Something for Everyone at EVL’s Terrain Parks By Alicia Dziak
Is getting some air between you and the slopes your idea of a perfect day? Then EVL’s resorts won’t disappoint. With a variety of terrain parks to choose from, snowboarders and freeriders can flip, twirl, jump and fly their way into adventure. Holiday Valley offers five terrain parks that are open to everyone and in a recent SKI Magazine Reader Resort Survey their terrain parks were voted 7th in the East. According to Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s marketing director, “We aren’t going for ‘bigger is better’ parks, rather we’re ‘right sizing’ the parks for the guests who ski and ride here.” As of now, two terrain parks geared toward intermediate riders are open: The Rail Park at the base of Mardi Gras; and Fiddler’s Elbow, which had automated snowmaking added this season. If Mother Nature cooperates, the other three parks will be open for the season soon. “The parks require extra snow for takeoffs and landings so they’ve been tough to get going this year!” Eshbaugh noted. For those starting out, introductory (beginner) features are on the east side of School Haus and in the Riglet Park, both located by Creekside Lodge. The area to the east of School Haus is the Progression Park and Terrain Garden with introductory level smaller boxes, rails and snow features. It is a great place to learn how to use terrain features and a place to just

From Jan. 22 to 24, all of the regular watering holes in Ellicottville will be chock full of bands to bring that winter spell to an end.

connoisseurs in Ellicottville a chance to whet their palate with brews from all over the region. “We have always offered some of the best music in the top venues of Ellicottville, but this allows us to bring in a new dimension to what makes Ellicottville the place to be,” Chamber of Commerce executive director Brian McFadden said. “The Buffalo Niagara Brewers Association is the perfect partner to give us the chance to bring new tastes to the area. Great blues music, paired with some of the best local craft beers. What could be better?” See Blues and Brews page 2

Village Board Weighs in on Casino Shuttle By Jann Wiswall
Ellicottville visitors and residents may have noticed that a new shuttle service between the Seneca Allegany Casino and Ellicottville began operating after the first of the year. Currently, it operates every two hours on Fri.-Sun. beginning at 4 p.m. It plans
to continue throughout the ski season. Casino representative Chuck Kilroy and Villaggio restaurant owner Nick Pitillo attended the Village Board meeting on Jan. 11 to describe the service and request installation of “Shuttle Stop” signs at four locations in Ellicottville – in front of
Villaggio, EBC and the Armor Inn and at the Wildflower development off Rt. 219 near Holiday Valley. Some board members said they had heard complaints from some business owners that the shuttle would take visitors away from Ellicottville. In See Village Board page 11

Q&A: Should I Feel Sore?
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
I get asked a lot of great questions in my line of work, some of which I thought I would share with my readers in an effort to answer them for more than just my clients.
Since I promote strength training, (which can often create muscle soreness) I am often asked: “If I am not sore after a workout, does this mean I am not working out hard enough or am doing something wrong?” I know it’s rude to answer a question with a question, but I typically respond with, “How do you feel after your workouts? Do you feel stronger, healthier and better overall?” If you say yes to any of those things, then your workouts are providing you with benefits that are more important than feeling sore.
However, if soreness is what you are seeking, then I will advise that you try adding more weight to your current movements so that you reach failure in the eight to ten repetitions range. Now, add volume to your workouts, for example add more sets per movement and more cardio to your circuits. If that does not give you the results you seek, change up your exercises and your sequencing across the board. Just remember, soreness does not equate with a great workout. How you feel overall after the workout is way more important than feeling sore.
facebook.com/TheEllicottvilleTimes Dave and His Usual Gang of Idiots
Wet Snow is Great Snow By Dave Potter
Last Saturday, I managed to get a couple of the Usual Gang of Idiots to agree to meet me for some skiing at Holiday Valley even though the forecast promised rain. I promised them two things: The snow is great in the rain and the resort isn’t usually crowded in the rain. I did tell them that the only drawback was, well, you’re skiing in the rain, but since I had skied earlier in the week, I knew that the Holiday Valley Mountain Crew had put forth a Herculean effort. They had good coverage on the major trails and the conditions were great. We arrived at our usual early time and our gathering spot was devoid of the regulars. They were replaced by an assortment of ski racers. It turns out that the Valley had two races going on that
day. I can only surmise that at least one of the races was moved to the Valley as it was one of the only places in the East that had more than one slope open and enough snow depth to race on. At 8:30 a.m., we started up the hill in a light mist. Getting wet was not on our minds, as ski gear has evolved to the point that this is not an issue. At the top of the mountain, we pushed off and it was just as I predicted — the snow was plentiful, the coverage was great and ice was nonexistent. We also had most of the area to ourselves. The racers were confined to the race hill, and it turns out that very few people know that skiing in the rain is a good thing. At least, I think it is. We skied Tannenbaum to Sunrise and everything in between. All the slopes were
“Idiot” approved. Plus, the rain stopped as the morning wore on. We were actually dry by the time it was burger and beer time. As we were enjoying our lunch, everyone from the server to the bar patrons asked us if we had skied that morning, and if we did, was it any good. Part of me was tempted to lie about the conditions. I didn’t want more people filling up our “personal” resort. But another part of me wanted to brag that we were smarter than them, that we knew that the conditions would be great. Of course, the bragging part of me won out. Now I’m afraid the next time Mother Nature throws in some rain, there may be a few more skiers joining us “Idiots” on the slopes.
Planning Board Sets Public Hearing for New Pizza Restaurant By Jann Wiswall
On Tuesday, Jan. 12, the Village Planning Board set a public hearing to allow comment on a special use permit application for a proposed new brick-oven pizza restaurant at 21 Monroe Street. The public hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9. The proposed restaurant, located in the former laundromat building, will be called Monroe Street Brick & Brew. It will have 512 square feet of space with seating for
20 patrons and two reserved parking spaces for employees. The planning board also reviewed and approved the submitted architectural design plans for the restaurant, which calls for installation of two fixed windows on either side of the front door. The owners have applied for a liquor license to allow them to serve craft beer and wine. The board will review signage designs at its next meeting. In other business, the planning board held a public
hearing on the special use permit application for 26-28 Washington Street to allow short-term, seasonal rentals of second floor apartments in the newly renovated building owned by Ed and Maribeth Rick. There were no comments from the public and the board approved the application. The Ricks noted that apartments also are available for long-term lease. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 5:30 p.m. in the village/town hall.

Ellicottville Indoor Golf Studio Celebrates First Anniv.
Golfers rejoice! Even though it may be cold and snowy outside, conditions are always perfect for a round at the Ellicottville Indoor Golf Studio. Whether golfers are interested in honing their skills with owner/golf pro Jake Northrup, experiencing one of 88 golf courses from around the world, or practicing that swing before spring arrives, the Ellicottville Indoor Golf Studio is the place to be this winter. Even though Northrup’s studio is new to Ellicottville (the studio celebrates its one year anniversary next month), Northrup is far from new to the sport. Having just completed his third year as the PGA Head Golf Professional at the Pennhills Club in Bradford, PA, Northrup understands the importance of maintaining one’s golf skills throughout the year. “I opened this facility first off to be able to keep my own game sharp and teach my two young children the sport in the winter months, while offering an opportunity to teach my students golf year ‘round,” explained Northrup. While some golfers are fortunate enough to enjoy the sport outdoors all year long, others, especially golfers in the northeast, depend on a simulated golf experience to practice in the winter. Although Northrup had never played golf on a simulator before opening his business, he quickly realized what an important facility this is to the area, especially since there are very few indoor golf studios in the Twin Tiers, or even in the Buffalo area.
“Ellicottville and Holiday Valley bring in a lot of outdoorminded, athletic visitors already. A lot of them are golfers in the summer months, and I felt this would be just another cool thing to do during their stay in the winter.” In November 2014, Northrup began designing and building his studio, which occupies a former diesel garage. Northrup himself designed and built the hitting area and the 10 by 15 foot wide impact screen. Steve Beattie of Custom Turf installed the turf over 1,200 square feet of the studio. According to Northrup, “The indoor golf studio is specifically designed to offer a space for golf in the winter months while utilizing PGA professional golf instruction using the latest Flightscope launch monitor, high speed video analysis and the best in high definition E6 1.6 golf course simulation for rounds of golf.” The E6 software is the best golf software in the industry, and is even used by world champion golfer Jordan Spieth to practice his game during the off-season, Northrup added. The facility includes a 20 by 15 foot practice putting green. And, golfers can choose from any of 88 golf courses around the world for a simulated
golf experience for up to four players. Golfers should estimate approximately one hour per golfer playing 18 holes (2 players would spend approximately 2 hours for 18 holes). Derek Nelson of Smethport, PA, has been golfing at Northrup’s studio since it opened. “It’s really the same experience as golfing outside, just without walking the course or using a golf cart. It’s about as close to the real thing as you can get, and if you keep playing, you’re going to get better.” When asked about the transition from the indoor course to the outdoors this past summer, Nelson remarked on the smooth transition. “My game was definitely better…it wasn’t rusty, like it normally would be coming off the winter months.” Northrup’s studio is open from November through April. Because the facility does not keep regular hours, reservations for instruction and rounds of golf must be made in advance. Reservations can be made by contacting Northrup at (516)712-5941 or jakenorthrup1@gmail.com. For reviews, rates, and videos, visit Ellicottville Indoor Golf Studio on Facebook.

relax and have some fun. Moonshadow remains as the boardercross course. “Moonshadow is really popular because all kinds of skiers and riders can have fun in it going around the banked curves and over the rollers,” Eshbaugh explained. Foxfire is the most challenging park with jumps and rails and this season has been widened at the top and will share the lower section with NASTAR. “Skiers and riders like the flow that the parks have thanks to Chris Perks and his knowledge in building
great parks,” said Holiday Valley’s terrain parks manager Mike Nenno. “Chris has been working the last month building a bunch of new rails and boxes that I think most will enjoy. We have a couple of them out in the two parks that are open and a few more to add as we continue to build and add terrain parks.” Upcoming terrain park events at Holiday Valley include USASA Boardercross events on Jan. 30-31 and NorAM Snowboard Races Feb. 21-23. Those heading to HoliMont can also have their pick of
unique features to show off their skills. The Half Moon park is the beginner park and consists of smaller features that help kids get used to sliding on boxes and getting a little bit of air. Wild Thing has an array of features that range from entry level boxes to more advanced rainbow rails, C-Boxes and flat-down-flat rails. A jump line underneath the top section of the Sunset lift that has a small jump, medium sized jump and a bigger jump to finish it off. After the jumps, the terrain park opens up into a section filled with some supercool features, including the famous Volkswagen Bug box. If the Sunset Chair Lift is open, the terrain park is open. Whether you’re a newbie or a frequent flyer in the terrain parks, you’re sure to find out that hours of fun await you at Ellicottville’s resorts.

Lids on Kids Continued from front page
head injuries are no exception. No matter how well and controlled you ski and board, unpredictable things can happen in a split second, leading to an unexpected fall. That’s when a good helmet is worth its weight in gold, potentially saving you from a serious brain injury. With new statistics about concussions and their long-term effects, wearing a helmet just makes good sense. Teaching slope and helmet safety, as well as etiquette (which is ultimately about safety), should begin when kids are young and ďŹ rst getting into snowsports, and January is the perfect time to brush up on the guidelines during Safety Awareness Month (SAM). Holiday Valley is joining resorts across the country to raise awareness of safety on the slopes with fun events and activities for skiers and riders of all ages. While Holiday Valley does not require guests to wear helmets, “During Safety Awareness Month, the Safety Patrol is conducting helmet education on the slopes for our younger guests, helping to correctly size helmets and (demonstrate) how to wear them properly,â€? said Jane Eshbaugh, marketing director at Holiday Valley. Special emphasis will be placed on safety and the Responsibility Code, which you can ďŹ nd at http://www. holidayvalley.com/winter/ safety/safety-awareness. A Growing Trend Last ski season, 78 percent of all U.S. skiers and snowboarders wore helmets, setting yet another record for helmet usage at ski areas across the United States, according to a recent National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) study. The study also states
that 85 percent of skiers and snowboarders ages 17 and under wore helmets during the past season, and 97 percent of children ages 9 and under wore them. NSAA credits resorts, parents and local medical groups for encouraging helmet use. It also credits helmet manufacturers who have made helmets stylish and comfortable. However, helmets are not the perfect panacea. Studies show that, when snow enthusiasts are traveling more than 12 to 14 miles per hour, helmets do not protect against serious head injury as well. So, don’t let a helmet give you a false sense of security. Ski and board as if you’re not wearing a helmet and keep yourself safe.â€? For more safety information and a kids’ quiz, go to www. LidsOnKids.org. Now that you’ve read the statistics, check out resort and village ski shops for stylish, functional, lightweight, warm and cost-effective helmets for the whole family. Some come equipped with audio compatibility for some jammin’ iPod tunes, easy-toopen ventilation slots, goggle holder straps, goggle vents to eliminate fog, mesh liners and more. You may ďŹ nd one for as little as $50, or you can rent helmets in the High Performance Shop on the lower level of the Main Lodge and in Creekside Lodge at Holiday Valley. Fit It! Human heads come in all shapes and sizes, therefore, helmets do too. Sizing differs between manufacturers, so try on as many helmets as you can to ďŹ nd the perfect ďŹ t. The ultimate goal is to ďŹ nd a helmet that ďŹ ts correctly, because without proper ďŹ t, it just becomes a fancy hat —
and you know how well that protects you. Have a store clerk help you ďŹ nd your size by measuring the circumference of your head above the ears approximately two ďŹ nger widths above your eyebrows. The right helmet should sit ďŹ rmly and squarely on your head with even pressure all around your head. For sizing charts, tips to consider and FAQs, visit www. lidsonkids.org. Never try to save money by buying a helmet that’s a little big so your child can grow into it. It has to ďŹ t now. And remember to bring your goggles to ensure they are compatible with the helmet you choose. Dave Doty, a 10-year Safety Patrol member at Holiday Valley and Cattaraugus-Little Valley school ski club advisor, said, “While patrolling, I have seen people fall, and without a helmet I’m sure they would have been injured,â€? said Doty, who has also witnessed students taking spills, resulting in concussion even while wearing a helmet. “It would have been much worse without one.â€? One last important tip: Do not continue wearing a helmet after it has been damaged. Once it’s absorbed an impact, becomes cracked or defective in any way, stop using it immediately and purchase a new one. You only have one brain to last you a lifetime.

The Alpine Ski Team athletes at Holiday Valley and HoliMont have been hard at work trying to make up for the lackluster start of winter. Last weekend the two resorts kicked off the U16/U19/ U21 season with two races: Saturday a slalom competition at Holiday Valley and Sunday a Giant Slalom competition at HoliMont. This age group competes against athletes from Central and Western New York. Saturday brought much success for the Holiday Valley Ski Team women. Anya Elizondo (U16 & overall) took home the gold. Right behind her, Devynn Martin placed 3rd (U16) and 5th overall. Katrina Surdyka placed 5th (U21) and 8th overall. The rest of the U16 girls had a strong showing with Candice Kasahara ďŹ nishing 5th (12th overall), Paige Duffy 6th (16th) and Mckenzie Galvin 15th (35th). The Holiday Valley Men also took gold both overall and in their age class. Nathan Briselden (U16) outskied the whole ďŹ eld with a wondrous 1.21 second win. Michael Mercer ďŹ nished close
behind at 4th (7th overall). HoliMont’s Carson Foxcroft placed 2nd out of the U16 ďŹ eld and 3rd overall. Rounding out the day for U16 men, Joshua Allegra ďŹ nished 9th (18th overall), Evan Grucela 13th (23rd), Christian Taylor 16th (27th), Ben Wise 18th (31st), Sean Nolan 25th (39th) and Jes Sauereisen 28th (42nd). Holiday Valley’s U19 & U21 men also had a great day with Ben Finicle ďŹ nishing 4th (8th overall), Nick Costanzo 8th (13th) and Eric Schafer 12th (28th). On Sunday, pouring rain put a damper on the race, but not on the athletes. The Holiday Valley U16 team pushed through to take three of the six overall podium spots. Devynn Martin was the fastest female on the day, Nathan Briselden continued Saturday’s success winning yet again and Max Carbaugh ďŹ nished 2nd overall.

The HoliMont U16 women also had a great day, putting seven girls through the ďŹ nish line. The best result was from Zoe Knauss, who ďŹ nished 8th (15th overall). Following her was Andee Berberich placing 10th (20th overall), Brogan Cairns 12th (24th) and Rachel Green 14th (26th). HoliMont’s U19 women had an impressive day as well. Sophia Richards took 3rd (21st overall), Logan Humiston 20th (45th) and Kylie Raguso rounded out the team with a 26th (59th). Holiday Valley’s Katrina Surdyka (U19) ďŹ nished 9th (17th overall). On the men’s side, Holiday Valley’s U16 team dominated. After Briselden’s and Carbaugh’s ďŹ rst and second place ďŹ nishes respectively, Michael Mercer ďŹ nished the day in 6th (14th overall), Joshua Allegra 10th (23rd), Evan Grucela 17th (33rd), Christian Taylor 24th (39th), Sean Nolan 25th (39th), Jes Sauereisen 28th (42nd) and Ben Wise 27th (44th). HoliMont’s U16 men had a better showing on Sunday: Gage Thibodeau ďŹ nished 4th (8th overall), Andrew Mangan 7th (15th), Carlo Muscarella 15th (31st) Ethan Richards 18th (34th) and Nicholas Scott 20th (36th). The Holiday Valley U19/ U21 men had a good Sunday at HoliMont with Nick Costanzo 6th (11th overall) Ben Finicle 13th (22nd) and Eric Schafer 17th (41st). “With the season now going full steam, we look forward to great things from our young athletes,â€? said Connor Kell, who coaches both men and woman at all age levels at Holiday Valley. “Whether on or off the hill, they are a driven group of kids who love skiing in Ellicottville!â€? Holiday Valley’s U16 Coach John Galvin noted that “This weekend was outstanding! One of the many positives is how well our U16 athletes skied with the older U19/U21 athletes.â€? And, he added, “A lot of the athletes are already set up to achieve their season goals!â€?

Alpine Advice from the Pro
Did You Know? There Is a Code!
By Ron Kubicki PSIA/AASI Certified Level III Alpine, Children’s Specialist II
There are times when skiing is a unique and solo experience. That might be when you are skinning up the mountain in the early morning dark on your Tele equipment, or gliding along a cross-country trail in the pristine woods. That’s when it is only you in the outdoors and in your thoughts, and it can be a very spiritual experience. But, our typical reality is sharing the lifts, slopes and terrain with scores of other skiers and riders, and it’s hardly spiritual. Downhill skiing includes elements of speed, turning, slowing and stopping. These are decisions you make constantly on every run down the slope. But at ski and board resorts, courtesy, respect and safety also need to be a constant consideration.
Your safety and the safety of those around you is affected by how everyone interacts on the slopes. You can easily relate this to driving your SUV to the resort, in traffic, where there are laws for us to follow to keep us safe. With this in mind you may see the following code posted around resorts and ski shops. Take the time to read it and share with your family. 1. Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects. 2. People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them. 3. You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above. 4. Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others. 5. Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment. 6. Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas. 7. Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely. If you take the time to read these and familiarize yourself you will see they are basically just common sense. Spend time reviewing the code with your kids on the way to the
slopes; it can only help to keep them safer. With this being Martin Luther King weekend, there are likely to be quite a few people on the slopes. The weather has certainly turned and our local snowmakers have done an incredible job opening up terrain, but it is still likely to be somewhat limited, so it wouldn’t hurt to keep these in mind. While we know not everyone is aware nor will pay heed, if just a few more do then we are all that much safer and able to have more fun on the slopes. Sometime, try to catch a ride on the lift with one of the local instructors and discuss the code with them. It is part of their training and they can certainly relate some real-life experiences regarding these “rules of the road.” These pros keep them in mind every moment of every lesson they lead, as they are always responsible for the activities of their class. So take a moment to read these and think about how they relate to you and your family’s experience on snow. Ski and ride safely this weekend and every time you are on-snow. As always, I look forward to seeing you on the slopes!

GV Board Making Long-Term Plans By Colleen Mahoney
The Town of Great Valley’s Board held discussions on the long-term future of the town at their Jan. 11 meeting. The town’s comprehensive plan is in need of an update and Town Supervisor Dan Brown would like to explore creating a municipal sewer system along the Route 219 corridor. In New York, towns are supposed to update their comprehensive plans every 10 years. Great Valley’s plan is almost 9 years old. Brown would like to use the occasion of an update to reach out to residents and listen to their vision for the town. “The comprehensive plan is the future of the town, so residents should be involved,” Brown said. The feasibility of creating a municipal sewer system to help generate development also was discussed. Brown pointed out that Great Valley is in a great location relative to Ellicottville and the town should capitalize on that. “We have potential … people go through Great Valley to get to Ellicottville … but we have nothing to offer them,” Brown
said. “A sewer system would allow for more development on a smaller scale.” Currently, developers would need to make room for sewer and water along Route 219. Brown envisions a boost in development if the town can provide one of those resources. By providing a sewer system, Brown anticipates that builders could develop on less land, allowing for the town to maintain its “open spaces.” A developer could use about onethird of the land needed now, for the same purpose, Brown explained. Brown, again, requested the public’s input. “I don’t feel like venturing down this road if no one supports it,” Brown said. “We need public input and public support.” Both the discussion on the comprehensive plan and municipal sewer system will be ongoing, Brown said. He also hopes the board will explore the possibility of commercial solar energy. In other business, the board officially combined the zoning board of appeals and the planning board into one entity,
and its appointed members. The following people were appointed: Steve Ward, Rick Howard, Don Roll and Al Pucz as members; Christopher Schena as chairperson; and Amy DeTine and Jeff Ramsten as alternates. The combined board will meet the second Wednesday of each month. The town board also reported that area dog kennels passed USDA inspections and kennel space can now be rented to the towns of Humphrey and Salamanca. Help was requested from anyone who would like to plan the town’s 200 year anniversary in 2018, and a brief discussion was held on updating the town hall’s table and chairs and remodeling the hallway to improve wheelchair accessibility. The meeting was held in recognition of outgoing county legislator Carl Edwards. Brown said Edwards has worked very hard for the town of Great Valley. The next Town of Great Valley Board meeting will be held on Monday, Feb. 8, at 7 p.m. The public is welcome.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Furiously Happy’ by Jenny Lawson In Furiously Happy, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best. Furiously Happy is about “taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they’re the same moments we take into battle with us when our brains declare war on our very existence. It’s the difference between ‘surviving life’ and ‘living life.’ It’s the difference between “’taking a shower’ and ‘teaching your monkey butler how to shampoo your hair.’ It’s the difference between being ‘sane’ and being ‘furiously happy.’ Lawson is beloved around the world for her inimitable humor and honesty, and in Furiously Happy, she is at her snort-inducing funniest. This is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways. Because as Jenny’s mom says, “Maybe ‘crazy’ isn’t so bad after all.” Sometimes crazy is just right. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access more than 13,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Peter F. McCoy III 1950-2016
Peter F. McCoy III, 65, died New Year’s Day (Jan. 1, 2016) at the Bradford Manor, where he resided for the past several weeks. A 13-year cancer survivor, he fought a valiant and courageous battle with nonHodgkin lymphoma and leukemia. A lifelong Bradford resident, he was born June 15, 1950, son of the late Peter F. McCoy Jr., who died in 1977, and Dorothea B. McCoy, who died in 2008. A 1968 graduate of Bradford Area High School, Peter also graduated from St. Bonaventure University, earning both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. He enjoyed a 27-year teaching career at Ellicottville (N.Y.) Central School, retiring in 2002 due to disability. Prior
to his illness, he was also a partner with his mother in the operation of 12 apartments in five buildings in the Bradford area. Peter was an avid sailor and crewed many summers in 20foot class one-design sailboat races at Chautauqua Lake. He once camped and canoed the length of the Allegheny River from the headwaters to Pittsburgh. His newest enjoyment was riding his CanAm motorcycle. He was a lifelong member of St. Bernard’s Roman Catholic Church and a member of the Bradford Township Lion’s Club. A very generous man who put the welfare of others ahead of himself, Peter once voluntarily paid out thousands of dollars for a full set of dentures for a person he saw struggling to eat at the Friendship Table. Peter’s generosity was taken advantage of at times, but he never lost faith in humanity. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters, Mary Janice McCarthy in 1996 and Martha Lou Bouchard in 2009; and a brother-in-law, Robert Lee Rocheleau in 2007. Survivors include a sister, Virginia Rocheleau of San Diego; a brother, Michael
(Diane) McCoy of Mayville, N.Y.; two brothers-in-law, Marcian (Cheryl) Bouchard of Washington, N.C., and Terrence McCarthy of Bay Village, Ohio; eight nieces and nephews; and many grandnieces and grandnephews. Survivors also include his good friends Gisele Magnella, Peter Peckyno, John Coder, Rick Frederick, Gary Bentley and Dan Costello, who faithfully drove him to his chemo and treatments; and all his many friends at Derrick City Diner who supported him to the end. There will be no visitation. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Saturday (Jan. 16, 2016) at St. Bernard Catholic Church, Bradford, with the Rev. Raymond Gramata as celebrant. Inurnment is to immediately follow at St. Bernard Cemetery, Bradford. Memorial gifts, if desired, may be made to St. Bernard Elementary & Middle School, 450 W. Washington St, Bradford, PA 16701. Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Mascho Funeral Home Inc., Bradford. Online condolences may be expressed at www. maschofuneral.com.

SGI Board Appoints Moritz as Superintendent The Springville Griffith Institute (SGI) Board of Education is pleased to announce the appointment of Kimberly Moritz as its next Superintendent of Schools. Moritz is currently serving as the Superintendent for the Randolph Central School District and has held that position since October,2008. She will take the helm in Springville on March 7. “Our students, our staff and our broader community are going to benefit from tonight’s appointment,” said Board President Allison Duwe. “In Kim Moritz, SGI will have the ethical, effective and engaged leader that it needs and deserves; a passionate individual with the ability to guide our District to a brighter future.” Moritz began her career in education in 1990 and will bring to SGI experience as a talented and skilled administrator, high school and middle school principal, and as a classroom teacher. Moritz’ career has been focused on increasing student achievement in the school communities she has served. In collaboration with teachers, parents and administrators, she effectively supported the roll-out of the Common Core Learning
Standards at Randolph, raised achievement levels and increased opportunities for students. “During my time in Randolph, the entire school community has worked hard to provide our students with the very best educational programs possible. We have worked together to develop a comprehensive, coherent instructional program in which we support every student. Our athletic and extra-curricular opportunities are outstanding, our school climate is positive, and our financial position is strong,” said Moritz. “I am going to miss everyone at Randolph dearly, but I am ready for a new challenge. I believe that I can help make Springville an even better school district.” The Springville Board of Education conducted an extensive search for a Superintendent. The Board requested the services of the Office of the District Superintendent for the Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES to fill the leadership post. Dr. David O’Rourke served as the Board’s search consultant and worked with the Board on all aspects of the search. O’Rourke said, “Springville has a high quality school system
with an experienced Board of Education and committed administration, faculty and staff who care deeply about their students. Kim Moritz is a bright, accomplished, and skilled educational leader. I am looking forward to working with Kim as she takes on this new leadership position at Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District.” Moritz earned her Bachelor’s degree in Arts and Humanities Education from Gannon University in May 1985; her Master’s degree in Curriculum & Instruction from the SUNY at Fredonia in 1994 and her Certificate of Advanced Study in Educational Administration from SUNY Fredonia in 2001. She maintains memberships in numerous professional organizations and currently serves on the New York State Council of School Superintendents House of Delegates and the Commissioner’s Advisory Council. Though appointed by the Board at its January 5 meeting, Moritz will not begin service in the District until March 7. Until that point, Sylvia Root will continue to serve as SGI’s Interim Superintendent of Schools.
Village Board Continued from front page
fact, Kilroy and Pitillo argued, it does the opposite, bringing far more casino patrons to Ellicottville than taking them to Salamanca. Kilroy said casino guests already come to Ellicottville regularly for skiing, shopping, dining and other activities. The shuttle, he said, simply gets them to the Village without their cars. Both Kilroy and Pitillo remarked that the shuttle is one way to alleviate the Village’s persistent parking issues. The Board agreed with that sentiment. Board members questioned the need for multiple shuttle stop locations. “Wouldn’t one shuttle stop be enough?” a board member asked, noting that doubleparking on the Village’s narrow streets to pick up and drop off guests is out of the question. A few less-congested locations were suggested and Kilroy said he had spoken with Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Brian McFadden about finding a single location for a shuttle stop. Pitillo, who said he was not representing any other restaurant or business owners by being at the meeting, said he would prefer to have a stop in front of his restaurant for obvious reasons.
Board members, however, reported that they had heard complaints about stops in front of some businesses and not others. All agreed that stops at even more locations would not be practical, and that a more neutral location might be a better option. The board also was concerned about more signs in the village. Kilroy indicated that any signs would be small, but were necessary for communication. In the end, the board suggested that Kilroy continue discussions with McFadden about a single stop and talk directly with every business owner to explain the shuttle’s benefits to the Village. Ongoing Business The board has been wrestling with problems associated with improper trash disposal, as people continue to place trash bags or cans without lids on the curb after trash day, inviting vermin to strew the bags’ contents all week long. To make matters worse, the white plastic trash bags many people use get plowed under and lost in the snow. The board is preparing to require residents to use heavyduty totes to manage the problem. This would require that the board set aside funds to purchase the totes in the 2016 budget. It also would add
a small quarterly fee ($3-4) to residents’ trash bills. Mayor Charlie Coolidge was asked to come up with a detailed summary of costs and procedures for administering the program and present that to the board at its February meeting. A public hearing will be scheduled as soon as details are worked out. Coolidge reported that a meeting has been scheduled for Feb. 2 with the Village Planning Board to discuss regulating the number of sandwich-board signs permitted on Village Streets. In other business, Nussbaumer & Clarke engineer Nick Dobmeier, sitting in for village engineer Mike Smith, reported that construction on the new wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is 75 percent complete, thanks to favorable weather conditions through December. Both electrical and general contractors are “making good headway,” he said. Finally, the board reviewed two bids for a one-ton truck with plow and authorized Department of Public Works head Harold Morton to purchase from the low bidder. The next meeting of the Village Board will be held on Monday, February 8 in the village/town hall at 6 p.m.

Guinness Record-Breaking Attempt Draws Thousands More than 160 ski and snowboard resorts across the country participated in last Friday’s attempt to set a Guinness record for the World’s Largest Ski and Snowboard Lesson (WLL). At Holiday Valley, 50 people took advantage of the WLL challenge on Jan. 8 with a free beginner lesson. Organizers estimate that “thousands” of children and adults throughout the U.S. took a beginner lesson at 10 a.m. local time as part of the effort. The WLL was the unofficial kick-off for Learn to Ski and Snowboard Month, an annual event coordinated by the snow sports industry to create awareness for learning how to ski or snowboard. Participation numbers from each time zone are being sent to the Guinness organization in Great Britain for verification and the official total will be announced when it is available. If you missed this opportunity, there’s still time to cash in on great “Learn a Snowsport Month” deals at Holiday Valley. Visit www.holidayvalley.com.

XC Trails at HV The cross country trails along the top ridgeline of Holiday Valley and around the golf course at the bottom of the mountain are generally packed by snowmobile and if weather permits the lower trails are trackset. The trails on top are open until 3 p.m. and we recommend intermediate skills. You can buy a 2-ride cross country ticket for the Mardi Gras, Cindy’s or Tannenbaum lift for $12. You can either ride the Mardi Gras or Tannenbaum chair back down, or ski down one of the easier trails (Tannenbaum or Explorer/Day’s End recommended). The easier trails along the golf course at the base of the mountain are open during daylight hours and we have solar lights for a nighttime ski on the golf course, but be sure to stay away from the ponds that are used for snowmaking. (they’re marked with a rope) Cross country rental skis, boots and poles are $18 per day. Snowshoeing is also available on the lower slopes and on the golf course, just be sure to stay to the side of the cross country tracks. Snowshoes are available to rent from the High Performance Shop for $18 for 8 hours.
