The sign of Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, God of the Skies, aviation, outer space and even extra-terrestrial life....
Tell a Friend Tour Returning to Holiday Valley
In Ellicottville, NY we love to celebrate the thrills that come along each winter season, and to many that means chasing the slopes and getting tricky in the terrain parks. Coming to Holiday Valley this February, we have a momentous event that looks to encourage the community to share in some snowy fun. Let’s rally the crew for the rush of excitement to come when the Tell a Friend Tour hits our town.

Why Do We Turn to Medication to Lose Weight
Whenever I look at pictures of by-gone eras I can’t help but notice that back in the early and mid-portion of the 20th century, our country did not have the serious obesity problem that it has today. Our intense desire for instant gratification has become our Achilles heel. This brought to mind the article I wrote about processed and ultra-processed food. These ‘Frankenstein’ versions of food are made up of added sugar, salt, fat and starches extracted from natural occurring foods and then blended with artificial colors, flavors and stabilizers to hold it all together. Soft drinks, hot dogs, cold cuts, packaged cookies and salty snacks like pretzel rods all qualified, as did many frozen dinners.
ELLICOTTVILLE CABOCES HOLDING OPEN HOUSE
Olean – On Thursday, January 25, the CA BOCES CTE Center at Ellicottville will open its doors to the community for an Open House event from 12:00-6:00 p.m. As part of the event, guests will have the opportunity to tour classrooms, learn about programs, speak with Career and Technical Education (CTE) instructors, learn about local Union opportunities and options for continuing education beyond CTE programs.
Behind the Scenes of the Ellicottville Fire Department

When the engines roar by, we wonder where they are going, how bad it is and hope the people involved are alright. Do we ever stop to think about the people on the rig? The ones who are going to the scene, to fight the fire or help those in need?
Bob McCarthy Foundation Looking Ahead
The holiday season was very active with Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas, a great success with Santa’s Workshop helping 29 families/117 individuals in the Ellicottville area. With this hectic year-end schedule, it finally dawned on us that it has been a little over a year since the Bob McCarthy Foundation was transitioned from the Foundation for Youth and Family Support.
Your Turn Women’s Clinic at Holiday Valley
I’ve had the pleasure of being a coach for the “Your Turn Women’s Clinic” with Lisa Densmore Ballard for the last 3 years. Not only has this been game changing for the women who attend, but it is so satisfying for me to see those women improve their skiing and have more fun on the snow. Lisa’s formula is very straight forward: give women two days on snow where they’re only responsible for themselves, teach them about equipment basics so they know what to look for, give them simple tips on how to be more in control, and challenge them to reach new goals.
Thrive IV Lounge Adds New Service
Living in ski country, we know that winter is beautiful but it’s also hard on your body. It’s cold, you need more energy (definitely lacking Vitamin D around here right now), and the air is exceptionally harsh on your skin. There’s nothing better than holing up in your cozy chalet with a hot cup of whatever you like, but that can’t solve all of your physical problems… or can it? If you give Thrive IV Lounge (located at 5 E. Washington Street in Ellicottville) a call, it could!

“The Dueling Pianos” Coming to EBC Little Valley

On Friday, January 26th, the Little Valley location is sure to be filled with talent and fun as guests enjoy food and a complimentary beverage with their ticket purchase.
