6:30 Saturday. Mardi Gras Parade. Be There. Complete schedule on page 11 By Jann Wiswall
© 2013 KEYSTONE DESIGNERS
The big event this weekend in the Village of Ellicottville is the annual Mardi Gras Parade, sponsored by the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. Few towns outside of New Orleans put on such a fun and wacky parade to celebrate the Easter season. Spectators wearing masks and tons of beads line the streets of the village to watch this annual parade, which is complete with funny, creative and themed floats, costumed groups and solo parade participants. This year, a special float has been created that is dedicated to the memory of long-time Mardi Gras parade “King” Ken Brown, who in his inimitable way represented the spirit and warmth of Ellicottville for so many years. The parade begins at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 9. Be sure to get there early to claim the best view, and then stick around to see who wins the Best Mardi Gras Theme, Most Creative Entry or the Funniest or Best Overall Float awards. Afterwards, make plans to enjoy a meal or a drink at some of Ellicottville’s popular meeting places, where you’ll find a great selection of live music and Mardi Gras specials.

Kings and Queens of the Mardi Gras Parade
It’s a Grand History
By Mary Fox
This Saturday, March 9, the 21st Mardi Gras Parade will take place in the village at 6:30 p.m. The highlight of this year’s parade will be a float in honor of Ken Brown’s years as King of Winter Carnival.
The tradition of crowning a King and Queen of Winter Carnival began at Holiday Valley many years ago and was moved to the village in 1993, when the first Mardi Gras parade was held in the village. “The float will be decorated

Special Town Board Meeting
Nannen Arboretum Society By Jann Wiswall
The Town of Ellicottville’s January acquisition of the Cooperative Extension Service Building and the adjacent Nannen Arboretum prompted Town Supervisor John Burrell to call a special board meeting on Wednesday, March 6, 2013. Members of the Nannen Arboretum Committee, Cooperative Extension Service staff, the village boards, the town engineer and the town attorney also met with the board in the Extension Service Building to clarify policies and procedures, property
maintenance, renovations and other topics. Burrell specifically addressed a number of issues that had been posed by the Arboretum Committee at the February 20 meeting of the Town Board. Arboretum Organization Burrell suggested, and all agreed, that the Arboretum would be designated as a park and that the Arboretum Committee would continue to operate much as it has all along, but the committee would be renamed the Nannen Arboretum Society. The society’s function and purpose
would be to “use and maintain the Arboretum to benefit town residents and visitors.” To ensure good communication, Burrell also suggested that a steering committee composed of a town board member, a village board member and an Arboretum Society member be formed. The Arboretum, which was a non-profit organization associated with the Cooperative Extension Service, will need to reapply for 501 (c) 3 status. Town Attorney Kathleen Moriarty will advise the See Nannen Arboretum page 14
students to solve problems using creative thinking, brainstorming, teamwork and problem-solving skills. The program is designed to teach the concept that “a group is a more powerful thinking force than an individual.” To watch the students at work on their problems, one quickly sees that this program also is great fun and a source of pride as well. Five teams of Ellicottville Central School students and their teacher-coaches are hard at work fine-tuning their projects for the regional tournament that takes place this Saturday,
March 9, in Wellsville, where teams from 12 western New York school districts will be competing to advance to the state tournament. Of the five mind-bending problems posed by the international Odyssey of the Mind program, the ECS teams chose three. One elementary school team, coached by Diana Olson, is working on a problem that requires them “to design, build and run three vehicles that will deliver parts to an assembly area.” Further instructions See ECS Odyssey page 6
Sugaring a Family Affair for the Ulingers of East Otto By Jeff Martin
Tim Ulinger has lived most of his life in syrup. Growing up in East Otto, Ulinger and his father worked together tapping the dozen maple trees on their property, selling their product to friends and families. That was back in 1982. As the years went by, Ulinger and his father produced a little more each year. When he tells the story now, Ulinger, 39, chuckles a bit. “We’d come home and boil everything we had,” he said. “Boil it all night. I think the most syrup we got was 86 gallons in one season.”
Back in the good old days, the Ulingers tapped trees with primitive tools and collected sap into buckets, which they placed in plastic bags and hauled back to the fire. Now, years later, Tim and his wife Missy preside over what has become a childhood love turned popular business. While the equipment is bigger and more expensive, the hours longer and more strenuous, the process of tapping maple trees, transporting the sap through the forest and into the sugar shack before it’s boiled, the process is the same. In fact, it’s an ancient
process that continues to baffle everyone who is involved in the process — whether commercially or personally. “I mean, how did Native Americans even know to get the sap out and then boil it?” Missy questioned. “It’s amazing.” When Tim graduated high school in 1991, he entered the police academy and eventually found employment in Jamestown and other departments. He worked on his career from 1993 to 2000, and tapping maple trees became a rare occurrence. See Sugaring page 4

I can’t help but make connections in my life. At my age — a spry 39, I must say — there have been enough trails blazed throughout the north, south, east and western compass points of this g rand country that a few of those trails, or themes, have crossed and/or repeated themselves. Take for instance my unintended habit of living in places where the local sports teams struggle. I was born and raised not far from Cleveland, a city that holds a special place in the hearts of sports conspiracy theorists throughout the world. Because I’m limited space in this introductory column, I’m hand-tied from talking about how similar the Browns resemble the Kansas City Chiefs, another team and athletic market I had the unfortunate opportunity to live near. From 2007 to 2012, I lived in the wind-torn landscape of Kansas City, witnessing all the while the fumbling and the bumbling of a onceg reat football franchise. When I moved to the Spring ville area last August, I wasn’t surprised that teams like the Bills and the Sabres perpetuated the dot-connecting theme that has become common in my life. But let me say — life is more than just sports; it’s also about food. As disappointing as these sports markets continue to be, the cities of Cleveland, Kansas City and Buffalo excel beyond measure when it comes to its culinary climate. In Cleveland, sausage and chili and ribs reig n. In Kansas City, all newly born children are born with a bottle of barbecue sauce in their hands. And in the Buffalo and reg ions south, people have wings. And sponge candy. And maple syrup. Approaching Enchanted Mountain residents this weekend is the f irst of two Maple Weekends, whereby producers across New York state prepare by jamming taps into maple trees as though they were kegs of beer and pull forth the precious sap, boil it at an extreme temperature and bottle it. It wasn’t until I started talking to some local producers, and tasting the fruits of their sweet labor, that I f inally realized I was destined to live among a landscape chiseled not so much out of g ranite and limestone and shale but rather beef loins and chicken wings, all of which blanketed in some kind of sauce. And yet there are differences. Many of the places in which I lived did not offer events like Maple Weekends, where literally dozens and dozens of maple producers open up their sugar shacks and businesses to show just how they do it. And for free. In this edition of The Ellicottville Times, I visited and interviewed Tim and Missy Ulinger, a wonderful couple that live in the East Otto area (which for those of you who are unaware, is a mere 10–15 minutes from Ellicottville). They have what they call a “side business,” Ulinger’s Maple Farm, which is an absurd claim; anyone who invests the time and money in a business as the Ulinger’s have are more than just weekend f lea market vendors. Packing up the car this week, I drove out to their property and watched how the whole process of making maple syrup works. Interestingly, the process isn’t a manufacturing process so much as it is a removal process: sap is merely separated from its water, and that is that. After the interview, while driving down the road with the sugary nectar taste still lingering in my mouth, I also learned a universal truth that connects all people regardless of the miles that separate them: that the soul of a place is in its food, and the people who are talented enough to show you how it’s done. The quality of food and the rich culture that makes up this area, especially Ellicottville and its surrounding environs, has prompted me to share with you on a weekly basis in this newspaper my personal experiences within the village and its neighbors. I hope you enjoy it. For more information about how you can enjoy Maple Weekends to the fullest, visit www.mapleweekend.com and www.enchantedmountains.com.

Sugaring for the Ulingers Cont. from Front Page
“Power tools come in handy when drilling for sap,” according to Matt Lindsey and Matt Ulinger.
“I’d help my dad every so often, when I could find the time,” he said. In 2000, they found a property on Crumb Hill Road in East Otto. A large, sprawling property, the owners dabbled in maple syrup production and had a basic facility on the property — known as a sugar shack. When the Ulingers saw it, they knew they wanted to get back in the syrup business. “I love the woods,” Tim said. “I love the whole process of it. It’s neat to see all the work that goes into it, all the labor, and enjoying the product when it’s all done.” In their first year, the Ulingers tapped 1,000 trees. Thirteen years later, they have 10,000 trees spread across 80 acres of land, most of which surrounds their home. Trudging up the hill behind the house, Tim and his family — wife Missy and their five children, plus hired help Matt Ulinger and Matt Lindsey — point to one of the trees and the two taps jutting out of it. They study the scars from last year’s holes and smile. “This is a good, healthy tree,” Matt Ulinger said. “See how the hole closed up?” The family is expecting a good season. Unlike last year,
the weather has been cold and warm, which causes the sap inside the tree to move. They began tapping trees in earnest about the first week in February and are bottling steadily now. In addition to gallon jugs, there are half-gallon jugs and small pints lining the tables. There are even drums of the precious elixir in one corner, some of which will be shipped as far as China. This year marks the third season using their new evaporator, which improves the speed by which the sap is boiled and converted into syrup. It’s a simple process requiring some of the most complex machinery in the business, some of which cost upwards of $50,000. “It’s not a hobby,” Tim said. “A lot of people think it’s just putting a hole in a tree.” New York State continues to be one of the hotbeds of maple syrup production. In fact, state legislators are continuing their push to get more landowners to lease their land to syrup producers. There are tax

incentives, Tim said, because people are realizing just how much of a cash crop maple syrup is. Both Tim and Missy are interested in expanding and growing their business. As far as taps go, the Ulingers tapped an additional 200 trees in the last two weeks. “We’re always looking ahead,” Missy said, adding that participating in Maple Weekends in the future is a possibility, as well as a small pancake house. In addition to syrup, the Ulingers sell maple cream, pancake mix, maple candy and granulated sugar. Their product can be found as close as Springville and Cattaraugus, to as far away as Switzerland and China. Still, Ulingers Maple Farm is already a Maple Weekends outfit. People stop in all the time to watch them boil the sap. Missy said many people stop by and ask for tours — and call the fire department. “They see the smoke and think our barn is on fire,” Missy laughed. “They probably aren’t from around here.” And judging by the interest shown by one of their children, Tim, the business won’t be fading into the sunset anytime soon. “The kids have shown interest in keeping it going, especially Tim,” Tim said of his son. “The kids love helping out with the whole operation,” Missy said. “It’s a family affair.”
The second meeting of the Friends of Allegany State Park workday on Sat. March 2 was a huge success. With 14 good folks participating, the inside of the Camp Allegany Rec Hall, the Rec Hall foyer was painted, 7 rooms in the upper barracks were primed.
Participants included: Rick Feuz, John Michael Mibrandt, Sandy Boscar, D Swetadri Vasa Setlur Nagesh, Kevin Gallineau, John Luby, Yvonne Abwender-Ralicki, Luanne Wanamaker, Karen Kingsley, Heather Ferrara, Maddie Ferrara, Kammeo
Morreale, Ryan Slattery and Paul Crawford. “I wish to thank each and every one of you for your kind and selfless donations of time, gas, painting supplies, labor and food. It is on this day that your efforts made the park a nicer place for you, your children and your grandchildren. You have set an example for others, not with words, but by most importantly action, and for this, I applaud you. Thank you, thank you!” Paul Crawford

Legal Matters:
Easements: What You Need To Know By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, Attorneys and Counselors of Law
Legal Matters is a regular column intended to address general legal concerns. Since every client walks in the door with a different set of circumstances, you should not rely on this column to provide specific legal advice. If you are in need of specific legal advice, please consult with an attorney; he or she will provide advice that is unique and tailored to your legal needs.
An easement is an interest in land that gives the holder some lawful use over the property of another. Although easements may be deeded, they do not convey ownership; easements convey only a specific “right to use.” For instance, where an easement is granted for the right of ingress and egress, it is the right of passage, and not any right in a physical passageway itself that is granted to the easement holder. The most common easement is a joint driveway. Utility easements are also very common and are regularly reflected on survey maps and in title searches. National
Grid, for example, requests easements from landowners when it runs power lines under or over private property; the easement allows the companies to maintain and repair the lines in the future. Easements may be created by express grant – through a deed or by way of an easement agreement. Under certain circumstances, an easement may be implied by necessity or by prior use. When land is subdivided, creating landlocked parcels, it is implied that the landlocked parcels will have an easement over non-landlocked parcels to access a public road. Since easements “run with the land” – meaning that they are binding on future owners and users – they can be both a blessing and a curse. Often, an easement is created to serve an immediate need, but parties have no way of knowing how the land use will change in the
future. For instance, a joint driveway that is intended to be used for residential use cannot later be used for commercial use without the consent of both parties. Likewise, the same driveway can’t lawfully be used to access properties other than those originally intended to benefit from the easement. Thus, parties considering an easement agreement are wise to give careful thought to its intended use. Similarly, when buying property, it is critical to understand what rights you may or may not have in an easement that is located on the property.

Routes to Art Weekend Set for May 18 and 19
Tours Centers Around Ellicottville in its Sixth Year On May 18 and 19, 2013, Routes to Art weekend, artists around the region will open their homes, studios and businesses to welcome visitors and present their artwork. Now in its sixth year, Routes to Art (RTA) is an annual, self-guided, open-studio artists’ tour taking place in Cattaraugus County and the Seneca Nation of Indians. The weekend will showcase work from 35 participating artists who work in painting, jewelry, basket weaving, ceramics, drawing, beadwork, painted porcelain, photography, fabric, sculpture and wood carving. Anne Conroy-Baiter, Cattaraugus County Arts Council’s executive director said, “This year, we’re focusing the tour around the county’s center. Ellicottville, Salamanca, Little Valley, Cattaraugus and Irving will form an easy driving loop, more manageable and accessible to visitors coming in from Buffalo and Canada.” In past years, visitors were sometimes unable to visit every artist on the tour due to the sheer size of the county. The new, centralized loop will allow visitors to easily enjoy the full tour during either a day
trip or the full weekend. Routes to Art will feature 35 artists this year, including 10 from the Seneca Nation and six new regional artists. Ms. Conroy-Baiter noted, “We’re particularly excited to be adding a selection of new artists to the tour. Ellen Paquette of Warren, Pa., will be featuring her line of Wee Beasties, a selection of plush dolls, puppets, and imaginative animals. Jennifer Karns of Ellicottville will be showing her photographs of the beautiful natural
surroundings of Western New York. And Charlene Kickbush of Cattaraugus will be selling her handmade books. Repeat visitors will be able to enjoy many of their favorite artists who are returning this year, while adding in a few new artists to the mix.” Routes to Art offers a unique opportunity to explore the scenic countryside and discover the hidden talents that Cattaraugus County has to offer. Visitors are guaranteed to enjoy this sneak-peek into the inner workings of the art world and purchase one-of-akind artwork directly from the hands that created it.

BOCES 8th Winter Carnival Draws Almost 700 Students to Ellicottville By Eva Potter
Approximately 700 special education students from Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES region participated in the annual Winter Carnival on March 5–6, 2013, at the Holiday Valley Tubing Park. Over the course of two days, students and teachers from non-BOCES classrooms came from AlleganyLimestone, Andover, BolivarRichburg, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Cuba-Rushford, Ellicottville, Hinsdale, Olean, Pioneer, Portville, Randolph, Wellsville, West Valley and Whitesville. Students and teachers from BOCES classes came from Allegany County, Olean, Pioneer, Portville and Salamanca to participate in a fun day of outdoor events. “For me, the most rewarding thing is seeing the kids who are either in wheelchairs and get to go down the tubing hill for the first time and the kids who have never done anything like this before,” said Debbie Golley, carnival event coordinator and special education supervisor
for Southern Cattaraugus County. “Some kids are so scared the first time down the hill and then they are so excited to go again. It is just exciting to see that many kids playing outside and participating, which is why we started this event in the first place.” The two-day event included an obstacle course, tubing, snow soccer, broom hockey along with indoor games. Hayrides were also provided courtesy of Pumpkinville and the BOCES Ellicottville Career and Technical Center. Golley said, “Tubing is always the most popular,
as our kids do not have the opportunity to do something like this very often. Broom hockey is very popular for the older kids.” She said Holiday Valley has many volunteers every year who are great with the students. WPIG-FM’s Big Pig attended the event both days and balloon artist Tom O’Connor helped entertain while Bob McCarthy acted as master of ceremonies. Golley said the annual event has always had a strong volunteer showing. Nearly 300 volunteers assisted during the events and included student volunteers from Ellicottville Central School and the Ellicottville Career and Technical Education Center. “Holiday Valley has been terrific over the years and helps us plan the event every year,” said Golley. “Pumpkinville loaned BOCES their wagon for the hay rides and the Big Pig from WPIG volunteered his time also.”

ECS Board Tackles 2013-14 Budget By Jann Wiswall
The Ellicottville School Board took its first stab at reviewing a draft of the FY 2013-14 Budget on Tuesday, March 5. This first of several budget work sessions focused solely on expenses; revenue figures are not yet available to work with. The long list of line items that need to have numbers attached every year were reviewed in comparison to FY 2012-13 budget estimates. Most recurring items are being budgeted at close to the same levels as the current fiscal year, although increases in postage, fuel costs and other items beyond the school’s control are anticipated. In addition, there are a
number of new items that must be budgeted by state mandate – the most challenging of them is a $198,000 increase in contributions that must be made to the State Teacher Retirement System. BOCES also is requiring area schools to upgrade and install new routers, wiring and connections for supervision of instruction, which is payable over five years, but is a new line item. There are also some items on the wish list that will require board approval – including a proposal to purchase some 130 Netbooks. The board will consider this once revenue figures are available. The school is making the effort to cut the budget where possible, as well. Plans are to
eliminate one teacher position (through attrition) and one staff position in FY 2013-14. Other reductions in costs taken this year will be realized again next year. Superintendent Mark Ward explained that the federal budget sequestration, which may or may not be resolved before the school budget is finalized, would only have a $10,000 impact on ECS due to the fact that the school does not depend on federal grants and the number of Ellicottville’s students receiving free and reduced school lunches is comparatively low. Still, this would represent a loss of revenue and an increase in expenses that would have to be covered in the budget process.
Scenes from Odyssey of the Mind preparation • Jann Wiswall photos
The idea of the “Pilates body” is not a new one. As well, it has far more to do with what is happening within than it is a reflection of a body external. Originating in the early 1900s, Pilates, as we conceive it today, was guided by the vision of Joseph H. Pilates and found its fundamental essence in his aptly named philosophy of “Contrology.” “Ideally the body obeys the will of the mind” characterizes his belief that the mind-body connection greatly enhances athletic conditioning. Far more than a series of creative weight-bearing exercises, Pilates is simultaneously a well-researched philosophy of controlled, centered
movement. Based on Pilates’ observations and life’s experiences, the Pilates method of conditioning has enjoyed the accolades of fitness enthusiasts, both professional and recreational, for over 100 years. Long a secret of the dance world, Pilates is now considered mainstream and its fundamental concept of strengthening deep muscles of the trunk and back is a recognized essential component of any properly designed fitness program. Functional training of the core is now widely understood to be a prerequisite to a body that is well-balanced, supple and strong — and it is methodically achieved from the inside out! Deep intrinsic muscles responsible for initial stabilization are targeted and trained to fire prior to the larger, more well-known and often overdeveloped superficial muscle groups. The result is a body that is far more balanced, is capable of moving through space with efficiency and grace and one that has its origins in mindful neuromuscular awareness.
So, whether you are hitting the slopes, taking a jog, enjoying a trail ride or just washing the remnants of a wonderfully white winter from your weary vehicle, why not take a step into your own autonomy and do it with awareness...do it with intention....do it from your core? Breathe deeply and consciously and experience an internal power and peace that is restorative both mentally and physically, a place of connectivity that can literally transform the quality of your life. To “Experience the Difference,” contact Kim at (716) 708-3910 or email pilates2breathe@aol.com. To be continued next week …

ECS Odyssey Tournament Cont. from Front Page
require that the parts be assembled into a pet animal that then must perform a trick. There are all sorts of other requirements for the project that must be incorporated, including different delivery methods for each vehicle, creating a signal indicating that a vehicle is about to travel, performing a skit to describe the whole problem, and much more. This group of 4th and 5th graders came up with some ingenious solutions, such as using a ramp, a pendulum and a leaf blower to move their vehicles. They also wrote songs for their skits. Two teams are working on another problem called “The Email Must Go Through.” This requires teams to develop a representation of an email “server” that can send and receive emails and filter spam. Once again, students must include a number of required elements in their solutions. The elementary grade team, coached by April Donoghue, has created a nature theme to demonstrate their solution. It involves a giant beehive as the server and hamster balls and tennis ball containers as the email delivery devices. Their system sorts emails into a squirrel’s nest and spam into a box decorated with junk mail. Meanwhile, a middle school team working on the same problem, with JoAnn Kurtis as coach, came up with a lottery
game that uses ping pong balls and mini balloons to represent emails and spam. They created a fan-operated device that keeps the balloons flying around inside a huge plastic container, and a pneumatictube-like mechanism for return email. The last two teams are working on a problem called “It’s How You Look at It.” Teams are asked to “present an original humorous performance” showing how a character they create acts “normally” in his/her own environment, but “oddly” in another character’s setting, and vice versa. The middle school team working on this problem, coached by Jane Chew, has created a very colorful, animated character named “Roy G. Biv” (Red-orangeyellow Green. Blue-indigoviolet) who is in search of a new color. Playing on the Odyssey of the Mind acronym, a meditative character named Omm from “Ommmetropolis” enters Roy’s world wearing neutral colors. Each character visits the other’s environment where they are each out of place, but only odd by the other’s definition. The high school team of 11th and 12th graders, coached by Caitlyn Keller with 11th grader and assistant coach Megan Westfall, also has addressed this problem in a creative way.
Their main characters are an elderly man in a nursing home and a nurse. The man considers himself to be very hip, which makes him “odd” to the nurse in the nursing home setting, but when the nurse follows him outside of the home to visit with some “cool kids,” she’s the one who’s odd. Ellicottville has been participating in the Odyssey of the Mind program for decades. Every year, one or more teams from the school have advanced to the state competition in Binghamton. In 2005, a team of 4th and 5th graders made it all the way to the World Finals, held that year in Colorado. They placed 13th in that competition. Colleen Bower, who teaches kindergarten at ECS and is this year’s Odyssey of the Mind coordinator, explains that teams are made up of students in good academic standing who have been recommended for the program by their teachers. Because the problems are so involved, it takes teams months of after-school work to bring the solution from concept to completion. “This is a great way for students of all ages to use their teamwork and creative thinking skills to come up with fantastic solutions to very complex and involved problems,” says Bower.

Kings and Queens Cont. from Front Page
Queen Melanie Pritchard and King Ken Brown loyal followers will escort the float along the same parade route that Ken followed so many times during his reign at Holiday Valley and in the village he loved. “Ken was such a great king that he was always the King,” said 1994 Queen Patti Crist, organizer of the King and Queen competition. The queen was selected by a vote of applause at the gazebo following the parade. “The first parade,” said Carol Fisher, “was a huge community effort. Everybody pitched in.” Carol, with the help of Mike Kerns, Patti Crist, Jane Eshbaugh, Ken Brown and a host of others, led the effort to make it all happen. “It was a dry time economically for the retailers at this end of the season. The parade brought skiers to town to frequent the shops and restaurants. The economic benefit of this was phenomenal,” said Carol. To the thrill of the crowds lining the street, the first parade had 20 colorful floats and walking groups performing their antics down Main Street handing out necklaces of colorful beads. Jester hats added to the fun of the royal occasion. “It was magical,” said Fisher. King Ken, in royal costumes of colorful fabrics and a jeweled crown of feathers, loved to go against royal tradition with personalized additions to his royal attire such as his signature accessory of a huge mitten. Twelve queens had the honor
of reigning with King Ken from 1993 to 2004. Queen Jane Martin ruled with King Ken in 2000. According to Jane, “because of the caliber and personality, he truly deserves to be remembered as the King of Ellicottville.” The tradition ended with Queen Pat Enger in 2004. The 50th Anniversary of Holiday Valley booklet published in 2008 tells a story about King Ken. “When asked about how he won the King Contest at Winter Carnival so many years in a row, he has no qualms in saying, ‘I bought the votes!’ He would bribe the audience during the parade by handing out Loonies, Krispy Kreme donuts and roses to the ladies. “ In 1993, Queen Ginger Anderson (now deceased) was named the first queen of the
Village Mardi Gras parade. Patti Crist reports her dreading the trip to the costume shop until they found the perfect outfit for her — a Norwegian Viking Queen costume with a helmet with horns and braids! “Red, white and blue was the order of the day,” said 2002 Queen Amy DeTine. “I didn’t realize how serious this being a queen nominee was, riding along on the float having a good old time with Vicki Emke dressed in her husband’s Marine uniform as my guard. All of a sudden, Patti Crist was running alongside yelling at me, ‘wave, you have to wave more’!” “How does a queen nominee prepare to march in the parade knowing King Ken Brown will be wearing the most flamboyant and magnificent costume ever?” asked 1994 Queen Patti Crist. “At the costume shop, we found a great Cleopatra outfit, so CleoPatti was born. Ken’s signature oversized yellow mitten was always part of his garb, but he has shown up on stilts and even with a generator in tow to literally light him up. He loved being King.” Chris (Moose) Brown, Ken’s son, said, “It was a great event for Ellicottville. Ken loved entertaining people and having a good laugh. Carpe Diem (seize the day)!” All who knew Ken are better having been a part of his life, perhaps less serious about ourselves, perhaps more willing to break out of the mold of expectation, developing a better sense of humor, and for sure he gave us a far greater appreciation for the gift of life and how it can be lived.

FLITE Cup Weekend Double Aerials Meet
The FLITE Cup weekend got off to a flying start with FLITE Team athletes taking to the air.

Canadian HoliBreak About To Take Over HoliMont It has been a February-like start to the month of March and HoliMont has been loving every moment of it. The snow accumulation over Sunday, March 3 and Monday the 4th was not only enough to coat the area in a frosty-white hue but also had powder hounds out in full force as they looked to take advantage of the unexpected snowfall. One thing that is expected in the month of March is the arrival of Canadian Spring Break (March 11–15), this year known as HoliBreak here at HoliMont. The Canadian Spring Break always makes for a fun and exciting time here at HoliMont as many of our neighbors to the north flock to Ellicottville for a week of snow sports, fun and relaxation. Sunday, March 10, there is a kickoff HoliBreak party where Only Humen will be rockin’ the Chalet from 3–6 p.m. People will have the opportunity to sign up for things like HoliBreak Volleyball Tournament (outdoors on a court of snow), Bump Contest (Wednesday at 1 p.m.), Family Race (Thursday at 1:30 p.m.), and the Euchre Tournament (Thursday at 3 p.m.). This year, the organizers of HoliBreak have outdone
themselves in terms of activities in and around the Chalet. While many of the events are geared toward the kids, there is plenty of fun for all ages in store next week. Every day during the week, there will be coloring contests (for the young or just young of heart – awards for all ages), Bingo (every afternoon at 3:15 p.m. the cafeteria turns into a competitive bingo zone – cards are $1 each or 7 for $5), and Bombardier Drops (test your skills at dropping tennis balls into a barrel off the Exhibition Express lift – balls can be purchased daily starting at 11:45 a.m. for $1). Have you ever wanted to take a ride in a Sno-Cat? Well on Tuesday and Wednesday you will have your chance. From 4:45 –5:45 p.m., HoliMont will be offering groomer rides up the T-Bar Run. Tickets are $5 and must be purchased in advance. There is limited space so purchase your tickets early. This event is weather permitting. The Family Volleyball Tournament starts on Monday
Dennis & Kim – Like Two Kids At Concentration Camp Imagine, if you will the strangest meeting of two minds of two highly recognizable people on this planet, one very powerful and the other quite kookoo bananas. How about the unlikely pairing of Vladimir Putin and Pewee Herman? Or Queen Elizabeth and Lady Gaga? The Pope and Charlie Manson? Last week, newspapers with headlines that sent readers looking for the April 1st date announced former NBA star and professional wrestler, Dennis Rodman, who once competed in Finland’s Wife Carrying Championship without a wife met with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, the world’s most dangerous and unpredictable leader. Rodman and Un. When Rodman “The Worm” met Kim “The Nuclear Nutbar” it was friendship at first sight and the rest is just the weirdest act of international diplomacy in history. The shock could only have been greater if the newspapers had published a long-lost photograph of Joseph Stalin and Mahatma Gandhi camping together. Dennis Rodman who has more tattoos and facial rings than North Korea has nuclear warheads met with Kim Jong Un!!! And there they were together, laughing and watching a basketball game with Dennis’ nose stud overshadowing Kim’s wedding ring, this in a country where even facial hair is forbidden. Rodman had travelled to the capital of Pyongyang with the Harlem Globetrotters basketball for an exhibition match against North Korea’s best players and to conduct a basketball camp for kids. During their two days together Dennis and Kim took in an ice skating demonstration, visited an aquarium and apparently enjoyed a very long dinner together in which alcohol was the main course. Fortunately these two crazy guys, all snapped up on soju didn’t get into one of those “Do not! Do too! Do not! Do
too!” scenarios in which they stagger out back so that Kim can prove he’s got a nuclear warhead that will reach America. Nobody likes a state dinner that ends with a mushroom cloud instead of dessert. Un, from a long line of Kims is dead set on destroying the United States in a nuclear suicide mission. Most of the country’s 22 million people are malnourished and almost 400,000 die of starvation every year. Approximately 200,000 North Koreans live in labourintensive concentration camps, some are born there and never get out. And Dennis Rodman’s critical assessment of Kim Jong Un, the high priest of human rights abuse? “I love the guy, I think he’s awesome. So honest. Guess what? He’s my friend.” As a result of this encounter, Dennis Rodman who once wore a wedding dress for the launch of his biography – and I must say, in the photos featuring the long veil and beaded bra he does look quite fetching – now knows more about the worlds’ most treacherous tyrant than anybody else on earth including Hillary, John Kerry, the CIA and the ghost of J. Edgar Hoover. It’s hard to determine which is more dangerous, Kim Jong Un and his nuclear program or Dennis Rodman with information nobody else has. Scary as it might be, the question needs to be asked: “Is Dennis Rodman the new Hillary?” Let’s be honest, she wasn’t able to get a face-to-face meeting with Kim Jung Un plus Dennis looks a lot better than her in a dress. In the American system of government which has been officially declared dysfunctional, do not think the title “Ambassador Rodman” is entirely out of the question. I can only imagine the CIA’s debriefing of Dennis Rodman when he returned from North
and then the finals are on Wednesday. Tuesday the “Open” Volleyball Tournament will begin, with finals taking place on Thursday. There will also be a Candy Hunt for the kids and a karaoke/HoliBreak Idol après ski contest Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m. Wednesday is “One-Piece Wednesday” where there will be some great prizes for the best vintage ski outfit. There is also a hotdog/sausage lunch that day from 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. and an après ski party where a HoliMont favorite, The Party Squad, will have the Chalet in full party mode. On Friday, be sure to swing by HoliMont and go up to Carpenter’s Corners from noon–1 p.m. for Maple Syrup Taffy. The taffy debuted last season and was an instant crowd pleaser. All that and more will be taking place throughout the week. It’s sure to be a lively one here at HoliMont and we’re looking forward to it. HoliMont is open to nonmembers every Monday – Friday (excluding the week between Christmas and New Year’s), so feel free to stop by and check out HoliBreak.

Korea. Agent: “Did Kim Jong Un appear to be a stable individual?” Rodman: “Oh man, I don’t know. We were both pretty wasted.” Agent: “Did he make any threats against Americans?” Rodman: “Well right after like the fifth time we sang “A Hundred Bottles Of Beer On The Wall” he said he could kick Tiger Woods’ ass at golf.” Agent: “Did you detect any erratic behavior in the man?” Rodman: “No, not really. I mean he shot one of the waiters at the head table but to be honest, the soup was cold.” Agent: “Did you see Kim’s fusion reactor?” Rodman: “Ah, so that’s what you guys call it. No we didn’t like shower together or anything. We just watched the game.” Agent: “Did you take any photos?” Rodman: “Tons of ‘em. Everything. Everywhere.” Agent: “Can I see them?” Rodman: “I deleted all the ones of the buildings and factories. You wanna see me and Kim kissing a dolphin at the same time?” Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that Dennis Rodman’s career as a diplomat comes to a quick and quiet end and this trend dies with it. The last thing we need is to pick up a newspaper next month and read: “North Korean Ambassador Rodman today met with Secretary of Defense Clint Eastwood.” Upon landing Rodman tweeted his legion of fans that he was: “looking forward to running into the Gangnam style dude.” No one told him that if in fact that meeting took place, he’d be in the wrong Korea. The important thing is the pilot knew the difference. For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca

March 18 Spring Lift Ticket Rates Begin Save 10% Save the Date for the 2nd Annual Mudslide Obstacle Trail Run The second annual Holiday Valley Mudslide is a mud run that’s FUN. Yes, you’ll get muddy. Yes, there is running. Yes, there are eight obstacles but NO fire, NO barbed wire and NO electric shocks! The 3.5-mile course starts at the top of the mountain at Spruce Lake (we’ll even give you a ride up on a chairlift) and runs along the ridgeline then down the hill. The 5.4-mile course adds a bit of uphill running, just in case you’re feeling especially tough. There is a maximum of 2,000 competitors. Registration is $60 for the 3.5 OR the 5.4 mile run until June 1, and starting June 2, registration is $75. The Kids’ Race is $5 (up to age 12) and they can register at the starting line. Day-of-race registration/packet pickup (if available) is from 8–10 a.m. at the Mountain Sports Center, next to Yodeler Lodge. You must pre-register before June 1 to be guaranteed a T-shirt. All competitors will receive a goody bag and a super cool finisher’s medal plus a hot dog and two beers (or beverages). If you’re thinking about entering, do it now because we’re limiting the field to 2,000 competitors. Preregistration is available at www.active.com. To be announced — fun events for Friday night, so plan ahead to stay overnight at the Inn or the Tamarack Club. Beat the rush and pick up your race packet on Friday from 5–8
p.m. at John Harvard’s Brew House at the Tamarack Club at Holiday Valley. Course Route The event will start in waves of 100 people per wave at 10 a.m. from Spruce Lake, beginning with the long course runners. A ride to the start on the Spruce Lake chairlift is included in the entry fee. Please allow 45 minutes to get from the base to the starting line at Spruce Lake! Spectators may ride for $5. The 3.5 mile-course goes from Spruce Lake, across the cross-country trails to the top of Eagle, down Woodstock, across Explorer to Morning Star, then through the woods and across Mardi Gras, down Holiday Run to Edelweiss with a finish at the Training Center. The short course elevation has a drop of 600 feet — downhill! The 5.4-mile course adds a loop from Eagle across to Cindy’s, down a logging road to lower Bear Cub and back uphill to Explorer. This section is so steep we’ve installed ropes to help you scramble up! You’ll navigate eight obstacles along the trail and the final challenge is a giant mudslide down lower Yodeler. Your medal will be awarded at the finish line. Prizes will also be awarded to the overall three fastest males and females. A course map with contours is available at www.holidayvalley.com/ mudslide. The Kids’ MiniMudslide
course is 1/2 mile long and includes two obstacles plus the mudslide. Start and finish is at the Training Center. The MiniMudslide takes place after the Mudslide is complete, at approximately 1:30 p.m. Register your child at the start line for $5. Check in, day-of-race registration and a bag check are from 8–10 a.m. at the Training Center at the base of Yodeler. After your run, you can shower under the snow guns and changing facilities will be available. The post-race party to end all parties starts at 1 p.m. with hot dogs, beer, music and craziness. Costumes are encouraged, and prizes will be awarded to the most creative. Our photo service will be out on the course capturing your muddiest moments. They’ll be set up on the Yodeler deck where you can view and purchase your photos, or go online to order later. The Post Race Party! Tunes, games and plenty of liquid refreshments will be at the post race party on the Champagne Sundeck, just outside the Yodeler Lodge. Starting at 11:30 a.m., competitors will receive a free hot dog and two beverages. Friends and family are welcome to purchase food and beverages and join in the fun. DJ John Barry will keep the party goin’ on. Bring your (friendly) dogs, Frisbees, hulahoops and smiles. Be sure to
wear your medal in town after the event and on Sunday for the many special offers from merchants and restaurants/ bars!

Holiday Valley Ski Patrol Food Drive Needs Your Help 2013 marks the 18th year of the Ski Patrol Food Drive during Holiday Valley’s Mardi Gras weekend. This year’s food drive is fast approaching, and it is more important than ever. The theme of the food drive this year is, “Hey gang, what time is it?” For the past 17 years, the Holiday Valley Ski Patrol has collected money, cases of food and other necessary general home items, and again we are asking for your help. All it takes is a few minutes of your time to go through your cupboards and look at all the non-expired canned food or boxed food items and set them aside for donation to the Ellicottville Food Pantry. They might include canned goods, pasta, rice, jars such as peanut butter, and any other sealed

containers. Then go back and take out one more item, like paper towels, tissue paper, toilet paper or toothpaste. This is a year where each one of us should go that extra step to help someone else. Now that you have done that, bring the items to Tops Market in Ellicottville on Friday evening, March 8 between 4:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. where a ski patrolman will be standing outside to collect these items. If you just can’t make it Friday evening, how about Saturday, March 9 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., or even Saturday evening where many ski patrolmen will be walking down each side of the street during the Mardi Gras parade, collecting food and money. Food donation boxes will also be set up at the Red Door Ski Shop and at Holiday
Valley at Skiers Services or the Ski Patrol at the bottom of Yodeler, where you can drop off items all week long. Those who stop by Tops Market Friday evening or Saturday won’t go away empty handed for their generosity. We will award you with a colorful strand of Mardi Gras beads to wear during the weekend events. I hope to see all of you Friday or Saturday, and as I have said each year, “Ski patrollers have a passion for skiing and compassion for others.” Our job both on and off the ski slopes is to help others, so now we ask that you please help us to help others.

Simply Food By Liz Bares
Jambalaya Jambalaya is considered a filling but simple dish to prepare by many Louisianans. Gumbos, etouffees, and creoles are much more time consuming to prepare. There are a couple different types of jambalaya, depending on where you are from in Louisiana. Creole jambalaya originates from (and are found mostly in) the French Quarter of New Orleans and includes tomatoes. Cajun jambalaya originates from the rural swamp country of Louisiana. Cajuns call New Orleans’ jambalaya “red jambalaya” and
New Orleans folks call the Cajun’s jambalaya “brown jambalaya.” Cajun’s don’t use tomatoes, hence the brown reference. However, both jambalayas use the “holy trinity” which is celery, onions and green pepper. In nonCajun/Creole food, the “holy trinity” consists of celery, onions and carrots. Most soups, stews or slow cooked items use the “holy trinity” as the first level of flavor and build from there. The following recipe is a Cajun quick jambalaya using chicken and sausage. Cajun

jambalaya has a smokier, spicier flavor than its Creole namesake. This recipe makes about six servings. You could substitute any meat you would like. Some folks prefer shrimp and sausage. In doing some research on jambalayas, I found that Cajun jambalaya typically has a combination of the following crawfish, shrimp, oysters, alligator, duck, turtle, boar or venison.

“Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee” by Chris Van Dusen One winter morning, Mr. Magee and his little dog, Dee, head out bright and early to learn how to ski. But what begins as a pleasant day in the snow quickly goes downhill when a run-in with a curious moose sends them flying through the air and hanging above an abyss! How will Dee and Magee find their way out of this snowy situation? Chris Van Dusen, the creator of “Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee” and “A Camping Spree with Mr. Magee”, has crafted yet another fun-filled adventure for Magee fans old and new. This book is available at the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book format only. We also have his book “If I Built a Car”. Several other books by this author are available through inter library loan. Stop in and check out our selection of over 4,500 items in our children’s section.
*If you choose to use brown rice, your cooking time will be longer.
Directions: Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chicken and kielbasa until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes. Then stir in the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic. Season with cayenne, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook about 5 minutes or until the onion is tender and translucent. Add rice and stir. Then slowly add your chicken stock and bay leaves stirring as you add. Bring to a boil, then lower heat. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Add the Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce.
EARS Completes Large-Scale Rescue Submitted by EARS Group
Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS) recently received a call about abandoned animals in an unheated house. We had to help immediately. There were an estimated 40 animals in the house and, over the course of five days, we trapped 74 cats, kittens and mothers-to-be! Soon, every available kennel and all our foster homes were full. As of March 1, the cat/kitten count is up to 89 with more still to come. Caring for them has become a large task for a very small foster group. This is by far the largest rescue we have ever completed and we are asking for your support in this enormous undertaking. EARS is in desperate need of cat litter, litter boxes, litter box scoopers, canned cat food, paper towels, bleach, laundry detergent, large-size garbage bags, cleaning spray, and monetary donations to help us pay for vetting services and necessary medications. Each animal we
take in is fully vetted including dewormed, flea treated, vaccinated and, of course, spayed or neutered before we adopt them out. Each cat rescued from this one home will cost our group over $100 to pay for vet care alone, which doesn’t include their daily care. Empire Animal Rescue Society is an incorporated 501(c)(3) small group of volunteers based in Salamanca, N.Y. Our mission is to rescue and provide medical care to unwanted, neglected and abused animals, and find them loving homes. All donations are tax deductible. We will be at Katy’s Cafe at 10 Washington St. this Saturday, March 9 collecting supplies and monetary donations. Katy’s Cafe is a pet-friendly business so please stop down and see us, or drop off donations any time and they will get them to us. We will also be selling our famous gourmet dog biscuits to help support the animals. Thank you to all of the adopters out there
and please consider adding another to your family. Anyone wishing to support EARS can also drop off cans or bottles at Central Beer and Redemption Center on Central Avenue in Salamanca, during our can and bottle drive through the end of March, or drop off supplies and donations at the City Clerk’s Office in Salamanca’s City Hall. We will also accept gift cards for gas, Wal-Mart, Tractor Supply Company, PetCo and Pet Smart for supplies. Please mail gift cards or checks to: EARS, 2 Fancher Ave., Salamanca, N.Y. 14779, or make a payment PayPal at empirerescue@ gmail.com. We will mail you a taxdeductible receipt. For more details, please email empirerescue@gmail.com or call (716) 378-3576. Check out adoptable pets at www.empire. petfinder.com and “like” us on Facebook at Empire Animal Rescue Society.

Ease Into the Bumps (Continued from last week...) Go over to Morning Star and stop next to the beginning of the mogul field. You have moderate groomed slope next to some rather user friendly bumps. So simply make a turn in the groomed then turn into the bumps, turn back out, turn back in. Use the groomed turn to let you get realigned – “balanced athletic stance” – and prepare for where you enter the bumps. If you go over a bump, absorb with knees and ankles, keep your hands in front of you and your butt over your boots. Turn back out of bumps and turn back in. Do this with a rhythm and medium sized turns. Do this for several runs until you get the feeling of dealing variations of entering the moguls, are you entering on a bump, in a trough, over a side? Do this until you get a sense of reading the bumps.
Once you are comfortable after a couple of runs move to the top of the bumps again. Move into the edge until you sorta-kinda have one bump between you and the groomed. You are now in the bumps, but within one easy turn of getting yourself out in case you need an escape path, or just need to slide out and get a rhythm established again then slide back into the bumps. Stand up tall, hands in front and begin an easy side slip down the back of the bump you are standing on, once you are in a trough let your ski tips point down at an angle to the bump just down hill of you, slide up on the top of that bump and pivot your skis to point the other way and
SNOWSPORTS TIPS By Ron Kubicki, Director of Holiday Valley Snowsports School
slide down the back of that bump. Stop! Take a breath and look at what you just did. Pick the next two you want to ski over. Get in balance and go. Do this a couple times then add another bump. Remember to stay close to the edge of the mogul field so you can slide out easily to get your self together. Do this until you can put half a run in before you stop, then keep doing this same run until you get to a comfort level. Remember to use ankle and knees to “flex and extend” through the bumps. Absorb as you go over the top, and extend
your legs as you go over the back. A quick little drill to practice the “flex and extend” is to traverse through the bumps. Just point your skis across the slope and bend and extend your knees and ankles trying to keep your head as level as possible as your feet move up and down underneath you, try to point your tips down as you go over the top of the bumps, this will assure that you are forward and balanced, with hands in front. Do this and continue “picking lines” in the bumps and you will soon be the one that others watch from the lift. Skiing comfortably in the bumps is fun and exciting and opens up more of the mountain to you. There are many more tips for improving and enhancing your skills in the bumps. Consider taking a private session with one of our certified “Pros” and get some specific feedback. No matter where you go to ski and run into bumps be sure to look for a certified instructor to ski with you. Thank you for reading this article and remember to say “Hello” if we meet each other on the slope.

Health & Fitness Muscle Eats Fat In my last article, I discussed Target heart rates and the benefits of pushing yourself for some serious calorie burning. Now, let’s examine how to put together a workout session. Knowing what to do at the gym and how to do it is half the battle to creating an effective and efficient workout program. The optimal workout is a 10-minute warm-up on a low-impact cardio machine followed by 30 minutes of weight training and then 30 minutes of intense cardio. Efficiency is the key when structuring any workout, so long-duration cardio should NOT be done in the beginning of the session. The most intensive training should be done first in the workout, when
By Kim Duke neta & afaa Certified Trainer
you are at your best. By starting with weights, you alert the muscles to trigger the proteins that churn through calories while you train. So, even though you are probably feeling spent after 30 minutes of weight training, your body is ready to eat fat. This is because the body needs to burn through its sugar source first before it taps into the fat. You burn the sugar while doing the weights
then burn the fat with cardio. Just remember the phrase: ”Muscle eats the fat.” If you want to lose flab, and who doesn’t, you want your muscles as active as possible. That means starting with weights. The same design can be applied to a 30-minute workout. Just start with a five-minute, low-impact warm-up and hit the weights for the remainder of time. Take a few minutes to cool-down and stretch out, too. This type of workout may feel counterintuitive, since we feel sweating is “proof” we’re losing fat, but, you will lose more fat by pushing and pulling weights and then going on a brisk walk in your neighborhood. The guy/gal who is dripping buckets on the Stairmaster is getting a good workout, but you’re getting a better one by getting sore and not just getting soaked.

HoliMont to Patagonia: Glen Morden Cont. from Gatefold front page
Glen Morden on a recent trip to Japan
study industrial design. A course in backpack design marked the beginning of a successful career in the snowsports industry, starting as a backpack designer then slowly transitioning to outerwear and other products like gloves and sleeping bags. He worked for Mountain Equipment Co-op in Canada for quite some time and for the past six years has worked for Patagonia at their Ventura, Calif., headquarters specializing in snowsports and surf creative team. As part of Patagonia’s design team, Morden attends U.S. and international trade shows to meet with vendors, get feedback on their designs and source new technologies for future products. While he loves this aspect of his work, he said his favorite part of the job is “skiing with the athletes.” Product testing trips to the slopes of Chile, Argentina, the U.S., the world? Well,
somebody has to do it! Morden said there’s no better way to know if a product is meeting expectations than to put it to the test in real-life situations — right on the slopes. But before the public even hears about a new product, the design teams spends about 18 months from the first drawing to sending prototypes out to the athletes, then testing the products themselves. “For (Patagonia), we’ll make up various prototypes that could be as simple as just a modification of a jacket that called for a hem or a hood, and then we test that. And we test all the components individual. And if we put it into a design, then we test that jacket extensively. Basically it’s a ping pong game of testing and validation that lasts almost 18 months,” explained Morden. “Once we’re confident that it will work for all the customers, that’s when we start to put it
into a line that you would see in stores.” Morden said there is a demand for high quality outerwear products by skiers and snowboarders. He said the insulation technologies coming out now have become very advanced in keeping athletes’ core temperatures very stable and comfortable. “Lot of shells and jackets that you see now are very technical outerwear,” he said, citing Patagonia’s PowSlayer, a jacket that he’s proud to have worked on. Asked if this has been a fun career so far, he enthusiastically responded, “Oh yeah, a dream come true! I never thought that when I was skiing in Ellicottville on Greer hill that I would be doing this when I got older.” Despite all his worldly travels, Morden said he’s thankful for all Ellicottville has taught him. “I feel pretty lucky to go back there and ski all the time. It was a great place to grow up and has some of the best culture in the world,” he said. “It’s an awesome place. I’m fortunate to have had that time in my life and I go back every Christmas to ski, and try to get back when I can for Fall fest. I have a pretty great group of friends. The foundations that have helped me get to today, for sure, were built there with a great sense of community and camaraderie.”

The new Kwik Fill/Red Apple location at the corner of Route 219 and Mill Street has been doing a booming business since its opening in early December. The new location is twice as large as the old location across Mill Street, with eight pumping stations, abundant parking, easy entry and exit, and more than 4,000 square feet of Red Apple store space. Peter Conley, vice president of retail marketing for United Refining Company, which
owns Kwik Fill/Red Apple (as well as the Country Fair and Keystone brands), is especially pleased with the popularity of Red Apple’s Food Express, the company’s fresh food service. Food Express offers an extensive menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner options to go or to be enjoyed in their comfortable seating area. The menu includes freshly made breakfast sandwiches, a wide variety of pizza selections and freshly made salads, subs, wraps and melts. There’s a
large selection of flavored coffees, flavored waters and soft drinks, as well as healthful energy drinks, frozen milkshakes, smoothies and frozen cappuccinos blended by the customer in a specially designed machine using real ice cream, milk, fruit and coffee. The Beer Cave, which has been open since January, offers a great selection of craft beers, along with many popular brands in six, 12 and 30 packs. Plus, there’s a larger assortment of candy, snacks, grocery and household item, as well as automotive supplies, an ATM, restrooms and other services. Watch for Red Apple’s great special prices and sales each month, too. Coupons and promotions are available online at www.kwikfill.com, as well as in stores. Plus, customers can pick up a Kwik Fill express card and receive their seventh pizza, sub or wrap free. Food service hours are Sunday–Thursday 6 a.m.–11 p.m., and Friday–Saturday 6 a.m.–1 a.m.

The “A” team travelled to Stratton, Vt., to compete in the Eastern Championships of the Eastern Championship Series from. Feb. 22–24, while the “B” team was at HoliMont for a mogul and two aerial events. Along with this, invitations were posted for both Jr. Nationals and the NY-PA State Championships.

With strong results in dual mogul competitions this year, Adam also qualified for this event at Jr. Nationals. Stratton Mountain hosted Eastern Championships Feb. 22–24 and our team had some great results. The single mogul event was highlighted with an 8th place finish from Matt DiDonato and a 9th place finish from his brother Nick. Sunday had Adam Zuckerman advance to the round of eight in
the dual mogul event. When all was done, Adam finished the event in 8th. The Eastern Championship Series yearend awards banquet was held on Saturday, Feb. 23. Awards were presented to men and women in the area of most improved, MVP and rookie of the year. This year the Rookie of the Year was presented to Matt DiDonato. This award is given to the athlete who ranks the highest in points of all first year “A” competitors.
HoliMont hosted a mogul event that finished with seven team members finishing in the top 10. For the girls, Ashlee Schuman finished 5th followed by Erika Knorr 6th, Sage Rifkin 8th and Morghan Socha 10th. For the boys, Connor O’Leary was 2nd, Mike McCrone 5th and Gavin Goodin 10th.

Nannen Arboretum Society Cont. from Front Page
board and society on how to obtain that status as quickly as possible. Financially, the Arboretum will retain all of its current funds and will continue to accept donations. The Arboretum will be able to seek grant funding, as well. Property Maintenance Mayor Charlie Coolidge informed the committee that the village will take over plowing and mowing the property, and Burrell said that the town Department of Public Works plans to repave the parking lot. The group discussed processes to get work done that is beyond the ability of the Arboretum Society. Burrell said some
of that work would need to be contracted out and that decisions on these issues will have to be made on a case-bycase basis. The last topic brought up for the Arboretum Society to consider was the possibility of locating part of the proposed recreational trail along or through part of the Arboretum. The Society welcomed the idea and said it will look forward to seeing plans when they become available. Building Renovations and Management Burrell shared a draft plan for the building that would include renovation of about 800 square feet of space for the
Town and Village Courts. This plan depends to a great extent on authorization by the region’s court system, which would need to redirect funds originally intended to make the Town Hall ADA accessible and instead use them for renovations at the Extension Service Building. Renovations may also include upgrades to the restrooms, lighting and appliances, along with reconfiguration of the auditorium, interior painting and other cosmetic fixes. The town board hopes that, with these renovations, the building will be more appealing for weddings, special events and other revenue generating functions, as well as tenants.
