Strongman Reinhoudt Visits Cassadaga Valley Written by Jordan Patterson Dunkirk Observer, October 31, 2019 The Valley Cassadaga Valley Central School District Newsletter INSIDER Strongman Reinhoudt visits Cassadaga Valley Written by Jordan Patterson Dunkirk Observer, October 31, 2019 SINCLAIRVILLE — Don Reinhoudt, known for moving ridiculously heavy objects, spoke to Cassadaga Valley students in an effort to lift their spirits. And his message was simple: Never give up. “Don’t ever, please, don’t ever sell yourself short,” said Reinhoudt, a former world’s strongest man who competed internationally in strongman competitions. “You can be anything you want in this world. It takes by going to school, listening to your teachers, your moms and dads and by not quitting on yourself. Inside Cassadaga Valley Central School on Wednesday, Reinhoudt told stories to students, who he noted were young enough to be his grandchildren, about how he became the world’s strongest man while competing in the 1970s. A video was also screened that displayed his numerous feats of strength as he competed for the title he is most known for. Reinhoudt, who was born in Brocton, was most recently inducted into the National Strength and Power Hall of Fame in 2018, marking the eighth hall of fame that features his name. In the same year, he was named in the Top 10 All-Time Strongman of the Century by the International Powerlifting Federation. He also served as the director of the Chautauqua County Youth Bureau for a number of years. Even during his time competing, Reinhoudt would provide motivational presentations that used to feature him showing off his strength. A typical show some 15 years ago would consist of him splitting license plates, bending metal pipes and ripping phone books with his bare hands. Now, the 75-year-old said those days are behind him, adding that he can contribute by other means. His list of accomplishments over the years include a 2,500-pound car lift; a 1,000-pound back lift; a 20,000-pound truck pull; a 10,000-pound tram pull; a 350-pound log lift; a 300-pound barrel lift; and a 175-pound dumbbell press. To get to this level, Reinhoudt said he would train in a gym in his basement after working an eight-hour shift at his father’s accounting firm. And despite these extraordinary feats of strength, Reinhoudt told students, when asked about his favorite accomplishment, that he cherishes being a father most of all. Many of the video clips shown Wednesday featured some of these historical record-breaking moments. In several interviews following his performances, Reinhoudt was soft-spoken and remained humble, as was evident Wednesday. “It’s just an honor to be here,” he said often. One student in the Cassadaga Valley audience noticed this glaring characteristic of Reinhoudt. During the question portion of the presentation, students offered various inquiries about Reinhoudt’s strength, his thoughts on steroids and his work ethic. But this particular student offered a compliment instead. “I love how you have respect for everyone around you,” she said. Reinhoudt responded, “Thank you so much.” “That’s what I’m all about,” he continued. “I try to be as honest as I can.” Reinhoudt circled back to the idea of simply not quitting. Even in Reinhoudt’s prime, he said he was laughed at when sharing his story, noting he could have quit at any given moment. And still, despite his successes and being the world’s strongest man, he said “That isn’t what I’m all about.” “I’m a guy who struggled, who worked, who decided to make something out of his life to use it to work with other people,” he said. “That’s what I’m all about. That’s what I want you to remember Don for.” Winter 2020 Superintendent Message Time flies when you’re having fun! We’ve all used that old saying before, but I was reminded of it again recently when I realized that we are already in December and the holidays are right around the corner. It feels like we just started a new school year! Along those lines, I’m often asked how the school year is going and my response is generally “Busy... but good.” And that is the truth – we are very busy, but things are good! As you are well aware, there is so much happening here at CVCS that it is often difficult to keep up with it all. Exciting events take place almost every week and one of the best ways to keep track of it all is to follow us on social media. Whether you keep up though Facebook or Twitter or by visiting our website regularly, I hope you take a moment to check in on all that is happening here in The Valley! As always, should you have questions about what is happening in your child’s classroom please reach out directly to their teacher. A phone call or an email is always appropriate. As we approach the close of 2019 and the upcoming holiday season, we want to wish you and yours all the best. We hope that you are able to enjoy family time and that you will have a peaceful start to 2020. Costa Rica Trip If anyone is still interested in joining the CVCS tour of Costa Rica, there is still time! The deadline to sign up is December 25th, 2019. For additional information you can e-mail Mrs. Avila at [email protected] or go online to our tour center - www.explorica.com/Avila-7241 WNY Construction Career Days On October 2, students in the Career and Technical Education program attended WNY Construction Career Days hosted at IUOE Local 17’s hall in Lakeview NY. Cassadaga Valley students met with representatives from several area union halls to explore career options in the construction industry. Throughout the day, students were given the opportunity to operate heavy machinery, rappel in safety harnesses, lay brick and experience the construction trades in a hands on environment.

Bottom Right: CVCS Volleyball Celebrating Officials Appreciation Day on October 2, 2019 2 The Valley PBIS at SES Last school year, Sinclairville Elementary School started a new initiative (PBIS) in the Spring promoting positive behavior from our students and staff. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports is a collaborative (team-based), educative, proactive, and functional process to developing effective interventions for inappropriate behavior. Students in our schools come from many different backgrounds and cultures that view “behavior” differently; thus, we cannot assume that students know how to behave appropriately when at school. Furthermore, many of our students are making poor choices when confronted with a conflict. Consequently, we must teach our students how to behave at school to ensure that they do make better choices. PBIS views inappropriate behavior in the same manner that problems in reading or math are viewed…as a skill deficit. When a skill deficit exists, we must teach the appropriate skills. By doing so, a unified and positive school climate forms, informing students and staff that appropriate behavior is a priority in school. This school year our PBIS team decided to throw monthly assemblies, focusing on specific themes. On September 20th, we had our kick-off assembly in which we focused on positive assembly behavior. Students were asked questions about how they can demonstrate positive behavior while attending the assembly. In October, we focused on bus behavior. Our PBIS team INSIDER interviewed several bus drivers to explore how their students can be safe, be respectful, and be responsible while on the bus. In the future, SES will hold assemblies focusing on positive behaviors in other areas, such as hallways, cafeteria, bathrooms, and playground. When students demonstrate positive behaviors they are rewarded with a PAWS (Positive Actions Witnessed Schoolwide) tickets which can be redeemed at our school store for tangible items or privileges. We had our first school store on October 16th for Pre-K-2nd grade and launched our new online store for our 3rd-5th grade students. Our next school store will be open on November 7th. We are extremely proud of all of our student’s hard work and efforts to stay positive throughout our building. Keep it up!!! Hydroponics Students in Mr. Guziec's 4th grade class will be learning about hydroponics throughout the school year. The first harvest of butter crunch lettuce was added to student lunches on a "Taco Tuesday." Pictured here are students bagging the next batch of lettuce to donate to the Sinclairville 76ers for an upcoming luncheon. Have You Joined The Fitness Center?

  • Strength Training with High Frequency
    Impulse Strength & Fitness White Paper Strength Training with High Frequency Maximise strength, lean muscle mass, and general fitness by challenging the common wisdom in modern strength training by Matthew Perryman, CSCS July 2010 White Paper: Strength Training with High Frequency Impulse Strength & Fitness Abstract In modern strength & conditioning circles, the principles of training stress and recovery are often taken as axiomatic, born out by both academic research and practical experience. That said, we have precious little formal knowledge regarding how to maximize training variables, and limited information on the body's recuperative powers. Most of what we take for granted as fact is extrapolation and speculation. In this white paper I wish to discuss the common assumptions regarding training stress and recovery, explore reasonable criticisms of those assumptions, and to lay out a programming strategy that can take advantage of a modified understanding of these factors. What We (Think We) Know Strength athletes rely on common styles, modes, and methods of training. For these purposes, anyone who relies on weight training to develop strength as a primary goal will be considered a strength athlete. This includes powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters, throwers, shotputters, strongmen, & bodybuilders. Modern strength programs derive from a handful of shared sources, namely a handful of books that detail Soviet-era knowledge and practice; trends in Western strength training that developed in the 20th century; and contemporary re-interpretations that have emerged from the combination of the first two sources. Very little is derived from current sport and exercise science in terms of practical application. Professional organizations issue routinely issue position statements on the subjects of programming and periodization, and while research is ongoing, those stances inevitably default to the three sources listed above.

  • 68 the Bench Press Is the Most Popular Exercise in the Weight Room. There Are Several Reasons for This, Some of Them Good, Some
    Starting Strength The bench press is the most popular exercise in the weight room. There are several reasons for this, some of them good, some of them not quite so good. The good reasons involve the incredible benefits of the exercise, and its reputation as an unequalled builder of upper body strength. The silly ones involve the exercise’s tendency to make the “pecs” grow excessively when high reps are used (and many trainees’ impression that these are cool), and the fact that you get to lie down while you do it. There are few gyms left in the world that don’t have a pressing bench, and for good reason: the bench press, since the 1950s, has become the most widely-recognized resistance movement in the world, the one exercise most representative in the public mind of barbell training, the exercise the vast majority of trainees are most likely to want to do, and the exercise most often asked about by most people if they are interested in how strong you are. Many incredibly strong men have benched big weights, long before the advent of modern supportive shirts, and even good benches. Men like Doug Hepburn, Pat Casey, Mel Hennessy, Don Reinhoudt, Jim Williams (who lifted in excess of 700 lbs. in a thin, cheap, white t-shirt), and Ronnie Ray were strong back in the early days of powerlifting, although the weights they lifted would, sad to say, scarcely turn a head at a 21st century national meet. Accomplished powerlifters of the 1980s, men like Larry Pacifico, the incredible Mike McDonald, George Hechter, John Kuc, Mike Bridges, Bill Kazmaier, Rickey Dale Crain, and the great Doug Young were masters of the bench press, using all the tricks at their disposal to establish national and world records in the lift (figure 1).
