Nationally Known Horseback Rider Tom Seay Visits Ellicottville Area to Film for ‘Best of America by Horseback’
BY NICHOLAS PIRCIO
WPIG 95.7 FM
Nationally-known horseback
enthusiast and Virginia farmer
Tom Seay paid a recent visit to
Ellicottville and the Southern Tier,
and came away impressed by what
he experienced. In fact, he promises
to come back soon.
Seay possesses an impressive
resume when it comes to his
outdoor adventures. Currently the
producer of the television program,
“Best of America by Horseback,”
Seay conducted “The American
Transcontinental Trail Ride” from
Georgia to California in 1995,
and just recently completed a trek
ranging from Mexico to Canada. But
now he’s found a warm spot in his
heart for Ellicottville and vicinity.
Tom Seay is very familiar with
horses, having had them since he
was five years old. His current
“Best of America by Horseback”
television show grew out of the
1995 Atlantic to Pacific horseback
ride, evolving into programs that
spotlight a location as more than
“here’s where you ride your horse.”
His travels have included historical
places like the Lewis and Clark trail,
the Pony Express route, and the old
cattle trails. He loves being outdoors,
noting his blood pressure fell from
“almost stroke level” to “perfect”
after completing the Mexico to
Canada trip. “There’s something
pretty healthy about what we do.”
Carol Lawrence, a board member
of the Cattaraugus Chautauqua

to organize Tom Seay’s four-
day visit. Lawrence says
organizers set up “a very
aggressive itinerary” of
several stops, so he could see
“the very best of what both
counties have to offer” in
terms of tourism attractions
and accommodations. “We had
great fun showing him area
amenities like Ellicottville,
Holiday Valley, Onoville
Marina, and Chautauqua
Institution.” The tour traveled
“just shy of eight hundred
miles in four days” through
the two counties, this time by
car, not horse.
For their part, Holiday
Valley was happy to welcome
Tom Seay as their guest.
Jane Eshbaugh, Director of
Marketing at Holiday Valley
said, “He’s a really great guy
with a great personality, really
funny. We were able to show
him some of the things that are
available to people when they
are not riding.” She pointed
out that there are plenty of
things to do in Cattaraugus
County, on and off the trails.
Seay commented, “I’ve never
felt more welcome, more
at home” in this area. He
appreciated the hospitality of
the New York Horse Council
and is considering including
the Southern Tier as part
of a possible “major trip
around New York focusing
on this area with horses and
wagons,” perhaps next fall
or the following spring. The
idea would be to “highlight
the people, the beauty, and the
attributes of this area.” He
added, “I cannot wait to come
back here.”
Seay was raised on a farm,
and harvesting corn was one
of the tasks with which he was
involved. Watching the local
Amish community harvest

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.

Our friends at the Salamanca Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting their Falling Leaves
Festival this weekend, October 2-4. The Chamber team has let their creativity flow and will
be having an exiting new competition Saturday starting at 1pm, a “Hula Dog” contest. What
exactly is a Hula Dog contest you may be asking? Well, it can be viewed as a new spin on
a good old hot dog eating competition or adding a little bite to a hula-hoop contest. Either
way this sounds like something you won’t want to miss. Pictured above is Jane Paskuly
with a hot dog in-hand and a hula-hoop on the hips. Think you can beat that? Contact the

Pumpkinville Welcomes the Return of a Popular Contest this Sunday

GREAT VALLEY, NY - Fans
of pumpkins weighing more
than 1,000 pounds should make
their way to Pumpkinville this
Sunday, October 4 at noon.
Western New York’s largest
Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off
takes center stage at the area’s
premier fall family attraction.
More than 40 giant pumpkins
are expected for the weigh-off
including reports from the
entrants that approximately
10 of the pumpkins will weigh
more than 1,000 pounds.
Despite the wet weather which
might reduce the number
of 1,000 pound pumpkins
entered, several of the growers
say their pumpkins have a
legitimate chance to beat the
New York State record of
1,631 pounds.
“Last year’s weigh-off was
phenomenal, and from the
information we’re getting, this
year’s will be even better,”
said Dan Pawlowski, who
owns Pumpkinville with his
wife Diane. “We’re flattered
when people tell us we’re the
best contest in the area and
recommend us to other giant
pumpkin growers throughout
the northeast.”
The winner of last year’s
contest tipped the scales at
1,403 pounds. This year’s prize
purse will be more than $5,000
with the grower of the largest
pumpkin receiving $1,000.
In addition to the weigh-off,
Giant Pumpkin sculptures will
be demonstrated during the
weekend.
Owners Dan and Diane
Pawlowski are still beaming
from Pumpkinville’s 2008
win of New York State’s
Agri-Tourism Award from
the I LOVE NEW YORK
campaign.
“That win last year made
us work even harder this
year to grow Pumpkinville
into a bigger regional tourist
attraction,” Dan notes.
New York State’s oldest,
continuously working
pumpkin farm, Pumpkinville
has increased in size and
added attractions, making it
the largest regional tourist
destination for Western New
York’s autumn season. Open
More than 40 giant pumpkins are expected for the weigh-
off including reports from the entrants that approximately
10 of the pumpkins will weigh more than 1,000 pounds.
In addition to the weigh-off, which begins at noon this
Sunday, October 4, Giant Pumpkin sculptures will be
demonstrated. Photo/Gary Kinn
through October 31 from
9am-7pm each day, the 200-
acre farm in Great Valley has
transformed into a family-
friendly attraction with two-
dozen activities that appeal to
people of all ages.
In addition to the 10-acre
pumpkin patch and 1870s era
cider mill that allows visitors
the unique experience of
seeing how apple cider was
made back in the late 1800s,
Pumpkinville has added
several new attractions. They
include Di’s Pies & Bake
Shoppe. The on-site working
bakery features a multitude
of sweets. Watch as pumpkin
bread, pumpkin cookies,
muffins, pies and their widely
renowned pumpkin donuts are
made, and then buy and eat
them as they come out of the
oven. Also grab a rubber duck
and race in the Ducky Derby
using old-fashioned hand
water pumps.
This year’s ongoing
Pumpkinville events include
the popular Six-Acre Corn
Maze, one of the largest in the
U.S. Find hidden messages
in the maze to win prizes.
Visitors can fire The Corn
Cannon and aim corncobs at
hay bale targets. Pony Rides
are available, along with a
fun “Cow Train” for the
kids. On Goat Mountain, you
feed the goats as you climb
the mountain. You’ll also see
more farm animals and take a
Hay Ride. The Pumpkinville
Grille features hot dogs,
sausage, barbecue pork, chili
and homemade curly fries
available daily, with mouth-
watering chicken barbecue
dinners on weekends.
Pumpkinville is located at
4844 Sugartown Road (off
Route 98) in Great Valley, just
a few miles from Ellicottville.
Pumpkinville originated in
the early 1960s by Joe and
Helen Halloran. They started
by growing and selling
pumpkins on the roadside
and each year it grew a little
more. In 1996, they entrusted
Pumpkinville to the current
owners, the Pawlowski family.
Since then Dan and Diane
and their children, Lisa and
Jim combined their creativity
with hard work to grow
Pumpkinville into the regional
tourist attraction it is today
with more than 80,000 people
visiting during the six week
season. For more information
about Pumpkinville, please call
716-699-2205 or 699-2994.

THE BEST OF TIMES
The present may well be the best of times for first-time homebuyers. Not only are home prices as low as they have been in
years, but mortgage rates are at historic lows. In addition, the government is offering first-time homebuyers a tax credit worth
$8,000 or 10% of their home’s value (whichever is less). First-time buyers, for the purpose of the tax credit, are those who have
not owned a home in three years. According to the IRS, the credit does not have to be paid back if the home remains the buyer’s
primary residence for at least 36 months after the purchase date. The credit phases out for those whose adjusted gross income
exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers).
Whether you are a first-time buyer, or a seasoned investor, I can help you achieve your real estate investment goals. I have a
successful history of helping buyers find the property that best suits their requirements. Contact me today at 716-474-5646 to
arrange an initial meeting.
HINT: According to the Treasury Department, nearly one out of two homebuyers bought for the first time last year.
It’s Fall season ...
fall in love with your new home!

has been able to give more than

Rally in the Valley was
introduced to the area by local
business leaders who saw
what other communities have
done with similar events and
wanted to bring that same type
of experience to Olean. They
knew the event would draw
many people from outside the
area and the longer they ran the
event the larger it would grow.
In addition, they knew there
were many bikers in this area
that would love an event like this
that was close to home.
“We have gone to great lengths
and take great pride in the fact
that our Rally in the Valley
continues to be an event that
all members of the family can
attend. We get a great feeling
just seeing little kids walking
with dad and mom looking at all

The Salamanca Area Chamber Gift Certificates * Spa Parties

of Commerce presents this
year’s boxing competition
brought to you by The
Knockout Factory, who will
put on a spectacular U.S.A.
Amateur Boxing Competition
on Saturday night, October
3 at the 32nd Annual Falling
Leaves Festival. This event is
sponsored by Seneca Gaming
and Entertainment and will
feature several exciting bouts, a
top name boxing announcer and
the famous “Knockout Factory
Knockouts” round card girls.
The competition is FREE to the
public and will start at 6pm.
The Knockout Factory, located
at the top of South Main Street
in Salamanca, is the largest
boxing and mixed martial arts
facility in Western New York.
All of the coaches have attained
their Level 2 Certification and
are former fighters themselves.
The facility contains a 20’x20’
professional boxing ring, a
mixed wrestling and martial
arts cage, a weight area and
speed bag area, an equipment
wall, a matted area for mixed
martial arts and a mirrored wall
for fine tuning skills. The gym,
which is owned and operated by
Mike ‘Snake’ Tome, opened in
2001 and is free and open to the
public.
On any given night, there will
be several local kids gearing up
for a competition, whether it’s
a regional boxing competition,
weight lifting competition, or
an out of state mixed martial
arts competition. Mike said, “I
like to be sure these kids are
both physically and mentally
prepared for their competitions.
The workouts teach them many
things, not just about fighting,
but about life in general. We
can get kids off the couch and
off the streets and have them
do something productive that
will teach them valuable life
lessons.”
These lessons have paid off
for those individuals as the
Knockout Factory’s combined
fight record in 2008 stood at
100 wins and only 27 losses, as
well as numerous trophies and
gym awards. Mike has had his
share of champions come out of
the gym. Charlie Fitzsimmons

was the 2006 heavyweight
Ringside World Champion and
is devoted to a training regimen
at the Factory. The Knockout
Factory has also had contenders
and winners in mixed martial
arts bouts in Ohio, and Mike
routinely takes fighters across
the country to compete in
national events.
Mike Tome is no stranger to
boxing and the martial arts. “I’ve
been involved with boxing and
the martial arts all my life. I grew
up watching Muhammad Ali
and I’ve always been involved
in fighting of some form.”
He has attended professional
judging and referee seminars
and certification classes given
by the Association of Boxing
Commissions (ABC). The ABC
provides a forum for State and
Tribal Athletic Commissions
from across the U.S. and Canada
to set up national, organized
regulations, certify referees and
judges, and establish ratings
criteria. These classes are meant
to teach the basic fundamentals
of judging and refereeing,
ensure the health and safety
of the fighter and preserve the
integrity of the sport.
Mike says, “Since opening
my gym I have been diligently
educating myself and several
Knockout Factory coaches in
the complexities of regulating
professional combat sports. We
are now certified to officiate
fights in any tribal or state
jurisdiction in the U.S.A. but our
focus is to bring professional
boxing and mixed martial arts to
our local area.” The Knockout
Factory gym is open to the
public and is free of charge from
6-8:30pm Monday through
Friday. Certified coaches are
available for instruction. They
can be reached at 716-945-
3560. “The creation of a safe
environment for youth to come
to is very important to me.”
One of the most successful
events held by the Knockout
Factory was at the 29th Annual
Falling Leaves Festival in
2006. It was deemed a huge
success, drawing upwards of
2,000 people. This is a show

Ellicottville Trading Company Moves Into Kazoo II’s Downstairs
Game Day Opponent Time Sponsored by:

Sun, Oct. 4 @ Miami Dolphins 4:05pm

Using the space that was previously Kazoo’s toy department (which has since moved to the
back of the well established store), Mike Trainor will be featuring his own custom woodwork
along with area artisans, selling one of a kind pieces ranging from Amish Rugs, place and
door mats and hand crafted clocks, to hand painted mirrors and wall hangings and antiques.
BY IAN BIGGS
Building furniture has been a
hobby of Mike Trainor’s for the
past seven years, and an interest
for even longer. His one-time
hobby has since flourished into
a fully fledged business building
custom furniture for clients
from all over. He has now taken
his custom furniture business
one step further and will be
opening a brand new store, The
Ellicottville Trading Company,
this coming Monday downstairs
in the Kazoo II establishment
at 18 Washington Street,
Ellicottville.
Using the space that was
previously Kazoo’s toy
department (which has since
moved to the back of Arlene
Solly’s well established store),
Mike, a happy and jovial guy,
will be featuring his own
custom woodwork along with
area artisans, selling one of
a kind pieces ranging from
Amish Rugs, place and door
mats and hand crafted clocks, to
hand painted mirrors and wall
hangings and antiques.
There are many unique items
and “something for everyone”
in his new shop by talented
artists, he said. One such artist
that is represented at the Trading
Company is Diane Hummel,
who designs and crafts
Southwestern objects such as
hand painted gourds. Diane said
that she “has always wanted to
be a cowgirl” and has an affinity
for the Southwestern region
of the country. Her detailed
work complements the mostly
western themed furniture and
accessories that the Trading Post
has to offer.
Mike’s own work features
items such as - but not limited
to - benches, chairs and tables,
using fine woods including
black walnut, cherry and tap
maple. His work uses mortis
and tenon joinery and his
attention to detail in his work is
readily apparent; his enthusiasm
and passion show in talking of
his trade.
Mike was in the building
contracting trade for twenty-
three years before deciding to
delve into the custom made
furniture business. “Each
piece is one of a kind,” he
said, describing the hand built
furniture he makes. Ninety

We need to recognize the
examples of history in order
to overcome the odds that
are staked against us. The

America as a shining example

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