November at Holiday Valley This time of year is all about festive events and the anticipation of the holiday and ski seasons.

This weekend, the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC) will once again assemble the region’s talented fine artists and artisans for the Winter Arts Festival on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Holiday Valley Main Lodge.

Visitors will find original handmade gifts for their holiday shopping list from among the many booths displaying paintings, prints, photographs, pottery, jewelry, baskets, wood carving and fiber arts. In addition to giving your friends and family one-of-a-kind gifts, you’ll be supporting local artists and artisans. Don’t miss out on your chance to find unique holiday gifts for everyone on your list!

See page 9 for more info.

If you’d rather spend your time in the lodge fastening up your ski boots or sipping on hot chocolate between runs, your wait is almost over. Holiday Valley’s tentative opening day is scheduled for the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, Nov. 24. With the dropping temps, snowmaking began late last week and it’s beginning to look a lot like ski and snowboard season!

Get ready to hit the slopes and enjoy endless winter fun and over $3 million in improvements, including an automated snowmaking system, a Magic Carpet lift in the beginner’s area, new trails, and an all-new Cindy’s Warming Hut and Mistletoe Lean To. Check out www.holidayvalley. com for the latest updates and snow reports.

Kick off the Holiday Season at Christmas in Ellicottville One of the best ways to describe the downtown of Ellicottville has been as something Norman Rockwell would have conjured up. The New York Times says it is like being “transported to a scene from an old black and white Christmas movie.” As we start thinking of the Jolly Old Elf himself, why not come down to see what the fuss is all about during the annual Christmas in Ellicottville weekend?

The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce brings you a

weekend full of holiday primer events to get even the most Grinchy heart growing. From noon on Friday, Nov. 24 to the last horse-drawn carriage ride on Sunday, the weekend is sure to have kids of all ages in the holiday spirit.

“Christmas is a time we all look forward to,” Barb Pump, Events Manager for the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, said. “We get to spend time with our families and savor each and every memory that we create. Christmas in

Gado Gado Celebrates 20 Years in EVL

By Alicia Dziak

First opened in 1997 by Ellicottville native and ECS graduate Suzanne Roberts, Gado Gado has become a staple in the community. Over the years, Ellicottville has changed, the store has changed, and Roberts moved hundreds of miles away to Chicago, but one thing has remained the same— Gado Gado still offers a unique selection of items you can’t find just anywhere.

Since 1997, Roberts has seen Ellicottville evolve. “As a destination point, it seems to get busier every year,” she said of her hometown. “Years ago, there was a very definitive slow See Gado Gado page 4

Dekdebruns: Not Just a Snowsports Shop Anymore

There was something different about 18 Washington Street this past summer; there were racks of rompers, bathing suits and sun dresses out front. This is the second summer Dekdebruns Snow

New Village/Town Engineer Appointed

By Caitlin Croft

After months of hard work and consideration between the Village Board (VB) and Town Board, Niles Pierson has been appointed the new Village/ Town Engineer.

In Good News, the Sales Tax Distribution of $97,555.50 was received.

The Village Planner Report consisted of proposed changes to the 2012 Zoning Code. The Village Planning Board has

been asked to recommend if this version meets the intent of the amendments they recommended to the VB in 2016. The VB has requested the Village Planning Board go ahead and review.

In the Engineer’s Report regarding the Lagoon Sludge Removal Project, there is the recommendation to bid out the project in early 2018 to receive competitive pricing. The project/plan schematic will be

Catt Co. Celebrates Small Business Saturday

By Mary Heyl

Celebrate small businesses in your community next weekend on Small Business Saturday!

Join millions of shoppers across the country who are choosing to shop local during the busiest shopping weekend of the year on this nationally recognized day. You’ll want to get an early start, as there are several communities throughout Cattaraugus County that are gearing up for this exciting day!

The Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce is holding its second strOlean on Saturday, Nov. 25 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.! In August, GOACC held its first ever strOlean when many business owners set up in downtown Olean for a full day of shopping, food, music, fine arts, classic cars and more. The event was a huge success, with more than 70 organizations selling their wares or organizing an event at their booth. Small Business Saturday is GOACC’s opportunity to host a winter strOlean that includes the retail establishments on Union Street and its side streets.

Brick and mortar businesses are invited to host an event outside their store (sales table, information table, etc.) and restaurants are invited to vend outside their business. The day also includes a Pop-up Market, in which local artisans, crafters, and those involved with catalogue/home party businesses can set up a booth.

Be sure to bring your appetite!

In addition to the restaurants on Union Street, strOlean invites other food vendors to bring their best! Who knows? You just might be able to enjoy some chestnuts roasting on an open fire!

In addition to booths on North Union Street, there will also be booth space inside the Olean Center Mall. Meme Yanetsko, COO of GOACC, encourages visitors to check out the Chamber’s website at www.oleanny.com before the event: “We encourage people to download our strOlean program, which will be online—it will indicate

Beer and Wine Fest by Aubrie Johnson, Ellicottville Times

the specials and details of participants.”

Erica Dreher, GOACC Membership Outreach Associate, is very excited about this new event. “We want everyone to visit and shop our community with the small businesses that make it special. strOlean and Small Business Saturday celebrate and help you discover small businesses.”

For more information, contact GOACC at (716)372-4433 or email events@oleanny.com.

Take a short drive to the city of Salamanca, where there are several unique local businesses to begin your holiday shopping. Hampshire Mills, located at 890 Broad Street, has been participating in Small Business Saturday since it began in 2010. Owner Jenna Zaprowski said, “I think it’s a great program, and we’ve been doing it since it started. People do come out and support small businesses, and they definitely support us!” Hampshire Mills has a wide selection of quality clothing, footwear, gifts, toys and so much more. From Columbia to Woolrich to Ruby Road Sportswear, there’s something for everyone, and on Small Business Saturday, all accessories are all 20 percent off, including socks, hats, gloves, jewelry, goggles, scarves and belts. Hampshire Mills will be open special

hours from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Small Business Saturday.

Looking for a more specific gift that may be difficult to find? You just might be able to find it at the Salamanca Mall Antiques at 100 Main Street. Shop hundreds of vendor booths for that unique collectible or one-of-a-kind piece. Gift certificates are also available. The Salamanca Mall Antiques is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Right across the street, Mongillo Jewelers, at 85 Main Street, has been serving the community for over 50 years.

This multi-generational family business can help you with your holiday shopping, and there’s no better time to get started than Small Business Saturday. Shop their great selection of fine jewelry, watches and estate jewelry.

Visit Mongillo’s from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

For a full listing and map of area businesses that are participating in Small Business Saturday, visit https://www. americanexpress.com/us/smallbusiness/shop-small/. If you are a business owner, be sure to visit the website for your free downloadable Shop Small materials to promote your business on this special day.

Tired of hauling out the same recipes every year? If so, try something new. This Bavarian Pretzel Stuffing features lots of fresh veggies plus soft pretzel pieces and can easily be made as a vegetarian side dish. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 stick of butter. Add 1 cup each of chopped celery and chopped onion and saute for 10 to 15 minutes or until the onions begin to brown.

While the veggies are cooking, cut the pretzels (1 13oz package heated according to package directions without salt) into 1-inch pieces and place them in a large bowl.

Add 3 cups of herb-seasoned cubed stuffing, 4 cooked sausage patties (heated and coarsely crumbled), 1 cup of thawed and chopped broccoli florets, sautéed veggies and 3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth (warmed). Mix until well combined. Spoon the stuffing into a baking dish and cover.

Bake for 30 minutes; then remove the cover and bake 15 to 20 minutes or until heated through.

For an easy dessert and a fun kids activity (perhaps while they’re watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade!), try Peanut Butter Cup Pilgrim Hats! Place 12 or more chocolate-striped shortbread cookies (chocolate side face up) on a wax paper lined tray. Unwrap a dozen or

more mini peanut butter cups.

Use a generous dab of colored icing (whatever color you’d like the “ribbon” on the hat to be), and place an upside down peanut butter cup on the center of the cookie so that the icing is visible around the candy.

Cut a small wedge of a gold or orange gumdrop and place it next to the peanut butter cup in the icing to serve as the buckle on the hat. Slide the tray full of pilgrim hats into the fridge and let harden—eat and enjoy!

Before the guests arrive, set the table with some easy and festive place cards that they will probably want to take home. For a simple, elegant look, gather some large fallen leaves that aren’t too brittle.

Spray them with gold paint and allow to dry. Use a paint pen or permanent marker to write each guest’s name on a leaf and place on their plate at the table.

For another easy place card idea, place a mini pumpkin on or beside each guest’s plate.

Go with the natural look or paint the pumpkins white or gold, depending on your décor.

Because the round pumpkin is a difficult surface to write on, write or type each guest’s name on a small card and pin it to the mini pumpkin or cut a slit in the stem and place it there!

Of course, don’t forget to decorate the kids’ table— they can help! Cut a piece of burlap the length of the table. Create an autumn color palette with different washable acrylic paints. Let the kids use brushes or their fingers to decorate the runner with polka dots or repurpose a few old cookie cutters (turkey shaped, pumpkin shaped, or leaf shaped) and let the kids use them as stencils.

Lastly, celebrate the true meaning of the season by leaving a small card (an index card) next to each guest’s plate.

Invite them to write down the date and a few things they are thankful for this year. They can share their ideas aloud or simply take the card home as a reminder of Thanksgiving 2017 and the things they appreciated most that year.

The highlight, of course, is the Pie Auction and the intention is to continue the way Bob wanted it. We have some great woodworkers who have volunteered to create pie boxes and special furniture McCarthy-like and, believe it or not, a number of Bob’s creations will be auctioned off as well.

The spirit of the season is unmatched in Ellicottville, and Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas is a perfect opportunity to share it with friends. Remember to mark your calendar for Friday, Dec. 1 at 6 p.m. at EBC to share the spirit with friends to help give back to families in the community.

season, and over the years, I’ve noticed an increase in traffic year-round.”

When it first opened, Gado Gado shared a space with Nature’s Remedy. These days, they still share a wall, but occupy separate store fronts.

“We’ve always been with them and have a great relationship,” Roberts said. “There’s a lot of positive energy between us.”

Gado Gado went from selling mostly goods from Indonesia in the early days, to a current product line that is more focused on women’s clothing and accessories, in addition to fair trade essential oils, perfumes, incense, candles, and other gift items.

“We’ve also developed as an online business and ship orders all over the world,” Roberts explained.

Roberts continues to place emphasis on giving back.

“It’s very important to me to give back to Ellicottville and Cattaraugus County, and to regularly support various organizations,” she said.

Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas 2017

“Bob McCarthy’s” Irish Christmas, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ellicottville, continues this year at Ellicottville Brewing Company.

The Irish Christmas tradition continues in Bob’s honor as he touched so many in Ellicottville with his spirit and generosity.

Although it can never be the same with his passing, Bob’s dedication to this event inspires us to continue with his magic.

It was McCarthy who said, “I love doing Irish Christmas which is a night of Irish magic.

I don’t know how the magic gets there, but it just does.

That’s the beauty of it.”

For 12 years, the Irish Christmas fundraiser has become an event to remember, and one that locals and weekenders alike don’t miss.

McCarthy’s wagon will be parked outside of EBC starting around 7 a.m., where new toys and unwrapped gifts are collected for Santa’s Workshop and the Sheriffs Santa Program, which provides gifts to make Christmas a little special for less fortunate families Again this year, a number of restaurants will serve a special Irish dish at a reasonable price or you can order from the great EBC menu.

about 12 years ago, and made the decision to keep the store open. “When you own a business, it becomes like another child, and I just wasn’t ready to lose my store,” she said, making note of how hard she worked to get it open.

While Roberts admits it can be a challenge, she still owns a house in Ellicottville and has family in the area, which makes it easier to return on a regular basis.

What helps keeps the store

up and running in her absence is the staff, on average about seven women who work in the store. “The women range in age from 18 to 60 years old,” Roberts said. “Having this diversity of staff is fantastic because everyone has something different to offer. It also fits with my clientele, which includes a very wide range of ages and demographics.”

Roberts attributes her success to her wonderful support system. “I could never do this without my mother, sisters, family and the amazing women that work for me,” she said. “This anniversary is more about them than it is about me.”

What Roberts might be looking forward to most about the 20th anniversary party is reuniting with employees past and present. “Women I have worked with over the past two decades and other friends will be coming in from Colorado, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and it’ll be a blend of women who work for me now and others from over the years,” she said. “It’s the perfect way for us to come together.”

The celebration she is referring to is Gado Gado’s 20th anniversary party on Saturday, Nov. 18. The event is a cocktail party planned from 6 to 8 p.m. at the store at 26 Monroe Street, and is open to all. In addition to drinks and hors d’oeuvres, Gado Gado will be offering specials and giveaways throughout the evening.

“We welcome everyone, whether you’re a regular customer or not,” Roberts noted. “It’s a party and the door’s wide open!”

shop. Yes, we will always have our core winter product lines and the same excellent service, but it has been great to see this bridge of old and new.”

This year, the Apex ski boot line has two new products for men and women each, and due to gaining popularity, they are about $100 less this year. Apex Ski Boots are a unique two-part system that consists of an Open Chassis and Walkable Boot.

“It is essentially a snowboard boot with a ski chassis that stays right in your binding and the warmest ski boot on the market Dekdebrun said. DSS is proud to have been the very first dealer of Apex Ski Boots.

To get that snug as a bug feel they have custom boot fitters to keep your feet happy and warm skiing.

There is an array of fabulous winter wear and not just for the women! There is a selection of men’s button downs and casual pants. Of course, there is also all the gear you need to hit the slopes in style for both men and women.

Talking with Ciara Peters, the Soft Goods Manager, we discussed everything from what they have available to where she wants to see the retail go in Ellicottville. “Greg has given me a lot of choice in what we carry for the women’s wear,” she said. Ciara has some great taste because they had a whole bunch of great pieces, along with the classic Ellicottville ski tees that look great with any pair of skinnies and a winter parka for hitting the town.

Speaking of winter parkas, they carry Parajumper, which is probably the most fabulous parka I have laid my eyes on.

Now, it will cost a bit more than the average jacket, but every detail is impeccable, and it is tailored to perfection.

Obviously, I tried it on and I don’t think you would ever get cold in this parka. “We prefer quality over quantity,” Ciara told me and that is clear.

Dekdebruns is hosting the premier of This is Home: A Film by the Faction Collective at Finnerty’s Tap Room on Dec. 2, 2017. This is a free event starting at 6 p.m. and the movie will be shown 8 p.m.

Great Valley Town Board to Hold Meeting for Insurance Provider Decision

By Kellen M. Quigley

The Great Valley Town Board has scheduled a special meeting for Monday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. for reviewing applications for the town’s new insurance carrier.

At Monday’s meeting, Ned Fenton III of Ned Fenton Insurance, of Salamanca, presented to the board what plans his company could offer during an executive session.

Town Supervisor Dan Brown said the town is looking at a couple other providers and didn’t want to share any numbers as of yet.

In a report from the assessor’s office, Brown said they are planning on re-collecting photos of each property, starting with residential parcels and moving onto other types of property while weather permits.

Brown said aerial images of parcels 10 acres or greater

will be placed in the town’s imagery inventory to assist in assessments.

The town will soon receive renewal paperwork for each property that has an exemption that requires yearly renewal.

This includes: enhanced star, agriculture assessments and senior citizen exemptions.

Brown said the paperwork is scheduled to be sent out in December. The assessor will be in the Great Valley Town Hall on Tuesdays from 4 to 7 p.m.

Building Code Enforcement Officer Richard Rinko said his office issued two permits in the past month, one for a manufactured house for the trailer park and another for the volunteer fire company to build a pavilion in the campgrounds.

Highway Superintendent Jack Harrington said his department got a new truck on Nov. 8. He said the department has been busy cleaning up and

getting ready for winter.

In other news, Brown said he hasn’t heard anything back regarding monitoring the old town dump, but imagines that will be coming closer to spring time.

Two weeks ago, Brown said he met with the engineers performing a survey of the town gravel pit. He said most of their data will be collected over the course of one or two days. They would then submit an application together to go to the DEC to extend the life of the gravel pit.

Brown said he and Harrington have to do some work on the dog kennels in order to pass the USDA inspection.

The next meeting of the Great Valley Town Board will be Monday, Nov. 27 at 7 p.m. at the town hall.

Public House of Ellicottville Sign Approved

By Caitlin Croft

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Village Planning Board (VPB) opened with a motion to approve the September 2017 minutes. There was a second and they were approved.

The first item on the agenda was the application for SP2017-13, an awning sign to be placed over the door at 8 Washington Street. This is for the Law Office of John C. Nelson. It will be 5’ x 3.5’ square feet and 6.5’ above the step. It will be dome-shaped with lettering on the front not to exceed 8”. There will be two colors and it will be made of canvas. All conditions have been met and there is no public hearing necessary just the application. The canopy will keep in style with aesthetic of the building. There was a motion to grant the sign permit for the awning with the given conditions: the light under the awning will point downward and the canvas will not be translucent. There was a second and the permit was approved.

Next, was the wall sign for

PB-2017-12 to be on the façade of 24 Monroe Street, the new Public House of Ellicottville.

There were a few concerns with the new sign and during the work session this month, what the VPB asked for was changed. The current piece of metal signage on the building will be repurposed with vinyl lettering “Public House.” It will use the black metal as a border. There was a motion to approve with the condition that all applicable standards will be met; there was a second and the wall sign was approved.

In new business, there was discussion on the application for a Special Use Permit for PB-2017-13, an ATM at 38 Washington Street. This is a Special Permit for an accessory use of a walk-up ATM. It will have the footprint of an ATM Kiosk. The applicant was not in attendance to speak about the Permit Application. For the signage, it will only have “ATM” at the top of the kiosk.

Any further signage will be monitored and a decision on what permits will be needed will be handled by the Code

Enforcement Officer. This is a Type 2 Action under the State Environmental Quality Review. There was a motion to set a Public Hearing for Dec. 12 at 5:30 p.m. with the following conditions: All fees are paid, and a survey is produced along with a copy of the approved site plan.

There is question if it takes up a parking spot. There was a second to the motion and the Public Hearing was set.

Last, there was a Zoning Amendment Update. There had come into question what zoning laws had been filed with the state. The Village Planner is now aware of this and has a starting point.

There are questions regarding amendments such as, reduction in maximum heights, maximums on accessory buildings and floor to area ratio and the land use table.

The Village Board has asked the Planning Board to handle and draft proposed changes.

The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be held at the Village Hall at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 12, 2017.

Great Valley Bicentennial Calendar Now Available The Great Valley Bicentennial Calendar, featuring historic pictures of Great Valley, is now available.

The historical 17-month calendar contains 45 pictures and sells for $15, according to Marilyn Eddy Siperek, town historian who is helping to spearhead the celebration.

“They are the perfect Christmas gift,” she said.

The calendars are available at Hall’s Produce, Katy’s Fly-In Restaurant and The Berry Patch in Great Valley, Ellicottville Pharmacy and AmeriCan Store in Ellicottville, Humphrey Fire Department and the Great Valley Baptist Church and Great Valley United Methodist Church.

Profits are going to the Great Valley Fire Department Auxiliary to offset costs of prizes and bicentennial expenses.

The Great Valley Bicentennial will see the return of Old Home Days July 20-22.

“Old Home Days was a Great Valley tradition for decades and we are happy to offer this nostalgic event,” Siperek said.

On Friday night, July 20, a town history event will be held, the historian said.

On July 21, the Great Valley Fire Department will sponsor the Old Home Days Bicentennial Parade, a street

dance and fireworks.

They will also host a Family Fair featuring a bounce house, dunk tank, food vendors, and more.

The Great Valley Volunteer Fire Company Auxiliary will sponsor a variety of contests and events during this weekend.

To round out Old Home Days on July 22, will feature “Farming Then and Now” at Snow Brook Farms, 5346 Snow Brook Road in Great Valley. Hosted by Dan and Marcy Brown and the Jim Brennan family, it will feature a display of old and antique farm equipment, implements and tools. Tours of Snow Brook Farms’ robotic milking operation will also be available.

Dan Brown is the Great Valley supervisor.

“We need volunteers and sponsors for Bicentennial events,” Siperek said.

Volunteers can sign up to help with one event or more.

One area where volunteers

are needed is a Veterans Display including a list of veterans from the town of Great Valley, uniforms and other military items. “We have a large space for the display,” Siperek said. “This would be hands on work.”

The Bicentennial Committee is also looking for sponsors to fund or partially fund expenses relating to an event. “We need sponsors to offset the cost of a bus for the Historic Tours of Great Valley and Kill Buck,” Siperek said. “We also need sponsors for the Great Gatsby party that will occur in May.” Sponsors for these events could provide financial assistance or provision of services or goods. Call Siperek at 945-3161 if you are interested in volunteering or donating.

Vet Talks Pets: Thanksgiving Safety for Your Pets

By Sheila Fitzpatrick, DVM

Thanksgiving is a fabulous, food- fille” holiday for families, but not necessarily the best holiday for your pet!

As you are preparing the most delicious meal of the year in your kitchen, while the rest of the family is enjoying football and a relaxing day off, your pet may be contemplating just what table scraps he/she may be able to sneak off the table, scrape up off the floor or even get from the sympathetic owner! It has been found in a study by PET MD, that 56 percent of owners are likely to give their pet something from their Thanksgiving Feast.

Knowing this, what is safe and not safe for your pet to ingest at Thanksgiving?

Bones- if not properly chewed, bones can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, and intestinal blockage in your pet!

So please be sure to keep the bones out of your pet’s reach and dispose of them properly in a safely closed container. Other Thanksgiving concerns include: 1. Raw or undercooked turkey- raw or uncooked meat can carry dangerous bacterias that can cause severe gastric upset, leading to vomiting, bloody diarrhea and severe dehydration. If you are so tempted to give your pet turkey, be sure it is cooked thoroughly and is without any fat or skin, which also can lead to gastric upset, including pancreatitis in a pet.

2. Alcholol- while we all enjoy our beer in front of the game or our glass of white wine with dinner, our pets should not! Alcohol can lead to fever, rapid heartbeat, liver damage and even seizures.

Again, keep your glasses and bottles out of reach of your pet to avoid any potential exposure.

3. Grapes and raisinsThough tasty in our fruit salads, just one grape can be toxic to a dog. Grapes and raisins both cause life threatening kidney failure, so again, keep your pet away!

4. Onions and garlic- These can flavor to our delicious

meal, but onions and garlic are toxic to dogs, causing destruction of red blood cells leading to anemia.

5. Nutmeg- This can cause central nervous problems and even seizures in your pet. A must to avoid!

6. Mushrooms- These fungi can be healthy for you, but not for your pet! Ingestion of mushrooms can cause severe vomiting, seizures, and even death.

Knowing all this, what is safe for your pet?

1. Bread/rolls- Without butter and in small volumes, bread is just fine for your pet to ingest.

2. Green beans- Often used for pets dieting, green beans can be a tasty treat and filling for your pet 3. Lean, cooked turkeyAgain, in moderation, without bones , fat or skin, turkey can be a good source of protein.

4. Sweet potatoes , mashed potatoes and pumpkin are safe for your pet, once agai,n in moderation!

5. Cranberry sauce- In small volumes, this tasty treat can also be a part of your pet’s Thanksgiving feast but be careful of large volumes, due to the sugar content.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and remember, your pet can enjoy this holiday too as long as you keep these tips in mind! Happy Holidays and be safe!

Health & Fitness

Never Too Late to Get Fit

type I have ever enjoyed was swimming. I was never a team sport person or a fitness nut. I was worried about my diminishing strength. I had constant pain in my right knee and both of my elbows throbbed. I couldn’t pick up a full Brita pitcher with one hand and I was using my arms to stand up from the couch, I blamed the springs but it was really my lack of strength.

Kim did a fitness assessment and I’m sure she thought, “this chick is a mess”. I couldn’t get up off the floor gracefully.

I could barely do a pushup standing with my hands on a counter. But as bad as I was, Hi, I’m Kim’s ghostwriter Kim was willing to work with this week. I just passed a major me. We started slowly and she milestone birthday that I don’t always took into account my want to talk about and I have bad knee. I still don’t do any MUSCLES! I’m in the best jumping stuff. physical shape of my adult life I recall swearing about and it’s all thanks to exercise certain exercises and honestly with Kim. calling Kim some not very nice Almost three years ago, names while she had me doing my husband suggested that I chest flies with baby weights. try personal training at Core At the end of a session, we Performance. I have always stretch and I complained about considered exercise to be a the child’s pose. Kim said four-letter word and the only nobody dislikes that move—

well, nobody had as much belly in the way as I did. I used to dread walking to her studio and I literally dragged myself the ½ block home after a session.

I’ve been at it for 34 months now, three days a week for 30 minutes. I can do chest flies now with 15-pound weights.

My bat wing arms are no longer flapping, I can actually see muscle in my arms and I look forward to our sessions.

I still don’t love exercise, but I wish I had started this at 37 or 47 rather than waiting until 57 to get fit. The bottom line is that it is never too late to start. I don’t see one of those “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” beepers in my future because I can get up now, gracefully.

My newfound strength has helped all my aches and pains, the elbows don’t hurt at all and although I still don’t fully trust my knee, it really doesn’t hurt anymore. My life has improved and so has my skiing, and it’s all thanks to lifting those #@$#&$% weights at Core Performance with Kim. It really is never to late to get fit.

Well, it’s that time of year.

Alarm goes of at 4:15 a.m.— not that it matters because you were awake all night with heavy anticipation of what the morning might bring. Nope, I’m not referring to Christmas, but to the other “holiday” that many western New Yorkers can’t wait for—opening day of regular season for big game.

This Saturday, Nov. 18 marks the start of gun season for deer.

Many hunters plan for this day all year, whether it’s planting food plots, setting up cameras to follow deer activity, staying sharp with your aim with target practice, or putting up tree stands and ground blinds.

This time of year is much more than just hiding out in the woods for this hunter; it’s about camaraderie. Every hunter has their own tradition. For me, my two friends leave the city life and move in with my family for the weekend. We stay up late talking about all the deer that will be hanging out by us, have a big breakfast, and head out to

Beer and Wine Fest by Aubrie Johnson, Ellicottville Times

our spots before sunrise. There is just something about sitting deep in the woods before the sun comes up. Everything is still, except for maybe an owl saying goodnight to his friend or a coyote signing off for the nigh.t As soon as it’s light, that’s when the buck of a lifetime shows his head— well, not really, but that’s the thought that keeps us coming back. Just like that one good hole of golf that makes you think, “Yeah, I could be good at this game if I played more.” Many days, no deer will be seen; that doesn’t mean the day was a waste though. In my days of sitting in tree stands, I’ve seen beavers, raccoons, minks and bear. And, of course, there are the deer that stop by for a second, while you’re sipping your coffee or crunching on trail mix, just to prove to you that they do exist.

Some hunters have traditions that were rooted generations ago. A great friend of mine was lucky enough to marry into a hunting family and slipped seamlessly into tradition. For Tim Smith, a chiropractor

in Derby, hunting camp is Allegany State Park. It’s here that three generations gather for 10 days. I was lucky enough to be “adopted” into this camp and I get down there as many days as I can. The family gathers here from WNY, the Andirodacks , and even as far south as the Carolinas. It’s really special to gather around campfires, have a few drinks and relive all the deer that were harvested or almost. Of course, most are lies, but that’s what makes it special.

Whatever your tradition is, I hope you have a safe and fulfilling deer season. As my opening weekend house guest Ryan says, “ a bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work”. Whatever your plans are this deer season, embrace this time of year, tell one more story and make one more memory—because the off season feels like an eternity, my friend.

Gobble for Groceries This Thanksgiving

By Alicia Dziak

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for everything you have, and also a time to give back to those who might not have as much.

In Springville, a great way to give back on Thanksgiving morning is Gobble for Groceries, a 5K and fun walk to benefit the Trading Post.

Located at 38 Franklin Street in Springville, the Trading Post provides meals or food items to over 40,000 people a year. Gobble for Groceries helps the cause by asking for monetary donations to support the food pantry instead of a traditional race entry fee.

“With every dollar we get, we can buy $7 of food,” explained Christine Greene, who chairs the event with Rick Manzone and Joe Wolniewicz.

If people cannot provide a monetary donation, they can also “pay” with a bag of groceries, which should be staples like peanut butter, spaghetti sauce and cereal.

The fun, informal race is not chip-timed. The route has been tweaked slightly from last year’s, but still begins and ends at the Trading Post, right in the heart of town. The course splits for the

5K and the 2-mile fun walk.

Awards will be given for male and female, over and under 40, as well as some non-traditional awards for oldest competitor and who came from the furthest away.

Manzone will DJ the event. Other highlights include a post-race party that includes coffee from Tim Horton’s, a variety of snacks, an auction for a one-year gym membership and, of course, a turkey mingling with the crowd for all your race photo opps.

Registration for Gobble for Groceries begins at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 23, with the race starting at 9. For more info, visit the event Facebook page at www.facebook.com/Gobble-forGroceries-171174929892610.

“What a wonderful way to start out Thanksgiving!” said Greene. “This run/walk is the true meaning of giving back to our community in the form of donations and/or groceries. It’s also builds a tremendous sense of how very blessed we are to live in WNY and have our families and friends here and a part of our lives.”

Astro Cheer Elite Teams to Host Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk The Astro Cheer Elite teams of Randolph will hold a Turkey Trot 5K Run/Walk on Nov. 22.

There will also be a running costume contest. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the race will start at 8:30 a.m. The race course begins and ends at the historic Borden Street building at 26 Center Street.

Participants registering Nov. 16 or up to the day of the race will pay registration fees of adults $20 and children $15.

This is a fundraiser for the team to help defray costs of upcoming competitions, gym equipment and new uniforms.

Sponsors for the race are still being accepted. Anyone

interested in participating in the race should contact Susan Magara at astrocheerelite@ gmail.com for a registration form.

For more information on the cheer teams and tumbling classes offered, find Astro Cheer Elite on Facebook.

“Two Kinds of Truth”

by Michael Connelly

Harry Bosch is back as a volunteer working cold cases and is called out to a local drug store where a young pharmacist has been murdered.

Bosch sifts through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big business world of pill mills and prescription drug abuse.

Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch’s LAPD days comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him, and seems to have new evidence to prove it. Harry must fend for himself in clearing his name and keeping a clever killer in prison.

The two unrelated cases wind around each other like strands of barbed wire. Along the way Bosch discovers that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness.

This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book or an audio book using our interlibrary loan program. Or download the eBook or eAudiobook version to your own device. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,300 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Local Artist Taps Into Spirit Realm

This weekend’s third annual Winter Arts Festival will feature a variety of talented local artists sharing their creative talents with guests in the Holiday Valley Lodge. One new artist debuting at this year’s show is Heidi Marie Jimerson, a spirit artist.

Jimerson, who works with children at Seneca Intermediate School in Salamanca and whose own kids attend Ellicottville Central, has been doing spirit art for almost 20 years. She said she got into it after attending a psychic fair and meeting spirit artist and registered medium Bonnie White, who resided in Lily Dale, NY and created a spirit art piece for her. “I had one done by her and was amazed,” Jimerson explained.

She ran into White several years later and had another one done, at which time White suggested that Jimerson take her class on the subject. Jimerson did, and was inspired.

“I thoroughly enjoy tapping into the spirit realm while peacefully creating art,” she said.

For years, she did it as a hobby for personal enjoyment and relaxation. Over time, Jimerson began to share her work with friends and family, who encouraged her to share her unique and abstract art with the world.

Jimerson explained her process of creating each unique piece involves lighting a candle and meditating a moment. She then chooses a color, closes her eyes and lets the chalk in her hand flow across the paper.

“I then open my eyes and begin exploring the drawing,”

she explained. “I will try to highlight or outline some things I see in the drawing. I’m always amazed by the things that appear in my drawing, especially considering the majority of my work is done with my eyes closed.”

Animals, objects, faces, symbols, letters and sometimes angels literally appear on the paper. “Throughout the entire process, intuitively, information comes in, which I share with the recipient,” Jimerson explained.

“My passion is to be able to share this gift with others. We are all born with intuition, but some are born with it to help

others. It is truly a fascinating and rewarding experience and I feel very honored to have received this gift.”

Jimerson will have limited edition framed prints of her work for sale at the Winter Arts Festival Nov. 18.

She noted that while these are prints, she has always believed in the mystical appearance of sparkles, and added glitter to each print to make each one truly unique.

Jimerson will also be booking individual sessions during that time. For more info, contact Jimerson at heidimariespiritart@gmail.com.

Meet the Makers as You Shop The Winter Arts Festival is a juried fine art and artisan show and sale happening on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lodge at Holiday Valley. Here you will find unique, handmade gifts — paintings, prints, photographs, stained glass, pottery, jewelry, wood carvings, purses, scarves, and baskets all created by regional artists and artisans devoted to their crafts and mediums. Their artistic vision and skills have been honed over the years, resulting in fine quality craftsmanship that cannot be replicated by a machine.

Winter Arts Festival potter Elliott Hutten has been working with clay for 35 years, describing the accumulation of her experience this way, “Working as a functional potter for over three decades has taught me to value my use of time. Clay is a simple material which can be easily manipulated while it is soft. Once it dries however, it becomes brittle and fragile. A potter must learn to handle the clay at the right moment, taking care to do each important step at the critical time in order to achieve a successful finished product. Making pottery is much more labor intensive than one might think at first glance!”

Hog-Shed Studio Pottery, Hutten’s business, has many devoted customers who appreciate and value her work. She explains, “It is wonderful to know that people enjoy using the pottery I make. Drinking coffee or tea from a handmade mug is different from using a commercial one that has been manufactured in a factory. There is character in something which has been made by hand — no two pieces are exactly the same.”

Working in a completely different medium, but still very much hand-made, is basket artist Gail Kemp. Kemp has always been interested in nature and using what is available to make into useful and decorative items. She has been working at her craft for 30 years, starting with kits and patterns, then exploring basket books, and taking a few instructional classes.

Her baskets are colorful and rustic, sometimes incorporating antlers as handles. Although Kemp has been weaving baskets for thirty years, the Winter Arts Festival is her first formal show and she is looking forward to it.

Forstained glass artisan Karen Fitzpatrick, her business, Just Fitz LLC, has evolved from beginning with a stained glass class in 2003, progressing to a custom window for the music room in her house in 2006 and then becoming an obsession with improvisation using glass as a medium. As she explains, “I use my own designs from my own photographs or drawings, but often jump in without a pattern to follow and see where it takes me.”

After participating in a gallery show and joining the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, Karen began to take part in the Routes to Art Studio Tours from 2009-2014, showcasing her beautiful works that play with color and light. She exhibits and sells her work at art shows and festivals and does commission work as well (http://www.justfitzstainedglass.com/).

Come meet these and other artists and begin your holiday shopping. You will bring home some of the most beautiful items you will ever own!

The Winter Arts Festival is produced by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council with special support from Holiday Valley Lodge, the Ellicottville Times and the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development and Tourism. There is no admission charge for shoppers, but you are invited to participate in the basket raffle fundraiser for CCAC featuring wares from regional businesses.

Christmas in Ellicottville Continued from front page

Irish Christmas December 1

Ellicottville allows us to help create those memories that your family will be able to cherish and remember for years to come, and that is why we love this event. To be able to create an event that is free that so many enjoy is what we strive for. All the smiles of the children when they see Santa, or the excitement when they get to create an ornament to take home with them, is what

the feeling of Christmas should be.”

Start your weekend right with a fire truck ride with Santa or Mrs. Claus. The Ellicottville Volunteer Fire Department acts as the chauffer for Mr. and Mrs. Claus as they take a spin around the village in Santa’s other big red sleighs. Once you are back on Jefferson Street, head over to our artistic elf to get that special piece of art painted directly on your face.

What would make the holidays more special than a snowflake on your cheek, in paint? Maybe a nice Santa hat or reindeer antlers? Our artist can make that happen special for you.

The horse-drawn carriage rides will start at 1 p.m. at Katy’s Café and will tour the village. Once your horse has gone around, head over to the Wingate by Wyndham, our event sponsor, for a special

time to meet with Santa to make sure you are on that “Nice List” and your wish list is in. While you wait for your turn, why not make a Christmas decoration for your tree at home? It’s all available, and all free, right there at the Wingate.

At 5:30 p.m., Santa, his carolers, and Rudolph will stroll from around Katy’s, up through the village, to the 1887 Building lawn, where songs will be sung and real, live reindeer will arrive at 6 p.m.

Hot chocolate will be available, compliments of Holiday Valley, and a countdown will take place for Santa to magically flip the switch and turn on the lights on the Village Christmas Tree lights and the rest of the village at 6:30. The streets of Ellicottville will look like a scene from It’s a Wonderful Life!

Saturday and Sunday start

Cattaraugus County Arts Council Presents Juried Show of Jewelry Paintings Wood Carving Photographs Pottery Fiber Arts and more!

10am-6pm Saturday, November 18th www.myartscouncil.net (716)372-7455

at 10 a.m. with a pancake breakfast with Santa at Finnerty’s. Donations in the form of non-perishable food or monetary for the Ellicottville Food Pantry. The rest of the weekend will be filled with carriage rides, fire truck rides, cookie decorating, and even more time with Santa for the little ones. Santa’s reindeer will be at the 1887 building on Saturday, and, of course, the great retail merchants and restaurants of Ellicottville will be open all weekend as well.

What a great way to get out as a family and get a jump on that Holiday shopping!

Come out to the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Christmas in Ellicottville, sponsored by Wingate by Wyndham, Nov. 24 – 26. It is guaranteed to be a weekend of FREE family fun!
