Ten Things to Do Before the Snow Flies
Upcoming Events November 21-22 Winter Arts Festival Holiday Valley
By Alicia Dziak
Hard to believe, but the holidays are fast approaching. Before you head into the season of wrapping, baking, mailing, festive fun and nonstop activity, take some time to get a few other things crossed off your to-do list. Get Ready to Hit the Slopes There’s lots to do before you head out onto the slopes. Find that hat you threw into the closet at the end of the season last year. If you have kids, have them try on last year’s gear. Do their boots still fit? Do they still have two of those gloves? Make a list and head to the shops in EVL to get great deals on the coolest of everything so you’re ready when the slopes are. On that note, now’s the time to get your ski passes. Choose from a variety of packages and pass options at Holiday Valley. If you’re a college student, the all-new College Season Pass can be purchased for only $299, but only through Dec. 31. HV is scheduled to open later this month, so why wait to purchase your passes when you can start using them as soon as the resort opens? And don’t forget that HoliMont, while open to members only on weekends, is open to the public Monday through Friday (except for Christmas week). If you’re planning a getaway for skiing or riding, book your lodging now for the best selection. EVL has loads of hotels, houses, condos and B&Bs, to suit every need. Beat the Pre-Holiday Shopping Rush As soon as Thanksgiving hits, it’s full speed ahead prepping for Christmas. Why not get a jump on your

Next Challenge: Bishop Kearney Nov. 14
Village Board Wrestles with Vehicle Needs, Trash Issues By Jann Wiswall
As the Village board meeting got started on Monday, Nov. 9, resident Jack Rogan asked about test results from water samples taken several months ago by the Department of Public Works. The samples were taken to try to determine why, after years
of effort and replacement of pipes and mains leading to and inside his home, Rogan’s water filters still quickly turn brown and need bi-weekly or monthly changing. Department of Public Works chief Harold Morton said the water test found only very low levels of iron, indicating the
water is safe. He also explained that he had talked with some experts and was told that water filters typically do turn brown and that Rogan may no longer need to change them so frequently. A copy of the results was given to Rogan, which he said he would review. See Village Board page 7
NY State of Health Open Enrollment thru Jan. 31 By Jann Wiswall
It’s open enrollment season at NY State of Health, so if you don’t have health insurance through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or another source that provides qualifying coverage, the NY State of Health
program can help you get covered. According to its web site, what you pay for insurance depends on your expected income in 2016. Based on the income estimate you put on your application, the health marketplace can tell you if you qualify for a private health
insurance plan or if you qualify for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Keep in mind that even if you don’t qualify for Medicaid, your children may qualify for CHIP. So be sure to look at all your options. The plans available through See Health Enrollment page 7

shopping and snag up the deals now so you can beat the rush? The Winter Arts Festival hits Holiday Valley Nov. 21-22. Check out original paintings, prints, photographs, pottery, jewelry, baskets, wood carving and ďŹ ber arts created by regional ďŹ ne artists and artisans, and ďŹ nd that unique and perfect gift. Or head into the village, where a variety of shops await with a selection of ďŹ ne foods, jewelry, accessories, winter gear and much more. R&R Who doesn’t need a little rest and relaxation before heading into the holiday season, which is usually anything but restful and relaxing. Treat yourself to a massage or pedicure at a local spa. The Ellicottville Salt Cave is celebrating its one year anniversary by holding an open
house on Nov. 21 and 22. There, you can sample appetizers made with Himalayan salt, and check out all they have to offer, including great gift ideas and a free gift with the purchase of a gift certiďŹ cate. Skip the cooking and head to one of the area restaurants to enjoy your pick of cuisine. Even better, take this time do some educational wining and dining. EVL Wine & Spirits is partnering with local restaurants, including Cadillac Jacks on Nov. 13 and Dina’s on Dec. 10, for some wine pairing events. Go Time If R&R just isn’t your thing, take this time to get out and enjoy the last of the fresh fall air. Take advantage of miles of hiking and biking trails (that aren’t yet covered in snow!) in the area, spanning Holiday
Valley and McCarty Hill State Forest. Give Thanks and Give Back The holiday season is a time to reect on all you have and think about about those who don’t have quite as much. Donations don’t need to be in monetary form. Consider volunteering your time or talent. Organize a group to go caroling at a nursing home, make cards for veterans, sign up to help out at a local food pantry, or offer to collect donations of any kind. Planning now will ensure that the giving part of the season is a priority. The snow will be here soon, and winter fun is right around the corner. Carve out some “me timeâ€? in the next few weeks before the holiday season gets you going at full speed.

By Todd Palmatier
The FranklinvilleEllicottville Titans started the Section 6 Class D championship game with a small hiccup as they fumbled the opening kickoff at their own 43 yard line, but their stout defense stopped the Frewsburg Bears to three and out and the Titans never looked back as they marched to a 34-7 win. The Titans scored with 7:48 to go in the 1st quarter as Caleb Rinko raced to a 25 yard touchdown run and the extra point failed. Rinko again answered with an 11-yard run with 1:48 remaining to put the Titans up 12-0 at the end of the 1st. The Bears got back in the game in the beginning of the 2nd quarter as Brady Coliver punched in a 1-yard quarterback keeper to make the score 12-7. The Titans and
Bears went back and forth until the Titans scored on an eightyard pass from QB Tommy “Touchdown” Easton to Dooley Brennan, with a Jonas Hurlburt 2 pt conversion to make the score 20-7. The Titans kept up the scoring into the 4th quarter as Easton called his own number on a 44-yard keeper that he marched into the end zone and then tossed a 2 point conversion to Brennan to make the score 28-7. The Titans rounded out the scoring as Austin Whitmer ran in a 15-yard run to complete the scoring. Rinko led the offensive rushing charge with 107 yards on 16 carries, Easton had 85 yards rushing on seven carries and was 5-8 for 31 yards in the passing department with one TD pass. The Titans defense was led by Austin Grinols, who
recorded two key interceptions and had key tackles to slow the Bears offense to a halt. Preston Hutchison had five tackles and four assists to key the Titans. The Titans play Bishop Kearney in the Far Western Regional Class D Championships on Saturday, Nov. 14 at noon at Sahlen’s Stadium in Rochester. Soccer Teams Stopped at Far West Regionals The Ellicottville Eagles Boys and Girls Varsity soccer teams’ seasons ended in the Far West Regionals over the weekend. The boys lost a hard fought battle 3-2 in a shoot out to Alfred-Almond to end their season in Spencerport on Friday night. The girls lost 2-0 on Saturday to Wheatland-Chili to close out their 2015 season.

Jump Your Way to a Better Body
By Kim Duke NETA & AFAA Certified Trainer
Most of my clients have a desired goal of developing a sculpted body. Not too bulky, just lean and fit. They have come to me since they want a clear way to achieve this goal. I provide them with strength training to build their muscles, and with many of them we train aerobically and anaerobically with light to intense jumpingbased exercises. Commonly known as jump training, plyometrics (or plyos) train tissues to fire more explosively. “Plyos are exercises that emphasize the elastic components of muscles and tendons to facilitate explosive movements,” says Justin Smith, co-director of Athletic Performance at the University of Vermont. “Developing coordination, balance, power, body control and reactivity – all of these can be gained
through even the most basic plyometric exercises.” Think of your muscles like springs. When you add force and compress the coil shape, it absorbs your potential energy. Remove the force and the energy is released, allowing the spring to return to its normal shape, but in a quick, explosive manner. Your muscles work the same way. The connective tissues store elastic energy during the loading phase, such as a squat, and then give you the power to jump as that energy is released. Athletes rely on plyometricbased training to jump higher, be lightning fast on their feet and optimize total athletic performance. But, that does not mean jumping is just for those in the game. On their own, plyometric exercises can help strengthen muscles and burn calories, and all in a relatively quick amount of time since the idea is to keep reps low and the intensity and effort high. The result can lead to a more toned and tighter you without spending all your time in the gym. Start With the Basics Proper technique is essential to eliminate unnecessary fatigue and prevent injury when adding plyometric exercises to your routine. Here are some tips for refining your form:
ECS Sports • Photos Ellicottville Sports Boosters
1. Ski jump stance: Begin in the ski jump alignment position, which involves a good hip hinge forward bend, with your butt back and knees just in front of your toes. Your power comes from your hips, so it’s important that they are properly loaded. 2. Add arms: Your arms help to generate momentum and keep the focus on an upward trajectory. Synchronize the arm swing with the drive off your legs to gain better height. If you are doing it wrong, it will feel awkward. 3. Land lightly: The emphasis of a soft landing is essential to protect your joints and lessen the strain on your body from repeated jumping. If you keep this in mind, you’ll be able to practice jumping and plyometrics without injury. According to Smith, “Adding a dose of plyometrics to an exercise routine – even just one move – can activate neurotransmitters that reside in the feet. These signals help boost metabolism and activate otherwise dormant tissues.” Smith’s advice for recreational athletes and plyo neophytes is twofold. One: warm up before working out; and two (in terms snowsports enthusiasts can relate): “start with green-circle exercises and work up to the more challenging black diamonds.”

Permits Approved by Village Planning Board By Jann Wiswall
The Village Planning Board approved sign permits for Villaggio and E-ville Spirits & Wines during its monthly meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Villaggio owner Nick Pitillo asked the board about stringing lights on the building façade to help draw people’s attention to the restaurant. The planning board noted that all the trees along Washington and Monroe will be lit starting Thanksgiving weekend and throughout the winter season. Board members said that they would reevaluate the request
after the village lighting goes up. However, the board also said its primary responsibility is to avoid setting a precedent about façade lights that it might regret later. The board also considered a special use permit application for Ed and Maribeth Rick, the owners of 26-28 Washington St., to operate five seasonal and long-term rental units on the second floor of the building, which they have recently renovated. Ed Rick said his hope is to rent units for several months or longer in order to avoid wear and tear on the
newly decorated apartments. A public hearing on the special use permit was scheduled for the board’s December meeting. Finally, the board reviewed architectural plans for a twostory accessory garage at 1 Elizabeth St., a private home. The plans were approved with a few conditions, including official confirmation of the new structure’s square footage. The next meeting of the Village Planning Board is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 8 in the village/town hall.

She was born June 9,1933 in MansďŹ eld, NY, the daughter of the late Fred and Elizabeth (Fenton) Green. On June 25, 1949, she married Courtney Bryant who survives. Mrs. Bryant had worked at Motorola in Arcade and also as an Aide at the Salamanca Nursing Home and the Catt. Co. Nursing Home in Machias. Besides her loving husband of 66 years, she is survived by three
sons, Clifford (Dora) Bryant of Great Valley, Michael (Sandy) Bryant of Franklinville and Loyd Hovey of Ellicottville, and three daughters, Jackie (Jack) Phillips of Cattaraugus, Julia Gebauer of Ellicottville and Lisa Weir of Great Valley, a son-in-law Marv Emke of PA, 19 grandchildren, 39 great grandchildren, 10 great great grandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Sandra Grinols, 1944-2015
Sandra Kay Austin Grinols, 71, of Great Valley, died Tuesday (Nov. 3, 2015) at her home, surrounded by her loving family, after ďŹ ghting a long, harsh illness. Born on July 18, 1944, in Bradford, Pa., she was a daughter of the late Clarence and Mary Austin. Sandy graduated from Bradford High School, Class of 1962. She had been employed at Walmart for 20 years as a very valued employee. Previously, she was employed by Fisher Big Wheel and Bells Supermarket for 17 years. Sandy was a very hard worker, sometimes working three jobs, but always ďŹ nding time for family. She was a trusted friend and conďŹ dante, but her main passion was for her kids and grandchildren. She never missed a game, even if she didn’t feel well. She went right up until the end
with oxygen hooked up in her car. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Each of them had a very special bond with her they will always carry with them. She was an avid fan of football and the Buffalo Bills. Her hobbies were attending the many games and activities of her grandchildren, watching game shows, cooking and making special treats for her large family. She put on huge dinners for all of the holidays and loved playing spoons and cards with the family. Sandy was a loving, caring, kind woman who made an impact on many lives with her kind words, actions and comical sense of humor. She will be greatly missed. Surviving are a daughter, Tammy Hamilton of Great Valley; two sons, Charlie (Tammy Jo) Grinols and Tim (Debbie) Grinols, both of Great
Valley; seven grandchildren, Cassandra Grinols, Taylor Grinols, Janae Hamilton, Marissa Hamilton, Austin Grinols, Jordan Grinols and Logan Grinols; two sisters, Nancy (Walt) Keck of Austin, PA, and Donna Davis of Franklin, PA; a brother, David Austin of Pittsburgh; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by a sister, Carol Ann Harrison. A celebration of life was held Sunday, Nov. 8 in the Great Valley Firemen’s Clubhouse with the Rev. Stan Scoville, hospice chaplain, ofďŹ ciating. The family suggests memorials be made to HomeCare & Hospice, 1225 W. State St., Olean, NY 14760; or the American Lung Association. E-condolences may be sent to john@orourke-orourke.com or posted to facebook.com/onofh.
Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick with daughter Christina
With a vast number of fees, regulations, time constraints and safety concerns, it certainly can be “ruffâ€? adding your pet to your travel plans. As a veterinarian in an international resort community, I have seen ďŹ rst-hand how many pet owners are unaware of the regulations for pet travel, nor the potential for health impacts of changing weather and the impending stress that conďŹ nement may bring. Planning ahead and being prepared is the best advice a veterinarian can give for those who will be traveling with pets. First of all, call the airline or speciďŹ c carrier and be prepared to ask a lot of questions: Do they allow pets? Do you need to pre-book travel or can the pet be booked at the gate? Do you need a CertiďŹ cate of Health inspection from an accredited veterinarian showing proof of rabies vaccination and a current examination within ten days of travel?
What are the restrictions with respect to in-cabin travel? For example, what should your pet weigh to be able to ride in the main cabin? What are the measurements required for the pet carriers for in-cabin travel vs below? What type of pet carriers are permitted, i.e. soft- or hardsided? What are the potential lowest and highest temperatures your pet may be exposed to? What will he layover time be for my pet? May I keep food and water with my pet at all times? How many water dishes do they require? If you are traveling across state lines or international borders, be aware of the speciďŹ c requirements of your destination. For example, to take your pet to Hawaii, you must begin preparations three (3) months in advance. For Canadian travel, only a rabies certiďŹ cate is required. For European travel, you may consider applying for a “pet passport.â€? It is an excellent idea to have your pet micro-chipped for easy identiďŹ cation of your pet at the time of travel or if your pet somehow is separated from you. Once you have arrived at your destination, there are things you must consider as well. Are you traveling to the south where heart worm,
eas and ticks may prevail? Ask your veterinarian for prevention medications before your trip. Are you traveling where there is an extreme heat or cold difference? Give your pet time to acclimate and bring appropriate coverings should your pet be exposed to extreme cold. Are you traveling to a higher altitude? Just like their owners, pets with underlying heart disease may have trouble with higher elevations, so consult your veterinarian if your pet does suffer from heart disease. Bring your pet’s regular food, as sudden diet changes may result in gastric upsets. Be sure your pet has water as often as allowed. Dehydration is all too common for the traveling pet! Finally, have a great trip! Travel safe AND prepared!

Village Board Continued from front page
Rogan also complimented the DPW on its leaf collection process this year. Morton said that the department’s new equipment is far more efficient, taking half the time of the old equipment to do the same job. DPW Report Morton reported that the department’s 2009 Ford truck with 28,000 miles on it is spewing oil. He warned the board that the problem may be a cracked block and there could be a significant repair expense. The board suggested he write a letter to Ford informing the company about the issue. Morton and Coolidge informed the board that they are investigating the possible purchase of a new backhoe to replace the existing machine that is 20 years old and is used daily. The existing machine could be sold for $10-15K. Coolidge said a new machine can be purchased for about $88,500 through state bid. He would like to look into financing the purchase price with a five year bond. The board agreed to discuss the request once information about the cost of bonding is available. Engineer’s Report Village Engineer Mike Smith reported that the waste water treatment plant work is proceeding well, regular progress meetings are taking place and workers have been taking advantage of the good weather to try to get ahead. He also reported that the general contractor, STC, has assigned a new project manager. Special Events Report Patra Lowes, special events committee chair, reported that most reviews of the EVL Half and 5K were very positive. Several constructive criticisms were received, including a suggestion to post a police officer at the intersection of
Washington and Monroe streets to direct traffic, and to relocate loudspeakers. The committee will take these suggestions into account for next year’s event, Lowes said. Old Business The state’s Uniform Justice Court Act requires that municipalities audit their justice court books each year. Board member Bob Brogcinski took the lead in conducting this year’s audit and noted that court clerk Mary Schuster “keeps meticulous records that are down to the penny.” The board approved the motion to accept the audit report. The DPW will install Christmas lights around the village in time for Thanksgiving and the long-weekend’s festivities. New starburst lights are being purchased for placement at the four corners intersection (Washington and Jefferson streets). Containing trash continues to plague the village board, as people continue to place trash bags on the curb after trash day, inviting vermin to raid and strew the bags’ contents all week long. Coolidge said he and village clerk Mary Klahn had talked again with the village’s trash contractor, Casella, about providing heavy plastic trash totes to residents. Casella explained that most municipalities purchase the totes themselves, deliver them to residents, and charge them a regular fee with their trash service bills to recoup the cost over time. Coolidge said the totes cost $46 each and a quarterly fee likely would be $3-4. The board agrees wholeheartedly that providing totes will solve many of the village’s issues. They also suggested that placing trash
collection information on a sticker inside the totes would be very helpful. However, there is still a question of enforcement. The board has been discussing how tickets can be issued in case of violations related to regular trash pickup as well as bulky trash and yard waste. Attorney Bob Simon noted that tickets must be presented in person, which could be impractical. Other logistical issues exist as well. Plus, Simon reminded the board, enforcement regulations would have to be part of an amendment to Local Law, which also require a public hearing. Coolidge stated that he would like to hear ideas from the public on this topic. New Business Klahn reported that she had received a letter from bond council Hodgson Russ requesting board action on a resolution regarding Village compliance with “an IRS initiative that urges issuers of tax-exempt bonds and notes to establish formal written procedures to monitor postissuance compliance with federal tax rules.” The letter explained that municipalities without written procedures are more likely to be subjected to an IRS audit than those with the procedures in place. Hodgson Russ recommended that the village “put in place a formal regimen for recordkeeping, due diligence, training, education and monitoring/compliance.” The company said it will provide training on these procedures. The board approved the resolution. The next meeting of the Village board will be held on Monday, Dec.14 at 6 p.m. in the village/town hall.

Health Enrollment Continued from front page
the marketplace are offered by private insurance companies with a range of prices and features. All plans cover essential health benefits, preexisting conditions, including pregnancy, and preventive care. You can also add dental coverage to a health plan if you like, but you can’t buy just a dental plan. You can access and apply for coverage online at www. nystateofhealth.ny.gov, by phone at 1-855-355-5777 with in-person help (call Healthy Community Alliance at 716532-1010 or Community Service Society of New York at 716-338-1024 to make an
appointment) or with a paper application. Remember, the federal healthcare marketplace, NY State of Health, Medicaid, CHIP and other federal programs exist to ensure that everyone has health insurance. If you choose not to carry insurance in 2016, you’ll pay a penalty on your 2016 federal taxes of either 2.5% of your income, or $695 per adult ($347.50 per child) — whichever is higher. In some cases, you might qualify for an exemption from the requirement to have health insurance.
If you enroll by Dec. 15, your coverage starts Jan. 1, 2016. If you wait until Jan. 15, your coverage starts Feb. 1. If you enroll between Jan. 16 and Jan. 31, your coverage begins March 1. After Jan. 31, 2016, you won’t be able to buy a health insurance plan for coverage in 2016 unless you have a life change — like having a baby, getting married or losing other health coverage — that qualifies you for a Special Enrollment Period. There is no limited enrollment period for Medicaid or CHIP. You can apply any time.

Dziak Book Continued from front page
Mack the Indecisive chronicles the tough choices that eighth grader, Mack Sanders, must make as she finishes middle school and enjoys her last summer before starting high school. In Dziak’s words, this new book is all about Mack “finding her way. In the first book of the series, Mack had her first boyfriend, and now in the second book, she’s heartbroken.” Mack’s pain is intensified when her best friend moves away and she must discover what friendships will follow her into high school. She also discovers a whole new world as she leaves her small town for a special summer vacation. As Mack travels to new places, she learns to see herself as more than someone’s girlfriend and discovers that the world is so much bigger than she ever realized. For many readers, Mack’s experiences feel very familiar. According to Dziak, the idea for Mack the Invisible came from her very own basement, where she stored a large bin of school memorabilia, including her journals from middle school through college. Last fall, Dziak re-read each journal and remembered the joys and pains of what many regard as the toughest years: middle school. “I feel lucky that I have all these journals,” Dziak explained, “because they bring it all back…I try to capture this
in my characters. Because of the journals, it’s not just what I remember I felt back then, but what I actually felt.” In addition to Dziak’s own experiences, the input of her two daughters has been a critical part of the writing process. Dziak’s daughters and their friends, who are middle school students, enjoyed incorporating the Westbrook Ramblings series into their summer reading, and eagerly shared their thoughts with Dziak. “It helps to have my target audience help me along the way. It’s cool to have their input and feedback, like asking my kids and their friends: What parts did you like? What do you think should happen with this character?” Besides sharing their ideas about the plot and characters, Dziak’s daughters also are an important resource for their mom.
Dziak explained, “I’m basing these stories on things that I did when I was that age, but technology and how people communicate has changed so much since then.” Technology and even today’s language and figures of speech are important details that Dziak’s daughters have shared with their mom throughout this process. “It’s great to be able to talk to them about things I went through when I was their age. There are lots of things that are the same for every generation, even how you felt about your parents at that age!” Since her first book, which was published in February, Dziak has learned even more about the self-publishing process. “The process went smoother the second time…because I knew what to expect.” In addition to enlisting the services of more editors, Dziak was able to work with her illustrator, Ashlee Oakley of Springville, before finishing the manuscript. Like her first book, Dziak used CreateSpace, an independent platform, to publish Mack the Indecisive, which is also available for purchase on Amazon.com in print and digital formats. Even better, readers can get signed copies of both books from Dziak herself at The Bookworm on Saturday, Dec. 5. They make great gifts for all your favorite tweens!

Irish Christmas Dec. 4 Irish Christmas is coming on Friday, Dec. 4 to the Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC). For 10 years, it has become an event to remember. Event organizer Bob McCarthy said, “I love doing Irish Christmas which is a night of Irish magic. I don’t know how the magic gets there, but it just does. That’s the beauty of it.” The day starts with McCarthy’s wagon parked outside EBC, starting around 7 a.m., where new toys and
gifts are collected for Santa’s Workshop, which provides gifts to make Christmas special for less fortunate families. This year, guests can also enjoy the great Irish specialties and browse the unique handmade Irish furniture, special crafts or the delicious pies which will be the highlight of the auction. Although the auction doesn’t start until 7 p.m., guests start to arrive as early as 4 p.m. to get prime seating for this popular event. This year, the now-famous
pie auction will boast 14 pies, all displayed on beautiful Irish-themed pieces created by McCarthy. The highest bidder for each not only takes home a delicious pie, but also the wooden pie box or other display piece. The spirit of the season is unmatched in Ellicottville, and Irish Christmas is a perfect opportunity to share it with friends. Don’t miss Irish Christmas on Dec. 4— everyone is sure to leave with both a full heart and stomach!
