Living in snow country, I’m sure everyone is certainly aware of two things: the snow and ice will be here and the driving can be treacherous! Prepare yourself for the slippery conditions and for any roadside emergencies you
may run into. Here are some tips for those who are not already prepared: Always keep the top half of your gas tank full. It can give you better traction and gives you a margin for error if you get stuck and need to keep the engine running to keep you warm. If you’re stuck in a serious storm, do not leave your car. Run the engine periodically and wait for help. Carry blankets, water, a flashlight, a shovel and something to chow on in case of an emergency. Update your vehicle’s safety kit by including the above, plus sand or kitty litter to provide some traction. Jumper cables, lock deicer and (of course!) an ice
scraper are “must haves.” In poor visibility or even white-out conditions, don’t drive faster than you can see ahead. High speeds in poor or no visibility can lead to large chain reaction accidents. Remember: Mom and Dad want to see you arrive safely – if you’re a little late, they won’t care! Leave space between your vehicle and the one in front of you, and don’t drink and drive. And, of course – always BUCKLE UP! So, dear reindeer, I mean – readers, respect the winter driving conditions. If it’s really nasty out there, stay home, open a nice bottle of wine and bake some Christmas cookies! Until next week …JZC

Bob McCarthy’s Irish X-Mas A Magic evening - “Bob McCarthy’s” Irish Christmas
Ellicottville Brewing Company, was magic this past Friday night as Bob’s presence was obvious to all that attended Bob McCarthy’s 12th annual Irish Christmas. The evening started off with Dan Minner, EBC’s Head Brew master, donating $1,141.00 (The proceeds from their sales of Bob McCarthy’s Celtic Red -$1 from each pint sold around St. Patrick ’s Day). Then MC Phil Bund, took over for what proved to be another successful “Pie Auction”. Deb Burkhard commented that the generosity that this village shows is a constant surprise. Bob’s friends were there from all over western NY, Ohio, PA and Southern Ontario and opened up their hearts and wallets to support Rotary’s Family Support and Santa’s workshop. The event brought in over $14,000.00 with more donations arriving daily, setting a new record. Beth, Laura, JP and the entire EBC staff provided a dose
of Ellicottville hospitality beyond compare. Although the crowd was a little smaller than last year, with the new layout, clear sound (Thanks Devin) and room to move made the night go very well. A special thanks to Dina’s, EBC, Katy’s, Madigans, The Silver Fox and Villaggio who each donated a special dish for “Taste of Ireland” for the crowd to enjoy. EBC also mixed some special Irish Cocktails to get the bidders in the mood. Special thanks to The Gin Mill who painted & decorated Bob’s wagon as well as making a generous donation to the event. Thanks to the bakers (too many to thank) whose special desserts were done by Bob’s friends as a tribute to him and this tradition. Rotary thanks their friends who helped make this such a great success - Ed & Deb Frederickson, Phil Bund, Jim Watson, Jan Carscallen, Katy & Victor Arena, Tom & Helen Bradish, Kegs
Keighley, Tom Kneeland, Sally & Mike Nickolson, John & Anne Northup, Dennis and Jane Eshbaugh, Anne Marie Ranger, Judy Brown, Dave Salvucci, Jay Stoddard, Chet Zuchelli and so many others. When asked how did this start, McCarthy would answer “It started with a little magic”. To be sure the magic came in the form Ellicottville’s residents, both permanent and part timers who attended and bid for the great auction items which even included a McCarthy original. Ed Frederickson knocked it out of the park again with his unique creations. His wooden chest was the highest bid item at $1,600 (BTW Mike Young bought it and donated it to someone in the crowd), while Ed’s unique birdhouse won by Sean & Erin Cornelius for $550. The real thanks goes to those who attended, those who bid as their form of donation and those who dropped off gifts for Santa’s Workshop to make Christmas a little special for less fortunate families. You know Bob would have been in awe by the donations and creations made by so many generous donors. This year you all helped 29 families and a total of 122 people have a great holiday season ……………..and that is the real magic. Bob we all miss you but we will continue your tradition of giving. Thank you Ellicottville.
