Control and Prevention warns that the COVID-19 virus spreads more easily indoors than outdoors.

So gathering around the television to watch the ball drop in Times Square as you count down to the new year may put celebrants’ health in jeopardy. If you want to gather with loved ones, do so earlier in the day and gather outdoors when the weather figures to be much warmer than it will be at midnight. A champagne toast around a backyard firepit can serve as a standin for midnight toasts.

• Hit the road. Travel restrictions may dictate where people can safely celebrate New Year’s Eve, but if large gatherings with friends are prohibited this year, families can plan getaways. New Year’s Eve is on a Thursday this year, and many offices will be closed on the following Friday in observance of the New Year’s Day holiday. That makes it an ideal weekend to get out of town. Many vacation rental services like VRBO and Airbnb have introduced guidelines to

Unique ways to celebrate New Year’s Eve during the pandemic

New Year’s Eve is a highly anticipated day on many people’s calendars.

Social schedules tend to be busy during the holiday season, and that typically culminates on December 31, when people across the globe gather to say goodbye to one year and welcome in a new one.

Much of the world is no doubt ready to put 2020 in its rearview mirror, but New Year’s Eve celebrations will almost certainly have to be scaled back this year. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways people gather socially, so traditional New Year’s Eve parties likely won’t be in the cards as the world turns the calendar from 2020 to 2021.

Raucous parties might not be on the docket this December 31, but that does not mean people cannot still celebrate the end of what’s proven to be a very challenging year.

• Don’t wait until midnight.

Many people love to be around friends and family as the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve. But the Centers for Disease

Steamburg Little Valley

address health and safety concerns prospective travelers may have. Before booking a getaway, contact hosts to determine what they’re doing to make their rentals safe for renters.

• Celebrate over and over again. One unique way to see 2020 to the door and usher in 2021 is to celebrate throughout the day and night as various areas of the world officially close the book on 2020. The Pacific island nations of Tonga, Samoa and Kiribati are the first countries to ring in the new year, and they will do so at what will be 5:00 a.m. on December 31 in New York. Many countries across the globe ring in the New Year before residents of North America, so North Americans can make a day of sending 2020 into the history books and celebrate each time a new country reaches 2021.

New Year’s celebrations figure to be different as the world ushers in 2021. But there are many unique ways to celebrate that can make New Year’s Eve just as fun as it’s always been.

WNY Tech Skills Initiative launched Historic Hollywood Theater in Gowanda streaming concert as fundraiser

BUFFALO — Western New Yorkers who have been affected economically by the pandemic can now register for free tech and digital skills courses through the WNY Tech Skills Initiative.

Launched by M&T Bank in response to persistent unemployment and underemployment exacerbated by the pandemic, the WNY Tech Skills Initiative will offer virtual training experiences that connect community members with access to indemand skills. The training is for people interested in careers in technology, as well as those who want to gain digital skills to make themselves more marketable when pursuing jobs in other fields. ”So many of our friends, family members and neighbors have experienced economic hardships amid the pandemic. We need to rally together as a community to provide opportunities that foster an inclusive recovery,” said Mike Wisler, chief information officer at M&T Bank. “The WNY Tech Skills Initiative will help people gain new strengths in critical areas, from data analysis to coding to digital marketing, which many companies urgently need right now.”

M&T Bank has engaged General Assembly, a globally known pioneer in

career transformation, as the educational partner for its Tech Academy, the program that will oversee the WNY Tech Skills Initiative. With input from regional stakeholders, General Assembly will lead the development and administration of the Tech Academy’s skills training and instructional programming.

The WNY Tech Skills Initiative will be guided by a regional coalition that includes M&T, Empire State Development, TechBuffalo, Buffalo Urban League, Goodwill of Western New York, Rich Products, the University at Buffalo Regional Institute, Lighthouse Technology Services, the City of Buffalo, the Buffalo Employment & Training Center, and the Erie County Department of Social Services.

The initiative’s free courses and workshops will be provided by General Assembly. ”TechBuffalo is excited to be a part of leading an effort that aligns so well with our mission to attract, retain and develop tech talent in Western New York. This coalition isn’t just growing the technology ecosystem, but we are helping spark the regional economy,” said TechBuffalo Executive Director James Partsch, Jr. “A skilled technology workforce is key to unlocking possibilities for startups,

legacy businesses, and organizations of all sizes.

This is one of many efforts that will transform the traditional workforce into a tech-forward one. Most importantly, the emerging opportunities will be accessible to all, reaching underrepresented people, individuals impacted by the pandemic, and those already part of the ecosystem.”

The coalition plans to engage community organizations throughout the region to help identify and support potential students for the program, with a focus on people experiencing job loss or a reduction in hours due to COVID-19 and underrepresented groups in technology, such as women, people of color and veterans.

The virtual training programs will be free for residents of Erie, Niagara, Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua counties.

The WNY Tech Skills Initiative will include three learning phases: —Open access, selfled skills training that introduces participants to various technology and digital skill areas, such as data analysis, digital marketing, UX design and software engineering.

—Virtual tech skill workshops, that is, onehour to day-long courses that allow for tech career

path exploration through foundational training.

—Virtual upskilling programs, that is, part-time, instructor-led courses that offer advanced training for careers in tech.

Initially, the openaccess, self-led skills training will be available for up to 3,000 people, with subsequent training phases made available soon after students complete a portion of phase one training. Candidates for the virtual upskilling programs will be reviewed by General Assembly for eligibility based on participation in the first two phases and proficiency in applicable technology skills.

The launch of the WNY Tech Skills Initiative follows M&T’s recent announcement of its Z Development Program (ZDP), a tech apprenticeship that creates a pathway to a career as a technologist who supports missioncritical banking functions that run on the IBM Z platform. The WNY Tech Skills Initiative will provide access to a broader range of technology skills and can serve as a first step toward several different career paths across industries.

For more information or to enroll in the WNY Tech Skills Initiative, visit techbuffalo.org/wny-techskills-initiative or text SKILLS to 716-710-6901.

Major progress in Gowanda’s Gateway Park in 2020

By Bill Peglowski Before we leave 2020 behind, it’s worth taking a look at the progress that was made at Gowanda’s Gateway Park this year.

Located on the site of the former Peter Cooper Glue Factory, Gateway Park is in transition from a postindustrial hazardous waste site to a beautiful 26-acre park which one day will be a center of activity for both village residents and tourists.

The site became a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site after the closing of the glue factory. Then, in 2009, the site was taken over by the Gowanda Area Redevelopment Corporation (GARC) with the mission to clean up the area and develop it into a

community park facility.

The focus was on cleanup until 2016 when it shifted to the first signs of the development phase. With the first grass covered area established at the northwest end of the park, an Amish-built gazebo became the first sign of development. The large, 24-foot by 24-foot building became a base station for the first recreational activities at the park.

In 2018, a large play structure was added. As the years went by a softball field was also added bit by bit. Additional areas have continually been filled, leveled and seeded with grass. There has also been an ongoing addition of new trees to the growing park.

In 2020 came the biggest changes to date. An

October ceremony marked the official removal of the park from the U.S. E.P.A. Superfund list. There were also two big projects in 2020 with the focus of activity moving to the southeast end of the park. Two large concrete structures have recently been completed.

The first is a large amphitheater facing the Cattaraugus Creek. Another similar amphitheater is planned for Creekside Park which is off the Gowanda Shop’N Save parking lot.

The other major addition to Gateway Park is a concrete small craft launch ramp at

GOWANDA — Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater is hosting a streaming performance through Jan. 12 from the nearly restored theater.

“We are all aware of the effect that the pandemic has had on our lives, businesses and performance venues,” said Deb Harris, grant and project administrator.

“Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater is no exception,” Harris said. “The seats remain empty, but the utility bills continue to come.”

A special fundraising event was created by Gowanda native Jacob Swanson, a saxophonist, Harris said.

“Throughout November, Swanson spent time playing music in Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater,” she said. “The purpose was to create a prerecorded digital recital that would highlight the venue’s beautiful details as it nears restored completion,” Harris said.

Pairing music by Marc Mellits, Nathan Hall (also originally from Gowanda), Tristan Keuris, Alois Haba and Johann Sebastian Bach with scenes from around the Hollywood, the project strives to highlight the stunning architecture and design characteristics of the nearly century-old theater, she said.

The music is a collection of solo works Swanson has been playing since March when most live concerts were canceled or postponed. He uses the

four most common voices in the saxophone family: soprano, alto, tenor and baritone.

“I wanted the program to be accessible while still inviting the audience to experience music they may be less familiar with,” Swanson said.

“I specifically chose the two Bach pieces for the beginning and end because they have a comforting quality to them,” he said.

“Bach’s musical language is strong and familiar and I find it universally glorious on all instruments – but especially the saxophone.”

Harris said the concert concert has been receiving enthusiast reviews: Cleveland Classical calls Swanson’s performance ‘stellar’, and goes on to say, “What makes this performance more than a sonic experience, is the accompanying videography

by Jill Swanson, Sarah Marchitelli and Jacob Swanson himself.

The spectacular visual journey beautifully captures the architectural grandeur of the Historic Hollywood Theater.”

The digital concert runs through Jan. 12 with a $10 streaming ticket.

Tickets and information can be found at www. gowandahollywoodtheater. com or www.jacobswanson. com.

All proceeds go to the continued restoration efforts of Gowanda’s Historic Hollywood Theater.

AUTO CORNER Signs of unsafe driving in older drivers

A license to drive has long been symbolic of independence. Teenage drivers long for the day they earn their licenses and can take to the road without mom or dad riding shotgun, while aging drivers want to keep driving as long as possible so they can come and go as they please in their golden years.

There’s no formula drivers and their families can employ to determine when it’s time to take the car keys away from senior citizens.

Thankfully, fatal collisions involving older drivers have declined considerably in recent decades. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, collision-related fatalities among drivers ages 70 and older declined by 15 percent between 1997 and 2018. A host of factors have no doubt contributed to that decline, including laneassist technology and forward collision warning systems that have become standard offerings on many modern vehicles.

As much as technology has helped make driving safer for everyone, aging drivers should still keep an eye out for certain signs that may indicate their skills behind the wheel are diminishing and potentially compromising their ability to drive safely. According to AARP, the following are warning signs of unsafe driving. · Delayed response to unexpected situations: Frequent close calls and narrowly avoiding collisions when other drivers stop suddenly indicate reduced response time that can put aging drivers at an elevated risk of being involved in an accident. · Becoming easily distracted while driving: Distracted driving has become a significant concern in recent decades, but it’s often associated with young drivers. However, aging drivers who are easily distracted also pose a safety risk to themselves and other motorists. · Decrease in confidence while driving: Only drivers will know if they feel confident enough to drive safely, and it’s vital that aging drivers be honest with themselves when assessing how they feel when driving. · Having difficulty moving into or maintaining the correct lane of traffic: Lane-assist technology can help drivers recognize how often they’re staying in the correct lane of traffic. When the warning bell goes off frequently, it might be time for older drivers to reconsider if it’s safe for them to be behind the wheel. · Hitting curbs when making right turns or backing up: Hitting curbs when turning or backing up indicates drivers may be having difficulty controlling their vehicles and/or seeing the road, both of which indicate it’s no longer safe for drivers to get behind the wheel. · Getting scrapes or dents on car, garage or mailbox: These signs

also indicate drivers are having trouble controlling their vehicles. · Driving too fast or too slow for road conditions: This indicate drivers are not as alert to their surroundings as they need to be t stay safe on the road.

It’s not easy for aging drivers to relinquish their drivers’ licenses Learning to recognize potential warning signs of unsafe driving ca help aging drivers make the safest decisions for themselves, the passengers and their fellow motorists.

Ellicottville senior nominated for Scholars Program

Farmers may ask to be included in Cattaraugus County Agriculture District LITTLE VALLEY — Farmers wishing to be included in the Cattaraugus County Combined Agricultural District may submit a request for inclusion between Jan. 2 and 31, 2021.

Cattaraugus County currently has farms with more than 239,900 acres in its agricultural district.

There is an annual 30-day period to apply for inclusion.

An agricultural district is designed to forestall the conversion of farmland to non-agricultural uses.

The program is based on a combination of landowner incentives and protections.

There are 174 agricultural districts statewide, containing 25,673 farms.

Benefits include protections against overly restrictive local laws, government funded

acquisition or construction projects, and private nuisance suits involving agricultural practices.

Landowners seeking inclusion into a certified agricultural district must submit a “Landowner Request for Inclusion” form to the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism by the Jan. 31 deadline.

To request a paper form, contact Patrick McGlew, at (716) 938-2387. Forms and information are available at: https://www.CattCo. org/2021-ag-district A public hearing will be scheduled at a later date to consider all inclusion requests and the related recommendations of the Cattaraugus County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board.

Little Valley library continues some services amid pandemic

December 31, 2020

ELLICOTTVILLE — Alexander Hunt, a senior at Ellicottville Central School, has been nominated as a candidate for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program.

State Sen. George M. Borrello recommended Hunt for the program based on his academic and athletic achievements and his community service.

Hunt is one of 20 nominees from New York State for the national 2021 Presidential Scholars Program.

“Alex has the drive and determination to be successful in whatever path he follows in college and beyond,” Borrello, R-Chautauqua County, said.

“He excels academically and athletically while

making service to others a priority in his life.”

The senator noted Hunt is ranked first in his class and will graduate from Ellicottville with 52 college credits.

His nomination was confirmed by Betty A. Rosa, the interim commissioner of the state’s Department of Education.

The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars selects honored scholars annually based on their academic success, artistic excellence, essays, school evaluations and transcripts, as well as evidence of community service, leadership and demonstrated commitment to high ideals. Application is by invitation only.

Students chosen as U.S. Presidential Scholars receive a trip to Washington, D.C. in June and the U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House.

LIBRARY information

By Deb Everts LITTLE VALLEY — The Memorial Library of Little Valley has continued to serve the community throughout this year’s coronavirus pandemic.

Although most of its programs have been canceled, the library still offers interesting displays along with thousands of books and media for patron enjoyment.

Director Linda McCubbin said the staff is following CDC requirements, currently limiting five patrons in the building at one time, plus three staff members. Everyone must wear masks and social distance.

When they enter, people have their temperatures taken then sanitize their hands and sign in.

Although the library has 11 public computers, McCubbin said only three can be used at one time with social distancing.

After every computer is used, it gets sanitized. The bathrooms are kept locked and are also sanitized after each use.

McCubbin said people shouldn’t panic if the library system is telling them returned materials are late because they are quarantined for 96 hours to assure they’re COVIDfree when others check them out. For people who prefer a no-contact way to get and return their books and movies, there are shepherds hooks out front.

Up until just a few weeks ago, the library offered a story time to small groups of children but, with the COVID-19 numbers rising, McCubbin said that has been discontinued.

Although it’s been impossible for the library to have any programs, McCubbin has assembled some craft kits to send home with the kids who visit. She plans to hand them out along with candy canes during the holiday.

“Our library has made the policy that if (Cattaraugus County goes) yellow, we won’t allow any kids in the building. We will limit the capacity from five to three people at one time, plus our staff,” she said. “If the county should go orange, there will be only one staff member and myself here.

There will be no entrance and our service will be curbside only. If the county goes red, we’ll have to close.”

McCubbin said there’s a concept held by many people that libraries are a thing of the past and are no longer needed because they have the internet as their major source of information.

“A library isn’t just a place to come to read a book,” she said. “It’s also a great resource for research. Our staff knows how to find almost anything.”

Having access to CCLS online has made a difference. McCubbin said their patrons have averaged 40 books a year in the past but that number has doubled to over 100 per patron in the last eight months. She said the library previously had approximately 2,500 books available and now they have a selection of over 7,000 audio and ebooks.

According to McCubbin, the library has all the top new releases of books and over 2,000 movies.

Anything they don’t have at the library, she can get from another library through CCLS. Like many not-for-profit organizations, the library is suffering from the loss of funds due, in part, to the inability to have fundraisers.

McCubbin said they are fortunate to be open because their savings are no longer in existence. The library is surviving day to day through the generosity of its patrons and the tax levy that was passed in May of this year. She said they have received more memorials this year, but the facility is still down about $5,000.

Many of the library’s patrons support the facility in any way they can. McCubbin said these generous patrons sell handmade items including cookies, a Christmas tree, jewelry and knitted accessories, then donate their proceeds to the library.

Despite many setbacks, the library has come a long way in the past five years.

Through several grants and fundraising, the two buildings located next door were purchased in 2017 and torn down in 2018 to make way for a much-needed parking lot. However, during the demolition process, asbestos was unexpectedly discovered in one of the buildings and it was very costly to have it removed.

In July 2019, a major flood hit the town causing extensive damage to many structures including the library building, which was also costly to clean up and renovate. Since then, a handicap entrance has been added and a new roof.

Several recent upgrades include a new security system and a new, forced-air gas furnace to save money

on utilities. McCubbin said the furnace was installed Dec. 9 and features an ultraviolet filtration system that sanitizes the air as it flows through killing viruses.

She said a new generator has also been purchased.

“We are now a warming and cooling center in Cattaraugus County, but we will also be like a communication center if we were ever to lose everything,” she said.

A collection of handcrafted wooden bowls and vases made by Cattaraugus artisan Wayne Matthies is currently on display. McCubbin said some of the multiple-turned and mitered vessels have over 5,000 pieces in them.

The library is currently operating under regular hours and is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.

For more information about library services and how to contribute to the fundraising efforts, call the library at 938-6301.
