For a real treat, ski and golf on the same day, as HV’s golf course is also set to open on April 8. March 30 and 31, and April 1 are all about Easter.

Easter weekend is here! It’s time to decorate those hard boiled eggs so they’re ready to enjoy on Easter morning. Although you may be short on time during this busy weekend, these fun ideas won’t take long, and you can enlist the help of every member of the family as you create some fun new memories this year! If the beloved tradition of decorating eggs is starting to feel a bit “hohum” after so many years, mix it up this year! There are so many more ways to decorate an egg than plunking it into a cup of dye. Skip the boxed egg dye altogether by tie-dying your Easter eggs. To get started, gather some paper towels, food coloring, a spray bottle, tiny elastics or twist ties, and plenty of cooled hard-boiled eggs. Tear the paper towels into small sections and place an egg in the middle of one section. Cover the entire egg with the paper towel, twist the end as tightly as possible and secure it with a twist tie or elastic. Squeeze some drops of food coloring directly onto the paper towel— experiment using all the colors or just a couple! Leave some white space between food color drops so that the dyes don’t mix. Next, fill the spray bottle with water and don some rubber gloves. Spray the covered egg until the dyes run and the paper towel is completely colored with dye. Try not

to over-spray, or there won’t be as much dye transferring to the egg! Set the eggs on a baking sheet or glass baking dish to dry overnight or in front of a fan for a few hours. When the paper towels are completely dry, unwrap each one and enjoy your groovy Easter eggs! Who doesn’t have a few packets of Kool-Aid mix in the cupboard? Put them to use by making these vibrant Easter eggs (don’t worry, they won’t taste like Kool-Aid)! Add one packet of Kool-Aid to 2/3 cup of water and stir. Drop a hardboiled egg in the cup and watch it quickly take on the color of the KoolAid. Leave it in the dye until the egg is as bright as you like. Although the egg will smell faintly fruity, once dried, the egg will smell and taste like normal hard boiled eggs. Keep in mind that some Kool-Aid flavors don’t make the best dye, as Lemonade is very light and Grape will turn

the egg dark gray. Experiment for different shades by mixing Kool-Aid packets together!

If you’re short on time and have a box of egg dye handy, make your own ombre-effect Easter eggs for an easy twist on a classic method! Fill clear plastic cups with about an inch of vinegar and dissolve a dye tablet in each one. Using tongs, set an egg in the dye and leave for 2 minutes. Add about ½ inch of water and let sit for another 2 minutes. Continue in this manner, adding ½ of water at a time until the egg is completely covered. After a final 2 minutes, remove the egg and enjoy your work! Make a last-minute treat for your Easter guests that will soon become an annually-anticipated delight! Rice Krispies eggs are easy to make and can be customized for each person’s favorite treat. Buy some oversized plastic Easter eggs and a bag or two of your favorite mini Easter candies. Next, wash and dry each plastic egg and coat the inside with a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 cups of mini marshmallows in a saucepan over low heat. Mix in 7 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until completely mixed. Fill the eggs with the cereal mixture, but leave space in the middle to fill with whatever candy you like! Make sure the egg is completely filled with the mixture and close the eggs. Leave them to cool/set and enjoy on Easter Sunday, if you can wait that long!

Uprooted to Appear at Summer Music Festival June 29

The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that another act has been added to the 2018 Summer Music Festival Lineup June 29 to July 1. Back by popular demand, Michael Glabicki of Rusted Root will be performing on June 29. It was 29 years ago that Michael Glabicki left college to start a band. He spent two years creating his vision and learning the craft of songwriting. That vision soon became Rusted Root, the multiplatinum band out of Pittsburgh, and Michael became

one of the world’s most unique voices. In many ways, he is starting this process again by creating an entirely new sound landscape. This process has led to Glabicki’s new solo project, Uprooted. This band is bringing back parts of Rusted Root of old, including more percussion and more female vocals, as well as bringing it into a new place with new material. He will carry on playing Rusted Root’s entire catalog of music on tour with re-inspired versions, as well as continuing to bring new and exciting music under the new name of Uprooted.

Members from the most recent touring band for Rusted Root (Dirk Miller- electric guitar, Zil Fessler- drums, Bobby Schneck Jr.-bass) as well as a new female singer, Daisie Ghost Flower, will be joining as the backing band on this new adventure. Also performing at this year’s Summer Music Festival will be Dennis DeYoung “THE MUSIC OF STYX” and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra with fireworks. Stay tuned for more!

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT The Ellicottville Quilt Shop, a One-Stop Quilting Destination

The Ellicottville Quilt Shop is the place to be for people who love quilting or would like to learn the craft. The shop has an endless selection of fabrics and notions. Photo by Deb Everts By Deb Everts

For over 15 years, The Ellicottville Quilt Shop has been a hub for area quilters where they have shopped for fabrics and notions or enrolled in classes to learn the craft. Shop owner Amy Ewel is passionate about quilting. In her shop, people will see over 1,000 bolts of fabric in dazzling colors and designs on display. The selection includes novelty fabrics, batiks, oriental fabrics, Civil War reproductions and many blenders. There are also books, patterns and notions. “I have classes for quilters of all levels. People must bring their own sewing machine and fabric to class, but I furnish the other tools they need to make a quilt,” she said. “It’s best to work on your own sewing machine because you are familiar with it.” For people who don’t enjoy the tedious task of cutting the fabric for their projects, she will do it for an hourly fee.

If a customer prefers to purchase a ready-made quilted item, Ewel has personally handcrafted an assortment of items ranging from table runners, placemats, wall hangings and purses to quilts of all sizes. Her quilted items can also be purchased on Etsy. Originally from Delevan, Ewel was a molecular biologist for almost 20 years before changing careers and opening a quilt shop in Ellicottville, where she now resides. While she was working in the science field, she was always working part-time on the side in quilt shops and thinking she’d like to have her own business one day. That opportunity came when she moved back to the area to be near family. Ewel founded her business in October 2002 with a mission to provide a warm and comfortable place for quilters to gather and share. She has accomplished that with the homey feel of her business space. On the last Saturday

of each month, she hosts a Saturday Morning Breakfast Club where people come to discuss anything having to do with quilting while she serves her guests coffee or tea and breakfast treats. To keep her customers updated on the latest quilting trends, techniques and fabrics, Ewel sends out The Ellicottville Quilt Shop Newsletter quarterly. “Once a year, in July, I have a quilt show at the St. John’s Episcopal Church on Washington Street. It’s a really nice show and it’s pretty with all the quilts displayed on the pews,” she said. “To thank them for hosting the show, I always raffle a quilt to benefit them.” Being civic-minded, Ewel said she raffled a quilt last October to observe the 15-year anniversary of her business. The proceeds went to the Rotary Club’s Children’s Christmas Party. Ewel also collects canned or boxed food for the Ellicottville Food Pantry. She offers her customers discounts on their purchases according to how many food items they donate. The Ellicottville Quilt Shop is located at 19 Jefferson St. Business hours are Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.; and Monday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shop is closed Tuesday and Wednesday or open by appointment. For a complete schedule of classes and additional information about the quilt shop, visit online at ellicottvillequiltshop. com. To find out more, contact Ewel at 699-2065, ellicottvillequiltshop@ gmail.com or Facebook.

Slopeside Ski Shop Offers Unique HoliMont Merchandise

Members and guests of HoliMont Ski Resort have the convenience of a ski shop on the premises that provides for most of their apparel needs. Shown is shop manager Greg Culver assisting a customer from Toronto, Canada. Photo by Deb Everts By Deb Everts

Skiers and bikers of all disciplines will find just the right apparel and accessories in Slopeside Ski Shop at HoliMont located in the main chalet. Manager Greg Culver said the shop carries mostly winter merchandise, but it also has some items that cross over the seasons. He said he has personally been pushing a bike contingency at HoliMont because a lot of the members and other people that come to the resort are bike enthusiasts. According to Culver, the shop’s most popular merchandise is a customized line of apparel featuring the HoliMont logo. Shoppers also have a large selection of merchandise to choose from that ranges from low-end to high-end quality. The selection includes hats, gloves, goggles, helmets, visors, hoodies, T-shirts, turtlenecks and items for kids. New to the shop this year is a brand called Arc’teryx, which is very high-end outerwear, mid-wear apparel made by a Canadian outdoor clothing and sporting goods company founded in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Culver said the brand will be unique to HoliMont’s ski shop and

people will not be able to find it elsewhere. He said it’s a premium product that fetches a premium price, and it’ll have a HoliMont logo badge on it next year. “I do all the buying and I spend a lot of time shopping for this merchandise. I want it to be different,” he said. “We’ve partnered with Richardson Sports this year for baseball caps. They are great quality, affordable and come in a wide array of colors; everybody loves them. We’ll will also carry visors that are quite popular and knit hats from Richardson.” Culver said Slopeside Snowsports, LLC is the official name for the shop that is a subsidiary of HoliMont and is run as a separate company. “Gear Up” is a logo under Slopeside and it’s been branded for the rental shop. “I don’t know when the shop first opened, but I think I’m the fourth person to run the retail end of the operations,” he said. “At one time, the shop was farmed out and someone leased the space and ran it. After a while, Dave Riley, our general manager, decided it was something he wanted to make a HoliMont entity so, in 2012, HoliMont took it over.” Culver wears many hats at HoliMont. In addition to

being the store manager, he’s also the director of marketing and rental manager, as well as the graphic designer for the resort’s advertisements, brochures, posters website, trail maps and custom apparel sporting the HoliMont logo. Currently a resident of Springville, Culver said he formerly owned a ski shop, Sliders Ski and Snowboard in Colden, for 13 years that serviced Kissing Bridge Ski Area. He said that’s how he cut his teeth on retail. According to Culver, when he closed his shop down, he taught snowboarding at Holiday Valley for a year. Then, a friend told him HoliMont was looking for someone to run their retail and rental shop, which he thought would be perfect for him. He got the job and the year after that, the marketing position opened and he got that job as well. His degree in marketing and visual communications from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh has been well applied to what he’s doing now at HoliMont. For those looking to scoop up some great deals for next year, now is the time to take advantage of end-of-season pricing. From now until HoliMont’s closing day (tentatively April 8), assorted gloves, hats and helmets are 40 percent off. Slopeside Ski Shop is open to the public and is located inside HoliMont’s main chalet at 6921 Route 242, in Ellicottville. Business hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, contact the ski shop at (716) 699-4698 or skishop@holimont.com.

Buffalo’s head coach Felisha Legette-Jack (center) celebrates with her team after defeating Florida State in the second-round game of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament, Monday, March 19, in Tallahassee, Fla. By Sam Wilson

When Marissa Hamilton decided on a college to continue her basketball career out of Ellicottville Central School, the University at Buffalo seemed like a natural fit. A mid-major Division I school just an hour’s drive from home, fresh off its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2016, Buffalo appealed to Hamilton. But the Bulls have surpassed her expectations, on multiple levels, in the Great Valley native’s freshman season, reaching the NCAA women’s basketball Sweet 16 with a pair of victories in Tallahassee, Fla. over No. 6 South Florida, 10279, and No. 3 Florida State, 86-65. “I definitely think the whole thing is a surprise,” Hamilton said Wednesday of her freshman year. “When I signed to come to Buffalo, I was ecstatic obviously because I was going D-I and I dreamed of that my entire life. That was one of my biggest dreams and when I finally made it there, I was like 'Oh my gosh, this is great.' Then when we started going through the season and I realized how great we really were and how much I really loved this team and my coaching staff and how much we all support each other, it made it seem like I was in a family and I loved it even more. “Then I realized, like, 'Wow, we're actually really good. We're competing with some big schools, I'm on TV, this is just crazy.' Then we started winning and we're in the Sweet 16 now and it's just crazy. I was lost for words in the locker room after the game. I was just so excited and happy that I'm able to be a part of this. I would never have thought that I was going to be in the Sweet 16. It’s just crazy to me.” The No. 11 Bulls (29-6) finished their season with a 79-63 loss to No. 2 South Carolina on Saturday in Albany. Before the season ended, Hamilton called the last two weeks “a rollercoaster of emotions,” referring

to the Bulls losing in the Mid-American Conference championship, 96-91, to waiting to see if they got an at-large NCAA bid. The NCAA even announced UB as one of eight teams in consideration for the last four at-large stops the night before the Monday selection show. Of course, UB got in as an 11 seed and the rest (so far) is history, with both UB and Central Michigan showing the MAC’s strength in their runs to the Sweet 16. “We always talk about our foxhole,” Hamilton said. “Our foxhole is small and we knew that from the beginning. We knew we had a lot of odds against us, but we also knew that at the beginning of the season if we worked hard and we did what we had to do, we knew that we could have the opportunity to be there. So when we were all sitting there watching the TV (NCAA selection show), of course we're scared because it's never definite, it's never final that we're going to make the tournament, so clearly we were still on the edge of our seats, but we also knew in the back of our heads that we had worked so hard and our record showed that we were good enough to be in this tournament, so we were happy and excited that we made it. But we were a little bit surprised because everything has been against us until now and people are still against us, but we're just in our own foxhole and we're happy to be here and have the opportunity to play.” The freshman forward has appeared in 17 of the team’s 34 games, averaging six minutes and three points and shooting 31 percent on three-pointers (13-for-42). Adjusting physically and mentally from a small high school to D-I, Hamilton credits the whole team with helping her in a personal transition year. “It’s hard to say,” hamilton said of who she looks up to, “because when I say I love my team, I actually do. Everybody plays a significant role in me excelling here.”

But Hamilton added she looks up to star junior Cierra Dillard for her passing ability, senior Stephanie Ried for her leadership and juniors Brittany Morrison and Ayoleka Sodade, who she called her best friends on the team. “They're just there for me all the time,” Hamilton said. “Definitely a lot of people play a role in me getting through this process because it's definitely one of the hardest things I've ever gone through, but I'm just happy that I have my team and I have everybody here to help me out. Also, Coach (Felisha Legette-) Jack is super good with that too, like she's not the type of coach to just allow somebody to sulk or not do well. If I miss a shot or whatever, she would not allow me to get down on myself. She's just really good with communicating with her players and that's why I'm so happy that I chose to be a player under her wing.” Hamilton said she’s focused on cutting weight to improve her conditioning throughout the season. But she’s also worked to improve her mental strength. “I've lost a ton of weight being here and it was all through basketball, through our strength and conditioning and now looking back it's crazy to look at pictures of myself because I would have never thought that I would be able to do this,” she said. “My body has just changed a lot and also my mental strength. A lot of D-I schools haven't been talking about it, but mental health is a huge thing and here, I've realized that I have to be able to be stronger and be able to talk to myself and be able to realize my worth and with me not playing, you have to put yourself in a good place mentally and that's a big thing that I've also been dealing with and with the help of my coaches and my team, it's made it an easy process.”

ECS Juniors Go Hunting By Louisa Benatovich, ECS Student Reporter

They moved as a pack, like a pride of lions stalking through the savannah. They weaved through the clumps of people like they were the tall, dry grass of the Serengeti. Then, they saw it. Their prey, like a massive herd of thundering wildebeests, appeared before them. It was scary, loud, and slightly dusty. It was like nothing they had ever seen before. It was the 2018 Buffalo National College Fair. The juniors split up, hoping to take down one beast at a time. Unlike lions, they didn’t attack the old and weak. Instead, they searched for the juiciest acceptance rates, financial aid, and offered majors. If you were really looking, you’d see a junior emerge from the hunt, smile on face, boasting pamphlets and free pens. If you weren’t looking, you might miss out on the perfect college for you; the wildebeest that got away. Though I compare ironically, entering the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center was a shock to the senses. There were people everywhere and the noise took the entire junior class aback. I can imagine how Mufasa felt in “The Lion King”; our future was charging straight at us and there was nothing we could do to stop it. Luckily, we had over

200 futures to choose from. Universities from as close as Olean and as far away as Australia attended the event. They ranged from small, rural liberal arts schools to enormous urban technical institutes. There was almost everything a college hopeful could dream of. Brennan Finn, who is hoping to be a physical therapist, was a bit disappointed. “It was a wonderful opportunity to see what was really out there,” he said, “but not a single college offered my major.” Others were luckier in their hunt. “It was a very helpful experience,” said Robin Freaney. “I discovered many colleges that I would never have even thought of.” Many other high schools were drawn to the watering hole, as well. Of the many that attended, Ellicottville spied Frontier High School, St. Francis, and Canisius High School. Another classmate, Abby Seibert, was particularly affected by this. “I didn’t have much to say about the college fair,” Seibert said, “but being with much larger schools just shows that there’s much more than the tiny school that we go to. The world has so much more to offer.” In my case, I realized truly how many people we all compete with to get into college. It was very daunting. I wanted to leave my fabricated African

plains and become a burrowing animal, perhaps a mole or a rabbit. I wanted to click my heels together and close my eyes while whispering, “Take me back to kindergarten when gluing was the most exciting part of my day.” Junior year is undoubtedly the most stressful year of high school. Full of SATs, ACTs, choosing colleges, and figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life, it can take its toll on the hardiest of students. The college fair was a slap in the face for some, and an encouraging tap on the rear for others. It’s time to get in gear, it said, college is just around the corner and your futures are knocking at the door. After the fair, the ECS junior class enjoyed a relaxing lunch at the McKinley Mall. It was nice to approach a booth from which lovely food smells escaped rather than uncertainty and stress. We all wished it was as easy to choose a future as it was to choose Arby’s over Subway. Be on the lookout for ECS juniors in the Ellicottville community. You might consider sponsoring one. We are the Junior junior sapiens of 2019 and we are classified as an endangered species on the verge of an extinction caused by too much stress. Donate stress management tips now!

Ladies of Ellicottville Ski Club Present $9,200 Check to Nannen Arboretum

On Feb. 16, the ladies of the Ellicottville Ski Club at Holiday Valley held their 13th annual “ESC Ladies’ Day.” As a result of the day of skiing, and the dinner complete with raffles and live auction that followed, the women raised $9,200 to benefit this year’s recipient, the Nannen Arboretum. What began 13 years ago as an informal ski day, followed by a dinner prepared by the men of the club, has grown to be an annual fundraising event. To date, the women have now raised over $71,000 for various area charities. Past recipients include Family Support for Ellicottville, the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program at Holiday Valley, the Ellicottville Memorial Library, Mercy Flight of Western New York, Susan G. Komen for the Cure of WNY, Almost Home Animal Sanctuary, Alzheimer’s Association of WNY, The March of Dimes of WNY, the Ellicottville Community Food Pantry, and last year’s recipient, Cattaraugus Community Action. In addition to donations from ESC members, nearly every local business contributed to this year’s silent and live auction as well as a ticket raffle. Laura DeCinque,

co-chair of the annual ESC Ladies’ Day event, commented, “Our event is so successful thanks to the area businesses as well as the ESC members and their generous contributions over the past thirteen years.“ The Nannen Arboretum is an 8-acre sanctuary for hundreds of trees, shrubs, perennial flowers and herbs. Guests are invited to experience the nature walks, bridges, and gardens such as the Japanese meditation garden, and the herb and perennial gardens. The Arboretum is located at 28 Parkside Drive in Ellicottville, is free to the public and open every day from dawn to dusk. The $9,200 donation from the Ellicottville Ski Club Ladies’ Day directly enables the Arboretum to jumpstart their 2018 goal to ensure that the walkways and paths at the Arboretum become ADA accessible. Estimates for the project are over $20,000. Other initiatives the Arboretum

has determined for 2018 are a “clean up” day to restore damage done to the trees during a March storm, a redesign of the herb garden, enhancing the Arboretum image through social media, and the recruitment of volunteers. Pat Kerl, a member of the Nannen Arboretum Society, stated, “We are overwhelmed and so grateful to all the local businesses and the members of the Ellicottville Ski Club that helped support the ladies in their annual fundraiser. And we are thrilled to be the recipient this year!” Anyone interested in making a donation, obtaining information about special events, or volunteering at the Nannen Arboretum may contact either Pat Kerl or Nan Miller at info@ nannenarboretum.org.

Trout Season Continued from front page

addition, select streams are also supplemented with 2-year old brown trout that average 12-15 inches long. The most popular and heavily stocked streams in the region include the Genesee River and Cattaraugus, Ischua, East Koy and Goose creeks. For some anglers, there is nothing finer than catching a brilliantly colored wild trout. Anglers have excellent opportunity to catch wild brown, brook and rainbow trout in western New York, especially in Cattaraugus and Wyoming Counties. Wild trout tend to be more finicky than stocked trout, and they can be a challenge to catch. Streams designated as wild trout streams are not stocked. Since these streams are supported wholly by natural reproduction, anglers are urged to practice catch and release. Several Lakes and ponds in the region are stocked

with trout each spring. The most substantial yearling trout stockings occur in Allegany County and Cattaraugus County in Allen, Rushford, Case, Harwood, New Albion, Quaker and Red House Lakes. Most of these lakes also receive 2-year old brown trout in spring and are usually supplemented with surplus broodstock trout in the fall. Trout fishing is best on these ponds and lakes in the spring. These waters also support warm-water fish communities that include bass, yellow perch and sunfish which provide good fishing in the summertime. Visit www.dec.ny.gov for a list of stocked bodies of water and regulations by county. If you’re looking for an excuse to get out there, the Chamber of Commerce in Arcade is offering adventure to early season anglers with their annual Tri-County Trout Derby set

for the Upper Cattaraugus Creek, April 14 and 15. All New York State fishing regulations must be followed. Register online at the Arcade Chamber’s website. There is also a printable application available online or at the Chamber’s office. The Tri-County Trout Derby is Saturday, April 14 and Sunday, April 15 Fishing will be from 6:30 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday and 6:30 a.m.-5 p.m. on Sunday. There will be a Derby Headquarters located at the Arcade Fire Department (145 North St. Arcade, NY). It opens at 5 a.m. both days of Derby and offers Derby info, registration packets not picked up early, one of two official check points, prize money for fish, food and drinks, bait, 50/50 tickets, Community Fish tickets, apparel, raffles, and more, For more information, visit www.ArcadeChamber. org.

Obituary

Small Changes for Big Results Nancy J. Morlok 1935-2018

By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer

Make small changes to your diet like swapping a cheese stick or a handful of nuts for the chips and soda. Take mini walking breaks when you feel fatigue setting in instead of looking for a caffeine/ energy drink fix. These are small changes that will give you big results. To exemplify this, I am going to share the journeys of two of my clients. Both started with dietary fixes. One needed to EAT. This client thought if she did not eat, she would lose weight. This only slowed down her metabolism to a snail’s pace and left her with little to no energy, plus anything she did eat caused her to gain weight. The other client needed to EAT SMARTER. This client quickly learned to read labels in order to make better food choices. She learned fat-free is not always a good choice due to the high amounts of sugar and that sodium can also be

a culprit when trying to lose weight. Then we attacked their fitness side of things. Both were walking and making good progress. Both were gaining cardio vascular strength. However, they were eager to see more results. So, I had them weight train. Not once a week, but 3 times a week for 30 minutes. Five months have passed and the results keep coming. My client, who barely ate, now eats about 4-5 times a daym making mindful choices. She walks a lot and weight trains at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes. She has lost over 14 inches. Her BMI has gone from 33 to 27, (at 25, her body weight will be ideal). My second client continues to make great eating choices and exercising 3-5 times a week at 30 minutes. This client has lost 30 lbs. and 11 inches. Neither of theses clients plans on stopping the routines that they have developed— both are addicted to their new lifestyle and better health. Both started with small Changes and had big results! It’s your turn to be that client— swap out one thing that you know is an unhealthy choice or behavior. Contact me at kduke65@gmail.com if you have questions or concerns about the choices you are making. I would be more than happy to help!

“The Disappeared” by C.J. Box

Wyoming’s new governor isn’t sure what to make of Joe Pickett, but he has a job for him that is extremely delicate. A prominent female British executive never came home from the high-end guest ranch she was visiting. Pickett knows these ranches are stocked with handsome young cowboys, and “ranch romances” aren’t uncommon. But no sign of her months after she vanished? That suggests something else. At the same time, his friend Nate Romanowski has asked Joe to intervene with the feds on behalf of falconers who can no longer hunt with eagles even though their permits are in order. Who is blocking the falconers and why? The more he investigates both cases, the more someone wants him to go away. Is it because of the missing woman or because he’s become Nate’s advocate? Or are they somehow connected? The answers, when they come, will be even worse than he’d imagined. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,300 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

New Rotary Club members are always welcome – come to a meeting and see what it’s all about. Meetings are held every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. at the Ellicottville American Legion on Maples Road.

Bartoszek & Staff Set to Coach NY in Big 30 Game

The coaching staff on the New York sideline for the 45th Big 30 All-Star Charities Classic will look familiar to followers of the Franklinville/Ellicottville and Salamanca football teams. Head coach Chad Bartoszek leads the staff, joined by three of his Franklinville/Ellicottville assistants — Jason Marsh, Mark Blecha and Harley Butler — and former Salamanca assistant Aaron Hill. On Saturday, Aug. 4, at Bradford High’s Parkway Field, Bartoszek’s New York squad faces a Pennsylvania crew coached by Todd Silfies, who spent his six

seasons as Kane’s head coach before stepping down at the end of last season. In his fifth year as a physical education teacher at Ellicottville High School and coach of the Franklinville/Ellicottville Titans, Bartoszek has won two Big 30 Coach of the Year awards (sharing one of them with Silfies in 2015) and 2015 Western New York small school coach of the year. The former Salamanca High School and University at Buffalo star tight end previously spent six years as an assistant coach and also won two Buffalo Bills Coach of the Week honors. He resides in Salamanca with his wife, Denise, and

two sons, Brandon (age six) and Tyler (four). Marsh spent nine years as a varsity head coach at Salamanca and seven as an assistant, joining F/E’s staff in 2016. He’s also a former Big 30 game head coach and won Big 30 Coach of the Year in 2011. A physical therapist for the Salamanca City School District for 17 years, Marsh lives in Salamanca with his wife Nicole and children Lucas (13) and Courtney (11). Blecha has 28 years of football coaching experience after 14 years as Franklinville’s head coach and 14 as an assistant, including his current role with the Titans. He spent 10 years coaching and teaching in Olean and now 18 years as athletic director/ physical education teacher, along with baseball coach, at Franklinville. Blecha and his wife Stacey reside in Machias with their three children, Bryce (21), Brock (18) and Bretton (11). Butler has five years coaching experience as an assistant and JV coach, along with modified baseball. He is the

director of new business development at Cattaraugus Container. Butler and his wife, Hope, live in Franklinville with son Harley Butler III (19). Hill started coaching in 2007 for Marsh’s Salamanca staff, then spent a year as an offensive line coach in Las Vegas for the Desert Oasis Diamondbacks in 2008 to return to Salamanca as a swing coach (assistant JV and varsity) from 20092013. He played in the Big 30 game in 2003 and coached with Marsh in the game in 2011. He’s worked for USA Football for the last three years as regional manager for football operations, working to build relationships between commissioners, coaches, officials and players and boosting awareness for programs including HeadsUp Football. Hill resides in Little Valley with his wife, Becky, and children Brennan (7) and Bria (3). Silfies will be joined by assistants Royce NovoselJohnson, Jim Sirianni, Tyler Smith and Christopher W. Barber, all of Kane.

‘Pond Skimmers’ Make a Big Splash at HV

ECS Board Continued from front page

Miller told the parents he called police and activated the “Shelter in Place” protocol at 8:30 a.m. and then sent out a “robocall” to notify parents that a threat was being investigated. He said “Shelter in Place” is the “least intrusive” of the “big four” procedures, used when there is a need to clear hallways and keep the students in their rooms. It is also used as a transition or staging tool while administrators and responders assess the situation. Miller said he couldn’t share everything that went into the morning’s decisions and protocols once the threat awareness was triggered. Police were on the scene within two minutes and more arrived within eight minutes. Soon, he said, there were 16 officers on the scene from various agencies, including Ellicottville Village Police, Cattaraugus County Emergency Services, Cattaraugus County Sheriff and the New York State Police. They worked with school staff to study the “map with comments and some arrows and lines.” They slowly pieced together clues, where the map came from and where it was found, the location of students and key information from their records. “We weren’t coming up with somebody right away so we decided on a lockout. What if the kid is absent, if the kid that had the map was outside?” said Miller. Officials maintained the “Shelter in Place” protocol and added the “Lockout” protocol, a “low-intensity” procedure to lock all exterior doors and windows in response to an actual or potential threat outside the school. Classroom activities continued as Miller and his team worked with 16 law enforcement officers to interview students and identify the creator of the map. Using police escorts, staff and volunteers served a simple lunch of pizza and fruit to each classroom, and students were taken in groups for restroom visits. “Once it was determined who was the creator of the map and we had them secured, that’s when we came out” of the combined protocols at about 12:30 p.m. and the school day resumed, Miller said, noting the procedures were not perfect but they worked, and police agencies were able to communicate consistently using the protocol terms. There was no need for the more serious procedures of “Evacuation” and the

highest alert, “Lockdown,” where a threat is imminent, and students and staff are hidden and silent. Miller said even as Friday’s events are still being reviewed by the District’s Safety Committee, protocols are being refined and students are being surveyed, he and his staff have learned a lot about the need to improve communications with parents and when it is safe to do so. He said the effort to find the owner of the map prevented early calls to the media and after the “Lockout” ended, some media representatives didn’t request more information. “I think I could have shared more information in my first robocall” to say students were beginning a “Shelter in Place” with normal activities inside classrooms, then a second robocall informing parents he had activated “Lockout.” “I apologize for that. Sincerely,” Miller said. He recalled the District’s participation in past trainings and drills, and safety instructions by law enforcement personnel during the March 16 staff development day. He pointed to stepped-up Safety Committee meetings planned through the end of summer to maintain threat preparedness. Also, he said, the state will not count Friday as one of two required lockdown drills that must be staged before the end of the school year, to be announced in a robocall a few days in advance. Meanwhile, students from second grade through 12th grade have already been surveyed about the District’s response. A Monday morning assembly program and Powerpoint, led by Middle School/ High School Principal Erich Ploetz, centered on a climbing theme to challenge the students from grades 6 through 12, to restore healthy communication and relationships with teachers. Ploetz said he did not lie to the students or try to guarantee anything, but reminded them they wouldn’t be in the building if the campus was not safe. He also assured them bullying and a hit list were not involved in the threat, and that the source of the map had been found and steps are being taken to resolve the concern. He reviewed the “little things” to stay safe: no cell phones, no ear buds in classes or hallways, maintain silence during drills, trust adult instructions. “The important takeaways are, at ECS, you are safe, you are known, you are not invisible and you are

loved,” he told the students, pointing out that Ellicottville was the safest place in the county with the number of law enforcement personnel present on Friday. Ploetz said the student survey identified a small number of students who admitted they have no trusted adult at school and efforts are underway to match them with teachers or other school staff. Ploetz displayed a poster made by some of the students who heard his message. Some parents wanted to know if there is a possibility for school resource officers (SRO) or armed personnel and Miller reminded them the SRO salary would add 1 percent to the tax levy. Early SROs were provided through New York State Police grants, he recalled, and many grant funds are out of reach because the number of free and reduced lunch recipients don’t equal 50 percent of the student body. Therefore, Ellicottville is not eligible for some grants. One attendee commented that there are officers eager to volunteer to guard the school and Miller urged parents to contact their state lawmakers about proposed legislation that could help provide funds for SROs. Administrators said they are treating laws protecting families and privacy very seriously, refusing to give the parents details about the identity of the child who drew the map, what criminal charges may be filed and reporting practices when a student may be having problems or is being bullied. They assured them that the parents will be told of problems, while teachers and substitutes will continue to receive training in recognizing children at risk and emergency response protocols. County Emergency Services Director Chris Baker offered to conduct a drill for parents to see how a threat scenario and a response might unfold. “We as school administrators have more latitude and power than law enforcement,” Miller said. “We only need reasonable suspicion to search someone, police have to have probable cause.” In response to one mother’s request, he said he would look into taking possession of students’ cell phones, and the parents applauded when Miller said he sees no reason for an elementary school student to film videos with a phone device. “Kids today are addicted to these even if they are the victim… There are more problems in these things that you want to know.” Some parents suggested

emergency notices could be posted publicly on social media, or sent to cell phones or the Amber Alert system. Miller said the matter is still being studied, and more work needs to be done on communication and news releases, but he reported the Facebook messages he saw after the event showed misinformation traveled faster than it could have been processed at the school. “We’re going to have to think and use common sense,” Miller said. After the parent information session, the Board of Education held its monthly meeting in the Library, approving a $12,753,502 budget proposition for 2018-2019, a proposition for a $36,000 lease for two 66-passenger International School Buses for each of the next five years, and a proposition for a $31,164 levy supporting the Ellicottville Memorial Library. A public hearing is set for 7 p.m. May 8 in the High School Cafeteria. The propositions and two Board vacancies will be decided by District residents in a May 15 vote. A mother and father of an ECS student then questioned Board members about the identity of a staffer and a timeframe of an investigation into an alleged incident involving aggression toward their child. Connie Poulin, Director of Special Education, told the couple that the employee has been placed on administrative leave. Board President Connie Hellwig said personnel matters cannot be discussed in open session. The couple urged the Board members to address the safety concerns promptly and keep them informed. Miller assured them he has worked on the matter in the aftermath of last Friday’s threat emergency and will continue to pursue it. Also approved were: - a cooperative purchasing agreement under BOCES; - a $70,000 appropriation from the Repair Reserve Fund for cafeteria and buildings and grounds equipment. There had been no public comments during a brief public hearing preceding the vote. - a four-year contract from 2017 through 2021 with Buffamante, Whipple and Buttafaro, PC, for a four-year external auditing services for the following amounts in each consecutive year: $15,500, $15,900, $16,300, and $16,700. - acceptance of a donation of two scoreboards from the Ellicottville Sports Boosters for the softball field and the baseball field.

Stillhouse Seeking Temporary Parking Lot Solution The Stillhouse Brewery, restaurant and distillery will receive a temporary certificate of occupancy through June 30 and with conditions, allowing the new facility to open as early as April despite parking lot paving delays due to bad weather. Conditions of a 2016 special use permit and site plan approval for the 5,000 square foot brewery and restaurant, located near the intersection of Routes 219 and 242 east of Tim Horton’s, required the developer to pave the parking lot, but weather has prevented the work. In the meantime, the developer requested whether the Board would accept paving with Roller-Compacted Concrete (RCC) because of its durability. Recently, reported Town Planner Gary Palumbo and Engineer Mark Alianello, Stillhouse developers requested the possibility to use tar and chip for a temporary surface due to the fluctuating temperatures. The town’s ordinance allows a temporary certificate of occupancy

By Caitlin Croft

if construction is slowed by bad weather or if other extenuating circumstances prevent timely completion. A bond for the cost of surfacing is required, as well as approval of alternatives by the code enforcement officer and recommendations from the town’s engineer. Before approving the temporary certificate, Board members cautioned the action should contain some conditions, including an acceptable bond, and marked parking space. These also include that the tar and chip option, if used, must be replaced by a better surface and that parking areas should be marked or delineated clearly, with a vacant lot nearby excluded from temporary parking until a separate site plan review can be conducted. They also expressed an unwillingness to set a precedent and were assured the ordinance provision assures no precedent is being set. Board member Doc Dayton expressed strong objection for placing on the agenda any lastminute requests of the Planning Board, but all agreed the ordinance

allows for special consideration in this case. In another matter, the Board agreed to send sign amendments back to the Town Board for a final draft and a public hearing, possibly as early as May. If the amendments are later approved by the Town Board, the area of lighted signs may be increased to 66 percent of the board, or 32 square feet, whichever is less; a reduction from one minute to a five second minimum time for a static message to change. Palumbo said he will work on requests to research candlepower controls of the lighted signs and the ability to aim and dim lighting. The Board recognized the work of outgoing Engineer Mark Alianello for his many years of service and welcomed Niles Pierson, who will fill the vacancy and advise the Board on engineering matters. Finally, Palumbo noted the updated comprehensive plan has been drafted, with goals and objectives to incorporate findings of the Ellicottville Community Smart Growth Survey. Palumbo

said he made some adjustments and the document will be sent for a final review by the engineer and code enforcer before the Town Board is asked to make a decision on the new version. On the topic of the Community Smart Growth Survey, he reminded the Board there will be a third and final public meeting on growth and development at the Town Center on Parkside Drive at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 14. Results of March 22 and March 24 community input focused on roads, business and economic development opportunities. The lack of affordable employee housing, and housing demand outside the community were other points raised. The results will be used to submit a Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant application for physical redevelopment in and around Ellicottville. A summary presentation of the findings and final recommendations will be provided to the public at that meeting.

Ice Hockey to win an unprecedented third consecutive gold medal at the games. A week after winning his gold medal in PyeongChang, Page made a visit Sunday to Holiday Valley and the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program in Ellicottville. “I just turned 26 on March 10. It’s pretty cool to celebrate your birthday while competing in the paralympics, and it seems to fall that week every time I go,” he said. “Winning three gold medals in a row at the paralympics, and being able to win world championships in 2015, in my hometown, was certainly something I will never forget.” A resident of Lancaster, Page was born with spina bifida. He said he has overcome 10 to 12 surgeries growing up as a kid but, with the help of his parents, he always focused on being a regular kid. “It helped me to never see my disability because I was doing sports and other activities kids my age would do at that time,” he said. “At age six, I was fortunate enough to find sled hockey here in Buffalo while at a doctor’s appointment. I saw a flyer on the wall for it, so I went out and tried it. I fell in love with it right away.” According to Page, the sport is called sled hockey in the United States, but it’s called Para ice hockey in the Paralympics. Page said he has a personal trainer he works with four to five times a week for hockey, and he has been a student of the Lounsbury Ski Adaptive program at Holiday Valley for 13 years. Richelle Dube, of Buffalo, is in her 18th season as a volunteer for the Lounsbury program. She said she has been working with Page as his handler since he was about 12 or 13 years old, and Lounsbury is where he first learned to

mono-ski. “I have watched Adam grow and develop into an amazing young man over the years. He works hard at everything he tries and understands the importance of listening and applying instruction to improve his ability as a skier and sled hockey player,” she said. “Adam has a level of discipline that has grown as he has grown, and he understands that in order to compete and perform at such an elite level, he must also be disciplined in his work-outs and training.” Dube said it’s been a wonderful to watch Page’s confidence develop over the years. She said he is now an adult who has grown up and matured in ways that would make any parent proud. “Adam is an amazing role model and I believe he wants other children with the same disability, as well as other disabilities, to know that they too can succeed,” she said. “I imagine this is where he gets his competitive drive — deep from within himself.” According to Dube, his parents are also a driving force. They have been there supporting Page from getting him involved in sled hockey to encouraging him to explore other adaptive sports. “Adam’s parents didn’t allow his disability to define who he is, and I don’t dismiss that he has had challenges, but it has been these challenges that made Adam who he is today and where he gets his competitiveness from,” she said. Page said he has been a member of the Buffalo Sabres Sled Hockey Club Team since 1999 when he was six years old, and he still plays with them today when he’s not with the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team. His determination and

Page 11

competitive spirit may be part of his success, but he credits his parents for putting him in anything he wanted to do and never saying no. “I believe growing up around that has helped me to be able to overcome any obstacles in my life — to never give up or say no and to make my dreams come true,” he said. According to Page, the Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program and Dube have given him the opportunity to also pursue skiing — possibly at the Paralympics — and has given him an outlet for hockey. “It’s something I can be a part of and feel free out there,” he said. “Richelle and everyone at Lounsbury have been so supportive of me. They have helped me to get to where I am in skiing and to reach my goals that I have in the sport.” Page said skiing has been his outlet to get away from hockey at times, but he definitely wants to pursue more in mono-skiing and start racing. “Right now, I’m just taking it all in and enjoying this gold medal, but it would be pretty cool to say I was able to medal in two different winter sports.” Page graduated in 2015 from Medaille College, where he majored in sports management. He said his ultimate career goal is to work for an NHL team, whether in coaching or the front office. When he’s not on the ice, he likes to go to summer concerts, play wheelchair lacrosse and downhill ski in winter. He helped start the Sled Hockey Foundation, where he helps give kids the opportunity to play sled hockey.

Now is also a good time to divide perennials before the plants have begun their spring growth and become a lot more difficult to move. Have you ever wondered why certain plants just never seem to do well in your yard, even though they’re receiving the proper amount of sunlight and water? Consider the pH level of your soil—this may have a bigger effect than you think! Soil test kits are available at garden centers and home improvement stores. Now is the time to pick one up and test the aacidity of the soil in your yard before you buy your plants or seeds. Some plants, such as azalea, heather and

hydrangea prefer acidic soil, while others are productive in more basic soil. Save yourself some time and money by testing your soil before you start planting! There is more to a healthy garden than plants! Make your yard a homey place for the birds by putting in a new birdbath and filling your bird feeders regularly. Did you know that a single chickadee can consume up to 1,000 plant-eating insects in a day? Attracting birds to your yard is an easy way to keep the pests off your plants! In addition to a birdbath and feeders, plant some seed and fruit-bearing plants like sunflower, Echinacea, honeysuckle and aster. The birds will thank you, and you will thank them!
