It’s wintertime and Allegany State Park (ASP), New York State’s largest state park, is ready to be enjoyed by winter enthusiasts. What better way to enjoy it than to spend a weekend or more winter camping with family or friends? The park houses hundreds of cabins, many of them winterized. There are also full-service cottages, on both the Red House and Quaker sides, that include full kitchens, as well as bathrooms with showers. A good way to find the one that best meets your needs is to check out www. reserveamerica.com. There, you can access park maps to find your favorite location, and read details of specific cabins, such as number of rooms and type of heat. Prices range, depending on size and location of cabins, and all this information is provided on the website. (Note that in winter, you must reserve cabins for a minimum of two nights.) In addition to the cottages and various styles of cabins, one of ASP’s two group camps is available to rent during the winter months. Group Camp 5, located

between Quaker Lake and the Quaker rental office, offers accommodations for up to 72 people in 18 electrified cabins. The newly remodeled group camp features a large mess hall equipped with a commercial refrigerator, freezer, hot water heater, sinks, shelves and gas cooking range. Once you’ve made your reservations, the park is an open canvas of winter activities! Visitors can enjoy snowmobiling on miles of groomed trails or enjoy the scenery by foot, snowshoes or cross-country skis. There are numerous hills of various grades, so bring your sleds and flying saucers, and feel like a kid again! For the winter sportsmen (and women), ice fishing on the lakes is a popular activity. Even if you don’t fish, taking a stroll around the lake to see the “huts” out on the ice makes for a unique experience. (For more information, visit www.dec.ny.gov.) The park also offers special events all winter long, perfect for filling the time between meals. Third Saturday Treks are free guided walks to

various points of interest throughout the park. As the name implies, these treks are held the third Saturday of every month, and are led by park staff, members of the Allegany State Park Friends Group or Historical Society members. The Jan. 20 trek will explore the wintery Bear Paw trail up at Summit Warming hut area. Hikers are asked to meet at Summit Warming Hut, site 16, at 1 p.m. and to come dressed for the weather. The hike will last approximately two hours. For more information, visit the Allegany State Park Facebook page or contact the Environmental Education/Recreation Department at (716) 354-9101 ext. 236 or AlleganySP@parks.ny.gov. After the hike, take in some live music in the beautiful lobby of the Red House Administration Building for the park’s “By the Fireside” series. This month’s featured performance is by Nick Kody. Inﬂuenced by a wide range of rock, blues and country music, Kody offers a unique and diverse interpretation of the Americana genre through both his recorded work

and live performances. Whether solo or backed by the Creek Road Band, Kody’s live shows display hard work, high-caliber musicianship, good friends and great times. The show takes place on Saturday, Jan. 20 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Whether visiting the park for a weekend or over a school break, it’s easy to ﬁnd just the right balance between relaxation and activity in the park. Plug in the Crockpot before you head outside your cabin for the day and reward yourself with piping hot chili when you return from a hard day of play. Add in some hot cocoa, a card game, and great conversation and winter might just become your new favorite season to spend at ASP!

Celebrate Winter: Food & Crafts to Stay Warm on Cold Days

By Mary Heyl

Winter is the perfect time of year to learn something new—not only is January the time of year for resolutions, but there’s plenty of time to put them into practice! This month, resolve to try something new, whether it’s a new recipe, sharing some homemade fun, or learning to ﬁnger knit with your children or grandchildren. Snowy days mean there’s nothing but time to put these ideas into practice! Jolinda Hacket of thespruce.com loves to make Tortilla Pie, an easy, delicious recipe that will warm up the whole family on a chilly day! To get started, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine 2 cups of chopped onion (fresh or frozen), 1 ½ cups of chopped red pepper (fresh or frozen), 2 minced garlic cloves, ¾ cup of salsa, 2 teaspoons of ground cumin and 2 cans (15.8 oz each) of black beans, drained, in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes. Arrange six 6-inch corn tortillas in the bottom of a 9x13” baking dish, overlapping as necessary. Spread half of the bean mixture over the tortillas and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded Monterey Jack and/or cheddar cheese. Repeat the layer with six more tortillas, remaining bean mixture and one more cup of cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Serve warm and garnish with tomatoes, sour cream, olives or whatever toppings you like! For the crafty kid in your life, give these adorable glove animals a try! Nearly everyone has a stash of gloves without mates, and this activity is the perfect way to use them. All you need to get started is some gloves, needle and thread,

stuffing, buttons, ribbons, pompoms and any other embellishments you like! Start by folding the thumb and two middle fingers that are not needed for ears inside the glove and whipstitch across the opening with the needle and thread. Next, stuff the glove with fiber fill and fill the fingers (future ears!) if you want them to stand up, or leave them empty if they will be folded over. Stitch the opening for the hand closed. Teach your little ones how to sew a button and create the face for the stuffed animal (for non-sewers or young children, use craft glue to attach the buttons and embellishments). Stitch the ears down and experiment by folding back the fingers or use the fingers as arms and legs! Even if you’ve never tried knitting and don’t have any knitting needles, you can finger knit. Finger knitting (otherwise known as French knitting) is a fun, easy way to make long, colorful chains that can be mini scarves for dolls and stuffed animals or braided together to make a scarf for you! All you need is a pair of scissors and some heavyweight yarn to get started. Kate from thecrafttrain.com offers a detailed photo tutorial of

finger knitting—a great way for kids to pass the time, even while watching TV. Clamp the end of the yarn between your thumb and the palm of your hand. If you are right handed clamp it in your left hand, and if you are left handed do the opposite. Create a figure eight with the yarn around your first two fingers. Create a second figure eight directly above it. Leaving the second loop in place, lift the bottom loop over the top of it and slip it off the end of your finger, repeat with the second finger. You can now let go of the end which has been clamped between your thumb and the palm of your hand. Give it a gentle tug. Repeat the stitch by making another figure eight, lifting the bottom loops over the top loops and slipping them off your fingers. Continue knitting using this technique. When you are happy with the length, slip both of the loops off the ends of your fingers and hold them in one hand. Snip the yarn with your scissors and thread the end of it back through both loops, gently tugging the end of your rope. You’re done!

Winter Olympics Continued from front page

we don’t usually get to watch live. Crosscountry skiing, popular in Western New York, plays a big role in some of these competitions. Cross-Country Skiing According to the U.S. Ski Team’s website, “Cross country is organized into two techniques: classical, where the skis move parallel to each other through machine-groomed tracks in the snow, and free technique, where skiers propel themselves in a manner similar to speed skating, pushing off with the edge of their skis. Classic technique is the original, ancient method of skiing. Free technique is more modern, having been pioneered by U.S. Ski Team member Bill Koch in the early ‘80s, and is slightly faster than classical — almost 10 percent faster on average.” Men’s cross-country skiing was part of the ﬁrst Winter Olympics in 1924 and women’s was added in 1952. Several events make up this discipline — individual races, mass start races, the skiathlon, the relay, and individual and team sprints, all for both men and women. In the individual race, the skiers start at 30-second intervals. In the mass start race, all skiers start at the same time. In the skiathlon, skiers race the ﬁrst half of the course on classic technique skis, including boots similar to racing boots, and poles that extend to around the armpit of the athlete. The skier then must exchange them for skating

skis and the stiffer boots and longer poles that can extend to the athlete’s chin. The time used to change skis is part of the total time for each athlete. The relay is comprised of four-person teams, in which the first and second legs are skied using the classic technique, and the third and fourth using free technique. The individual sprint events begin with a qualifying round and end with six skiers competing for the gold medal in the final round. Cross-country skiing events begin Feb. 10. Biathlon The biathlon, introduced into the Olympics in 1960, combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. Several biathlon events make up this discipline in the Winter Olympics — individual, sprint, pursuit, mass start race, and mass start relay for both men and women, as well as a mixed relay made up of two men and two women. Competitions include various lengths of ski races interspersed with bouts of shooting. If targets are missed, various penalties are incurred. In pursuit competitions, the start order and intervals are based on the results of the sprint competition. The winner of the sprint competition starts first, and so on. Relay competitions include four members per team, with racers switching in the handover zone where team members need to touch hands. In the mixed relay, the order of racers

is female, female, male, male. In mass start races, athletes start simultaneously. Biathlon events begin Feb. 10. Nordic Combined Nordic Combined individual events have been part of the Olympic program since the first Olympic Winter Games in 1924, with the team events joining the lineup in 1988. It is the only men-only discipline in the Winter Olympics. Nordic Combined events combine ski jumping and a 10 km cross-country ski race. Men’s events include the individual event with a normal hill ski jump, the individual event with a large hill ski jump, and the team event, with two jumps from the large hill and a relay. The individual event, also known as the Gundersen race, takes place in two stages: first, the jump, and second, the race, where the skiers with the most ski jumping points start first, followed by the next best jumper after a gap that reflects the difference in their jumping scores. The Gold goes to the first athlete to cross the finish line. The team event is similar to the individual event, except that teams of four compete. Nordic Combined events begin Feb. 14.

Seniors Elliot Bowen and Griffin Chudy did their usual damage and then some for the Ellicottville boys basketball team Tuesday, but with two other starters dealing with injuries, the Eagles needed a spark off the bench. Coach Dave McCann turned to sixth man junior forward Steven Rowland, who scored a season-high 14 points and pulled down five rebounds. Bowen poured in 25 points with 16 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. Chudy tallied nine assists and three steals with his 10 points, picking up more of the ball-handling duties as point guard Austin Grinols rested most of the game on a nagging injury. Freshman Clayton Rowland added seven points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals for the Eagles (9-1, 2-1). “Steven Rowland played a great game coming off the bench,” McCann said, “even right from the beginning before we had a couple injuries there, when he first came in. I thought he played his best game of the season tonight. And actually we just moved his younger brother Clayton up from the JV just this week and I thought Clayton did a really nice job for only his second varsity game.” Of course, as well as the bench played, the Eagles’ two healthy captains, Bowen and Chudy, led the way as Grinols sat most of the game and Deric Leiper missed most of the second half icing a turned ankle. “You lose your starting point guard a couple minutes into the game and he probably shouldn't have played,” McCann said, “we tried to test it out in warmups and he wasn't moving very well in the first few minutes so we made the decision to rest. I thought guys like Griffin stepped up and ran the show for us all night and played a great game, and then you've got Elliot. They're just rocksolid leaders and they're something I can count on.” McCann said Steven

Ellicottville’s Steven Rowland puts back a rebound over Pine Valley’s Zach Mansﬁeld.

Rowland can help the Eagles play off of the extra attention Bowen sees from defenses, like he did Tuesday night. “Steven's been showing he's capable all year long in practices and even some flashes in some games and I thought tonight he put it all together,” McCann said. “He was aggressive, he was rebounding and he was attacking the basket and that's tough when teams are going to kind of concentrate on Elliot in the post, it does open some things up for moving the ball and finding some other guys, another post player to find some open looks as well.” Zach Mansfield led Pine Valley (5-5, 2-1) with 18 points, hitting three threepointers. Trent Mihallo added 11 points and Robbie Clutter scored 10. Leading 13-10 midway through the first quarter, the Eagles took control for good with a 21-4 run through the first five

minutes of the second. “I thought our defensive intensity picked up a little bit,” McCann said. “We didn't give as many open looks, we rebounded a little bit better and we just sort of found a groove on defense.” Ellicottville (67) Leiper 1 0-0 3, Stuve 1 0-2 2, S.

Women’s Ski Clinic participants “improve as skiers, gain more conﬁdence, meet great gals to ski with, and most importantly, have lots of fun!” She recommends the clinic to “any gal who is at least an intermediate skier or better.” “I split everyone into ski groups according to their ability level, so even the experts, who might not feel like a typical ski school class will help them get better, receive personalized instruction,” Ballard explained. “Everyone can also demo new, well-tuned Elan women’s skis, so they have the right tool for the task. It’s the combination of good gear and good instruction that leads to a break-through in one’s skiing ability. I’ll also video analysis both days. Unless you can see yourself, you really don’t have a true clue about how you’re skiing.” This will be the sixth year Ballard has offered the clinic in Ellicottville. The ﬁrst year, she was invited by Holiday Valley’s Marketing Director Jane Eshbaugh and former Snowsports School Director Ron Kubicki. Impressed with the warm welcome she received, she’s made it an annual stop ever since. “Holiday Valley keeps inviting me back, and it’s very easy for me to say yes!” said Ballard. “The mountain rolls out the red carpet for the women who participate in the ‘Your Turn’ event. We have lots of fun! And it’s truly rewarding to help everyone improve their skiing. Some of the women come every year and some are new. Often the same local ski instructors work with me during the event. They are friends now, and this event is our annual reunion.” The clinic includes a continental breakfast each day, talks about ski equipment and proper

boot fitting, two lunches and one dinner, plenty of skiing with Ballard and HV Instructors, video analysis of each participant, demo equipment, door prizes and more. This year, everyone who participates in a ‘Your Turn’ event (not only at Holiday Valley but also at the other 11 ‘Your Turn’ events across the U.S.) will also be automatically entered in a drawing to win a free pair of Dalbello ski boots. As always, Ballard has accomplished a lot since her last visit to Ellicottville. “2017 was a memorable year for me,’ she said. “I have always wanted to try to win my age group on the FIS Masters Cup circuit (international masters circuit), and decided last year was my year to finally try. I juggled this with my women’s ski events around the U.S., so it was a big travel winter. After trips to ski race in Chile, Utah, and twice in Europe, I won the overall super G title for women. I believe I’m the first American woman to do this. It was such a thrill for me to hold that crystal globe!” Ballard also wrote second editions of her two books, Hiking the Adirondacks and Best Easy Day Hikes Adirondacks for FalconGuides. Hiking the Adirondacks is now in color with more hike and more photos. Last year, Ballard also wrote Ski Faster, and copies will be available for purchase at Holiday Valley during the clinic.

HoliMont Ladies Rule Opening Weekend of Excelsior Cup

By Caitlin Croft

U14 Athletes from the west side of the state traveled to Kissing Bridge and Holiday Valley for a Slalom and Giant Slalom, respectively. This was the first weekend of competition for this age group. To qualify for State Championships, each race is scored as three individual results: First Run, Second and Overall. To qualify for States, the athlete’s best five of 13 results are counted. For the articles, we report of the overall result, where an athlete must finish a complete race. HoliMont’s Mary Catherine Mangan and Madalyn Cummings once again found themselves dueling it out, finishing 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

Avoid Common Mistakes in Strength Training

By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

Are you one of the many people who feel you are working out consistently, but so far your muscles aren’t looking any more sculpted than when you started? If you’ve been putting in the work, but not seeing results, it’s likely that something is wrong with your workout—not your willpower. Avoid ﬁve common strength training mistakes with these tips from weight lifting guru Wayne Westcott, PhD, Prevention advisory board member and director of ﬁtness research at Quincy College in Massachusetts, and you’ll be a lot closer to achieving that lean, strong body you’re after. Mistake No. 1: You’re ditching the warm up. While it’s tempting to forgo a proper warm up, taking a few minutes for a quick walk or jog on the treadmill

will help you get more out of your strength training routine. “A warm up increases the temperature of your muscles and tendons, making them more elastic so you’re less likely to injure yourself,” says Westcott. You’ll burn a few extra calories too! Mistake No. 2: You’re using the wrong amount of weight. Too heavy, and you could injure yourself; too little and you’re wasting your time. When you’re new to strength training, start with 1 to 2 sets of 15 to 20 reps using a lighter weight (about 50 percent of your maximum lift, i.e., the amount of weight you can lift once). As you become stronger, graduate to 2 or 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps with heavier weight (60 to 75 percent of your max lift). Mistake No. 3: Your form is sloppy. Lifting too quickly and using momentum are two common culprits that can lead to injury and make your workout less effective. In fact, slower is better when it comes to weight lifting. “Moving slowly actually allows you to produce more muscle force, without putting extra stress on your joints. If you’re using inertia, the weight pretty much carries

itself, so you’re not getting as good of a workout,” says Westcott. (Weight lifting isn’t the only exercise where bad form can hurt you.) Mistake No. 4: Your routine is older than your favorite college sweatshirt. It’s easy to fall into a workout rut, doing the same few moves over and over. Swapping in a few new moves every few weeks will help you avoid plateaus. “Your muscles adapt to moves, and you no longer see the same gains in strength after a few weeks,” says Westcott. “Even changing up your workout slightly—say by swapping your tried-andtrue bench press with an incline press—will shock your muscles and speed results.” Mistake No. 5: You’re standing still between sets. If you normally rest between sets, you’re missing out on the calorieburn boost that’s found in adding mini cardio bursts, like a 2-5 minute jog on the treadmill or jumping rope. You’ll burn more calories, and you can cross off both your cardio and strength training in one 30- to 45-minute workout, says Westcott.

Obituary

Gary Parsons 1969-2018

SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — Gary Parsons, 48, died unexpectedly at his home in South Jordan, Utah, on Thursday Jan. 11, 2018. He was born on Aug. 18, 1969, in his father’s hometown, Corry, Pa. and grew up in Ellicottville, with his parents, John and Sue Parsons, and younger brother, Noble Parsons. He graduated from Ellicottville Central School in 1988 and from SUNY at Albany in 1993. Gary was a devoted, loyal and loving husband and father, often described as “one of a kind” by most. With his witty and funny personality and sense of humor, he was a person who could always be counted on. His life in Ellicottville was ﬁlled with his family and friends, many of whom gathered daily after school in the “back room” of his home on Jefferson Street and in the summer, riding bikes, going to the park and playing ball in the backyard late into the evening. Team sports were a passion of Gary’s while growing up as he focused on playing soccer, baseball and basketball and in college where he played baseball and rugby. As an adult he was an avid hiker/ mountain biker, working out at the gym daily. Gary always prioritized staying ﬁt and in shape, inspiring

many to do the same. After college, his childhood friend, Kenny Way, invited him to Phoenix, Ariz., for a visit, then a stay for two years. This led Gary to his professional life as an IT recruiter, working ﬁrst in Tulsa, Okla., and then in the Salt Lake City area, where he greatly enjoyed the outdoor life offered there. During trips to Ellicottville, Gary spent time with his family and his childhood friends, including one visit in 2004, when he met up with a childhood friend, Elke Mentley, a visit coordinated by her sister Meagan. They were engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2005, maintaining long-distance contact while Elke ﬁnished school in Seneca Falls. After her graduation in June 2006, they were married on Aug. 18, 2006, in a beautiful ceremony at St. John’s Episcopal Church in their hometown, where Gary had served as an altar boy in his youth. Family and friends gathered for an unforgettable party to celebrate their wedding, dancing and reminiscing while the rain poured down. They shared together the love of the outdoor life in Salt Lake City such

as skiing, hiking and just being outside, making new friends and remaining connected to their childhood friends, which was very important to Gary and Elke. In 2013, they started a new life as parents of a beautiful daughter Sawyer. Her arrival forever changed Gary. He embraced fatherhood and loved every second of being a great dad to their beloved daughter, and later to their son Chernet, a blessing who came into their lives in 2016. Gary and Elke were an amazing team raising their children, feeding off each other’s strengths. Gary happily and expertly coordinated celebrations for birthdays, presents for holidays and special events for his family, he loved them so much! The day before his death, he drove Sawyer to her new ballet class in which he had enrolled her. He was so proud of his family and the life that he and Elke had started together. Gary loved life; he adored his wife and kids; he was an amazing son, brother, uncle and friend! Gary will be loved and missed by all of the lives he touched. Gary is survived by his beloved wife, Elke Parsons; daughter, Sawyer Fenet; and son, Chernet Parsons; parents, Sue and John Parsons; and brother, Noble Parsons. To honor Gary’s life, family and friends will be gathering from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 20, 2018) at the Villaggio Restaurant in Ellicottville. (http://villaggioevl.com/). Also, there is also a memorial fund set up for Gary at gofundme.com/ memorial-for-gary-parsons.

Tom stated there is a problem with residents plowing snow across the roads. He said it is occurring more than in previous years. Tom stated that it is illegal. He also stated that plowing a road where a town truck has gone removes the sand that was put down. On Monday, Dec. 11, 2017 the highway department barricaded Trafﬁc Street due to a bad accident and personal vehicles trying to get people out. Town clerk: Read a letter of interest from Pearl Guerin in regards to one of the open BAR position. She read a letter from Brian Church, who is interested in the Planning Board Chairperson position.

Great Valley Seeking State Solution to Tax Issue By Rick Miller

Town of Great Valley ofﬁcials reached out late last week to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance looking for possible solutions to the sales tax error that has resulted in sharply higher county taxes for town taxpayers. Following the recommendation of its accountant, Berry & Berry CPA, the town board decided last year to apply 2018 sales taxes to reduce its town taxes instead of county taxes as had been the case. Great Valley was the last of four towns that still applied its sales taxes toward county taxes. Instead of using an estimate county ofﬁcials were developing for the county budget, about $490,000, Supervisor Daniel Brown said the town “woefully” underestimated the amount of local sales tax that would be available, using

about $75,000 to reduce the town tax levy. Meanwhile, the money was not available to reduce county taxes as had been done in the past — nor was most of it used to reduce the town taxes as had been anticipated. The result was an approximate $300 town and county tax increase on a property valued at $100,000. Some tax bills were $500 higher or more. On the advice of Town Attorney Peter Sorgi, the town board also agreed to seek special state legislation to allow the town to give rebates for the 2018 taxes. Brown said he left a message for a representative of state Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean, and plans to reach out to Assemblyman Joseph GIglio, R-Gowanda, to explain the situation. Brown said Jan. 11 he and Sorgi spoke with a representative of the state

Department of Taxation and Finance that morning. That person was going to alert ofﬁcials higher in the department to look into the town’s options. Brown told the Olean Times Herald on Jan. 11 that it is unlikely anything can be resolved prior to the Jan. 31, deadline to pay town and county taxes at local tax collectors. He apologized to taxpayers for the error at the town’s meeting on Jan. 8. On Jan. 11, he reported, “In two days, we haven’t gotten very far, but we’re still working on it.” The Great Valley Town Board has scheduled a special meeting Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall to update residents on the tax issue. What may happen next year at budget time, is that the Great Valley Town Board could apply the property tax toward the town and county tax rate.

to order at 6:09 p.m. by Supervisor Ann Rugg. Present were councilmen Sid Barber, Mike Poch, William Spors and Highway Superintendent Tom Benz. Councilman Dave Forster was excused. Guests present were Bob Bowen and Angela Sherman. Hwy: Discussion took place regarding purchase of a new truck vs. roller. Tom told the board there was damage done on the 2012 10 Wheeler truck. The outside of the Highway Shop addition is completed except for the door. The concrete is poured and the insulation is in. A motion was made by Mike Poch and seconded by Sid Barber to open the public hearing on the 2017-2018 fire protection contract. Barber, Poch, Spors and Rugg were in favor. Motion carried. There was no public comment. A motion was made by Bill Spors and seconded by Sid Barber to close the public hearing on the 2017-2018 fire protection contract. Barber, Poch, Spors and Rugg were in favor. Motion carried. A motion was made by Mike Poch and seconded by Bill Spors to authorize Supervisor Ann Rugg to sign the fire protection district contract for 2018 as presented. All were in favor. Motion carried. Town Clerk: Deanna read letters of interest to the board from: Charles Herr 111, Tammie Herr and Annemarie McCabe for the open BAR open positions. She told the board that tax collection started early this year due to the executive order signed by Governor Cuomo. Ann thanked Mike Poch for his years of service on the town board. She reported on the chips funds and third quarter sales tax. She will be having a meeting with Armstrong. A motion was made by Mike Poch and seconded by Bill Spors to adjourn at 7:11 p.m. Barber, Poch, Spors and Rugg were in favor. Motion carried. Respectfully Submitted, Deanna Bowen, Town Clerk

Eagles and Falcons Season Long Training December 16 - March 18 Eagles and Falcons meet every weekend beginning Saturday, Dec. 16, 2017 through Sunday, March 18, 2018. Eagles is a program geared toward skiers ages 11-13 who are undecided or do not wish to compete on the Holiday Valley Race, Freestyle or Snowboard Teams. The Eagles will continue to grow and improve in their skiing skills and be part of the “mountain experience”. During the season, Eagles may be exposed to alpine racing, terrain park features, bumps/steeps/powder using all terrain in all conditions all the time. The goal is to give Eagles the skills to ski all situations at any mountain they may venture to. Falcons is for teens ages 14-18 who are accomplished noncompetitive skiers. Falcons enjoy the social aspects of the resort while being coached in skiing at the highest levels. Fun and friendships are developed on and off the slopes through planned social events. Eagles and Falcons learn and live the safety Responsibility Code and all the aspects of the “mountain adventure”. They may have a day of cross-country/ telemark skiing. They may ski a day with any of Holiday Valley’s successful competitive teams to see if they would like to join. They may experience a day in the Life of a Snowmaker or Groomer. Whatever the focus for the day, the goal is safety awareness at all times and fun on the mountain, with a large dose of learning, camaraderie and smiles thrown in. The programs are led by Jennifer Courtney, who brings 25 years of experience in working with young people as a ski teacher/coach at Holiday Valley.

Both Dobbins and Fitzpatrick credit Holiday Valley with inﬂuencing their sense of family and the way they believe in a healthy environment and lifestyle. As new Board members they hope to learn more about the leadership of Holiday Valley and grow the future by building on the successes of the past.

The Song of Ellicottville:

Remembering Charles Coolidge By Breanna E. Coolidge

My grandfather, Charles R. Coolidge, previous Mayor of Ellicottville, NY and friend to many, was a man of tremendous accomplishment and an incredible inspiration to all. Some knew him as Neighbor, some as Mr. Coolidge, some as Husband, and some as Dad. No matter how it was that you knew him, you were just grateful that you did. Whether he was sitting in his driveway on a beautiful day listening to Conway Twitty or leading a board meeting working to improve some aspect of village life, he always did everything full on, never took anything for granted and truly made the absolute most of his life. Before he became the man who transformed a little one horse town into an East Coast skiing destination, he was just a small town boy on Rockwell Avenue in Ellicottville, NY, his lifelong home. As a child, he grew up here, only it was not full of ski shops and attractions, but rather dirt roads and old barns. Hunting in the mountains and ﬁshing in the creeks with his father, Michael, sparked his enduring love for wildlife and the breathtaking nature that surrounded him. From a young age, he was an avid outdoorsman, but was taught by his mother, Madeline, to always respect and take care of Mother Nature and all of her creatures. He and his brothers and sisters would play down by the creek from dawn until dusk and run home when supper was ready. Jesus was his savior and he passionately carried his faith with him throughout his 70 years on earth. You could say that life back then was simple and some may even refer to it as “the good old days” but it was also rugged and down right hard. You know the old saying, “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps?” Well, my grandfather was a direct byproduct of that mentality. Come eighth grade, he sacriﬁced his education as a youth to start working to help support his family. He took college courses later on in life, but he gave up a lot at a very young age for the wellbeing of his family. At only 13 years old, he was enlightened by the true value of back breaking work by digging ditches and graves, working as a farm hand, volunteering for the Ellicottville Fire

Department and working hard at the local saw mill for pocket change. He became a laborer for the county in the mid1960s, where he plowed the snow from our roads in the winter and shoveled black top to fix them in the summer. Just when he thought that his life was going to be an endless loop of drudgery, sweat and blisters, he saw a beam of light when he found his soulmate, his sweetheart, my Nana, Sharon. He proposed to her after only a few short months of knowing each other and said “I do” at only 18 years old on Dec. 4, 1965. About a year or so later, my grandmother gave birth to their first born son, Chuck, followed by my father, Bill, and eventually their youngest son, Rob. My grandfather hustled through grueling 80hour work weeks while dedicating himself as a loving father, husband, member and usher of Holy Name of Mary RC Church in Ellicottville and continuing his service as a lifelong member of the Ellicottville Volunteer Fire Department. As if this was not enough for one man to handle, my grandfather was then promoted to Road Section Supervisor for Cattaraugus County DPW. It was after this promotion that his career took flight and the legacy that he left behind had begun. As he worked to improve, rebuild and keep his community safe, he embarked on a journey dedicating many hours of his time to learning about and listening to the people of Ellicottville. In no time at all, he discovered his niche for leadership and started to take action not only in his hometown, but in the firematics world as well. My grandfather was a zealous supporter of firefighting and dedicated most of his life to firematic services. The FASNY Firemen’s Home on the Hudson became a frequent travel destination for him and my grandmother as he attended meetings and conferences for 10 years as a FASNY board member. In addition, he was a past President of the Southwestern Firemen’s Association all while maintaining dedicated service to his hometown volunteer fire department. It was by this time that he had started to serve as a Trustee on the Village Board of Ellicottville and about a year later, what we would consider to be his

A Family Run Business in the Heart of the Enchanted Mountains.

All-Season Propane Delivery greatest accomplishment took place when he won the mayoral election. Charles R. Coolidge, my grandfather, was the longest sitting mayor of Ellicottville, NY and devoted 18 years of his life to shaping and nurturing our village into a tourist destination, but most importantly, always striving to maintain a small town, homey feeling for its locals. His Wastewater Treatment Plant project is the reason why we have clean drinking water today and he rebuilt our infrastructure all while keeping his promise to never raise taxes throughout his years in ofﬁce. Chock full of accomplishments, leadership and responsibilities, he never put anything above what was most important to him: his family and the Lord. His wife of exactly 52 years and one month, his three sons, and his 11 grandchildren were the apple of his eye. He was absolutely a good, wholesome, honest, loyal, salt of the earth, made in America man’s man with a heart of pure gold. You always knew where you stood with him in a world full of phonies and fakes and for this, he will always be respected. My grandfather, Charles R. Coolidge, left a legacy for us to uphold. He always put others before himself and dedicated his life to community service and family. Of all the memories, laughter, and priceless times that I had with my grandpa, one thing resonates with me most. From the day I was born up until the day he went to be with God, he always said, “Breanna, you make my heart sing, do you know that?” I do not know if he knows it, but I am almost certain that he made everyone’s heart sing, especially mine, my family’s and the heart of Ellicottville, NY. He will always be remembered as the mayor who created a melody in our hearts and that song will play on forever. I love you old man, go rest high on your mountain, until we meet again.
