Celebrate the Season with a Christmas Stroll

Upcoming Events December 4 Irish Christmas

If you’re looking to get back to a more traditional sense of the Christmas season, there’s no place better to visit than the Village of Ellicottville. At this time of year, the charming town looks and feels like everybody’s idea of a beautiful Christmas scene with its stunningly decorated store fronts and tree-lit lined streets. This Saturday, Dec. 5, the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring its 28th annual Christmas Stroll, a heartwarming tradition that features a one-of-akind reindog parade down Washington Street and a living Nativity reenactment with actors in full costume and some very special critters, including a live camel, playing their roles. The whole family will also enjoy a Christmas Bazaar, organ music and ornament making at the United Methodist Church on Elizabeth Street. There are free, fresh-baked cookies made by Mrs. Claus at Katy’s Café. And, get ready to play a holiday scavenger hunt at participating businesses throughout the village during the Ellicottville Goodie Hunt. You might just win a pretty special prize. Pick up your game forms at participating businesses. Of course, the area’s boutiques, ski and board shops and restaurants will be open all weekend to woo you with special offers to help you finish your Christmas shopping and fill your tummies. And if you need a little extra exercise during your visit, we encourage you to do a snow dance! See the full schedule of Christmas Stroll events on page 7.

Holiday Valley Season Opening Update

Ready, Set, Ski (Or Snowboard)! Lessons for Every Age and Ability

Ride the Mountain Coaster This Weekend Mother Nature is holding off a bit so far this winter, but Holiday Valley is taking every opportunity they can to build up a base and open the resort for the season. With the state-of-the-art automated snowmaking system, crews have been able to fire up to 235 snowguns to make snow for 44 hours and accumulate 76 acre feet of snow over 10 slopes. Steve Crowley, Director of Mountain Operations says, “We need just another 16 hours

There’s always a ton to do in Ellicottville, but if you’re a skier or boarder, you’ll enjoy your stay here even more. If it’s time to get the kids on the slopes so they can join you in

your favorite winter activity, if you’re looking to improve your skills this season, or if you’re one of those people who just never got around to learning, now’s your chance. Holiday Valley offers lessons for every skill level and every age from 3 and up. There really is something for everyone! See HV Lessons page 11

EFD Launching Teen Explorer Program By Jann Wiswall

By Todd Palmatier

The Section 6 Class D football champion, the Franklinville-Ellicottville Titans, earned Coach of the Year and Offensive and

Defensive MVP Division honors. Third-year head coach Chad Bartoszek won the Coach of the Year, quarterback Tom Easton won Offensive MVP and end Jonas Hurlburt

won Defensive Co-MVP with Portville’s Grant Milne. Joining Easton and Hurlburt on the first-team are Titans running back Caleb Rinko, See Titans Football page 4

The Ellicottville Fire Department (EFD) is looking for interested boys and girls ages 13-15 to become members of the newly formed EFD Explorer Program. The program got off the ground when Zachary Golley (age 15) and Kyle Germain (age 14) asked their parents if

they could tag along on some of their fire department calls. Those parents, EFD volunteers Debbie Golley and Rob and Kris Germain, said sure, and the boys were immediately hooked. The parents realized that they may have hit on a great recruitment tool for future firefighters. So, working

through the Boy Scouts of America’s Explorer Program format, they are developing the EFD program and have volunteered to serve as its advisors. Students will learn firsthand about what firefighters do, how they work together to fight fires and handle emergencies See EFD Teen Program page 13

Mendrick, PSIA Eastern Division Executive Director since 2001. According to Mendrick, Kubicki has been both a loyal servant and advocate for his staff as well as a respected and admired director by staff throughout his tenure at Holiday Valley. The Eastern Board felt that naming this award for him is a ďŹ tting tribute as he retires from volunteer service to Susan Smoll and PSIA-E, professional service Ron Kubicki to the industry and personal Kubicki Staff Appreciation dedication to his snowsports Award.â€? school staff members over the The award recognizes years. snowsports school directors Kubicki served on the of smaller and perhaps less- PSIA-E board for 14 years, known resorts that have starting as a representative demonstrated support and for Region 5 with Region 5 advocacy for their staff and director Mickey Sullivan. earned tremendous respect, He served as secretary in his admiration and loyalty from second term, vice president in their school staff members. his next term, president in his The award is named for 4th term and is now serving out Holiday Valley’s Ron Kubicki, his immediate past president who retired November 1 after term.

Eastern Division president “I joined PSIA-E to represent from 2012-2014, and the Holiday Valley staff,â€? throughout that time working Kubicki said. “I’ve always with him I enjoyed one of the felt that the staff needed a most genuine and down-to- voice – and I wanted to be that earth people of my career.

He is there daily for his snowsports school staff and the adults and children who come to learn at Holiday Valley.� Dana Forbes, a former assistant director at Holiday Valley who worked for Ron for many seasons before heading off to become the current executive director of the PSIA-AASI Rocky Mountain Division, wrote of Ron: “He showed me the difference between being a supervisor and being present for your staff. He taught me the art of staying positive and keeping a smile no matter how much a customer beats you up. He supported me through moments of genius and times of complete failure as I grew from instructor, to supervisor to director, and was a shoulder to cry on in-between. He put the ‘P’ in professional, setting the highest standards for his staff, his supervisors and everyone around him, as he himself was the consummate pro.� Winners of the new Kubicki Award will be a school director that receives eight or more individual nominations by school staff in the opening round for the Einar Aas Award for Excellence in Snowsports School Management.

Holiday Valley to Sponsor Ellicottville Varsity Basketball Tip-Off Submitted by Karl Schwartz, Athletic Director, ECS

The Ellicottville Central School Athletic Department is proud to announce the partnership with Holiday Valley to sponsor the first annual “Holiday Valley” TipOff Basketball Tournament this Dec. 10, 11 and 12. This event will be held in the new gymnasium and will feature both the boys and girls varsity basketball teams. We are excited and proud that Holiday Valley has stepped up again in our community and is our sponsor, along with support of the Ellicottville

If you’re looking for an allnew read to keep you on the edge of your seat,Wrath might be the book for you! Recently written and released by Joshua Yox, this book is geared toward teens and adults due to its graphic nature. Yox describes Wrath as “a super hero book with a lot of action and adventure.” Yox, who works construction by day and teaches MMA and kickboxing by night, carved out time to write the book, self published through Amazon, featuring a character he’s imagined for a long time. According to Yox, the main character, Dante, “is a good man during his life and he dies saving someone he hates. He goes to Heaven and God himself asks for a favor: go back and cleanse the earthen realm of evil. He is empowered by God becoming ‘Wrath’ and comes back to start his task. Samael (Satan) in the Abyss hears that God is interfering with man directly and realizes this breaks their treaty to only influence from a distance. He gears up his Demon army to take over the earthen realm and the battle begins.” Yox’s writing process for

this book took about two years. “I have always wanted to create this character, so finally one day I started doing research on how to create a book. After a lot of work, I realized that simplicity is the best way,” he said. Yox offers advice to first time writers with an idea. “Take your idea and think of it as a movie. Who is the main character? What is the book about? Write down every scene in your imagined ‘movie’ and it becomes your story board for your story progression. I think that having a rough idea of what you imagine will help guide you, but let the story write itself. Follow your instincts and hopefully it will come out great. Write until it is done and then go back and

edit. Edit again and again until you think it is close. Then have someone brutally honest read it and tell you what they think.” For Yox, the conclusion of this process resulted in an 80,000-word book. “I think it is unique just because of the fact I used a normal human who is empowered with Angelic powers by God himself,” he explained. Yox plans on writing more books in the near future. “I am planning on continuing onto the next book after I finish the one I am currently working on,” he notes. “It is about another character that becomes a super hero. All of my characters will be linked in the same world and eventually will be working together in the future when needed. I will be writing many more books of Wrath and my newest line of characters. Hopefully there will be movies someday, but one thing at a time.” While Yox resides in Orchard Park, he is a regular visitor to Ellicottville. “I love the food, unique stores and some of the taverns there,” he says of Ellicottville. “I think it is a very nice area!” Wrath is currently available on Amazon in digital format for $4.99.

New Half Marathon and Runs Coming in 2016 Holiday Valley Hosts Spring Happy Half, 5K and Beer Mile By Eva Potter

Attention runners — a new must-do event is hitting Holiday Valley on Saturday, May 7, 2016. The new Happy Half at Holiday Valley half and 5K will give you something to train for this spring. If you’ve got what it takes, you can also participate in the Beer Mile. The course will be a bit easier than the EVL Half in October but just as fun and competitive. The 13.1-mile and 5K routes begin and end at Holiday Valley and lead you along the Ellicottville area’s scenic roads, complete with rolling hills (but less climbing), gorgeous views and some “interesting� distractions (but race organizers aren’t ready to reveal any clues). “We’re thinking of this as the good sister to the Ellicottville Half,� said event organizer Gwen Bush. “We’re trying to bring the fun into the run.� You can see the Happy Half course at www.happyhalfrun. com. The Happy 5K course will be uploaded soon. For your safety, the course will be controlled by local and county police departments. Water stations at miles 1.5, 4, 6, 8 and 11.5 will have Gatorade sports drinks and Clif

gels. And for that I-can’t-wait emergency, restrooms will also be available along the course. The course will be open for 3 ½ hours, after which runners can ďŹ nish but without course support, like hydration. Half marathon and 5K participants will receive custom-designed medals and T-shirts. The Happy Half offers 11 award levels for both males and females, and the 5K has 13 award levels for both males and females. Costumes are encouraged and Bush said there will most likely be some sort of theme and costumerelated award. Packet pickup takes place at Holiday Valley on Friday, May 6, between 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., or Saturday, May 7 between 7 p.m. and 9:30 a.m. The half marathon is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. and the 5K at 10:20 a.m. The 5K awards will be handed at 11:30 a.m., and the half marathon awards 1:30 p.m. Be sure to stay for the after-party to share stories, eat delicious food, enjoy great entertainment and quench your thirst with award-winning beers from party sponsor Southern Tier Brewery. You’re guaranteed to leave happy! After the half and 5K are over, there is one last way to show you’ve got what it takes to be a runner—the Beer Mile Run. All you have to do is

drink a beer and run a quarter mile, drink another beer and run a quarter mile, down another beer and run another quarter mile and, ďŹ nally, drink your last beer and run the ďŹ nal quarter mile to the ďŹ nish line. Yes, it’s actually a race. Bush said there will be some sort of award for the winner. Even if you decide not to participate, it will be well worth the wait to watch how it ends. Signups are not yet available but will be coming soon. Registration is open now, and the ďŹ rst Happy Half 100 entrants will only pay $55 if they commit by Dec. 30. Pricing is tiered by date, so book now and save. The 5K is only $20 for the ďŹ rst 50 participants who reserve their spot by Dec. 30. Past EVL Half events have sold out, so book soon at www.happyhalfrun.com. You can also reserve discounted accommodations starting at $120 on this site under the Race Info tab. “We are very excited to put on an event at Holiday Valley there are many fun things to do in the summer like the Sky High Adventure Park, mountain coaster, golďŹ ng, mountain biking and hiking. We think our racers will have a terriďŹ c time enjoying the resort after the race,â€? said Bush.

Hawk Show Dec. 5 Come learn about the fascinating history of falconry and watch an exciting demo as the birds perform acts of speed, courage and agility. Show time is 1 p.m. at the base of Mardi Gras. $10 for adults and $25 for families. 5 and under free.

Christmas Cantata Countdown! It’s almost here! The Ellicottville Christmas Cantata, that is. This group of 40 singers from the Salamanca, Ellicottville, Great Valley and Machias communities has been rehearsing every Sunday since Oct. 25 to bring the joy of beautiful choral music to our community this Christmas Season. This year’s Cantata is “A Noel Celebration” by Lloyd Larson. The choir, directed by Annette Ieda, will give two performances on Sunday, Dec. 13 – the first at 3 p.m. at Salamanca’s United Congregational/Methodist Church at 134 Broad Street, and again at 7 p.m. at the Holy Name of Mary Roman Catholic

Church at 22 Jefferson Street in Ellicottville. A reception will follow each concert and a free-will offering will be taken to cover the cost of the music and provide a donation to the Community Food Pantry housed at the

United Church of Ellicottville. What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than to hear the Christmas story through narration and song? Come join in the celebration of our savior’s birth by supporting this amazing event.

It’s Project Christmas Time! Ellicottville Central School is accepting donations for Project Christmas, a program that provides an “extra touch” at Christmas time for many local families. This partnership between the school and community provides food, gifts, necessities and support to more than 65 families and 40 senior citizens who live in our community. Gift tags will be located on gift trees at Ellicottville Pharmacy, M&T Bank, Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and Five Star Bank. Simply choose a gift tag, purchase a gift for the anonymous individual described on the tag, wrap it up and drop it off at either the high school or elementary school office. Gifts are due by Thursday, December 17. Students may also get involved by bringing in nonperishable food items. Monetary donations can be made out to “Project Christmas” and mailed to: Ellicottville Central School, ATTN: Kim Watt, School Nurse, 5873 Route 219, Ellicottville, NY 14731. With the difficult economic troubles we are facing and many families struggling to get by, the need for help throughout our community is even greater. Please help make the Christmas season more special for members of our community. Thank you!

Robbery Thwarted by Churchgoers By Jann Wiswall

A Sunday morning mass at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church is hardly the place or time one would expect regular citizens to thwart an attempted robbery, but that’s exactly what happened on Nov. 29 when Barbara Ward noticed a stranger entering the church through a side door and heading to the sacristy. She alerted her husband, Mark Ward, who investigated and spotted an older man who was holding a lockbox he had just removed from the church’s unlocked safe. Ward, who is superintendent of Ellicottville Central Schools and a long-time volunteer firefighter, asked the man what

he was doing. The man tried to run away, but Ward stopped him and a “tussle” ensued. As Ward continued to contain the man, Barb Ward found someone with a phone who called 911. Parishioner Matt Finn, a teacher and coach at ECS, helped Ward restrain the man until Ellicottville police officer Kelly Phillips arrived. Phillips immediately handcuffed the alleged perpetrator, Gary A. Heinaman, age 77, took him into custody and booked him into Cattaraugus County jail in lieu of $1,500 bail on third-degree criminal trespass, attempted petit larceny and possession of burglar’s tools.

“The whole thing took maybe 10 minutes,” Ward said, “but it felt like a lot longer.” The police credit parishioners with catching a criminal. Heinaman, whose address is in Buffalo, is on parole from a stint in prison and is wanted on a charge in another state. “If Barb hadn’t seen him, he might have gotten away with it. We were just in the right place at the right time,” he said. In hindsight, Ward knows that it could have been a much more dangerous situation. “He could have had a gun,” he said, “but I wasn’t going to let him get away.”

East Otto Town Board Minutes, Nov. 10, 2015 The November meeting of the East Otto Town Board was called to order at 8:10 p.m. by Supervisor James Beach on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2015. Present were councilmen Dave Forster, Mike Poch and William Spors, Highway Superintendent Tom Benz and Code Enforcement Officer Jeff Holler. Councilman Rich Grey was excused. Guests present were Bob Bowen and Michael Guerin Planning Board – A rough draft of the survey and timeline for preparation of the town master plan was distributed to all board members. There was some discussion. Highway: The insulation has been installed at the highway shop. Benz is still working on Snake Run Rd. There is no new information on the gravel pit. The work on the ditch between Bowen Rd. and Razey Rd. still needs to be completed. The board will advertise for a member of the Board of Assessment Review and the

Planning Board to replace Sidney Barber who will resign as of December 31 when he joins the Town Board. Rosemary Solecki was reappointed to the Board of Assessment Review. The Public Hearing on the 2016 Preliminary Budget was held. Guerin addressed the Board concerning Traffic Street. He stated that Benz had maintained it very well lately. He also said he did not feel that the Board should be receiving raises and giving raises to other employees since there was still a proposed budget increase. He also feels that money should not be “banked” within the budget since there has been an increase in revenue. Bowen asked why there was no money in the budget for youth. There is $1,200 in the budget for youth. He also asked why Meals on Wheels was not funded or Travel Club. Beach stated that he did not think he had

received a request for funding from either group. There was a request from Guerin to restore funding for the swim program. He felt that he could provide enough parents and children to make it worthwhile for the board to consider. Beach addressed the issues raised by Guerin. Beach gave a listing of all the raises and when they were given. It has been several years since most had received a raise. There is money included in the budget for a new truck purchase in the future. Beach will check on the Historical building paint that is peeling as well as the heater and fire extinguisher. A special meeting was scheduled to pass the budget on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2015 at 8 p.m. The next regular meeting will be Dec. 8, 2015. Respectfully Submitted Ann Rugg, Town Clerk

Robert was the retired president of St. Bonaventure University in Allegany, where he served for nine years as the University’s first lay president. He was the former president of

Christmas Cantata

Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, MD, where, at one time, he was the youngest college president in the United States, and where he served for 16 years. The Maryland State Senate recognized his “exemplary leadership” during his tenure at the Mount. He served as the president of the Princeton Adult School and was an assistant professor at Princeton University in New Jersey, where he taught for seven years. Robert received his doctorate and masters in English literature from the University of Minnesota in 1970, and his bachelor of arts in philosophy from St. Benedict’s College and Abbey in Atchison, KS, in 1965. He attended St. John’s Preparatory School in Collegeville, MN, and grew up in Strasburg, ND, in a loving family with six brothers and sisters. Robert was a collector of books, passionately specializing in the 17th century poet John Milton and the contemplative poems of George Herbert. He was considered to be a scholar of John Milton and amassed one the largest libraries of his works. Today his collection of books and artwork are housed at the University of South Carolina.

Robert was a devout Catholic, serving as a Benedictine monk, belonging to Assumption Abbey in Richardton, ND, for four years. His commitment to faith continued through his marriage and career. He was an active member of St. John’s Parish in Olean. In passing, Robert hoped that through his donation to the Upstate New York Transplant Services he would be able to help many families. To those who knew him, Robert was the embodiment of faith and family. He had a deep love for Catholic education and the communities he served. Most of all, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, whose kind words and thoughts, infectious smile, dry wit and steadfast integrity will always be with those who knew him. He was a wonderful man and his family love him and miss him dearly. A memorial Mass of Christian Burial was held on Tuesday (Dec. 1, 2015) at St. John’s Church, 931 N. Union St., Olean. The Rev. Edward Sheedy, pastor, and the Rev. Msgr. William O. Wangler, retired pastor, celebrated. Flowers are respectively and gratefully declined. Memorials may be made in Robert’s name to Assumption Abbey, Richardton, ND 58652.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library

‘Rosemary: The Hidden Kennedy Daughter’ by Kate Clifford Larson Joe and Rose Kennedy’s strikingly beautiful daughter Rosemary attended exclusive schools, was presented as a debutante to the Queen of England and traveled the world with her high-spirited sisters. And yet, Rosemary was intellectually disabled, a secret fiercely guarded by her powerful and glamorous family. This book brings Rosemary alive as a girl adored but left far behind by her competitive siblings. Kate Larson reveals both the sensitive care Rose and Joe gave to Rosemary and then, as the family’s standing reached an apex, the often desperate and duplicitous arrangements the Kennedys made to keep her away from home. Finally, Larson illuminates Joe’s decision to have Rosemary lobotomized at age twenty-three, and the family’s complicity in keeping the secret. Rosemary delivers a profoundly moving coda: JFK visited Rosemary for the first time while campaigning in the Midwest; she had been living isolated in a Wisconsin institution for nearly twenty years. Only then did the siblings understand what had happened to Rosemary and bring her home for loving family visits. It was a reckoning that inspired them to direct attention to the plight of the disabled, transforming the lives of millions. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access more than 13,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

facebook.com/TheEllicottvilleTimes HV Lessons Continued from front page

Mountain Adventures Children’s Program for Ages 3-11 From the youngest Riglets, Cubs and Li’l Troopers to the upper level Trailblazers and Broncos, HV focuses on letting kids learn as they have fun on the snow. Mountain Adventures, in the Creekside Lodge(next to the Holiday Valley Lodge) groups children by age and ability. Sign up for ski and snowboard programs, rent skis and arrange for lunch all in one location. Lift tickets are free during class. Reservations required for all lessons for 3-, 4- and 5-yearolds by calling (716) 699-3505. Adult Ski and Snowboard Lessons for Ages 12 and Up You’re never too old to learn something new! Private and group lessons ensure the lesson s right for each participant. Newbies can take advantage of Learn to Ski and Learn to Snowboard packages with lessons, rental equipment and lift tickets by signing up at the Creekside Lodge. Lounsbury Adaptive Program The Lounsbury Program, which runs from Dec. 26 through mid-March, has approximately 50 volunteer instructors who are specially trained in adaptive ski teaching methods. The lesson includes a lift ticket, two hours of private instruction and equipment use. Reservations required by calling (716) 699-3504. PSIA and AASI Certified Holiday Valley’s Snowsports School Skiing, snowboarding, cross-country and telemark skiing are taught by instructors who use the National ATM Method, providing consistency with other schools around the country. Instructors attend continuing education clinics to familiarize themselves with the most recent teaching techniques, equipment innovations and the mental aspects of learning and improving one’s skiing or riding. Lessons are available seven days a week and adult

lessons are also available during night skiing hours. According to Rich Rumfola, director of the children’s program at Holiday Valley, about 250 instructors are on staff. “Our instructors are fantastic!” he said. Included in that number are the YETI (Young Enthusiastic Teaching Interns), a group of 14- and 15-year-olds who work with the younger kids. “We hire (YETI) at a young age and they learn from their older peers,” Rumfola said. “They bring a lot of energy and imagination to working with the kids.” In addition to regularly teaching 3-, 4- and 5-year olds, the YETI also assist with the Ranger Program, Holiday Valley’s seasonal lesson group. For those kids and parents who are a little nervous about heading onto the “big hill” that first time, Holiday Valley offers an expansive beginner area. “We have a magic carpet on terrain that’s not intimidating,” Rumfola explained. (For those who don’t know what a “magic carpet” is, it’s like a people mover that you step on with your skis and ride to the top of the hill, so you don’t have to worry about getting onto a tow rope or chairlift your first time out.) In addition, a practice chairlift was built last year, located at the bottom of the magic carpet. “An instructor gets behind it to simulate loading,” explained Rumfola, who added that the instructor then walks the student through the chairlift experience, whichh ends with a simulated unloading. By giving students the knowledge of what to expect beforehand, it alleviates much of the stress and fear of riding a chairlift for the first time. And when students are ready, the School Haus area offers a small chairlift and hill, great for building confidence before heading to the more challenging terrain.

Rumfola also noted that instructors have the kids ski in the level down before they head to the lesson group they signed up for. For example, kids signing up for a lesson on the mountain must first ski on the beginner hill so the instructor can assess their skills. All of these elements combined create a safe and fun atmosphere for learning a snowsport. Looking ahead to 2016, January is National Learn a Snowsport month. Stay tuned to Holiday Valley’s website for special lesson packages all month long. Guinness Project Challenge Jan. 8 If you need an even cooler excuse to learn to ski or snowboard, it doesn’t get much cooler than trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records! On Friday, Jan. 8, you can be part of the organizers of the Learn to Ski and Snowboard Initiative (LSSI) to set the record for the World’s Largest Ski and Snowboard Lessons (WLL) – The “Guinness Project.” At 10 a.m. local time that day, ski resorts all over the country will be offering beginner lessons in the organization’s attempt to set world records for the largest single-venue ski lesson, the largest single-venue snowboard lesson, the largest multi-venue ski lesson and the largest multi-venue snowboard lesson. According to Guinness World Records, the record will be achieved if a single organization (in this case LSSI) can gather the “greatest number of people attending and participating in a skiing [or snowboarding] lesson at multiple locations…” To date, Holiday Valley has signed up to participate, so tell your beginner friends and family members to get psyched! Registration details will be available soon. For more information, visit www.holidayvalley.com.

Holiday Concert at SCA The Season of Light, a performance of holiday music, will take the stage at Springville Center for the Arts on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. Kim and Reggie Harris tour on occasion with their close friends and neighbors, Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino, known as the contemporary folk duo, Magpie. The foursome have released two CDs together, Guide My Feet and Spoken in Love (live concert CD). A Kim, Reggie and Magpie Concert is a moving experience of soaring vocal dynamics matched by a repertoire of inspirational and thought-provoking songs for peace and social justice, music of the Civil Rights movement, and a sprinkling of madness and hilarity. Original music, spirituals, contemporary folk ballads, and always a few timeless tunes by Phil Ochs to round out the evening. From Solstice to Chanukah to Christmas to Kwanzaa,

many cultures and peoples celebrate as the days grow short in the Northern Hemisphere. These gatherings are a reminder of the changing season, of hope and freedom, of new life and new beginnings and of the basic principles for living together. Combining their many talents, Kim and Reggie Harris and Magpie will perform music and tell stories from traditions that mark The Season of Light, celebrating the many common themes of these festivals: the changing seasons, respect for nature, the

quest for freedom, kindness to others, unity, cooperation, purpose and creativity. Many may remember Reggie Harris and Magpie from their performances in the sold-out Civil War music program held at the Center and Historical Society in 2013.

Twin Lakes Homes (716) 492-1480 â&#x20AC;˘ (716) 496-8240 11958 Rt. 16, Yorkshire, NY 14173 www.twinlakeshomes.com

Twin Lakes Homes is a family owned business that has been helping people achieve their housing goals for over 45 years.

and why ďŹ reďŹ ghting is such an important job in our communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Except for entering burning buildings, Explorers will be trained to do everything our regular volunteers do,â&#x20AC;? said Golley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn to handle equipment and hoses and provide support to other volunteers while on the scene.â&#x20AC;? Rob Germain, who is the EFDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Assistant Chief and Training Coordinator, will conduct a monthly training session for the Explorers. In addition, Explorers may attend any or all Tuesday evening trainings for all volunteers and the regular monthly EFD meetings. Germain said Explorers â&#x20AC;&#x153;will receive texts from the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department 911 operator asking them to respond to an emergency. They are permitted to go on as many calls as they can get to,â&#x20AC;? he said.

But Germain points out that parental support is essential to make this work for their children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents have to drive the student to the scene or ďŹ re hall,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so they must be able to commit time to the program as well.â&#x20AC;? For the Germains, being a part of the volunteer ďŹ re community is a family passion. Kris Germain said that there are many extended family members who volunteer, so it was no surprise that Kyle became interested. In fact, Kyle expects to join the department when he turns 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He went on a 2:30 a.m. call recently,â&#x20AC;? she said, and thought â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was pretty cool despite the hour.â&#x20AC;? He also rode on the ďŹ re truck during the Christmas parade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A girl asked for a picture with him instead of Santa,â&#x20AC;? she laughed. Cool factor aside, Golley

emphasizes that there is a severe shortage of ďŹ re department volunteers, especially younger volunteers who can take the place of retiring volunteers. She and the entire department hope that bringing teens in early to learn about the value of giving back to the community and helping others will contribute to future recruitment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also hope that the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parents and other family members will get involved, too,â&#x20AC;? said Rob Germain. The EFD is the only area ďŹ re department to offer an Explorer Program. It is open to teens in Ellicottville and most surrounding towns. For more information, send a message to the EFD through its Facebook page at Ellicottville Volunteer Fire Department. Or call Debbie Golley at 378-1170 or Rob Germain at 699-4293.
