Check out the East Otto Country Holiday Open House

By Alicia Dziak

Getting ready for the holidays has never been easier, and you can take a short stroll down Main Street later this month and get everything you need. At the annual A Very Merry Main Street, Nov. 25 and 26, local stores and businesses will open their doors and offer customers a great shopping experience, Springville style.

A Very Merry Main Street began four years ago, when Kim Carrow, owner of My Best Friend’s Closet and Mary James, owner of Fresh (formerly Rhapsody’s), had the idea and approached other businesses with it. Since then, it has become a combined effort, with everyone chipping in to organize it each year.

“It incorporates Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, which is small business owners’ holiday,” Carrow

explained.

The two-day event includes businesses between the lights at Buffalo and Franklin Streets on Main Street. “We wanted it to be walkable,” Carrow said.

In addition, other local businesses, who don’t have their own storefront, will be set up inside the businesses that do.

The businesses pool their money and offer cash prizes. Customers pick up a See Very Merry Main St. page 2

Concord Planning Board Hopes to Learn More About Solar Energy

By Christopher Gordon

Learning more about the benefits of solar energy is a topic the Town of Concord Planning Board hopes to get more educated on in the near future.

Board member James D. Jozwiak believes it could be beneficial and asked if anyone from the board talked with Solar Liberty.

“The presentation I went to was pretty good,” Jozwiak said.

According to Jozwiak, Solar Liberty officials could give an idea of the long-term savings from those who switch to

solar energy. For example, he said they could give a rough estimate of how much could be saved in a few months after the cost of installation.

Board member Bruce Luno said there is a home on North Otto Road that recently went solar and he would like to see the board hear from Solar Liberty because it is not just homeowners that can benefit.

“A lot of the stuff they are doing is both residential and commercial,” Jozwiak said.

At this time, an exact date for a presentation has yet to be determined.

By Alicia Dziak

If you need an excuse to get out this month, here are three.

Springville Health & Fitness, located at 243 West Main Street in Springville, opens its doors to the public for a variety of events in the next few weeks.

Springville Health & Fitness owner Mary Hannon said she is “always looking for new events” to hold in their large second floor space, and that she looks forward to November’s events bringing people in to see their building.

On Saturday, Nov. 5, head to the Wedding Expo and Flea Market, presented by WNY Wedding and Party Supplies, where you’ll find “one stop shopping” for all your party needs.

WNY Wedding and Party

Supplies owner Toni Story created these events as “a way to connect people who are getting married (or having a big party) to local vendors” and also as a way for those who have already been through it to sell their wares. At the expo,

guests will find everything from photographers, florists, printers, officiants, bakers and more, as well as people selling centerpieces, dresses, pew bows, you name it.

“You can find everything you need in one day,” Story

Once complete, they drop it off at one of the businesses for a chance to win three cash prizes (one for $300, two for $100 each.)

Carrow believes this event has been so successful in the past because people are getting away from the big box stores and realize the positive impact of supporting local merchants.

“People are more aware of shopping local— they love the feeling of it and of running into people they know,” Carrow said.

A Very Merry Main Street runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 25, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 26. Entry forms must be turned in by 4 p.m. on Saturday to be included in the drawing.

Springville Presbyterian Church Celebrates Bicentennial

By Derek M. Otto

On Nov. 2, 1816, a group of nine pioneers in Springville, led by John Russell, met with Rev. John Spencer to form the Congregationalist Church in Springville. Even though various circuit preachers had visited the area prior to this day, this event led to the ďŹ rst church being formed in Springville.

John Spencer founded many other churches in the Holland Purchase, and Springville would become an important stop on his circuit.

John Russell was the second permanent resident of the Town of Concord, arriving in 1808, and remained Deacon of the church until he died around 1845.

In the 1820s, several revivals from the Congregational Church led to the formation of other church societies, the Methodists in 1824 and a Baptist Society in 1827.

The early church met in a variety of places, including on old log school house at Franklin and Academy Streets, the partially constructed Methodist Church on Chapel Street, the not-quite-completed 1830 Springville Academy, and even the Springville House Hotel when it was owned by Johnson Bensley.

By 1832, the need for a church building was evident.

The congregation bought property on Franklin Street (the current site of St. Al’s) and built a small church. The original 1832 church building still stands as a private residence on Smith Street.

In 1941, a timber was removed from the roof of that building as part of the church’s centennial as a Presbyterian Church.

In 1841, the Springville Congregational Church reorganized and chose the Presbyterian form of church government. Not long after the reorganization, the church outgrew the original structure and a new brick ediďŹ ce was built on the corner of Buffalo and Franklin streets. This was the ďŹ rst brick church building in Springville, and still stands today. The church building was very impressive with a clock, domed tower and a massive weather vane at the top of it. Other major changes to the church would come in 1874, according to an article in 1922 describing the church history: “A steeper roof was erected over the old one, which was too at. The old tower was

dismantled and a spire erected in place of the old dome. An addition of 24 by 36 feet was added to the west side as a lecture room.� This didn’t mention the entire redecoration with new lathe and plaster.

All repairs cost $6,000 and were designed by Springville architect Thomas Lincoln.

Other additions followed: the ďŹ rst pipe organ in Springville was installed in 1906 and in 1911 another major addition included a parlor, lavatories, a kitchen and dining room.

Major disaster struck on a cold morning in February 1921, when a major ďŹ re completely engulfed the sanctuary and steeple. It completely gutted the sanctuary; however, the communion table and parsons chairs were salvaged. The ďŹ re created $25,000 in damage.

The church had only $12,500 in insurance.

Amazingly the church raised another $10,000 on Easter morning and by June 22, 1922 the church was rebuilt and rededicated. The new interior was of dark oak and a new pipe organ was installed. The communion table and other furnishings were reďŹ nished to match the new interior. The current colonial style columns and a new copper dome on the bell tower replaced the spire.

The newest major addition came in 1996 when the church added a major two -story addition that updated the kitchen, created a prayer chapel, classrooms and ofďŹ ces.

Churches are more than buildings, and over the 200 years, the congregation grew from the original nine

to hundreds of Springville residents across many generations.

Some Springville traditions are also the work of the mission of the Presbyterian Church.

The annual hot dog and rummage sale is one example, but that cast a small shadow on the thousands of fry cakes the church’s ladies society has made every Friday since 1942.

The church has had scores of pastors over the years, some staying a couple of months to the most notable Reverend Andrew O’Connor who served 31 years at the church from 1950-1981. Rev. O’Connor promised in a 1980 interview with the Buffalo News reporter Bob Buyer that he would stay “in Springville only a year after retiring.� Many in Springville remember he stayed on a few years longer, serving as the pastor of the East Concord Baptist Church.

The church has held some special events special events to celebrate 200 years of worshipping. This has included an old fashioned tent meeting with the tent set up in the church sanctuary, to the rededication of the library to Mrs. Lois O’Dell longtime church librarian.

This week the church will have a special bicentennial concert on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 5 p.m. that will feature organist Bryan Timm playing many popular hymns and spirituals.

The following morning, on Sunday, Nov. 6 during the church’s coffee hour, the church will dedicate a time capsule. For more information please call the church at (716) 592-7962.

Griffins Struggle in Funke Bowl

By Indrek Kongats

After an exciting win last Friday night under the lights against Depew, SGI looked poised to capture the Class B Section VI Chuck Funke Memorial Classic, dubbed the Funke Bowl, Thursday night against East Aurora/Holland HS. The two had matched up back on Oct. 14 with EAH coming out on top 43-16. This would be a tough contest for the Griffs and they would have to play a great game to win.

EAH drew first blood with a touchdown and single point conversion halfway through the first quarter. SGI did have an opportunity to score earlier in the quarter as No. 9, Connor O’Brien, marched his crew to the Red Zone, only to turn the ball over on a fumble. The conditions where deplorable once again; it seems the same rain cloud that played havoc on the game last week had followed the Griffs all Experience the the way to Pioneer Central HS Emerling Difference!

Stadium, where the game was now being played. Driving rain and near freezing temperatures didn’t help Springville’s ball control.

SELECT VEHICLES Springville finally got on the score board with just 16 seconds left in the quarter.

O’Brien handed off to No. 23 running back, Marcus James, who crossed the goal line for six points. Unfortunately, James was hit hard and took a few minutes to get to his feet. He was ok and continued to play.

SCORE BIG WITH TOP NOTCH SERVICE The Griffs’ attempt for a twopoint conversion, failed leaving the score EAH 7, SGI 6 at the quarter’s end.

The team had a tremendous season and is to be congratulated for making it to semis.

plan for the second half if they were going to stay in the game.

The half ended EAH 21, SGI 6.

The driving rain didn’t let up and neither did the Blue Devils. They hammered the Griffs for two more converted touchdowns, attacking both on the ground and through the air.

Finally, with a meager crowd of some 100 loyal fans urging the Griffs on, No. 24 Ian Baker ran into the end zone to put another six points on the scoreboard with 11 seconds left in the third quarter. Again, the two point conversion failed, leaving the score EAH 35, SGI 12.

The fourth quarter was more favorable for Springville as their defense finally stopped the Blue Devil scoring machine and with 3:41 left in the game. Back up quarterback No. 12, junior Matt Evans, came in to give a commanding performance and teamed up with Baker for SGI’s third and final touchdown for the game.

O’Brien came in and handed off to No. 26, sophomore Jackson Richert, for a twopoint conversion, giving SGI 20 points.

The Griffs played a solid game that could have gone their way if they didn’t have two costly fumbles in the first half that could have been scoring opportunities, and converted on their first two touchdowns.

That was the difference in the final score— EAH 35, SGI 20. Springville will graduate O’Brien, James and Baker, but based on how several of their

younger stars, including Evans, Richert and Lazarus, played, SGI supporters will have lots to cheer about next year under Coach Eric Jantzi and staff’s excellent leadership!

MS 8th Grade Art Club: Unleashing Creativity

By Alicia Dziak

By Alicia Dziak

The SGI modified girls soccer team finished up their season on Saturday, Oct. 29 with a 2-1 win over Holland. In a battle of two purple and gold teams, the Griffs struck first with a goal

by Jackie Roggie, assisted by Brooke Walker.

Holland answered with a goal later in the second half. SGI dominated the second half, and Dru Robinson lobbed the game winner in over the goalie’s head.

All of the girls played an amazing season and ended with a record of 3-5-2. Next year, eighth graders Ava Dziak, Shay Ellis, Caity Hazen,

Deanna Johnson, Logan Lukert, Kiley Nolan, Mabel Robinson, Jackie Roggie, Shelby Smith and Shelby Stisser will have the opportunity to move up to JV, while seventh graders Sophia Cureo, Serenity Heim, Arial Link, Lexi Moriarty, Sarah O’Neal, Dru Robinson, Maddie Schwanekamp and Brooke Walker will hopefully return to lead the team. Sixth grade manager Lily Dziak and her classmates will also be a welcome addition to next season’s roster.

Thanks to all the parents and SGI fans who cheered the girls on throughout the season!

In the SGI middle school, art is offered as one of the “exploratories,” and students in grades 6-8 get to explore art daily for one 10-week marking period per year. For those who really want to further unleash their creativity, the art teacher, Kristin Jaeger, offers eighth graders the chance to be part of the 8th Grade Art Club.

“The MS 8th Grade Art Club is divided into two groups, each meeting one day a week,” Jaeger explained. “We create artworks that are communityfocused, which are chosen based on subject, interest and timing.”

Each meeting can be very different depending on the task at hand. “I may be introducing the Art Club members to the project itself sharing information using websites, handouts and visuals. We may be brainstorming subject ideas, learning new art media or be busy in the art production process,” Jaeger explained.

There are only 12 students total, and while the club is open to all eighth grade students, enrollment is currently closed, and Jaeger pointed out, “I may reopen enrollment later in the school year, but it is difficult to allow students to join at any point in time because we may be in the middle of projects and have deadlines to meet.”

She added that by only having a handful of students “I enjoy having the opportunity to work with small groups, something that does not happen in your typical art class.

Interested students and their parents had to sign a contract, and commit to completing all in-class projects, for those currently enrolled in art as an exploratory, before being elegible to participate in Art Club projects.

While the Art Club just began meeting last week, a few projects have been planned, although the whole year has not yet been mapped out.

“In the past, we have participated in the DrugFree New Year Art & Poetry Competition, the SPCA poster contest (both of which we had several winners!), and the

Springville Dairy Festival (the students won prizes for this as well!),” said Jaeger.

The students also create artwork and use media that the Art Club members have interest in learning about and exploring further. These projects can become an integral part of the students growing art portfolios that they will continue to develop in the High School Art program and are necessary for entrance into a college arts program.

“My goal is for all of the members of our Art Club to build relationships and inspire each other through the creative projects we participate in,” Jaeger noted. “I hope they will inspire other students, staff and community members through their artwork as well.”

Outdoor Adventure Beginners Guide to Fly Fishing for Steelhead

(716) 699.4062 Page 5

4779 Transit Road, Depew, NY 14043

By Indrek Kongats

If you are reading this column to learn how to fly fish for one of the most challenging of the Salmonidae species, then you have come to the right place. If you’ve never fly fished before, no problem—what you’ll read will help you with that as well.

Most people fly fish because it’s the most elegant way to hook and land a fish, and if the fish aren’t biting, it’s just plain fun to cast a line.

A quick introduction to fly fishing and what sets it apart from other types of fishing: to start with fly casting isn’t really about casting a fly; it’s about casting the line that the fly is attached to. The fly is for catching fish, the rod is for casting the line and fighting the fish, the line is to get the fly to where the fish are…have I lost you yet?

Let’s step back a bit. Most people have fished before, especially if they are interested in becoming fly fishers, men, women or kids. If you have fished with a spinning reel or a level wind bait casting reel, then what you were doing is casting a weighted object, a hook and sinker for live or dead bait or an artificial lure, whether it’s made out of metal, plastic or wood. When you wind up for a cast, it’s the weighted object that pulls the line off the reel; the line is only meant to retrieve the weighted object, hopefully with more weight than first cast out.

Imagine picking up a feather and tossing it across a football field or the length of a basketball court. Impossible you say? Well, you are right— it is impossible, but not if you are an expert fly caster that can cast that feather on the end of a fly line well over 100 feet. The feather has no weight, but the fly line does and that is what you are trying to cast.

There are different types of fly lines, but the one that most people use is the weight forward kind, unless, of course, you are trying to do something very special.

Weight forward fly lines are just that— start off with a uniform line that slowly starts to get thicker toward the end.

That’s the weighted part. To the fly line, you attach a leader that is tapered in the other direction, thinnest toward the end. To the leader, you attach a tippet; the tippet is not tapered, but is replaceable if it breaks off from the leader. To the tippet, you tie your fly.

Fly lines are expensive; you don’t want to lose them, so you attach some Dacron type line to your reel and the other end to your fly line. That’s the whole outfit: rod, reel, fly line,

Fly fishing is a bit like golf; you’ll have a different rod and fly line for different species of fish and different river conditions. In golf, one of the most popular and easy to hit clubs is the seven iron; in steelhead fishing, it is a 7 weight rod. The fly line is matched, so you’ll be using a 7 weight fly line or a WF7F, for steelhead. We’ll actually use a WF7FS, which just means a floating weight forward line with a sink tip. The sink tip is important in steelhead fishing because you need to get your fly down to the fish.

I haven’t talked about reels because any fly reel will do, as long it is large enough to hold all of your fly line components.

Let’s talk about the fly itself.

A fly is a hook dressed to kill, meaning that steelhead like their women and men dressed a certain way or they won’t take you up on a date. As in people, a steelhead likes certain colors over others. The most significant color is orange, followed by black. If you had only orange and black flies in your fly box, you’ll catch steelhead most of the time.

Many anglers have their own favorite color, so don’t get too caught up with what I just said; it is merely a very good starting point. In fact, these are the only two colors that I use unless I need something sparkly in very dirty water when something like silver tinsel is added to the fly to do the trick. The fly is tied to a hook and different types and sizes of hooks are used for different techniques and conditions. Larger hooks are for aggressive fish in warmer and higher water, whereas smaller hooks are for lazy fish in colder low water conditions.

Steelhead are more aggressive when the water temperature is 50 degrees or higher, and more

lethargic under 50 degrees.

A true fly fisher will not put weight on his leader. What is permissible in fly fishing is to use a weighted fly, meaning that when the fly is tied, lead wire, the use of a thicker hook, bead heads and lead eyes are used in tying the fly. A weighted fly will help get the fly closer to the steelhead under certain conditions and techniques.

The main technique for using a small weighted fly is called dead drifting, or nymphing, where the fly drifts across the bottom with little or no resistance. When you use a non-weighted or larger fly, you swing it across the current below you.

So here goes, you walk down to the river’s edge with your fly rod in hand. You have to ask yourself, “Am I fishing deep and dead drifting or am I swinging my fly across current?”

The swing is by far the easiest to master, so let’s stick to that. Start by casting a short line down and across the river and let the fly swing and dangle below you. Don’t even enter the water at this point. Next pull another two feet of line off your reel and cast again. Do this until you have reached your maximum casting distance, this maybe only 20 feet for the beginner or 60 feet if the stream is wide enough.

Next, step two feet into the water and cast again. Work your way down the river until you have fished the entire section of river that looked promising.

Continue working sections of water until you finally get a strike. Remember the spot and the technique, fly and conditions for the next time you go!

Honor Veterans at Sprague Brook

By Daniel Meyer

If you are looking to pay homage to our military veterans, you don’t have to travel to Washington D.C. to see a notable monument that pays homage to those who have served. Veterans Memorial Grove in Sprague Brook Park is a moving tribute to all veterans.

Set close to a picturesque pond, the memorial includes a stone memorial honoring all branches of the military and prisoners of war still missing in action. The dedication on the memorial reads as follows: “Who they were, what they sacrificed and how much they loved each other.”

The memorial is located near hiking paths, camp sites and picnic areas, providing space for people to relax and reflect about those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

For more information about Sprague Brook Park, visit www.erie.gov/parks or call (716) 858-7037.

The Boys & Girls Club of Springville currently serves approximately 500 young people yearly, and that number is continuing to grow. Their mission is “to enable all young

people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens in our community.�

Veterans Day is Nov. 11

By Daniel Meyer

Observed annually on Nov. 11, Veterans Day is the single day of remembrance that recognizes the official signing of the armistice, which ended World War I. Military veterans are publicly honored for their service to their country on Veterans Day in a wide variety of ways, including parades, religious services and other community-wide ceremonies that honor the men and women who have served their nation in some capacity.

Though World War I ended in 1918, Congress recognized the end of the battle in 1926 by declaring that the anniversary of the armistice should be

commemorated with prayer and thanksgiving. Nov. 11 was later approved as a legal holiday in 1938, and was first known as Armistice Day to honor all veterans who served during World War I. Following

the mobilization of service members to represent the United States in World War II, in 1954 the name of the holiday was officially changed to Veterans Day.

Bob McCarthy’s Legacy Lives On Rotary to Host Irish Christmas Dec. 2

By Jann Wiswall

Most people who know Ellicottville are lucky enough to have known its favorite Irishman and unofficial ambassador, Bob McCarthy.

McCarthy passed away unexpectedly last spring, leaving a hole in many hearts. But he also left a legacy of selfless generosity that the community is determined to keep alive.

One of the best known of those legacies is the annual Irish Christmas event, which raises funds and collects toys and gifts to make the holidays special for needy families in the community.

And the Rotary Club of Ellicottville has taken hold of the 17th annual event this year in McCarthy’s honor.

ECS Playoff Update

By Indrek Kongats

Last week, Ellicottville Central School teams began their playoffs for fall sports. The varsity football, boys and girls soccer and girls volleyball teams all had their first round of playoff games this past weekend.

Both boys and girls soccer lost their first round games by a score of 0-1. The boys played at Sweet Home against Pine Valley; the girls played at Dunkirk against North Collins in an exciting game. Robin Freaney, goalie for ECS, had four amazing saves before the fifth one slipped by her. That was the only goal either team scored. ECS had four good shots on goal as well, ending up 11-6-1 for the year.

In football action, the third-seed Ellicottville-Franklinville Titans upset second-seed Silver Creek-Forestville by a score of 56-33. Earlier in October, Silver Creek had defeated the Titans by one point, 27-26, so this victory was especially sweet. The 7-2 Titans will now meet the 9-0 Maple Grove Red Dragons, the number one seed who shutout Randolph See ECS Playoff Update page 4

Breton, Nelson Battle for County Legislator Seat

By Christopher Gordon

The next President of the United States is not the only political race that will be decided on election day, as a number of local and state races will be decided on Tuesday, Nov. 8 as well.

One of the key races will

be for the Cattaraugus County Legislature, as Robert J. Breton will look to fend off a challenge from John Nelson III for the District 3 seat, which holds a three-year term.

Breton, who will be on the Republican, Independence and Reform Party lines will look to

retain the seat he was appointed to in May following the death of William Weller Sr. Nelson’s name will appear on the Democratic and Conservative Party lines.

Also, Rep. Thomas W. Reed See Local Elections page 6

One local non-for-proďŹ t organization that assists veterans from across Western New York recently reiterated their mission of improving the lives of those who proudly served their nation. WNY Heroes is making a difference in the lives of local military veterans, including service members from Erie County.

The organization’s dedicated volunteers recently held the seventh annual Red, White & Blue Gala, an annual fundraiser that recognized veterans who have served and the families left behind.

Founded in 2007, WNY Heroes provides veterans with access to day-to-day living needs, ďŹ nancial assistance and other resources to help them maintain their dignity. In addition, assistance is provided to the widows and children of deceased veterans so that the legacy of the deceased veteran is not forgotten and emotional relief from stress about unpaid bills can be avoided.

WNY Heroes is overseen by an advisory board made up of business leaders,

representatives of various philanthropic and civic foundations and other stakeholders from the community.

The Red, White & Blue Gala allowed the organization and attendees to recognize those who served and the families left behind because of the service provided by their loved one. Led by Chris Kreiger, president and chief executive ofďŹ cer of WNY Heroes, the organization is now looking ahead to continue to help families in need in a variety of different ways. Whether it’s providing ďŹ nancial assistance to pay rent, keeping their utilities turned on or making sure the refrigerator is stocked, Krieger and an extremely dedicated group of volunteers remain focused on doing what they can to assist those in need. “Veterans should not return home and end up becoming homeless or jobless,â€? said Kreiger, a U.S. Army veteran himself, who served overseas. “Veterans should be given ďŹ rst choice for job hiring, something I know our

community is working on to make that happen. What some people don’t understand is that it is very hard for most veterans to ask for help.�

Kreiger encourages residents of Springville and the surrounding communities to consider making a general donation to WNY Heroes. “Helping a veteran sustain his or her dignity is what we strive for,� said Krieger.

We have gained support in the community because we promise all of our donors that all funds raised will remain local. What we do stays right here in Western New York.

With the continued support of the community we will continue to grow and expand our current programs to help the proud men and women who served our country and preserved our way of life.�

For more information about WNY Heroes, including how to make a donation to the organization, visit www. wnyheroes.org or call (716) 630-5020.

Treat a Veteran to Dinner Nov. 9 There may be no better way to thank a military veteran for their service than by treating them to dinner. With that in mind, a special event will take place next week in Allegany, giving Ellicottville area residents the opportunity to take a scenic drive to the Rotary Club of Olean’s Veterans Day Pasta Dinner. The event will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 9 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Allegany Legion, located at 4350 Route 17 in Allegany.

Veterans will eat free, as your favorite pasta will be topped with handmade tomato sauce, fresh garlic and herbs, alfredo cheese sauce and handmade meatballs. Salad, bread and dessert will also be on the menu, with tickets being sold at the door for non-veterans at a cost of $8 for adults, $7 for guests either under age 12 or over age 65, or $16 for a family.

Proceeds will beneďŹ t the community through community service projects and other charitable endeavors sponsored by the Olean Rotary Club.

28-0. The Class D Section VI Championship game will be played Nov. 4 at the Billsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; New Era ďŹ eld, game time is 5 p.m.

The Titans are ranked 7329 in the nation and 218 in New York State, compared to the Red Dragons that are 3872 in the nation and 83 in NYS. In varsity girls volleyball, the ďŹ fth-seed Lady Eagles made it to the Section VI semiďŹ nals, upsetting fourth-seed Forestville, three games to one with the following scores: 25-16, 20-25, 27-25 and 2512. Ellicottville played North Collins, the number one seed, Nov. 1 at North Collins, but lost three games to one with the scores 25-20, 25-16, 2025 and 25-18. Standouts for Ellicottville on defense were Mackenzie Czapla with 31 digs in the ďŹ rst two games alone, and on offense, Marissa Hamilton with seven kills in the ďŹ rst two games, who continued to spike the ball well in the rest of the games.

With everyone out except football, the boys of fall should have lots of fans to cheer them on in what will sure to be an epic game on Nov. 4.

The weather forecast is partly cloudy, cool with a high of only 43 degrees and a mere 10 percent chance of rain. Come cheer on the Titans!

CORRECTION In an article printed in the Oct. 28 edition of the Ellicottville Times, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playoff Season!â&#x20AC;?, we referred to a volleyball tournament, in which ECS participated, as the St. Bonaventure Volleybash, when, in fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the Olean Volleybash, held and hosted by the Olean High School volleyball program at St. Bonaventure University. We would like to recognize the efforts of the parents, players and those involved in planning the tournament and apologize for the error.

The Boardroom on Main Surges in Social Media Marketing

By Caitlin Croft

As The Boardroom on Main (BoM) prepares for their second season with a Village location, their cutting edge social media savvy has their new podcast available on iTunes. The Ellicottville Times got an inside look at their upcoming year with one of the owners, Spencer Timkey.

(BoM is owned by the Timkey family, long time Ellicottville residents.)

In their podcast, Cold Soup, Team Boardroom discusses topics such as winter predictions, their favorite products, winter sports videos and everything to do with the mountain lifestyle. Their sixth podcast dropped on Nov. 1, 2016. You can access and subscribe to the episodes by searching “Cold Soup” on iTunes. Each Podcast drops on Tuesdays around 7 p.m. eastern standard time.

“Social media marketing is the future,” Timkey tells us.

“People do everything on their phone these days, so we want to maximize our search engine optimization, adapt and evolve with the future of marketing.”

Along with their podcasts, BoM is very active on Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram, posting their newest gear, promos and everything Ellicottville. They can be found with the username boardroomeville on all platforms. You can also find them on Facebook as The Boardroom Snowboard Shop.

With this being their second season of business, there are a few more changes to the layout of the store. Last year, BoM was inside of Adventure Bound onthefly on the lower level and this led to some visibility issues. “Bad snowfall with the sinking Canadian Dollar also did not help the cause,” Timkey said. “This year we share the space again, but we have our own front door and first floor space, adjoined to Adventure Bound. This coupled with strong winter forecasting makes all of us at The Boardroom on Main very optimistic for the upcoming season.”

BoM features many products, but the main brands they carry are Burton, Volcom, Stance Socks, GoPro and Oakley. Equipment inside the store is very lifestyle-centric.

The Ellicottville Times would like to thank all of the businesses who sponsored our Halloween coloring contest. THANK YOU to Pumpkinville, Nightmare Hayrides, Sky High at Holiday Valley and M&T Bank. We appreciate everything you do for the community!

OBITUARY Sara ‘Susie’ Leiser on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 11 a.m. at the Twentieth Century Club, 595 Delaware Ave., Buffalo 14202. Flowers gratefully declined. Memorials may be made to Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Hospice Buffalo, Inc. or the Twentieth Century Club Preservation Foundation.

LASP Joins the Global #GivingTuesday Movement Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program (LASP) invites the community to join the #GivingTuesday movement on Nov. 29, 2016 by participating in a 24-hour fundraising blitz to expand adaptive skiing opportunities for disadvantaged disabled populations, including youth and Veterans. #GivingTuesday is held annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) to kick-off the holiday giving season and inspire people to collaborate in improving their local communities by giving back to the charities and causes they support.

LASP has set a #GivingTuesday goal of $35,000 to be used to purchase special adaptive ski equipment, sponsor scholarships for disadvantaged students and to fund volunteer training and certification programs.

They invite the community to help LASP reach new donors by spreading the word about #GivingTuesday by visiting www.facebook.com/ LounsburyAdaptive.

“LASP hopes that the positive effects of skiing will carry over and give confidence to various

“We carry a wide variety of apres gear that is tailored to the avid winter sports enthusiast,” said Timkey. This includes products such as flannels, hoodies, street wear, socks, etc.

When the Timkey family decided to open this second store (their flagship store, The Boardroom, is located just outside of the Village of Ellicottville by Holiday Valley), they wanted to have it be an expansion and extension of their product lines. “It was an opportunity to grow and sell products we feel are essential to the mountain lifestyle,” Timkley stated.

BoM resides at 14 Washington Street. They can also be found online at www. boardsandpowder.com, phoned at (716) 364-5800 or just stop by and say hello some time!

McCarthy’s Irish Christmas Continued from front page

The newly re-named “Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas” event is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 2 and Rotary member and event organizer Greg Cappelli says, “It promises to be the biggest one yet, especially as friends and acquaintances come out on Bob’s behalf.”

As always, McCarthy’s Christmas tree-decorated wagon will be parked early Friday morning in the village, this year in front of Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC), to collect unwrapped new toys and gifts for the Rotary Club’s Santa’s Workshop and the Sheriff’s Santa Program.

Santa’s Workshop provides gifts and Christmas dinner to families (children and adults) who otherwise would not be able to afford them.

The wagon will be in place all day long; financial donations also are welcome.

That evening, residents and visitors alike are invited to gather at EBC for drinks, dinner and music from 6-10 p.m. Area restaurants, including Dina’s, Madigan’s, Katy’s Café, the Silver Fox, Ilio DiPaolos and EBC will serve dishes specially created to offer “a taste of Ireland” (or you may order from EBC’s extensive regular menu) for a small donation and Jerry Dixon and his band “Seanachie” will perform Irish tunes.

The signature event of the evening is the highly competitive, energetic pie auction.

In the past, McCarthy, a master woodworker, created ten or more gorgeous pie boxes to hold delicious homemade pies baked by area residents.

general physician pc welcomes dr. marcy masyga to our expanding practice in springville We are proud to welcome Dr. Marcy Masyga to our team.

Her commitment to patientfocused, quality care makes her the perfect addition to our family medicine practice.

The boxes are a highly soughtafter keepsake and some have gone for as much as $2,000 each in past years.

McCarthy’s elaborate wooden birdhouses and unique furniture pieces also were auctioned at Irish Christmas.

Cappelli said that it came as no surprise to those who knew him that McCarthy had already started on 2016 auction pieces at the time of his death.

They include three birdhouses, which are on display at Katy’s Café and the Ameri-Can boutique, as well as a beautiful wedding chest.

This year, those pieces will be auctioned and several talented area woodworkers have volunteered to create this year’s pie boxes (Ed Frederickson), additional birdhouses (Art Chubb) and several custom furniture pieces (Hugh Dunne).

Volunteers are still needed to help with a variety of tasks in preparation for the event.

Please call Cappelli at (716) 474-7832 if you can help. Visit Rotary Club of Ellicottville on Facebook for more information and make sure to plan to participate on Dec. 2.

American Diabetes Month in November Diabetes has been called an invisible disease.

Fact: About 29 million Americans deal with this chronic illness.

Fact: Every 23 seconds, another person in the United States is diagnosed with diabetes.

And, fact: with 86 million Americans in danger of developing this condition, raising awareness of diabetes symptoms, treatment options, risk factors and ways to lower those risks are of high importance.

In November, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) calls attention to diabetes with American Diabetes Month.

Employees at Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home will be wearing gray on Monday, Nov. 14 - World Diabetes Day. Gray was established as the designated color for diabetes in the early 1990s.

The stereotypes and myths about diabetes can be addressed through the awareness efforts of national organizations like the ADA. Local outreach from healthcare providers and primary care centers to patients and families also plays a key role in clearing up confusion about diabetes.

Education programs like the one at BCH are helpful for patients with diabetes

and pre-diabetes to access accurate, relevant and current information about these conditions.

BCH’s Diabetes Education Program is accredited by the American Association of Diabetic Educators, and offers group and individual classes for prediabetics and diabetics. The BCH diabetes support group meets on the first Monday of most months. This group continues with the topic “Holiday Eating” on Nov. 7 and “Web Sites and Apps” on Dec. 5.

There is no cost to participate in this group. For more information, call (716) 592-9643.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library

‘Pirate’

by Clive Cussler Husband and wife treasure hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are off on a relaxing vacation, v but a detour to visit a rare bookstore leads to the discovery of a dead body.

All A signs point to a book in the store that may contain a secret map, an actual, inkon-paper o guide to a historic fortune.

The Fargos take up the challenge and find themselves flying from California C to Arizona, from Jamaica to England. Racing against a vicious corporate raider r with an unhealthy obsession for this particular treasure, Sam and Remi are slowed s by a new betrayal at every turn. It can only mean one thing: someone on their team t cannot be trusted.

This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library.

L It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program.

Don’t D forget, you can access over 14,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card! l

Have you seen them and wondered what they were?

They look like a Swiss ball cut in half with a solid base. The BOSU ball (which stands for both sides up), is a great way to increase both balance and core strength while conditioning the entire body.

When you focus on multiple elements of fitness, along with compound movements, more coordination is achieved, along with a greater calorie burn.

Also, training on an unstable surface can prove to be essential for snow sports, such as skiing and snowboarding.

Drills can be performed in a circuit fashion, completing 20 repetitions or utilizing a

time element, such as 30-60 seconds.

Start with your biggest muscle group, the legs. Squat by standing with either the bubble side up or bubble side down, sit back on your heels slowly keeping your core muscles tight and head up high.

Add a dumbbell or medicine ball for more challenge.

Next, perform lunges, stepping forward on to the BOSU (bubble side up).

Stand on top of the BOSU and step off, either to the side or backwards. With any of these exercises, keep the core muscles tight and don’t be afraid to use your arms as a counter balance device. If you fall off, get back on and continue to push forward for reps without compromising your form.

In order to challenge the stability of the upper body muscles, place yourself in a push up position with the bubble side down. Perform push-ups with an alternating plank and knee in for extra core performance.

BOSU balls are excellent for plyometrics as well.

Completing power jumps from the ground to the top of

the BOSU helps build that explosive power your legs need to tackle the toughest hills out there. Try some hop-overs, moving quickly side to side.

Only add speed when you feel you have the movement mastered. As with any fitness tool, injuries can occur if you are sloppy or unskilled with the equipment.

Other great moves to include in your BOSU routine are the bird-dog, alternating between knees on the BOSU and hands on the BOSU. The Superman is another terrific move that even a beginner can perform.

Just place your core on the bubble side while lifting your arms and legs off the ground.

Partner moves are also an excellent way to train with the BOSU ball. Use a medicine ball and stand with the flat side up. Have your partner toss the ball to you, add a squat and toss it back.

Once you get the hang of using a BOSU ball, the possibilities are endless.

Again, start out carefully, hold your core tight and stay focused on good form. Have fun, be safe and condition that body.

Many of our artists enjoy quite a following of shoppers and this is a chance for you to see what delights you might scoop up from your favorite artist for someone special on your gift list. Plus, the relaxed atmosphere of the event allows shoppers to talk with artists about their work and to learn more about the

CCAC is pleased to welcome several new artists to this year’s event including Laura McCormick who creates steampunk jewelry.

Laura says “It’s exciting to be involved with a group of people who genuinely appreciate and celebrate art.

The Cattaraugus County Arts Council has opened doors for me to friendships and networking opportunities with other talented artists and art enthusiasts who share ideas and delight in artistic expression.

I greatly look forward to participating in the Winter Arts Festival.”
