Welcome to Christmas in Ellicottville
Upcoming Events November 27 Christmas in Ellicottville begins
The day after Thanksgiving is the official start of the Christmas season all around the country. For many people, that means cramming into the mall or big box stores, standing in lines and watching people stress out over what color scarf to buy their second cousin once removed. If you’d rather start the season off with a gentler reminder of what the season really oughta feel like, there’s no better place to do that than in the Village of Ellicottville, where, with a little luck, there could even be some snow to enhance its picture-book charm. The fun begins Friday, Nov. 27 with events going on all day for the Gift of Lights, highlighted by the traditional lighting of the trees lining the village streets and the threestory tall Village Christmas tree at 6 p.m. at the 1887 building. All weekend long, you’ll be treated to old-school strolling carolers featuring the Ellicottville Sound Chorus. There will be horse-drawn wagon rides, breakfast and fire truck rides with Santa and loads of other interactive children’s activities. Plus, you and the kids will love visiting live reindeer at the 1887 building over the weekend. Of course, holiday shopping must get started and there’s nowhere else like Ellicottville’s shops, to find a bounty of unique gifts, one-of-a-kind fashion, snowsports essentials and gourmet treats that fit perfectly under every Christmas tree. Be sure to support these local entrepreneurs on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and throughout the holiday season. For the full schedule of the weekend’s events, see page 7.

Scholar-Athletes Hamilton, Lapi, Zlockie Named ECS MVPs “You are learning the skills you need to be successful in life,” said ECS Athletic Director Karl Schwartz as he began the awards presentations to the Ellicottville/West Valley volleyball and soccer teams during the Sports Banquet held at ECS on Monday, Nov. 23. And, perhaps, the most important point he made was that more than half of Ellicottville’s varsity volleyball and soccer teams’ members are scholarathletes with grade point averages of 90 or above, and all three teams (volleyball, girls soccer and boys soccer) were named NYSPHSAA All Academic Teams. Of course, all three teams had pretty great seasons as well. Both soccer teams went to the sectionals championships and the boys soccer team went to farwest regionals. So it was no surprise to any of the hundreds of

Absentee Votes Decide County Clerk, EVL Supervisor Races Democrats Bernstein, McAndrew Win By Jann Wiswall
If you don’t think your vote counts, look no further than Ellicottville and Cattaraugus County for proof that it does. Following the general election on Nov. 3, a number of
races were too close to call and hinged on an official count of absentee ballots. In the County, the race for county clerk was too close to call after the general election. After completing the count of 763 absentee ballots on Wednesday, Nov. 18, the Board of Elections has See Local Elections page 11

was purchased by The Gin Mill owners Ed and Maribeth Rick early this year. The extensive renovations the Ricks have made have brought back the original look and feel of the historic building’s exterior, which Ed says dates back well over a century. While some records were destroyed by fire, he knows that “this building is pre-1870.” Working toward that goal was no easy feat. Ceilings were raised, original windows restored and brick walls were exposed, leading to the fitting name and tagline the BrickStone Suites: “Historic elegance in the heart of Ellicottville.” “Everything has been done locally, with the exception of the brick work,” Ed adds. Work on the second floor, which has housed apartments for many years, began in April. The Rick’s renovated the entire

floor to create five rental units -- two efficiencies with beds, a bath and a kitchenette, and three one-bedroom units, each with a bedroom, living room with sofa bed, bath and kitchen with full size appliances. All are accessed by an entrance on Monroe Street. Two of the units face the front of the building and share a large new balcony space overlooking the main drag on Washington Street. Each unit features earthy tones that complement the exposed brick and natural light, as well as unique furnishings. “A lot of thought went into the colors and the decorating,” Maribeth said, adding that the units include “all linens, dishes, HDTV and WiFi.”Everything is there!” Behind the gorgeous interiors, Ed emphasized how much insulation was installed. “We’re on a noisy street here so wanted to make sure the
suites are soundproof,” he said. Those booking a stay for two weeks or longer receive access to the suites’ laundry room at no charge. And let’s face it— winter parking in Ellicottville can sometimes be a challenge. The Ricks said that parking will be available for a charge. Come spring, the Ricks will be back to work remodeling the first floor interior of the building facing Washington Street. “It will be all wood and windows,” Maribeth explained. Plans include opening a restaurant on the first floor. The BrickStone Suites are available for rent starting in mid-December, but can be booked now through ERA VP Realty (www.myteamvp. com). The minimum stay for an efficiency unit is two nights and the preferred minimum stay for the one-bedroom units is seven nights.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
By Kim Duke NETA & AFAA Certified Trainer
One of the strangest things I hear during fitness assessments is the admission that many of my new clients do not drink water. Their reasons range from odd to insane, like they do not like the taste, or they just don’t think about it, and the most bizarre, it makes them need to use the bathroom. What I explain to these clients is that life cannot exist without water. Water can be a miracle cure for many common ailments such as headaches, fatigue, joint pain, muscle cramps and much more. We can go weeks without food, but only 3 days without water. According to H.H. Mitchell in an article in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the brain and heart are composed of 73 percent water, and the lungs are about 83 percent water. The skin contains 64 percent water, muscles and kidneys are 79 percent, and even the bones are watery at 31 percent.
Photos ECS Sports Boosters
Water plays a vital role in nearly every bodily function. Lack of water is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue. A mere two percent drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or printed page. Consistent failure to drink enough water can lead to chronic cellular dehydration. This condition leaves the body in a weakened state, vulnerable to attack from disease. It is difficult to get water from any other source than water itself. Soft drinks and alcohol steal tremendous amounts of water from the body. Other beverages such as coffee and tea are diuretics, also stealing precious water from the body. Water transports and metabolizes. It is essential for proper digestion, nutrient absorption and chemical reactions. According to Clark Bartram, International Sports Sciences Association Master Trainer, the carbohydrates and proteins that our bodies use as food are metabolized and transported by water in the bloodstream. No less important is the ability of water to transport waste material out of our bodies. The benefits to keeping our bodies hydrated with water do not stop there. When the body is well hydrated, there is more oxygen in the bloodstream.
The more oxygen the body has readily available the more fat it will burn for energy. Water also suppresses appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat. Studies have shown that a decrease in water intake will cause fat deposits to increase, while an increase in water intake can actually reduce fat deposits and unsightly cellulite as well. Oftentimes our thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger. In a University of Washington study of dieters, one glass of water shut down hunger pangs for almost 100 percent of the dieters. Water is also the body’s best cooling source. Sports drinks are useful when consumed after or during vigorous or prolonged exercise in high heat. But, most experts agree that water works better than carbohydrates or sugary beverages for moderate exercise. So, if you are not thirsty for a large glass of delicious water after reading this article, I can only assume you are a rock and not a human being! However, if you are ready to grab a glass or two, here is the general rule as to how much is enough: Drink half of your body weight in ounces of water every day to provide the body with the MINIMUM water replacement requirements. Triple the intake for better results.

parents, family members, teachers and coaches at the Monday, Nov. 23 Sports Banquet that the athletes named Most Valuable Player for each team are exceptional athletes and exceptional students. Junior Marissa Hamilton, the volleyball MVP, was also named to the CCAA first team All-Stars. Senior Cole Lapi, the boys soccer MVP, was named CCAA League Defensive MVP, a Big 30 All Star and All WNY first team. And girls soccer MVP Morgan Zlockie, a senior, was named to the the Big 30 All Stars and the All WNY first team. All three are scholar-athletes, as well. Middle/High School Principal Bob Miller expressed his pride in all the successes of this year’s fall teams. Miller pointed out the fact that as a small Division D school, Ellicottville regularly plays much larger schools with far
bigger teams. Despite those disadvantages, “three teams went to regionals this year” (including the FranklinvilleEllicottville Titans football team). “You give us so much to be proud of,” he said. Additional awards Volleyball team coach Katie Auge awarded Caitlin Golley the coach’s award, Linnea Jimerson was awarded most improved player and the Eagle Award went to seniors Liz Dusterhus and Kelsi Belz. Dusterhus also received this year’s Sportsmanship Award. Auge thanked a number of West Valley athletes who have helped bring the program back to ECS and build for the future. Boys varsity coach Matt Finn, who himself was named the League’s ”Coach of the Year, awarded junior Aiden Rozler this year’s coach’s award and junior Robert Spell was awarded most improved
player. Matt DiDonato was named a CCAA First Team A-Star. Finn singled out each of the 14 seniors on the team for their particular strengths and leadership. Mary Neilon, long-time girls varsity soccer coach, announced that senior-class team co-captains Kaleigh Hunt and Shelby Toth both were named First Team All-Stars. Toth and Hunt then presented a very special award to fellow co-captain Morgan Zlockie, who is Ellicottville’s firstever career 100+-goal scorer. Zlockie was awarded her 100th goal ball, which was mounted on a pedestal and signed by her teammates. Please note: The Franklinville-Ellicottville Titans football banquet is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 p.m. in the Great Valley Fire Hall.

Dazzle of the Season Continued from front page
Ellicottville and immerse yourself in all that is magic about small town holidays. This old-fashioned village oozing with vintage charm takes Christmas to new heights. As you stroll and shop in the village, take time to appreciate the decorated village businesses, each incorporating a theme from a favorite Christmas song and a motion display. While the season officially begins Thanksgiving weekend, it continues throughout the month with activities and events for kids and adults of all ages. When you’re in town next weekend, Dec. 4-6, be sure to stop by Bob McCarthy’s Christmas tree-decorated wagon parked outside Ellicottville Brewing Company on Monroe Street starting around 7 a.m. that Friday. Drop off a new, unwrapped toy or gift for a child, teen or adult and help families put gifts under the tree. Cash and gift donations will go to the Rotary Club of Ellicottville, which supports Santa’s Workshop and helps families who need a little extra boost make Christmas memorable. Irish cheer takes on a completely new meaning that evening (Dec. 4) at the annual Irish Christmas event, held this year at the Ellicottville Brewing Company. This fundraiser is a merry evening of music, food, drink, camaraderie and, of course, the infamous pie auction presented by organizer Bob McCarthy. Everyone is invited to come to this free event to share some holiday cheer. The evening includes live Irish music from 6–10 p.m., with an intermission at 7 p.m. for the infamous auction, including 10 delicious homebaked pies, custom crafted wood items and more. In addition to the auction, guests can sample a Taste of Ireland from six restaurants for a $5 donation per restaurant. A cash bar will be available all evening. Stay for the weekend or come back on Dec. 5 for festivities
during the annual Christmas Stroll, an Ellicottville tradition since 1987. The whole family will enjoy the Christmas Bazaar, organ music and ornament making at the United Methodist Church on Elizabeth Street. Sample a free cookie from Mrs. Claus at Katy’s Café, join the reindog parade and watch the living Nativity reenactment that evening. You might even win a prize in the Ellicottville Goodie Hunt, the holiday version of a fun scavenger hunt. Pick up your hunt forms at participating businesses. More information at www.ellicottvilleny.com. The next weekend, come back and hit the slopes for Rail Jam at Holiday Valley on Dec. 12.

Cindy’s chairlift will remain open for an extended hour of skiing, after which the Holiday Valley Mountain Crew will wow spectators with their annual grooming machine parade on Cindy’s at 11:15 p.m. If you are an intermediate or more skilled skier, you can join the torchlight parade that kicks off at 11:30 p.m. The evening ends in a spectacular fireworks show at 11:45 p.m. Admission to the New Year’s party is free.

5X7 Art for Everyone Exhibition and Sale Has a New Twist! By Tina Hastings, Executive director, CCAC
The annual “5X7 Art for Everyone” Exhibition and Sale kicks off at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5 at the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC). General admission tickets are $15 per person for this event where more than 300 original 5” X 7” artworks will line the CCAC gallery wall. The new twist is that 10 of these pieces by popular artists will be covered, increasing the suspense of choosing these pieces! The evening is a lively affair with buyers vying for their favorite pieces. The artwork is hung anonymously, so value and name recognition are level, while fun and anticipation increases. One by one, thirty first-pick ticket holders ($50 per person) get to choose up to three pieces. After the first-pick ticket holders have chosen, all the artwork is available for claiming by everyone present. With the new twist of having ten artworks by popular local artists “hidden in plain sight,” buyers choosing these works will not know what they have until after they have purchased them, sight unseen.
Guests will also enjoy appetizers catered by Sheila Darrow and happy hour beverages as they shop for original artworks priced at $25 each. As a teaser preview, local favorite landscape oil painter Mikel Wintermantel is donating three pieces and the 2015 Southern Tier Biennial Best of Show Winner Wayne Claypatch is donating two pieces. Professional artists and amateurs alike are welcome to submit their work. Information on how to do so is on the CCAC website www. myartscouncil,net. Artwork not claimed during the event on December 5 will remain on sale throughout the holiday season in the gallery. We want to thank our business sponsor of this event,
Fox Financial, for supporting CCAC. This annual fundraiser helps the Cattaraugus County Arts Council finish the year strong so that we can continue to provide classes, workshops and programming that will make this beautiful place in which we live an even better place - a more interesting, stimulating place where people want to live, work, and raise their families. First-pick tickets for $50 and general admission tickets for $15 can be purchased on the CCAC website or at the office/studio/store at 100 West Main Street, Allegany, Monday-Friday 9 a.m.–4 p.m., and by phone at (716)3727455. For more information, please contact Tina at tina@ myartscouncil.net.

Thankful Thoughts on 2015
By Joe Wright, Marketing Director & Business Development, EVGV Trail
On behalf of the entire Ellicottville–Great Valley Trail Committee, I’d like to take a moment to wish all of Ellicottville and the surrounding Cattaraugus County area a happy and safe holiday season. Also, thank you to all who have supported and continue to support this project with your time, money, resources and other intangibles you’ve devoted to this community project as we begin to close the book on 2015 and head into an exciting 2016 for the EVGV Trail. Personally, as I look back on 2015, I feel very fortunate to have been introduced and welcomed to Ellicottville by its business owners, residents and guests. These people truly help make this a special place to spend time. I’ve also had the tremendous opportunity to start working
alongside the dedicated people of the EVGV Trail Committee since this April. Many of these committee members have been working on launching the Trail for more than three years. Lastly, I’d like to thank my employer Jim Cornell, owner of the EllicottVillas, for affording me the opportunity to come work here in Ellicottville and dedicate time to the EVGV Trail and the committee to help the project along. Congratulations to former EVGV Trail Committee member Dash Hegeman, who recently left HoliMont and Ellicottville for a position with the marketing team at Taos Ski Valley in New Mexico. Dash brought a slew of creativity and graphic design expertise to the EVGV Trail project. We wish him the best of luck as he starts a new chapter in his life at Taos. Lastly, the EVGV Trail continues to sell its 2016 Holiday Valley discount booklet. A great holiday gift for anybody who recreates at Holiday Valley, this coupon book is good for discounts at Double Black Diamond Golf Course, Sky High Adventure Park, the Holiday Valley pool and John Harvard’s Brew House. The book retails for just $25 and is valued at more than $900. The booklet can be purchased at Holiday
Valley’s Resort Services, the Ellicottville Times ofďŹ ce, the EllicottVillas and at Mud, Sweat & Gears. All proceeds go to help launch the EVGV Trail. We look forward to an exciting and productive 2016 with the EVGV Trail.

About the EVGV Trail: The Ellicottville-Great Valley Trail is a proposed 15-mile network of multi-use trails that will expand the active transportation and recreation options for Ellicottville and Great Valley residents and visitors. Like many other successful ski resort communities, Ellicottville is planning this trail network to link and expand other spring, summer, and fall programming and facilities. Mountain biking and on-road bicycling are already popular activities in the region. Multi-use trails will accommodate families, children, walkers, joggers, inline and ski skaters and others by creating a comfortable and accessible non-motorized transportation and recreation system.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year in the historic village of Randolph, which lies just 20 miles south of Ellicottville. Girls, moms, aunts and grandmas are invited to make new holiday memories at Randolph’s My Doll and Me: A Christmas Tea on Sunday, November 29. Then, bring the whole family to Randolph during the weekend of December 4 and 5 for Randolph’s Country Christmas weekend. On Sunday, November 29 at the Randolph Library, the Randolph Area Community Development Corporation (RACDC) is hosting My Doll and Me: A Christmas Tea. Girls ages 5 through 12 are invited to bring their American Girl doll (or other favorite doll) and spend the afternoon with family and friends to enjoy tea, lunch, an educational presentation and Christmas activities. Shop the doll boutique, win prizes, and enter to win the grand prize drawing for the newest “Be Forever American Girl Doll,â€? named Maryellen Larkin, whose decade is the 1950s. There are two tea times: 12-2 p.m. or 3-5 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for girls. All proceeds beneďŹ t the RACDC. To make reservations for your
preferred time, call Mary at (716) 358-9701 ext. 208 or email racdc@randolphny.net. You won’t want to miss this fun afternoon! On Friday, December 4, Randolph begins Country Christmas weekend with the Memory Tree Ceremony in the triangle park at 7:30 p.m. Purchase a memory tree ornament now through December 3 to honor a loved one’s memory, or celebrate the life of someone special to you. All names will be read aloud and honored at the ceremony, and ornaments will decorate Randolph’s Christmas tree throughout the season. Memory Tree ornaments are $5 each and can be purchased online at http://enjoyrandolph. org/events/country-christmas/. On Saturday, Dec. 5, Randolph’s Christmas Parade, sponsored and organized by Expressions Performing Arts Center, takes place at 11 a.m., when Santa and Mrs. Claus will make their ofďŹ cial arrival in Randolph! The parade begins at Randolph’s First Baptist Church on Main Street and will continue downtown to Wadsworth Street. Children are invited to see Santa and Mrs. Claus immediately following the parade at the Randolph Library. At the library, children
can get their passport for the Snowake Walk, which directs families to the different businesses downtown where children can pick up a small Christmas treat. Throughout the afternoon, horse-drawn carriages, sponsored by the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation, will leave from the library and take families around downtown Randolph. As families make their way downtown, they can head to the Randolph Central School gymnasiums for the Annual Craft Show, which starts at 10 a.m. on Saturday. This is a great place to ďŹ nd unique, oneof-a-kind gifts! Throughout the weekend, the East Randolph United Methodist Church will present its Living Nativity. Friday’s and Saturday’s performances begin at 7 p.m. at the church, and Saturday’s Living Nativity will feature a live camel!

OBITUARY
David J. Markham 1943-2015 Mr. David J. Markham, 72, of Great Valley, died Thursday morning (Nov. 19, 2015) at his home. Born on March 30, 1943, in Salamanca, he was a son of the late Merle “Boneyâ€? and Erma Sommers Markham. Dave graduated from Ellicottville School in 1961. Afterward, he attended the Ranger School in Wanakena, graduating in 1962. In September 1964, he married Sandra Bachman of Salamanca.

From the Bookshelf Recommended Reading from the Ellicottville Memorial Library
‘Humans of New York: Stories’ by Brandon Stanton In the summer of 2010, photographer Brandon Stanton began publishing photos and their accompanying interviews in what became known as the blog Humans of New York. His audience steadily grew from a few hundred followers to, at present count, more than 15 million. In 2013, his book Humans of New York, based on that blog, was published and immediately catapulted to the top of the NY Times Bestseller List. Now, Brandon is back with the Humans of New York: Stories book which his loyal followers have anxiously been awaiting. Ever since Brandon began interviewing people on the streets of New York, the dialogue he’s had with them has increasingly become as in-depth, intriguing and moving as the photos themselves. Humans of New York: Stories presents a whole new group of people in stunning photographs, with a rich design and, most importantly, longer stories that delve deeper and surprise with greater candor. Let Brandon Stanton and the Humans of New York he’s photographed astonish you all over again this October. 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!
Phoenix Program Continued from front page
great season for students and instructors alike. HoliMont’s Program began in 1996, when former program director Chuck Richardson was asked to work with a special needs student. Since then, the program has grown to include several students of all disabilities, from physical to cognitive. This season, Richardson has stepped into the position of athlete coordinator, and stepping into his former role as program director is David Berghash. While director is a new role for him, Berghash noted it’s his “seventh year with the Phoenix program.” The Phoenix program, which is part of HoliMont’s Snowsports program, is made up of a dedicated group of instructors and volunteers. “We get together once in November for dry land instruction,” said Berghash. “We go over different disabilities and procedures. Then we all get together again in December in conjunction with the ski school.” Adaptive ski teaching focuses on skill development, regardless of where the movement originates. Each student typically has at least one lead instructor and one volunteer. “When an instructor has a volunteer, it enables the instructor to focus solely on the student and their progress,” explained Annette Auteri, a certified adaptive level I instructor with a specialty discipline in teaching the blind and developmentally disabled. Auteri has been with the Phoenix Program since 2011 and was formerly a volunteer. The director typically assigns the instructors and volunteers based on the staff on hand for the day and the needs of each
particular student, unlike alpine programs where one instructor is assigned to a small group of students. In some instances there are multiple instructors and volunteers, Berghash explained. Lessons start on Dec. 27, and are held regularly on weekends for HoliMont members throughout the season. On Sundays, “we open up our outreach programs to the public,” explained Berghash. “We also offer lessons during the week by reservation.” “We typically have 12-18 regular students, plus a handful of drop-ins,” said Berghash. Berghash, who previously worked with other adaptive programs, enthusiastically pointed out the dedication of everyone involved in the Phoenix Program. “The training and all the information we get through HoliMont is second to none,” he said. The team is made
up of PSIA instructors who have met the high standards and certifications needed for aadaptive instruction. He also aadded that the “consistency w with our students” is a differentiator in HoliMont’s adaptive program; students generally stick with the same instructor(s) each week. Phoenix Program instructors share Berghash’s enthusiasm for the program. “It’s definitely not a j-o-b!” said Auteri. “There’s an enormous amount of contagious positive energy and excitement the moment you step foot into the Phoenix Room. The camaraderie among staff and volunteers gives one a sense of, ‘I have to be a part of this!’ My question is, who wouldn’t want to be involved?” She added: “I hate to see each season end. It goes by so quickly! We’re like one big family. You look forward to seeing the students and their families year after year...This is a program that sets everyone up for success — not failure. Parents trust us with their kids. We need to provide the very best safe and fun experience possible - otherwise, they won’t come back!” Best rates for lesson packages are available before Dec. 1.
