Be Smart, Safe and Winter Olympics 101: Polite When Skiing and Ice Hockey & Curling Snowboarding By Alicia Dziak
By Alicia Dziak
January was National Safety Month, but safety rules and basic etiquette should be season-long priorities when heading to the slopes. When it comes to skiing and snowboarding, there are days the resorts can be busy, and there are days you feel you have the whole place to yourself. While crowd size is a factor, there are important rules to remember every time you’re there.

Last-second Free Throws Send Ellicottville to 59-58 Win By Sam Wilson
Griffin Chudy couldn’t finish the game off with two free throws, so he took it upon himself to make an improbable play, and earn two more. Trailing 58-57, the Ellicottville senior got to the foul line off an inbounds play with five seconds left against archrival Franklinville just as the shot clock expired and 1.8 seconds left in game time. Chudy See ECS Basketball page 5
The countdown is on to the XXIII Olympic Winter Games, which kick off next week in PyeongChang, South Korea. Living where we do, many of the Winter Olympic sports hit close to home, and many Western New Yorkers and Canadians have personal connections to the sports that will soon be televised on an international level. Ice hockey and curling, two team games played on ice, both offer viewers

If the holidays brought you a marriage proposal, the clock is ticking to get your wedding plans underway! From securing a venue to dress shopping to choosing among themes and colors, there’s no shortage of details to figure out before the big day. Even if you aren’t getting married this year, it’s great to keep an eye on the trends, especially with a royal wedding right around the corner this spring! Read on to learn more about this year’s wedding trends and how you can incorporate what you like (and avoid what you don’t!) in your wedding plans. According to Katelyn Mueller, Catering Sales Director and Certified Wedding and Event Planner at Holiday Valley Ski Resort, 2018 is just about booked for the year, with only four openings. It’s certainly not too soon to plan for 2019, especially for the busiest months. “Just like 2017, September and October are really popular months to get married, as the foliage is beautiful that time of year,” said Mueller. “Incorporating greenery in the décor is very popular, as it works for weddings planned throughout the year, including the fall!” Brides magazine concurs, citing greenery as a great alternative to decorating with tulle and lace. “Couples seem to prefer a more natural look, especially with flowers. We’re seeing a lot more wild flowers being incorporated into the décor—flowers that you would actually see in your backyard,” explained Mueller, who is looking forward to her sixth wedding season at Holiday Valley this year. Another big décor trend for 2018 is a move away from traditional pastels to brighter color schemes. Brides magazine cites peach, apricot, vibrant green and coral as popular colors that pair well with other neutrals, including metallics. “Rose gold continues to be popular,” said Mueller, “and it really looks nice paired with other colors throughout the
Sara Bee Photography
seasons. Purple and mauve mixed with a rose gold or a rust metallic has been popular for fall weddings.” Bright colors are echoed in other décor choices; according to The Knot, the biggest online wedding planning service, balloons are making a comeback and are a great, easy way to incorporate lots of color at the reception! Instead of emphasizing tradition, 2018’s weddings are more about reflecting the individual personalities of the couple. Selecting a venue that has special meaning to the couple is very popular, as those who live in the “Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County” often choose Ellicottville because of its beautiful landscapes in the heart of ski country. What better place to capture a love of the outdoors, and especially skiing, than to plan a wedding near the slopes and capture a special moment on the ski lift? The couple’s personality is also reflected in the food and beverage choices at the reception! According to Bridal Guide magazine,
the signature cocktail is always a classic choice to serve at the reception. However, Mueller has noticed couples looking for something else to be served in a martini glass. “A mix of stations creates a more social reception, and the mashed potato bar has been a popular choice! Guests fill a martini glass with one of two kinds of mashed potatoes, a sweet mashed or a rustic style, and select their choice of toppings including different gravies, cheese, and bacon, of course!” Mueller noted that couples who enjoy sushi often include it among their reception offerings, and last year, she noted that more sushi was served at receptions than ever. Whether you’re in love with just a few or all of the latest wedding trends, your big day can be the perfect expression of your unique style and taste! With all of the great services and experience that Ellicottville has to offer, your wedding day is bound to be everything you pictured and so much more.

was time left,” Haskell said. “I trust them (on that). The second one, that was our own (mistake), we didn’t box out. I’d have to see the film to see how he got there so quick and so easy, but that was our fault.” Franklinville got off a slow start, trailing 12-2 in the first quarter and 29-16 in the second, but got within seven at halftime on a buzzer-beater from Kaleb Watts. The Panthers then took a 10-3 run to start the second half, tying it 35-35 and neither team led by more than four again. “As bad as we played, I was elated it was only seven,” Haskell said. “We played a horrible half and to be down seven, we played OK defense holding them to what we did. Our feet weren’t ready for some reason. We were slow to start.” Franklinville got up to speed in the second half, but ended just a few plays short. “We played our game and I think we knew if we played our game we’d be fine and we did for a while,” Haskell said, “but they got a lot of loose balls we didn’t get. We’ve got a better job of that. Even the jump ball rebound, that should have been our rebound. “Our guys played hard, it wasn’t for a lack of effort, but that’s stuff’s going to happen.” Haskell didn’t sound worried about his team’s confidence after the lastsecond loss, which snapped a seven-game win streak. “Oh, they’re fine,” he said. “They feel pretty good about themselves.” Splitting the season series and tied at 6-1 in East II play, Franklinville and Ellicottville would again share the division if both win out.

ECS Basketball made the first, and coach Dave McCann called off his offensive rebounders, looking to avoid a foul in the bonus off a potential miss. Miss he did, but Chudy hustled to his own rebound, got another foul call just as as time expired, officials ruled. Chudy actually had four chances to ice the game after officials called a technical on Franklinville coach Jeff Haskell for arguing. He didn’t need it, sinking the first shot to end a 59-58 CCAA East II victory, avenging a 75-41 loss at Franklinville and putting a co-division championship in play. “They’re a very good team and it’s a rivalry game for us,” McCann said. “We weren’t happy with how we played over at their place. I think the guys had a lot to come out and prove tonight. The last couple of weeks, since that loss, their focus has been different. I think part of it was looking forward to this game, so it meant a lot for them to get this one tonight at home.” Chudy (seven rebounds, three steals) and classmate Elliot Bowen scored 16 points each. Bowen, who set the school’s boys basketball career scoring record two weeks ago, pulled down 10 rebounds to put him at exactly 1,000 for his career. Isaac Kopp scored 17 points (13 in the second half) to lead Franklinville (12-3), while Sam Erickson had 15 and Darren Clark had 10. Austin Grinols chipped in seven points and six boards for the victors. Steven Rowland added 10 points and six rebounds for the Eagles (14-1), one of which helped spark their game-winning sequence. Rowland pulled down an offensive board with 5.4 seconds to play and drew a jump ball, with the possession arrow in Ellicottville’s favor. “Just will,” McCann said of Rowland and Chudy’s two offensive rebounds in the final seconds. “They wanted the ball in that situation and they went and took it, and I’m proud of them. Again it’s an effort play. Rebounding is a lot of effort and it’s a mental thing. I think tonight they got that. Steven’s really come a long way in developing that edge to be a good rebounder.” Cooled off after the game, Haskell didn’t dispute the calls that ended the game. “We fouled him on the first one and they said there

IN NEED OF AN AUDIOLOGIST? Ellicottville’s Noah Stuve (right) pressures Franklinville’s Isaac Kopp on a shot in the first half.
The Eagles had three weeks to stew on their loss at Franklinville and went 5-0 in that period. McCann said their improvements started “the day after that game” and the team called up a freshman, Clayton Rowland, to join its rotation. “We had to be a little bit deeper and a little bit stronger,” McCann said. “We watched film of the first quarter where we really just got outworked in the first game and it was not a pleasant day of practice after that game. It kind of served to refocus the kids and I give them all the credit in the world. My senior captains weren’t going to let that happen again.” Depending on Section 6 Class D seeding, a rubber match could come in March. “It’s very possible we could run into them again,” McCann said. “The Class D is brutal this year. Buffalo East is a really

Health & Fitness
Weight Loss vs. Fat Loss
By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
Are you setting yourself up for failure? Step away from the body weight scale. Let’s stop using the term “weight loss” and instead use the phrase “fat loss.” The term “weight loss” causes us to focus on the wrong things. When participating in a “fat loss” program, solely depending on a standard body weight scale to track your progress can cause frustration and may even set you up for failure. It is very possible that you have been busting your butt in the gym and eating healthy foods, but the scale is displaying your weight as being the same as when you started, even after a few weeks of exercising. Not seeing the numbers change on a scale can create extreme disappointment and ultimately cause you to quit your program – and that just stinks! I can confidently assume that many of you reading this article know exactly what I am talking about. We have all been there at some point… and it’s a godawful feeling. It is that all too common sensation of anticipation you experience while you are standing on top of the scale. You are looking down at that hunk of metal, waiting to see what the wonderful magical number will read, anxious for it to be lower than the last time you stood in this very same position. The number flashes in front of your eyes, it reads the same, as if the scale was frozen in time. The number has not shifted, not even a fraction of a pound. It’s heartbreaking! If you are experiencing
this type of despair, I want you to step FAR away from the scale (put the scale out of sight or even out of your house) and shake off the dissatisfaction you are feeling. You must pause and think for a minute. Do these two things: Take an honest look at what you have done for fitness and nutrition in the past few weeks. Consider all of the methods you have used and should be using to track your fat loss/lifestyle journey and progress. Have you used other markers to record your progress? The scale DOES NOT represent everything that is happening within the body. When the number on the scale does not budge, it is important to remind yourself that the scale only shows you a snippet of what is happening. It is only expressing your total body weight – which includes a lot of things, such as: bones, fat, fluids, hair, muscle, organs and skin. The scale does not tell you the composition of that weight within your body. Your total body weight represented on the scale may be the same as when you started your weight loss program, BUT if you are building muscle mass and losing fat tissue, your body composition will be much different. A non-budging scale is NOT always indicative of something bad. As I mentioned before, because of how muscle and fat is distributed within the body, it is possible to stay the same weight for a bit during a fitness program. If this has happened to you, you may have replaced fat with muscle tissue. I know I keep
hammering this concept, but it is an important one to understand – one (or five) pound(s) of muscle weighs the same as one (or five) pound(s) of fat. Seeing the same number on the scale is not always a terrible thing. Remember, muscle and fat differ in density. One pound of muscle is going to occupy less space or volume within the body than one pound of fat. When you increase muscle and lose fat, the scale number may stay the same or increase, but you will be leaner and stronger. You will most likely lose inches from places such as your waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms, etc. It’s true, you may be the same weight as when you started, but you may have lost inches – and losing inches is something to be proud of! Don’t let that scale tell you otherwise! Focus less on the body weight scale readings – use other tracking methods. When you become less obsessed with scale readings and more focused on what truly matters with your program, success will follow. It is silly to only rely on a body weight scale. Allowing a scale to dictate your progress and how you feel is unhealthy and leads to disordered thinking, eating and habits. The number on a scale conceals the truth of what is happening within the body. This is why it is important to use more than one method to track your progress. I cannot stress this enough. The most accurate way to assess your health and fitness progress is to use a wide variety of body measurements and health markers. The more, the better. Five methods for assessing body composition include: • Body composition testing • Circumference/girth measurements • The old-fashioned “how-do-your-clothes-fitand-feel method” • Before and after photos • Progress journal Other ways to track progress include recording your strength, flexibility, mobility, heart rate, blood pressure, VO2 max, etc. When you put all of these assessment tools together, you will create an accurate picture of what is truly happening within the body. By using multiple sources of data, you can distinguish whether or not you are on the right track with your health and fitness training programs.

CRCF Elects Five Board Members
The Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation recently elected five board members, four of whom formerly served on the board and bring back a high level of expertise to the organization. Dr. Naheed Hilal, Audra Stevens, Ward “Skip” Wilday, Dennis Pezzimenti and Andrew Caya were all elected to the Foundation’s 2018 board of directors. Dr. Hilal, Stevens and Wilday all served the maximum three consecutive three-year terms allowed under foundation bylaws. They were eligible to be elected again after one year off the board. Pezzimenti served as a designated board member representing the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce before being elected to the CRCF board this year. “I look forward to working with our board members, both returning and new, to continue the mission of ‘growing good’” said Wendy Brand, CRCF board president. “The
CRCF Board of Directors members truly provide an important element in the ongoing revitalization and improvement of Cattaraugus County and the surrounding area.” A founding member of the Foundation’s board of directors, Wilday will also act as vice president and serve on the executive and marketing and donor development committees. In 2017, Wilday and his wife, Greta, received the Friends of the Foundation award, the foundation’s highest honor, for their service and dedication. The Wildays established the Kaleigh Wilday Endowment Fund in memory of their dear daughter in 2002. Wilday is the executive director of Morgan Stanley. Dr. Hilal had first joined the board of directors in 2003. She has served on both the investment and scholarship committees. This time she will serve on the investment and allocations committees. Dr. Hilal and her husband, Dr. Ahmad Hilal,
together established the Hilal Family Fund, which makes annual grants to area charities and makes possible a scholarship for Allegany-Limestone students pursuing a career in a health care- or education-related field. Dr. Hilal is a retired obstetrician and gynecologist. Stevens served her first term on the board of directors starting in 2008. During her time on the board, and after, she acted as a member of the allocations, finance and marketing and donor development committees, the latter of which she chaired. On her return to the board she joins the marketing committee. Stevens is the sales and marketing manager of the Olean Area Federal Credit Union. Pezzimenti joined the board in 2014 in the designated member position. He served as a member of the investment committee and will continue on that committee. Pezzimenti was also
instrumental in establishing the ChautauquaCattaraugus Board of Realtors Scholarship at CRCF. Pezzimenti is a Howard Hanna Realty broker. He was named the 2017 “Realtor of the Year” by the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Board of Realtors. Caya will serve his first term as a designated board member from the Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce, where he currently is GOACC board treasurer. He joins the scholarship committee. Caya is a partner of Caya’s Canopies. “I strongly believe that our Foundation has one of the most dedicated and motivated board of directors among the many nonprofit organizations in the region,” said CRCF Executive Director Karen Niemic Buchheit. “We are so lucky to be able to welcome these individuals back to the board as well as bring on a brand new member,” Buchheit expressed. “Each of our veteran directors has played a role in building the CRCF board into the trusted and dedicated group it is today.” Established in 1994, the Cattaraugus Region Community Foundation is growing good by connecting donors to the causes they care about most in the region. Grants from the foundation support many areas, including education, scholarships, health care, the arts, community development, human service, and youth development. To learn more, call (716) 301-CRCF (2723), email foundation@ cattfoundation.org, or visit online at www. cattfoundation.org. CRCF is also on Facebook (facebook.com/ cattfoundation) and Twitter (@CattFoundation).

“Dark In Death” by J.D. Robb
On a chilly February night, during a screening of Psycho in midtown, someone sunk an ice pick into the back of Chanel Rylan’s neck, then disappeared quietly into the crowds of drunks and tourists in Times Square. To Chanel’s best friend, who had just slipped out of the theater for a moment to take a call, it felt as unreal as the ancient black-and-white movie up on the screen. But Chanel’s blood ran red, and her death was anything but fictional. As Lieutenant Eve Dallas puzzles over the homicide that seems carefully planned and yet oddly personal, she receives a tip from an unexpected source: an author of police thrillers who recognizes the crime from the pages of her own book. This killer seems to find inspiration in someone else’s imagination, and if the theory holds, this may be only the second of a longrunning series. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,300 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Fresh Smart Cafe Offers Healthy Food Options at Nature’s Remedy By Rich Place
A relatively new way to grab-and-go nutritious and delicious meals has made its way into Nature’s Remedy at 26 Monroe St. in Ellicottville. Fresh Smart Cafe, led by chef Erin Horton, added the new location last autumn for hungry customers to pick up ready made healthy foods. Nature’s Remedy is one of three area locations, with the other two — Springville Health & Fitness and Fresh Floral and Gifts — in Springville. From the paleo salad to fresh veggie Thai wraps, the products are prepared ready to eat, allowing customers short on time to walk into Nature’s Remedy and grab-and-go. “I wanted to get products
through a natural and organic distributor,” Horton explained about her early interactions with Nature’s Remedy. “I knew they got deliveries from them so I mentioned I could order my stuff through them. We started talking more and they asked if I wanted to sell the food there, too.” A lifelong foodie, Horton also owns and operates Edible Crush Catering, which caters events both locally and in the Buffalo area. In fact, she’ll be catering the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce Awards Dinner held this weekend. And she balances that with Fresh Smart Cafe, which requires her to develop the menus, prepare and package the food and
deliver it to the three host businesses, a number she’s hoping to expand into places like East Aurora and Orchard Park, too. “I alternate days,” she said while preparing a tray of bacon and a container of kale from her commercial kitchen on East Main Street in Springville. “I will come down generally on Monday and I’ll spend the day prepping and cooking. On Tuesday, we’ll package and deliver. “On Wednesday, depending on how it needs to go, I’m out delivering to the community. We have systems in place to communicate inventory levels and rotation of food. Based on that, I prepare, deliver and make sure everything is full and fresh.” The idea started in cooperation with Spring Creek Athletic Club late last spring before Horton just this month moved the cafe to Springville Health and Fitness. She also added the menu at Fresh Floral and Gifts in January. Previously working out of Buffalo until mid-summer, Horton now lives and works right in Springville. Horton is a graduate of Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and welcomed the opportunity recently to be more independent with these two similar food businesses. “All I know is food, that’s all I’ve ever done,” she said. “I love people. I love making people happy and food makes people happy.

When you are a check, 99 percent of the time people are happy to see you. “It’s what I love; I love to play with food,” she added. “Some people love to play with graphics, some people love to play with fabric and material, food is my medium and the only one I know and I love it.” And when it comes to food, Horton is dedicated to making it not only healthy, but also tasty. As she spoke during an interview last week, she took a handful of kale out of a container on the counter. “Do you like kale?” she asked. “I make a cilantro vinaigrette and drizzle it on there and it marinates the kale pretty quick. That actually tastes really good and it’s healthy for you. I
guess that’s my main goal. “I like to make things healthy, fresh and delicious and you could surprise yourself if you try something you don’t normally try.” She said she uses whole grain, healthy breads and lean meats like chicken and turkey breast, usually. And she uses lots of vegetables, often complemented with a healthy dressing. “I make the sauces, which I think make them stand apart from the rest,” she said. “I use mostly nonfat Greek yogurt to make a mock mayo, so it’s a lot healthier that way.” The menu at Nature’s Remedy differs from what the Springville locations offer, with diets like paleo, gluten-free and vegan more
popular in Ellicottville. “It’s a different market down there,” she said about Ellicottville. “So we use different breads, different wraps and do things just a little bit different. Some of the items are similar, some are marketed just for Ellicottville.” The dressings and marinades are all glutenfree, she said, and she has gluten-free options as long as orders are made in advance. Menus at the location change based on demand and consumer preferences. Grab-and-go items at Nature’s Remedy are available during regular business hours.

Skiing Safety Continued from front page
Unloading/Loading Do: Be quick. Grab your gear, set it on the racks, get back into your car and drive away. Don’t: Take your sweet time. Especially on busy days, when there is a line of cars behind you, you should not be doing things like getting all your gear on curbside or grabbing
your lift tickets while your vehicle is sitting in the prime parking spot. The 5 minute limit is there for a reason. Be courteous of all the other people hoping to get out onto the slopes too. Lodges Do: Bring a meal from home to enjoy. According to Holiday Valley’s marketing director,
Jane Eshbaugh, the “designated” picnic lodge is Tannenbaum, where you can picnic on both floors. “When we built that Lodge, we put in extra plugs for Crockpots,” she said. The main Holiday Valley Lodge allows picnicking on the top floor, Yodeler allows it on the ground floor, with two rooms that feature counter areas and plugs. Don’t: Leave your cooler and every component of your meal on a table for the duration of your stay. Keep it on the table when in use, and off when not in use. Pick up your trash so someone else doesn’t have to do it. Eshbaugh also noted that guests should “be conscious of the people who buy food in the cafeterias and need a place to sit so putting your picnic basket on the floor or in a cubby is just the polite thing to do!” Do: Get comfy when getting your gear on or off. Take some time to catch up
with your group or enjoy a hot chocolate. Don’t: Store your gear and bags on the chairs and tables. These are here for everyone to enjoy, and are not reserveable for the day (think towels sitting on lounge chairs when you’re on vacation—the towel has been saving that perfect chair all day, yet the person who owns the towel has yet to be seen). When not using the tables and chairs, put your gear in or on top of the cubbies, or along the outside wall and out of the way. Chairlifts Do: Be courteous to others by taking your turn in line. On busy days, staff members will help everyone navigate the lines, but on less busy days, you will have to figure it out yourself. There can be several lines merging into one, so alternate between lines and get to the front in an orderly fashion. Do your best to line up in the order
Make a plan.
Every time you use freestyle terrain, make a plan for each feature you want to use. Your speed, approach and take off will directly affect your maneuver and landing.
Look before you leap.
Scope around the jumps first, not over them. Know landings are clear, and clear yourself out of the landing area.
Easy style it.
Start small and work your way up. (Inverted aerials not recommended).
Respect gets respect. From the liftlilne through the park.
you arrived at the lift line. No one likes a budger! Fill the chair on busy days. The more people who share a chair, the faster the line goes, and who knows—you might make a new friend! If you are skiing solo, head to the singles line (usually the narrowest line on the outside edge of the main line) and hop on with a group of three. Don’t: Purposely go out of turn or merge in front of another group at a point that’s not the back of the line. The end of the yellow line markers is not the place to hang out until your group arrives, and then push your way into the middle of the line. On the slopes Do: Know the code
(pictured above) and be in control. “I think the most important rule from the Responsibility Code is to always be in control so you can stop or avoid objects or other people,” Eshbaugh said. “Everyone is responsible for their own actions.” Be aware of your surroundings and adjust your behavior accordingly. Yes, that means please no scream-swearing with your buddies when there are little kids around! Don’t: Be rude or unsafe. Becoming familiar with basic safety rules and etiquette will make the skiing/snowboarding experience a positive one for you and everyone around you!

numerous opportunities to check them out during the games. Ice Hockey With both Buffalo and Toronto boasting professional ice hockey teams, many local Olympic fans are familiar with the sport. This is a fastpaced game in which two teams attempt to hit a puck into their opponent’s goal using sticks, while preventing the puck from entering their own goal. Like several other winter Olympic sports, ice hockey games take place on an ice rink, and six players from each team are permitted on the ice at a time (one goaltender, two defense and three offense.) Players who commit a penalty are removed from the game for a period of time, during which the other team has a player advantage. The top four teams compete for the three medals in the two final games. In the Olympic Winter Games program, there are separate ice hockey competitions for men and women, and two sets of medals are awarded. NHL players will not be participating in the Olympic games, as they have in the past five Olympics, so there will be no Sabres or Leafs to cheer for this time around. The NHL cited several reasons for the decision, including shutting down their league for 17 days for the duration of the games when hockey is not competing with other sports such as football and baseball, increased risk of injury due to the compressed schedule and and injuries sustained during Olympic play, in which players return to the NHL afterwards only to miss games. (Read more at nhl.com.)
Ice hockey events begin Feb. 10, with medal games starting on Feb. 21. Curling Curling is a game played between two four-person teams, was a demonstration sport in the Olympic Games as early as 1932 but has only been an official Olympic sport since 1998. Three sets of medals are awarded for this sport in the Olympics — one for men and one for women, and new this year, one set for the mixed doubles curling event, in which each team is composed of two players, one male and one female. Curling is played on ice with team members delivering a 19.96 kg (44 lbs.) stone to a circular target area called the house. Competitors aim to get the stone closer to the center of the house than any stone of the opposing team. Athletes in this event wear special curling shoes with different soles. One has a slippery sole, worn on the sliding foot, and the other is made from rubber to provide traction. Each curling game consists of 10 “ends.” During each end, each player steers two stones (for a total of eight per team) toward the house, alternating with the opposing team. Team members not physically pushing the stone use brooms to sweep the ice surface in front of the stone to reduce friction. The score is determined once all 16 stones have been delivered to the house. In case of a tie at the conclusion of 10 ends, extra ends are played until one team wins. Curling events run daily throughout the games, with medals being awarded on Feb. 13, Feb. 23, 24 and 25. For more info, visit www.nbcolympics.com and pyeongchang2018.com.
