Snowshoeing is a winter sport anyone can do. Snowshoes fit right over regular boots, and make hiking through the winter woods a
breeze. The region offers an abundance of snowshoeing opportunities. If you want to stay local, both ski resorts are a great place to start. Holiday Valley boasts trails along the ridgeline, open until 3 p.m. daily, as well as ones by the golf course. To make it easy on yourself, you can buy a two-ride ticket for the Mardi Gras, Cindy’s or Tannenbaum lifts for $12. You can either ride the Mardi Gras or Tannenbaum chair back down, or head down one of the easier trails. The easier trails along the golf course at the base of the mountain are open during daylight hours and there are solar lights for a nighttime
ski on the golf course. Snowshoeing is also available on the lower slopes and on the golf course, but be sure to stay to the side of the crosscountry tracks. Snowshoes are available to rent from the High Performance Shop for $18 for eight hours. HoliMont also boasts unique opportunities for snowshoeing. Snowshoes can be rented at their Gear Up shop; hours are 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Want to head off the beaten path, but need the right gear? City Garage, at 5 Monroe Street, offers Atlas Snowshoe rentals for $20 a day. For info, call (716) 699-2054. Adventure Bound, at

The town and village of Ellicottville are seeking grant funding to help the municipalities form a joint water and sewer district. A state grant would fund the research, asset inventory, data collection, administrative structure and legal costs required to create
the joint districts. As has been previously reported, the formation of a joint sewer and water district will include creating a new department of public works (DPW) director position, shared by the town and village, to oversee the joint district as well as the town highway
department and the village’s current DPW. During the town board meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 18, Town Supervisor Matt McAndrew said that, if the joint district is formed, the new DPW director will need office space. At the same time,

the town historical society has asked McAndrew to find climate-controlled storage space for some of its delicate documents and antiquities. McAndrew outlined a possible scenario that requires some “musical chairs” with office and storage space. One scenario could be to move the police department to the Town Center building, next to the town and village court, and use the current police department space in the town/village hall as the DPW director’s office. And, since a new air conditioning system is being installed in the town/village hall, dry space can be found for the historical society. In general, the town board and Police Officer in Charge Don Auge felt McAndrew’s idea could work, though it is too soon to make any decisions. In other business, the board approved a proposal to make the town’s water operator position a civil service job. The board also approved a suggestion by Auge to keep the town/village hall locked on select festival weekends and to install chains blocking people from going to the second floor during certain hours. Auge said
the suggestion was prompted by a recent vandalism incident. Department Reports Auge reported that people have been caught and ticketed for dumping their trash into private dumpsters. Under state Environmental Conservation law, Auge said people can be fined $1,500 or more for each occurrence. Editor’s note: Refuse and recycling rules can be found on page 9. Auge also reported that he has been working with the Ellicottville fire captain to prepare a database of residential fire and burglar alarms as part of an effort to reduce false alarms. Property owners with such alarms must register their systems with the town or village clerk’s office. Highway Superintendent Tom Scharf reported that the department has just come off a challenging period of constant activity, with daily heavy snow for weeks, followed by warmer temperatures featuring heavy rain and melting. He said he has “an excellent group of people on staff” who “shut their lives down” to get the job done. He also noted that there have been several record
weeks for overtime. Town Engineer Mark Alianello presented the board with bids to insulate the attic and remove and replace the ceilings in the town/village hall. The work must be done as part of the installation of an air conditioning system. The bid from S&T Construction was accepted. Bids for the A/C system will be advertised this month. The board also approved a proposal from Tronconi, Segarra & Associates to conduct annual audits of town financials and every third-year audits of the town court. Board member Ken Hinman reported that planning for phase one construction of the Ellicottville-Great Valley trail is nearly complete. There are still some legal issues with easements that must be worked out. Hinman said the trail committee is still waiting to hear about a state grant application, but that a federal grant proposal was rejected. The next regular meeting of the Town of Ellicottville Board is scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 6 p.m. in the town/ village hall.
Proposed Apartments Presented to EVL Planning Board
By Jennie Acklin
Phil Vogt and Neil Rinard of C.J. Wallace Engineering of Bradford, PA made a presentation of the “Valley Flats” apartment complex to the Ellicottville Town Planning Board during a work session / pre-application process. Vogt’s project proposes two multi-family apartment structures, with each building consisting of six units, approximately 1,200 sq. ft. for each apartment, plus garages, just west of the Routes 242/219 intersection. “It’s been my vision for a

while, building them to rent year-round,” said Vogt. “They are planned to be 12 month leases.” Town Planner Gary Palumbo pointed out that the “Valley Flats” name has been previously submitted on a different project some years ago, and may be confusing for the building inspector, even though the project never materialized. Vogt said that he’ll take that into consideration, and come back to the planning board with a name. Parking spaces, parking
lot lighting, property easements, landscaping plans and driveways through the properties were discussed, as well as zoning requirement details relating to those topics. A title search is also being done, which will hopefully resolve any easement concerns with the two neighboring properties. Planning board members also commented on the architectural style of the proposed buildings, and even though they do not have design input or approval powers, Vogt and Rinard were both open to reviewing the designs. “My goal is to build it so it’s very attractive. We try to make it look great,” said Vogt. A discussion about colors, building materials and design features followed. Since this was only a preapplication review, there was no further action required of the planning board. Once a final application is submitted, the next steps of the approval process will begin.

Boys Modified Basketball at Portville Central High School 5 p.m.
What was first thought to be a close competition between two teams with identical records and similar losses to the same Franklinville Lady Panthers, the Ellicottville Lady Eagles ripped apart the Lady Panthers from Pine Valley last week. Marrissa Hamilton was in the zone in the first half, hardly missing from long range. Every attempt by the Lady Panthers to get the ball up the floor was stolen away, leading to easy baskets for Ellicottville, who took a 19-4 commanding lead after the first quarter of play and 40-14 by half time. The second half was anticlimactic as the Lady Eagles coasted to an easy 57-27 victory. The Ellicottville girls are 12-1 for the season and with only seven games left in the regular season, they are looking good for the playoffs. This Friday night, Jan. 27, they take on the 2-10 Gowanda Panthers at home; tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. In Varsity boys action, lead by Elliot Bowen’s double double, 17 points and 12 rebounds, Ellicottville dismantled the Forestville Hornets 63-46 on the road. This Friday night, they stay on the road hoping to improve on their current 11-2 against Section 5 Class C BolivarRichburg HS. A win for the Eagles will give them six more sectional points, keeping them on the top of their Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Athletic Association Class D standings over Franklinville. Mark your calendars for Feb. 6 as the Eagles next home game will be against the 2nd place Panthers from Franklinville; tip off is at 7:30 p.m. In college NCAA Division I basketball, the St. Bonaventure men’s basketball team played at home this past Tuesday night against St. Joseph’s. It looked like currents for them at the end of the first half trailing St. Joe’s by 15 points, 27-42. The second half was a different story as St. Joseph went cold, hitting only one for 11 from the three-point line. The game was really won from the free throw line, with the Bonnies connecting on 12 out of 14
shots, compared with only four for 10 for St. Joe. The final score was Bonaventure 67, St. Joseph 63. The Lady Bonnies team has improved their record to 8-12 with back-to-back wins in their last two outings. Last Saturday night at home, St. Bonaventure women’s team defeated Duquesne 69-56 and improved their conference record to 3-5. Mckenna Maycock had a breakout game coming off the bench to lead all scorers with 14 points and adding five rebounds. Maycock shot an incredible 60 percent from the floor, 50 percent from the arc and 100 percent from the free throw line. NCAA Division III action saw the Hilbert Hawks dropping both men and women’s contests last Saturday at home to Penn State Altoona. The men drop to fifth place with a 6-5 conference record, while the women are 5-6 fighting for a final playoff spot with only7 games remaining. Player development tip of the week focuses on foot work. A good basketball player is light and quick on their feet. Muhammad Ali’s famous quote when asked about his strategy in the boxing ring was, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Nothing is truer and more to the point applying to all athletes. Heavy feet slow you down, so in order to be light and quick on your
feet, you need to practice foot work drills. The best foot work drill is the four square drill used by many athletes in all sports that require agility, coordination, balance and quickness in their foot work. The drill is simple and can be done anywhere. Draw two lines on the ground or use tape to make and “X” with 90 degree angles. Each quadrant is a square. Patterns can vary each time you do this drill, including using one foot or two feet at a time. Number the squares 1-4 clockwise. Place both feet in No. 1 and hop back and forth to No. 4 directly behind you as fast as you can for up to 30 seconds. Next use No. 1 and No. 2 and do a lateral move again as fast as possible for 30 seconds. Continue with No. 1 and No. 3 and do the diagonal. You can create all sorts of variations including going around the box in one direction and reversing direction, facing different directions, using one foot or two feet at a time. Once you get proficient with the drill, do it with a basketball in your hands, holding it in front and then above you. Dribble the ball or circle the ball around your body as you do your patterns. Be creative and do the drill consistently to develop the quickest feet in town.

asked good questions.” The assembly included guest speakers from the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department, New York State Police Department, Cattaraugus County District Attorney’s Office, FBI and the Southern Tier Child Advocacy Center in Olean. The assembly was held for students from grades 9-12, who were split into small groups of boys and girls, and rotated into short sessions with the guest speakers. According to Miller, the guest speakers discussed a variety of digital media topics with students, including the difference between filing a report and pressing charges, forensics investigations with cellular evidence, court proceedings, sexting, cyber bullying, and the different levels to which a crime can rise. “There were some eye openers,” said Miller. “You start to see some eyebrows go up when you talk about felonies.”
All in all, Miller felt the time was well spent and believed the students benefitted from the discussions. “I’m glad we spent the time and did this,” he said. Miller said follow-up information on the assembly will be included in an upcoming school newsletter and posted on the school web site very soon. In elementary school news, Principal Connie Poulin reminded the Board of the upcoming 6th Grade Moving Up Night, set to take place this Thursday, Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. “We usually get nearly 100 percent attendance when we have our 6th grade moving up event,” said Poulin. Piggybacking on the recent high school assembly, Poulin said she will also touch on the implications of negative digital media use and what parents can do to set effective boundaries. The Board also discussed plans for members to attend the 2017 BOCES Annual Meeting, set for April 18 at
the BOCES Center in Olean. At the annual meeting, area school administrators, board members and BOCES officials will vote on the BOCES administrative budget and elect BOCES board members. School Board President Carl Colaro encouraged as many board members as possible to go and exercise their right to vote. In other business, the Board approved the appointment of Michelle Miller as a parttime teacher aid, effective Wednesday, Jan. 25. The position will observe a oneyear probationary period, ending Jan. 25, 2018. Lastly, board member Connie Hellwig announced plans to travel to the state’s capitol Feb. 12-13 for the Annual New York State Capital Conference, being held this year at the New York State Museum and the Renaissance Albany Hotel. The next ECS Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. in the ECS library.

How to Properly Do a Push-Up
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
The push-up is an amazing exercise that offers a ton of great benefits including: 1. Perform push-ups anywhere. You can do push ups anywhere because they only require your body weight. No fancy or expensive equipment required. 2. Increase pushing strength. Push-ups engage your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core for a complete pushing exercise. If you are benching, you won’t get the same core activation. 3. Variations. Push-ups are a very dynamic exercise with many different variations to satisfy the beginner to the advanced athlete. While push-ups can be extremely beneficial to help improve your physique and muscle endurance, even people who have exercised for years may have improper push-up form. Here is a checklist to make sure you use perfect
push-up form every time! Tip #1: Straight Head/ Neck Position I see this as a common mistake for people who are simply not strong enough to complete a push-up (usually weak chest muscles), or simply have poor posture from working at a computer all the time. The head is forced forward and down in an effort to make the push-up easier. I would recommend doing knee push-ups (you have to start from somewhere, right?) until you can easily keep your head in line with your torso as you do the push up in a slow and controlled motion. Tip #2: Hands Below Plane of Shoulders If you have not developed your chest muscles, the chances are you will start your push-up with your hands above the plane of your shoulders. What I mean is that when you get ready to do a pushup, your hands are placed above your shoulders, almost in the same horizontal plane as your head. Keep your hand position slightly wider than shoulder width apart, next to the middle of your chest, which will properly work your chest, shoulders, and triceps pretty equally so they all benefit. Tip #3: Hips and Torso Straight In an effort to make the push-up easier, oftentimes I see people either slouching their hips downward, or pushing their hips upward. By
not keeping the hips and torso straight, the abs are almost taken out of the equation. Keep your hips in line with your torso to properly engage your abs and properly recruit the muscles as they were intended (chest, shoulders, triceps, and abs). Tip #4: Full Range of Motion I’ve heard a million times how you should never let your body dip below a 90-degree angle in your elbows. I think this came about because of shoulder concerns. In my opinion, I think you should use a full range of motion (just as with every other exercise) as long as it doesn’t hurt your shoulders. Try to get your chest to slightly graze the ground, or come within an inch of the ground. Push-Up Instructions 1. Position your body with your arms straight out, abs tight, holding your body in a plank position. 2. Hands and arms should be positioned slightly below your shoulders, fingers pointed forwards. Shoulders are pushed down away from your ears. 3. Lower your body until your chest is an inch or two above the floor, elbows pulling back at roughly a 45-degree angle. 4. Push your torso away from the ground until your arms lock, then repeat. 5. Keep head up and exhale as you push-up.

One of the advantages of living close to one of the best steelhead rivers in the east, the Cattaraugus Creek, is that when the opportunity presents itself and the conditions are ideal, you can grab your rod and waders and on a moment’s notice, off you go. Most people don’t think of fly fishing in the middle of January, but with no closed season, the steelhead are just waiting for someone to catch them. Most steelhead enter the river in the fall and will stay in the river until spring; when you hook these fish, they will be darker in color. If you hook an explosive shiny silver fish, it will most likely be a fresh fish— these silver bullets will continue entering throughout the winter and into the spring. The trick to winter steelhead fishing is to keep a close eye on the river— in particular, the water temperature, ice build up along the banks and water levels. All three of these elements are critical in finding and safely catching winter steelhead. Our typical January thaw usually brings warm temperatures and abundant rainfall; this helps clear the ice from the banks and warms up the water temperatures. After a few days of clear and sunny weather, the river levels will drop, the water will clear and the perfect steelhead conditions will exist. The ideal water temperature is somewhere between 40 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but you will catch fish below 40 if you slow down your presentation and fish deeper. Air temperatures can be much lower, even down to the teens, if your fingers can bear it. Stripping in your line in freezing temperatures will freeze up your rod guides, so you’ll have to either remove the ice between casts by dipping your rod into the water
to thaw it out, or simply use a cooking spray on your guides to keep them de-iced. An important point to remember when wading in and around the river in the winter months, and even into the spring, is not to use feltsoled waders. Walking in snow with felt soles will be difficult, uncomfortable and possibly dangerous, as the snow will attach to the felt and build up like a big snowball. The soles will also freeze and will slip on ice and smooth river bottoms and rocks. The ideal sole is one that is made of rubber to which you can screw steel studs into. A wading staff is also a critical safety tool; you don’t want to take an unexpected dip into icy water or stumble in deep snow drift. The best fly line for winter conditions is a weight forward sink tip cold water trout line that allows you to fish well under the surface while still mending your line on the surface. Since most of the fish that you will catch are in the 6-10 pound range, a 5-7 weight fly rod and line combination is ideal. The length of the rod is also important, as is the length of the sinking portion of the fly line. To properly mend the floating portion of the fly line, a 9- or 10-feet rod length is minimal. The sink tip portion of the line should be 12 to 15 feet so that when you dead drift or swing the fly, it will be bouncing across the bottom where winter steelhead hang out. Selecting the fly for winter steelheading is dependent on the water temperature and the water clarity the day that you venture out. The fly selection will also be dictated by the fly fishing technique that you will be using, swing or dead drift. In order to dead drift a fly, you will need to cast your fly slightly up and across the
river. As the fly line drifts back towards you, you will need to pick it up off the water to prevent it from catching the surface current and dragging the fly faster than the fly is bouncing along the bottom. As the fly continues past you, you have to let out the fly line and mend it out to where the fly is drifting. The term “dead drift” means that the fly is naturally bouncing along the bottom ahead of the fly line without any pull or resistance. Swinging the fly in the winter months requires the angler to cast up and across as if dead drifting, when the fly drifts past you, instead of feeding out more line, the angler holds the line tight causing the fly to swing across the current to dangle directly below you. If the water is in the higher temperature range, this technique will be the key to catching active and aggressive fish. In both techniques, the angler has to be focused on a possible strike while dead drifting. This could be as slight as a hesitation in the drifting fly line, almost like a brief bottom snag; set the hook immediately by lifting the rod. There is no mistaking the strike on the swing— just remember to hold onto your rod, no hook set is necessary. For dead drifting, a simple egg pattern fly is ideal in orange or black or a combination of the two. Tie a fly on a number 8 or 10 size heavy wire grub hook. Begin by wrapping some lead wire around the shaft of the hook and then simply wrap some florescent orange Angora goat dubbing material over it until you have a nice, fat-looking fly. That is all you really need for an excellent dead drift fly. The lead underbody, coupled with the heavy gauge hook, will sink the fly quickly. The swing fly can also be weighted, but the best color is black and should resemble more of a bait fish or leech. The popular choice for a winter swing fly is the woolly bugger tied on a 2 or 4 size streamer hook. The black fly creates a very noticeable silhouette that the fish can’t miss and the marabou tail of the bugger gives it life through undulating movements. The final and most important tip for winter steelhead fly fishing is to use a very short fluorocarbon leader no more than three feet in length. This will help deep the fly close to the bottom and being fluorocarbon, it is invisible under water and won’t spook the fish. Good luck and good fishing!

This Week’s Crossword Puzzle
“The Brain Fog Fix” by Dr. Mike Dow People are thinking and feeling worse than ever. Why? Because our brains are not getting the support they need to produce the essential brain chemicals that keep us energized, calm, focused, and inspired. In fact, if you look at the way that most of us live, it’s almost as though we had chosen a lifestyle deliberately intended to undermine our brain chemistry. Fortunately, there is a solution. The Brain Fog Fix is a three-week program designed to help you naturally restore three of your brain’s most crucial chemicals: serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol. This will, in turn, enable the rest of your brain’s chemistry to reach optimal levels. You will find yourself thinking more clearly, remembering more accurately, learning more quickly, and unleashing the floodgates of your creativity. You will also find yourself feeling more optimistic, calm, energized, connected, and inspired. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,500 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

This time of year, things can get a little, hall I say boring if you aren’t careful. It’s easy to succumb to the long hours of darkness and cool temps outside and just stay in. The terms “winter blues” and “cabin fever” are pretty spoton if you don’t find a way to get through the next couple months. Last week was rainy. It seemed like the entire week was wet, gray and dreary. My girls and I had planned on going tubing at Holiday Valley on Friday, but when Friday arrived, the rain was still hanging in there. It didn’t exactly subside by the time I was hoping to head there, and I actually called Holiday Valley to make sure the tubing park was open. It was. Decision made—we were going. When we got there, I was sort of surprised to see the parking lot almost empty, except for a few cars parked right up front. My kids asked, “Is it even open?” I secretly had my doubts, but assured them it was. Why else would these other five cars be here? We went in and sure enough, there was someone behind the counter. We got our tags and headed out to grab our tubes. By this time, the rain had stopped completely. We sat in our tubes, effortlessly riding to the top, and linked up in one of the group lanes. We flew down the hill, mixing our sound effects between laughter and screaming. When the tubes stopped, we got out and headed back to the nonexistent line to go back up. We repeated this at least 20 more times before heading out and grabbing frozen hot chocolates from Tim Horton’s. Winter in WNY is unpredictable. Sometimes you’ll get buried in snow when you have a long drive. Sometimes the lack of snow might mean your favorite trail isn’t open at the resorts. And sometimes it’ll be raining when you want to go tubing. But, just make the best of it. Of the times I’ve been to the tubing park with my daughters, last week, on a gloomy evening with questionable weather, when we didn’t even think there was enough snow to go, was the absolute best time we’ve ever had there. Don’t cancel your plans just because something that’s out of your control isn’t working out like you’d expected it to. Get out, give it a shot and make the best of what you CAN do!

“Share an hour, save a life:” That’s all it takes to give back to your community in a meaningful way when you volunteer for Meals on Wheels for Western New York. Since 1969, Meals on Wheels for WNY, a non-profit agency, has been serving the Greater Buffalo area, including
tournament starts at 9 a.m. and continues throughout the day at the Concord Community Park. “As of right now, we have eight teams participating in this year’s event,” said Andy Bobseine, Club Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Springville. “The longstanding rivalry between Julie’s Pizzeria and Emerling Ford Dealerships continues
for another year, but both are looking to dethrone last year’s champs, Cobham LLC.” Other teams entered into the tournament include Springville Manufacturing Co. (Lead Sponsor), Certified Radon Systems/B&B Homes, CHBWV-Decommissioning Team, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and M&M Holland Propane. The goal of this event is to raise $8,000-10,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of Springville and the many programs it offers to the community. “All money raised goes directly toward the purchase of supplies and equipment needed in order to continue providing our area youth with the highest quality programs,” explained Bobseine.

Springville Laboratories in a 1959 aerial photo. Top to bottom: Mr. Marsh’s house, the new lab under construction, the 1932 administration building and library, the 1914 laboratory and in the foreground the original farm house. By Derek M. Otto
A funny story came my way a few days ago. It was about a man driving down Woodward Avenue in the early 1900s. He was one of the first in town to have a motorcar. As he
approached Buffalo Street, he didn’t apply the brakes, but instead yelled, “Whoa! Whoa!” The car didn’t stop; instead, it went straight on. Well in those days, there wasn’t a parking lot, but Shuttleworth’s Pond. Both the man and the car went into the water. The driver was Dr. Mark Brooks, one of Springville’s first doctors. Interestingly enough, just a few years before he took a swim with his car, Dr. Roswell Park and Edward Butler, publisher of the Buffalo News at the time, had approached the New York State Legislature about funding a cancer lab at the University of Buffalo. In 1898, the legislation was approved, and the legislature granted $7,500. Three rooms at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine were dedicated to the New York State Pathology Laboratory. By 1901, the lab had outgrown its space and a new facility was built at the corner of Hill and Elm Streets in Buffalo. In 1913, Dr. Brooks—of car swimming fame— See A Look Back page 7
Notice of Public Hearings Set at Village Board Meeting
By Jennifer Weber
The Village of Springville scheduled two public hearings for Feb. 6 at its board meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2017. The first hearing set proposes amendments to Chapter 1255 of the Village Code stating parks and recreational facilities will be closed to the public from 10 p.m. and 6 a.m and rules and regulations for each individual park or recreational facility will be posted on site. This includes Fiddler’s Green Park at Franklin and North Buffalo Streets, the wading pool spray park on North Central Avenue and Franklin Street, Shuttleworth Park off South Buffalo Street between the public parking lot and Spring Brook, Heritage Park at 65 Franklin Street and the 1.8 mile Pop Warner Rail Trail from Waverly Street to

Franklin Street. The second public hearing involves amendments to Chapter 200 of the Village Code as it pertains to digital signs. Changes added to Section 200-2 state the definition of a digital sign to be “any programmable sign capable or displaying or projecting words, symbols, figures or graphic images that can be altered or rearranged by remote or automatic means resulting in nonstationary messages or images, typically without altering the physical face or surface of the sign.” Additions to Section 20034 state that permanent variable copy digital signs are allowed to be co-located on a freestanding business sign or may be the only freestanding sign if no other business sign
exists. The maximum size of the sign allowed is 32 square feet. Advertising of business, product or uses not located on that property are prohibited and no sign or part of its lighting or design can create a traffic hazard or nuisance to adjoining or neighboring properties. Only one sign is allowed on each property. Changes to Section 200-35 regarding portable, moveable and temporary signs state that the sign area maximum height is 8 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide, with an overall maximum height of 12 feet. Only one per business is allowed on site during business hours and they are allowed on all nonresidential properties in all districts but must remain outside of the right-of-way of the street on the property the See Village Board page 6

Letter from the Editor
Anyone who knows me knows that I love soccer. As a kid, some of my favorite memories are of playing soccer with my family and my friends. As an adult, I’ve been able to coach at various levels for several years now, and even still get to play every once in a while. After coaching the SGI modified girls’ team in the fall, I wanted to give the girls on the team a chance to play together in the off-season. My husband, Hannes, and I were able to get 12 girls together for a team to compete at Sahlens Sports Complex. The competition has been tough, but I see all of the girls improving with each practice and game, which is the point. Also this week, we started practice for an indoor soccer league through SYI, for kids in grades 3-6. Hannes and I started this league in 2013 because we wanted to offer younger kids a chance to play sports in the winter and keep up with their soccer skills. Since then, dozens of kids have participated in the program. At this point, it’s safe to say I’m involved in something soccer-related a majority of the year. Springville is a small town, but that doesn’t mean there are no opportunities. Organizations like SYI, the Boys and Girls Club of Springville, the Springville Center for the Arts and of course, the SGI district, offer everything from athletic to creative to academic-focused clubs and teams for kids, and the ever-expanding community education in the district offers numerous opportunities for adults in the same areas. If there’s not the one you’re looking for, I encourage you to create it. I’ve found these same organizations are very open to new ideas. The sky is the limit when it comes to meaningful ways to spend your free time. Just get involved in something—anything—and see how much fun it can be to be a part of something bigger in Springville. - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

Free Monday Night Movies at Joylan By Keith Clark
FREE Monday Night Movies (M-NM’s) at the Joylan are BACK! Last year, The Springville Crossing Church started to open the doors of the Joylan Theatre one Monday night a month to share positive, quality, real-life, faithbased films free to the community. They also decided to highlight a nonprofit organization at each of these movies and provide the avenue for voluntary free-will offerings to be given by the movie goers towards that organization. Last year that resulted in the giving of $2,064 to our community via these non-profits! AWESOME! This could not be done without the support of the community or the use of the Joylan Theatre. So, THANK YOU to everyone who has been coming to these movies and has thus been a part of this blessing! And thank you to Joylan Theatre owners, Ted and Debby Adams, and Joylan Theatre manager, Amy Bobseine. With that said, our first of four planned movies for 2017 has already taken place. In January we showed “God’s Compass” and highlighted the Buffalo City Mission. And, the free-will offering collected for them totaled $333.20! That equates to 168 meals at the Buffalo City Mission! The Springville Crossing’s next FREE movie will be on Monday, Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. at the Joylan Theatre. We will be showing “Beyond the Mask” (PG). Come join us for a great free movie and see what non-profit we may highlight next and be a little part of helping them do great work! The Joylan Theatre is located at 11 West Main St. in Springville, NY. The Springville Crossing is a nondenominational, Christian church that meets in the Joylan Movie Theatre every Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for a worship service.
BCH Congratulates Diabetes Educator
Bertrand Chaffee Hospital congratulates Kathleen Hebdon, RN for the diabetes care abstract she wrote and will present to the Buffalo Chapter of the American Association of Diabetes Educators on Feb. 17. As a registered nurse and certified diabetic educator, Hebdon coordinates the monthly support groups and diabetes classes offered to patients and the community through Bertrand Chaffee Hospital. Hebdon’s presentation, “Infection Prevention in Diabetes Care,” explores recent outbreaks of blood borne disease related to diabetes care and the safety
risks related to improper infection control techniques. Attendees will qualify to receive one continuing education unit (CEU) under various professional accrediting organizations. This presentation will also be available in March at BCH for employees and the public. “I will be sharing information that will help in the care for Type I and Type II diabetics,” said Hebdon. “With the rise in numbers of patients who are presenting with Type II diabetes, it’s important that providers and nurses are aware of how appropriate infection control procedures can protect patients from harm.”

communications for Meals on Wheels for WNY, “as this is a difficult site to staff due to its geographic location and availability of volunteers.” It’s easy to get involved and it only takes an hour a week to make an impact on your local community. The 24,000-square foot state of the art Meals on Wheels commissary is located in Buffalo and prepares almost 6,000 meals per day that are then delivered to pick-up sites throughout the region. “Instead of going to the commissary, volunteers go to one of 25 satellite sites in the region where the meals are waiting to be picked up and delivered to the community. The Springville site is at the First Presbyterian Church on Buffalo Street,” explained Leidenfrost. Volunteers should arrive at the church by 11:30 a.m. when the meals are ready to be delivered throughout the area. Individuals can volunteer to drive or serve meals (bring them from the vehicle to the house); those who would like to serve but aren’t able to drive must be able to get to the church, where they can be paired with a driver. “Some volunteers do both the driving and the serving,” said Leidenfrost. “Just a little time and a warm heart is all it takes.” From 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., volunteers deliver the meals along their designated route, which has a maximum

of 12 houses so that servers can spend a few minutes visiting each client. Each driver is given two coolers and a small oven that is about the size of a cooler full of meals, which are labeled based on the dietary needs of the client, such as diabetic diets. All drivers are given easy to follow turnby-turn instructions to each house and then back to the Springville site after the meals have been delivered. Although 12 is the maximum number of houses per route, most routes in Springville have less, so it generally takes no more than an hour to deliver meals. It’s easy to get involved, even if you only have one hour a week! “Most of our Springville volunteers are retirees who volunteer three or four days a week, but we have students and others who volunteer when they can, like during school breaks and summer vacation. You can volunteer for as many or as few hours as you want,”
said Leidenfrost. Indeed, the flexibility of the program makes it a great way to fulfill school or college community service hours. Those who wish to be drivers must have a valid driver’s license and their own vehicle, and students need to be 17 or older to drive on their own. Students younger than 16 are welcome to volunteer as long as they are accompanied by a parent. “This is a great program to get involved in, and whether you can be a shortterm volunteer or give a few hours a week of your time, it makes a huge difference,” said Leidenfrost.

contest going in favor of the Class B Griffs, 53-50, on Jan. 4. The Class C Golden Eagles have 41 sectional points. The recap of the game against Cleveland Hill went as follows: 5-18 after 1st quarter, 17-31 half, 25-48 after three, with a final score of 43-58. SGI had 11 turnovers and made only one three-point shot. The Griffs sent the Golden Eagles to the foul line 22 times sinking 12 free throws, while the Griffs themselves shot only eight for 13 from the charity stripe. The real story was that Cleveland Hill out rebounded Springville 21-46-21 and blocked them 9 times. Senior guard No. 23 Marcus James (no relation to LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers), who normally averages 14.4 points per game, had 20 points and an impressive eight steals. James got into foul trouble early in the game, sitting on the bench in the first half with two quick ones. In the fourth quarter, James went on a rampage, scoring 13 of his 20 points, but that was too little too late. Sophomore guard No. 5 Mason Goodridge added 11 points and is the leading scorer for the team, averaging

16.7 points per game. Neither player proved to be a match for the Golden Eagles’ 6’5”center No. 5 J’Son James (once again, no relation to LeBron). J’Son dominated the boards at both ends with 18 rebounds, while adding 13 points and four blocked shots. This past Tuesday night, Jan. 24, the Griffins played a non-conference game on the road against the 4-11 Class A Iroquois Central High School Chiefs, losing by a score of 59-49. The chiefs were in control of the game the whole time, out-scoring the Griffs in the first half by 12 points, 18-30. A brief rally in the 3rd quarter looked as if Springville was going to get back into the game, scoring 17 points to the Chiefs’ 11, but ran out of steam in the fourth, losing that quarter by four points. The Griffs’ next conference game will be on Friday, Jan. 27 against the 2nd place 7-6 Holland Dutchman, who currently have 30 sectional points. The Dutchman are a Class C team and have played the Griffs earlier in the season losing 49-61. The next home game for the Griffs will be Tuesday, Jan. 31 against last place 3-10 Class B
Eden Raiders at 6:30 p.m. The Griffins should have a relatively easy time with their six remaining league opponents before entering the playoffs at the end of February, all of which sit lower in the ECIC standings or that they have previously beaten. At the time of this article, the Lady Griffs have an overall
record of 4-8 and currently have 15 sectional points, putting them into 5th place in the ECIC. The leading scorer for SGI is No. 22 Ivette Lewandowski, averaging 9.4 points per game. Their next home game will be on Friday, Feb. 3 at 6:30 p.m. against the 7th place 2-12 Eden Raiders.

Wrestling, Coach Mark Vogel After a tough loss to Pioneer, the Springville Wrestling Griffs were able to bounce back and have some team success at the Franklinville Varsity Wrestling tournament this past Saturday. Ian Baker and Mikey Evans both went 3-0 to take home first place, and Matt Evans wrestled strong to take home a fifth place finish. Mikey Evans was also named Most Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament; a prestigious award voted on by all of the coaches. This past weekend, a few Springville wrestlers competed in the ECIC’s championships at Starpoint High School. Ian Baker took third place after going 3-1. Ian pinned his opponent, Brad Straw from Sweet Home, in the consolation finals in the second period. His lone loss came against the number one seed, Joe Andresson from Lancaster. Mikey Evans went 3-2, and Matt Evans went 2-2 in the tournament. Mikey’s two wins came by technical fall (19Wrestling team member Mikey Evans 2) against Radwan Alderwish from Lackawanna and a first period pin against Blake Colantino from Eden; he also pinned Owen Weller from Frontier in the second period.. Shilo Rogers showed a lot of growth and wrestled two tough matches, but came up short in each. Shilo has shown growth and maturity over the course of the season and we expect him to only devote himself further and improve as his career moves forward. The Griffs have a busy week, wrestling dual matches against Tonawanda and Eden on Wednesday and Thursday before heading to Kenton for a JV/Varsity tournament on Saturday. Good luck Griffins! Varsity Boys Swimming and Diving, Coach Duane Boberg, Assistant Coach Ryan Dygert On Friday night, the Varsity Boys Swimming and Diving team traveled to Eden for their final away meet of the season. The result would determine who would be taking 2nd place in the division behind East Aurora. Ultimately, the Eden Dolphins were able to prove victorious with a 104-82 victory, yet the Griffins were able to sustain numerous best times and a few more ECIC qualifying times in the final chance of the season. Meet Highlights: Springville was able to secure 2nd place in the 200 Medley Relay with the team of Dominic Hartenstein, Jon Boberg, Zach Hughey, and Elliot Emley. Along with the 2nd place in the 200 Medley, Dominic was able to also take 1st place in the 100 Backstroke, 2nd place in the 50 Freestyle, and help the 400 Freestyle Relay to a 2nd place finish as well. Jon, along with the 2nd place in the 200 Medley, also took first in the 100 Butterfly, and first in the 100 Breaststroke while also being on the winning 200 Free Relay. In the 200 Freestyle, Kurt Uschold was able to secure a first-place finish for the Griffins, along with a first place in the 500 Freestyle. Kurt also was on the 400 Freestyle Relay that finished in 2nd place. Elliot Emley was able to take 2nd in the 100 Freestyle and 3rd in the 50 Freestyle, along with the 2nd place finish in the 200 Medley Relay. Elliot was also on the winning 200 Freestyle Relay. Zach Hughey was able to take 3rd place in the 200 IM, while taking part in all three top finishing relays for the Griffins. Wyatt Fuller was able to win Diving, while also being in the 200 Medley B Relay that took 4th, and also the 200 Free B Relay that took 4th. Dakota Schelble took 3rd in Diving while also swimming in the 200 IM, also swimming on the 200 Medley Relay that took 4th, along with swimming on the 200 Free Relay that took 4th. Special mention to Nathan Myers who was able to drop his 100 Breaststroke time by nearly 4 seconds to qualify for ECIC’s Next Saturday, with a time that secured him a 3rd place finish. Austin Yetter took 4th in the 200 Freestyle, and 3rd in the 100 Fly while also contributing to the 200 Medley B Relay. Blaze Schelble was able to score for the Griffins in both the 200 Freestyle and the 500 Freestyle while also taking part in the 400 Freestyle Relay. Bret DeFrain was able to score for the Griffins in the 100 Free, and also swam in 3 relays for the Griffins. Modified Girls Basketball, Coach Kim Pazzuti The modified girls basketball team captured their first win of the season over Lakeshore last week, 30-19. Melanie Barry was the team’s leading scorer with 10 points, followed by Sarah O’Neal adding eight points, Meghan Rehrauer with five points, Jamie Dickinson with three points, and Autumn Woodruff and Haley Hayden both adding two points. Great defense play was led by Katelyn Mesch, Serenity Heim, Mackenzie Steff, Hannah Carrow, Lily Vanuga, and Avery Boyles. Way to go SGI!
Indoor Track, Coach Joseph Marvin Russell and Sacilowski New School Record Holders In the border war of section 5 vs section 6 at Houghton college on January 21st the Griffins held their own running many season best times and breaking two school records. Freshman Sonya Krezmien started the day out for the Griffs with a season best time in the 3000 of 11:03.33 shaving off 9 seconds. She followed that up with a 5:25 1500 meter race, another strong performance. Sophomore Payton Rowe ran a clean hurdle race and finished with a 10.05 in the 55 hurdles which is just off SGI Indoor Track team members Elle Russell, Mary Kate her season best 9.99 time. Chloe Beyer, Lizzy Miranda, Corrin Sacilowski, Topher Elkins, Payton Chamberlain ran a personal best Rowe, Allison Lavanture. (Not pictured, but participated: Chloe 7.69 in the 55 dash and improved Chamberlain) her sectional standings. In the weight throw Marykate Beyer through a season best 29’8.25” and Allison Lavanture jumped a season best 14’9” in the long jump. Both marks just missing sectional qualifying standards by inches. In the 1000 Lizzy Miranda ran a personal best 3:23.23 in the first heat which was a 6 second improvement. In the second heat of the 1000 Elle Russell ran a school record breaking and sectional qualifying time of 3:18.11. This broke McKenzie Maloy’s record by about a half second. In the very next race on the track Corrin Sacilowski took 3rd place overall and broke the school record by 16 seconds with a time of 7:49.6 games in the 1500 meter race walk. Corrin is now the indoor and outdoor record holder for this event. Elle and Corrin have both been working towards these goals for some time now and it’s wonderful to see two such great student athletes set and accomplish their goals. It is a pleasure to coach them and we as a coaching staff are excited to see how they and their teammates will finish out the season. Varsity Girls Basketball, Coach Bob Gainey The Varsity girls basketball team dropped a non league game to Maryvale Tuesday night by a score of 55-34. The girls could only muster up nine points in the opening half, which helped Maryvale take a big lead going into halftime. The third quarter was a different story as the team scored 17 points, led by 12 points by Julia Krzemien, to help pull the team to within 12 points going into the fourth quarter. Unfortunately the girls allowed too many easy interior baskets which stopped the girls rally. Solid performances were turned in by Julia Krzemien (game high 21 points,) Carrie Dickinson (5 points,) and Ryan Stedman played some excellent defense. Lexi Sopko did a great job of communicating and battling on the interior for offensive and defensive positioning. The girls will look to get back on track when they travel to Holland on Thursday night. The Springville Griffins varsity bowling teams competed in two road matches this week, January 23rd at Pioneer and January 24th at Lackawanna. Boys and Girls Bowling, Coach Kevin Farner The girls’ team lost at Pioneer by a score of 7-0, and won at Lackawanna 7-0. Mariah Gamel, who currently leads the ECIC Small School division with a 180 average, was top scorer both days, rolling a 212 game and a 577 series at Pioneer and 220-579 at Lackawanna. Freshman Cece Krezmien also fired a personal best 190-507 in the Lackawanna victory. The win evened the team’s season record at 4 wins, 4 losses. The boys’ team avenged their only defeat of the season with an exciting come from behind 5-2 win at Pioneer. Both the “A” team and the “B” team lost their first game to fall behind 2-0, but the determined Griffs stormed back to sweep the last two games and total pins to keep their hopes for a second consecutive division championship alive. Emmitt Collins was top scorer for Springville with a 580 series, followed closely by Daimen Skinner with 570 and Austin Coon with 214-566. The boys won 6-1 at Lackawanna, in a match that was not nearly as close but just as important in Springville’s title chase. Nick Abdo led a balanced Griffins attack with 207-593, Skinner contributed 211-579, Matt Agle had his season best with 216-572, Coon chipped in with 242-568, and Collins shot a 217 game. The entire eight-man Griffins team averaged an impressive 183 per game for the match. A look at the season long stats for the division show Abdo second overall in average and Coon third with 186 and 184. They are chasing Pioneer’s Karson Hulburt’s division leading 188. Springville tops the team standings with a 7-1 mark, followed by Pioneer’s 6-2 and Lackawanna’s 6-3. Springville’s regular season wraps up with a home contest against the Lackawanna Steelers on Jan. 31, and an away match at Eden on Feb. 6.

Snowshoe Softball Continued from front page
This past year, the Boys & Girls Club of Springville served over 500 area youth. The club provides nationally recognized programs for kids entering kindergarten through 9th grade every day yearround. “As we continue to grow and expand our programs in order to meet the diverse needs of our area youth, we’ve been fortunate enough to gain the support needed from our community in order to continue what we do,” Bobseine noted. “When we first opened our Maple Avenue facility four years ago, our goal was to succeed in achieving a recognizable positive perception with parents, residents, organizations and most importantly, the area youth in our community. In
accomplishing our goal, we have more than doubled our total youth served and we continue to find ways to reach more kids, especially those who need us most.” On a typical day, the Boys & Girls Club of Springville will serve between 60 and 85 area youth at their three programming locations, on Maple Avenue and at both Springville and Colden Elementary Schools. Bobseine added that, “We’re always looking for new board members that have a passion to give back to our community.” In addition to the Snowshoe Softball Tournament, the Boys & Girls Club has an annual Golf Classic at Springville Country Club in June, a Kickball Tournament at Concord Community Park in
July and a Bowl-A-Thon at Cascade Lanes in October. Consider supporting this youth-focused organization by attending one of these events. It’s not too late to enter the snowshoe softball tournament. Interested teams should contact Bobseine at (716) 829-9785. Even if you aren’t the snowshoe-softball type, you can show your support by cheering on your favorite team. “We are always looking for spectators to come out and enjoy the fun-filled event!” Bobseine said. Donations are also always gratefully accepted and can be sent to: Boys & Girls Club of Springville, P.O. Box 128, Springville, NY 14141.

In the bleak midwinter, thoughts turn to warmer days, longer hours of daylight, sunshine and birds singing . Ah, can you hear the music? Maybe not under all those feet of snow (or current sheets of ice from the rain…) but the music still exists! It’s alive and well in Western New York, in rain or shine or sleet or snow, with a short drive up the 219 to hear the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo. Sure, every city/region has an orchestra and concert hall. But did you know here in Western New York, we have one of the world’s “most acoustically perfect” concert halls? And have you ever heard an orchestra play a rockn-roll concert in such a setting? Magnificent! Kleinhans Music Hall was built in 1939 and designed by Eliel and Eero Saarinen, along with architects F.J. and W.A Kidd. If you look closely you can see that Kleinhans Music Hall was designed to resemble the body of a string instrument. In 1989, the hall was designated a National Historic Landmark. Kleinhans is home to the beloved BPO, led by JoAnn Falletta, who the New York Times called “one of the finest conductors of her generation.” And even if you know zero about classical music, watching her on the podium is a magical experience. Under her leadership, the BPO has become one of the most recorded orchestras in America. The BPO has 38 recordings on their own label, Beau Fleuve, and on the international classical music label Naxos. In 2009, the BPO was honored with two Grammy Awards (along with six other nominations) for their recording of John Corigliano’s Mr. Tambourine Man. Last year, the Buffalo Philharmonic presented over 120 performances that brought in close to 200,000 concert goers, not to mention the millions who heard the orchestra on national radio broadcasts and recordings. The 2016-2017 theme for the BPO season is “ignite your passion for music” and the orchestra offers a wide variety of concerts to appeal to light the flame for the masses. Whether your taste is Classical (Amadeus, Gershwin, Wagner), Pops (Carole King,
Nat King Cole, Jersey Boys), Rock (Music of Genesis, Music of Prince, Music of ABBA and the B-52s!) or a family concert (Peter Rabbit), there’s a little of all of the above waiting for you. For more information on the BPO or to purchase tickets please visit www.bpo.org or call (716) 885-5000. Upcoming concerts include: Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. Tapestry: The Carole King Songbook Timeless favorites of Carole King sung by Tonyaward nominee Liz Callaway including: I Feel the Earth Move, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Natural Woman and more. Feb. 4 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 5 at 2:30 p.m. Gershwin’s American in Paris In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday and the friendship between Canada and America, Canadian pianist Alain Lefevre joins the BPO for a performance of music from both nations.

Come see all the amazing ways to drum. Explore music from around the world with the African American Cultural Center, Lancaster High School’s Carnival Kids Steel Orchestra, Clann Na Cara Dancers, and more. March 3 at 8 p.m. Steve Hackett — Genesis Revisited Steve Hackett was lead guitarist with Genesis as part of their classic line-up with Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford. An innovative artist at the top of his game, this concert reveals his classical training, with Genesis classics from his recent Genesis Revisited release, as well as solo hits from Out of the Tunnel’s Mouth and Beyond the Shrouded Horizon.

led an effort to give a 31-acre farm site on East Main Street in Springville to the New York State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases. At the time, it was listed as a biological station. The farm would become Springville Laboratories of Roswell Park Memorial Institute. In 1914, Dr. Harvey Gaylord, the director of the Institute, put Mr. Millard Marsh in charge of the facility. In 1914, the NYS Legislature budgeted $15,000 for the facility in Springville and in 1915, another $20,000. Expansions would include a 1932 administration building and library, in 1959, a one million dollar laboratory, and in 1983, facilities to study fish. Mr. Marsh (director 19141953) would begin the work of inbreeding thousands of mice. His work would be furthered under the directorship of Dr. Leonell Strong (1953-1964). This would inevitably give Springville Labs the nickname “the mouse house.” Dr. Strong and his mouse collection left Springville in 1964, after being forced to retire from New York State, and continued his research with Dr. Jonas Salk at the Salk Institute in California. In 1964, Dr. Julius Ambrus took over as director of the facility. In 1975, Dr. Michael McGarry took over the labs from Ambrus and remained until it closed in 1993. It is important to note that the work on development of strains of mice really led to the development of understanding, diagnosing and treating many forms of cancers and other diseases. In a twenty-first century mindset, it may be a little disturbing to realize that in addition to mice, the Springville Labs raised monkeys, beagles and mongrel dogs, poultry, mutant chickens (what—no teenage mutant ninja turtles?!), horses, goats, trout and salmon. At its peak,
over 30 species of animals were kept at the labs, in addition to 60,000 mice. In the 1950s and 1960s, the labs offered educational opportunities for high school teachers as well. In the 1970s and 1980s, the Springville Laboratories also housed the NYS Department of Agricultural and Markets Mastitis Lab. (Mastitis is an infection of breasts and udders and can be detrimental to dairy operations.) Run by Cornell University, the lab was a mastitis control lab for the 11 counties of WNY. It wasn’t a job that attracted people with a fear of mice. A friend told me how she had applied for a job there one summer and when the interviewer opened a drawer and it was full of mice, she concluded it wasn’t a place she wanted to work. One of the great legacies of Springville labs should be its relationship in the connection of cancer and tobacco use. Roswell had a machine called the tar baby, which was a machine that could smoke a hundred cigarettes at time. Tar was collected and spread on mice until a tumor developed. The tumor was then removed and studied. At one point, a horse was given a mask that forced it smoke several packs of cigarettes until it died and was autopsied. It was cruel work, but the result was the ability to diagnose certain cancers related to smoking. In addition to the lab at Springville, Roswell had labs in Orchard Park and West Seneca. Attitudes toward animal research had been changing and funding was moved away from Roswell Park. The Springville Laboratories and the other labs closed in 1993. Due to several years of neglect, the laboratory building was razed a few years ago. The property is still owned by NYS.

Letter to the Editor
As the new year begins, I would like to take a minute to thank the many people who took time out from their holiday preparations to ring a bell for the Salvation Army Red Kettle Drive. Volunteers ranged from mothers and their children, to church groups; to a wonderful brass group to a lone trumpeter; as well as senior citizens and members of youth programs such as 4-H. The $8,000 collected from the Red Kettle Drive stays within our communities and provides a multitude of services through Love Inc. Many families will benefit from assistance with utilities, furniture and rent as well as medical and personal care, school supplies, diapers and formula. The Salvation Army is always here to lend a helping hand in time of a disaster. I would be remiss if I did not thank the thousands who donated during the 2016 collection. Also a big thank you to Tops, Wal-Mart and 56 Main Street for their support by allowing us to use their facilities in such a wonderful display of our caring community. The Red Kettle Drive begins in November and runs through Christmas Eve. If you or a group would like to donate two hours at a time to help us ring, please call Diane at 592-4054 and leave your address and I will contact you in the fall to see if you are interested and available. - Diane Fleckenstein

In Mrs. MacSwan’s and Mrs. Gallivan’s 4th grade ELA class at Springville Elementary, the students have read the book Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. Throughout the year they have read and analyzed poetry and learned poetry elements, such as rhyme, rhythm, free verse, repetition, metaphors, and similes. The students have now become poets themselves and were inspired by famous poets Robert Frost, Valerie Worth, and Walter Dean Myers. Please enjoy reading these poems that were written by our fourth grade poets:
