Mike Sherburne, general manager of the Wingate by Wyndham, presents check to Kathleen Moriarty, chairperson of the Christmas in Ellicottville event.
Wingate Signature Sponsor of Christmas in Ellicottville
The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce would like to sincerely thank the Wingate by Wyndham for their generous sponsorship of Christmas in Ellicottville.
As the signature sponsor of this event, the Wingate by Wyndham not only provides a monetary donation that helps to fund the many activities that take place all weekend long, such as breakfasts with Santa, horse and wagon rides, fi re truck rides with Santa and Christmas crafts, but they also provide the use of their facility for many of the activities. All of the activities taking place throughout the Christmas in Ellicottville weekend are provided to children free of charge.
Thank you Wingate by Wyndham, once again, for your display of community spirit and generosity!
By Anne NorthrupLast year Joey did not have any gifts under the Christmas tree
for his parents or his big sister Nancy. This year little Joey is driving on a snowy Sunday afternoon in December to Santa’s Workshop with Nancy and their parents. In the back seat of the car he is holding his piggy bank to shop for Christmas presents for his family.
When the family walks into Santa’s Workshop they are greeted by Santa’s Elves. The Workshop is decorated for Christmas and fi lled with gifts to choose from. His parents are escorted to a private waiting area where they enjoy refreshments while the Elves help Joey and Nancy select presents for them. The kids then each get a chance to privately pick out gifts for each other. The gifts are then taken to the elves gift wrap station where the gifts are individually wrapped.
Joey is not required to pay for the gifts but very proud to be able to donate something for them so he drops fi fty cents into the jar at checkout. The family leaves with two happy kids and their wrapped gifts that the kids will be able to put under their tree for Christmas morning. The spirit of giving is alive in well in them.
This is the concept of Santa’s Workshop. This is a highly confi dential and special service that Family Support for Ellicottville feels is a great way to give back to our community by helping local families in need. Throughout the year Family Support for Ellicottville directly helps families in the Ellicottville School District in a variety of ways. 100 percent of all monies donated to Family Support for Ellicottville remain in our community and support the needs that arise during these diffi cult economic times. Family Support for Ellicottville (an affi liate of the Rotary Foundation for Youth) is a 501c3 charitable foundation so your donation is tax deductible.
How can you help? Save the date for the ninth annual Irish
Christmas, Friday December 6th at the Gin Mill located on Washington Street in Ellicottville. Once again Robert McCarthy has spearheaded this fun fi lled amazing event that will directly benefi t the Family Support for Ellicottville group and Santa’s Workshop! Although a monetary donation is preferred so that we can purchase gifts for particular age groups, we also happily accept unwrapped gifts. You can bring your donation to the Gin Mill on December 6th. There will be a live auction including handcrafted items from Ireland Irish whiskey, hotel and ski packages as well as many other wonderful items. Back by popular demand this year there will be a special pie auction. Our locals have dug out their favorite recipes for pie, so you will see some extraordinary creations that you can bid on. This is always a fun event so mark your calendars. Events start at 6:00 PM
Need help in fi guring out ideas for gifts? Monetary donations are always the best but we can help steer you if you want to provide a gift. This year we will be servicing 100 plus recipients. The gifts that we need are those for every age and gender including parents, teenagers, and children. Some ideas would be fl ashlights, tools, hats, scarves, toiletries, watches, cologne and perfume, toys, electronics, games, etc…etc.. If you have any questions about the event or the project please call Mila at 997-9649.
What if I you can’t make it to Irish Christmas on the December 6th? No need to worry you can drop off your unwrapped gift or monetary donation at 47 Elizabeth St., between 10:00 AM & 3:00 PM or call 699-8758. Please drop off all gifts and donations by December 6th if you are unable to attend the fun fi lled evening at the Gin Mill. You can also send your donations to Family Support for Ellicottville, PO BOX 101, Ellicottville, NY 14731.
Support your community and help provide a special holiday for those that need a little assistance. Giver’s Gain! Happy Holidays!

Food Pantry Collection Nov. 21 in
Front of Gin MillThe Ellicottville Food Pantry
needs constant contributions of food and money to continue serving those in our area who cannot afford to buy enough food for their family.
Thursday, Nov. 21, marks the fi fth year that Bob McCarthy’s John Deere tractor and trailer will be parked outside the Gin Mill to collect donations of food for the pantry. Beginning around 9 a.m. until about 6:45 p.m., McCarthy will entertain passersby with Irish music and stories galore. As vehicles pull alongside, he will gladly assist them in transferring donations to the trailer.
“I do it right about now because it’s getting close to Thanksgiving. Because of that one event, there has been such an awareness of the food pantry. People are in need,” said McCarthy.
McCarthy loves Ellicottville and does just about anything to help people.
“The idea is that if it’s only a can of soup, that’s a can of soup the food pantry didn’t have the day before,” said McCarthy.
The Ellicottville Food Pantry serves Otto, East Otto, Great Valley, Ellicottville and West Valley and accepts donations all year. To fi nd out the best
time to drop off donations, call (716) 699-4003. You can also send a check made out to Ellicottville Public Charities and send it to P.O. Box 1387, Ellicottville, NY 14731-1387.

Connections: MEATBALLS FOR SAD
BY JEFF MARTIN
I’m sad.This week marks what has to be the second straight week
of cloudy skies, rain and biting wind. The only thing missing are meatballs.
This isn’t easy for me. For f ive years, I lived in an area that had unrelenting sunshine. Once, in October, I counted 28 straight days of clear skies. The sun was a constant. The temperature remained at 73 deg rees. Indian summer. Indian summer. Indian summer.
And more Indian summer.When I moved to Western New York, I was warned. Reach
late October and the sky goes dark for six months. Moody by nature, I was concerned. What af fect would such a climate have on a person who was, even in the midst of a sunlight bath, a bit melancholy?
I g rew up in Northeast Ohio, so I was accustomed to such conditions. I remember it being dif f icult, especially when late winter arr ived. I felt like I was walking with a noose around my neck. I slept more. I ate more. I read the novels of Dostoyevsky, an author I could never read in the hey-day of summer sun.
Recently I’ve been researching some ways to combat what the medical community is beg inning to acknowledge more and more as a leg itimate physiolog ical condition: SAD, or seasonal af fective disorder.
Basically, three things happen during SAD: your biolog ical clock is out of whack, interrupting your circadian rhythm. Should you sleep or get up? Your brain is confused and thus you fall into mild, even severe depression. Both serotonin and melatonin levels, which regulate mood and sleep ability, are reduced.
It would be easy to jump over to your physician and get some meds, but there are other ways to defeat this formidable foe. First and foremost is to simply accept this environmental condition and get on with it. Do not let the overcast sky and biting winds keep you from taking a walk, which physicians at the Mayo Clinic suggest as the sing le most important activity you can engage in as a way to minimize the damage wrought by SAD. I’ve discovered that bundling up and trudg ing up the street in cold conditions invigorates my body and mind. If you can f ind a nice woodland path, that’s even better.
According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, taking a long walk, eating lunch at a nearby park or simply spending some amount of time outside within two hours of getting up in the morning is key. Not only does the body respond positively to the natural light, it also tells the body that you will not be shuttered in and defeated by meteorolog ical adversity.
Exercising, too, is important. Purchase an exercise bike or Nordic Track system. If you can’t do that, run up and down basement steps with hand weights. I did yoga and general weight resistance routines when I was unable to utilize exercise equipment.
Keep your house or apartment open to the light by cracking blinds, tr imming tree branches that block sunlight. If you can afford it, add skylights to your home and sit close to windows while at work or home.
Diet is important as well. Eat fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C and D. Citrus drinks are good, too, and I’ve personally found that spicy foods smack my moods in the face and cheer me up.
These are just a few suggestions, and if you, dear readers, have more, feel f ree to drop me a line.
Especially if you have a good recipe for meatballs.
by Mike HuttenI ran the NYC Marathon this
year to fulfi ll a goal I had set more than a year ago: I would run a marathon somewhere during late 2012 or 2013 to celebrate by 65th birthday. NYC is a very competitive marathon and ordinary runners like me can get in by collecting money for a charity, which I did. I was moved by the generosity of friends and acquaintances, who supported me fi nancially and with glowing encouragement.
Then came hurricane Sandy and the cancellation of the 2012 NYC Marathon. I felt a lot of disappointment and frustration over the cancellation, but this was dwarfed by the devastation caused by Sandy.
I came home ready to retrain and fi nd another locale for my run when I was notifi ed that the New York City Road Runners Club had devised a plan for people whose marathon was cancelled. I would be admitted to the 2013 NYC Marathon without further requirements if I paid the entry fee again. This gave me time to train
for the race. I was supported wholeheartedly by my wife and daughters.
I arrived in NYC on Thursday before the race and drove straight to the Expo that the Road Runners club organized for the days before the marathon to pick up my racing bib. The expo was huge, noisy and there was excitement in the air. It was also the fi rst exposure I had to the intense security measures that were enacted to maintain the safety of the race.
I stayed at my daughter’s apartment where I was treated like some sort of king! Through her generosity, I had accommodations that I could not have afforded under any circumstances. We had a great visit for four days and even a post-race party! I was in the city, and it was a chance for me to do a minimum of pre-race running to maintain my readiness for the marathon and then rest, rest, rest!
Marathon day fi nally came and after a nervous night, I got on the subway and headed for the Staten Island Ferry. Intense
security measures continued with ID and package checks along the route. One of the most impressive parts of the NYC Marathon was the sheer logistic problems that seemed to be accomplished smoothly. Think of getting 50,000 people from 100 different countries onto a small island in time for each of them to start a race at their appointed time!
Everyone in NYC was encouraging, positive, and not afraid to express it. High above the runners, as we fi nally arrived at our starting point on the approach to the Verrazano Narrows Bridge, I can remember three fi remen in an elevated snorkel waving and cheering to the runners, their enthusiasm unmistakable.
Finally, the starting cannon boomed and ever so slowly runners began a 26.2-mile trek through the fi ve boroughs of NYC. I was well toward the rear of the starters, being a slow runner, and so the attitude of those around me was anything but fi ercely competitive. Everybody there seemed to be present to run his or her own race and enjoy the day.
Running through the city like being in a magic kingdom where you have suddenly become a hero to perfect strangers who were cheering us on with incredible enthusiasm! So many people were there to support family and friends, but thousands more just came to take part in the event as spectators, cheering and shouting for total strangers and having a great time doing it!
The weather was cool and windy in spots with an occasional burst of sunshine. We made our way through one neighborhood after another, and everywhere, New Yorkers were on the sidewalks cheering us on. Music blared from bands and sound systems, the pounding beats of rock and rap music spurring us on. Children and adults reached out from the sidelines for high fi ves and
Running the NYC Marathon: A Personal Perspective
Former CTE Student Training for WorldSkills International
Jake Wozniak of Springville is currently embarking on a two-year training program to prepare for the WorldSkills International competition. The 19-year-old was chosen to be part of a team that will compete in São Paulo, Brazil in 2015.
WorldSkills International promotes vocational education by providing a means of exchange and comparison of world-class competency standards in the industrial trades and service sectors.
Wozniak graduated from the Building Technology program at C-A BOCES Ellicottville Career & Technical Education Center, where he studied
under instructor Terry Fuller. In 2012, he won both the National SkillsUSA Competition in cabinetmaking and the SkillsUSA National Championship.
At nationals in Las Vegas, Nev., competitors received a set of plans, a stack of materials and had three, seven-hour workdays to build an intricate cabinet. At the end of the challenge, Wozniak was named the winner and received thousands of dollars in tools and other prizes.
Wozniak’s cabinetmaking journey was recently featured on ABC-WKBW news.
seemed to send energy directly from their touch to invigorate runners along the way.
The fi rst 10 miles of the run were an effort like most of my training runs. Beginning sometime after mile 10, the miles seemed to change somehow, as if they passed more quickly one after the next. Mile marker after mile maker arrived and with the new mile, a new chance to pick up some hydration from the thousands of volunteers passing out cups of liquid as we passed.
At mile 17 and at mile 23 or so I saw my own daughter, her boyfriend, and a few of our New York friends at the sideline cheering like crazy! This was the ultimate degree in emotional support that all but overwhelmed me! It was a moment that I treasure now and always will. The cheers and the hugs helped me fi nd a last bit of energy.
Past mile 24 and 25, which seemed the longest miles in the entire experience, past Columbus Circle and then fi nally after mile 26, the fi nish line was in sight. It took me 5 hours and 5 minutes to fi nish this marathon, and beyond all reason or sense, there were still people cheering at the sidelines!
The last step, over the threshold of the timing devices, and then I was engulfed by the thrill of reaching my goal. The marathon was over, I was still on my feet, exhausted, aching here and there, but just saturated with the happiness that this run had given me.
Since the cancellation of the marathon in 2012, I had trained, worried, wondered at every step if this was a reasonable or worthwhile task. My family and friends carried me on, encouraging me through all those miles of preparation, and it is to them that I owe my thanks. It was the thrill of a lifetime to run in the New York City Marathon!
Health & Fitness: Reach Your Performance, Health and Body
Composition Goals
By Kim Dukeneta & afaa Certified Trainer
There are fi ve limiting factors for clients to reach their goals: Genetic makeup, physical exercise or activity patterns, physiology (are their systems in balance), mindset and nutrition.
Studies have shown poor nutrition is what holds clients back. Good nutrition feeds muscle and helps shed fat. This is the most signifi cant factor in determining a client’s outcome.
So what is good nutrition in simple terms? Good nutrition
properly controls energy balance; provides nutrient density; achieves health, body composition and performance goals; is honest and outcome based; and is sustainable for you and the planet.
You are what you eat! I am sure you have heard this, but more accurately you are what you digest, absorb and transfer to your cells. It’s a complicated process, but the bottom line is good food to fuel your body will yield good results in the perfect world.
In today’s modern world of toxins in our environment and overly processed food, it is very diffi cult to get all of the high quality nutrients from food alone. In the July 2002 landmark article in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association announced that “all adults should take vitamin supplements to help prevent chronic disease.”
The 5 Myths about
Supplements1. I can get everything I
need from my food. You’re right! You can get everything from your food as long as you are willing to eat 33 lbs. of spinach, 1 bottle of sunfl ower oil or 3 lbs. of almonds every single day to get optimum amounts of Vitamin E.
2. It seems like I pee out all of my vitamins anyway, so why should I bother taking them? Our bodies are remarkable. Think about water. No matter how much you drink, your body can only hold so much at a time. So, your body absorbs what it needs and eliminates the rest.
3. All vitamins are the same, so I’ll just by the cheapest bottle. Sadly, all vitamins are not created equal. There are some not-so-good manufacturers out there who cut corners leading to two main problems: false labeling and contamination. I recommend that when you choose your
supplements, choose from a company that manufactures voluntarily to pharmaceutical grade and is a registered Food and Drug Administration (FDA) drug establishment. The FDA doesn’t hold dietary supplements to the same quality standard as the pharmaceuticals, so many products just aren’t what they say they are.
4. One pill a day is all I really need. You can’t eat all the food you need for a day in one sitting. What makes you think you can get all the nutrients you need for a day in one pill?
5. I don’t need to take more than the Recommended Daily Allowance. During WWII, the FDA created the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) to address nutrient defi ciency disorders in soldiers. And while the FDA has noted its intention to update the daily values, it has not done so since 1968.
Great Valley Town Board MeetingBy Mary Fox
The Nov. 11 Great Valley Town Board meeting was open by Town Supervisor Dan Brown and dedicated to Zach Ward and Lloyl Chase, town residents who passed away in the last month.
Property maintenance continues to be an issue. At the next board meeting on Dec. 10, the board will discuss what needs to be done to enact a local law regarding property maintenance. The New York Association of Towns provides guidelines for creating ordinances and laws. Supervisor Brown hopes Town Judges Peter Stokes and Scott John and Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty will be present at this meeting to discuss what they would like to have in a local law for property maintenance.
Chris Shena, chairman of the
Planning Board reported, “The board is looking into updating the Town’s Comprehensive Plan.” Input from the public is welcome before the Dec. 10 meeting.
Shena and other members of the Great Valley Planning Board will attend a planning board training class at Southern Tier West.
“One advantage of joining the organization is the opportunity to have the creation and monthly updating of a website for Great Valley,” he said. Shena will follow up.
Great Valley is already a member of Southern Tier West, but to be on the website, the membership fee will rise to $250.
Deputy Superintendent Ted LaCroix, member of the proposed Ellicottville/Great Valley Trail Committee, showed a map of the proposed
trail. At the request of the board,
the Evans Insurance Agency was invited to review the town’s insurance for price and service comparison. A representative of the agency, Alan Butzer, gave a presentation for a municipal insurance package. He has been invited to make a proposal to the board.
The town’s current coverage is through the Weast Agency.
Phil Moyer of Weast is invited to the Dec. 10 board meeting to discuss our current coverage, which is due for renewal Jan. 1, 2014. The carrier will be determined at a special board meeting on Dec. 30.
Bruce Hudson, newly appointed supervisor for the town of Carrollton was present for “idea gathering to see how other town boards operate.”

Explaining Mayor Rob Ford to the Children
“Mommy! Mommy! Mr. Ford is on TV again and now he says he may have accidentally murdered somebody and buried the body under his desk at city hall and he’s really, really sorry.”
“Oh, no honey. That’s just a comedian with 14 pillows under his shirt.”
“So the mayor is not a murderer?”
“No honey. But it’s early in the week.”
“So the mayor is still just a drunken crackhead who lies and cheats and calls people nasty names?”
“That’s right, honey. And because we live in Etobicoke, we respect him for that.”
“Ford Nation, right?”“Ford Nation forever,
darling. Remember to tell your friends at school — it’s all a big conspiracy, the cops are out to get him and the chief of police should be investigating Justin Trudeau or Margaret Atwood or Santa Claus. Yeah, Santa. Were you happy with your gifts last year?”
“No, cause everything had Ford Nation printed on it.”
“So?”“My tattoo is still itchy.”“Don’t be cheeky.”“So how did Mr. Ford get to
be mayor, Mommy?”“Well, we voted for him to
go to city hall and clean up all the corruption and kickbacks and stuff.”
“Did it work?”“Well, actually there wasn’t
any of that going on, so then he stood up for us in the ‘war against the car’ and ...”
“Did it work?”“Well, actually there was no
war and now he’s Mr. Subway, but ...”
“Didn’t he do anything as mayor?”
“Yes, of course he did. He ripped up a bicycle lane so that a bunch of downtown, left-wing pinkos would have to walk to work.”
“How’d that go?”“Well, it cost almost
$300,000 to remove the lane and ...”
“And what?”“And only $59,000 to build
it.”“That’s it. That’s all he’s
done!”“No, of course not. He
started ‘Cut The Waist’ weight loss program so all of us could eat healthier and lose ...”
“And then he quit and got even fatter cause he always eats KFC.”
“And he phones us back personally and he stands up for us and he’s depleting the supply of drugs on the street and most important ... he refuses to raise taxes.”
“Oh.”“That’s what it’s all about.
Never, ever raising taxes in the city of Toronto ever, ever, ever again.”
“But my teacher says if we paid a little more taxes we could open the school pool and plaster wouldn’t be falling on our heads all the time.”
“Your teacher probably listens to CBC Radio and reads the Toronto Star. What has Mommy told you about listening to those left-wing pinkos and kooks?”
“But you said Mr. Ford never used drugs and now he says he did! Isn’t that bad?”
“Well, no. It’s not bad because he doesn’t remember doing drugs.”
“Why not?”“Because he was completely
falling down drunk at the time.”
“But isn’t that bad too?”
“Well it’s not as bad as hardcore drug use. Understand?”
“I think so. Like the time Uncle Jerry got caught naked in the back of K-Mart with a mannequin but he said it was okay because he had amnesia?”
“Exactly. These are health issues that require our sympathy.”
“But Mommy, what if Mr. Ford has to go to prison?”
“Well, it won’t be the worst thing in the world. He does have a lot of friends there.”
“But who would Ford Nation replace him with?”
“Oh honey. I didn’t want to spoil the surprise of your Christmas gift but ... what do you think about this sweatshirt? It’s pink, your favourite colour.”
“Cherry Nation?!?”“That’s right, Don Cherry
is a nice man, he’d be a good mayor and he won’t raise taxes.”
“But Mommy, that guy’s crazy. All he does is stick up for violence and he says nasty things about people and the way he dresses hurts my eyes.”
“But he won’t raise taxes.”“Oh.”“And another thing.”“What?”“We need to have that tattoo
scraped off your arm and ...”“No. I’m not getting an ‘I
Love Don Cherry Tattoo.’ No way, Mom.”

Thanksgiving and Black Friday Made Easy
By Victoria DetmeringIn just two short weeks,
it will be time to gather with family and friends to enjoy a bountiful meal and be thankful for one another during this special time. But, the Thanksgiving holidays can also be stressful for everyone. With all the running around, traveling and cooking, getting to all the items on your to-do list may be diffi cult.
What if you could make things a whole lot easier? Well, with these smartphone apps you will be able to and truly have something to be thankful for.
Happen to be traveling during the holidays and know it’s not the most enjoyable experience? Just download Flightview Free Real-Time Flight Tracker? It’s free and available for Android and iOS. This handy little app provides status updates of your fl ights, gate assignments, delays and cancellations. There’s even a fl ight map to check the fl ight’s progress. This is a great application even if you’re not a big traveler and takes the aggravation out of the fl ying process — especially during the holidays.
Are you the cook in the family
or want to help the designated chef with Thanksgiving dinner? Don’t worry. There is an app that can help ease the cooking process for you. It’s called Thanksgiving: A Bon Appétit Manual. This app is available through iOS. There are over 100 recipes that give the traditional meals a bit more fl avor. Besides the recipes and tips about how to cook certain meals, there’s also a planner. The programmers even created a scheduling tool for all of the tasks you need to accomplish before the big Thanksgiving dinner. You can even set what time you will be eating on Thanksgiving day. The tasks will sound off an alarm for whatever time you set them. It’s a great way to stay organized and still be able to tackle other responsibilities!
The Dirty Kitchen Timer app is a must for those multitasking, busy cooks out there. This app is only $1.99 and worth every penny! It’s available through iOS, Android and Blackberry. The Dirty Kitchen Timer creates a virtual kitchen for you and makes setting timers easy. You can set up to fi ve different timers at once. This Old House magazine has called this app the “Top 100 Best New Home
Products of 2013.” It’s a great app for all those multitaskers and last-minute cooks out there.
Finally, after you have spent quality time with friends and family and are out of your turkey comas, it’s time to go shopping! With the Black Friday 2013 app for iOS and Android, you won’t spend your entire day in a store fi ghting off crowds of people. Instead, you can customize the way you shop. You can search, compare, shop, save and share all of the Black Friday deals. What’s great about it is that you can also shop through this app. This is for all the shopaholics out there that cannot pass up a good bargain. You’ll defi nitely want to tell your friends about this one.
With the help of these apps, your Thanksgiving dinner and post-Thanksgiving shopping spree should much less chaotic and more enjoyable. Remember, the cooking, planning and shopping are all great, but what’s most important is the time spent with those you love and care for. That’s what you have to be most thankful for!

Library and OCT Present ‘Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings’
Celebrate the Season with Live Theater
The Ellicottville Memorial Library and the Olean Community Theatre are proud to present a special Christmas edition of “Forever Plaid: Plaid Tidings,” a brand new show that offers the best of “Forever Plaid” tied up in a nifty package with a big Christmas bow on top, including veteran area performers in the lead roles! Filled with Christmas standards that have all been
“Plaid-erized,” our boys are back to do their Christmas special.
At fi rst, Francis (Shane Oschman), Jinx (Mark Lungershausen), Smudge (Nathan H. Bell) and Sparky (Tim Hollamby) aren’t sure why they’ve returned to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that
they’re needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world. Sprinkled among the Christmas offerings are audience favorites like their riotous three-minute-and-eleven-second version of “The Ed Sullivan Show” — this time featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks and the Vienna Boys Choir, and a Plaid Caribbean Christmas that puts the “Day-O” in excelsis!

who owns Stride Tool, with offi ces in Ellicottville and manufacturing facilities in Glenwillow, Ohio.
Bares wasn’t just interested in his own business. He also was committed to helping other small businesses that were trying to compete with the Fortune 500 set. With several other business movers and shakers in Cleveland, Bares helped found the Council of Smaller Enterprises (COSE), a small business support
organization that, according to its Web site, “provides cost-effective group purchasing programs, advocacy on legislative and regulatory issues and networking and education resources to help Northeast Ohio’s small businesses grow.”
“COSE was one of Jack’s proudest achievements,” said Alice Bares, who married Jack in 1956. One of its fi rst goals was to pool the resources and strengths of its member

businesses to provide health insurance to their employees. “This became a national model” for the power of group purchasing, Alice said.
COSE also became a leader in providing continuing education for its members. Bares took the lead in developing a Strategic Planning course for members, which now is a nine-month, intensive mentoring program for business owners to help them analyze their business, evaluate the competition and prepare for future growth. More than 1,000 business leaders have taken the course to date.
“I think his involvement in COSE was the primary reason for this honor,” said Alice, who attended the event with the couple’s four children, two of their grandchildren, other family members, friends and several Stride Tool employees. “Jack received many awards over the years, but it is very nice that his contributions were recognized even after his death.”
because it is centrally located and they hope to reach a whole new group of customers.”
Imagine the grand top fl oor of the new Lodge at Holiday Valley, with windows overlooking the slopes, all lined with tables of beautifully displayed, original artwork. The views will be stunning no matter where you look!
Anne Conroy-Baiter, executive director of the CCAC, explained, “We made the decision to move the Holiday Sale to Holiday Valley Resort, because Ellicottville is more and more the heart of the holiday season in the region, and we thought this new venue would increase the number of visitors able to take advantage of this many high-quality artists under one roof. And what a spectacular roof! When Holiday Valley agreed on our proposed date in the new lodge, we realized we had the potential to really grow the event.”
Whether you come with a list or let inspiration drive your shopping, you won’t leave empty handed. As you browse and visit with artists, you’ll fi nd the perfect hand-beaded
scarf for your mother-in-law, whimsical stuffed animals for your grandchildren, sparkly jewelry for all occasions, inspirational paintings for your home or offi ce, pottery that’s more than just functional and so much more.
“Holiday shoppers will be able to fi nd items on any budget,” said Conroy-Baiter. “We’re thrilled that Mikel Wintermantel will be joining the sale for the fi rst time with pieces specially crafted for our regional market. Routes to Art favorites like Sean Huntington, Barbara Fox, Elliott Hutten, Cherie Antle and Jennifer Miller will be joining newcomers such as Denise Drummond and John Balacki. It promises to be a vibrant show of the best talent the region has to offer.”
With a “Who’s Who” list of artists like Mikel Wintermantel, Eileen Weishan, Mike Weishan, Chris Stark, Dee Smith, Jil St. Ledger-Roty, Todd Plough, Ellen Paquette, Rose Nuszkowski, Anne Mormile, Penny Minner, Jennifer Miller, Keith McKale, Kristina McLeod, Tom Martin, Dawn Lombardi, Peter Jones,
Elizabeth Jankowski, Barbara Fox, Karen Fitzpatrick, Patricia Eckstrom, Elliott Hutten, Sean Huntington, Denise Drummond, Robin Zefers Clark, John Balacki, Cherie Antle, and Jennie Acklin, looking for unique holiday gifts will be effortless this season.
“I’ve wanted to do RTA for a few years now, but timing and inventory has always been an issue,” said Wintermantel. “My community has always been supportive of me. I have had many people ask me to show locally.”
Although Wintermantel’s pieces are usually on the upper end of the price spectrum, he said he will be offering some limited edition prints, and smaller and more affordable oil paintings on new Arches oil paper. He said they “look exactly like my paintings on canvas and panel, but they are easier for me do because there is much less preparation. Hence I can price these at a more reasonable rate.”
Need a distraction for the kids while you check off your gift list? The Cattaraugus County Arts Council will be offering face painting for kids all day. From 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., the vocal stylings of Chordiac Arrest will fi ll the air with holiday music.

Donations Sought for Another Season of Project Christmas
(Reprinted from ECS Oct.-Nov. 2013 Newsletter)
Project Christmas started back in the early 1960s and, through the combined efforts of Ellicottville Central School employees and community members, it continues to provide an “extra touch” at Christmas time for many of our local families.
This “partnership” between the school and community will provide food, gifts, necessities and support to more than 50 families and 65 senior citizens who live in our community. The program spends between $5,000 to $6,000 annually due to the generous support
residents and seasonal visitors provide by taking “gift tags” from one of the gift trees throughout the community located at Ellicottville Pharmacy, M & T Bank, Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and Five Star Bank.
Students in grades K-12 also get involved by bringing in nonperishable food items, with seniors also involved with the delivery.
With the diffi cult economic troubles we are facing and many families struggling to get by, the need for help throughout our community is even greater. Project Christmas is once again
accepting donations; if you are able to contribute please consider making a donation.
Your support will directly help those in need in our own community. Monetary donations can be made out to “Project Christmas” and mailed to: Ellicottville Central School, ATTN: Kim Watt, School Nurse, 5873 Route 219, Ellicottville, NY 14731.
If you have any questions regarding the program, please call Nurse Watt at (716) 699-2318. Your generous support in the past has helped to keep this program alive. Thank you!

Ellicottville Veterans Day Service • Photos by Jennie Acklin
by Jonathan BarlowAs a barber, I come across
many people in the shop. Of those great customers, WWII vets are among them and have been for all of my professional decade. These are a truly special group of individuals.
During their visits for regular grooming, it becomes an honor for me to be able to simply listen. An interesting thing happens. Their stories are what counts. And more than that, it’s their collective positive attitude and social graces that most impress me from the time they come through the door. Politeness is a common thread with these great, honest and important guys.
They always ask, “Do you have any time for me?” Or, “Looks like I arrived at the right time. How are you today?” — ever the fi rst to be the ones asking the simple, caring question and never meaning to “step on anyone’s toes.” All of my regular defenses shut down in that instant and a true appreciation for each guy takes hold. I like to think it’s a good relationship that forms in its simplicity.
Now, as far as my knowing
that any one of these gentlemen has served in the Great War doesn’t come without coaxing. These soldiers, family and business men are truly a humble bunch. They are proud of what the country is made of. Not often do they divulge much in the fi rst meeting. No, not until there has been a period of acquaintance. Let’s say two or three haircut visits. And of course, some are more open than others.
I never pry either — not until I know they will want to tell me something from the past. After all, they own (and earned) their experiences and can release this history as they wish. If anyone has earned respect these days in this country, it’s a veteran! Also, it is my hope that it’s a relief for them to open up on even the smallest story in memory.
Our exchanges are usually normal in form. Once in a while, I think there can be a sort of trigger that comes up to start something else for the veteran. I can hardly say that he intends on regaling of his memories that day. Surely, they each had a separate and meaningful experience from the terrifi c
responsibilities bestowed upon the whole generation. When the tale comes out, it is usually vivid. One can tell there is a fondness of that time of deep change. I really do enjoy any kind of open dialogue with the Greatest Generation and that selfl ess era.
Most of the veterans are in their 80s or better. Some of them are your relatives. Some a kind soul you’ll see somewhere in daily life. Others have passed on. For these men and women, I kindly encourage everyone to show any sign of appreciation for their accomplishments. Through talking, you just may learn something too. If you’re lucky, you’ll get the slightest anecdote of the enormous jobs they all held to help us live the life we deserve. Remembrance is the key. Thank you Veterans of Foreign Wars!
JonnyBarberShop wishes to donate a portion of proceeds to the Wounded Warrior Project on a regular basis. If you would like to help, there will be a collection container at the shop for any amount to help that cause every month. The shop is located at 13 Bristol Lane in the village of Ellicottville.

Women Create Deadline Extended
Jamestown, NY – Women Create is extending its deadline for women to submit work for consideration for its second biennial juried exhibit of women’s art.
Artist and instructor Debra Eck and photographer Jennifer Schlick are creative directors for the exhibit that will be at the 3rd On 3rd Gallery at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts in downtown Jamestown, N.Y.
“With our juror being a faculty member at SUNY Fredonia,” said Schlick,
“we realized that she won’t be able to begin the jurying process until after the end of the academic semester, so we decided to give our artists additional time to prepare their submissions.”
Deadline for applications has been extended from Dec. 1 to Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013. Artists will be notifi ed of the juror’s decisions by the end of the fi rst full week of January, 2014. Accepted artists will be required to deliver their pieces in person or to make arrangements directly with the gallery for shipping.
Juror for the show will be Dr. Leesa Rittelmann, associate professor of Art History at SUNY Fredonia. Dr. Rittelmann’s teaching and research focus on Modern and Contemporary art in Europe and the United States, with an emphasis on the intersection between gender, race and nationality in artistic production and reception. She holds a B.S. degree in Museum Education from Penn State University as well as M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from The University of Pittsburgh.
A former Curatorial and Research Assistant at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Museum of Art, Rittelmann recently curated the 2013 exhibition “Gone Viral: Medical Science and Contemporary Textile Art” for SUNY Fredonia’s
Marion Art Gallery. Her current research investigates the relationship between labor, gender, craft and political activism in the public sphere.
Applications are being accepted from women of all ages in any media, and artists from Western New York, Northwestern Pennsylvania and Northeastern Ohio are encouraged to apply. The opening reception for the exhibit will be on Saturday, March 1, 2014, and it will close on SWAN Day, March 29. A series of salons and other related activities will take place in the gallery during that time.
SWAN Day, which stands for Support Women Artists Now, is an annual event held on the last Saturday in March, Women’s History Month, and in the weeks surrounding that date. First celebrated in 2008, it is an international holiday designed to showcase the power and diversity of women’s creativity.
Women Create grew out of Eck’s collaboration with Shane Hawkins at Jamestown’s Infi nity Visual and Performing Arts to host a SWAN Day event in 2011.
More information and complete guidelines for applying for the exhibit are on the Women Create website, http://www.womencreate.org.

Ellicottville Sports Round-Up
ECS Fall Season Closed, Winter Underway
By Todd PalmatierECS Eagles fall sports have
come to an end! Last weekend the Boys’ and Girls’ Varsity Soccer teams were beaten back by Jasper Troupsburg of Section 5. The girls suffered a 1-0 defeat on a questionable goal, while the boys lost 4-0.
ECS winter sports are starting to amp up! Boys’ Varsity Basketball will be coached by second-year coach, Dave McCann. McCann is returning with core players from his 2012 team. The Boys’ JV team will be led by Matt Finn and Boys’ Modifi ed
by Chris Keenan. The Girls’ Varsity Basketball team will be led by fi rst-year coach, Chad Bartoszek, while the Girls’ JV team will be coached by Katie Taylor. Additionally, the Girls’ Modifi ed team will be coached by Tammy Eddy.
The school will also be participating in Alpine Skiing and Bowling for the winter sports season. Remember, the Fall Sports Banquet will be held on Nov. 25 at ECS and is a catered affair sponsored by the Ellicottville Sports Boosters.
In youth sports, the Ellicottville YMCA Basketball
teams played last Friday with the 8-9 year old and 12-13 year old teams upping their records to 2-0 respectively. The 10-11 year olds lost a close battle to the Olean Pacers and fell to 0-2.
Ellicottville Youth Basketball will begin in December 2013. Flyers will soon be going home with students. Look for signup dates, which are to be posted here in the Ellicottville Times. Last but not least, Ellicottville Wrestling is practicing hard and preparing for upcoming tournaments.
Odyssey of the Mind TryoutsBy Jalee Evans, ECS Elementary Student Correspondent
This past Tuesday, Ellicottville Central School held the annual Odyssey of the Mind tryouts. Students in grades 4 and 5 are nominated by their teachers to see who will go to the tryouts. Students that are in grades 6-12 get the choice to sign up for try outs. This is a great opportunity for students of all ages to show off their creativity and knowledge.
During tryouts, the
students listen to the coaches’ “problems” and pick which one they will likely succeed at and enjoy trying to solve.
Then, the students are in teams of usually seven other kids and try to make a skit out of the problem. For example, if your problem is to send messages from one end of something to the other, you can create a tube to send the messages. The skit has to be less than eight minutes long.
First, the kids perform in
the Regional Competition and if they get a high enough score, they go on to State Competition, and fi nally World Competition. Last year there were fi ve teams, and Mrs. Keller’s high school team made it to the World Competition!
This year’s elementary coaches are Mrs. Laurie Caldwell and Mrs. Caitlin Keller. The teams will be chosen by Thanksgiving so that the students will get to work. Wish them luck!
Town of Ellicottville Planning Board Cancels November Meeting
The meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Planning Board, which had been scheduled for Monday,
Nov. 18, 2013, has been
cancelled because there is no new or pending business before the board.
The next Ellicottville Planning Board meeting is
scheduled for Monday, Dec. 16, 2013, at 6 p.m. in the Ellicottville Town Hall.
Commercial 2), the board expects to propose subdividing the site and designating the 10-unit building as “Village Commercial 3,” which allows for reuse of an industrial structure. The townhomes/duplexes likely would be
rezoned as medium density. Board Chair Nancy Rogan
suggested that the board allow for some fl exibility in zoning the 10-unit structure in case, at some time in the future, owners want to include retail there. While the new owners
have no plans to include retail, the board agreed that it would make sense to build that into the rezoning language. That language will be drafted and reviewed at the next planning board meeting scheduled for Dec. 10 at 5:30 p.m.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading
from the Ellicottville Memorial Library “Sycamore Row” by John Grisham
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a confl ict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County’s most notorious citizens.
In “Sycamore Row”, John Grisham returns to the setting and the compelling characters that fi rst established him as America’s favorite storyteller. Here, in his most assured and thrilling novel yet, is a powerful testament to the fact that Grisham remains the master of the legal thriller, nearly twenty-fi ve years after the publication of “A Time To Kill”.
This book can be borrowed from the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book and eBook formats. It is also available as an audio book using our interlibrary loan program.

Nutrition: Should You Eat or Drink Your Fruits and Veggies?
By Michael R. Williams, RDFruits and vegetables are
the foundation of a healthy diet. It is recommended that half our meals should come from these groups. For adults, these would mean a combined total of 4–6 cups per day. And this is for good reason. High fruit and vegetable intakes are continually associated with increased health and low rates of chronic disease.
Unfortunately, it can be tough to get this much. In fact, the average New Yorker only eats 1.6 cups of the 4–6 recommended. With high recommendations and low intakes, fruit juices are sometimes suggested as a quick, easy and tasty way to get some health benefi ts. But is drinking fruits and vegetables the same as eating them?
Antioxidants are one of the reasons fruits and vegetables are important. Just like a car rusts over time, so do our bodies through a process called oxidation. Plant foods like fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants, which slow down this oxidation, thus decreasing bodily stress and infl ammation.
If fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of antioxidants, then would juice, a concentrated and condensed form of fruit, contain even more?
Earlier this year Dr. Kristi
antioxidant loss, some methods of processing juice can lead to much bigger losses.
The processing of juice also removes fi ber. This is particularly important when it comes to weight management. Fiber helps keep food in the stomach, which allows for the release of hunger-reducing hormones. But juices and most liquids pass by the stomach too quickly for the release of these hormones. So instead we get a lot of sugar with very little fullness. For example, it takes about four oranges to make a cup of juice. This cup of juice has the same amount of sugar and calories as four oranges but is much easier to drink with a meal. Unfortunately, this can make it very easy to consume too many calories and ultimately gain weight.
Drinking juice may be a convenient way to obtain some of the healthful benefi ts of fruits and vegetables. It is certainly better to have juice than no fruits and vegetables at all. Nonetheless, there are many more benefi ts to whole fruits and vegetables, such as decreasing chronic disease risk. While getting a total 4–6 cups of fruits and vegetables each day may be tough, centering meals on these food groups with the occasional glass of juice can help prolong a healthy and vital life.
in the Cornell extension service system, where funding had been completely eliminated from the county budget. I spent a lot of time writing grants and seeking other sources of funding in order to keep things going,” she said.
While Allegany County still provides funding for the extension service, funding for agricultural programs in Cattaraugus County was recently eliminated for all but its 4-H program support.
Hunsberger said, “I’ll be working on building visibility for the extension service here to demonstrate the value of our programs and services and to generate support.”
As part of this effort, she plans to work on building local, private, county and regional partnerships to advance the extension service’s primary programmatic goals, which include youth agricultural education through 4-H and other avenues, agricultural development, and advancing programs related to building local food hubs.
In addition, about a quarter of her time will be spent working in her horticultural fi elds of organic gardening and vegetable production as it relates to those goals.
“Traditional farming areas
have so many challenges. It’s a diffi cult business and it’s hard to make a living. Generally speaking, farmers don’t get paid for the real value of their food unless they can sell locally. Local and regional food hubs can make a big difference,” she said, by reducing the number of miles food has to travel before it can be sold. “We’ll be spending a lot of time educating people about the importance of this concept.”
Before joining the Nassau County extension service, Hunsberger worked for two years as a research specialist in plant pathology at Cornell’s Long Island Horticultural Research & Extension Center. Her academic interests extend to organic weed management and sustainable vegetable production as it relates to solving global food security issues.
From 2001-2010, Hunsberger worked for the University of Maryland’s Worcester County Offi ce, fi rst as extension educator for agriculture and natural resources, and then as that offi ce’s director. She also has served as a research specialist for Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. and as a teaching and research assistant at the
University of Massachusetts, where she received her master’s degree in plant and soil sciences.
Hunsberger grew up in the Rochester area. Her mother, a professional cellist, and father, a conductor, “didn’t pass on their musical genes to me,” she laughed. “I play the radio.”
She’s happy to be back in the western part of the state and plans to take advantage of everything the Southern Tier has to offer, especially cross-country skiing. She and her husband, who was a law professor at Pace University and is starting a law practice near their new home in Wellsville, plan to participate in the Pain in the Alleganies triathlon this year. They also hope to take in all the cultural, entertainment and outdoor activities that abound in the region.
“It’s a beautiful area, and there is a lot of need for the extension service’s programs,” said Hunsberger. “I look forward to meeting people, hearing their concerns and helping them fi nd solutions to their problems.”
Hunsberger will be working in both the Ellicottville and Allegany Extension Service offi ces. To get in touch, call (716) 699-2377.

Apple Bread Pudding with Whiskey SauceIngredients for the pudding:9 large croissants (the usual size, just not mini)1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and cut in large, pea-sized chunks and tossed with 2
tablespoons sugar5 cups milk (Again, whole is best. The most fl avor and the fat in the milk adds consistency
to the pudding.)1/2 cup raisins (FYI, I abhor cooked raisins! If you like them, go ahead and add them.)3 large eggs1 tablespoon pure vanilla (again, get a good quality vanilla)1 cup sugar1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (if you don’t like the fl avor of nutmeg you could use a
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. I’ve not done it, but I don’t think it would be too bad.)Whipped cream, sweetened to taste (Making your own is simple. I’ll add a quick recipe
at the end.*)Whiskey Sauce6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted1 cup powdered sugar1 egg1 to 2 tablespoons sour mash whiskey (Add more or less according to fl avor preference.)Directions:1. The night before, cut or tear the croissants into bite-sized chunks. Combine croissant
and apple chunks with milk and raisins (if using). Toss to combine, making sure all the bread is wet with milk. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 12 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine eggs, vanilla, sugar and nutmeg in a small bowl then whisk to combine. Pour custard into croissant mixture and mix well. Pour entire mixture into a buttered 8” x 11” glass baking dish and bake for one hour or until puffy and browned. If you have just a ceramic baking dish, the cooking time may take a bit longer. (Please do not make this in a metal dish. The cooking time will be too fast and you won’t get a good custard.)
3. While pudding is baking, you can go ahead and make the Whiskey Sauce. Place butter in a small saucepan and melt slowly over low-medium heat. Whisk the egg in a small bowl, then slowly add the melted butter. (If you add the hot melted butter to your egg too fast, it will cook the egg.) Stir in the powdered sugar and whiskey, and mix well and reserve. This sauce can be made a day ahead if you wish. The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
4. As soon as pudding is removed from the oven, pour the Whiskey Sauce over the top. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving with whipped cream.
*Pour into a cold metal bowl a half pint of very cold heavy whipping cream. With a whisk on your electric mixer or hand blender, whisk until frothy. Add about 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla and whisk again until soft peaks form. Viola, whipped cream!
Apple Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce, is positively sinful and will bring the house down. If you are the designated dessert maker for Thanksgiving, I strongly suggest you bring this dessert to the table. Keep in mind this recipe takes TWO DAYS. You must soak the croissants overnight.
The secret is to use fl akey, buttery artisan made croissants. I suggest you use plain croissants from either Main Street Sweets in Allegany or Elm Street Bakery in East Aurora.
Crowe of the University of Alabama investigated this question. She fi rst compared the antioxidant content of fresh fruit and fruit juices. Her research found that fresh fruits contained higher numbers of antioxidants when compared to both name brand and store brand juices. Both fresh apples and grapefruit were found to have 50 percent higher levels of antioxidants than a serving of their juice.
Not all juices are created equal. In the same study, Dr. Crowe found that when it comes to juice, commercial-brands may be the best. Along with fresh fruit, she compared store brand and commercial brand juices. In almost all juices, the commercial brands had higher levels of antioxidants than the store brands. She states that this may be due to different methods of processing. While juicing fruits will lead to some
replacement of the county jail’s boiler and $150,000 for demolition of the former board of elections building in Little Valley.
Then, at the Nov. 13 meeting, the legislature approved $300,000 to support Ontario Knife Company’s expansion of its plant in Franklinville. It also approved payoff of $1,634,500 in bond anticipation notes. Another $25,000 was appropriated for radio programming of low band frequency used by the county’s fi re departments.
Three other projects are on the table for near-future consideration: $25,000 for the county’s historical museum

in Machias, approximately $200,000 for the Zoar Valley Gateway Project, and $162,000 for restoration of Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater.
All of the above proposals fall into the Tier 1 and 2 categories . Throughout the rest of the year, various legislative committees plan to continue to evaluate and put forward additional proposals. If there is a balance at the end of 2013, it will be put into a separate 2014 budget line.
“We’re not in a big hurry to spend this money,” said legislator James Boser (D-Allegany). “We want to take our time and carefully consider each project.”
This is particularly true for Tier 3 projects, according to Crystal Abers, director of the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism, who is working with the legislature to identify appropriate projects. “These will take longer to work out and consider.” They also must also be approved by the state.
According to Deputy County Administrator Jeffrey VanDeCar, priority will be given to projects that provide new employment opportunities.
To date, there is no indication from the legislature what Tier 3 projects might be moving toward resolution. Some projects that originally were listed under Tier 3 were moved to Tier 1 and 2.
Tier 3 funds left at the end of 2013 also can be moved into a separate budget line in 2014 and can continue to be carried over from year to year.

Adrenaline Rush of Snocross Returns to Salamanca Feb. 7 - 8
SALAMANCA, NY – The thrills, twists, turns, and high speeds in the snow returns to Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel on Feb. 7–8, 2014, with AMSOIL Championship Snocross powered by Ram Truck. The region’s newest winter tradition promises to provide fun for the whole family during a two-day, nationally-televised event that, last year, saw tens of thousands of fans descend upon the foot of the Allegheny Mountains for nonstop, heart-pumping, action-packed races with the world’s best snowmobile athletes.
Tickets for the event make a great holiday gift and are on sale now online at www.isocracing.com and at the Logo Shop inside Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel. Advance ticket prices are $25 for Friday, $25 for Saturday or a value-priced $30 all-weekend pass. A special four-pack of weekend passes is available online for a discounted price of $100. Admission is free for children ages six and younger.
Crews with International Series of Champions (ISOC)
Racing will once again turn one million gallons of water into snow over a football-fi eld-sized plot of land outside Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel. This year, the race site will be presented in a new location, directly west of the casino, on the right-hand side of the main road leading to the hotel parking ramp. The racecourse will include wicked twists and giant ramps that will send vehicles fl ying dozens of feet into the air.
More than 200 of the top snowmobile racers from North America and nearly a dozen countries worldwide will face off in a full-throttle, action-packed series of races that combine big-air jumps and competitive racing.
Last year’s races drew an unprecedented 10,000 fans during the Saturday events and nearly 15,000 for the entire weekend. A panel of Snocross industry experts decreed the Seneca Allegany experience as the “Event of the Year.”
“The event was special in so many ways,” said Carl Schubitzke, president and race director, ISOC Racing.
“Everyone at Seneca Allegany was so helpful and professional. The city embraced the event. And the fans were just absolutely wonderful.”
Bleachers set up around the track accommodate thousands of fans and bright lights will illuminate the track during the evening hours on Friday and Saturday, when the main events take place and are taped for television. A new Family Zone will be outdoors this year, which will include a small-scale “120” snowmobile to test drive. Various vendors, including food and beverage, will also be on site.
Indoors nearby at the Seneca Allegany Events Center, fans will have the chance to interact with racers and get autographs. Snowmobile gear will be on sale, and the popular Traxxas Try Me Track will return with a course fi lled with remote-controlled miniature trucks.
Approximately 50 practice, qualifying, and fi nal races will take place each day, including 22 races during both the Friday and Saturday night main events. As many as 15 vehicles will be on the track during a race, and individual races are broken down by age, gender and snowmobile type.
In response to the industry’s growth and popularity, Seneca Gaming Corporation and the Seneca Nation of Indians recently provided a $66,850 sponsorship to Snow Bounders, Inc., a local snowmobile association, for the construction and maintenance of a new 1.5-mile snowmobile trail that connects Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel to 90 miles of existing trails in nearby Allegany State Park.
“There’s so much to do throughout the whole experience,” Schubitzke said. “It’s highly entertaining, and there’s never a dull moment.”

The National Register of Historic Places is a federal program. In New York, it is administered by the State’s Offi ce of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP). Virginia Bartos, representing the organization, presented a certifi cate designating the cemetery’s placement on the National Register of Historic Places. “The town, which is the caretaker for the cemetery, is to be commended for its support of the project,” she said. She presented Historian Mary Elizabeth Dunbar with a copy of the application.
Getting on the State and National Register of Historic Places is a lengthy process,” said Mary Elizabeth Dunbar, Town Historian. “A detailed form must be submitted to the state for approval. Once approved, the paperwork goes on to the national level.”
Extensive research into the historic signifi cance and history of the cemetery and those buried there was undertaken by a group led by Gail Carruci and Mary Elizabeth Dunbar. Working from old, incomplete lists of names, they attempted to put names to unmarked graves.
“It was basically starting from scratch as records of the cemetery were destroyed in a 1969 fi re in the Town Hall where they were being housed.” said Carruci. Preservation of the cemetery included cleaning the headstones.
Cemeteries offer a valuable resource for those searching for their family roots. Some descendents of those buried in the Jefferson St. Cemetery have been located and have provided information about their ancestors. It is hoped that more descendents can be
found.Historic cemeteries
such as the Jefferson St. Cemetery are important cultural, architectural and archaeological resources that provide us with information about our community’s history. Headstones provide some of the earliest local written history with names, dates and epitaphs.
David Woolley, descendent of Nathanial Fish, was present at the ceremony to represent “the residents of the cemetery.” The Fish family monument is inscribed with a line from a 19th century hymn: “We miss thee at home.”
Nathanial Fish came to Ellicottville in 1819. He opened the Fish Tavern two miles west of the village in 1824. Fish Hill was named after him, and his daughter Mary K. Gay was the fi rst birth in Mansfi eld.
Tombstones offer glimpses into local illness and epidemics and tell of a community’s sacrifi ces in our nations wars, as well as give samples of local
folk art. George Fillgrove, constituent Relations Manager representing NYS senator Catharine M. Young said, “being a veteran, this cemetery is important to me because it contains many veterans of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.”
John Burrell, supervisor of the town of Ellicottville, received a certifi cate from Bartos and said, “people come to Ellicottville for many reasons. The Jefferson Street Cemetery, along with the town Historic District, promotes Ellicottville’s signifi cant history. “Those of us who have been a part of Ellicottville for all our lives need to gather together to fi nd more ways to make our village and town’s history visible,” Burrell said.
As Benjamin Franklin said, “Show me your burial grounds and I’ll show you a measure of the civility of a community.”
Ellicottville is fortunate to have historic sites such as the Jefferson Street Cemetery preserving our rich history.
George Fillgrove, constituent Relations Mgr representing NYS senator Catharine M. Young, spoke to a large crowd at the dedication ceremony.
