AMSOIL Championship
Snocross This Weekend
February 6-7 AMSOIL Snocross at Seneca Allegany Casino
Feb 6-7 at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino Get ready for some harddriving excitement as the world’s premier professional snowmobile race kicks off this weekend at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino. Sponsored by the International Society of Champions (ISOC), the AMSOIL Championship Snocross showcases more than 200 of North America’s top snowmobile racers and their high-flying, full-throttle, action-packed performances that promises fun for the entire family. ISOC racing crews are converting a million gallons of water into snow to fill a piece of property about the size of a professional football field. This is where riders will combine big-air jumps, impossible turns, incredible speed and extraordinary control to complete their races. Fans can watch more than four dozen races each day and night with as many as 15 vehicles on the track during a single race. Races are organized by age, gender and type of snowmobile. The entire event has an energetic, festive atmosphere, with vendors on site to offer food, beverages, gifts, apparel and gear. Some 15,000 snowmobile lovers attended last year, and even more are expected this weekend. Many are arriving by snowmobile themselves, using the area’s vast snowmobile trail network that leads directly to the resort. Tickets are available for Friday only, Saturday only or both days. Kids under 6 are free. Visit www. senecaalleganycasino.com.

HV’s Penguin Paddle Feb. 21 By Alicia Dziak
Who’s ready for lots of laughs on the slopes? Holiday Valley offers so many ways to support great causes while having a blast. One of the most unique events is the annual Penguin Paddle, approaching 30 years strong. This allday event on Saturday, Feb. 21, combines silly downhill action with raising money for the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program (LASP). Just what’s so “penguin” about this paddle? “The Penguin Paddle has three main components: A huge cookout at the bottom of Yodeler, an auction at Yodeler Lodge and the Penguin Slide down the bottom of Yodeler slope. Participants put on a garbage bag and slide down the hill on their belly ‘penguin See Penguin Paddle page 10

Rotary Ski Day Continued from Front Page
many projects centered in and around Ellicottville. With a core group of volunteers, 100 percent of funds raised go to support local projects, such as a $50,000 building grant to the Ellicottville Library, various other library programs and the summer park program. Another important beneficiary is Ellicottville Central School. Each year, the Rotary also provides backto-school supplies to students and supports lunch programs, travel and special projects for those in need at ECS. Rotary also awards two $500 scholarships for outstanding graduates of ECS or BOCES. Special requests for eye glasses, hearing aids or clothing are fulfilled as needed. The Rotary also funds two major programs: The Arts in Education project at Essex Arts Center for a class every year and; Rotary “Slapshot -
Leadership Program” which provides a unique experience for two students every year. Additionally, they provide funding for Little League Football, the Ellicottville Historical Society, the Alley Katz, the Ellicottville Food Pantry, Women’s Shelter, Meals on Wheels and many other local organizations. Through Family Support for Ellicottville, the Rotary provides a “quiet helping hand” to those less fortunate in the community by providing funds for unexpected medical expenses like transportation to treatment locations. They also provide Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners every year and sponsor Santa’s Workshop, aided by Irish Christmas, which brings Christmas joy to many families in the community. This dedicated group meets on a regular basis. “All meetings are open to the public - we meet weekly on
Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m.,” said Rotary member Greg Cappelli. The Rotary’s volunteers work hard to help the community, and now’s your chance to help them support that work. Head on over to HoliMont to ski all day, or join the crowd for lunch only for $20. Lifts open at 9:30 a.m. and lunch will be served from noon to 1:30 p.m. Cappelli pointed out that the event is also a great opportunity to “enjoy a day at HoliMont when it’s open to the public and where you’ll meet Rotarians from the district.” Come on—you deserve a long weekend and a day on the slopes! Don’t miss out on this fun time of skiing, making new friends and supporting the Ellicottville Rotary Club. To reserve your spot, call Jack Luzier at (716) 945-2283 or email jcluzier@gmail.com.
The 34th annual Contractor’s Day event took place at HoliMont on Friday, Jan. 30. Approximately 87 companies brought 635 employees/clients to the slopes for a fun-filled day of skiing, snowboarding and mingling with potential new business contacts. “Contractor’s Day is an event that we plan on to be a lot of fun every year,” said HoliMont Group Sales Manager Julie Murphy. “Each season it seems like we bring in a broader spectrum of businesses. We’ve already been getting emails from people who attended to let us know what a great time they had and how they are looking forward to next year’s event,” Murphy said. The event began in 1981 when 11 men from Midland Asphalt, ABC Paving Co., Syracuse Supply, Oakgrove Construction and Holmes and Murphy got together for a day on the slopes to mix some business with a lot of fun. The ongoing success of the event is due in part to the late Dave Pitkin, a member who was instrumental in bringing the event to HoliMont. Because Dave had a huge passion for the racing program, there is now an annual Dave Pitkin Memorial Ski Race during Contractor’s Day so that his spirit and commitment to
HoliMont can be recognized. This year marked the 29th year of the race, which saw a competitive group of skiers test their skills against one another to see who was the fastest down the course. “Contractor’s Day gives businesses an opportunity to hold ‘meetings’ outside on the slopes,” said Murphy. “That is the foundation of Contractor’s Day. We want to give businesses an exciting venue where they can reward their employees and possibly find new networking options.” HoliMont would like to thank the Contractor’s Day sponsors for helping to put on another great day: B&L Wholesale Supply, Toyota, Upstate Rebar/ Upstate Steel, Milton Cat, Park Place Installations, Hamburg Overhead Door, Anderson Equipment Company, Jamestown Macadam Inc., Thermal Foams Inc., County Line Stone, Kanberra, Nussbaumer & Clarke, Braun Recruitment Inc., Kinley, Noco, International Chimney Corporation and Arcadis. Contractor’s Day is typically the last Friday in January, so be sure to keep that in mind for 2016. For information on how to participate in Contractor’s Day or to inquire about being an event sponsor, contact Julie Murphy at 716-699-2320 or groupsales@holimont.com

pests driving you nuts?
I have talked a lot about keeping a natural, athletic, upright stance in these articles. Probably nothing is more important than understanding that skiing is an aggressive athletic activity. It requires you to be active and in control of your skis. With that being said, most athletic activities that require forward motion begin with the body. The body prepared for action. Stand up and pretend you are going to receive a serve in tennis. How are you standing? Are you standing with your hands at your sides with your weight on your heels? Probably not. How about playing baseball or football or bowling? In these activities, you must keep a balanced, prepared-for-action stance. You should be like that in skiing. Get in your balanced stance and lean back as far as you can – not too far is it? Why? Because you can’t! So why do people lean back with their weight on the tails of their skis? Because they can! They have the high backs of very stiff ski boots and a foot and half or more of their skis behind them – so it is easy to park and ride. They are not skiing or under control, but with a lot of extraneous, unnecessary and inefficient actions they survive, most times, on groomed terrain. You can get the picture when you watch the “slide for lifers” on the headwall of Eagle. Thirty foot sideslip, a quick ungainly pivot and another thirty foot slide. This is not skiing. You cannot “slip and pivot” and be in any sort of control. If you are leaning back, you are just along for the
ride since you cannot engage the effective part of the ski, the front edges. The edges behind your boot are mostly straight and can only skid sideways. In skiing you need to use the front of your skis. By using the front edges, you control your skis, edges, pressure, speed, terrain, line of descent, and all the other things you need to be a considered and accomplished skier. How does your stance affect this? It does because we need to commit to the turn and manage the front of the skis – the steering wheel. We need to engage an early edge and gradually develop edge and pressure as speed, terrain and turn shape dictate. So how do we “commit” to the turn? The key is to extend our center of mass in the direction we are going – or, if you will by “skiing into the future.” Go back to your tennis stance. The serve is coming over the net and you have to move quickly to return it. What do you move first? Do you stand straight up and extend your foot and place it on the ground, then move your body over that foot? No, you launch off of your solid balanced stance and project your body – “center of mass” – into the
future. Then you move your feet as you need to keep your body in balance. What happens if your feet don’t move? Why, you fall down! “Same, same” in skiing. You extend off your solid base and engage your ski edge and pressure to keep your feet supporting you. Admittedly, this is the tricky part, since through pressure control your feet are not always underneath you. They are typically off to one side or another, giving you support through a combination of some sophisticated laws of physics, like centripetal force, centrifugal force, body in motion, etc. But in all cases you are determining the path and speed of your skis. Want another example of moving “into the future?” Watch someone walk. Where is the foot that has most of the support when they are moving? Is it under or in front of them? No, it is behind them and the other is moving ahead to be where the body needs it to be to keep moving. As you develop this awareness, you will soon realize the ease with which you can manage the actions of your skis on the snow and become a much more proficient and efficient skier. So to wrap it up, you must commit to your turns and “ski into the future” by extending off a solid and balanced stance. All the while, you’re engaging your edges and pressure, with steering and rotary action to keep your skis on a solid base. For this and other tips for adaptability and progress in your skiing, consider a session or lesson with one of our PSIA/ AASI trained instructors. Thanks for reading this article and I hope to see you on the slopes!

1875 Murder Keeps Local Moniker Alive By Mary Fox
How “Murder Hill” in Ellicottville got its name has been a topic of speculation for well over 100 years. The moniker is often attributed to the fact that driving on the winding stretch of Rt. 242 between Ellicottville and Little Valley, especially in the winter, can be “murder.” But in actuality, the name comes from the fact that a murder did take place there in 1875. The story may never have been documented had it not been for a conversation between avid Ellicottville storyteller, Les Fox, Sr. and Candace Broughton, a doctoral student of American studies at the University of Buffalo. Broughton was intrigued by the story and pursued it to the point where her research took her to county offices, old newspapers, books on murders and visits to descendants of the accused, eventually becoming the basis for her dissertation. Her paper, “Gendered Justice: Emma Wimple and the Story of Murder Hill,” was published in 2004.
It all started on a small farm on the rugged, hilly land where Charles Wimple, his 20-yearold wife Emma and their two children, five-year-old Hattie and three-year-old Willie, eked out a living. Wimple, who had served for the Union Army during the Civil War, was wounded in the battle of Cold Harbor. Upon his return, documents suggest he was depressed because of the pain he suffered in his arm and often declared he wanted to die. When his body was found, his death initially was attributed to suicide. But Emma’s father, Reuben Marsh, and her sister Vienna weren’t convinced. They believed that Emma, who was five months pregnant at the time of Charles’ death, and the family’s hired hand, Nelson Cool, were having an affair. They informed the authorities of their suspicions. Pharmacy records soon revealed that Cool had purchased arsenic and strychnine in the weeks preceding Charles’ death. The
body was subjected to a full autopsy, where signs of poison in his stomach and spleen were discovered. Samples were sent to Buffalo for analysis by Dr. George Hadley, a professor of forensic chemistry at the University of Buffalo. Hadley confirmed the results of the autopsy, and Cool and Emma were promptly arrested, arraigned, examined and incarcerated in the county jail. Hadley later testified during Cool’s Cattaraugus County trial. This was the first time forensics had ever been used as evidence in the county. Ultimately, Cool was convicted of murder, later confessed and was sentenced to life in prison. Emma was sentenced to life imprisonment in Sing Sing Penitentiary. She, however, maintained her innocence all her life and, after serving 27 years, her sentence was commuted. She died in 1917 at the age of 62.
Stone Soup Concert • Photos by Jann Wiswall
Letter to the Editor I never get tired of this town! While I am a transplant, after 30 years living in this once sleepy little town, I can’t get enough of its warmth, charm and generosity! It is with this in mind that I would like to thank all those involved with the Stone Soup Dinner and Concert for its success. Saturday evening brought 72 people to the United Church of Ellicottville for “Stone Soup.” This number doesn’t include the volunteers or those who enjoyed dinner AFTER the concert. We enjoyed bottomless bowls of clam chowder, vegan lentil, and a lovely vegetable beef soup. Freshly baked bread and a crisp salad accompanied the meal, which was followed up by pastries baked just that morning. Needless to say, no one went away hungry! After dinner, we were WOWED by the voices and energy of the Ellicottville Sound Chorus. One couldn’t help but smile while these artists poured their hearts and souls into a “hobby” that they truly enjoy. The passion for their craft was obvious in all the members of the group, which ranged in age from 18 to “90 something.” How many hobbies can you think of that are so inclusive? What touched me most was the feeling of community that permeated the event. Guests lingered and socialized and just plain ENJOYED ONE ANOTHER! It is evident that this could become an annual event. In terms of financial success, it is stunning to note that we (as a collective community) raised over $2,000 for the COMMUNITY Food Pantry. While I risk forgetting someone, I think it necessary to mention all those involved in the success of this fundraiser.

By William Thomas
Man Crossing Into Canada by Rocket—the Ultimate EZ-Pass An American stunt man is planning to launch himself across the Detroit River from Wyandotte, Michigan, near Detroit, to LaSalle, Ontario on the Canadian side ... while tethered to a rocket. I know what you’re thinking ... when it comes to crossing the Canada/U.S. border with the maximum amount of speed - most of us would choose Nexus! Personally, I see nothing wrong with a man hogtied to what looks and flies like a cruise missile torpedoing himself from the United States to Canada across what was once the largest undefended border in the world. But then again, I can’t speak for some poor bugger shoveling snow in his driveway in the town of LaSalle when the stuntman selects that stretch of tarmac to be his runway. “The world’s most powerful pop bottle rocket,” as the stuntman describes it, is powered by propane and driven by the steam the heat creates. It can hit up to 350 mph and hopefully, a parachute is deployed upon landing. The stuntman’s name is “Mad” Mike Hughes because when you want to bind yourself to an exploding projectile normally used to send astronauts into outer space, you do not earn the nickname “Modest” Mike Hughes. And modest Mike ain’t. Making it clear he’s seeking “worldwide publicity,” Mad Mike says: “I want to validate that I’m the greatest daredevil in daredevil history.” Really? Because Evel Knievel propelled himself over the Snake River on a motorcycle, not The Challenger. “Everything in life is overcoming objectives,” says Mike. “I don’t care if you’re picking up a woman in a bar or trying to jump a rocket over a river.” Yeah, except when you fail at going home with the woman in the bar, the phrase that best describes it is that you “crash and burn.” But when you fail a successful landing
at several hundred miles per hour, you actually do “crash and burn.” And the chances of Mad Mike and his propane-powered rocket lighting up LaSalle like Bagdad at the midnight launch of “Shock and Awe” are pretty good. A year ago, he fired himself across the Arizona desert for a flight of 1,378 feet (420 meters) and the G-force impact upon landing left him immobile and writhing in pain for two and a half days. That stunt, which he considered a great success, inspired the international river jump currently at the top of his agenda. Mad Mike currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest limousine ramp jump in history. In 2002 he drove a tree-ton Lincoln Town Car 103 feet (31.39 meters) through the air, making a hard landing and causing ten teenagers who thought they were going to the prom to spew champagne all over each other. The river project is not proceeding as quickly as Mad Mike would like, mainly due to the question of liability who pays if the stunt ends in disaster? With a less than resounding self-endorsement, the rocket man responds with: “I’m prepared to be in surgery and be operated on, ok?” I don’t recall Niagara Falls tightrope walker Nik Wallenda saying: “I’ve already picked out the coffin in case this thing goes south!” Liability is not the only problem that could put the kibosh to the rocket launch across the border. • Mike would have to hit his ejection button if, when he approached the border, there were over 400 rockets in front of him and only four inspection booths open. • Entering Canada at 350 mph, the exchange between Mad Mike Hughes and the Canada Customs officer concerning citizenship, purpose of visit and possession of alcohol, tobacco or firearms would have to be concluded
within .003 seconds. • And he would absolutely be screwed if they asked him to open the trunk of his rocket. • Mike would almost certainly suffer whiplash if told to pull over for a secondary inspection. • Mad Mike crossing the border in under a second would surely attract the anger of 600 truck drivers who are parked at the entrance of the Ambassador Bridge each and every day. • Mad Mike risks unintentionally starring in a Super Bowl commercial for Viagra with the caption: “Hey! Is that a rocket in your pocket or is this some kind of weird international stunt?” • Most Canadians would miss the point of the whole rocket-crossing unless Mike was carrying $150 worth of groceries and a twelve-pack of beer. • Seeing a crazed man lashed to a rocket and invading another country, Dick Cheney would die of jealousy. • Mad Mike’s life could end prematurely when he is spotted over the Detroit River by a guy named Lunatic Larry in nearby Amherstburg who, believing an American invasion of Canada is inevitable, has a Patriot Missile unlocked and loaded on his roof. That being said, let us not understate the vital role that daredevils and stuntmen play in today’s society. Say what you want about the nature of the feat, these are men with hearts of lions; these are men with nerves of steel; these are men ... and I say this having written many stories about guys going over Niagara Falls in barrels ... these are men with extra thick oatmeal for brains.

Free Tax Assistance Available For Cattaraugus County Senior Citizens
For over 30 years, the Internal Revenue Service and AARP have sponsored the Tax Counseling for the Elderly program, which provides free counseling and preparation of tax returns for senior citizens. Beginning this week, in conjunction with the Cattaraugus County Dept. of the Aging/NY Connects, volunteers will be available to assist county seniors with their taxes. The primary mission of the program is to help those ages 50 and older, but no one is ever turned away because of age. Tax volunteers are trained to handle most routine situations, but clients with rental income, business income with depreciation, or foreign investment are advised to see a tax professional. Cattaraugus and Salamanca area residents should call Don or Allison Girod at (716) 2573285 for an appointment at one of the following locations: Cattaraugus Free Library,
Cattaraugus— Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., through April 15. Public Library, Salamanca— Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., through April 9. Olean area residents should call the Olean Senior Center at (716) 376-5670 for an appointment. The schedule will be Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1 to 4 p.m., starting Feb. 3. The volunteers will ask you a few questions to determine whether or not they can handle your return. If so, you will need to bring the following to your appointment: all statements of income, any type of 1099 forms (from Social Security, banks, brokers and pension funds, and others) and any W-2 forms. It is also helpful to bring last year’s tax returns and a record of property taxes paid in 2013. If you sold stock, please bring all of the details, especially when you bought
it and how much you paid for it. A photo ID is also required. New for this year: You must bring proof of health insurance, which is usually a Medicare card or insurance card. However, if you purchased insurance through an insurance exchange, the volunteers will need to know the details of what you purchased and when. Your return will be prepared using a computer and online tax software, and the volunteers will be e-filing most returns. A $200 state credit for volunteer fire company members is available, even if you would not otherwise file a tax return. For more information on the Tax Counseling for the Elderly program, or to inquire about any other programs available to Cattaraugus County seniors, please call the Cattaraugus County Department of the Aging/NY Connects at (716) 373-8032 or (800) 462-2901.

Strength Training 101: Where Do I Start?
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
You know that strength training will help you meet your weight loss or fitness goals, no matter what they are. And you know a strong body is a healthy body. But, starting a whole new workout routine can be daunting. It’s the reason so many people stick to the same old habits (that do not work). How Will You Be Training? There are many options when strength training – from starting weight-free with bodyweight training to using dumbbells and barbells. With bodyweight training, you need minimal equipment, or none at all, and you can train anywhere as long as you have space to move around. Some of the exercises included in bodyweight training are squats, lunges, push-ups and pull-ups. The one downside to bodyweight training is that you need to keep modifying your
exercise difficulty in order to ensure you are leveling up and progressing. A second option for strength training is using dumbbells. Dumbbells are a great way to start weighted strength training for a few reasons. First, most gyms will have a good set of dumbbells, even if it’s a basic gym. If you want to train at home, you can get a set of adjustable dumbbells. Dumbbells provide an added stabilization challenge, and point out muscle imbalances pretty easily. A third option is the barbell workout. Because a barbell is incredibly stable (you’re using two hands instead of just one with a dumbbell), barbells allow you to progress clearly and quickly, allowing you to add small increments of weight each week. It is easier to go heavier using barbells, especially for lower body movements like the squat and the deadlift. When it comes to movements like squats, deadlifts, pull ups, bench press, etc., your form is crucial. Until you are confident with the exercise, use a broomstick (or PVC pipe) instead of weights. So what is the best form of strength training? All of the above… The following are some sample workouts:
Bodyweight: complete 1 set of each exercise and then move directly on to the next exercise. 1) 20 prisoner squats 2) 10 push ups 3) 20 walking lunges 4) 10 triceps dip 5) 15 second plank 6) 30 jumping jacks Repeat 2-3 times through. Dumbbell: complete each exercise in a controlled manner. Start with 3-5 lb. dumbbells 1) 10 goblet squats 2) 10 hammer curls to shoulder press 3) 10 sumo squats with biceps curl 4) 10 triceps kickback 5) 10 star jumps Repeat 2-3 times through. Which one is better? Either! The routine that best suits your fitness level and needs is the one that is right for you. With either plan, make sure the difficulty increases over time. Adding 2-5 more squats, lifting 5 more pounds or adding a second set of heart pumping cardio could do this. The main goal should be to always do better than you did the last time; this will ensure you are continuously getting stronger and faster. Honestly though, how you eat will account for 80-90% of your success or failure. SO, with a quality diet, you will lose fat and build strength EITHER way.

$5 Million Increase Proposed for Support of the Arts Arts leaders from around the state cheered the news that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s 2015 budget proposal included a $5 million increase for the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) and praised the effort of NYSCA Chairman Aby Rosen, who promoted it. The increase is particularly significant since it continues an upward trend started in 2012-2013, when Governor Cuomo added $4 million in Regional Economic Development funds to the NYSCA budget. While arts advocates agree that this is a great step in the right direction, they will continue to work to restore NYSCA to its highest amount of local assistance funding, which was $54.3 million more than 27 years ago (in 1988-89 and 1989-1990). There is also a proposed increase in NYSCA staff, bringing the total number to 30. Arts leaders are quick to point to how such funding not only benefits arts and culture in this state, but is also a boon to local economies. New York State is home to 53,085 artsrelated businesses that employ 335,683 people, according to studies completed in recent years. The recent advocacy effort led by ArtsNYS was organized on behalf of all NYSCA recipients large and
small. ArtsNYS is a network of arts councils and affiliated organizations from all over the state that redistribute NYSCA funds through the Decentralization Program, working closely with the cultural organizations in their community. “We are extremely grateful that the governor has included this additional funding for NYSCA in the proposed budget,” said Tina Hastings, executive director of the Cattaraugus County Arts Council, which administers the Decentralization Program for Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Allegany counties. “This funding is crucial to the support and growth of the arts throughout the state and I am pleased to see that the governor has recognized the vital role of the arts with this $5 million boost.” Starting in October, coalition members met with their legislators asking them to urge the governor to request an increase. They explained to legislators that nonprofit cultural organizations are in actuality small businesses that have struggled through the recession with diminished resources and greater demand for their services. Many of these businesses do not have the access to corporate or foundation funds, as do other more institutional players. This week, the coalition
again wrote Chairman Rosen, urging the state’s arts leader to recommend a $5 million lift to New York State Council for the Arts (NYSCA) local assistance program noting that he understands the plight of New York’s arts organizations and the vital services they provide. “New York State Council on the Arts is pleased that Governor Cuomo’s Executive Budget includes a proposal for an increase to the agency’s FY 2015-16 budget,” said Aby Rosen, Chair, New York State Council on the Arts. Legislators were also buoyed by the governor’s arts increase. North Syracuse Assemblyman Albert A. Stirpe, Jr. agreed that the increase in arts funds benefits not just cultural organizations, but the communities in which they are located. “Cultural and arts organizations are vital assets for our communities — once established, these cultural assets will not move to another state or country; these assets remain rooted in place,” said the assemblyman. The ArtsNYS coalition is comprised of 29 organizations, including the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (www. myartscouncil.net). For a list of ArtsNYS members, go to www.artsNYS.

Red Bull All Snow Event Feb. 21
Holiday Valley is hosting one of four Red Bull All Snow events on Saturday, Feb. 21. As the event Web site explains, before “east coast hills had expertly designed terrain parks with triple kinks, stairsets, wallrides and pole jams, snowboarders and freeskiers had to make do with what Mother Nature gave ‘em. Hand dug half pipes, side cuts, natural hips were getting boosted from Jersey to Maine.” The Red Bull event goes back to those early roots and creates unique courses “centered around flowing lines, getting air and leaving all your jib tricks at home.” Translation: the entire course is designed using all snow, hence the name. “Basically they’re creating a course made of all snow without any metal rails or boxes,” said Holiday Valley Marketing Director Jane

Eshbaugh. “The idea is for riders to move through the course with “flow,” she added. “It certainly will be interesting to watch. We’re hosting it in the Rail Park at the bottom of Mardi Gras, so it will be easy for spectators to ski/ride or walk to the course.” Riders and skiers (age 18+) compete by showcasing their “best tweaks, plants, airs and flow.” The top three in each event take home awards. The tour began on Jan. 17
at Mountain Creek in New Jersey. After the Holiday Valley stop, Mt. Snow in Vermont will host on March 7, and New Hampshire’s Loon Mountain hosts the last of the series on April 4. On-site registration opens at 9:30 a.m. Snowboard prelims begin at noon and ski prelims follow at 1:30 p.m. Finals begin at 3 p.m., followed by awards at 4:15 p.m. Visit www.redbull.com.

style,’” explained Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s director of marketing. “The goal is to raise awareness and funds for the Lounsbury Adaptive Program at Holiday Valley.” From its beginnings many years ago, this event has been a real crowd pleaser. “The Penguin Paddle has changed greatly over the years. It started with about 30 Clevelanders and a few folks from Buffalo who were having an apres ski party on the hill. It was a potluck and after lunch we would don garbage bags and slide down Yodeler,” said Mary Ellen Racich, director of the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program. “Emily Eckley started passing around coffee cans to collect some money to help the Lounsbury Program. Each year it grew and more people volunteered to help. It would take a huge amount of space to name everyone who has helped over the years. We now have about 400 attendees.” The best part about the Penguin Paddle experience? Knowing you’re doing it for a great cause. “The Penguin Paddle is our major fundraiser,” said Racich. “We use the funds for equipment, instructor training, a scholarship program for those in need and we sponsor a day where Veteran disabled skiers can come and learn to ski. Last year we had 21 veterans.” While LASP has changed over the years, the goal
has remained the same: get people skiing and focusing on abilities, not disabilities. “The Lounsbury Program has grown also,” added Racich. “We started with four instructors and the first year did 32 lessons. We now average 250 lessons and have 43 volunteer instructors.” Does sporting a garbage bag while sliding down Yodeler sound like fun? Of course it does! Registration for the Penguin Paddle slide is $1 and includes your very own garbage bag! Sign up on Paddle Day from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Creekside Lodge, or from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Yodeler Lodge. Races begin at 1:30 p.m. Helmets are required. Age groups are as follows: 4-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12, 12-14, 15-20, 21 and over, and mixed doubles (two person bags). In addition to the slide, lunch in the tent can be purchased for a $5 donation. Silent and live auctions run from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the tent at the base of Yodeler, and raffle tickets will be on sale all day at Yodeler. “We are raffling off a Holiday Valley ski pass, a $500 travel voucher and a pair of skis,” said Racich. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $5 each or five for $20. Auction items include gift cards, ski clothing, ski equipment, beer baskets, wine baskets, golf items, local photographs, pictures, picture frames, event tickets and more.

Racich noted the generosity of the community for this event. “If I had to guess, I would say 90 percent of restaurants and shop owners in Ellicottville participate by making some sort of donation,” she said. “We are very grateful to the community and Holiday Valley for their support. The Penguin Paddle is successful because Holiday Valley and the community care about disabled children and adults.” This is your chance to bring the kids and feel like one, too. What could be better than racing down the hill like a penguin, enjoying a cookout, trying your luck at winning some amazing items and spending the day with friends and family supporting a great cause? Waddle over to Holiday Valley on Feb. 21 and get in on the fun! For more information, visit www.holidayvalley.com.
recreational skier. Holiday Valley has been participating in NASTAR racing for 27 years. Through its standardized racing system, skiers can compete, record their stats and then compare their results with friends and family, wherever they may be. Since 1997, NASTAR has made its system virtually live by creating an online system that keeps track of results on racers’ personal “Race Records.” Participants can check times and rankings on their smart phones, computers or other devices from just about anywhere. Other industries have gotten into this concept, too, of course, and there is now a plethora of gadgets, apps and Web sites all geared at tracking performance, times, health and habits. Strava® is a program where you gather information on a GPS device, smart phone or bike computer. Simply upload your data to Strava.com and
Photo Courtesy of Nastar.com you can see how you compared to other registered users who have covered the same routes. Segments can be created and used to add races within races. For example, if you track a 26mile road bike ride, you can see how fast or slow you were on different parts of the ride. The online system keeps a log of your activity and you can set goals for the week, month or year. Fitness bands are also gaining popularity. These bands look like your average sports watch, but they track your movements throughout the day and also keep track of your sleeping habits. Again, these devices link to your
smart phone and ultimately online so you can track your performance against your friends or your own personal goals. Fitbit® is a popular brand that offers a few different band options with basic or premium features. So whether you’re keeping score of your own victories or how you matched up this week against your brother in Denver, there are many new devices and online services to keep track of it all. This new direction seems to have jacked up the intensity and focus of our recreational play time. Online Olympics in 2020? Gosh, I hope not.
Tea for ‘My Doll & Me’ Continued from Front Page
And, because the American Girl dolls are based on young female protagonists of an historical fiction series, RACDC is partnering with the Randolph Free Library to host this brand new event. A brief history about many of Randolph’s beautifully restored homes, built in the mid-1800s and early 1900s, will be presented to give participants some context for the historical time periods of several American Girl characters. Other highlights of the afternoon include an eighteeninch doll boutique, where girls
can shop for doll outfits and accessories. Girls can also enter the raffle to win the American Girl doll of her choice! As a young girl, I enjoyed spending the afternoon with my dolls, especially during the long winter months. Through the American Girl characters, I became interested in American history, and quickly grew my doll and book collections accordingly! I’m very excited to introduce this event to Randolph and bring together young ladies who share a love of reading and creativity. I invite you to share the day with your
granddaughter, daughter, niece or friend for an unforgettable afternoon! There will be two tea times to choose from on Saturday, Feb. 7: 12 - 2 p.m. or 3- 5 p.m. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for girls. Please call 716-720-1278 to reserve your seat as seating is limited in the library’s fireplace room, which is equipped with an elevator. Follow “Enjoy Randolph” on Facebook to see sneak-previews of some of the prizes and goodies that will be part of My Doll and Me: A Valentine Tea!

Springville/Hamburg Happenings Four Weeks of Music, History, Health and Family Fun By Daniel Meyer
