located at 9 Park;
kitty corner, northwest of the
town hall.
It has been owned since1979
by Florida resident John
Perkes who converted the
church into three separate
and large apartments that
total over 3300 square feet.
“We bought the property
from the Methodist Church
who had converged from two
congregations into one.” A
friend from Canada was an
architect who consequently
drew up the plans in exchange
for a piano that had been left
by the church. Perkes “did a
lot of the work himself” and
used red oak wood from the
alter and pews in various parts
of the now apartments. There
are in total, two 3-bedroom,
one and a half bath apartments,
and a one bedroom one and a
half bath apartment. From the
street, the building still looks
as original as it did after it was
built in 1920. Many of the
original design features have
been left in the house (church)
including ample woodwork
and the grandiose stained glass
windows that can be found
throughout each individual
dwelling.
The first 3-bedroom
apartment is reached through
the main entrance and up a
set of stairs. The front door
to the apartment harks back
to the gothic influenced era
with its rounded and pointed
top. Entering this particular
apartment (or almost town
home with its three stories),
one is immediately struck by
this massive stained window
and large fireplace that extends
the height of the living room.
These large windows, found in
all three of the apartments, give
them each a majestic and airy
feel. The apartments are large
by Ellicottville standards and
the two 3-bedroom apartments
are set up over three floors. In
each, the ground floor finds
the living area, a good-sized
u-shaped kitchen and half
bathroom. The kitchens have
some newer appliances and
the siding and roof are nearly

I have a strong personal
belief that there is a
connection between the mind
and body. The mind and
body need to be in balance
to live an optimal life. I am
talking about the connection
between our physical well-
being, and our emotions and
thoughts. It has been proven
through science that our state
of mind powerfully affects our
physical bodies.
If our minds are full of
negative thoughts and we
feel a constant state of stress,
our bodies will respond in a
negative way. We negatively
influence our bodies if our
thoughts are negative. Chronic
stress, depression, and anxiety
will lead to disease, obesity and
a decreased immune system.
A negative state of mind will
racing with negative thoughts
or when you are feeling
positive and your thoughts are
optimistic?
When we are emotionally
positive, we take better care
of our bodies. We eat better,
sleep better, and we are more
likely to engage in exercise
or physical activities. Positive
emotions encourage us to
explore new experiences,
engage in social activities, and
they boost our creative thought
process, resulting in better
problem-solving abilities.
To clarify, happiness and
having a positive emotional
state of mind is not just
acting happy, happy, joy, joy.
A positive emotional state of
mind also includes appreciation
and gratitude for the good
things in your life. Positive
emotions include interest,
curiosity, and enjoyment.
Feelings of serenity, pleasure,
mood - well it’s true. Take a
brisk 20-minute walk. Just be,
sit quietly for 10 minutes, and
simply appreciate all the good
in your life. There is plenty to
be grateful for. Do something
for someone else. There is a
sense of pride and satisfaction
when we help another person.
I believe that we each strive
to achieve a sense of well-
being and balance in our
lives. However, we somehow
complicate life, making things
harder than they actually need
to be. Achieving the balance
between the mind and body
does not require great effort;
it simply demands conscious
awareness of our state of mind
resulting in a strong healthy
body.

Get your thinking caps out,
take note of my e-mail address
at the end of this column and
get ready to write. Last week
I wrote a column titled ‘The
Death of Civility.’ Now look
up. This week’s column is
titled The Rebirth of Civility.
That’s where you come in.
Read on.
For those of you who
missed it, last week’s column
concerned our nation’s sudden

spiral in political discourse.
Our continuing nastiness
Playing the largest variety towards one another reached
a deafening crescendo a few
of music from the 70’s, weeks back with Rep. Joe

of President Obama during
a joint session of congress.
Wilson’s shouted accusation
toward the President has
become a lightening rod for
political hacks and thinkers
on both sides of the aisle. The
letters I received concerning
the column were pretty much

solutions. Everyone seems
content with hating everyone

to take a small step towards
fixing ourselves even if that
means taking a tiny step
towards civil discourse in our
own little neck of the woods.
I remember reading an
interesting article towards the
end of last year’s Presidential
race. The author of the
article, who’s name I forget,
conducted an experiment
in civics at several political
rallies across the country. He
would ask Obama supporters
to say something nice about

supporters the same question.
It never failed. Everyone he
asked had something nice to
say about the other guy. Those
were the good old days. Today
there’s been a line drawn in
the sand and no one seems
willing to cross it. Until now.
Hopefully.
I’d like to try and get everyone
who reads this article to send
me an e-mail about a political
figure they dislike. I don’t
care who it is. It could be the
President, a radio or television
personality, a blogger, a
member of congress. Anyone
at all as long as you disagree
with their politics. In the letter
I’d like you to say something
nice about that person. Be
genuine and concise. If I get
enough mail I’ll write about
the results at a later date and
maybe even publish a few of
the best letters. I know we
can do it. We’re human and
if we become so consumed
with hate towards the other
side, we’ll be in danger of
losing ourselves in a morass of
finger pointing and profanity.
We cannot allow ourselves
to forget the humanity on the
other side of our accusations.
People we hate have families
and loved ones. People we
hate have lives outside of
politics and they live and die
the same as we do. Opinions
do not define an entire life.
They cannot.
I’ll get the ball rolling. I don’t
like George W. Bush. Everyone
knows that already. What they
probably don’t know is that
I’ve always considered Bush
to be a person I might like
outside of politics. He seems
like a genuinely normal guy.
Someone I might like to have
a beer with. I have a distinct
feeling that the untouchable,
sneaky image I have of Bush
was created by his handlers as
a way to separate him from his
policies. You might find this
amazing, but I’ve always felt
sorry for Bush and the way I
sometimes speak about him.
Bush truly believes in what he
did as President. He seems to
be a man of deep convictions
and I respect that in a person.
I also like the fact that Bush
has stayed above the current
political fray. He respects the
office no matter who’s sitting
in the chair. Phew. That was
tough.
Now you. Take your time.
Think about it. You don’t have
to love or even respect a person
to find something nice to say
about them. Trust me. You’ll
feel better about yourself after
doing it. Let’s try to move
beyond the hatred and seek
some sort of compromise. Our
very humanity may depend on
it.

FALL FESTIVAL: OCTOBER 10-11 ~ ELLICOTTVILLE


Alpaca
CONT. FROM FRONT PAGE
they will even keep people
out.”
Sue and Dave Jones of West
Valley started their journey
with 4 gelded males at West
Winds Alpaca Ranch in
February of 2002. The Ranch
has grown tremendously and is
now one of the biggest ranches
in Western New York and the
biggest in Cattaraugus County.
The ranch is home to 50 alpacas
and a vacation destination for
18 boarded alpacas.
In 2003 Timm and Helen
Herman bought three pregnant
females to start their ranch,
located in Ellicottville. They
now have 22 including 5 show
champions. People from 15
states across the country come
to breed their alpacas with the
champion males at Sugartown
Farms. Helen and Timm
show their alpacas across the
east including Syracuse, NY,
Harrisburg, Pa. and Louisville,
KY. Show alpacas are halter
trained, much like a horse.
They walk on a lead and can
turn, jog and run. They may
show like a horse, but are
easier to take care of.
“They LOVE the winter,”
said Sue Jones. She said that
they were incredibly easy to
take care of during the winter.
Helen explained that they need
daily hay and water, worming
shots about once a month, and

feet tall, would be visible above
the ridgeline, and stated that the
towers would be unsightly.
The board responded by
stating that there is a 100-
foot linear line extending out
from each side of the town’s
protected ridges, which
severely limits potential tower
sites, and that the structures
cannot exceed the height of the
top of the protected ridges or
their tree line. The board also
noted that the town originally
created its rules on windmill
construction at a time when
the state government attempted
to take away the towns and
villages’ abilities to control
construction of windmills in the
hopes of limiting state power
over the town.
After the public hearing
closed, some board members
expressed concern over
allowing windmill construction
in low-density zones, and a
motion was made to remove
the ability to build windmills in
the low-density zones from the
zoning law. The motion passed
3 to 2.
A resolution to change
the zoning laws to prevent
windmill construction in low-
density zones was accepted,
and the board will hold a public
hearing at their next monthly
meeting.
The effective date for the
implementation of the new
zoning law has also been
moved from Nov. 1 to Dec. 1.
The board discussed plans to
have up to 18 police officers
working during the 2009 Fall
Festival, with the town, village
and chamber of commerce
splitting the cost. The board
noted that they are paying the
officers, instead of contracting
out the Sheriff’s Department,
because they wish to give the
communities involved direct
control over the event. The

Canada. “Our chairman, John
Meyerhoff of Sardinia, wanted
to hold the event at a (ski) resort”
and is familiar with Holiday
Valley. In describing Saturday’s
activities, Messehl noted “this
is a judged car show” open to
all area Corvette owners and
enthusiasts. “All classes will
be judged by our judges.” The
oldest models date back to 1953.
While noting there have not
been a lot of pre-registrations,
Messehl is hoping for a good
turnout on Saturday while
noting that they are “weather
dependent.”
Messehl was quick to agree
that Corvette owners are a
passionate group when it comes
to their cars. He noted that
FALL FEST MOUNTAIN BIKE RACE: OCTOBER 11 ~ HOLIDAY VALLEY RESORT
routine vet visits, especially
when breeding.
Large windows in Sue
and Paul Mager’s home that
overlook the pasture give the
perfect view to watch the crias
at dusk. “They all stretch their
legs and run around the field,”
said Paul. “They look like pogo
sticks as they pronk around the
field. It is a lot of fun to just sit
and watch them.”
“I love hanging out with
them,” Sue Jones said with a
smile. “I can have the absolute
worst day and I go over to the
ranch and go out to the pasture,
watch the babies run and jump,
get a few kisses and life is
good again.”
“They are so cute,” Helen
Herman said. “And once you
get them they are hard to get
rid of. But they are livestock,
and we definitely are interested
in their fibers.”
Alpaca fibers are often
compared to cashmere - soft
and warm. It is as warm as
wool but ¼ of the weight. A
couple of times per year they
are shorn without any harm,
much like a sheep. Helen said
they send a lot of their fiber to
the North American Fiber Co-
op to make sweaters, socks and
blankets, and sends the rest to a
fiber mill to make yarn.
One thing many alpaca
owners have in common is
their willingness to help new
farmers get started.
“It doesn’t matter to us where
you get them, but we want
everyone in the business to
board appointed five special
events officers, which they can
hire at any time of the year for
up to three days a month, in
anticipation of the event.
Mark Alianello, head of
the Engineering Department,
informed the board about a reply
he received from Morningside
Estates in response to a letter
from the planning board asking
them to connect the site’s water
supply to the town’s. The
response from Morningside
Estates said that they lacked
the funds and had ownership
issues, and would be unable to
make the suggested repairs.
Alianello asked the board if
they would fund the costs to
connect the water systems since
the site currently poses a fire
hazard. He said the project’s
estimated cost is under $4,000,
though an exact figure was not
possible without investigating
the site. He said the owner
has agreed to pay the legal
fees to cover the dedication of
the water system to the town.
He stated that a county health
inspection at the water treatment
facility found that a gas sensor
needed to be lowered, a visible
and audio sensor needed to
be installed and that paint and
other materials needed to be
removed from storage in the
chlorine room. The county set a
compliance date of Oct. 1.
Alianello noted that a water
surfacing issue located at
Hilltop Drive is not connected
to the town’s water supply, and
appears to be caused by an old
drain trench. He noted that the
road is on private property, and
since the damage is not caused
by the town’s water supply, it is
not a town issue.
The board accepted a motion to
accept a draft of the proposal to
sell or lease the Town Highway
Barn. The board agreed that a
cover letter would be sent to
any interested parties noting
that the property’s assessment
and environmental impact
report are available to anyone
interested in purchasing or
Corvettes of Buffalo is a “social
club” that does a lot of traveling.
Some members have five or
six cars each, “and that’s quite
a passion.” One person spent
ten years restoring a drag race
car “pretty close to the way it
came from the factory.” Messehl
encourages everyone to come
out and take a look at “some
pretty nice cars.”
Corvettes of Buffalo “doesn’t go
out and recruit (new members)
because we don’t have to.”
A Corvette Caravan held this
year at Salvatore’s Restaurant
near Buffalo attracted 150 cars.
The caravan involves a 75-mile
police-escorted drive through
the countryside. Also, “it seems
every year someone writes that
they’ve seen us on the internet”
and becomes interested in
joining the club.
John Meyerhoff said he set
about to fill a void and “have the
September 24-30, 2009 ~ The Villager ~ Page 11
