During the December 2017 meeting of the Town Board (TB), Brooke Szpaicher was ratified to the Joint Fire Commission. This was the last in the approval process as Szpaicher was ratified by the Village Board during their December meeting. The meeting opened with a Public Hearing on Local Law #2 of 2017 – “Code of Ethics.” There was no one from the public to speak so the hearing was left open for most of the meeting. Next, the TB made a motion to approve the minutes from the November 2017 meeting; there was a second and they were approved.

One of Cattaraugus County’s Oldest Businesses Gets $500,000 Grant By Rick Miller
One of Cattaraugus County’s oldest businesses received word this month it would receive a $500,000 grant to help it become more efficient and more competitive. Fitzpatrick & Weller of Ellicottville, founded in 1895, had been planning to make renovations including the replacement of some of the companies wood kilns, president Greg Fitzpatrick said in an interview last week. The company, which consists of a kiln drying and parts business, as well as a separate processing facility, has 98 employees. That’s down steeply from those who worked here in the 1970s and 1980s when the region’s furniture manufacturing was still strong. Most of that is gone now. Now, half the kiln dried wood at Fitzpatrick & Weller goes to China. “We’re planning to do quite a renovation and upgrading,” Fitzpatrick said. “The governor said he wants to help manufacturing so we applied for the CFA grant. We don’t know much about the details yet. That will be explained in a meeting with Empire State Development officials in Buffalo next month.” The estimated $5 million project would be done in three phases over thee to five years. It would include the demolition of some of the firm’s older kilns. There are now 11 kilns that run on steam generated by a giant sawdust-fired boiler. Kiln temperatures up to 160 degrees drive water out of the wood. “We’ll have fewer kilns but an increased capacity,” Fitzpatrick said. “We’d like to have 50 percent more capacity.” The new kilns will be more efficient and use less energy to get the wood’s moisture content down to 7 percent.

Greg Fitzpatrick, president of Fitzpatrick & Weller Co., stands in the firm’s Ellicottville warehouse of kiln dried hardwood lumber and cut to specifications. A project to expand the company’s capacity and retain its 98 employees received news of a $500,000 state grant last week.
“This is a positive project,” said Fitzpatrick. It is designed to ensure the company will be around for decades to come. Fitzpatrick & Weller isn’t a sawmill. It receives most of its rough-sawn green lumber from the Amish. The stacks of rough lumber are kiln dried before being custom cut and placed in inventory in a huge Mill Street warehouse. “A fair amount will go toward demolition” of existing kilns, said Dana Fitzpatrick, chairman of the board at Fitzpatrick & Weller. “We’re keeping the business here.” One of the company’s customers, Cutco in Olean, buys knife blocks for its high-end knife sets. However, the region’s hardwood maple, oak, cherry and ash are wellknown internationally. With the amount of hardwood resources in Western New York, Greg Fitzpatrick said the company expects to be around for a long time. Fitzpatrick & Weller, which was previously located on Rochester Street in Salamanca until the mid-1950s, spent most of its early history providing
hard maple forms for shoes called a “shoe last,” which was used by shoe companies as forms for their hand-sewn shoes. Hard maple wood was used because it was stable. In 1965, a plastic form for shoes started taking over the shoe last business. Fitzpatrick & Weller diversified into making wooden bowling pins, then other products and services including forest management. “Most family companies don’t survive 120 years,” Greg Fitzpatrick said. “I think we’re in the top 5 for the oldest family company in Western New York. There are 3 million board feet of lumber, about 300 truckloads, sitting inside and outside the company’s kilns at any one time. The “market just in time” policy means when it’s ordered, it’s ready. The kiln dried lumber is also used to make a number of value added products and parts for cabinets. The company has a large processing facility is located in the former York Merit building in the village.
Fitzpatrick & Weller Co. chairman Dana Fitzpatrick (left) and president Greg Fitzpatrick are planning a large investment in the Ellicottville lumber firm including new kilns to dry wood. The company, one of the oldest in Cattaraugus County, used to provide maple forms for shoes until 1965 when plastic shoe forms took over the market. The company received a $500,000 state grant earlier this month to help improve the company’s kiln capacity.

abilities whenever the resort is open, and this season, the Snowsports School will be led by co-directors Bob Armour and Allie Doro, They will oversee the 285-member school, which includes instructors and coaches for the Children’s Ski and Snowboard School, the Adult Ski and Snowboard School, the Lounsbury Adaptive Program, as well the Holiday Valley Race Team, Freestyle Team, Snowboard Team and Master’s Program. Lessons are not just for kids, and it’s not necessary to feel self conscious about starting a snowsport when you’re past your teenage years. Many people learn each year as adults. “You’re never too old to start and there’s always an opportunity to improve,” Armour said.
As in years past, Holiday Valley will be offering some great deals for adults (those ages 12 and up) in January. All month long, Learn to Ski or Ride packages (which include a rental, beginner lift ticket and lesson) are half off. The Bring a Friend deal will give your friend half off the Learn to Ski or Ride package and you get a voucher for half off your lift ticket on your next visit. Or, if you stay at the Inn at Holiday Valley Sunday-Thursday, you can get a free Learn to Ski or Ride package. For those hesitant to start, Doro said, “It’s always worth trying, and our instructors will provide an atmosphere where you feel safe to learn. Learning to ski or snowboard can be transformational for a person or a family, and it
will change your whole winter!” At HoliMont, in January only, they are offering their Learn to Ski, Snowboard or Telemark special during the week for $85, which includes an hour and a half beginner lesson with lift ticket, lesson and basic equipment rental. (Bring a friend for same lesson for free.) Weekend (must be signed in as a guest at HoliMont) Learn to Ski, Snowboard or Telemark Private Lesson for $135. Includes hour and a half lesson with basic rental. (Bring a friend for same lesson for free.) Join in the fun and get a jump start on 2018 by learning something new. There’s no better place to celebrate National Learn a Snowsport Month than in Ellicottville!
Holiday Valley Ladies Sweep the Competition in Season Opener LOCAL SK I R ACING
By Caitlin Croft
The junior alpine race season kicked off on Christmas Eve with the Ely Leene Christmas Slaloms. This race has become tradition for many first-year U16 athletes as it is their first chance to get points and they are challenged by having to compete against U19/U21 and Seniors. In ski racing, the lower your
points are, the better of a skier you are. Think golf and handicaps— the lower your handicap, the better the golfer you are. This race held at Brantling in Sodus, NY consisted of two full races, four individual runs each with a different course set. Holiday Valley (HV) U16 ladies broke out with a strong showing with
Logan Fredrickson taking gold, followed by Lauren Thomas, Sierra Cappelli and Hayly Fredrickson. Next up was fellow HV athlete Caroline Derose in 16th. For the U21/U19 ladies, HV’s Taylor Hubert finished 9th. On the men’s side for the first race, U19/U21 Nathan Briselden walked away with a bronze medal. Joshua Allegra, also of Holiday
Valley, finished 15th. U16 Ross Fuller (HV) finished 14th in his age division. For the second race, the U16 ladies once again swept 1st through 4th, finishing in the same order: Logan Fredrickson 1st, Lauren Thomas 2nd, Sierra Cappelli 3rd and Hayly Fredrickson 4th. Caroline Derose improved her second run finishing in an impressive
13th after starting from the back of the pack. U21/U19 Taylor Hubert finished in 8th place and Phoebe Dunn finished 13th. In the second race for the men, Briselden improved upon his third place finish taking the silver medalm with Allegra finishing 12th. For the U16 menm Dalton Potter of Holiday Valley finished 10th
with teammates Mitchell Azcarate, Ross Fuller and William Dunn finishing 13th, 20th and 32nd, respectively. The next race for the U16/21/19 athletes will be held at HoliMont on New Year’s Eve.

Celebrate the Season: Fun Ways to Ring in the New Year
By Mary Heyl
2018 is just days away! Whether you’re celebrating with family, a close group of friends, or the whole neighborhood, welcoming the New Year is an exciting moment. Make it even more special with tasty foods that don’t require a fork, delicious drinks and fun decorating ideas that will put you in the spirit, even if Christmas has left you totally exhausted! Love lasagna but don’t want to host a sitdown meal? Try Lauren Miashiro’s Lasagna Bites, which are easy to serve and vegetarian-friendly! Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook 6 lasagna noodles until al dente. Drain and lay them flat on the baking sheet. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of ricotta cheese, 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of parsley. Mix until well combined and then season with salt and pepper. Cut the lasagna noodles in half crosswise. Spread a thin layer of the ricotta mixture onto each noodle and roll them up. Cut the rolled lasagna noodle in half crosswise. Place the lasagna bites onto the greased baking sheet. Spoon 1 cup of marinara sauce onto each lasagna bite and sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Bake until cheese has melted and the lasagna bites are warmed through (about 15 to 20 minutes). Garnish with parsley and serve warm (serves 8). There’s more to enjoy on New Year’s Eve than just a glass of champagne! Try Lindsay Funston’s Prosecco Grapesicles—a festive treat for all of your guests age 21 and older! Wash one pound of red and green seedless grapes
and put them on skewer sticks. Place the skewers in a shallow baking dish and pour half a bottle of Prosecco or champagne and 1 cup of vodka over them. Let the skewers soak for 1 hour. Drain the liquid (save for cocktails, if you like!) and place the skewers in the freezer until frozen (at least 2 hours). Just before your guests arrive, place the skewers on a serving platter and enjoy. Valerie Cain Cuff’s Luscious Slush Punch is a delicious alcohol-free drink that every member of the family will love, and you probably already have many of the ingredients at home! Bring 2 ½ cups of sugar, 6 cups of water, and 2 packages (3 oz. each) of strawberry flavored gelatin mix to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, then stir in 1 can
(46 oz.) of pineapple juice, 2/3 cup of lemon juice and 1 quart of orange juice. Divide the mixture into 2 separate containers and freeze. In a punch bowl, combine the contents of 1 container with 1 bottle of lemon-lime flavored soda. Stir until slushy. When the punch bowl is empty (it won’t be long!), repeat with the other container and a second bottle of soda. Make your punch or appetizer table just as festive as the treats you’re serving! Make your own confetti by taking a hole punch (try a shaped punch, like a star) to your leftover scraps of metallic gift wrap and sprinkle on the tables. Take it to the next level by printing some of your favorite photos of friends and family taken in 2017. Use a shot glass or star shaped cookie cutter to trace and cut out circles of everyone’s smiling faces. Mix these confetti photos with the rest of the confetti on the table for a festive and personal touch! If you’re hosting a more formal, sit-down dinner for New Year’s Eve, give your table some timely décor. Head to a nearby second hand store or dollar store and get an assortment of clocks, big and small. Place one at each guest’s table setting or directly on the plate in honor of the countdown to the New Year! Or, take a page from Martha Stewart’s playbook and arrange the clocks on your fireplace mantel for some New Year’s flair. Set each clock (without batteries) to just a few minutes before midnight. If you’re feeling ambitious, put batteries in each clock and set the times/alarms so that they all go off at midnight to literally ring in the New Year!

Mental Health Resolutions
By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
I don’t know about you, but for me, 2017 was a stressful year. I am not a fan of the “new normal” of political incorrectness or the strange way we have been forced to accept one person’s ridiculous rhetoric while condemning anyone else that speaks out against this nonsense. How can we sit idle while many of our hard fought rights are becoming endangered? Politics used to be something I could talk about with my clients— now it is taboo. So instead of focusing our New Year’s resolutions on improving physical health, what if you focused on mental health this year?
While the culture at large often dismisses mental selfcare, in part because of the stigma against those facing mental illness, emotional well-being should be a priority for everyone. Mental health affects how you think, feel and act on a daily basis, as well as influences how you handle stress, make decisions and connect with others. If you’re set on making a vow for improvement next year, add mental health to the top of your priority list. Here are some easy ways to do that: We can start the New Year by being more present in each and every day. Let’s begin by putting down our phones and connecting more with people than technology.
Our culture is all about 24 hour information, the streaming of news that is fake and real at a rapid pace so that no one knows what to believe. And, this does not apply to just adults either. My 15- yearold son sat on his phone all day long on Christmas Day, commenting on the number of presents he saw under all of his Snap chat friends stories!? So, at the top of the list of ways to improve mental health: 1. Stop comparing yourself to others. 2. Appreciate what you have and enjoy time alone. 3. Get outside. 4. Make fun a priority and laugh often. 5. Be kind, fair and unafraid to speak up. 6. Confide in only trustworthy people and learn from your mistakes. 7. Say “no” when you need to. 8. Make rest a priority and cut yourself some slack. Wake up each day knowing that you have a clean slate in front of you. You are responsible for your own well being— mental, physical and spiritual. Make it a priority to be positive and look at the bright side of things. And, if you can go to bed each night knowing that you lifted someone up rather than judge them and take them down, then you’ve done your job as a human being who understands not only the meaning of integrity, but, the effect it can have on a fellow human being.

by Debbie Macomber
Merry Knight is pretty busy these days. She’s taking care of her family, baking cookies and decorating for the holidays. Her own social life is the last thing she has in mind, much less a man. Until, without her knowledge, Merry’s well-meaning mom and brother create an online dating profile for her. Initially, Merry is incredulous, but she reluctantly decides to give it a whirl. Soon Merry finds herself chatting with a charming stranger, a man with similar interests and an unmistakably kind soul. Their online exchanges become the brightest part of her day. In this satisfying seasonal tale, unanticipated love is only a click away. 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.

During the Privilege of the Floor, Mary O’Leary the Director of Cattaraugus County Community Services, spoke regarding mental health services. The department serves 1,800 people in clinics, which vary depending on needs. Her goal is to collaborate to get the best emotional and physical health needed for an individual. If you need more information, contact the Town Clerk’s Office or go to their website http://www.cattco.org/ community-services. Following the presentation, the TB made a motion to pay the bills on Distribution Report #11-17; there was a second and motion was passed. During the Supervisor’s Reports, first on the table was the 2017 Financial Report. There was a motion to accept it, second and accepted. Discussion on the Four Flushers meeting entailed the meter pit on E. Washington along with the pit by the Town Center. Booster #1 is working well, leaks are much more stable and production has gone down. There was discussion on the Town/Village Public Works Position and the IMA Agreement. The Town Supervisor, Matt McAndrew, would like to change the pay scale to just state $115,000 per year instead of $110,000 per year for the first six months and $115,000 per year for the second six months of employment. He will speak with the mayor of the Village to re-work the agreement and this will have to go back in front of the Village Board and then back to the TB for approval. There was a motion to table this matter; second and tabled. The evidence/locker room project has been completed. Next, the supervisor asked John Zerfas to make his nomination to the TB on his appointment for the Town Planning Board. Zerfas nominated Caitlin Croft and spoke about the Town Planning Board’s reasoning for the appointment. There was a motion to appoint Croft to the Town Planning Board; a second and Croft was appointed. Next was the recognition of Rick Jackson as his time on the TB comes to an end. McAndrew thanked Jackson for all his hard work during his time on the TB. There was a motion to accept the clerk’s, justices’, building inspector’s, planner's and police reports; there was a second and they were approved. Don Auge spoke about his report.

Auge also advised on the acquisition of a new police vehicle, a 2018 Ford Explorer, as it is ready for pick up after the new year.

which will house yurts and two of which can be used as rec areas or tent sites. A common fire pit is set slightly away from the camp sites and is meant to encourage community among campers. Learn more at www. facebook.com/Ellicottville-Yurts-and-Recreation. In July, Ellicottville welcomed Tee Bar with a Twist, a group effort from Kim Reading of Mud Sweat ‘n’ Gears and Dina DiPasquale of Dina’s. The shop, located at 8 Washington Street (the former location of Katy’s) offers a variety of soft serve ice cream treats, as well as Ellicottville T-shirts. In September, Ellicottville welcomed a tasty new bakery—Cupcaked at 22 Monroe Street. Owner Annie Coe grew up baking with her grandmother, who taught her the fundamentals of baking, and turned her passion into a cupcakery that offers not only a wide selection of delectable cupckaes (including gluten free!) but also coffee and work from five local artists, which includes jewelry, wall hangings and more.
Coe also provides day of, month of and full event planning for anything from weddings to anniversary parties to bachelorettes. She will also do custom orders for gourmet cakes and cupcakes. In November, The Public House of Ellicottville took over the former Cadillac Jack’s at 24 Monroe Street. The Ellicottville location marks the third restaurant for Frank and Sara Testa, who also own The Public House on Hertel, The Public House on the Lake, located on Route 5 in Hamburg. All their products are made in house from the burgers to the crab cake, even the chicken fingers. “Pizza will be coming soon too!” she said. There will be weekly features that will typically include a steak, pasta and seafood options. Their prices are competitive and fit with their “craft casual dining” essence. They have 22 taps with an array of craft brews, along with 50 different selections of cans and bottles, which means even the pickiest of drinkers will find something to sip as they put away some of their famous beer clams or classic poutine. They can be reached at (716) 699-9001 or find them on social media: Instagram @publichouseellicottville and Facebook The Public House of Ellicottville. Be sure to stop in on your next visit, I am sure they will not
disappoint! EVL Area Gets $900K in Two Grants Nearly $3.8 million in grants for nine projects across Cattaraugus County were announced last week by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The Western New York Economic Development Council Awards include two projects in Ellicottville. They are: • $500,000 for Fitzpatrick & Weller to expand and renovate its hardwood and finished products company in Ellicottville. It will also replace kilns with state-of-the-art equipment to remain competitive, retain jobs and increase productivity; and • $400,000 for a joint shared engineering services project by the town and village of Ellicottville. It will establish a single engineering department with a full-time engineer working for both municipalities. The new office will oversee the DPW departments and consolidates three part-time positions into one. It will also reduce the need to hire outside engineers. Special events Ellicottville is known for its variety of events, happening year-round. In addition to the annual weekends EVL is known for like the Summer Music Festival, Taste of Ellicottville and Fall Festival, a new event was added this year—the Ellicottville Lacrosse Festival. The joint effort by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce and Rhino Lacrosse saw 38 teams from New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vermont, Canada, and other places around the region in September. With over 70 games played in two days in two local venues, the village was filled with players, their families and fans of the game. The event promises to be bigger and better in 2018. Local Government Kelly Frederickson was appointed as the new Code Enforcement Officer effective Sept. 1. Duties will also include building inspector responsibilities. Effective Aug. 31, 2017, current Code Enforcement Officer Tom Abriatis retired from his part-time position (with the village and the town). Abriatis held the position since December 2000. Harold Morton submitted his letter of intent to retire, effective Aug. 31, 2017. Morton worked for the village of Ellicottville since January 1987, retiring as DPW Superintendent. In 2016, Chris Woodarek replaced the roof on the Village Park stadium, along with other buildings, with materials bought by the Village of Ellicottville. This summer, all the boards on the seating area of the stadium were replaced by village DPW crews. All that is left is to seal the boards. The stadium will seat up to 250 spectators. Additional work may include enclosing a storage area and constructing a concession stand. There are currently 55 memorial benches around the village, with requests for at least three more. Over the summer, the village DPW crew replaced the aging wood on all the benches with new tight-knotted cedar wood. ECS As the new school year began, some changes were in store for ECS. New ECS Superintendent Bob Miller first started working in the Ellicottville School District in July 2005 as the Middle School/High School Principal. On July 1, he began his term as the Superintendent, filling the shoes of former Superintendent Mark Ward, who retired after 42 years in education. Filling Miller’s spot as middle school and high school principal is Erich Ploetz. Ploetz, an Ellicottville native, was the Junior Senior High School Principal at North Collins and a former Assistant High School Principal in Williamsville. He will receive a probationary term of four years, which began on July 31, 2017. Be sure to enjoy all Ellicottville has to offer as we head into 2018—there’s always something going on!

Croft Appointed to Welcome to Town Planning Board Ellicottville’s Ski Country
By Alicia Dziak
Last week, Caitlin Croft was appointed to Ellicottville’s Town Planning Board. The position was open after a vacancy was left by the resignation of another board member. “The seat was open due to a resignation, which was perfect timing for me as I have been itching to get involved for some time now,” Croft said. “I happen to cover the Town Planning Board meetings for this great publication and that is how I initially found out. One week later I updated and submitted my resume.” Croft is no stranger to
Ellicottville, and if you live or play in EVL, you’ve probably seen her around or at least recognize her name. “Currently, I assist Cathleen Pritchard and Melanie Pritchard of ERA Team VP Real Estate and am a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson. In addition to the day time gig, I write for the Ellicottville Times and Springville Times, Snowed-In and The Summer Local,” Croft said. “I also bartend a Finnerty’s Tap Room on Thursdays and have coached ski racing at Holiday Valley for five seasons now. Working in so many different atmospheres I feel

I am able to communicate effectively with a vast cross section of people. Also, being a local-ish transplant, I can identify with all of the types of people that are attracted to this amazing area.” Croft said her desire to be part of the Town Planning Board came from her passion for this community. “When I was very young traveling to Alpine Ski Races at Holiday Valley or HoliMont, my mom would always wake me up just as we got to the double lanes by Plato Road. When we hit the Silver Fox billboard, it would wash over me— ‘I am in Ellicottville!’” she said. “There is something unique about this area that pulls you to it.” Corft, who has covered Village Planning Board meetings for the Ellicottville Times for a few years, said, “I knew this was something I wanted to be involved in one day after the first month (I covered a meeting). Recently, I was given the opportunity to cover the other three boards (Town Board, Village Board and Town Planning

Letter from the Editor As we head into 2018, and I turn yet another year older today, it’s a good time to reflect on the past year. For me, 2017 was a reality check of time flying as I continue to watch my daughters grow (the younger of whom is now taller than me!). The little girls that once occupied my house and time have turned into busy young ladies with their own lives and interests, but I’m fortunate we still get to spend a lot of time together, doing everything from soccer to skiing to getting facials in town. The past year has given me even more appreciation of the great outdoors, and whether we’re spending time at Holiday Valley or Allegany State Park, the natural beauty of this area never ceases to amaze me. We are spoiled in WNY, and I love how many opportunities there are to enjoy it all. I’ve loved every minute of being the editor of this paper—the best part is getting the chance to meet the wonderful people that make Ellicottville the place to be yearround. Whether it’s the entertainment, the sports, the shopping or just the friendly, laid back atmosphere, how can you not want to be here every chance you get? Thank you for all being a part of it too, and for everything you do to make it that way. As 2017 comes to a close, I want to wish you a very Happy New Year! I hope to see you in 2018. Enjoy every moment! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Ellicottville Times

Croft looks forward to the year ahead. “My initial goals are to learn,” she said. “There is a wealth of knowledge on the Town Planning Board and having the chance to learn from this board is an experience I look forward to.”
Croft will finish out the remainder of the vacant term serving until the end of 2018. “When that time comes I hope my year of experience will deem me even more qualified to continue to serve,” she stated.
