AMSOIL Snocross Premiers This Weekend Event Televised by CBS Sports BY JEFF MARTIN
Seneca Allegany Casino & Hotel is ready to host high-speed, heart-pounding snowmobile races for southwestern New York’s first-ever national circuit of events. Races will take place all day Carl Schubitzke, throughout the weekend – but the top President and Race Director of ISOC, talks professionals will race under bright about this weekend’s lights on Friday and Saturday from 6 AMSOIL Snocross, at to 9 p.m. a press conference Tickets for the events are affordably Thursday afternoon. Photo by Joelle Wolters priced, with an all-weekend pass available for $30. Daily admission is $25 for Friday, $25 for Saturday and $15 for Sunday.

Prosecutor in Burke Case by Eva Potter
If you happened tune in to the television show “48 Hours: Honor and Dishonor” on Feb. 16, then you already know that the guilty verdict of
new sport, Schutte said. After motocross became popular in the late 60s and early 70s, racers branched out in subsequent years, eventually creating snocross. For years, snow-related competition, like See Snocross page 11
Sergeant Brent Burke, a military policeman and former guard at Bagram prison, seemed nothing short of miraculous. Four previous trials had failed to convict him of murdering his wife and her mother in Kentucky on Sept. 11, 2007. After the fourth trial ended in a hung jury, Burke was released back to the military. Because the crimes were committed while Burke was on active duty, the Army took up the case and began their own investigation. The trial was headed by prosecuting attorney Lt. Col. Matt Calarco, who grew up in Ellicottville and graduated from ECS in 1991. With modesty, Lt. Col. Calarco’s brother, local resident Carl Calarco, said he feels Matt is “a good representative of our community and our town and what our school has produced. I’d like people around here to know there are a lot of people who have done a lot of good things once they left the Ellicottville area and have been very successful.” Carl, who still lives in Ellicottville, said the show was taped over a year ago and doesn’t know why this particular case was chosen to air on “48 Hours,” but he said he’s happy and proud that his brother could represent his hometown and country with honor. As the story of Burke’s crimes unfolded on the show, members of the Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG) serving as military prosecutors during the court-martial were interviewed, including Lt. Col. Calarco, although he spoke very little. Lt. Col. Calarco’s team had their work cut out for them as they sifted through four years of previous trials in order to prove Sgt. Burke murdered his wife and her mother. See Calarco page 5

For anyone who enjoys snowmobile sports, there’s nothing quite like the AMSOIL Championship Snocross Series. And for Pat Schutte, spokesman for AMSOIL, there’s nothing quite like Western New York in winter. A Michigan native, Schutte is full of nothing but praise when it comes to the area and its generous supply of cold and snow — and snowmobile trails. “The main reason we’re here — it’s just a snowmobilefriendly region,” Schutte said a few days before several hundred snocross racers descend on the Seneca Allegany Casino and Hotel parking lot. “There’s already a huge built in fan base here.” The snocross event in Salamanca, to begin on Friday, Feb. 22 and conclude Sunday, Feb. 23 is one of eight national events on the AMSOIL Series schedule, which takes professional snowmobilers to North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and New York. This is the first time a championship series of this magnitude has been held in the Buffalo area. The event will be televised nationally by CBS Sports. On Monday, crews were busy forging the track through the giant mound of snow in the casino parking lot. The giant machine, similar to a bobcat, snaked its way up and down the mound, creating a course that will deliver racers into mid-air launches — much the same way motocross racers have thrilled fans for decades. John Damon, who was walking across the parking lot on Monday after having dinner at the casino, stopped and watched track preparations. “Should be really cool,” he said. A Collins resident, Damon said he snowmobiles with his cousin when he gets the chance. Racing in this capacity, however, isn’t tempting; he plans on coming to the show, though. “I already have a few friends planning to come with me.” As many as 15 snowmobiles will be on the track at one time. Approximately 50 practice,
Ellicottville Town Board ECS, Nannen Arboretum Committee Heard By Jann Wiswall
Ellicottville Supervisor John Burrell began the Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013, Ellicottville Town Board meeting with some good news: Ellicottville received a letter from New York State Assemblyman Joe Giglio stating that the town will receive $82,021 from the State’s Consolidated Local Street and Highway Program (CHIPS) and $7,425 from the State’s Aid and Incentives for Municipalities program. This announcement was followed by two presentations from the public. The first, Ellicottville School
Board Member Carl Calarco described the proposed school capital improvement plan. He explained that 85 percent of the project is related to maintenance and renovation of the sections of the building constructed more than 50 years ago in 1962. The remaining 15 percent – including a 100’ x 50’ addition – is a practical and cost-effective way to create a multi-purpose gymnasium that can safely accommodate sports, performances, graduations, etc., and provides updated locker and restroom facilities for students. Calarco also explained that
65 percent of the approximately $9.9 million project would be funded by the state. Three percent will be covered by the district’s capital reserve. The last 32 percent (about $3.5 million) would cost taxpayers roughly $16 to $42 a year per $100,000 in assessed property value, depending on the owner’s STAR rating. Calarco and School Board Chair Roger Spell pointed out that if the project is voted down, the district will still have to do some $5 million in repairs without state aid. So voting against the project See ECS Town page 7
Mansfield Board Approves Highway Barn Plans By Jann Wiswall
Since its last monthly meeting, the Town of Mansfield board has been busy working with Town Engineer Mark Alianello on drafting and finalizing plans for the new highway barn that will replace the old barn that burned down in October 2012. At its meeting Monday, Feb. 18, 2013, the board approved the final version of the plans and passed a motion to advertise for bids. The bids being requested at this time include: Contract No. 1 for a pre-engineered
metal building; Contract No. 2 for new concrete floor slab; Contract No. 3 for concrete materials only for floor slab; and Contract No. 4 for new overhead doors. Depending on pricing, the town will select either Contract No. 2 or No. 3. If the materials-only bid is accepted, the town will subcontract out the flooring installation on its own. Bids will be opened at a special meeting of the board at 7 p.m. on March 11. While the cost of the new 60-foot by 180-foot barn is
still to be determined, initial estimates put it in the $540,000 -$650,000 range. The insurance settlement should cover approximately $360,000 of that. The town likely will have to borrow a portion of the difference. Town Supervisor Bob Keis reviewed monies received and expected from the insurance company in detail at the meeting, saying that the total received to date is $874,739, which probably represents about 75 percent of the final See Mansfield Plans page 10

Ellicottville Times Past and the winter still has another month or so to run,” said Chief Observer John A. Fenton. The Ellicottville Post newspaper reported on Feb. 17, 1943, “Normally six to eight feet of snow during the winter is considered about average for Cattaraugus County.”
The U.S. Weather Bureau Station at the County Highway Department office recorded from Oct. 27, 1942 to Feb. 16, 1943, exactly 140.3 inches of snowfall. “This is almost 12 feet of snow — 11.7 feet to be exact —

If the buyer takes out a mortgage, the two most important documents he’ll sign are the note and mortgage. Although they are two separate documents, they act together. The note is, in effect, an “I Owe You” to the lender; it spells out the terms of repayment, including the interest rate, the length of the loan, and the amount of your monthly payments. The mortgage identifies the collateral that secures the note; most often, the collateral is the property you are buying. Whereas the note speaks to the terms of repayment, the mortgage outlines the lender’s expectations of how the property will be maintained by the buyer. Since the lender wants to ensure that its investment maintains its value during the course of the loan, the terms of the mortgage usually require the buyer to keep the property in good repair and to stay current on tax, note and insurance payments. If the buyer defaults on the loan or under the terms of the mortgage – essentially devaluing the property – the bank is entitled to foreclose and sell the property to recoup some or all of its losses. Lenders also typically
require a buyer to sign two IRS forms – a W-9 and a 4506-T. The W-9 is requested by the lender to obtain the buyer’s correct social security number or tax identification number for the purpose of reporting the mortgage interest she paid. The 4506-T allows the lender to request transcripts of the buyer’s tax returns. Lenders state that they use the transcripts to check the income reported by the buyer on his loan application against his tax returns. Please consult a reputable accountant for advice on the tax consequences of these forms. Federal law also requires a lender to provide the buyer with a Truth in Lending Disclosure Statement; most importantly, this document divulges the amount the loan “costs” the buyer in interest. Although lender requirements vary, these are the primary documents that a buyer will see at closing if she applied for a mortgage. Both buyers and sellers, or their agents, sign the New York Real Property Transfer Report, Form RP-5217. This form
provides all of the relevant property information – buyer and seller’s names, purchase price, acreage, date of sale, property class, and use of the property. You will find a copy of this report scanned and saved on the Cattaraugus County Clerk’s Real Property website at http://www.cattco.org/realproperty-and-gis. This website is one of the best real property sites in New York, providing users with access to interactive maps and very useful property information.
What Should A Buyer Bring to Closing? The buyer doesn’t usually need to bring anything to closing except funds required to purchase. The buyer should check with his attorney’s office to determine the exact amount necessary and the acceptable form of payment.

ALLEGANY State Park Peak-season trail conditions this weekend!
Motorized Sleds Popular Southern Tier Pastime by Eva Potter
Motor-powered sleds have been around since the early 1900s, but it was in 1954, that the grandfather of modernday snowmobiles was born. That’s when David Johnson, Paul Knochenmus and Orlen Johnson, employees of Hetteen Hoist and Derrick Shop in Roseau, Minn., made the first concept snowmobile using a grain silo conveyor belt for the track and an old Chevy car bumper for the skis. While the original concept model, made on company time, didn’t impress their boss Edgar Hetteen, the second model, the Polaris Sno Traveler, hit the mark and in 1956 the first production model rolled off the assembly line in Minnesota. Originally designed to make hunting locations more accessible, today’s snowmobiles offer another way to enjoy the great outdoors during the winter months and what better way to explore Cattaraugus County’s 350-plus
miles of scenic trails. One ideal place to snowmobile is on the 90-plus miles of trails in Allegany State Park (ASP). The park has a reputation for the most well-groomed areas for snowmobiling in the county. When you get cold, stop at the Red House Administration Building’s restaurant inside the park, which is open year round for a quick meal and warm-up. If you don’t want to go it alone in the park, join one of the nine snowmobile clubs in Cattaraugus County and enjoy the camaraderie while exploring interesting nooks and crannies you might not see any other way. “The area clubs belong to the Cattaraugus County Federation of Snowmobiles,” according to Jim Johnson of the Enchanted Mountain Border Riders Snowmobile Club. “Each club is like a little kingdom having total control over its trail system, which normally
Senior Night • Deb Golley photos
connects with adjoining clubs’ trails to form the trail system in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Wyoming counties.” According to Mark Pasternak, president of the Franklinville Snowmobile Club, Cattaraugus County trails are created and maintained by the nine clubs in the county and are always officially marked. You do not need permission to access another club’s trail system. Pasternak said he is very grateful for the landowners who have allowed snowmobile trails to cross their land. “Without our landowners we would not have a trail system. Our landowners are very good to us,” Pasternak said. Please remember, it is illegal to ride on posted and private property without permission. It is also very important to follow and obey all trails signs and to understand New York’s snowmobile laws. Snowmobiles must be
registered through the Department of Motor Vehicles and insured just like a vehicle. Also, out-of-state snowmobiles must be registered in NYS. Ellicottville Village Constable Howard Gifford said snowmobiles are not allowed to ride on railroad property. If snowmobile operators are caught riding along the railroad tracks, they can be issued violations under railroad law. In the Village of Ellicottville, Gifford said, “We have an actual ordinance that bars (snowmobiles) from using the sidewalks and the streets in conjunction with the state law. New York State Law says they’re not allowed to drive on state highways or any other highway.” Gifford said the Village of Ellicottville closed their routes several years back but never barred snowmobiles or banned them from the village. “All we did was close the routes, because of a few people
that were running past houses at 3 a.m., cutting across yards, running over brush, bushes, flowers,” he said. Snowmobilers are still allowed into the village from the main gate at Fitzpatrick & Weller to get gas from Kwik Fill. Riders out and about in the county can also get gas in Little Valley, Randolph and other towns. Rick Jackson of the Ilex Inn has always welcomed snowmobilers and had a family of five stay at the inn earlier this year. He said they rode 95 miles from Rochester to get to Ellicottville. If the trails are
open, Jackson said “they can snowmobile in or they can trailor (the snowmobiles) in.” It’s important to check the condition of trails and to make they’re open before heading out. Jackson said a guest who was traveling from Cleveland to the Ilex Inn only got as far as South Dayton, because the trails were closed and had to turn around and go back. Lack of snow has been a challenge this winter. To get a free area snowmobile trail map, just call 1-800-3310543. For more information about snowmobiling in New York State, visit www. nysnowmobiler.com.
Allegany Trail Condition Information Report The summit area received another 5 inches of snow last night and the winds have subsided which has made for excellent skiing conditions. The groomers hit the trails yesterday clearing downed trees and setting track. The groomers are back on the trails today rolling and setting tracks with the LMC CAT. The conditions now are probably the best they have been since the storm between Christmas and New Years. This could be the peak of the season. The warming hut opens at 8:00 AM each day. Come ski in the Park! Please contact Quaker Rental office for more information. 716-354-2182 For current snowmobile or cross country trail conditions, call (716) 945-0523.

Mayors to Deliver Meals
By Jeff Martin
Ellicottville Mayor Charlie Coolidge enjoys the political aspect of his job, but he enjoys serving meals maybe even more. As he has done for the past eight years, Mayor Coolidge plans to accompany a representative for the Meals on Wheels program on March 20 and deliver what is oftentimes taken advantage of among many people — including himself — a meal. “It’s a great chance to get out and see people and talk with them,” he said. “It’s also a chance to help those who need it the most.” Depending exclusively on volunteers, the Meals on Wheels program is designed to help senior citizens maintain a regular routine of meals, which are delivered to their homes each day. Like other local area legislators, Mayor Coolidge will spend a couple of hours in
March helping deliver meals to those who don’t have the means to cook them or seek them out on their own. Some recipients are old friends Mayor Coolidge hasn’t seen in years, and each year he is surprised to encounter someone from his past. “There have been many times when I see someone I haven’t seen in a long time, and it gives you a chance to catch up,” he said. While the benefit of delivering meals seems insignificant overall, Mayor Coolidge stresses that the service it provides, at least for him, helps him appreciate his village even more than he already does — and consequently helps him serve as mayor, an office he has held for 15 years. “It does open your eyes about what’s needed around the village,” he said. Mayor Coolidge swears he
doesn’t talk politics with those he serves; however, as he drives from home to home, sometimes into areas he has not traveled in a while, he discovers sections of the village that need a little local government attention. “You see areas that need improving, like roads,” he said. “You get an idea of which need more attention than others, things like that.” During the approximate two hours he spends delivering meals, Mayor Coolidge delivers about 12 meals. And while he is mayor, he said he plans on participating each year, as he encourages everyone he comes into contact with. “I encourage everyone to volunteer in the program,” he said. “Meals on Wheels always needs volunteers.” For more information about volunteering, visit www. mowbuffalo.com.

Lt. Col. Matt Calarco Cont. from Front Page
While interviewed by “48 Hours” correspondent Richard Schlesinger, Lt. Col. Calarco said the toughest part of a case like this was that it was four years old, “and it was mostly circumstantial evidence and when you put all that together it certainly makes for a difficult case.” Because military verdicts do not have to be unanimous, the jury was able to reach a guilty verdict for both murders in less than 10 days. Burke is now serving life in prison without parole. In his years as a JAG prosecutor, Lt. Col. Calarco has been involved in numerous high-profile cases. It took many years to attain his rank and his education at ECS, no doubt, served as a solid foundation. “Matt was very active in the school and the community, always, as was my family,” said Carl. “He played sports year round— football, basketball, golf. He had a lot of jobs here and there, and was always working in the summer when he could. He worked for the youth program for a couple summers at the park and spent a lot of time at Holiday Valley skiing and swimming. He was just very involved, including the Drama Club, National Honor Society, band and chorus.” Upon graduation from ECS, Lt. Col. Calarco attended the United States Military Academy at West Point. “Matt was selected for Big 30 football team, but didn’t end up playing because he had to leave for the academy weeks after

graduation and has been in the Army ever since,” said Carl. Upon graduation from West Point, he had to serve five years as payback to the military. Halfway through this period, he was offered the opportunity to go to law school at the University of Buffalo through the Army. Carl said, “It was something Matt had wanted to do anyway, so he pursued his law degree, but he had to give back two years of service for every year of law school, which was six years. At that point, he had already spent 11 years in the military and his path had become a career.” Since graduating from law school, Lt. Col. Calarco has served as a JAG attorney for the Army. As he continued moving up through the ranks, he became more involved with difficult cases like Burke’s, and in April 2012, he was promoted to his current rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Although he does not know the exact nature of his work there, his brother said Lt. Col. Calarco, now age 39, is currently in Afghanistan. He will be returning stateside in June when he will be stationed in Charlottesville, Va., and will be Director of the Criminal Law Division of the Army’s JAG school at the University of Virginia. By Carl’s estimate, his brother has about two years before he can retire, at which time he can opt to stay in the military or retire and begin a new chapter in his life with his wife and kids.
ECS Board Approves Capital Project Public Vote Slated for Tuesday, March 19th
By Mark J. Ward, Superintendent
On January 22, 2013, at the regular meeting of the ECS Boardof Education, the board unanimously approved a $9,845,800 capital project vote to be held on Tuesday, March 19th from 1–8 p.m. Over the past months dating back into the 2011-12 school year, the board has reviewed the District’s Building Condition Survey, had discussions with our engineers, sought financial
projections from our fiscal advisors, conducted public meetings and thoroughly examined the facilities. While initially the “wish list” was much larger, we felt that it was important to address the most pressing needs with a cost effective project that would bring our facilities up to 2013 standards. The board has carefully worked with our planners to design a project that takes our current “building footprint”
and reconfigures the space to reflect the needs of 21st century learners. What was appropriate and state of the art in 1962 does not meet the standard in 2013. We recognize that the community cannot afford an auditorium, but we believe we can improve our facilities in a way that will allow us to construct a multiuse gymnasium that can host athletic contests, concerts, assemblies, award banquets, testing, community programs and other special performances. The renovated gym will feature air conditioning, movable bleachers with seating for 780 on one side and a stage inside the gym (like the1887 Building), and 392 of the seats will have backs that will provide more comfortable seating for all events held in the gym. The playing surface of the gym will be enlarged to meet the floor standards of today with more area on the sides and behind the baskets for safety. The multi-use facility will have improved seating, better lighting and sound, while providing a place that
can showcase our students and programs. There will be a movable wall that will separate the gym from the stage. The stage area will also be used as a large-group instruction room for distance learning, on-line learning and computer instruction. New and larger band and chorus rooms will be positioned on either side of the stage in a portion of the current gyms pace. The project will also include 100-foot by 50-foot of new space on the back of the gym that will primarily house modern, updated locker rooms. Other Project Highlights: Lighting in both parking lots to address safety issues Removal of original hall lockers Relocate and expand
weight room for student and community use Asbestos removal Handicap accessibility issues will be addressed New lighting, fixtures, ceilings and flooring in all 1962 classrooms Electrical service upgrades in older portion of building Replace some roofing Address moisture, ventilation and air flow issues in the elementary wing Replace lighting on football/ soccer field — originally installed in 1977 The project is designed to

meet the 21stcentury needs of our students. The facilities will allow us to provide our students and community with a multiuse facility that will allow us to feature a variety of uses for the reconfigured space. This project will place our district in a strong position for the future by allowing us to modernize our facilities, maintain strong academic programs, offer opportunities for our students and continue providing the family-type atmosphere that is a signature of the Ellicottville Central School.

Turning 50 Never Felt So Good HoliMont Ski Area prides itself on having a deep-rooted sense of tradition while also keeping a strong focus on the future. On Saturday, February 16th, 350 HoliMont Members and friends came together to celebrate HoliMont’s storied fifty-year history at the 50th Anniversary Gala. The story of how HoliMont got to this point is long and very interesting. In 1961, after a small handful of gentlemen decided that they wanted to start a ski hill where they could take ownership of the logistics of the area, bring their families and friends, and watch their children grow up on the slopes, Holiday Mountain Ski Club was formed. The name Holiday Mountain was soon merged to make HoliMont so as not to create any confusion with our neighbors, Holiday Valley. Bill Merk, Jack Swanson, Ted Tarbell, and Walt Brownell (the Club’s first President) worked tirelessly on the daunting task of getting a ski area up and running. Even in the days before highspeed detachable quads, terrain parks, Piston Bully groomers, and Pole Cat snow making machines; the planning that was involved in starting up a ski area was more than any of the men originally imagined. However, through much determination and tenacious planning, the plans to get HoliMont up and running began to take shape. The goal was to create a place that valued good, safe and economical skiing where families would want to spend their winters. The first trail was cut in 1961 and then in ’62 seven more were added. And just like that, the history of HoliMont officially began. With eight slopes primed for skiing, the small group of Member’s were thrilled to finally have a place to get their skiing desires filled. Originally, all skiers had to take their skis off at the bottom of the hill and put them in on a sled that was attached to the back of a newly acquired Tucker Snow Cat. The Snow Cat would then take the people and their gear to the top of the hill where they could begin their descent back to the bottom again. Clearly, a ski lift was in order. The Club decided to finance the purchase of what would become the original Exhibition lift, through Buffalo Bank. Financing was
available at the time only because the original investors used their personal credit to secure the loan. Construction of the lift towers began in 1963 and the lift began to operate in February of 1964. This made for a much easier means of transportation up the hill and established HoliMont as an area that was looking towards the future. Eventually, more property became available and HoliMont began the process of expansion. The funding for expansion was made possible by opening the Club up to new Member’s. As more people began to join the Club, the main Chalet was expanded along with the parking lot. At that time, and still to this day, après ski parties were and are

Get to Know: Dave Poulin
Title: Sculptor A Few Facts: “My job is to tell stories,” said Dave Poulin. “Sculptures don’t talk or move, but they must tell stories in order to be meaningful.” Poulin has been creating life-sized bronze sculptures, generally of human figures, for more than 25 years. He has more than 120 bronzes in public spaces all over the world, and you may have seen many of them in western New York. There’s the Korean War Memorial at Niagara University – one of his largest public pieces. It is composed of three figures installed in a walkable, specially landscaped space on campus. It tells a story about the university’s ROTC
program in the 1950s. There’s the Underground Railroad tableau in Jamestown’s Dow Park. The piece features three figures depicting a runaway slave finding safety at the home of freed slave Catherine Harris with the aid of white blacksmith Silas Shearman. There are the two figure skaters and three hockey players at the entrance to the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena. There’s a piece at Griffis Sculpture Park in Cattaraugus County and dozens of others at public schools all around the region. Plus, he has done numerous sculptures for individuals’ private homes. While he always has done
his art and kept a studio, Poulin started his career as a middle school art teacher in Olean. While there, he was working on his Master of Fine Arts degree at Alfred University and teaching sculpture part time at Jamestown Community College. After completing his MFA, he joined the faculty at St. Bonaventure University (SBU) and became chair of the department of visual and performing arts – a department that he created. Dave is married to Connie Poulin, principal of Ellicottville Elementary School. They have a 3-year-old son. He is building a large new studio in Humphrey, N.Y. Q: Tell me about your creative process. A: Before you start a sculpture, especially for a public space, there’s an amazing amount of discussion and research that takes place. You have to bring all the diverse interests together and find the common idea. Most people don’t know how to describe the idea visually, so it’s my job to pull all that information together, do the research and come up with a concept that meets everyone’s needs and tells the story. With some of my more complicated commissions, it has taken years to get from the initial idea to the unveiling. Once the concept is approved, the process of building the sculptures can take nine months or more. I start with making the clay model – the head, torso, arms, legs and other elements each are formed separately. That’s the fun and truly creative part. It’s also very exacting, getting the musculature, joints, facial expressions, hair, clothing and other details exactly right. The clay is covered with plaster to create a mold. Then the clay is removed and replaced with wax. Each wax form is dipped once a day See interVeiws page 7
an important part of the HoliMont lifestyle. For just $2 a person, Member’s enjoyed drinks and homemade hors d’oeuvres. This get-together, festive mentality was put on full display at the 50th Gala. This sold out, formal attire affair turned out to be the party of the season at HoliMont as Members and their guests showed up to the Chalet dressed to the nines and looking to have a good time. As soon as the ski day ended, HoliMont Social Committee, along with the great staff at Dina’s at the ‘Mont and HoliMont employees transformed the Chalet into a place worthy of a black tie affair. Decorated with a gold theme, the Chalet provided a relaxed atmosphere where people were able to eat, drink, dance and socialize throughout the entire evening. From a nostalgic standpoint the opening ceremonies were done by longtime Member’s Evan and Joyce Evans, who have seen the Club evolve over the duration of its existence. Scotty Lavtar and Pete Widger, both former HoliMont General Managers, were introduced by the present General Manger, Dave Riley and the two gentlemen gave speeches about their time running HoliMont. Current Club President Al Mahar spoke about his history with the Club and how excited he is for the future. The history of HoliMont was on full display every time these men took to the microphone. In terms of entertainment, The Party Squad, complete with a brass horn section, absolutely rocked the Chalet. The tunes spanned the ages in their diversity and at one point or another everyone was out on the dance floor. The grand finale, so to speak, of the entertainment was an explosive display of fireworks that lit up the brisk night sky and could be seen from miles around. The event could not have gone better and was a testament to the strength and dedication of the HoliMont Membership. The past 50 years have obviously had their ups and downs but through it all the ski area has continued to evolve. The WestMont Ridge expansion project auction that is taking place on February 23rd is a prime example of this. So a HoliMont celebrates its 50th it is doing so with excitement for what the future will bring.
The Real Life Oscars On Sunday evening approximately 40 million people will tune in to the 85th edition of the Academy Awards to watch excited television commentators stalk the red carpet in search of Hollywood stars in order to ask the question the world needs to know: “Who are you wearing?” “Who?” As if last year’s losers who took their lives in defeat are now draped over the bodies of this year’s hopefuls?!? What a dumb thing to say when everybody knows the real question should be: “Whom are you wearing?” Millions will watch the Oscars to see how many times Samuel L. Jackson will use the f-word. At least five million people will be glued to their sets to see if Joaquin Phoenix can possibly get any weirder. And I will be watching for a bare-legged Peewee Herman sitting in the front row wearing sun glasses and a raincoat and hoping for a Halle Berry wardrobe malfunction. All together now: “I’ve got mirrors on the toes of my shoes.” Here then are this year’s Oscar nominees adjusted slightly for the sake of reality. Lincoln. Vowing enough is enough, Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States can no longer tolerate the superiority of white men, the inequity of class structure, the rampant corruption and the bald-faced arrogance of those appointed to power so he mounts “Old Bob” and rides north to Ottawa where he abolishes the Canadian Senate. Former CTV journalist and senator from PEI Mike Duffy is played by French actor Gerard Depardieu. Zero Dark Thirty. A gripping and hair-trigger real-life account of the search and assassination of the world’s number one terrorist Osama bin Laden by a crack team of Navy Seals. Cooped up with three wives in a concrete bunker for five years, unable to leave the premises, it is now widely believed that it was Osama bin Laden himself who called in the Navy Seals.
A m o u r . An intimate and touching portrayal of the agelessness of love sees an 85-year-old woman fall in love all over again with the man who can still activate his clapper, if you know what I mean. The Parisian apartment building in which they live is played by Gerard Depardieu. Django Unchained. In a jolly good romp through the wild west of slavery, director Quentin Tarantino uses exploding body parts, bits of flying brain and gushers of blood to prove yet again he and he alone in Hollywood is uniquely qualified to spend $100 million to make audiences everywhere puke. The last hour of Django Unchained makes Pulp Fiction look like a public service announcement for gun control. Flight. In a thriller at 36,000 feet “Whip” Whitaker played by Denzel Washington is a talented but out of control airline pilot who snorts cocaine and tosses back vodka just before he rolls a passenger plane upside down and crash lands it, saving the lives of 102 passengers. Think Sully Sullivan without The Birds. “Whip” pays for his evil ways later in the staff lounge when he is decked by a surly and heavily-unionized Air Canada stewardess named Candice. The A320 airline is played by an inverted Gerard Depardieu. Les Miserables. Angry at watching years of human misery and tears of contrition in interviews with Lance Armstrong, David Letterman, Ellen Degeneres and Tom Cruise – Pope Benedict XVI resigns acknowledging that Oprah Winfrey has cornered the world market on confessions. Mourns the Pope in anguish: “I can’t even get Berlusconi to go to mass!” Oprah not only turns down the Vatican’s offer to be the next Pope, she schedules her interview with O.J. Simpson on April 15th in order to ruin Pope Benedict’s enedict’s farewell address.

The Real Blade Runner. Ridley’s Scott long-awaited sequel passes on Harrison Ford as his lead and instead follows the career of a robotic Olympic sprinter. Set in a dystopian world of evil robots and tyrannical drones, Oscar Pistorius is astonishingly enough charged with the murder of his model girlfriend. Out on bail. Pistorius makes a run for it and is last seen clearing the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco at 65 miles per hour. The movie ends in court where Pistorius is being sued by Forest Gump for theft of intellectual property. Best Exotic Carnival cruise. After a fire paralyzes a 14-story cruise liner, 4200 passengers are put through a five-day rigorous survival course in which they learn how to poop in plastic bags and tinkle in sinks. When the midnight buffet is cancelled, they believe their harrowing situation could not possibly get worse. When a sister ship, the Costa Concordia comes to the rescue with Captain Francisco Schettino at the wheel, the passengers throw a Bon Voyage party serving themselves KoolAid laced with cyanide. Argo. In a fast-paced hostage thriller, truth is tossed out the window of an embassy in Tehran as director Ben Affleck impugns the legacy of Ken Taylor, the Canadian ambassador to Iran and the hero who saved the lives of six American hostages. Ignoring Canada’s heroic role in securing the Americans survival and safe passage out of the middle of an Islamic revolution, Affleck chooses instead to shoot the false story of a low-level CIA braggart, turning an actual historic event into a two-hour clown class. Actually, that’s pretty much what happened here. For comments, ideas and copies of The True Story of Wainfleet, go to www.williamthomas.ca

Penguin Paddle Saturday Feb. 23 The Penguin Paddle, the annual fundraiser for Holiday Valley’s Lounsbury Adaptive Program, is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 23. The main event is a race by age group in which kids and grownups alike climb inside of garbage bags and slide on their bellies “penguin style” down the lower section of the Yodeler slope to the finish line. The Lounsbury Adaptive Ski Program was founded 25 years ago to honor the memory of Bill Lounsbury, a Holiday Valley Ski Patrol member who lost a leg to cancer in the 1980s. Lounsbury, who soon taught himself to ski on one leg, died of the disease in 1988, and donations came to the Ski Patrol as memorials. These funds were used to establish this non-profit organization that teaches disabled children and adults about the joys of skiing. Since its inception, hundreds of mentally and physically disabled individuals have taken lessons with volunteers who are specially trained in adaptive ski teaching methods. Fundraising efforts such as the Penguin Paddle support the purchase and maintenance of specialized equipment, instructor education and public awareness. Visit www.holidayvalley.com, or call (716) 699-2345.

for 12 days into a ceramic mixture. The new ceramic mold is fired in a kiln to allow it to harden and the wax to melt out. Next, the metal is melted (at 2000 degrees F) and poured into the ceramic molds. The ceramic shells are knocked off with a hammer, the metal is sandblasted and the pieces are welded together. The welds are meticulously ground and smoothed, then patinas (chemicals used to create colors) are applied and the sculpture is complete. Next the installation begins. Some pieces sit on bases that I design and build, others are placed within a carefully designed outdoor space – like the Niagara University piece for which we have paths,
benches, a map of Korea drawn into concrete, landscaping and even a large rock that we brought over from Korea. I am one of very few bronze sculptors in the country who does all of the foundry work in-house. Most other artists contract out that work. Q: What prompted you to leave teaching? A: I love teaching, and truly it’s a passion, but in 1997 I decided I wanted to do three things: make art full time, teach outside the confines of traditional settings and travel. So I left SBU, studied a lot about business and marketing, set up a studio in Jamestown and went out on my own. I’m happy to say I achieved all three goals. My work has been featured in dozens of galleries, exhibitions and magazines around the country. I have done public art projects for cities, universities and many other entities. And, I’ve been invited to teach seminars and workshops all over the U.S. and the world – France, Germany, Japan, China, Brazil. However, I’m still very much a teacher, and I still work as a visiting artist in the

schools. I’m working now on a project at Portville (N.Y.) Elementary School taking the kids through the entire sculpture-making process. I had the kids each write a story about something they love about the “great outdoors,” selected one and brainstormed with the kids about what they thought the sculpture should look like. Then we started building the clay model. Every child in the school was able to help with the clay, learning all the while about anatomy, scale, dimensions, etc. It’s a great way to bring creative writing, science, math and other concepts together in a visual and fun way that makes sense to children. Q: Which artists have most inspired you? A: Of the artists of the past, Michelangelo and, of course, Rodin – the master of the bronze figurative sculpture. I know it sounds corny, but I’d have to say my 3-year-old son Nigel is my greatest inspiration today. There’s so much I want him to learn. He inspires me to challenge myself even more.

Ken Brown 700 Club Fundraiser March 2
Next Saturday, March 2 at Holiday Valley’s Yodeler Pavilion,, the Ken Brown 700 Club once again invites the community to join them in celebrating life in royal Ken Brown style and help others while doing so. All money raised at this fundraiser will go to local charities and organizations. Events of the day start with lots of food and beverages for only a $6 donation. You can also look forward to a live auction with Bob McCarthy. Ken Brown died last February leaving us with hearts overflowing with warm memories of the times we shared with him. He was a true lover of life. Though a humble man, Ken loved little pranks that left people shaking their heads. He had a wacky sense of humor with little gags that we often
believed until we heard his “ha ha ha.” Ken loved outrageous and brightly colored outfits. He was an avid skier and could be recognized on the hill by his two different colored ski boots, vivid ski clothes and hats. They called him the “King” because of his many appearances as King of the Winter Carnival. We called him King because he was our leader, mentor, friend and family. There was no joking around when it came to helping others. You never heard Ken say a bad word to or about anyone. Ken loved people and would do anything to help them, which included literally giving his coat to a cold homeless person. In 2001, Ken organized the 700 Club with his ski buddies and budgirls who had reached the venerable age of 70.
The first year there were 10 members, hence the 700 Club. Membership has since grown to over 50 in 2013. The club’s only purpose is summed up in their motto “Help Us Help Others.” They do this by holding a fundraiser each year with the proceeds going to a variety of local organizations. Ken’s legacy of loving life and helping others will live on as long as those he touched carry on his example of caring for others. Join the Ken Brown 700 Club on Saturday, March 2 and help them help others. Outrageous, colorful clothing is not required but will be a tribute Ken would love. Any individual or organization that would like to donate an item for the auction please call (716) 945-1176.

would cost taxpayers more, and, as Town Board Member John Northrop pointed out, “we’d get a lot less.” The referendum will take place March 19 from 1-8 p.m. in the Elementary School Foyer. The board next heard a presentation from Pat Kerl, a member of the Nannen Arboretum Committee. Kerl, accompanied by several other committee members, described the funding of the Arboretum and its operation. Given the fact that it is now owned by the town, Kerl pointed out that its non-profit status is likely to end. She presented questions regarding implications of the ownership change, including how policies and procedures would be determined, who on the board would serve as liaison to the committee, how the property will be maintained, etc. Burrell agreed that all these issues needed to be promptly addressed, and that he would add it to next month’s board
meeting agenda. Following the presentations, Burrell brought up some other issues related to the town’s ownership of the Extension Service Building. He reported that he is still discussing a possible move of the courts offices to the building. Locks have been changed, and a search for a part-time facilities manager for the property needs to begin. Board Member Steve Crowley suggested that a job description be developed and advertised and that the board should hold a special meeting to discuss the other details of this new project. The meeting was scheduled for March 6 at 6 p.m. at the Extension Service
Building. Burrell also proposed that the board think about whether the town and village should discuss expansion of their joint fire department coverage arrangement to include the Town of Mansfield. The idea was prompted by the expansion plans at HoliMont, which is located in Mansfield but is physically closer to Ellicottville’s fire department. The board agreed that Burrell should discuss the idea with Mansfield’s supervisor and board. Department Head Reports: Police Officer Don Auge reported that his department’s new radios have been installed and that the new police vehicle should be arriving soon. Highway Department Head Dave Golley said the new maintenance garage is nearly complete, with drywall finishing and painting scheduled to begin this week. Town Engineer Mark See Town Board page 10

ECS Drama Club Presents ‘Bye Bye Birdie’
Performances March 22-23 in Salamanca
Another year, another awesome show for the ECS Drama Club, which is presenting “Bye Bye Birdie” on Friday and Saturday, March 22 and 23. The performances will start at 7:30 PM in the Salamanca Central School auditorium. Tickets will be available at the door for $6. Cast members in this year’s production include Courtney Antholzner, Katie Barry, Doug Bliss, Mary Bohn, Macie Boyko, Noah Butler, Bre Coolidge, Alex Delity, Nick Delity, Hannah Doro, Paige Enderby, Alessia Filutze, Tanner Gregory, Kaleigh Hunt, Philip Kurtis, Colleen McClure, Mickala Michaels, Liam O’Rourke, Quinn O’Rourke, Max Paddock, Ciara Peters, Allison Raecher, Jocelyn Steffan, Hunter Steffenhagen, Cory Tomblin, Shelby Toth, Olivia Venezia, Calum Watt, Elizabeth Wendel, Leah Westfall, Aidan Wilson, Stone Wilson and
Molly Woodarek. The show is directed by Jaye Zelko and Pat Waldron, choreography by Elizabeth Weber and is produced by Crystal Wilder. Spoiler alert! Do not read on if you’d rather be surprised. “Bye Bye Birdie” is a satire that takes place in 1958 and centers around an Elvis Presley-type rock and roll superstar, Conrad Birdie (Quinn O’Rourke), who is drafted into the army. His agent and songwriter Albert Peterson (Calum Watt) and Albert’s secretary and love interest Rosie Alvarez (Bre Coolidge) plan a farewell performance for Birdie on the Ed Sullivan television show, which they hope will provide the publicity to sell his new song “One Last Kiss” and bring Albert’s company out of debt. At the conclusion of the performance, Birdie will give a real kiss to a lucky girl from his fan club. The lucky girl, randomly chosen, is Kim MacAfee

(Ciara Peters) from Sweet Apple, Ohio, and is a avid member of the local Conrad Birdie Fan Club. Albert and Rosie come to Sweet Apple to prepare for Birdie’s arrival and things begin to unravel. Kim’s father Harry MacAfee (Tanner Gregory) begins to get excited about the thought of being on the Ed Sullivan Show with his daughter, and Kim’s new steady Hugo Peabody (Alex Delity) starts to get jealous by the thought of Kim kissing Birdie on national television. After Birdie’s arrival in Sweet Apple, things continue to come undone as Birdie’s charms enrage Hugo to punch him out on national television as he embraces to kiss Kim. Later, Birdie confesses that he is tired of show business and goes out on the town with the kids to show them how to party. This leads to Birdie’s arrest. Meanwhile, Rosie is getting tired of waiting for Albert to propose and figures that eight years is long enough. She is also tired of Albert’s domineering mother Mae Peterson (Olivia Venezia) who is constantly interfering in their relationship. Rosie goes out on the town and stumbles into a Shriner’s meeting, leading to a humorous ballet sequence. The show ends with Albert bailing Birdie out of jail prompting Birdie to ask Albert to be his agent forever as he gets on the train to New York for his induction into the army. Kim and Hugo make up as Hugo proposes to Kim, and Albert finally decides to propose to Rosie to tie up the remaining romantic knot before the show’s finale.

“Goodbye for Now”
by Laurie Frankel Sam Elling works for an internet dating company, but he still can’t get a date. So he creates an algorithm that will match you with your soul mate. Sam meets the love of his life, a coworker named Meredith, but he also gets fired when the company starts losing all their customers to Mr. and Ms. Right. When Meredith’s grandmother, Livvie, dies suddenly, Sam uses his ample free time to create a computer program that will allow Meredith to have one last conversation with her grandmother. Mining from all her correspondence—email, Facebook, Skype, texts—Sam constructs a computer simulation of Livvie who can respond to email or video chat just as if she were still alive. It’s not supernatural, it’s computer science. Meredith loves it, and the couple begins to wonder if this is something that could help more people through their grief. And thus, the company RePose is born. The business takes off, but for every person who just wants to say good-bye, there is someone who can’t let go. A fresh and warmhearted love story for the 21st century. This book is available at the Ellicottville Memorial Library in book format only.

To C.A.P It Off! Last week I took a step away from tips on performance, and instead encouraged intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders to consider a “coaching session” with one of our pros, which prompted me to address another important aspect of our school — the value and expectations of children’s instruction. The children’s Mountain Adventures program at Holiday Valley is a well-structured and highly regarded children’s program, as are all our resort’s children’s programs. Children’s instruction is recognized by PSIA-E/AASI, resort management and industry partners as the key factor in the growth of the snowsports business. I have enjoyed a 25year snowsports career directly involved with kids and have loved every part of it. These little skiers and riders are the present and future of our sport. One aspect of kids’ lessons that is difficult to address sometimes are parents’ expectations at the end of their child’s lesson. These are not problems with parents, because outcomes and improvements often are not easily identified by parents. Goals and expectations simply need to be expressed realistically when parents and teachers talk to each other, before and after the lesson. The instructor obviously does not know your child better then you do, but they are trained in children’s teaching methodologies. Children’s instructors are creative and skillful teachers and communicators who have received child-specific training. One of the primary bits of training fundamental to all children’s teachers is the C.A.P. Model. The C.A.P. Model is a guideline for determining a child’s ability and potential within a specific age group. For example, three year olds learn, but not the way an eight year old or like a teen learns new things. C.A.P. is Cognitive, Affective and Physical development. C.A.P. is how your child processes information through new experiences. So your three year old, while it may appear they are only playing in the snow, in actuality are becoming familiar with a new environment (Cognitive), getting comfortable being away from mommy and daddy (Affective) and are in big cumbersome boots and will
SNOWSPORTS TIPS By Ron Kubicki,
Director of Holiday Valley Snowsports School
tire very easily (Physical). So, even though they may not get to do “pizza” their first time, if they enjoy the experience, they will come back again and build on the success of that first lesson. On the other hand, it is not unusual for an athletic teen to get to the Creekside Quad (beginner chair) in their first lesson and make controlled and safe turns on School Haus. Roughly the C.A.P. “breakout” looks like this: Cognitive 3-6 Years: Can remember one or two things, have active imaginations, copy and mimic well. 7-12 Years: Need to know “why am I doing this,” ask questions, can describe and explain activities, like to be challenged and successful. Teens: Process and sequence more than one direction, can think in abstract terms, understand complex concepts. Affective 3-6 Years: Need to feel safe, may want mommy or daddy, needs reassurance, like to be told they are doing well. 7-12 Years: Can work independently, want to have fun/play games, compare achievements to others in group, like to know they have done something well. Teens: Like to be part of the crowd; don’t want to be singled out, talk “to” them not “down” to them, may challenge authority, like to have fun and achieve goals, likes to be part of decisions.
Physical 3-6 Years: High center of mass, head with helmet may be 30 percent of body weight, like to always be moving, tire out quickly though, arms and legs do not work independently if they make “pizza,” arms often outspread as well. 7-12 Years: Like a variety of activities, can practice alone with easy directions, can learn movements through repetition and coaching, can move arms and legs independently. Teens: May experience “growth spurt” – awkward movements, may be uncoordinated, are stronger than they used to be, girls probably more mature then boys. This is simply a brief outline of some of the knowledge and tools we use to teach your children. A couple of other things to remember — good schools do not teach by “pushing” a child and they do not teach by increasing terrain. Putting a child on terrain they are not comfortable on will make them defensive in their skiing and riding, may cause fear and will create some very difficult habits to overcome. Learning how to swim by being thrown out of a boat in the middle of the lake really doesn’t work. Skiing and riding is a lifestyle and you can improve continually, so don’t expect your child to “do Cindy’s” with you after a couple of lessons. Instead, let them teach you what they learned on “Fiddler’s Elbow.” You will end up with a small skilled and happy skier and rider. If all your three year old did was make “snow angels” this time, well the next time there is no telling what they will learn, because they had fun and liked it, and they will come back without a struggle Talk to your child’s instructor, speak to the director of the children’s program or find the snowsports school director and ask what and how things are being done in your child’s lesson. You have the right to know and we have the reasonable and educated answers. Despite what people may say, children’s snowsports instruction is not now and never has been “just babysitting” and we can prove it.

Alianello is working on plans, land acquisition, topographic surveys and related activities with the intention to complete the East Tank Project before the end of this year. He also reported that the Routes 219/242 waterline extension is almost complete, but asked the board to approve a proposal to extend 2-inch piping to the other side of the road to enable
residents on that side to tap into the system if they choose. The board gave its approval, agreeing that this is the time to do this preparatory work. Finally, Board Member Ken Hinman updated the board about progress on the proposed recreational trail. Earlier this month, the trail committee met with the Industrial Development Agency, which
provided encouraging and important advice on next steps. The trail continues to attract considerable enthusiasm, he said, and the committee had its first inquiry about corporate support for the project. The next meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Board will be held on Wednesday, March 20 at 6 p.m.

settlement. In addition to the barn, the insurance company has or will reimburse the town for the loss of six vehicles, readying the cold storage building for use this winter, business and personal property, and other items on a very long list of losses. Other Business: Crystal Abers, director of the Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism, attended the board meeting to describe the services her department offers and to apprise the board of the county hazard mitigation plan that was recently updated. The board also discussed Local Law 2013 for Code Enforcement Administration, providing for enforcement of the New York State Uniform
Fire Prevention and Building Code. Councilmember Jim Hammond still had some questions about the new law, so the discussion was tabled until the March meeting when Mansfield’s Code Enforcement Officer Gil Wiswall would be invited to provide clarification. Keis reported that he is preparing to meet with the town’s insurance agent in June to renew the town policy. Given what has been learned as a result of October’s fire, Keis suggested the board should carefully re-evaluate the policy, especially with regard to the valuation of the town’s vehicles. He said he believes that by adjusting those values, he may be able to lower the town’s premiums. Finally, the board discussed

at length the issue of purchasing a new grader to replace the one lost in the fire. Deputy Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley reported that he had received bids for a John Deere and a Caterpillar grader – which were similarly priced. He noted that, from the department’s perspective, a decision needed to be made quickly, saying that he will need the grader the minute the weather breaks. The board agreed that the matter was urgent and ultimately approved purchase of the John Deere grader on a 10-year payment plan with the intent to pay off the note more quickly. The next meeting of the Town of Mansfield board will be held at 7 p.m. on March 18. As always, members of the public are invited to attend.
Wolters-Kubiak Awarded Artists in the Community Grant Photo Essay to Uncover Common Social Threads
By Eva Potter
An extensive selection process, including a twopage narrative and detailed application, ended up with a big win for Joelle WoltersKubiak. The talented photographer is one of two artists recently awarded the Artists in Community grant administered through the Cattaraugus County Arts Council and funded by the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program, which will provide her with $2,500 for the creation of new artwork within a community context. The grant encourages individual artists in all disciplines to encourage interaction between artists and the community and to highlight the role of artists as community resources. Wolters-Kubiak’s project proposed the creation of a photojournalistic gallery entitled “Degrees of Separation” through a process of personal interviews with residents of Cattaraugus County and Batey 50, Dominican Republic, that would result in a series of portraits that juxtapose diverse faces with commonality. She said she was strongly motivated by her own experience as a young artist who was forced to move from a more urban and multicultural area (New York City) to rural western New York. “I was convinced that I would be banished to a slow social death after this move,” said Wolters-Kubiak, “however, I have discovered that Cattaraugus County is in fact a viable place to have a future. As a young adult, an artist, and a legally married lesbian, I have unexpectedly found solidarity and diversity.” Sparked by a decade of mission trips to the Dominican Republic, Wolters-Kubiak wanted to find a way to merge her love of the Dominican Republic and its people, her passion for social justice and her artistic sensibilities to
create art that creates change. Wolters-Kubiak has twice led a group of friends to the Dominican Republic. Through the group’s fundraising efforts, they were able to fund enough food to feed the residents of Batey 50 for an entire month. Through interviews and photographing willing participants, she plans to uncover the common threads that bind together the diverse residents of Cattaraugus County and the residents of Batey 50, and to illustrate that they are more alike than different. She will translate her concept through photographs, which ultimately will be presented to the community in a photo essay that combines images and narratives in grand opening gallery exhibition at the Cattaraugus County Arts Council on Main Street in Allegany, N.Y., during the first two weeks of July 2014. She said, “I would hope that the work would grant perspective to individuals here, dignity to the individuals in Batey 50, and a heightened understanding of humanity’s interconnectedness everywhere.” Wolters-Kubiak has built the framework of her life on the understanding of herself as an artist. “My understanding of the world, myself, my spirituality, and my purpose all center on the idea that life is a work of art and I am creatively involved in how it unfolds,” she explained. “I started off
playing music (which I still do) and have really found a home in photography. However, I have also published a book of poetry and several musical eps.” On her Joelle Wolters Photography Facebook page, she states, “I seek to create work that will capture beauty, love, sadness, and the entire spectrum of life through the lens of a camera, to capture moments and memories that can give hope, evoke emotion, and make us remember. It is my goal with this business to take my passion and use it to bring joy to my clients, family, and friends.” By using her camera lens as her eye into the world, WoltersKubiak hopes that her project will “define a greater sense of community identity within Cattaraugus County residents, foster an increased awareness of interconnectivity in the county, generate an awareness of interconnectedness globally, and lead community members in a process of generating passion within the community to use their voice/skills to create a stronger sense of community and interconnectivity by way of modeling that process.” To learn more about Wolters-Kubiak, please visit her website at www. joellewoltersphotography. com or www.facebook.com/ joellewoltersphotography.

Workers prepare the snocross track for this weekend’s event at the Seneca Allegany Casino in Salamanca, NY. cross country, thrilled only a small percentage of fans because of how alienating the course could be for viewers. “There’s a disconnect with cross country,” Schutte said. “Racers disappear in the woods and aren’t seen again until the end. With this, viewers get to see it all.” Those who show up at the event, which begins at 6 p.m. on Friday, will witness snowmobilers reaching as
high as 25 feet into the air. The Salamanca event closely precedes the snocross finals, which will be held at Lake Geneva, Wis., on March 15. In Salamanca, there will be multiple class competitions, including children, amateur, women and pro. The pro-open class is the highest a race can aspire to. Followers of the sport will be thrilled that Tucker Hibbert, current ISOC
National Snocross Pro Open Championship points leader, will be at the Salamanca event. It’s his first career appearance in Western New York. In January, Hibbert won his sixth consecutive X Games gold medal. He has won seven of the past ISOC national final events. “There are many racers this weekend who are hungry to knock Hibbert off the points,” Schutte said. “They’ll be
