It’s Time for Pond Skimming!
LIVE Music
Spring is officially here, which means time for spring skiing! Since the early 2000s, the annual Pond Skimming event has been a great way to welcome the season, and this year it returns on Saturday, March 24. This wet and wild event is a great way to take advantage of the rising temps and melting snow. Those in the know wear creative costumes, ski down the hill, and at the bottom, skim across an icy cold pond. If you’ve never noticed a pond at the bottom of Yodeler, that’s because it’s there for this event and this event only! The pond is created from the huge mound of snow used for the Winter Carnival Snowbar. A Snowcat digs the hole, which is then covered with a tarp and the snowmaking system is used to fill it up. Since the water is cold to begin with, and surrounded by snow, the end

Ellicottville Seniors Help Lift NY to Pair of Senior Classic Victories By Sam Wilson
One doesn’t necessarily consider defense a factor when looking at a 104-99 final score in a high school basketball game. But the Big 30 Basketball Senior Classic is no ordinary game setting, so New York boys coach Mike Ruether on Sunday, will take holding the Pennsylvania seniors to 99. It’s actually a 30-point improvement from last year, when Pennsy took a 129-90 final score in the third annual Classic in a game

ECS Board Reviews Spending Plan Draft
By Kathleen Kellogg
Ellicottville Central School's Board of Education continued to tinker with an updated draft of a 20182019 spending plan during a Tuesday night work session in the High School Library. Officials did not release specific details about the budget proposal, which will be discussed at future work sessions and unveiled in time for a public hearing at 7 p.m. May 8 in the High School Cafeteria. Residents of the School District will
vote on the plan May 15. School superintendent Bob Miller told the Board members that it will be a "tight" budget in the coming year due to increases in health care costs, insurance, wage increases and the minimum wage hike in New York State. "We'll fully utilize the two percent tax cap to get through this," Miller said, noting there will be unanticipated costs, such as new kids moving into the district who will expect
programs and services. Last May, district residents voted approval for the $12,319,921 budget for the 2017-2018 school year. Business Manager Aimee Kilby provided Board members with some updates, spreadsheets and documents to consider while working on the draft budget. Miller pointed out some line items where savings could be realized. He said See ECS Board page 5

Make Your Own Easter Candy
By Mary Heyl
Anyone with young children has probably been asked: Why does the Easter bunny bring eggs, even though bunnies don’t lay eggs? In many cultures around the world, the egg is a symbol of new life and rebirth. The traditional Christian celebration of Easter symbolizes the resurrection of Christ with the Easter egg: the hard shell represents the sealed Tomb of Christ and cracking the shell represents Christ’s resurrection. Historically, Christians would abstain from eating eggs and meat during Lent, and Easter was the first chance to eat them after 40 days. Even if you don’t plan on cracking a few hard boiled eggs this Easter, surely you will enjoy a candy egg or two. Why not give the Easter bunny a hand this year and make your own candy eggs? Get started by making Crunchy Chocolate Eggs with Taste of Home’s easy test-kitchen verified recipe! In a heavy saucepan, combine 1 cup of packed brown sugar, 1 cup of light corn syrup and 1 cup of peanut butter (low fat variety is not recommended). Cook and stir over medium heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in 2 cups of cornflakes, 2 cups of crisped rice cereal and ½ cup of finely chopped peanuts. When the mixture is cool

enough to handle, drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Form into egg shapes and refrigerate until firm. In the microwave, melt 3 ¾ cups of semisweet chocolate chips and 1 ½ teaspoons of shortening in a bowl; stir until smooth. Dip the eggs in the chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place the eggs on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Decorate with candy sprinkles and let stand until set. This recipe makes about 4 ½ dozen eggs to share…or eat! So much Easter candy, so little time! Who can make it out of the grocery store without a few bags of pastelcolored chocolate candies or eggs? Put these candies and your imagination to good use with these easy edible Easter Egg nests! Find your favorite sugar cookie recipe or a pouch of sugar cookie mix and mix according to the recipe or package instructions while the oven is preheating. Shape the dough into 36 (1 ¼” ) balls or more and place in ungreased mini muffin cups. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the edges are light golden brown. Immediately, press an indentation into each with the end of a wooden spoon (not your thumb—cookies are hot!). Cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes. Remove the cookies to a serving plate. Make your own frosting or scoop some ready-made frosting into a plastic bag.

It’s officially spring, which means spring cleaning, garden planning and home improvement projects are probably on your mind! Even though the weather is too cold and unpredictable for outdoor projects right now, it’s a great time of year to start that interior painting project! Whether you’re sprucing up your kitchen cabinets, repainting a few accent walls, or tackling a whole room, March is the perfect time of year to get out your brushes and get busy. While painting indoors is usually a much simpler task than exterior painting, there’s more to it than opening a gallon of paint and brushing it on the wall. Spending a small amount of time planning and prepping the surface can save a lot of time and money down the road and is certainly worth the trouble. After all, if this is a room you and your family spend a lot of time in— go the extra mile, since you’re going to be living in (and looking at!) this space every day. Longer stretches of daylight provide more time to paint and warmer temperatures mean that windows can be cracked open for faster drying and ventilation—what are your waiting for? Head to your local home improvement or hardware store and pick up some paint samples. If you’re going for a more drastic color change, consider painting a piece of foam core board in each sample. Tack them on different walls throughout the day to get an idea of what the color will look like in the morning, afternoon and evening. This will help you narrow down your selection with a minimum investment of just a few samples rather than several non-returnable gallons of
Your Ultimate Source for Quality Equipment, Parts & Service
mixed paint. Once you’ve committed to a color, estimate the size of the room and plan to purchase one gallon of paint for every 400 square feet of wall space. Be sure to buy extra paint if the walls are texturized or unprimed. Even gallons of paint that have been purchased in a single transaction can still have a slight color variation due to the store’s color mixer. While color variation may not be noticeable upon first glance, any variation will be obvious on a large wall in your living room. To remedy this, mix all of the paint together in a fivegallon bucket. Then, fit a roller screen into the bucket, which will eliminate the need to fill and refill paint trays. Paint doesn’t stick very well to dirty or dusty surfaces, so take the time to wipe everything down so that the paint will adhere to the surface evenly. High traffic areas, like the kitchen and living room, usually need some extra attention, as kitchen cabinets, baseboards, and doorways in these rooms frequently come into contact with oily or dirty hands. Use warm soapy water to wipe down these surfaces, and for baseboards and crown molding that are simply dusty, use an old paintbrush or china bristle brush to dust them before taping them. Now it’s time for the real work to begin! Pick up a nylon bristle brush for
•
water-based latex paints (this is the majority of interior paints) and use a natural bristle paintbrush for oil-based paints, as the water-based paint will dry out these brushes. Tempting as it may be to load the brush with as much paint as possible, just dip half the bristles into the paint and tap the brush on the lip of the can to get rid of the excess paint. Hold the brush near the base of the handle and paint with enough pressure to bend the bristles slightly. If you’re using a roller, slowly roll it into the paint tray or screen. Roll it back and forth until it is evenly coated with paint and cover about a 2-foot square using the “N” pattern. Cross roll to spread the paint and fill in the “N” before moving on to another surface. Always make sure to remove the extra paint by thoroughly rolling the roller in the tray so that paint doesn’t spray everywhere when you’re rolling it on the wall! Wait about three hours in between coats of paint or the approximate dry-time listed on the paint can. Allow at least 24 hours before putting furniture back into the space or on the surface so that the paint has plenty of time to harden. Relax and enjoy your first spring project (just don’t forget to put the lids back on those paint cans!).

ECS NEWS Big 30 Basketball Continued from front page
that saw 33 total threepointers. The senior hoops teams made fewer treys this year (27 total), but still flashed their abilities in a tighter contest, as Ellicottville guard Austin Grinols and center Elliot Bowen scored 16 points each in pacing a balanced New York effort. Nathan Schneider of St. Mary’s led all scorers with 22 points for Pennsylvania. Ryan Newton (Elk County Catholic) added 13, Adam Shaffer (Cameron County) scored 10 and Johnny Mitchell (Ridgway) marked six rebounds. “More than what the score indicates,” Ruether said of his team’s effort on defense. “I didn’t think we did a nice job on the offensive glass, that’s where we struggled the most, but there was a lot of effort. You saw kids hitting the floor, going for loose balls. I didn’t think it was the normal all-star game where kids were getting out of the way, letting people dunk the ball. It didn’t get out of hand. It was a a darn good basketball game and when I looked up at the score I was amazed it was so high.” Bowen led New York with seven rebounds. Grinols (three assists, three steals) hit five three-pointers in his 16-point effort, while Franklinville’s Isaac Kopp hit four for 12 points, three assists and three steals. Franklinville’s Sam Erickson added 14 points, five boards and three steals and New Life Christian’s Dawit Hutter scored 11 points. “I thought we jelled pretty good from the beginning,” said Bowen, who plans to continue playing at Alfred University. That includes playing with some new teammates for the first time after a short practice session with coach Mike Ruether, formerly the varsity coach at Allegany-Limestone. “There were three guys that we’ve never (played) before,” Grinols said. “We’ve seen them in tournaments before, but we’ve never seen Dawit before. He’s a pretty good player. “It was such a pleasure to be invited to something like this and perform in front of the crowd,” Grinols added of the Senior Classic Experience. Tied 89-89, New York scored the next five points and didn’t allow Pennsy within a onescore difference again. Franklinville’s Darren Clark brought the crowd to its feet with a half-court shot in a bit of confusion, hearing a coach yell “10 seconds” — referring to the next media timeout for mandatory substitutions — before Clark grabbed a rebound, turned to take a dribble and drained the half-court jumper for a 94-89 lead. Of his overall strategy, Ruether stressed ball control, but admitted he kept the sideline coaching simple.
“We really talked about keeping it simple and make good passes, not great passes,” he said. “Protecting the ball was key and subbing every four minutes like that, it’s difficult to get dynamic going with a group because they’re changing all the time, but to their credit, they hit some big threes when they needed to, they came back and tied it and then (A-L’s) McAfee hit that huge three for us (for an 89-83 lead). And Elliot Bowen is just a beast on the boards. I had so much fun coaching these guys. They listened well, we only had like 20 minutes and drew up two simple out of bounds plays, a little offense, but they’re so unselfish. I had a great time. It was a lot of fun.” GIRLS GAME New York 81, Pennsylvania 80 The opening game of the fourth annual Big 30 Basketball Senior Classic Sunday at Portville Central School provided one of the best finishes, and closest contests of the Classic’s short history. Allegany-Limestone’s Morgan Davis showed the value of having a center who makes free throws, going 2-for-2 with three seconds to play to push the New York girls ahead of Pennsylvania, 81-80, an Empire State victory sealed as Pennsy’s lastsecond heave missed. Davis finished with team-highs in points (18), rebounds (10) and assists (three) while pacing New York. Wellsville’s Jordyn Pettit added 11 points, five boards, three steals and two blocks. “Playing with the other girls today was really fun,” Davis said. “The coach we had (Wellsville’s Michelle Alvord) was really laid back so we all just had a lot of fun together. We all came in just thinking we were going to have fun and we wanted to win it ultimately. It was nice to play some different competition than just girls from New York.” New York took a 32-21 lead with just under six minutes to play in the first half, but Pennsylvania stormed back with a 17-6 run to tie the game at 38 before NY settled for a 43-38 halftime lead. Pennsy started the second half strong, taking a 6759 lead with 10 minutes left, before a back-andforth final few minutes. Trailing 77-74 with two minutes to play, Alvord put her starters back in, and Davis scored five of her team’s final seven points, and dished the assist to Ellicottville’s Evelyn Cortez for the tying basket, 79-79, with 20 seconds to play. Then, a New York foul put Otto-Eldred’s Camryn Thomas at the line, where she made one of two with 10 seconds left before Davis drove to the basket and drew the last-second foul for her go-ahead free throws. Thomas led Pennsylvania with 19 points and seven boards.
Emily Fullem (Ridgway) added 16 points, Ali Cousins (O-E) had 12 and Rebecca Morgan (Northern Potter) marked five steals. Cortez finished with 12 points for New York. New Life Christian’s Emie Taylor added eight rebounds, three steals and three blocks while Portville’s Mady Domster and A-L’s Molly Wolfgang grabbed five boards each. “Even in the first half, that was some really good basketball,” Alvord said. “I’ll be honest, I’m not as familiar with the PA girls, but I thought that No. 10, (Emily) Fullem, she was just impressive, and then No. 22, Camryn Thomas. We actually scrimmaged Northern Potter, so I was familiar with the (Kalie) Cowburn girl and I had just said she can get hot and then she hit a quick three. “My expectation was to make it about the girls and to showcase the talent that we have in our area in the Big 30. I think that they really proved themselves tonight because I thought for both sides it was a great game.” BOYS GAME Pennsylvania (99) Drummond 2 0-0 4, Schneider 7 7-8 22, Shaffer 4 1-3 10, Raubenstrauch 2 0-0 5, MacDonald 4 0-1 8, Terwilliger 2 0-0 5, Henry 2 0-2 4, Green 3 0-0 7, Breier 3 0-0 7, Newton 5 0-0 13, Mitchell 3 0-0 9, Ricke 2 0-0 5.

ECS Students Walk Out By Louisa Benatovich, ECS Student reporter
On Feb. 14, a lone gunman opened fire on a school in Parkland, Fla. Seventeen innocent students were killed; 14 were injured; millions became angry. In the following weeks, studentled protests were held around the country, drawing national media attention. The homemade signs waved above heads, the rhythmic chants, and the passionate speeches all broadcast one message: change has to be made in America. This is a call to disarm. On March 14, one month after the massacre, a New York statewide school walkout was planned. The idea was simple: at 10 a.m., students would leave their classrooms for 17 minutes, a minute for every life lost. Many schools planned to participate. Ellicottville was one of them… At 9:58, we checked our phones (the school’s ancient analog clocks were all behind due to daylight savings). At 10, we left. The teacher continued to instruct, having been directed to do so by ECS principal, Erich Ploetz. “I believe part of our core mission is to teach students how to express themselves, so early in the planning phase of the walkout I determined I was not interested in disciplinary consequences,” Ploetz said. “Logistically, this was a student-led event, so ECS administration wanted to take as small a role as possible while providing adequate safety measures and supervision. With a sign-out sheet and passes back to class, we felt this was an appropriate manner in which to keep track of student attendance. I was interested in learning as much as I could from our student body, particularly those choosing to take a
stand in the name of school safety, so an optional survey was designed.” These surveys asked pointed questions like “What made you decide to participate in this walkout?” and “What statement are you trying to make?” While filling out our surveys in the cafeteria, we were accosted by fellow students. “You’re not making any difference!” they yelled, a room’s width to protect them. “You don’t know what you’re protesting.” I brushed it off, proclaiming my First Amendment rights. (They feel quite good to say aloud.) More students joined the throng, and we made our way outside. Our superintendent, Bob Miller, and Cattaraugus County Sheriff Deputy Joseph Yerpe stood watching over us. Our safety was their priority. I looked around the group. It was a mixed bunch, ranging from middle-schoolers to seniors. Many were laughing and talking, not understanding the purpose of our civil disobedience. “Be quiet, everyone,” a voice cut through the snow. It was a student. “We need to be silent for the lives lost.” The crowd quieted, but I still heard whispers. I knew that many of these students only came because of their friends; they came to get out of class. A semi-circle of students stood at the edge of the crowd, holding hands in solidarity. Their eyes were closed, mourning. Another student cried in her hands, hiding. The silent of us understood. The others, huddled in their microgroups, whispered and giggled. I was sure I’d see some pictures surface on social media later that day, perhaps pictures of their feet with an unspecific caption like “Making a
Difference *heart emoji*.” Were we making a difference? In the grand scheme of things, 35 high school students standing in the snow for 17 minutes does very little. It doesn’t bring back the lost Floridians, it doesn’t change gun control laws, and it certainly doesn’t provide the kind of help to stop every single potential school shooter. I’m sure we were laughed at, standing there. I can just imagine it: “What do those kids think they are doing?” We are the generation of the selfie stick, the generation of Snapchat and Instagram, the generation too lost in their iPhones to see the world around us. Right? Wrong. This walkout was to commemorate those that died, yes, but it was also to support students just like us trying to make change. We are the discounted youth, subjected to ageism and criticism. We are chastised for doing nothing, and admonished for doing something. It’s a catch-22, and that’s excluding the peers that don’t agree with our views. This walk-out wasn’t meant to change the world; it was meant to be a catalyst. Its goal was to inspire action, whether it’s writing to your senator or making a connection with the kid that sits all alone at lunch. I chose not to quote students in this article; I didn’t want anyone to be singled out. This isn’t about who you vote for or what you believe in. This isn’t about one person. This is about making our futures, and those of the ones we love, safe. I believe, perhaps too optimistically, that we can find a solution as a school, as a town, as a country. I believe change can be made.
ECS Board Continued from front page
among these are a cutback on the summer school program and an evening school bus will be in service two days instead of three. Also, the lease rotation for the District's seven school buses will contain an extension for two of the small buses, and in June, two of the larger buses will be traded in. Voters will be asked to approve a proposition on May 15 for two new 66-passenger buses. Next year, Miller
said, the proposition will be worded to provide one new 66-passenger bus and two smaller buses. During the discussion, Board members commented about projections for increased costs for substitute teachers, and a return to full assessment for the Wingate Hotel that had been subject to the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency's tax abatement incentives in the form of
49
payments-in-lieu-of-taxes over the past decade. Following the budget discussion, the Board closed the session to deal with negotiations and a personnel matter. According to the school calendar on the District website, the Board will host a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. March 27 on the topic of a repair reserve. The regular meeting of the Board will follow in the library at 7 p.m.

Two Bike Path Projects Planned for ASP
By Alicia Dziak
In a recent press release, New York State and Parks & Trails New York announced $450,000 in state grants to 21 organizations dedicated to the stewardship and promotion of New York State parks, historic sites and public lands. Among the recipients, Friends of Allegany State Park will receive $4,250 for the construction of approximately two miles of new, narrow tread trail, as part of the park’s master plan. Funds will cover the materials for the trail, new signage, and informational kiosks and maps. The trail will be created in collaboration with the Western New York Mountain Bike Association (WNYMBA). According to Allegany State Park manager Tom Livak, this project is being done in cooperation with Allegany State Park and will be located in the Summit Area of the Park, with the trailhead located on Stone Tower Road. The Friends of Allegany State Park will have to raise an additional $375 in cash and $375 labor in matching funds, for a total of $5,000 towards the project. “This project was previously included in the 2010 Allegany State Park Master Plan and coincides with another grant that NYS OPRHP just received federal authorization to proceed with under the Recreational Trails Program (RTP),” explained Livak. “The RTP Grant authorizes the project to enter the Preliminary Design Phase for a 3.5 mile section (Phase 1/Loop 1) of the ‘singletrack’ trail for use by mountain bikers and hikers. $3,000 has been authorized under this phase with future phases of Final Design and Construction expected to follow. WNYMBA will be the driving force for the development of this project at Allegany State Park and has already worked closely with park management to create some highly popular ‘singletrack’ riding in the Summit Area of the Park (3.3 mile Old Thunder Run).” “We actually have already started Phase I of the project and will continue to work on it all year,” said WNYMBA president, Jacob Bodway. “We hope the project will be completed in a couple years, depending on the amount of volunteers and the weather conditions. All told, the project will include eight miles of singletrack
at the Stone Tower, with an additional proposed 12 miles at Cain Hollow.” WNYMBA is actively working on fundraising and volunteer recruitment for the project. “Currently, we are doing a raffle for two fat bike frames from Growler Performance Bikes,” explained Bodway. “We did the same raffle last fall and raised $1,400. We hope to match that amount again.” He added that the group also just finished the club’s beer release fundraiser at Flying Bison Brewing Company in Buffalo. “I believe that we raised $1,800 from various raffles and beer tickets from that event,” Bodway said. WNYMBA’s relationship with the park dates to the Raccoon Rally race, which has taken place in June for the last 25 years or so. “Allegany State Park was one of the few places in WNY that allowed mountain biking back in the day,” Bodway noted. “Thankfully, other county parks and state forests have granted WNYMBA access to build new multi-use singletrack throughout the region. We currently have trails at McCarty Hill State Forest, Hunter’s Creek County Park, Sprague Brook County Park, Golden Hill State Forest, Letchworth State Park, and Harris Hill State Forest.” WNYMBA is always looking for volunteers to help with trail work, and it’s no different for the Stone Tower Trail at Allegany State Park. “We plan to have a trail work weekend on April 7-8 (as long as the snow is mostly gone) and will continue to have trail days all summer,” Bodway said. “We post our trail work days on Meetup, on our WNYMBA website, and on our Facebook page.” The Quaker side of the park will also benefit from grant money designated for improving the experience for bike riders. Allegany State Park just received Federal Authorization for the Preliminary Design Phase under a Recreation Trails Program grant from Federal Highway Administration and NYS DOT. The
federal authorization permits preliminary design expenditures in an amount of $31,250 which is part of a phased approval approach under the RTP grant program that will ultimately lead to final design and construction approvals at some point in the future as the project advances. According to Livak, this project focuses on an approximate 1.25 mile section of bike trail in the Quaker Area of Allegany State Park, specifically from Kaiser Cabin Trail area down to the Quaker General Store, adjacent to the Quaker Rental Office. This project will include both renovation of the existing 2650’ bike trail and development of 4050’ of additional trail. The overall trail project will include a paved pathway and the installation of three 60’ bridges and one 20’ bridge. This project was previously identified and approved in the 2010 Allegany State Park Master Plan. “We look forward to working to bring both of these very worthwhile projects to fruition here at Allegany State Park,” Livak said. Other local grant recipients include: Friends of Reinstein Nature Preserve: $47,411 to hire a Development Manager to cultivate a sustainable donor base and expand the organization’s funding sources in the areas of corporate giving, foundation giving, and planned giving. These actions will increase the long-term viability of Friends of Reinstein Woods, and foster improvements to the educational and stewardship programs supported by Reinstein Woods. Friends of Letchworth State Park: $12,530 to fund a planning document along with two architectural project reports that will allow the Friends group to more effectively manage and fund projects that will move forward the ongoing effort to preserve the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) legacy in Letchworth State Park.

Health & Fitness: Posture Perfect
By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
There is a physical deformity crisis that has been developing for years. I see it on a daily basis on the streets, in restaurants and even in my studio. I refer to it as “Schlumpliness.” That’s right— schlumpliness, which means posture befitting our prehistoric predecessors. Just picture the prehistoric man with rounded shoulders, slouching necks, dragging their knuckles, only, in today’s version, they walk slower so then can still view their Facebook feed. Industrialization brought an increase in sitting to the modern world. And modern technology has given us devices that we hold and view while hunched over. Yet these advancements are ironically devolving our species a bit; part of what makes us human is our ability to walk upright, and yet here we are creeping around where we once stood tall. “Stand up straight.” That’s timeless advice
we’ve probably all heard at one time or another. It’s worth heeding. Good posture is important to balance: by standing up straight, you center your weight over your feet. This also helps you maintain correct form while exercising, which results in fewer injuries and greater gains. And working on balance can even strengthen your abilities in tennis, golf, running, skiing — and just about any other sport or activity. Not an athlete? It still pays to have good balance. Just walking across the floor or down the block requires good balance. So do rising from a chair, going up and down stairs, toting packages, and even turning to look behind you. I’ve spent many hours researching the benefits and mechanics of good posture. Here are some of the interesting things I found out: Improves bodily alignment. When you stand and sit with your body properly aligned, all your organs can function as intended. This includes your stomach, which is why good posture may improve digestion. Eliminates back and neck pain. When you have proper posture, your bones and spine can easily and efficiently balance and support your body’s weight. When you have improper posture, muscles, tendons, and ligaments have to constantly work to support that same weight. This extra, inefficient
effort can lead to back and neck pain that can often lead to headaches. Focusing on improving your posture can go a long way to remedying these problems. Improves breathing. To work efficiently, your lungs need room to expand in your chest. When you’re slumped over, your rib cage collapses a bit, leaving less room for your lungs to open, which in turn cause inefficient breathing. Makes you look taller and slimmer. Some poor posture positions cause your belly to protrude. And slumping over makes you appear shorter than you are. Standing up straight will correct these issues and improve your appearance. Makes you feel confident and powerful. There’s a reason militaries have focused for more than a century on giving their soldiers posture training. They’ve seen that standing straight improves troops’ bearing and morale, and now modern researchers have started to prove this intuitive observation. Studies have emerged that illuminate the power of the mind/ body connection and particularly how physical posture and body language affects how we feel mentally and emotionally. What researchers are finding is not only does having good posture make you seem powerful to others, it makes you feel powerful yourself.
Improves mood. Not only can standing and sitting with good posture make you feel more confident and powerful, it can also boost your happiness. One study found that when people assumed slouched or slumped postures while asked to recall memories, they were more likely to remember sad and depressive episodes. Individuals in upright positions, on the other hand, were more likely to recall happy and positive memories. So, if you think you may be starting to see the onset of schlumpliness in your posture, don’t fret— standing up tall with your head high and shoulders back is free of charge and can do wonders for your body’s ability to function properly, your mood and your confidence. Poor posture isn’t necessarily a bad habit, either. The good news: You can improve your posture with a few simple exercises. Balance-specific workouts address posture and balance problems with exercises that build strength where it counts and stretches that loosen tight muscles. Quick posture checks in the mirror before and during balance exercises can also help you get the most from your regular workout. And increasing your core strength and flexibility can help you improve your posture noticeably in just a few weeks.

“The Punishment She Deserves” by Elizabeth George
The cozy, bucolic town of Ludlow is stunned when one of its most revered and respected citizens, the local deacon Ian Druitt, is accused of a serious crime. Then, while in police custody, Ian is found dead. Did he kill himself? Or was he murdered? When Barbara Havers is sent to Ludlow to investigate the chain of events that led to Ian’s death, all the evidence points to suicide. But Barbara can’t shake the feeling that she’s missing something. She soon discovers that almost everyone in town has something to hide. Both a page-turner and a deeply complex story about the lies we tell, the lies we believe, and the redemption we need, this novel will be remembered as one of George’s best. 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!

The Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency is looking to offer a hand to the man resurrecting the West Valley Inn. The IDA last week approved a State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) resolution and agreed to set a public hearing on an application from Douglas A.

Corey Wiktor, IDA executive director, estimated the benefits are worth up to $50,000. Sales tax exemptions on furniture, furnishings and equipment are worth between $20,000 and $25,000, about $10,000 for the mortgage recording fee exemption and between $10,000 and $15,000 for the adaptive use PILOT.
