Winter Blues Weekend is Here!
Winter Blues Weekend in Ellicottville provides a muchneeded solution to cabin fever. With a full lineup of amazing bands performing all over Ellicottville all weekend long, it’s time to switch out those winter boots for your dancin’ shoes and head to one of the Village hot spots! “We have a few more bands this year than we did last year,” said Chris Chapman, Media and Communications Manager for the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, who sponsors the weekend. “This is really about people coming out and having fun despite the cold weather of the season.” Get the weekend started on Friday, Jan. 20. Check out Miller and the Other Sinners, performing “roots music to move our soul and your feet” at Balloons at 7 p.m. At 9 p.m., the Gin Mill will feature local favorites 2 Guys Drinkin’ Blues. Other Friday night performers include the State Street Ramblers at Cadillac Jacks and Leon and the Forklifts at Villaggio, both at 9 p.m. The fun continues on Saturday, starting with the Bone Shakers at 3 p.m. at Holiday Valley’s Main Lodge. This performance is part of Harley-Day Valley, where the resort transforms itself into all things Harley-Davidson. Enjoy food and drink specials, purchase the coolest gear, check out the Harleys and go through the gears on the Jumpstart. At 4 p.m., the Untouchables

‘Your Turn’ Women’s Ski Keis Clarifies Tax Increase Clinic Returns Jan. 26-27 Mansfield Reorganizes for 2017
By Alicia Dziak
Calling all intermediate and advanced female skiers! Now is the time to focus on you. On Jan. 26 and 27, Lisa Densmore Ballard returns to Holiday Valley to lead the “Your Turn” women’s ski clinic. Densmore Ballard is
a widely acclaimed coach, instructor and ski racer, and will be assisted by several of Holiday Valley’s female instructors during this two-day clinic. “All ‘Your Turn’ women’s events are geared to gals who are at least an intermediate or high level skier,” said Densmore Ballard. “If you can at least ski the groomed trails rated with blue squares on Holiday Valley, you’ll love the clinic.” She added that, “Even women who are experts can always get better. I think upper level skiers who would not consider a ski school class come to a ‘Your Turn’ event because they can get the fine tuning not available elsewhere.” Densmore Ballard explained that attendees are split into smaller groups. “ I split everyone into groups not only based on ability level, but also what you would like to ski better, e.g. powder, moguls, steeps, firm snow... We’ll even run a few gates the second morning,” she noted. The clinic will include a continental breakfast each day, talks about ski equipment and proper

Mansfield Town Supervisor Bob Keis informed the Town of Mansfield board on Monday, Jan. 16 that he has had several questions from town residents about their recent tax bills. As reported in the fall, the Mansfield board approved a 2017 budget that increased the
tax rate per $1,000 of assessed property value from $4.73 to $5.10, or 7.8 percent. The county tax bills, however, cited a 10 percent increase. Keis explained that the county’s 10 percent figure relates to the increase in actual dollars to be collected in 2017, not the rate per

The opening weekend of races proved to be a thrilling one for the Holiday Valley athletes. New York State Ski Racing Association (NYSSRA) has instituted a new format for U14 Alpine Racing. The state is now split into two divisions—East and West. Athletes traveled to Truxton, NY for the first race of this new format, a Giant Slalom at Labrador Mountain. Holiday Valley’s Caroline DeRose walked away with the bronze after a thrilling second run comeback, winning that run by a whopping 1.55 seconds, and only being beat by one male competitor. Simona Muscarella of HoliMont finished in 8th with teammate Brooklyn Napolitano in 11th. Thrills at the Cup page 7

more efficient technology, there just doesn’t seem to be a place for something as leisurely and time-consuming as knitting. However, the stress of fast-paced modern living is perhaps the best reason to take the time to learn this purposely low-tech hobby. A 2016 New York Times article entitled “The Health Benefits of Knitting” cites many reasons knitting is good for your physical and mental wellbeing. The repetitive motion of knitting is meditative and has been shown to reduce chronic stress and its symptoms, such as high blood pressure and the stress hormone cortisol. Those who suffer from arthritis often find that knitting keeps stiff, sore joints flexible. Many benefit from the inner satisfaction that knitting brings, as well as the social interaction of knitting in classes and social groups. Learning how to knit forms new pathways in the brain, which can benefit those who suffer from depression, but also prevents cognitive decline, including dementia. So what do you need to get started? Knitting has come a long way from your grandmother’s long aluminum knitting needles and stiff acrylic afghan yarn! Many beginners like to get started with a pair of bamboo knitting needles, as these aren’t as slippery or awkward to hold. A middle-ofthe-road needle size that’s not
too small and not too big is a must: consider using a US size 8 (5 millimeter) needle. Next, you’ll need a smooth, medium weight yarn (called “worsted weight”) in a color that you love, but not a dark color that’s difficult to see. Many beginners get started with a small basic project in a washable, woolblend yarn or cotton yarn that allows you to practice the knit stitch over and over, such as a scarf or dishcloth. Knitting supplies are available at most craft stores, and your LYS—your “local yarn shop” where you can get individualized attention, help with your knitting, and advice from someone who has many years of experience. Local yarn shops often offer a variety of knitting classes for those who want to learn how to knit and experienced knitters who want to learn something new. Yarn for Ewe, located at 129 Main Street in Randolph, offers ongoing weekly knitting classes that new students can join any time. Whether you’ve never picked up a pair of needles or have been knitting for years but want to learn how to make socks, sweaters, and other advanced projects, these classes are for you. Weekly classes meet on Thursday and Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon and Thursday nights from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Everyone is working on different projects in these
weekly classes, so bring whatever you’re working on or come on in to get started on your first project. Special classes are taught on Saturday afternoons from 1 to 3 p.m., when you can learn how to make a specific project that everyone in the class is making, such as Norwegian Fair Isle mittens, beaded fingerless gloves, and a lace cowl. To learn more about Yarn for Ewe’s knitting classes, call (716)267-2070 and check out Yarn for Ewe on Facebook. Knitting is a great way to meet new people and form new friendships. Laura Flanagan, director of the Ellicottville Memorial Library, invites experienced knitters and newbies alike to join their weekly knitting group. Flanagan explained, “People bring whatever they’re working on and everyone gets new ideas for their knitting. Although it’s not a class where we teach you how to knit, everyone is willing to help you. The more the merrier!” The library’s knitting group meets every Monday and alternates evening and afternoons: on Jan. 23, the group meets from 2 to 4 p.m. and on Jan. 30, the group meets from 6 to 8 p.m. “We have a great time,” said Flanagan, “especially in the evenings when we sit in the comfy chairs by the fireplace!” To learn more, stop by the Ellicottville Memorial Library at 6499 Maples Road or call 699-2842. Stay tuned to the Ellicottville Times and learn more about how you can use your knitting to give back to your local community and take part in national and international knitting charities!

She has developed several specialized courses for Girl Scouts, local college groups and other community organizations. She serves as the rifle instructor and has presented on surviving active attack scenarios for the award winning Becoming an Outdoors Woman program in New York.

The bubble finally broke when the Ellicottville girls’ Varsity basketball team’s hope for a perfect season was squashed by the Franklinville Panthers last week. Both teams now have identical 9-1 records, but the advantage will go to the Panthers with their 50-34 win over the Eagles. This much-anticipated matchup looked like it wasn’t going to disappoint the fans as the teams sized each other up in the first half. Having held the lead throughout the first half, the Panthers took a slim two- point lead to the locker room, 20-22. It wasn’t until the mid-point of the third quarter that the Eagles finally took the lead and looked like a 9-0 team, 26-25. Unfortunately, the lead was distinguished by the ever hot shooting from Panther’s freshman guard Danielle Haskell. Haskell led all scorers with 24 points, hitting long range threes, looking more like an NBA player than someone in the 9th grade. To be fair to the Eagles, many questionable foul calls took the steam out of their attack and gave momentum to the Panthers. In the last three minutes of the 3rd, Franklinville went on a terror, blowing the shocked girls from Ellicottville right out of their own gym and in front of a packed house, 26-37. Marrissa Hamilton’s frustration was growing and very visible on her face, but couldn’t rally her team to stop the Panthers. Her normally hot threepoint shooting and dominant
rebounding was nowhere to be seen and Evelyn Cortez was in deep foul trouble early on in the game. The only player that played well for Ellicottville was senior and co-captain Emmalea Erlandson, but one player does not make a team. The final quarter didn’t see any improvement as the lead grew steadily for Franklinville, burying Ellicottville by 16 points, a winning margin more common to the Eagles, who average 27 points over their opponents. Although the loss was a major blow to the Lady Eagles’ ego, they quickly bounced back to their winning ways as they clobbered Catt/ Little Valley Timberwolves by 40 points this past Tuesday night, winning 70-30. The rematch with Franklinville will take place on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at Franklinville; tip-off time will be 7:30 p.m. The Eagles’ next home game will be a tough one as they host the 9-1 Pine Valley Panthers this Friday night Jan. 20; game time 7:30 p.m. (FYI, Pine Valley’s only loss was also at the hands of Franklinville, losing by 31 points, 36-67, this past Tuesday night at Franklinville. This should be a very interesting game!) The boys’ Varsity Eagles will host Franklinville in their next home game on Monday, Feb. 6. This will be a re-match between these two evenly-matched teams; the previous contest had Ellicottville the victors by only one point. The contest will also feature a rematch between two of the top players in all of Section 6: 6’5” junior Elliot Bowen, averaging 21 points
St. Bonaventure’s Mckenna Maycock had three steals in her team’s 5th consecutive loss at the hands of Fordham University last Saturday at home. The women’s squad has dropped to 6-12 overall and 1-5 in conference play, sitting in 12th place in the Atlantic 10 conference that is lead by 6-0 Fordham. The Lady Bonnies will host 10th place Duquesne this Saturday, Jan. 21 at 4 p.m. at the Reilly Center. In men’s action, 5th place St. Bonaventure is currently riding a two-game winning streak and will host 10th place St. Joseph’s at the Reilly Center this coming Tuesday, Jan. 24 at 7 p.m.
NCAA Division III Basketball
Hilbert Lady Hawks Shannon Rogers snagged nine rebounds to help her team to their eighth victory over the weekend and fifth in AMCC conference play, where they are sitting in 4th place. Hilbert plays at home this weekend Saturday, Jan. 21 at 1 p.m. against 8th place Penn State Altoona. This game precedes the men’s game, also against Altoona. The men are in 5th place, while Altoona sits in 3rd. This will be the second meeting between the two schools; PSA won the first match-up by only one point, 83-84. A win for Hilbert will put both teams in a tie for 3rd place. Player development tip of the week addresses a much overlooked aspect of basketball and something to keep in mind as you fine tune your game and foul shooting ability. Most close games are won from the free throw line, so it is important to stress the importance of this shot from the charity stripe. The other important point to remember is that the distance of the free throw line from the basket is the same, whether you play in the NBA or at the modified level. If your FT average is 70 percent and you are in grade eight, you shot better than many NBA stars!

Nyah Solly (HO) took 14th, Charleigh Priestman (HO) 18th, Isabella Stringer (HO) 19th, Amanda Arteaga (HO) 22nd and Megan Williams (HV) 23rd. HoliMont’s Sarah Kelly finished 26th, Gianna Ferrara (HO) 27th, Cece Carls (HO) 30th, Kate Carter (HO) 35th and Megan Peters (HO) 38th.

Holiday Valley’s Alexander Wojnowski took the silver medal in the opening GS. Teammate Ross Fuller finished 8th with HoliMont’s David Rintoul rounding out the top ten with a 10th place. William Dunn (HV) had the break out race of his career with an 11th place. Will Knauss (HO) finished 16th, Dylan Potter (HV) 20th, John Smilie (HV) 21st, Ryan Scanlon (HV) 23rd and Ian McKenna (HO) 27th. Nicholas Koerber (HV) took
look at the reappointment schedule for both boards to ensure that term endings are staggered to ensure continuity. The board will be informed if term adjustments are recommended. In other business, the board accepted the 2016 annual report from Building Inspector/ Code Enforcement Officer Gil Wiswall. The report is a summary of actions taken and permits issued on behalf of the town. Town resident (and former highway superintendent candidate) Jeff Williams attended the board meeting and complained that some town roads were in bad shape after last week’s heavy storm, which dumped an inch of rain and melted several feet of snow. He argued that the highway department should do more preventive work, such as breaking into snowplow piles to open ditches. Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley pointed out that opening ditches “can backfire,”

Alexander Wojnowski of Holiday Valley once again walked away with a podium spot finishing in 3rd; right behind was teammate Mitchell Azcarate in 4th place. Ross Fuller (HV) finished in 7th place after a thrilling first run fiasco. The racer ahead of Fuller fell and he caught up to him at the end of the run. Fuller made the smart decision and instead of taking a provisional run, he elected to take his hand time (electronic timing back up) seeing as the finish was a State Team qualifying run. Logan Kidd of HoliMont finished in 10th, Reichen Morrisey (HV) 13th, William Dunn (HV) 16th, Will Knauss (HO) 17th and Ryan Scanlon (HV) had his break out race finishing 19th.

stressed,” due to its low fund balance. The bulk of Monday’s meeting dealt with the annual approval of town policies and officials’ posts and duties for 2017. There were no significant changes to the makeup of town officials or their assignments. Town board meetings will continue to be held on the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. except for the February 2017 meeting, which will be held a week early. The board reapproved the town’s procurement policy, but Keis let the board know that the policy needs to be updated before being reapproved in 2018. Three members of the Town Planning Board were reappointed to seven-year terms: Nate Hammond, Annie Widger and Al Stocker. Stocker and Tracy Hamlett were reappointed to five- year terms on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Keis noted that he and Town Clerk Betty Jane Horning will

Eric Feldbauer, a 38-yearold lifelong resident of Great Valley and father of two has been accepted for Stem Cell therapy through StemGenex out of San Diego, California.

Prior to this diagnosis, Eric was one of the earlier snowboard instructors at Holiday Valley and an accomplished guitarist. Eric shared this sentiment,
As one of the largest and most successful private ski and outdoor recreational clubs in the northeast, we can’t wait to showcase what our members have known for over half a century! The most successful private clubs are those built around the foundation of enduring relationships and social camaraderie between friends and associates and we are no different at Holimont. With that in mind, we are embarking on a campaign in which we are asking our current members to assist us in identifying those individuals whom they feel will properly embrace the culture and tradition of our club and personally invite them to join. By receiving this personal invitation, you and your family are invited to participate in the “Discover HoliMont” Preview Membership Initiative, giving your entire family the opportunity to preview the club and experience all we have to offer first-hand. The preview opportunity allows you to enjoy the club without the payment of an upfront initiation fee commitment, with the obligation of committing to a preview membership relationship for 4 months (applicable dues, fees and charges will apply). During your preview term, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a preferred initiation fee; a reduced initiation fee if you submit full payment within 30 days of joining, or you can choose a generous staged payment schedule. Additionally, once you secure your membership within 30 days of joining by submitting initiation fee payment in full, or upon submitting your first staged payment, you will enjoy monthly credits totalling as much as $960 over 24 months to your club account to spend any way you wish.
noting that trucks can get stuck in ditches and that water can escape tunnels that typically form under snow banks. Some roads that are on the list for future improvements, he acknowledged, had problems, but many others fared well, thanks to efforts over the past several years. “We’re gaining ground,” he said. “It’s getting better every year.” During his report to the board, Hurley explained that one of the town’s dump trucks needs a new frame, which would give the vehicle another several years of life and make it functional during the summer. The board authorized Hurley to advertise for bids on the job. Bids will be opened at the March meeting. The next meeting of the Town of Mansfield board will be held one week early, on Monday, Feb. 13. As usual, the meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the town hall in Eddyville. Photo by Chris Cove

“The Sleepwalker” by Christopher Bohjalian
Annalee Ahlberg is a sleepwalker whose affliction manifests in ways both bizarre and devastating. The morning of Annalee’s disappearance, a search party combs the nearby woods. When the police discover a small swatch of fabric, a nightshirt, ripped and hanging from a tree branch, it seems certain Annalee is dead. As one daughter peels back the layers of mystery surrounding Annalee’s disappearance, more questions arise. Why does the detective know so much about her mother? Why did Annalee leave her bed only when her father was away? And if she really died while sleepwalking, where was the body? This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,500 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Women’s Ski Clinic Continued from front page
boot fitting, two lunches and one dinner, plenty of skiing with Densmore Ballard and HV Instructors, video analysis of each participant, demo equipment, door prizes and more. This will not be the first time Densmore Ballard is making a stop in Ellicottville. “I love Holiday Valley!” she said. “This will be my fifth winter hosting a ‘Your Turn” event there.” The first year, Densmore Ballard was invited by HV’s Marketing Director Jane Eshbaugh and former Snowsports School Director Ron Kubicki. “Holiday Valley gave me such a warm welcome and lots of support,” she stated. “The mountain has the terrain, the snowsports school and the facilities to make an event like this, which has both indoor and outdoor components, run very smoothly and makes the participants feel special. Since then, I’ve had women from as far away as Cleveland and Pittsburgh ask about the event. It’s a great excuse for a trip to one of their favorite resorts that’s drive-able. Girls day out!” Since her last trip to HV, Ballard has been busy taking her knowledge of skiing and applying it to print. “I have a new book out, called Ski Faster! I’ll have copies with me in case anyone wants me to sign one ($29.95).” The book
is also available through her web site, www.LisaDensmore. com, and at www.amazon.com. Among the benefits Densmore Ballard hopes attendees will get from her clinic, she lists: “A fun time! A break-through in their skiing. A better understanding of trends in women’s ski gear. More confidence on the slopes. A few new ski buddies.” The clinic will begin on Jan. 26 at 8 a.m. with registration and breakfast.
Pre-registration is advised as attendance is limited. Stop at or call the Snowsports School Desk, (716) 699-2345, ext. 4422 or the Creekside Lodge Children’s Desk at (716) 6992345 ext. 4424. Cost of the clinic is $290. Specially priced lift tickets will also be available, as well as lodging specials at the Inn at Holiday Valley (call 800-3230020 for info).

Get the Most from Weight Training
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
“Fit is not a destination. It’s a way of life.” We have all seen that quote before. And, if you are in any fitness industry, you better believe it. As a trainer, my job is to keep up with the ever-evolving fitness trends and tricks. And since I have been a part of this industry since 1983 (yikes), I have seen many trends come and go. One thing that has stayed consistent, however, is weight training. You don’t have to be a bodybuilder or professional athlete to reap the benefits of weight training. When done correctly, weight training can help you lose fat, increase your strength and muscle tone, and improve bone density. If done incorrectly, however, weight training won’t give you these benefits, and may even lead to injury. You may already know the do’s and don’t’s for weight training, but I’d be negligent as a trainer if I did not give them
to you before encouraging you to weight train. So here goes. When you’re weight training, do: • Lift an appropriate amount of weight. Start with a weight you can lift comfortably 12 to 15 times. For most people, a single set of 12 repetitions with the proper weight can build strength just as efficiently as can three sets of the same exercise. As you get stronger, gradually increase the amount of weight. • Use proper form. Learn to do each exercise correctly. The better your form, the better your results — and the less likely you are to hurt yourself. If you’re unable to maintain good form, decrease the weight or the number of repetitions. Remember that proper form matters even when you pick up and replace your weights on the weight racks. If you’re not sure whether you’re doing a particular exercise correctly, ask a personal trainer or other fitness specialist for help. • Breathe. You might be tempted to hold your breath while you’re lifting weights. Don’t. Holding your breath can lead to dangerous increases in blood pressure. Instead, breathe out as you lift the weight and breathe in as you lower the weight. • Seek balance. Work all of your major muscles — abdominals, legs, chest, back, shoulders and arms. Strengthen the opposing muscles in a balanced way, such as the front of the shoulder and the back of the shoulder.
• Rest. Avoid exercising the same muscles two days in a row. You might work all of your major muscle groups at a single session two or three times a week, or plan daily sessions for specific muscle groups. For example, on Monday, work your arms and shoulders, on Tuesday, work your legs, and so on. Follow these tips to avoid common mistakes when you’re weight training: • Don’t skip the warm-up. Cold muscles are more prone to injury than are warm muscles. Before you lift weights, warm up with five to 10 minutes of brisk walking or other aerobic activity. • Don’t rush. Move the weight in an unhurried, controlled fashion. Taking it slow helps you isolate the muscles you want to work and keeps you from relying on momentum to lift the weight. • Don’t overdo. For most people, completing one set of exercises to the point of fatigue is typically enough. Additional sets may only eat up your time and contribute to overload injury. • Don’t ignore pain. If an exercise causes pain, stop. Try it again in a few days or try it with less weight. • Don’t forget your shoes. Shoes with good traction can keep you from slipping while you’re lifting weights. Remember, the more you concentrate on proper weight training technique, the more you’ll get from your weight training program.
It’s a good idea for all of us to start the season off with a review of safe skiing and riding practices. The Holiday Valley Safety Patrol has created a wide variety of games, events and contests to get guests in the safety mode for National Safety Awareness Month 2017. Ever hear of Cash Cab? How about Cash Chair? During the week of January 21 don’t be alarmed if a Safety Patroller (Yellow Jacket) hops on the chair with you and starts quizzing you on safety on the slopes. If you correctly answer the series of questions you’ll be rewarded with a Holiday Valley gift card! Speaking of chairlifts, come check out the new “practice chair” on the plaza deck next to the Main Lodge starting January 14. The Safety Patrol
will be giving new skiers and snowboarders tips on safe chairlift riding practices. Most of us who have skied for years take chairlifts for granted but to a newbie, a chairlift can be a daunting challenge! They’ll cover preparing to load, loading the lift, riding the lift, preparing to unload and unloading. The ever popular “Spin to Win” game will take place near the Clocktower on the last two weekends of January. Answer the safety questions correctly and win a prize! Hint: brush up on Your Responsibility Code and SMART Style available on the Holiday Valley website at holidayvalley.com/winter/ safety. And if you are caught on the slopes in the act of doing something GOOD related to safety, you might just get rewarded with a free slice of pizza and a drink! This activity is scheduled for the last two weekends of January, but hey, why not exhibit safe skiing/riding practices all year long with the reward of good karma? Have you ever enjoyed a
delicious grilled hot dog or sausage at the top of Mardi Gras at the weekend Safety Patrol Cookouts? It is definitely the best deal in town. They’ll be asking a few patrons each weekend to answer questions about Your Responsibility Code and SMART style. Correct answers will win a free hot dog or sausage and a drink at the cookout or pizza and a drink at the Lodge. So brush up on your knowledge about safety on the slopes, and remember to always ski and ride safety…all season long!

HV Freestyle Team Competes in Lake Placid
By Stan Pawlik
This past weekend, five members of the Holiday Valley Freestyle Team traveled to Lake Placid for an Eastern Championship Series mogul event. This event had them competing on the same mogul course that the World Cup was held on two days earlier. It was a long, steep and icy course that proved to be very challenging. Saturday’s training went well for the group and all team members were pleased with their progress on the course. The single mogul event was held on Sunday and all
three HVFT girls had top 20 results. Both Morghan and Lauryn Socha narrowly missed out on a top 10 finish. Morghan led the way with an 11th place result, while Lauryn finished right behind her in 12th. Kaitlyn McGuire also had a good day and in 15th place. In the men’s competition, Mike McGuire and Bryce Butler represented Holiday Valley. Both skied well throughout the long and difficult middle section. Mike had a good run and finished in 22nd place while Bryce skied well, but had a couple of breaks
which affected his score. Bryce finished the event in 41st place. The dual competition was held Monday. This is a competition where you compete head-to-head against another competitor. The person with the best run will advance to the next round. This proved to be a difficult day for many competitors. There were several crashes and many top skiers were eliminated. Kaitlyn, Mike and Bryce represented Holiday Valley and all skied well. All three advanced to the round of 16.

One of my New Year’s resolutions this year is to spend more time with friends. As my kids get older and our schedules keep getting busier, I find it harder and harder to get out and catch up with many of my friends, which means when I do get the chance to do so, I need to make it count. To me, an ideal night out with friends involves eating appetizers, grabbing a beer (preferably an IPA), working in lots of conversation and laughing, finding a band somewhere and ending with dancing until my feet hurt. If I don’t have to travel far to pack all this in, even better. So, where oh where can I go to check everything off my going out bucket list? Of course—Ellicottville. Ellicottville is a place you can go out if you’re 21 or if you’re 71 and still have a blast. There’s really just no place like it, and I have so many amazing memories of my nights out here. There was the time we ran into a news reporter coming out of the bathroom at the Gin Mill, who we begged to pose for a picture. My pregnant friend insisting we drive from the Wingate to EBC, when it took longer to park than it would have to walk. Finding a single shoe left on the dance floor at Balloons at the end of the night...and wondering if the person it belonged to realized it was missing. There are so many more, and because of that, Ellicottville is always the first place my friends and I think of when we want to go out. It’s Winter Blues Weekend, and why not take the opportunity to call up (OK, text— who am I kidding?) some friends you haven’t seen in a while and catch up? There will be live music going on all over EVL, which is the perfect back drop for reconnecting, making new memories and even making new friends. And if you can’t make it then, pick a night— any night— and chances are there’s something fun going on. I’ve never had a bad night out in Ellicottville!

Springville-Griffith Institute has a variety of electives offered for all high school students. One of the business electives offered is Sports Marketing. In the Sports Marketing class, there are students from 10th, 11th and 12th grades. In order to give the students the best possible learning experience, the goal is to engage in hands-on activities as much as possible. After considering several options for activities, the class finally decided to do a celebrity vs staff basketball game. This became the Roundball Rumble for Roswell. Roswell Park was selected as he beneficiary due to the great work they do in the Western New York community. The first challenge would be getting some celebrities out to Springville. After relentless pursuit via email and social media, the class was able to
Upcoming Events
This week marks the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States and it has me wondering if
and when a President came to Springville? I am sure the thirteenth President of the United States, Millard Fillmore, probably heard of Springville before his tenure of office in the 1850s; he had practiced law in East Aurora, though there is no record of him ever coming to town. There were the claims that Thomas and Americaus Lincoln, who lived on Central Avenue, were cousins— or relatives of some sort— to Abraham Lincoln. Thomas Lincoln was notable as the architect that designed the 1879 Saint Aloysius Church. Still, there is no record that Abraham Lincoln ever came to Springville to visit his
relatives. There are many stories of people from who had contact with various presidents. Most recently, Springville-Griffith Institute graduate Katie Cole was featured in the Buffalo News in 2010 for having lunch with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. More famously, George Schuster would be called to Oyster Bay to visit with Theodore Roosevelt after his winning of the Great New York to Paris Race in 1908. At that meeting, it is recounted that George Schuster was asked by Roosevelt, “How did you protect yourself?” Schuster pulled out his pistol and showed it to the Teddy. See A Look Back page 7

Highway Superintendent Dennis Dains gave an equipment update and reported the Town needs to replace some equipment, including the VacAll shared by the town of Eden and Colden. He received a quote from Gunthrie HeliArc Inc. for $14,900 for the repairs, along with additional miscellaneous items that need to be replaced at the cost of $2,952. Concord, Eden and Colden will split the costs three-ways for a total of $5,900 each. It was reported that the department’s equipment has generally held up pretty

Winter Blues Weekend Jan. 20-22
Shake off those winter blues and head out for a weekend of live music during Ellicottville’s Winter Blues Weekend, Jan. 20-22. Some of the region’s best blues artists will take the stage at various venues around the village and at Holiday Valley to help you break out of those midwinter doldrums. “The holidays are over, winter has you in your nice, warm home, but you are starting to go a bit stir crazy. We get that,” Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Events and Membership Manager, Barb Pump, said. “This is one of those weekends where you can just let go of all of the pent-up feelings and get out for some great music, good friends and a drink or two.” That weekend is also the annual Harley Day at Holiday Valley. Head up and enjoy the slopes, but also head to the Main Lodge where you can experience all there is in the way of motorcycles and riding, once the weather breaks and the roads are a bit better, of course.
Last week was a busy one. On Wednesday, I attended the Roundball Rumble for Roswell with family and friends. This was a basketball game featuring SGI teachers and alumni against some local celebrities, and put on by the high school sports marketing class. The gym was full, it was fun for my girls to see their teachers battling it out on the court, and the best part was that 100 percent of the proceeds went to Roswell Park, a place that is close to my heart, as I’m sure is the case for many. The following night, my daughter, Ava, and several of her classmates were inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. One of the requirements for induction was that each student had to complete at least 10 hours of community service. Ava earned hers by volunteering with two teachers at SES, fostering two dogs and attending a pet adoption event at McKinley Mall. As a district, SGI goes above and beyond to promote community service. Even at a young age, students are not only encouraged, but required, to give back to their community. Seventh graders have to complete the Kids Can Make a Difference project that spans a majority of the school year. Eighth graders are required to have three hours of service before they can attend their Washington D.C. field trip in the spring. And that’s only in middle school! The possibilities on how and where students can get in their hours are endless. Kids are encouraged to be creative and find things they’re interested in so the “work” doesn’t even seem like work. Thank you to all the SGI teachers, staff and administration for instilling the importance of service into our children. This is something that will stay with them for a lifetime. As a parent, I also look at it as a way to enjoy a different kind of quality time with my kids. Take a cue from the students in our community. Give back. It feels good! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Capturing the Moments: Jamey Jean Photography
By Alicia Dziak
I was the parent who took my babies to be photographed every chance I got. After I had two little girls, less than two years apart, I was running out to buy matching outfits and stopping into the mall photo studio almost as often as I went to the grocery store. When I look back on those photos now, I’m so glad I have them, but I also wish that I had known a good newborn photographer! Enter Jamey Jean Photography. Any parent knows that babies change from day to day. If you don’t capture their tiny moments while you can, they are gone in the blink of an eye. Jamey Jean Photography, located at 56 East Main Street, offers a comfortable studio space, and owner/ photographer Jamey Woodruff offers professional service and a genuine love of what she does. “I’ve had an interest in photography since I was a little kid playing with my Dad’s Polaroid,” said Woodruff. “I moved on to a 35mm film camera and became more interested in photography when I was assisting my mom on her wedding shoots. From there, I bought my first digital camera and became completely fascinated with the art of photography.” Woodruff quickly found that her niche was with the tiniest of clients. “I adore newborn photography,” she said. “Besides the fact that I love babies, I really love all the creative aspects of it, like designing different backgrounds to complement each baby’s personality.” It’s obvious that Woodruff has fun with it, as her studio is filled to the brim with all kinds of fabrics and props. “I like neutral and organic looking setups, flowers, feathers, bonnets and natural fibers,” she said. Newborn sessions should be booked soon after a woman finds out she’s expecting, and Woodruff added that she’s careful not to overbook these

kinds of sessions so she can be flexible with the dates. As a profession, Woodruff notes that she loves how photography evolves. “You can constantly grow and learn and change,” she said. One of Woodruff’s learning ventures took her to Indianapolis last year, when she took a workshop with Rachel Vanoven. “I consider (Vanoven) to be the best newborn photographer in the United States,” Woodruff said. “Her focus is on safety.” The workshop entailed hands-on safety training, and when it comes to newborn photography, that specifically includes things like properly supporting a baby. “A baby’s safety and comfort is always my top priority,” she said. Adding to the comfort of the studio is the warm temp it’s kept at to keep babies warm during their sessions. Woodruff also offers snacks and free Wifi to parents who come in.
Woodruff sees this continuing education as a differentiator for her business. In addition to doing newborn photography, Woodruff also likes to focus on maternity, older babies and families. “I love the personality that develops at that (sitting) age and their different facial expressions,” Woodruff said of her baby clients. She also does cake smashing sessions to celebrate first birthdays, that while messy, are always fun. When families request a photo session, Woodruff prefers the great outdoors, year-round, although she said, “It’s nice to have the studio as a backup.” “I like to have the relaxed natural feel of the outdoors,” she said. Woodruff explained that while she gets the traditional “everyone looking at the camera and smiling” shots, some of her favorites end up being the ones of “families interacting.” While clients always have creative control of their locations, Woodruff said she has plenty of suggestions as well. Woodruff does high school senior portraits too, mentioning that she can even do yearbookstyle photos for girls. Senior portraits are usually taken in the summer and fall, and Woodruff is currently booking sessions for the class of 2018. While Woodruff opened her studio in May 2014, she is no stranger to Springville, having been born and raised here, graduating from SGI in 2001. Although I met Jamey a few years too late for her to photograph my girls as babies, in the several years that I’ve known her, she’s photographed my now teen and tween numerous times, both inside and outside her studio, always making sure they were relaxed and comfortable. Gone are the days of heading to a mall studio; it’s pretty cool you can stay right in Springville and get professional photos done that are anything but cookie cutter. For more info, visit www. jameyjeanphotography.com or visit her Facebook page, where she regularly holds contests.

coaches corner Varsity Girls Basketball, Coach Bob Gainey The Varsity girls basketball team returned to action last Thursday night and came away with an excellent 40-25 win over JFK. The girls controlled the action from the start with their suffocating defense. Julia Krzemien led all scorers with 16 points and Ivette Lewandowski added eight points. The girls played a terrific brand of defensive basketball led by Lexi Sopko. Other strong performances of the night were turned in by Leah Frank, Sydney Rosati, and Maddie Pazzuti. The girls dropped a tough game on Friday night to Holland by a score of 41-28. The girls’ defense was fantastic throughout the night; the major issues which led to the loss was Holland’s aggressive offensive rebounding and the Lady Griffs struggling from the floor with their shots. Strong performances on the night were turned in by Ivette Lewandowski, Julia Krzemien, Lexi Sopko, and Leah Frank. The girls dropped their league game to Tonawanda on Tuesday night by a score of 36-20. The Lady Griffs did a great job on the back court of the Warriors, but had a tough time containing their forwards as they accounted for 26 of their total team points. The girls stayed close throughout the game and even got to within six points after a Sydney Rosati jump shot. Unfortunately, the girls didn’t quite make enough baskets to get back into the game. Top scorers for the Lady Griffs included Carrie Dickinson (eight points,) Sydney Rosati (four points,) Maddie Pazzuti (four points,) and Ivette Lewandowski (four points.) The girls will look to get back to their winning ways when they travel on Friday night to take on Cleve Hill.

After the first game was cancelled due to inclement weather, the rescheduled date was Wednesday, Jan. 11. When the player introductions began around 6:30, the gym was packed to capacity. At the start of the game, the staff/ alumni team jumped out to a first quarter lead behind the play of alum Billy Dickinson. The celebs rallied in the second quarter to cut the lead at half to one point. Halftime brought the arrival of Joe Buscaglia and he lived up to the hype. He provided a boost to the celebrities and they took a lead and didn’t look back. The final
score had the celebrities win 99-88. Post-game awards were given out following the game. The Pheasant award, which was given to the individual with the most colorful on court personality, was won by Tom Martin. The game MVP went to Joe Licata. The event raised over $2,000 and organizers would like to send a big thank you to the Superintendent and building principal for allowing them to get the game in.

PUBLIC NOTICES
Buffalo History Museum Inauguration History Event, Free Admission Jan. 20
By Mary Heyl
If you’ve always watched the Presidential Inauguration on television at home, consider giving your family a whole new experience of this historic event! The Buffalo History Museum invites you to commemorate the swearingin ceremony this Friday at the Inauguration History Event. This free all-day event includes a live-stream of the inauguration, followed by a coffee reception and free tours of the museum, as well as free children’s activities. This is the perfect opportunity to explore the many exhibits of the Buffalo History Museum, which celebrates Buffalo’s unique place in Western New York history and American history. Simply walking through the doors of the museum is a historical experience, for the museum building itself is the largest artifact that visitors will encounter. The Buffalo History Museum was founded in 1862 by an inspired group of individuals whose primary mission was to share the region’s unique collection of paintings, photographs, and artifacts. As the organization grew, the need for a larger facility became apparent, and the opportunity presented itself in 1901.
Buffalo beat out Niagara Falls to host the Pan-American Exposition, a World’s Fair held there from May 1 through Nov. 2, 1901. The famous fair featured all kinds of new inventions and attractions like the x-ray machine, mechanical rides, a stadium, and a stage for musical performances. On the land that is now Delaware Park, 12 different buildings were constructed to house the fair’s exhibits. While most of these buildings were temporary structures that were demolished at the end of the fair before winter, the New York State Building was the only permanent structure. Designed by George Cary, whose later work included Buffalo General Hospital and the University at Buffalo buildings, the New York State Building is known for its impressive pillars, as Cary modeled it after the Parthenon in Athens. Today, the museum is home to over 100,000 physical objects, 200,000 photographs, and 20,000 books that chronicle Western New York’s story. Visitors will enjoy the museum’s nine exhibits, which include the world’s largest Buffalo Bills football memorabilia collection. The museum is excited to share the “Inside Tim Russert’s Office: If it’s Sunday, it’s ‘Meet the Press’” exhibit about the late NBC newsman and Buffalo native. For several years, this exhibit was on display at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., and the museum is pleased to have the exhibit, which is a recreation of Russert’s office, back in his hometown. Those interested in the history of the region will appreciate the museum’s many exhibits that highlight Western New York’s heritage. The John R. Oishei Native American
Gallery is one of the museum’s permanent exhibits that honors Western New York’s first inhabitants. The exhibit features a walk-in longhouse, an impressive headdress display, and Seneca Orator Red Jacket’s famous peace medal. “Neighbors: The People of Erie County” recognizes Buffalo’s rich ethnic heritage through artifacts and stories of immigrant Germans, Poles, Italians, African Americans, Irish, and many more. The Train Gallery is a true marvel, as it features 1900s replica model trains running on more than 200 feet of track, an Erie Canal lock (built to scale), and 100 miniature buildings that portray the city of Buffalo during the turn of the 20th century. There are lots of great events to look forward to at the museum this winter. The M&T Bank Third Fridays, which include this Friday’s Inauguration History Event, offer free admission on the third Friday of every month. On Jan. 25 at 6 p.m., Dr. Phil Stokes, director of Penn Dixie, will be presenting “She Sells Sea Shells: The Story of Mary Anning’s Fossils.” Save the date for President Lincoln’s Birthday Celebration, the longest running in the nation, on Feb. 12 at 12:30 p.m. Bring your family for this program, which includes a Lincoln orator, uniformed reenactors, and birthday cake, of course. The Buffalo History Museum is located at 1 Museum Court and free parking is available. The museum is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. (closed on Mondays).

A Look Back Continued from front page
(Imagine what would happen if you tried that today?) Schuster would use that same pistol as security guard for Winsmith during World War II. Of course, we can’t forget the picture of our own Thomas Reynolds with Ronald Reagan that appears in the Springville History book. I am sure Mr. Reynolds visited President George W. Bush many times when he was head of the House Republican Caucus. But still, that is not the President coming to Springville. Very few candidates running for President have ever passed through our town. William Jennings Bryan, who ran against William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt in the 1890s, famous for his Cross of Gold Speech and was Secretary of State during Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, spoke at the Springville Lyceum in 1922. He even spent the night! The closest Hillary Clinton came to Springville was when it was decided to split the 716 area code into the 716 and 585 area codes. Clinton came to Arcade to show her support as the newly-elected New York Junior Senator. With her help, Pioneer Central Schools would fall under one area code. George Pataki, a 2016 candidate, came to Springville in 1994 while running for governor of New York. He never came to Springville after that. One governor of major importance did come to Springville in 1963. Nelson Rockefeller came to Springville to open West Valley Nuclear Services. In 1974, Rockefeller became Vice President under President Gerald Ford. With that said, Andrew Cuomo’s recent visit to blow up the bridge could count for something, him being only the third sitting governor to come to Springville and that he was the Housing and Urban Development Secretary under Bill Clinton, almost a cabinet member. It is surprising after looking to find which president that would come and spend time in Springville. He wasn’t President of the United States at the time. He was Grover Cleveland. According to his biographers, Cleveland was born in New Jersey and educated on the east coast. Mr. Cleveland decide to move west in 1855. His first stop was Buffalo, NY, where his uncle, Lewis Allen, gave him a job in his law firm. Shortly, he took work as a clerk in the Rogers, Bowen and Rogers law firm. He was admitted to the New York State bar in 1859. In 1865, a young and ambitious lawyer, he ran for
district attorney and lost to his friend and roommate Lyman Bass. Still with political ambitions, Cleveland, backed by his friend Oscar Folsom, ran for Erie County Sheriff in 1870 and by a margin of 303 votes, Cleveland won. The sheriff years were, as some would call, the politically dead period for him. However, it was also the time that would mark several scandalous moments for Cleveland that would haunt him in his bigger political runs. First was in 1872, when Patrick Morrissey would be executed for murdering his mother. Cleveland had reservations about the hanging, but took the noose into his own hands and executed Morrissey himself. Cleveland was the one President of the United States to hang a man. He also executed John Gaffney on Feb. 14, 1873. By both accounts, the men were Irish and it wouldn’t be surprising if the executions were ethnicity biased and accounted for Cleveland’s reservations. To complicate matters even worse, Cleveland began a relationship with widower Maria Halpin. During this time, Halpin gave birth to a daughter and Cleveland supported Halpin and her daughter for the rest of their lives. During the 1884 Presidential Campaign, the Halpin scandal would be the focus of the Republican Party with the antiCleveland chant, “Ma, Ma, where’s my pa…” Cleveland left the Sheriff’s office in 1881 to run as the Democratic candidate as the mayor of Buffalo. In 1882, Cleveland was elected governor of New York and became the best choice for Democrats in 1884 when he ran for President. He was elected. He would be defeated in 1888 and later run and win in 1892. As for the Springville connection: It was during the tumultuous sheriff years that Grover Cleveland would become with the notable trout fishing spots throughout Erie County. Actually, there was only one and there still is: Spring brook. The small stream starts in East Concord and makes its way through Springville to the Cattaraugus Creek that is the spawning ground to the best brook trout in Erie County. Today it is the only native population of brook trout. It was here that the future President found peace. And so, President Cleveland, as of today’s inauguration, remains the only person to hold office to have actually been in Springville.

facebook.com/springvilletimes Poems by SES Fourth Graders In Mrs. MacSwan’s and Mrs. Gallivan’s 4th grade ELA class at Springville Elementary, the students have read the book Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. Throughout the year they have read and analyzed poetry and learned poetry elements, such as rhyme, rhythm, free verse, repetition, metaphors, and similes. The students have now become poets themselves and were inspired by famous poets Robert Frost, Valerie Worth, and Walter Dean Myers.
