Winter Arts Festival Nov. 19 and 20

Upcoming Events in Ellicottville Nov. 19-20 Winter Arts Festival Holiday Valley

So Much Creativity and Inspiration in One Place!

The Holiday Valley Lodge will be bursting with creativity on the weekend of Nov. 19 and 20 with the 2nd annual Winter Arts Festival, presented by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council with special support from Holiday Valley Lodge, the Ellicottville Times and the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development and Tourism. The fine artists and artisans for this juried sale are looking forward to reconnecting with friends at the festival and meeting the public to share their love of the arts with them. Ellen Paquette, a painter and fiber artist explains, “It’s always a pleasure to be gathered with other artists in one venue to share our work with the public. Artists spend a lot of time alone doing the work, yet we need those opportunities to see what others are creating and to give and receive feedback from our peers. I always leave an event like this feeling inspired by what fellow artists are bringing forth with their creative talents. The opportunity to interact with the interested public, answer questions and have artinspired conversations is what I love the most about events like the Winter Arts Festival. I’m always guaranteed to meet interesting people and receive helpful feedback.” Paquette was an art major in college, focusing on painting, primarily in oils. About five years ago, she started experimenting with

Village Readies for Holiday Season

Considers Merging Town/Village Services By Jann Wiswall

The Village of Ellicottville is installing new lights along its streets in preparation for the upcoming holiday season. The lighting was designed by Doug Sitler, the artist behind the popular NIGHT LIGHTS installations. Mayor John Burrell said the lights were purchased on the Village’s behalf by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. The Village Christmas tree, to be placed on the lawn in front of the 1887 building at Jefferson and Washington Streets, was donated by Town of Ellicottville resident Mary Vari. Burrell updated the board on a number of ongoing and new activities. The “Four Flushers” committee of town and village staff involved in See Village of Ellicottville page 7

Former Village of Ellicottville Board Member Robert Brogcinski and former Village Attorney Robert Simon were awarded Certiﬁcates of Public Service by the New York Conference of Mayors for their many years of service to their communities. Brogcinski served the village in several capacities, including Deputy Mayor, for 32 years. Simon worked with the board for 27 years. Village Mayor John Burrell presented the framed certiﬁcates during the Monday, Nov. 14 board meeting. Simon thanked the board and mayor for the honor, saying “I have always admired the people who have served the village so well.”

Ellicottville Freshman Honored for Fundraising Efforts

By Christopher Gordon

A few years ago, ECS high school student Samantha Van Wicklin wanted to make a difference when the mother of a friend was diagnosed with cancer. On Tuesday, she was honored during a ceremony for “outstanding young philanthropist” as her efforts to raise money for Roswell Park Institute were honored during a

ceremony at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens in Depew. ECS Superintendent Mark J. Ward, who was asked to attend by Van Wicklin because of his support for the cause, said watching her receive the acclaim for her hard work is the highlight of this school year. “Sammy handled herself so well,” Ward said. “People were

impressed by her.” When she learned of the diagnosis for her friend’s mom, she started raising money for the Ride for Roswell, which is held each June. That ﬁrst year, she raised about $4,000. She raised her goal to $10,000 in 2014, and ended up raising about $22,000. She raised $25,500 in 2015 and fell

Dekdrebruns: The Oldest Ski Shop in WNY turns 55

By Caitlin Croft

Ellicottville’s own Dekdebruns Snow Sports (DSS) is celebrating their 55th year of operation. Currently on the third generation of ownership, the shop is headed by Greg and Linda Dekdebrun. The Dekdebrun family boasts 70 years in the sporting

goods industry; their ﬁrst shop, which they lovingly refer to as the “Original Dick’s,” opened in 1946. Kylie Dekdebrun, the daughter of Greg and Linda, is the general manager, with Jay Mowrey serving as the hard goods manager and Ciara Peters as the soft goods manager.

“We are very excited about the product lines we now offer,” Peters tells us. Orage and Phenix are two clothing lines DSS used to carry and has now brought back. “DSS now carries Nitro Snowboards and are the sole retailers of Apex Ski Boots.” See Dekdebruns page 7

Local Hoops Scene

By Indrek Kongats

It’s already the third week into November and the balls are pounding on the hardwoods all across the southern tier. Unfortunately, the start of the season can be a painful and frustrating time for many hoop hopefuls, as they learn that they didn’t make the cut for their school’s teams. Fortunately, there are many alternatives for these young players. The most well known is the AAU (Amateur Athletic Association) organizations, such as Buffalo Storm, Buffalo Defenders and Fullcourt Hoops, but these are normally for elite basketball players and take place after school schedules have run their course. Our neighbors to the north are also well organized. Orchard Park Youth Basketball Association has teams that participate in the Great Lakes Youth Basketball League. The different levels of basketball played at the OPYBA are house, which is mainly for novices just starting out. Everyone makes the team and everyone plays equally. Then, there are the intermediate and advanced teams that travel, and player commitment is more rigorous and demanding. Whatever your level, you can and will learn to improve. The ﬁnal, and maybe the best, alternative for young hopefuls that thirst for instruction is to join organizations afﬁliated with the America Youth Basketball Association (AYBA) that caters to players from the 2nd grade right through to the 11th grade. The AYBA has regional tournaments and not leagues, so weekend events are for competition and weekdays and off weekends are for acquiring proper skills through practices. Tournaments run throughout the year, starting in the fall, continuing through the winter months and into spring. The AYBA even has a National

Tournament that takes place in July for qualifying teams. Fortunately, the southern tier has a team for 10th grade or under division. A player must be in the tenth grade as of Oct. 1, 2016 and cannot be older than 17 by Aug. 31, 2017. This is comparable to Junior Varsity at the public school level. The WNY AYBA affiliate team will begin practices shortly and are still looking for players that wish to become better in their individual skills and team play. The AYBA motto is “It’s not the size of the player in the game; It’s the size of the game in the player.” You can express your interest by visiting their Facebook page at www. facebook.com/wnyayba. In college basketball, DI St. Bonaventure women hammered Colgate University 70-57 last Sunday afternoon, making them 1-1 for the season. Their only loss came against Niagara University, their first conference game, dropping a 45-65 decision to the Purple Eagles. Local Randolph High School star sophomore Mckenna Maycock started in both contests and scored a career-high 10 points against NU and four more points against the Red Raiders from Colgate. In the CU game, Maycock had an impressive eight rebounds in the win. The Bonnies men’s team played St. Francis University from Pennsylvania. A strong first half cemented the victory for SBU winning 92-82. If you got up the Hamburg way, there was a real barnburner going on and it wasn’t Bethlehem Steel going up in

flames. Hilbert College men’s basketball team lit up the court with 60-plus second half points to erase a 20 point deficit and win by three in OT. The final score after the smoke had cleared— Hilbert 93, Durham College 90. Local southern tier hoop star from Panama High School, freshman Josh Eddy, started in his first ever college game, contributing four points in 18 minutes and two rebounds. The Hawks play this weekend, hosting the Hilbert Tip Off Tournament against Cazenovia College Friday night at 8 p.m. Player Development tip of the week: Last week, it was proper shooting technique— the higher the shot release, the better. This week, it is about being able to score with either hand. Even at the college level, few players get proficient at making layups or jump hooks with either hand. Failing to do so inevitably leads to their shots being blocked. The off hand, or non-shooting hand, and shoulder are used to protect the ball. Using the proper hand keeps the ball further away from the defender. This is no easy task, but the earlier that you start, the more natural it becomes. In order to practice this, you have to be willing to spend equal amount of time working on your weaker hand. One way is to hold the ball in your weaker hand without the use of the other hand and practice shots in close to the basket by just using your wrist and legs. A dedicated basketball player will take 100 shots or more with either hand in a 45-minute workout. If you have the will, you will acquire the skill!

a hair shy of $30,000 in 2016. In all, she has raised approximately $86,000 for the cause. Her father, Robert Van Wicklin, who is a member of the Ellicottville School Board, said there were more than 600 people in attendance at Tuesday’s luncheon. Ward said he is very proud of Samantha, noting that she has the heart and willingness to help others out. “You just can’t teach that,” Ward said. Her father joked that she especially wanted Ward in attendance so she felt “less guilty” about skipping school, which drew laughter from other board members. Ward said he hears so much about bad things happening, and said this shows there are still many good people in this world. He added that there are many really good kids among the students in the district. However, Ward was also quick to note that wanting to give back is a trait that starts in the home, and credited her family for inspiring her to want to help others. In other news, Ward said a call from a friend will lead the money to some additional funding it did not know it was owed. He said a friend of his, who

was “bored,” and was on the New York State website for unclaimed funds through the office of State Comptroller Thomas P. Napoli, discovered that the Ellicottville Central School District was listed as being owed funds. “There’s two things in for Ellicottville Central Schools,” Ward said. “It’s money.” One of the companies listed is Pierce and Company, which has been a company the district has worked with in regards to text books. The other is Safety-Kleen systems, which has done work for the district in the bus garage in the past. Ward said his friend called him the other day and told him, “I was looking on there and spotted a couple of things.” What Ward does not know at this time is how much money the district will be receiving or why specifically they are owed money. He said he is currently in the middle of completing paperwork to submit to the state, which must include a cancelled check to prove they are the entity that is owed the funding. Although he does not know how much it is for, he said it is definitely monetary funding owed to the district and nothing else.

Also on Tuesday, High School Principal Bob Miller said during his report that he was proud of the hard work put in this fall by students who participated in the various sports programs. “Three of the teams made it to the Section VI ﬁnals,” Miller said, adding that no team advanced beyond that point. He added that he was excited to see the football team return to New Era Field, home of the Buffalo Bills, during the playoffs. Although Miller joked that he still refers to it as Rich Stadium, which was the original name of the ﬁeld. He said winter sports are starting to gear up, noting that to date, 38 girls showed up to try out for the basketball teams. There have been 25 boys to tryout for basketball as well. Fall sports will still be on the minds of the district as the girls’ and boys’ volleyball teams will be honored during a banquet on Monday, Nov. 21 at the high school. The football team will hold its fall banquet on Monday, Nov. 28 at the Great Valley Fire Hall. The Ellicottville Central School Board will hold its next meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 6 at Ellicottville High School, 5873 Route 219.

Pet Diabetes Awareness

Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick with daughter Christina

By Sheila Fitzpatrick DVM November is “National Diabetes Awareness Month” for pets. Diabetes can be diagnosed easily, and controlled, or perhaps cured, if you follow the right steps. Diabetes means that your pet lacks insulin, an important chemical in your body which allows your pet to store the

sugar that it eats. Treatment of diabetes involves administering insulin, as well as conforming your pet’s diet to meet the new metabolic requirements . Do you know what to look for to see if your pet could potentially have diabetes? 1. Sudden Weight Loss Was your cat or dog very overweight and suddenly the weight has seemingly “fallen off”? With diabetes, the metabolism to keep up with the sudden inability to store sugar causes a rapid increase in metabolic rate, thus causing your pet to become thin. Keeping track of your pet’s weight often will help you more closely monitor weight loss. Weight loss can occur with many other diseases

as well, so be sure to have your veterinarian run a blood chemistry and urinalysis to focus on the condition most likely causing the weight loss. 2. Increased Thirst Is your pet hovering over the water bowl? Do you notice you have to ﬁll the water more frequently? These signs are not classic for just diabetes, but are a very good indicator that your pet does potentially have the disease and again, a blood chemistry and urinalyis should be performed as soon as possible. 3. Increased Hunger If your pet is suddenly starving for more food, this is an indicator of an increase in metabolism associated with diabetes. Monitor daily how See Pet Diabetes page 8

‘The Whistler’

by John Grisham A previously disbarred lawyer is back in business with a new identity. He now goes by the name Greg Myers, and he claims to know of a Florida judge who has stolen more money than all other crooked judges combined. It seems the judge was secretly involved with the construction of a large casino on Native American land. The Coast Maﬁa ﬁnanced the casino and is now helping itself to a sizable skim of each month’s cash. The judge is getting a cut and looking the other way. It’s a sweet deal: Everyone is making money. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library.

acrylics on a very small scale and speciﬁcally in the context of animal portraits. Working so small, in such detail, and in acrylics, made it all new to her. Paquette says, “I really feel like I had to learn how to paint all over again when I started in on this body of work.” Her animal portraits present the creatures wearing lush, jeweltoned Renaissance garments. Her inspiration for the work is Renaissance portraiture and she works to convey the same dignity of the sitters in her animal portraits. In the arts, as with any vocation, experience and time bring growth and change to one’s work. Bev Fehringer of Black Raven Pottery was originally interested in pottery after watching and admiring a friend who did pottery, seeing her transform a lump of earth into a beautiful vessel. Now,

public works efforts has been discussing the formation of a joint water district between the Village and District 1 of the town, which share a public water system. Town and village leaders are also discussing the possibility of hiring a Director of Public Works who would oversee all town and village activities related to water, sewer, highways and other public infrastructure services that inevitably require town and village cooperation. Burrell reported that he had discovered an error in National Grid billing that goes back at least two years. The discovery indicates that the village has a credit balance of some $28,000. While more research into the error is needed, Burrell said he is working with National Grid to be reimbursed. “No one caught it,” Burrell said. “Not the village, the company, the auditors or the state. It’s unclear how long the credit has been there, but it’s been more than 24 months.” The board praised Burrell for the “good catch.” Burrell also reported that the village has delivered 10 park benches to the Lion’s Club, which has volunteered to provide the labor to repair them. Once that work is done, another 10 will be delivered. The village is paying for materials. In other business, Burrell announced that he has been elected to serve on the board of the WNY Southtowns Scenic Byway. He is the ﬁrst representative of Cattaraugus County to be elected to the board since the byway was expanded into the county this year. Also, Burrell said he is working with Southern Tier West (STW) to seek out potential New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) grants toward becoming a “green community.” He is looking for volunteers to work with the

village on this effort. Department Reports Village Planning Board Chair Nancy Rogan reported that her board is looking for ways to improve the public hearing notification process to ensure that all of those impacted by neighbors’ construction plans are informed in a timely fashion. “We follow the public hearing laws by the book,” Rogan said, but because “we have so many non-resident owners, we need to find additional ways to communicate, especially with our Canadian vacation homeowners.” Rogan also said that she and several other planning board members attended a seminar at STW and, among other things, were directed to language that can be used in Village zoning law to guide regulation of rooftop solar panels. Village Department of Public Works head Harold Morton reported that a speed bump has been installed on Hughey Alley to slow traffic as it nears Monroe Street from the west. Signs are being installed soon. The board approved Morton’s proposal to run two regular snow removal shifts this winter: 4 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 -11 p.m. Staff will be on-call on weekends as needed. In engineering department news, a noise complaint by a resident on Donlen Drive prompted the board to contract with engineering firm Nussbaumer & Clarke (N&C) to conduct a “Sound Pressure Level Testing” study to determine if the village wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) improvements conform to noise regulations. The comprehensive study concluded that “the aeration upgrades that were performed … were found to be consistent with the design requirements and no immediate action is required to mitigate sound pressure level complaints.” However, the firm also said that the issue may be

related to sound produced by vibrations, and that it may be possible to “dampen sound frequencies.” N&C said, “Further investigation would be required to determine the best course of action.” The board asked N&C to share its findings with the resident. Following an executive session with N&C regarding final payments to WWTP contractors, the board returned and made a resolution to “authorize the mayor to contract to complete the required engineering for the WWTP with either N&C or another engineering firm at a price not to exceed $10,000. The mayor and the village clerk are authorized to pay the invoices from STC & O’Connell once we have engineering certification.” Board member Greg Cappelli reported that all eight security cameras have been installed at the village park and that activity will be monitored 24/7 by police. Additional village and town staff are authorized to monitor the cameras via their smart phones and computers. The board is confident that the new security will reduce vandalism and protect visitors. Coincidentally, he said, the Ellicottville Fire Department also installed security cameras on its property. Those cameras also can be monitored by police. Finally, Village Clerk Mary Klahn requested and received authorization from the board to forward a Collector’s Report on Unpaid Taxes to the county treasurer for billing. She also reported that the new accounting software has been integrated with the old system; the water and sewer billing system will be integrated into the new program before the next billing cycle. The next regular meeting of the Village board is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 12 at 6 p.m. in the village/town hall.

Pet Diabetes Awareness Continued frompage 4

much your pet eats, and if you notice sudden ravenous appetite, it’s time to call your veterinarian . 4. Increase in Urination Because diabetic pets commonly drink more water, you will see a much higher increase in the urine output. Many pets also develop urinary tract infections associated with the diabetes and will continually be urinating frequently and without control. 5. Obesity Overweight pets are far more prone to diabetes due to the increased need for insulin. 6. Cloudy eyes Diabetic pets can develop dangerous cataracts, which can lead to blindness. Sudden “grey” or “cloudy” eyes can be an indicator of diabetes and a reason for immediate concern for your pet’s health. 7. Thin/Dull hair coat Any time you notice your pet’s hair coat is dull, ﬂaky, falling out, or matted, there is reason for health concerns causing this. Because diabetics quickly dehydrate, a dry, ﬂaky, dull coat can be common. 8. Weakness or Fatigue Diabetes often times leads to muscle “wasting”, and generalized weakness. Cats especially can develop a diabetic neuropathy, where the back legs appear weak, wobbly and collapse. Again, muscle weakness can be a sign of

many medical conditions, but it is something to surely monitor in your aging, overweight pets. 9. Depression Diabetic pets can develop major lethargy and depression in response to the breakdown of fats and proteins in the liver due to the lack of insulin. A condition called ketoacidosis can develop from this in the unregulated diabetics and lead to death. 10. Vomiting Anytime a pet is vomiting, it is a sign of concern. Untreated/ unregulated diabetics will often vomit due to the ketoacidosis as mentioned above. Though this is not the ﬁrst sign of diabetes, it certainly should spark concern in pet owners to have their pet seen so that any underlying medical condition causing it can be diagnosed. Now that you are aware of what to watch for in your pet for diabetes, perhaps these few signs will also make you more aware of what to watch for should your pet have any other medical conditions that are not currently diagnosed. Routine visits to the veterinarian are recommended yearly for pets under eight years of age, and every six months for your senior pets. Take charge of your pet’s health and stay on top of your regular trips to the vet!

By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

One of the strangest things I hear during ﬁtness assessments is the admission that many of my new clients do not drink water. Their reasons range from odd to insane—they do not like the taste, they just don’t think about it, and, the most bizarre, it makes them need to use the bathroom. What I explain to these clients is that life cannot exist without water. Water can be a miracle cure for many common ailments, such as headaches, fatigue, joint pain, muscle cramps and much more. We can go weeks without food, but only three days without water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73 percent water, and the lungs are about 83 percent water. The skin contains 64 percent water, muscles and kidneys are 79 percent, and even the bones are watery at 31 percent.

Water plays a vital role in nearly every bodily function. Lack of water is the numberone trigger of daytime fatigue. A mere 2 percent drop in body water can trigger fuzzy shortterm memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or printed page. Consistent failure to drink enough water can lead to Chronic Cellular Dehydration. This condition leaves the body in a weakened state, vulnerable to attack from disease. It is difficult to get water from any other source than water itself. Soft drinks and alcohol steal tremendous amounts of water from the body. Other beverages, such as coffee and tea, are diuretics, therefore stealing precious water from the body. Water also transports and metabolizes. It is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption and chemical reactions. According to Clark Bartram, ISSA Master trainer, the carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream. No less important is the ability of water to transport waste material out of our bodies. The benefits to keeping our bodies hydrated with water do not stop there. When the body is well hydrated, there is more oxygen in the bloodstream. The more oxygen the body has readily available, the more fat

it will burn for energy. Water also suppresses appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits and unsightly cellulite as well. Often times, our thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. In a University of Washington study of dieters, one glass of water shut down hunger pangs for almost 100 percent of the dieters. Water is also the body’s best cooling source. Sports drinks are useful when consumed after or during vigorous or prolonged exercise in high heat. But, most experts will agree that water works better than carbohydrates or sugary beverages for moderate exercise. So, if you are not thirsty for a large glass of delicious water after reading this article, I can only assume you are a rock and not a human being! However, if you are ready to grab a glass or two, here is the general rule as to how much is enough: We need to drink half of our body weight in ounces of water every day to provide the body with the MINIMUM water replacement requirements. Triple the intake for better results.

Outdoor Adventure

Invite Mr. Duck to Camp

By Indrek Kongats The dynamic duo of fall is none other than the deer and the duck. As the first frost hits the ground and ponds begin to form, that thin film of ice ducks start heading south or to larger bodies of water. The deer know it’s time to bulk up, especially if they sense a hard winter is approaching. Looking in the right places, the hunter can and will find his prey and stock up himself on venison and waterfowl, hopefully to last him through the approaching season. Deer season opens this Saturday, Nov. 19 for the southern zone of New York State. Duck hunting started Oct. 22 for the fall season, ending Dec. 4, a week before the final day of deer hunting on Dec. 11. The overlap can create some interesting game fare for the table, especially during that sacred time spent isolated in the deer camp! This year invite Mr. Duck to camp, but in order to do so, you have to go ducking as some like to call it. Duck hunting is much like deer hunting for most, from a blind or stand. What makes duck hunting so exciting is your ability to call them within shooting range and watching them prepare to land among your decoys. Your adrenaline kicks in and you open fire only to see every single bird do a 180 and takeoff in a different direction. What you just did has a very common term, much like buck fever is used in deer hunting. Flock shooting is when everything, including common sense, flies out the door and you can’t decide on which bird to shoot or you get greedy and try for the whole flock. The saying “bird in hand is better than two in the bush” also applies here. Target one duck at a time, and if you are quick, you might get a second shot on another. Puddle ducks— ducks that like small bodies of water and marshes—get evicted at this time of year and will look for new digs on larger bodies of water. These ducks eat vegetation so they can be found along shallow shorelines and can be hunted from shore blinds. Species include the ever-popular mallards, the beautiful wood duck, the elegant pintail and, of course, the ever elusive black duck. Included are also the teal families, the blue and green winged teals— smaller in size, but big on flavor. Lake ducks, or diving ducks as they are properly termed, are found in flocks in the middle of a lake looking much like a big flotilla. Species include the scaups, canvasback, redhead, ring neck and the loveable ruddy duck. Don’t include the mergansers in the event you see one— these fish-eating ducks are not suitable for the table unless you are a fan of anchovies as well. Hunters will use decoys for both puddle and diving ducks, but out in the open water, if you don’t set out a large group of decoys, you may be wasting your time. Hunting in open water requires a boat with camouflage netting. Duck meat is delicious, and if prepared properly, is simply to die for. The secret to preparing and cooking ducks is quick and hot. You should never skin a duck, so that means plucking. The art of plucking varies with the type of duck, or rather their size. My grandmother would boil water and then dip the bird into the scalding water to loosen all of the feathers, some use wax, others, with more time on their hands, hang the bird by one leg and start plucking first in handfuls and then one feather at a time. The final removal of those tiny hair-like feathers is over an open flame, just singe them off. Master game chef Morten Fadum shares his technique in cooking duck as follows: “This is less a recipe, as it is a presentation. To cook a duck depends on the species of bird as cooking time is different— for a mallard, the cooking time is 30 minutes, a teal, the cooking time is 15 minutes. Duck must not be skinned! Have mallard at room temperature. “Prepare the duck at room temp, rub the duck with coarse salt, have the oven as hot as possible (600 degrees is best), or as hot as you can get it. Bake in an iron pan turning it over four times. Cook for required time, remove and rest for five minutes, then carve and serve. The duck should be bloody but cooked. “For a complete duck meal, serve the carved bird with cheese grits and fennel bulb (roasted with mallard last 10 minutes in oven, turned twice) and with butter gravy. What’s butter gravy? Butter gravy is prepared in the pan that the duck was cooked in, add a pinch of crushed fennel seed and 1/4 stick of real butter. Melt and cook down to brown the butter with two shots of port, add 1 cup of stock, simmer 2 minutes and thicken with flour...don’t over gravy the duck...enjoy!” When you have run out of all of the traditional camp menu ideas, and you are onto your last can of SPAM, have someone you know go out and shoot some ducks— but for the love of God, make sure that the person of choice has enough wits about him not to bring home someone else’s decoys. They are a little on the chewy side! Visit www.fadum.com and tell him that Mr. Duck says hello!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, most Americans think of the great historic feast between the Native Americans and Pilgrims. The ﬁrst Thanksgiving was probably one of the few cordial moments in America between the whites and the Native Americans. Wars, raids broken treaties and a reservation system seemed to put a damper on the relationship. Textbooks well into the twentieth century would label the Native American as dirty and savage. Successes of two Native American athletes help to change attitudes toward See A Look Back page 8

The Springville Concord Elder Network (SCENe) was created out of a grassroots effort by residents in the Springville area and funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Western and Central New York’s “Neighborhood Action

Regular Firearms Season for Deer and Bear Hunting in Begins Nov. 19

Hunters Encouraged to Pass Up Shots on Young Bucks

With the start of New York’s most popular big game seasons this weekend, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos is encouraging hunters to be safe, enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, and consider passing up shots on young bucks. “Regulated hunting of deer and bear is one of the most important conservation efforts needed to implement DEC’s science based management strategies each year, and the opening of the regular season is a cherished tradition for many New Yorkers,” Commissioner Seggos said. “New York’s deer and bear populations are great resources that provide more than nine million pounds of quality, locally grown, organic meat to families across the state and I wish all hunters a safe and successful season.” DEC is encouraging all hunters across the state to pass up shots at young, smallantlered bucks. In a multi-year study conducted with Cornell University, more than 7,000 hunters surveyed across the state reported wanting more opportunities for taking mature bucks without mandatory restrictions on antler size. DEC has been working with several leading sportsmen’s groups across the state to educate hunters on their role in deer management, the impacts of harvest choices, and changes in the deer population as more and more hunters voluntarily refrain from taking young bucks. “Many hunters have told DEC that they would like to see more older bucks, and hunters can make a difference in the future of the sport by passing up young bucks,” added Commissioner Seggos. Many hunters are already voluntarily passing up young bucks, and the proportion of older bucks available in the herd has increased substantially in the past decade. As more hunters choose to pass young bucks, all hunters will enjoy the opportunity to see and take larger, older bucks. Regular Firearms Season for Deer and Bear Begins Nov. 19 The 2016 regular deer and bear hunting seasons in New York’s Southern Zone begin at sunrise on Saturday, Nov. 19,

and continue through Sunday, Dec. 11. The Southern Zone regular season is New York’s most popular hunting season, with about 85 percent of New York’s 550,000 licensed hunters participating. Harvests during this season account for nearly 60 percent of the total annual statewide deer take and 30 to 60 percent of the statewide bear harvest. Following the regular deer and bear seasons in the Southern Zone, late bowhunting and muzzleloading seasons will run from Dec. 12 through Dec. 20. Hunters taking part in these special seasons must possess a hunting license and either bowhunting or muzzleloading privileges. In the Northern Zone, the regular deer and bear hunting season opened Oct. 22, and will close at sunset on Dec. 4. The Northern Zone includes the Adirondacks, Tug Hill Plateau, Eastern Lake Ontario Plain, and the Champlain and St. Lawrence valleys. A late bowhunting and muzzleloading season for deer will be open in portions of the Northern Zone from Dec. 5 to Dec. 11. Help Protect NY Deer from Chronic Wasting Disease Though new cases of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) have not been found in New York deer since 2005, DEC continues to take the threat of CWD seriously. Hunters should, too. CWD is fatal to deer. If introduced, CWD could spread rapidly and be practically impossible to eliminate from the wild deer herd once established. Preventing CWD from entering New York is the most effective disease management strategy. Hunters can help protect New York’s deer herd from CWD by following these tips:

If hunting outside of New York, debone or quarter deer before bringing it back and follow the law about importing carcasses or carcass parts from out of state. CWD Regulations for Hunters. Do not use deer urine-based lures or attractant scents. Dispose of carcass waste in a landﬁll. Report deer that appear sick or acting abnormally. Hunt only wild deer and support fair chase hunting principles. Report Your Harvest - Be Part of Game Management Hunter contributions to deer and bear management don’t end when an animal is harvested. Successful hunters are required to report their harvest of deer and bear within seven days. However, DEC data suggest that less than half of successful deer hunters actually report. Failure to report is a violation of the Environmental Conservation Law, and it reduces the data DEC uses to manage deer and bear populations. Hunters may report via DEC’s online game harvest reporting system or by calling the toll-free automated reporting system at 1-866-GAME-RPT. For speciﬁc descriptions of regulations and open areas, hunters should refer to the 2016-2017 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide available on DEC’s website (www.dec.nygov). Hunters are urged to review all regulations and safety tips contained in the guide. Hunters may also be interested to read DEC’s booklet, Hunting the Black Bear in New York (PDF, 763 KB), or to review DEC’s unit-by-unit Deer Hunting Forecasts, which are both available online.

Gobble for Groceries Thanksgiving Day

Join friends old and new at Springville’s 6th annual Gobble for Groceries, hosted by the Trading Post. This 5K run and fun walk is happening Thanksgiving morning, and it’s a great chance to give back to the community. This is a fun, informal race that’s not chip-timed. There is a new race route this year that still begins and ends at the Trading Post, at 38 Franklin Street. The course splits for the 5K and walk. Rick Manzone will DJ the event. Other highlights include Mandy Hintz singing the National Anthem, a post-

race party that includes coffee from Tim Horton’s, a variety of snacks, an auction for a one-year gym membership from Springville Health & Fitness and, of course, a turkey mingling with the crowd for all your race photo opps. Customdesigned t-shirts will also be available for purchase. Prizes will be awarded in a variety of non-traditional, TBD categories. Instead of a traditional entry fee, racers are asked to bring a cash donation or a bag of nonperishable groceries. Every dollar donated is enough for seven pounds of food to stock

the pantry shelves. While no pre-registration is available, the required release form can be printed ahead of time (from their Facebook page) to save time that morning. Money raised will stay in Springville and go toward the Trading Post, a non-for-proﬁt that provides many services to the community.

By the end of the second mile, she had moved into 14th place and still looked strong. In the last mile, two more hills challenge what is left of the athletes’ leg strength and as Sonya climbed up the last part of the last hill, she passed four more girls to hold a strong sprint to the end finishing in 10th place overall. Elle Russell, who had her fastest time in her five years of racing last week at sectionals, finished 46th overall. Elle had the start of a cold, and at this level, it does not take much to drop places against a very strong field. She battled hard against a tough course, but trying to process oxygen at this level is a tough task with any type of congestions.

WRECKIT Exercise

Prepares BCH for Regional Emergencies Imagine the situation: several inches of ice and wind gusts of up to 45 miles an hour have pummeled western New York. Downed power lines have overwhelmed repair crews and taken out heat sources for thousands of people. Roads in some areas are impassable. Schools, businesses and stores are closed. How will hospitals and emergency responders react? This scenario played out in early November as part of WRECKIT2016, the Western Region Emergency Communications Knowledge and Information Test. This was a multi-county, multiagency exercise to prepare organizations and personnel for emergency events. A weatherrelated event formed the basis for this simulation, and locally, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital took part. “Emergency preparedness is something we work on as part of our regular operations,” said Brandon Frank, emergency preparedness coordinator. “Walking through

a realistic scenario with other organizations in the region helps us to reﬁne our plans and raise questions when we’re not in the middle of an emergency.” Starting with mock weather reports early in the week, the Bertrand Chaffee Hospital team assessed how its departments would prepare in terms of supplies, stafﬁng and other arrangements to insure

the safety and care of patients and “worried well.” “A great part of the exercise is that we were able to ask the question, ‘what if?,’” continued Frank. “Having those answers and reinforcing how decisions are made in an emergency is valuable for all types of events, especially as we approach the winter weather season.”

Each spring, SGI’s fourth grade students travel to the Genesee Country Museum, in Mumford, NY, to explore a historic village. This time of year, the museum offers festive opportunities to get you in the spirit of the holidays. The drive from Springville is under two hours, but it’s scenic and the only traffic you might run into is getting stuck behind a tractor. Preparing for the Holidays the 19th-Century Way, Nov. 19, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 19th-century families needed to start early if they were going to be ready for the holidays. Share in that ageold experience on Saturday, Nov. 19, as Genesee Country Village & Museum presents Preparing for the Holidays the 19th-Century Way. There were candles to be made, root cellars to be filled and meats to be processed. Most of the family pitched in to create the decorations that would bedeck their homes. Finally came many hours of cooking and baking. It was a special family time. Activities will include tastings, mold making, sausage stuffing, smoking meats and other meat preserving, candle making, wool spinning, gift making and more.A holiday meal wouldn’t be complete without a ham. Watch as expert carvers butcher the meat and learn about where food really comes from! As part of Preparing for the Holidays, the Crafts at Christmas program will include traditional holiday crafts of the modern day (purchase of museum admission isn’t necessary to make the crafts). In the 19th-century, nothing said, “You’re special,” better than a personally made item. This is just as true today as it was more than 100 years ago. Even if you are the special person you’re crafting it for! Families looking to share that personal experience have the opportunity to continue that tradition at Genesee Country Village & Museum this season. Again this year, the heated and expansive Conference & Banquet Center will be the staging area for Victorian gift and craft-making. Enjoy some “me time” as you create holiday ornaments and gifts with your

Native Americans. Jim Thorpe and Lewis Tewanima would bring home medals from the 1912 Olympiad. Important to note is that they trained in Springville. Thorpe and Tewanima were both students of the Carlisle Indian School in Carlisle, PA. The Indian School movement was an attempt to assimilate Native Americans into white culture to prevent raiding and looting to settlers traveling west, but also improve quality of life on the reservations. Carlisle was an old Revolutionary War military post that was converted to the boarding school. Students were removed from western reservations and sent to Pennsylvania to live a regimented life of American dress, culture and language. The founder of the school, Major Pratt, saw that the best teachers and vocational instructors were hired. Later, this included Glenn “Pop”

Continued from front page

Warner to be hired as the athletic director. Warner served as coach at Carlisle from 1903 until 1914. In the summers before the 1912 Olympiad, coach Warner brought them to his home town, Springville, to train and keep an eye on them. Jim Thorpe famously trained with the Dygert horses on the half mile track at Elk Street. Thorpe would run with the horses as the Dygerts ran them. Lewis trained at the farm of Sumner Warner in Collins. Picture the scenes from the movie Rocky IV, when Rocky trains on a farm in Russia. It was the natural ability of the Native Americans to compete athletically that gave them great advantage. In 1912, Pop coordinated a track meet at Lafayette to celebrate their graduation day. Pop arrived with a squad of eight athletes to compete. Pop Warner once recalled, “The Lafayette coach was dismayed and suggested

we call off the meet. ‘We have a squad of 50, no sense making a farce out of things’ the Lafayette coached piped.’” Pop continued, “We’ll compete in all events except the pole vault and try to make a contest out of it.” Pop entered Thorpe and Tewanima and another Carlisle student in the quarter mile and 440. They finished 1-2-3. The Lafayette squad finished first on in the pole vault. The final score of the meet was Carlisle 71, Lafayette 41. At the 1912 Olympiad, Tewanima would win the silver in the 10,000 meters. Tewanima would hold the indoor record for the 10,000 many years; it wasn’t broken until 1964. Jim Thorpe won the gold in both the Decathlon and the Pentathlon. Thorpe had his Olympic medals taken away for playing professional baseball, but later had them reinstated in 1982.
