Your Turn Women’s Clinic at Holiday Valley
GOING SKI CLUBBIN’: AN ECS TRADITION By Louisa Benatovich Student Reporter
Skiing is an Ellicottville institution, plain and simple. It is the fuel on which our town runs. It’s the air we breathe. Many Ellicottville Central School students proclaim that they learned to ski before they could walk. Almost all snow athletes at ECS trace their snow roots back to one event in their scholastic career: Ski Club. Winter wouldn’t be winter without the weekly “Ski club — meet in the cafeteria after school” announcements.

U14 Holiday Valley, HoliMont athletes dominate weekend races By Caitlin Croft Youth Ski Racing continued last weekend with the U14 Excelsior Cup opening series. This consisted of two Giant Slaloms where athletes from across Western and Central New York gathered to compete. Mother Nature couldn’t have been kinder to Truxton and Labrador Mountain. It was ideal bluebird skies and cold crisp temperatures in the teens. This allows for the best possible surfaces in a ski race and also allows course setters to get more creative without worry of a track being broken down because they throw in a trick turn or two. HoliMont and Holiday Valley athletes stacked up well against athletes in Central New York. Day One: Women: HoliMont’s Mary Catherine Mangan took home the gold with teammate Madalyn Cummings finishing with the silver medal. Charlotte Branscombe (HO) placed 5th, Alexandra Smillie (HV) 7th, Francesca Ferrara (HO) 8th, Carissa Dunlap (HO) 9th, Leah Smillie (HV) 10th and Charlotte Harter (HV) 13th.

Men: Erik Shattenberg of Holiday Valley walked away with the silver medal only missing out on the gold by .04 seconds overall. Carson Corey (HV) found himself on the podium with the bronze. HoliMont’s Maxwell Burget placed 7th, Buck Rathbun (HO) 8th, Dougie Basadur (HO) 9th and Hans Solly (HO) 12th.

Charlotte Branscome (HO) took 5th, Francesca Ferrara (HO) 6th, Carissa Dunlap (HO) 7th, Alexandra Smillie (HV) 8th and Leah Smillie (HV) 10th.

GIRLS DAY OUT
The clinic includes two days of coaching and demo equipment. Participants can enjoy breakfast and lunch each day plus dinner on Thursday. Specially priced lift tickets will also be available. Intermediate through advanced level skiers — those who can comfortably ski blues and some black diamonds slopes — will benefit from this clinic. The clinic will begin at 8 a.m. Thursday with registration and breakfast. Pre-registration is advised as attendance is limited. For decades Ballard has been involved in many aspects of the ski world. As a member of the U.S. Ski Team in the late 1970s and a six-year veteran of the Women’s Pro Ski Tour in the 1980s, she has competed in ski racing for most of her life. Today, Ballard is a standout on the master’s circuit with four world titles and 76 national titles across all alpine disciplines. She has been the number-one ranked skier in her age group and a member of the U.S. Alpine Masters Ski Team since she joined the master’s circuit 1991. In addition to competitions, Ballard has been a highly regarded ski instructor and coach for over 20 years. During the 1990s, she was the instruction editor for Snow Country and then Mountain Sports & Living magazines, introducing and refining ski technique on shaped skis in the United
Continued from front page
States. She was director of the Snow Country Ski Schools and later the RSN Alpine Excellence training centers in conjunction with the PSIA Alpine Demo Team. At the same time, Ballard founded the Head-Subaru Women’s Ski Clinics which have now become the Your Turn Women’s Ski Events. Over 6,000 women have had breakthroughs in their skiing while taking her clinics. Ballard has also coached numerous junior and adult race programs over her long career and is currently director of the master’s program and a coach for FIS-level racers at her home mountain in Red Lodge, Mont. She has served as a consultant to many ski gear manufacturers and ski resorts on their women’s products and programs, and she periodically speaks on women’s skiing topics at national ski trade events.

Former West Valley Hotel hoping for summer opening
Photo by Alex Simmons The former West Valley Hotel has been in a state of renovation for the past couple of years, but that could all be over soon as a summer 2019 opening is the new target in sight.

The past couple of years have been fascinating for the former West Valley Hotel. From being raised several feet in the air to having the majority of its interior completely gutted, the ongoing renovation process has its eyes on the finish line, which will hopefully be crossed in several months. Following construction in 2017 of two wooden decks on the front of the structure and the addition of new siding in 2018 — the most visually striking improvement to passersby on Route 240 — completing the inside’s modern overhaul is nearly all that’s left to do. West Valley resident Doug Studd has led the renovation of the landmark structure, something he says the community has continually let him know they’re happy to see. “I didn’t really know a lot of people in town when I bought this,” he said. “After I bought it, people have been coming out of the woodwork, and they’re so appreciative… They show me old pictures, stop me on the street and shake my hand, and I had no idea it meant so much to these people.” In 2017, Studd, now 70, said he had a goal of being open in a year, but now it looks like it will take at least two. After a medical emergency earlier in the year, he said he was put behind another 12 weeks. In the meantime, Studd said he had a few extra hands join over the summer to help the project across the finish line. “We’re about 75 percent complete,” he said last week. “We’re going to hit it again this weekend.” Although a $159,729 state grant last year had helped offset some of the cost, much of the work has been Studd’s own money. Unfortunately, he said that has been one of the significant factors in delaying the opening. Tasks such as installing a new
sprinkler system and a new septic tank were necessary, but time and money consuming. But Studd said he wants to make the finished product the best it can be. “You get these big surprises that you didn’t expect,” he explained. “We’re not going to cut any corners. The engineer told me I had done too much, but where would I have done anything differently?” Studd purchased the building at a county tax sale about three years ago; the business had most recently been operating as a restaurant and bar on the first floor. Three hotel rooms, an apartment and a large empty hall on the second floor hadn’t been used in years. More recently, a new heating system is in the process of being installed, the engineers have been working on the kitchen design and the electric wiring is about 90 percent done. There are also items, like the septic system, to be approved by the county. “We’re not that far out, it’s just the big-ticket items,” Studd said. In addition to the restaurant itself, he also explained his hope of one day renovating the spacious room upstairs, located in the southeast corner of the building. The room features an original bandstand and enough space to fit plenty of people, perhaps for banquets. “I also plan on putting an elevator in here,” he said. “If we have banquets or whatever else, we’ll have the elevator to run the food from one floor to the next.” Studd also hopes one day to move into the apartment, located in the southwestern corner upstairs. He doesn’t plan on getting into the hotel business but wants to renovate the three upstairs rooms in case someone needs to stay, he said. “This has been a very big learning experience for me,” Studd added. “But we’re getting it done.”
‘Fat Bike’ rides in ASP this weekend
Biking enthusiasts will have the opportunity to enjoy a new winter activity at Allegany State Park, beginning this Friday, as the park’s Environmental Education and Recreation Department hosts the first “Full Moon Fat Bike Fun Ride.” Riders participating in the free event should meet at the Red House
Administration Building at 6 p.m. to check in at the main lobby, although registration is not required.

ECS SPORTS Led by Smith, ECS girls pull away in second to beat CLV
League play appears to suit the Ellicottville girls basketball team well. The Eagles improved to 4-1 in the CCAA East II division on Monday, handing Cattaraugus-Little Valley a 57-32 loss at “The Ward” gymnasium. Also Ellicottville’s fifth win in its last six contests, Monday’s game lifted the Eagles over .500 (6-5) for the first time this season.
The crucial stretch came in the second quarter when the Eagles, then leading 15-13, scored the last 15 points of the half for a 3013 lead.

Junior guard Makenna Smith knocked down four three-pointers on the way to a season-high 22 points to lead Ellicottville. Smith
also led the Eagles with five steals. Freshman Emilee Ruiz added nine points with five rebounds and a team-high five assists. Evelyn Nuzzo, Sierra Maybee and Megan Chapman also had five rebounds each. Alex Minnekine led Cattaraugus-Little Valley (6-5) with 7 points.

Smith added 12 points on a pair of three-pointers and Camryn Early had seven rebounds for Ellicottville. Katelyn Miller led Pine Valley (2-7, 0-3) with 17 points and five rebounds, and Lyric Westland pulled down six boards. The Panthers led by one at halftime and trailed by two entering the fourth.
“It was close the whole way,” Pine Valley coach Mark Mansfield said. “We got Jimerson in foul trouble, so things were going the way we wanted to but she had a big fourth quarter. “We did a nice job on her right up until the end. They’re a good, solid team.”
Ellicottville (44) Smith 3 4-8 12, Eddy 0 1-2 1, Ruiz 2 2-4 6, Jimerson 4 7-13 17, Maybee 1 0-0 2, Nuzzo 2 0-2 5, Earley 0 0-4 0, Chapman 0 1-2 1. Totals: 12 15-35 44.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Steven Rowland Boys Basketball
Senior captain Steven Rowland has helped the Ellicottville boys basketball team string together its first win streak of the season with a combination of defense, rebounding and scoring. Last week, Rowland marked 16 points and eight rebounds in a victory over Forestville on Tuesday, Jan. 8, and added five points and five boards against Pine Valley on Friday. Through last week, Rowland had three double-doubles on the season, including season-highs of 18 points and 16 rebounds against Salamanca in the Joe DeCerbo Memorial Tournament, in which he made the all-tournament team.
A third-year varsity player and senior captain, Sierra Maybee earned praise from her coach for both her play and her leadership this season. “Sierra has contributed to the defensive side of the ball by playing post defense and rebounding,” coach Chelsea Cole said. “She has been a positive influence to our team.” Maybee chipped in eight points to help the Eagled defeat Forestville on Monday, Jan. 7, last week.

His Ellicottville girls are the two-time alpine ski state champions and return all three contributing members, but Kelly Fredrickson doesn’t want the Eagles to feel content with their prizes. Part of that attitude is natural to the sport. Any one mistake by the Eagles’ skiers could have derailed either of its championship runs the last two seasons. “Ski racing is very unforgiving,” Fredrickson said. “One day, one little mistake in one run can take them out of it. So they have to have good runs and good times and no mistakes in four runs at states.” Now-sophomore twins Logan and Hayly Fredrickson and freshman Ceceila Carls helped Ellicottville win the team state title in alpine skiing last February at Bristol Mountain. The Eagles compete in slalom and giant slalom throughout the season, and their best times from both at the state level help determine the state championship. Last year, Logan was second individually in the state in the GS and sixth in the slalom. “The big thing is to win the team championship again,” Kelly Fredrickson said of his team’s 2019 goals, “and then maybe hopefully they can win an individual championship in slalom or GS. It’s the next goal but really the main goal is to continue what they’ve done, which is a challenge.” In the program’s sixth year, Ellicottville remains one of just two school districts in Section 6 to field a ski team, along with Williamsville, and

competes in the regular season against private school Gow. Its schedule this season included four meets at Holiday Valley, two at Kissing Bridge and one at the Buffalo Ski Center before gearing up for states at Gore Mountain at the end of February. Many of Ellicottville racers also compete at the club level, including the Fredrickson twins for Holiday Valley and the Carls sisters (Cece and Emmylu) for Holimont. Kelly Fredrickson said his daughters picked up the sport at age seven. “Being that we live in Ellicottville, they’ve been racing for Holiday Valley since they were seven,” he said. “We’ve had a lot of opportunities to ski and they enjoy it a lot and work very hard. It’s a big reason why, because they ski a lot. We practice and ski probably five, six days a week every week.” ECS started the season with seven girls skiers: junior McKenna Kaleta, sophomore Courtney Sexton and seventh grader Emmylu Carls along with its returning state competitors, while seventh-grader Layla Kerns is on modified. The boys team includes junior Adrian deOrbe, freshman Mitchell Azcarate
and seventh graders Eric Shattenberg and Emmett Jacobson, the latter on modified. “The boys are pretty strong skiers,” Fredrickson said. “Mitchell Azcarate is back this year and so is Adrian deOrbe, they’re both strong skiers. Mitchell has had a really good year so far club racing and we have a new guy, a seventh grader that’s going to race varsity, is Eric Shattenberg, who’s been a club racer for Holiday Valley for quite a few years. “I also have another seventh grader, Emmett Jacobson, coming this year, but he’s not racing varsity. He’s still on modified right now.” Azcarate — who won the Eagles’ opening meet in the GS Jan. 2 at Holiday Valley — and deOrbe competed at the state level last season. Fredrickson expects strong results from all three varsity boys this year. “I think locally Mitchell will definitely do very well,” Fredrickson said. “Eric, I expect a lot from him. For as young as he is, he’s a very strong skier and I think at states, if they all get good runs in, they should do pretty well. The three of them, Mitchell, Adrian and Eric.”

SOME MENTAL HEALTH RESOLUTIONS FOR 2019
By Kim Duke I don’t know about you, but for me, 2018
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 we can sit idle while many of our hardfought-for 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 self-care, in part because of the stigma against those facing mental illness, emotional well-being is 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:
his Snapchat 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
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 16-year-old son sat on his phone all day long on Christmas Day commenting on the number of presents he saw under all of
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.
Local professionals mentor students in CTE Cosmetology Career Day By Deb Everts
The Ellicottville Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center hosted “Cosmetology Career Day,” Jan. 14 when cosmetology professionals from the area were invited to discuss their careers with the students. Tracy Guntrum, cosmetology instructor at Ellicottville’s CTE Center, said this was the first event of its kind at the center. She said she’d like to make this an annual event and possibly expand it from an afternoon to an entire day, next time. “My wish for today is to open the eyes and to inspire our future cosmetologists,” she said. Guntrum, along with several local leaders in the industry, set out to broaden the mindsets of the future cosmetologists who are currently attending the center. This experience featured influential individuals from various cosmetology fields who mentored the students by sharing stories about their careers, specialties, passion, hard work, dedication, risks, failures, goals, achievements, education — past, present, and ongoing, along with words of wisdom or advice. After the students questioned the panelists, guests had the opportunity to
visit the classroom and clinic for a short tour. Guest speakers in the program titled, “Behind the Chair and Beyond,” were Kourtney Shuman, a master designer and colorist for Rusk and owner of “Modern Expressions Salon” in Bemus Point; J.P. Nabozny, owner of “The Barbershop Soli Deo Gloria” in Springville; Laurie Wagatha, Reiki Master and reflexologist from the Wildwood Sanitarium in Salamanca; Stacey Rogers, owner of Fantastic Sam’s Arcade; Jennifer Bennett, regional educator for Fantastic Sam’s; and Angie Shaver, owner and stylist, “Root 39” in Springville. Also presenting their experiences in the cosmetology field were Steve Lightcap and Dylan Mutton, both of Springville, who are recent graduates of the Barbering Program at the Potter Career and Technical Center in West Seneca. They are currently working in the apprenticeship program under J.P. Nabozny. English teacher Jeannine King and Guntrum integrated an English lesson into the event, beginning with the students preparing an invitation for the speakers. She said they were graded on this, as well as their participation and the questions they prepared for
the speakers. “Speakers provide an opportunity for a classroom of students to hear firsthand about a particular occupation from a current practitioner in the field,” she said. King said the cosmetology students participated in asking relevant and thoughtful questions they prepared in advance and completed a post-evaluation essay afterward. They created an outline, then wrote an essay relevant to the question they asked. She said this included three things they learned from the speakers, things that may have surprised them, and how it impacts their career. Guntrum said she is in her third year of teaching Cosmetology at Ellicottville’s Career and Technical Educational Center. Between her junior and senior class, she has a total of 25 students. The event was attended by 12 of the 13 seniors in Guntrum’s class. “I guess what inspired me to do this event was a meeting I had with my advisors, who are people from the cosmetology field,” she said. “As we left, I thought about these people and the success between them and myself.” Guntrum said they graduated from Boards of Cooperative Educational

Services (BOCES) and that said a lot to her. They are salon owners, educators and people who are successful in this field and started out at BOCES, she said. “They can credit the beginning of their career back to BOCES,” she continued. “I think that’s amazing and I wanted to show these students the possibility of success. We are living proof of the success that BOCES has.” Guntrum said she basically did this program for the awareness of the students because cosmetology, in general, is a huge umbrella. She wanted to open their eyes
to the opportunities of all the different specialties that fall under that umbrella whether it’s barbering, owning a salon, being a nail technician, or a massage therapist. “I just wanted to broaden their opportunities and let [the students] talk to people who have been where they’re at and the success they’ve achieved,” she said. “With the exception of one panelist, all the professionals are BOCES graduates.” The students are encouraged to find an internship sponsor, Guntrum said, so attendees who own businesses in
the cosmetology field were asked to consider sponsoring an intern from the technical center. She said the advisory board is always looking for individuals to share input on industry changes, upcoming trends, service variations and events, so she talked to attendees about getting involved in this manner, as well. The Ellicottville, Olean and Belmont career and technical education centers all offer the Cosmetology Program.

SKI CLUBBIN’ From elementary-aged to seniors, ski club is the way for students to enjoy themselves on a school night. Both affordable and convenient, this organization brings joy to many in the dark days of winter. Glenn Hall, middle school science teacher, has been involved with Ski Club for over 20 years. Alongside math and science teacher Blair Wood, Hall coordinates and advises the program, spending countless hours making sure all runs smoothly. “I begin organizing with Holiday Valley in September and make sure students have supplied them all the necessary paperwork and payments, as well as the ECS-required paperwork before we get them on the slopes,” Hall said. “Due to our proximity and relationship with Holiday Valley, students who attend ECS are afforded a very reasonably priced program to learn how to ski and snowboard beginning in kindergarten and carrying through graduation.” Hall said the club normally has about 170 to 200 students participate per year. Fortunately, he said he also has a rotating crew of teachers and parents who have helped to make this endeavor a smooth process over the past few years.
Continued from front page December and January, when the advisors finish paperwork and teach the students the process of getting to Holiday Valley through the rental area, is usually the most hectic time, Hall said. “Mr. Wood and I are at the Valley on Thursdays along with the parents and teachers helping kids get their equipment ready to go,” he said. “After that, we make sure the students are safe on the hill and are returned to their parents.” During the ski club months, Hall said he and Wood make sure that students and parents are in contact. Occasionally, they are called when we have a student in need of medical assistance with the National Ski Patrol. Following that, they make sure the parents are able to pick their kids up for any further medical procedures. “With all this going on each Thursday, the winter seems to pass quickly as we eventually get to the third week in March when Holiday Valley ends their night programs for the season,” he said. Ned Hartsell, an ECS senior, has been a Ski Club member for eight years. “It’s how I learned to ski,” Ned said. “If you don’t work for the Valley, skiing can get pretty expensive. Because of this, I get to drive myself and ski affordably with my
friends.” Cameron Kaleta, a seventh grader, has been skiing since she was five years old. “I love skiing because it’s a way to de-stress and clear my head,” she said. “I can think while I ski. It helps me focus and burn off steam. “I like ski club because the transportation is easy and it’s fun,” she continued. “We take the ski bus at 3:15 and go to the Valley. We get our gear on and find our instructor on the slopes. Ski Club is part of what makes winter my favorite season.” Along with seasoned veterans, Ski Club also caters to beginners. Aaron LoGiudice, also in seventh grade, went skiing for his third time ever this Thursday. “I joined Ski Club because my mom signed me up, and I thought, ‘Eh, this might be fun,’” Aaron shrugged. “So far, it’s been pretty easy. I’ve learned to pizza and I didn’t fall that much. Ski club is very convenient and a fun afterschool activity.” As a long-lasting tradition at ECS, the Ski Club is continually warming both hearts and bodies amidst an everfrigid Ellicottville winter. With the club’s third outing occurring this week, students are excited to get in the swing of things and hit the slopes!

Young named chair of State Senate committees for elections, ethics
Page 7
By Rick Miller
Despite a loss in her bid to become Senate minority leader, state Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean, has been named to a high ranking leadership post in Senate Republican Conference. The 57th District senator has also been designated as the ranking Republican member of the Elections Committee and Ethics and Internal Governance Committee. “I am enthusiastic about continuing my leadership efforts as assistant minority leader for Conference Operations. In this new political environment where all three branches of government are now controlled by New York City interests, assuring the strength and voice of upstate has never been more important,” Young said in a prepared statement. She lost her bid to become minority leader in November to then-Majority Leader John Flanagan of Long Island. Last year she was Finance Committee chairman, having served earlier as Education Committee chairman. “As the ranking Republican member on the Elections and Ethics committees, I look forward to tackling difficult issues that are vital to ensuring the integrity of our electoral system and our political leaders and processes,” Young said. “The public should be able to have trust in their government and elected officials. Yet, polls show that public confidence is at an all-time low. We clearly have our work cut out for us,” she added. Young said the Elections committee should be “one of the most active” in the new session with issues such as early voting and campaign finance reform being repeatedly cited by New York City Democratic leaders as top priorities. “Working to safeguard New Yorkers from proposals like these as well as advancing new initiatives aimed at improving and strengthening New York’s election laws will be key goals,” she said. The Olean senator said more remains to be done to follow up on passage last year of New York’s comprehensive sexual harassment law. A proposal she submitted became the framework for the new law following

the revelations of the #MeToo movement. “There is clearly more that can and should be done in this area and as the ranking member on the Ethics Committee, I look forward to working in partnership with my colleagues to build on the foundation we laid last year,” Young said. “Ethics and public accountability are front and center in the public dialogue right now and they should be,” Young said. The senator wasted no time this week in announcing her opposition to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s call for a taxpayer-funded campaign finance system in the state. Public-funded campaign financing in New York City “has become a cauldron of corruption,” Young said. The state is looking at a $500 million budget deficit this year, she said. Democrats have proposed public financing legislation that would cost taxpayers $200 million. Young recalled when Democrats last controlled both chambers in 2009-10, they raised taxes and spending by $14 billion. “The Democrats’ plan is deja vu all over again,” Young said. “We have a projected budget deficit for next year and a slowing stock market that will only make the deficit worse.”
ECS robotics team finishes 7th, 11th in recent competitions By Caitlin Croft The Jan. 8 meeting of the Ellicottville Central School Board of Education opened with the Superintendent’s Report and Middle School/ High School Report. The three robotics teams that recently competed in the FIRST LEGO League competition at Houghton College qualified to move to the next round in Rochester. Two of the three teams came in the top 15, finishing in 7th and 11th at the Rochester Competition. They will not move on to the next event. “To have two teams finish so well from our smaller school district is a huge accomplishment,” said District Superintendent Robert Miller. “The students worked very hard and we should all be proud of their results.” Miller is currently looking to address gaps in video surveillance throughout the school. There was a discussion on a report from the CDC that has declared e-cigarettes an epidemic among youths. There will be a letter drafted and sent out to parents in the next newsletter to inform them of the crisis. Elementary Principal Maren Bush reported that
Project Christmas was a success. Non-perishable items, turkeys, perishable items and presents were collected and donated to families in need around the area. “It was a great event and so good to see so much parent volunteering and involvement,” Bush said. In addition to Project Christmas, another successful holiday event was the Senior Citizen Lunch. The faculty will be reading Reading Reflex and discussing how it can be implemented at a working Faculty Meeting. In Old Business, the Buildings, Grounds and Transportation Committee met about flooring to replace the damaged areas from the flood in the basement of the elementary wing. Plans are progressing, so the committee feels it is best to take time to come up with the best solution as opposed to a quick fix. In New Business, the school board approved: • the 2019-20 Budget Preparation Calendar; • the September through December 2018 fire drills and lockdown drills at ECS; • Judy Brown (retroactive) as a volunteer in elementary classrooms

‘Night of Miracles’ by Elizabeth Berg
Lucille Howard is getting on in years, but she stays busy. She has begun to teach baking classes, sharing the secrets to her delicious classic Southern yellow cake, the perfect pinwheel cookies, and other sweet essentials. Her classes have become so popular that she’s hired Iris, a new resident of Mason, Missouri, as an assistant. When a new family moves in next door and tragedy strikes, Lucille begins to look out for Lincoln, their son. Lincoln’s parents aren’t the only ones in town facing hard choices and uncertain futures. Happy, sad, sweet and funny, this book celebrates the nourishing comfort of community and provides a delightfully original take on the cycles of life. It is the feel-good book of the year: every chapter infuses the heart with a renewed sense of hope. This book is currently available in book format at the Ellicottville Memorial Library, or you can download it for free as an eBook version to your own device using your library card!

Holiday Valley to host Empire State Winter Games party
Holiday Valley Resort is slated to be part of a four-decade tradition in New York state this winter as the host of a party for a state-wide winter sports competition. Holiday Valley will host the Empire State Winter Games Buffalo torch relay send-off party on Sunday, Jan. 27 from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Training Center. The party will begin with the arrival of the torch carried by a snowboarder down the mountain. Complimentary food and drinks will be served in the training center to follow. The Empire State Winter Games is a multi-day sports event that is used to bring together winter sports athletes from across New York state and beyond. For 39 years the Empire State Winter Games have offered a platform for more than 2,100 athletes of all ages to compete in over 30 winter sports events. Some events include alpine, luge, bobsled, cross country, hockey and snowboard cross. The games are located
in New York’s Adirondacks and take place from Jan. 31 through Feb. 3. A torch relay is used to kick-off the beginning of the Empire State Winter Games. Two torches will travel across New York state, each on separate routes for five days, one beginning in NYC and the other in Buffalo. Both torches are scheduled to arrive at their final location in the Adirondacks on Jan. 31 during opening ceremonies to set the stage for the Empire State Winter Games. Anyone wishing to attend the send-off party at Holiday Valley is welcome. Admission is free. For more information about the Empire State Winter Games and the torch relay, visit www. empirestatewintergames.com. Skiers and snowboarders wishing to compete in Ski Cross or Snowboard Cross Empire State Winter Games events can contact ESWG sports coordinator Mike Kirchner at ski-boardcross@eswgames.com to register.
