A Myriad of Reasons to Explore Ellicottville This Winter
By Eva Potter
Ellicottville’s charm and distinct personality has a draw unlike any other small town in the region. From the generous and inviting residents, to the unique shops, music-filled nightlife, fabulous restaurants, cozy lodging and loads of adventurous opportunities, Ellicottville offers so many leisure and recreation options for our local and visiting friends all winter long. Winter is prime time around here with skiing, boarding and tubing taking the prize for snowy outdoor fun. Holiday Valley Resort has been named the #5 Best Winter Resort in the East by readers of SKI magazine for a second year in a row. The Valley’s highly respected Snowsports School, racing programs, lifts and slopes, gorgeous lodges, spectacular views, delectable food, terrain parks for all ages and helpful staff make this a top-notch family destination. Ellicottville also lays claim to HoliMont, the largest private ski area in the U.S., known for its welcoming members, great programs and exclusive slopeside living — and it’s in the midst of a master expansion plan. Look for interesting additions within the next few years. Whoever said strolling snowy sidewalks isn’t a sport hasn’t visited our great shops, offering signature Ellicottville wear, chic winter ensembles, artistic jewelry, high-tech active gear, really cool socks, fine art, gourmet foods, canine accessories, fine wines and more. No matter where you shop in Ellicottville, you’re sure to go home with some great finds. You can even do a little wine or beer tasting, or book a relaxing massage to round out your day.

Cindy’s Run at Holiday Valley
The nightlife around here is also first class, with live entertainment covering everything from folk to blues to rock ‘n roll on most nights of the week. At Holiday Valley, snowmaking, along with a healthy dose of the natural stuff from Mother Nature, has been underway for the past several weeks, which allowed an early “preview” opening on limited slopes Nov. 21-23. Skiers and boarders were delighted to hit the slopes on Holiday Valley’s official opening day on Nov. 28. HoliMont, the largest private ski resort in the U.S., is planning a Dec. 13 opening this year. The public is welcome on the slopes on weekdays, so come and check them out, too! Of course, it wouldn’t be winter without tubing at Holiday Valley Tubing Park, ice skating, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and crosscountry skiing as favorite pastimes. A little cold and snow doesn’t stop Holiday Valley’s Mountain Coaster — a 4,805-foot, gravity-defying ride with 15 curves, 12 waves, a jump, plus a huge circle/spiral — from providing a frosty thrill ride. If you’re lucky enough to visit Ellicottville during the holidays and beyond, here are many reasons we’ll make your trip a very merry one. Irish Christmas This heartwarming event on Friday, Dec. 5, 6:00 p.m. at the Gin Mill, features cheerful music, an outrageous live auction for hotel and ski packages, handmade Irish gift items, the best pies you’ll ever taste and other fabulous gifts — all to benefit Santa’s Workshop and Family Support for Ellicottville, a local nonprofit organization. Each year this community-minded group helps about 100-plus recipients and their families around the holidays and beyond. For more information or to help, call (716) 699-8758 or (716) 997-9649.

Looking for a great way to celebrate the holiday season? Look no further than right here in Ellicottville, where two annual holiday events are sure to get you in the spirit. Friday, Dec. 5 is the Irish Christmas celebration at the Gin Mill, an event organized by Bob McCarthy that combines festive Irish-themed fun with giving back to the community. The day starts with McCarthy’s wagon parked outside the Gin Mill, at about 7 a.m., where new toys and gifts will be collected. Everyone is invited to drop off a new, unwrapped item — gifts can be for children, teens or adults. The highlight of the evening is the pie auction, in which homemade pies presented in or on homemade, Irish-themed works of art made by McCarthy are auctioned off. The auction, which starts around 7 p.m., has become a fun-filled and competitive tradition among locals and visitors alike. The loud and energetic crowd can be heard from the sidewalks as they cheer each other on as they try to outbid one another. Last year, the winning pie bid was a whopping $475! While the evening is full of

Gado-Gado Goes Global New Online Option for Shoppers By Jann Wiswall
Every woman has a favorite fashion boutique or two that brings back memories from a vacation or visit to family. It’s that little shop where you found a blouse that still gets compliments, where you found a gift for someone that you wish you’d also gotten for yourself or where a salesperson introduced you to a designer that suits you to a tee. Gado-Gado in Ellicottville is one of those very special shops with artful clothing and accessories and knowledgeable customer service. Now you can shop all year long at both the physical store on Monroe Street and online through a new, highly selective company based in New York City called Shoptiques. “I’d been looking into e-commerce as a future goal,” said Gado-Gado owner Suzanne Roberts,

“Fit is Not a Destination. It’s a Way of Life.” We have all seen that quote before. And, if you are in any fitness industry, you better believe it. As a trainer, my job is to keep up with the ever-evolving fitness trends and tricks. And since I have been a part of this industry since 1983 (yikes), I have seen many trends come and go. One thing that has stayed consistent however, is weight training. You don’t have to be a bodybuilder or professional athlete to reap the benefits of weight training. When done correctly, weight training can help you lose fat, increase your strength and muscle tone, and improve bone density. If done incorrectly, however, weight training won’t give you these benefits — and may even lead to injury. You may already know the dos and don’ts for weight training, but I’d be negligent as a trainer if I did not give them to you before encouraging you to weight train. So here goes. When you’re weight training, do: Lift an appropriate amount of weight. Start with a weight you can lift comfortably 12 to 15 times. For most people, a single set of 12 repetitions with the proper weight can build strength just as efficiently as can three sets of the same exercise. As you get stronger, gradually increase the amount of weight.
Use proper form. Learn to do each exercise correctly. The better your form, the better your results — and the less likely you are to hurt yourself. If you’re unable to maintain good form, decrease the weight or the number of repetitions. Remember that proper form matters even when you pick up and replace your weights on the weight racks. If you’re not sure whether you’re doing a particular exercise correctly, ask a personal trainer or other fitness specialist for help. Breathe. You might be tempted to hold your breath while you’re lifting weights. Don’t. Holding your breath can lead to dangerous increases in blood pressure. Instead, breathe out as you lift the weight and breathe in as you lower the weight. Seek balance. Work all of your major muscles — abdominals, legs, chest, back, shoulders and arms. Strengthen the opposing muscles in a balanced way, such as the front of the shoulder and the back of the shoulder. Rest. Avoid exercising the same muscles two days in a row. You might work all of your major muscle groups at a single session two or three times a week, or plan daily sessions for specific muscle groups. For example, on Monday work your arms and shoulders, on Tuesday work your legs, and so on. Follow these tips to avoid common mistakes when you’re weight training: Don’t skip the warm-up. Cold muscles are more prone to injury than are warm muscles. Before you lift weights, warm up with 5–10 minutes of brisk walking or other aerobic activity. Don’t rush. Move the weight in an unhurried, controlled fashion. Taking it slow helps you isolate the muscles you
want to work and keeps you from relying on momentum to lift the weight. Don’t overdo. For most people, completing one set of exercises to the point of fatigue is typically enough. Additional sets may only eat up your time and contribute to overload injury. Don’t ignore pain. If an exercise causes pain, stop. Try it again in a few days or try it with less weight. Don’t forget your shoes. Shoes with good traction can keep you from slipping while you’re lifting weights. Remember, the more you concentrate on proper weight training technique, the more you’ll get from your weight training program. So now that you are armed with the knowledge to weight train, let’s get started. Walking Kick-butt lunge*: Standing with feet hip-width apart, hold a dumbbell in front of your chest, with elbows bent at the waist. Step forward with right foot into a lunge, bending right knee until it’s aligned with right ankle and left knee is pointing toward the ground with heel lifted. Plant your weight on the right foot (front foot) and kick the left heel up toward the buttocks without arching your back. Bring the back foot back to start and step forward with left foot repeating the lunge and kick as you walk forward. Complete 8–10 per leg. Rest and repeat 2-3 more times. *This move alone will strengthen buttocks, quads, hamstrings, calves, inner thighs, hips and core. In my future articles I will be highlighting an exercise and offering food tips, too. Feel free to send me questions, concerns or ideas on what you would like to see in my article.

Writing in the Toronto Star, columnist Judith Timson recalls the story of a friend taking his 93-year-old mother to buy shoes. The elderly lady used to be quite stylish. But now, the son knew the best thing for Mom was a pair of simple, lace-up walking shoes. However, his mother insisted on high heels. Cajoled into trying on the walking shoes, she looked down at her feet and declared that she liked the right one, but wasn’t so keen on the left one. The man sat there stymied and then remembered Mom always loved a bargain. So he told her that they were having a sale and if she bought the right one she could get the left one free. She was delighted. The deal was done. Humour 1/Alzheimer’s 0. Alzheimer’s might be the most horrible disease of our time in that the loss of mental faculties does not go lock and step with physical deterioration. You could walk around in this insidious fog for a very, very long time. The things that can make looking after an Alzheimer’s patient bearable are the dedication of the caregivers, the timeless attention and patience of the nursing staff and ... humour. The need for levity and the serenity it brings, however brief and fleeting, is about to get a whole lot greater. An impending ‘dementia epidemic’ will see 1.4 million Canadians with Alzheimer’s by the year 2031 and 13 million Americans will succumb by 2050. Currently, 750,000 Canadians and 5.2 million Americans suffer from the disease and I truly believe it’s humour that gives their family and caregivers the strength to carry on. When Harold, a gracious man, a retired school principal and a member of my family by marriage, came down with dementia in his early 90s, he was inconsolable. He had always been busy in retirement, sitting on committees and volunteering for good
causes. He needed desperately to get back to his work. The problem was meetings — board meetings, parent/teacher meetings, Rotary Club meetings, meetings, meetings. A hectic schedule indeed despite the fact that he had been bedridden for a year and never left his hospital room. My sister and her husband tried everything to convince him that all those meetings were in the past and he need not be concerned about them anymore. This would only cause him to look at his watch and struggle to get out of bed, late once again for a meeting. Then the Alzheimer’s consultant came up with a brilliant idea - a signing ceremony in which Harold, with great reluctance ... and, after several meetings ... initialled official resignation documents from every committee and organization he had ever belonged to. Presto! The weight was lifted. Harold relaxed and slept better after that. Somewhere between the tears and laughter, calmness and normalcy can visit the lives of patients of dementia and their loved ones, albeit temporarily. At Northland Manor, where my mother Margaret spent the last two years of her life, humour came often and in very different ways. Whenever I visited, I’d usually spot a sweet, elderly lady I had known for years. As a shopkeeper she had been polite and talkative but never profane. And yet there in the corner of the common room she would sit, singing some of the dirtiest sailor ditties I have ever heard. In this case, a short memory was a blessing. One day a young staffer began examining her to see if she was wet. The woman stopped her cold and said: “Honey, you want to see that sort of stuff go work in one of them strip clubs. You’ll make more money there too!” Once on a flight back from London, England, I sat beside a woman, a little older than me. She
sat in the window seat reading a book for almost the entire flight. In the aisle seat, I did the same. Somewhere over Ottawa we got to talking about our trips. I had spent five days in the basement of the London Zoo researching a book. She had flown to London to visit her mother who was suffering from Alzheimer’s. This woman had not seen her mother in seven years and her siblings in England had warned her to expect the worst. The day after she arrived in London, she made her way to the nursing home. The woman at the reception directed her to the floor where her mother resided and she was instantly impressed by the brightness of the common room, the airy mood, the nurses making their rounds. She immediately spotted her mother in a sofa chair in the corner. She looked great, she was smiling the woman told me. She took a deep breath and marched right up to her mother, sitting down on the edge of the sofa. “Do you know who I am?” she asked and then got very close to her mother’s face so there could be no mistake. When her mother looked blankly at her, she repeated the question, only louder: “Do you know who I am?” Gradually, her mother got this look of satisfaction on her face, leaned forward and whispered: “No I don’t, dear. But if you ask that nice lady in the white uniform over there - she might be able to help you out.” For comments, ideas and copies of Margaret And Me, go to www.williamthomas.ca

LEGAL MATTERS:
Protect Against the Unknown and Unforeseen
By Kathleen G. Moriarty, Peters & Moriarty, Attorneys and Counselors of Law
Legal Matters is a regular column intended to address general legal concerns. Since every client walks in the door with a different set of circumstances, you should not rely on this column to provide specific legal advice. If you are in need of specific legal advice, please consult with an attorney; he or she will provide advice that is unique and tailored to your legal needs.
A title insurance policy, like most insurance, is additional protection against the unknown and unforeseen. Title policies are purchased by a person having a significant financial interest in a piece of real property — most commonly, the buyer and the lender. Most banks, as the lenders, require that the buyer purchase what’s called a “lender’s policy” to protect the bank’s interest in the property. The buyer then has the option of purchasing an “owner’s policy” to protect her interest in the property. Title claims are rare but generally result from the failure to record some document — a deed, mortgage, or easement agreement, for example — in the chain of title. A policy may also cover a dispute over the property’s boundary lines. Policies don’t usually cover issues that are known or otherwise reflected in the title search, but they may
cover minor defects such as a slight encroachment of a shed on an adjoining property. Most known concerns will be resolved when the buyer’s attorney reviews the title search. The cost of these policies is not exorbitant because the risk of a claim is relatively low. Policy pricing is set by New York State statute and is based on the value of the policyholder’s interest in the property. Thus, the lender’s policy is issued to protect the dollar amount of the mortgage, and the owner’s policy is issued to protect their initial investment in the property — the purchase price. An owner may also choose to purchase a market value rider, which covers any appreciation in the property. Although it is in an owner’s best legal interest to obtain a title policy, she must also weigh the cost and benefits of such a policy.

Calvin Mercer Celebrates 90
Nothing Has Changed By Mary Fox
When asked how he felt about being 90, Calvin Mercer hesitated and said, “You caught me off guard. Actually nothing has changed.” Cal’s 90 years don’t show and he is as active and involved as ever. In the “nothing has changed” category, Cal’s preparations are almost complete for his skiers to return to the five rooms he rents out in his ski lodge/home in the big red house on Mill Street Extension, or to the old timers, the Farm to Market Road. Cal, his brother Roger and sister Ellen all grew up on Elizabeth Street in Ellicottville. Their parents bought the farm in the late 1940s and it has been in the family ever since. The house was built in 1892 after a fire destroyed a building on the same site built in 1837. Once, when digging next to the house, Cal found old charred timbers from that building long ago time. Upon graduation from high school (then housed in the 1887 Building), Cal went into the service. When he completed his Army stint, he attended Mohawk Junior College in Utica, N.Y., under the G.I. Bill. “Classes were small, the faculty was tops and they had a captive audience — a group of veterans who were anxious to
get on with their lives,” he said. Cal remembers this experience as one of the best, for it was here that he became hooked on education. Cal finished his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the University of Kentucky. His teaching career started with a one-year position in business administration at East Tennessee in Johnson City. He received his doctorate at Florida State, where he completed a course in a new field, Student Personnel in Higher Education. Upon completion, he returned to East Tennessee, became Dean of Men and remained in that position for 25 years. He continued to teach one course in accounting. In 1982, upon returning to his roots and the old family farm, he took up raising beef cattle and gardening. Spring planting, summer garden tending and fall freezing takes up much of Cal’s year. “I put up 100 pounds of corn,
20 pounds of green beans and 30 pounds of broccoli this year, which will last me until the next harvest,” he said. “Some I share with people who don’t have a garden. Most I keep for myself.” His specialty is corn and he swears by the special formula he uses to plant it. Cal loves sweet treats, such as Lucille Harris’ brownies and his most favorite treat, Marge Fitzpatrick’s ambrosia. “Right now I have 11 pies in the freezer,” he said, most brought to him by one of his skiers. “I limit myself to one a week,” he confesses. Another thing that hasn’t changed is his love of quilting, and he is getting ready to start a new one this winter. An expert quilter, he has made over 100 quilts since the college president’s wife challenged him to join her quilting class. “I did and was the first in the class to finish,” he laughed. Teresa Mercer, Calvin’s niece sums it up best. “He has been an inspiration to his family and we expect to have him with us for a long, long time,” she said. Cal said, “The days aren’t long enough, but above all, his family, and his church remain the constants in his life. Nothing has changed there.”

profit and continually growing the business is important, a publication that provides interesting, informative and entertaining content should never forget why it exists. While the continued advancement of the Internet and use of iPads and smart phones cannot be denied, weekly publications such as the Ellicottville Times — a locally owned and operated newspaper — play a very important role in our society. Thanks to the hard work of an award-winning staff that has over a quarterof-a-century of experience in the resort and tourism industry, the Ellicottville Times remains dedicated to churning out an advertiser and reader supported product on a weekly basis. As the official newspaper of the Town of Ellicottville, Village of Ellicottville, Town of Great Valley and Town of Mansfield, this newspaper is locally owned, locally operated and locally written. With an increasing number of community newspapers now being owned by large media organizations, “mom and pop” operations like the Ellicottville Times deliver to its readers and advertisers that personal touch that conglomerate and corporate ownership simply cannot provide. The stories published in this and other locally owned and operated newspapers have more local relevance on a small and intimate scale because they cover the people, places and things of interest to those who live in our community as well as the many who visit our region. Unlike other media outlets, a locally owned newspaper has the time, effort and energy to be flexible, creative and truly think outside of the box when it comes to coverage of issues of great importance in our community. The focus is always on content that is local as opposed to syndicated articles and stories published by other newspapers that are designed with a corporate mindset and approach to simply filling space. Approximately 95 percent of newspapers published in this country are classified as “community” publications that each have a circulation of 50,000 or below. Their combined circulation — an estimated 109 million — is triple that of the combined circulation of our country’s large daily newspapers. While

Our story garnered more than 38,000 views on our Facebook page and provided exponential exposure for advertisers. study after study continues to present facts that circulation numbers for daily newspapers for home delivery and newsstand sales continue to decline, the value in the minds of readers and advertisers of weekly newspapers such as the Ellicottville Times continues to rise. A free weekly printed publication has a number of advantages, including the simple fact that it is a bargain. In addition to top-notch editorial content covering a wide variety of topics, newspapers readers have access to print advertising and coupons that promote sales and special offers. An established loyal customer base is in place because the publisher and editorial staff of this newspaper work incredibly hard to create positive relationships with members of the community. As the Ellicottville Times’ reputation grows, more and more community members place their trust in a locally owned and operated business that provides timely and accurate information that both educates and entertains its readers. By advertising with a trusted local weekly newspaper that has loyal customers, other locally owned and operated businesses can keep more tax
dollars here by encouraging readers to spend their money in their own community. The Ellicottville Times is published each week in an effort to archive the history of our region and its people and help to highlight why our community is an incredible place in which to live, work and play. Supporting locally owned and operated newspapers as opposed to publications owned by someone who does not live or work here seems like a nobrainer when you factor in the geography, captive audience and many other benefits that any locally owned and operated paper can provide to its customers. We thank you for your patronage, your loyalty and your respect as readers and remain grateful when local business owners choose to advertise with us.

virtual visitor’s guides, will be in Ellicottville to photograph Ellicottville from a Street View perspective. The images will be used on Google Maps, a popular online mapping site that provides street maps, satellite images, Street View panoramas and travel routes. This family-owned company has created more than 1,000 virtual tours across the Northeast and other markets across the country, and they have been on Google’s Trusted Photographers list since 2012, when the program went live. Photographers are usually invited by Google to participate. Why are they coming to Ellicottville? Adam Hilker, a senior executive with PlaceMobile Inc., said, “We chose Ellicottville because of the prior shoots we have done in the area and also that it is a nice ski town.” PlaceMobile creates virtual tours from a Google Street View perspective, as well as interior 360-degree shoots, like
a tour they created for Holiday Valley and Ellicottville Brewing Company. Hilker said, “The process of the photo shoot usually only takes about 30 minutes for a small ‘main’ street style business and longer for larger complexes. We focus primarily on the interiors of local businesses, but we do capture your town using aerial 360 photography.” Hilker said their photographic equipment isn’t anything out of the ordinary. Mainly, they use a couple cameras with wide-angle fisheye lenses on tripods to capture a 360-degree panorama. “Then after (we photograph) that, we will use Google’s server and program to ‘stitch’ and produce and moderate the images on Google Maps,” he explained. Ellicottville business owners: Here is your chance to make a great first impression. “We usually ask the towns we visit to make sure that they have everything how they want it to look on Google Maps,”
Hilker said. “This may be the only time for several years that we make this stop, so make it a good one.” And, they couldn’t have chosen a better time to capture the magic of Ellicottville, adorned with lights, festive decorations and captivating storefront windows decorated for the holidays. As for inside views, businesses whose interiors are photographed can show their customers a 360-degree inside view. You can experience an example of this by taking Holiday Valley’s virtual. Visit www.googlemaps.com and search for “Holiday Valley Ellicottville NY.” Once the page pulls up, you can click on the photo labeled “inside view” to take a tour. Just use the compass on the right to rotate your view. It’s easy and it’s fun to get a sneak peek into places you might like to visit on your next trip to Ellicottville. If you are an interested business that would like to work with PlaceMobile, you can contact them at www. placesmobile.com/googlebusiness-views to receive more information. The cost starts at $360, which Hilker said “will usually get all of a small, main streetstyle business.” Currently, many of Google Maps’ Street View images of Ellicottville date back to 2008. The village has changed so much since then, and soon visitors to Ellicottville will get an updated view at the village’s charming streets and business on Google Maps. Hilker said, “This should all be live within a couple weeks after we finish up on next Tuesday.”

all the information needed to make a longer-term decision on staffing the position. Town Supervisor John Burrell asked the board for permission to work with Hovey to immediately advertise a job opening for another full-time employee, however, in order to keep the department fully staffed and the roads plowed throughout the winter. The board approved the request, giving Burrell and Hovey responsibility for interviewing and hiring. The board also gave Burrell and Hovey permission to search for and hire a seasonal employee for the department. Seasonal employees are hired to work full time for three to six months.
Both positions are advertised in this issue of the Ellicottville Times. In related business, Burrell noted that Golley had been working on several highway and drainage projects with Town Engineer Mark Alianello. Alianello said he would brief Hovey on those projects to keep them moving. Burrell also explained that a few other transitional issues had been discovered and resolved. In addition, Golley had been researching prices for a new front-end loader, which must be purchased by the end of the year in order to keep it in the 2014 highway department budget. The board asked Hovey and Burrell to move forward and advertise for bids.
Hovey will open bids on Dec. 16 in time for board approval of the purchase at its regular Dec. 17 meeting. Finally, Burrell asked the board to form a committee to consider how to reorganize the highway department for the long term, given the current unexpected situation and the recently adopted law changing the elected position of Ellicottville highway superintendent to an appointed one. The new law, which was approved by voters in November, was intended to go into effect on Jan. 1, 2016. Board members Ken Hinman and Greg Fitzpatrick volunteered to lead the committee.

If you’ve worked, skied or boarded at Holiday Valley, you’ve probably heard of Mike Nenno, who has been a ski racing coach and event coordinator there for many years. On Sept. 8, Nenno became Holiday Valley’s full-time, terrain parks and events manager, after working there for more than 20 years on a part-time basis. Ever since he started, he’s been working diligently to get things ready for the skiing/boarding season and loving his job on the slopes. But Nenno has another passion – running very long distances. In fact, he’s a seasoned marathon runner and has run several marathons, including the Marine Corp Marathon. This year he took on the challenge of the iconic and toprated marathon in the world — the NYC Marathon on Nov. 2. “I got in via lottery,” he explained. “You pay $5 to enter the lottery and wait till February to find out if you get selected or not.” For the pleasure – or pain— of running the marathon, runners then pay a $250 entrance fee. Nenno said the experience was outstanding and he was extremely impressed by the organization and the way they managed the thousands of runners. “They do an amazing job with the organization, considering it is the largest marathon in the world, with this year’s race having 50,564 finishers,” he said. But the million dollar question is: How do you get 50,000-plus runners to the

Nenno Tackling the Streets of NYC. starting line “I took a taxi to the ferry port, and then we were taken to Staten Island, and then boarded buses for a short trip to the start line,” Nenno explained. “Due to the size of the field, they use wave starts based on your estimated finish time on three different start lines on three different roads, and then the roads all met together after 4 miles. I would estimate it took about two hours to get to the start line.” To prepare for the marathon, Nenno followed a 16-week, online training plan designed by the New York Road Runners Club. “In the end, I put in over 715 miles in training runs and in over 100 hours of running,” he said. In the end, Nenno finished with a time of 3:43:11, a little

slower than the 3:30 he had hoped to achieve. “The wind was an issue all day. There were guest of 40 mph when we were running across the Verrazano Bridge,” he explained. “I also got a slight cramp around mile 20 but was able to run through it.” Accompanying him on this journey were his wife Sally, sister-in-law Kim Potter, nephew Andy Nenno and Andy’s girlfriend, who all proudly cheered him on — along with the thousands of spectators who lined the course through the five boroughs of New York City. “This is by far the best marathon I have ever run, from the organization of the race to the crowds of people every mile of the way to the 10,000 volunteers that help you in every step of the process, from packet pickup to water stations every mile along the course to picking up your finish medal and recovery food snacks after the finish,” said Nenno. He had very few complaints other than stiffness the next day, and later in the week, he took some training runs to prepare for the Las Vegas Rock & Roll Marathon on Nov. 16 — only two weeks after NYC. He made the trip to Vegas with local Scott (Bo) Miller. “I decided to run the half marathon, but felt great and ran a personal best for the half,” said Nenno. “I felt good enough to run the full but decided not to.” It’s hard to imagine that much running in two weeks. Now, Nenno can use the slippery snow and gravity to help him get around the slopes of Holiday Valley.

OTW Presents ‘Every Christmas Story Ever Told’ This Weekend Part Vaudeville, part “Complete Works of William Shakespeare,” “Abridged, Every Christmas Story Ever Told” is a fast, furious and slightly irreverent look at the holiday classics and traditions we all remember. From Frosty to Rudolph and the Grinch to “It’s A Wonderful Life,” no pop culture holiday icon is spared in this whirlwind of holiday merriment. Santa Claus, Rudolph, the Grinch — and just about every other holiday character — make an appearance in this raucous comedy when three actors decide that rather than perform “A Christmas Carol” yet again, they’ll retell every Christmas story ever told in only 90 minutes! A madcap romp for the holiday season, this farce also features Christmas traditions from around the world plus every carol ever sung. With Frosty and Charlie Brown and George Bailey, you’ll laugh yourself all the way to the New Year. Performances take place this weekend, Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at 7:30 p.m., and Dec. 7 at 2:30 p.m., at the Washington Street Theatre, 702 Washington St., Olean, N.Y. All tickets are $10 and can be purchased by calling (716) 373-SHOW, or purchase them online at www. OleanWorkshop.org.
David W. Golley, 70 David W. Golley, 70, of Route 242, Ellicottville, passed away Dec. 2, 2014, at Olean General Hospital. He was born Jan. 1, 1944, in Salamanca, N.Y., the son of the late Floyd and Evelyn (Brown) Golley. On Sept. 12, 1964, he married the former Barbara Nitsche who survives. Mr. Golley was the Town of Ellicottville Highway Superintendent for 24 years and owned and operated Golley’s Service in Ellicottville, N.Y., from 1965 to 1985. He was a member of the Holy Name of Mary RC Church and its Usher’s Association, Ellicottville Volunteer Fire Department, WNY Harness Association, NYS Highway
Superintendent’s Association and a social member of the Ellicottville American Legion. He loved his family, his horses and his farm. Besides his loving wife, he is survived by four sons, John (Debra) Golley and James Golley, both of Ellicottville, Joseph (Jody) Golley of Corona, Calif., and Jeffery (Ruthie) Golley of Fountain Hills, Ariz.; and a daughter, Deborah (Ed) Fredrickson of Ellicottville; and nine grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Also surviving are two brothers, Duane (Diana) Golley of Allegany, N.Y., and Ronald Golley of Killbuck, N.Y.; and two sisters, Katherine Golley and Sharon Morton, both of Ellicottville; and several nieces
and nephews. He was predeceased by a brother, Dale Golley, and is survived by Dale’s wife, Anne Golley, of Ellicottville.

services including creating the store’s Shoptiques presence and providing all of that complicated back-end operations support. The site now markets almost 1,000 individual boutiques, has hundreds of thousands of customers and consistently ranks among the top online fashion shopping sites. “Shoptiques handles all of the customer service, orders, shipping logistics and credit card transactions and then emails us a UPS label, so all my staff has to do is package and send the item,” Roberts said. “They also help us develop marketing tools to build personal customer relationships in other ways. They are incredibly savvy social marketing experts who are always introducing new ways to market their customers’ products.” Shoptiques recently launched a shoppable Instagram campaign that enables shoppers to buy simply by clicking on a photo. Roberts expects to be part of this strategy, too. Gado-Gado currently has 30 or so of its clothing items
for sale on the Shoptiques site — a number that will grow significantly over the next several months. “Shoptiques has taken a lot of the trial and error of e-commerce out of the equation,” Roberts said. This means she can focus on choosing the products she wants to sell on the site. “I think this will be immensely beneficial for Gado-Gado. I’m confident that the online side of our business will never detract from the instore customer experience, but it will help us introduce our products to people who’ve never or rarely visited.” Already, she said, she’s sent orders to Texas, Florida and Rhode Island.

Gado-Gado “but was still trying to work out the logistics.” As luck would have it, Roberts got a call last summer from a Shoptiques representative who said a writer from Glamour magazine had visited the shop in Ellicottville and suggested Shoptiques get in touch. After extensive discussions, Roberts and the company decided there was a great fit. Shoptiques was launched in 2012 by a Wellesley College and Harvard Business School-educated investment banker/fashion marketing professional/model, Olga Vidisheva, who knew that small boutiques could use some help tackling e-commerce. Vidisheva created a central website for women looking for unique fashion from boutiques in Paris, London, Manhattan, Beverly Hills and, of course, Ellicottville! The company carefully curates the boutiques it represents, choosing only “the world’s best boutiques” that are known for their unique fashions and superior customer service. Once selected, the company provides a menu of

Ellicottville Times ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — St. Bonaventure University has unveiled a new undergraduate major that combines the imaginative power of creative writing with the technical skill of professional communicators. Classes in the new Professional and Creative Writing major begin in fall 2015. “The landscape for writers has changed dramatically in the past decade and a half,” said Dr. Pauline Hoffmann, dean of St. Bonaventure’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. “Writing isn’t just ink-on-paper any more. Technology has dramatically changed the way writers write and the way readers read. It has also changed the way we deliver our writing. Our new major will give students the tools and insights to thrive in that professional environment.” The Professional and Creative Writing major is a collaborative effort between the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Department of English. The course of study, which leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree, builds upon existing and new course offerings in both programs. The new major will train students to write effectively in different genres and in multiple media to respond to a variety of professional and creative needs.
“The major will give students the perspective and skills in multiple media and modes so much in demand by employers and so essential for effective creative expression in professional and creative environments,” said Dr. Patrick Panzarella, chair of the Department of English. The new major will sharpen students’ creative and professional writing abilities, while always drawing on the creative impulses that led them to the writing major in the first place. Panzarella says the “focused and intensive education” has two aims: “We want students to perfect their craft, and we want them to understand the publication process and the process of joining and sustaining creative communities,” he said. “We want to prepare students to fulfill their roles as writers in the larger world.” Opportunities for writers are everywhere, including media, business, entertainment, non-profit, and publishing industries. Aside from exploring more traditional areas of creative writing like fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, St. Bonaventure’s program offers students opportunities to explore newer areas, like video game scripting and blogging. An emphasis on digital technology is woven throughout the curriculum.
The program also has builtin a significant experiential learning component to give students real-world skills and experience in writingand publishing-related fields. Students will have the opportunity to work in oncampus media, professional internships and the seniorlevel Writers Project. Students will serve as the editorial staff for an online literary magazine that will service not only the university, but the wider Western New York community as well. “This will allows students to balance the art and the craft of writing in a way that allows them to really understand what it means to be a working writer,” said Hoffmann. The Professional and Creative Writing major draws on a St. Bonaventure tradition of writing that includes six Pulitzer Prize winners and alumni in all facets of writing and communications careers, from sportswriters and bloggers to magazine editors, public relations practitioners, news anchors, publishing executives and college professors. For more information about the major in Professional and Creative Writing, contact the university’s Office of Admissions at 1-800-4625050 or visit www.sbu.edu/ PCWriting.
