Special Meeting of the Village Planning Board to be Held By Caitlin Croft
This past Tuesday at the Village Planning Board meeting, a Site Plan modification was discussed pertaining to the new build at 35 West Washington Street. The Site Plan that was initially approved by the Planning
Board (PB) was not adhered to. During construction, there were issues with ground water leading to the foundation being 16 inches higher than approved. The PB moved for the Village to enforce a Stop Build Order until a plan of correction
can be decided upon. Due to the construction season coming to an end rapidly, a special meeting will be held this, Friday, Oct. 14 at 4:30 p.m. to have a new Site Plan Review. Two Public Hearings were held, one regarding PB-2106-

Ellicottville Students Succeed on Regents Exams By Dave Dahl
Ellicottville Central School students have performed well on Regents exams compared to students in other schools in the Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES group. The district had 20 percent of its students score in the 85to-100 range on the Regents Common Core algebra 1 exam in June. Other schools in the region showed 17.81 percent in that range. On the Regents Common Core English Language Arts exam in June, the Ellicottville district had 51.11 percent score at 85 or higher, while other schools in the region showed 54.6 percent in that range. Board of Education members saw those numbers Tuesday night in a presentation by Connie Poulin, elementary school principal and chairwoman of the Committee on Special Education and Committee on Preschool
Special Education. “We’re really a highachieving school district in terms of students doing well on their Regents exams,” she said. In addition, 34.29 percent of Ellicottville students scored between 80 and 84 on the algebra 1 exam, compared to 23.68 percent of students in the rest of the region. On the English Language Arts exam, 35.56 percent of Ellicottville students placed in the 65-to-79 range while 18.2 percent of students at the other schools placed in that range. The Ellicottville school showed 6.67 percent of students scoring from 80 to 84 on the English exam, while 15.12 percent finished in that range throughout the rest of the region. As for the Regents Common Core geometry exam, 35.14 percent of Ellicottville students scored between 65 and 79, 8.11 percent scored between 80 and
84 and 5.41 percent earned an 85 or better. Throughout the region, 47.1 percent of students placed from 65 to 79, 12.05 percent scored from 80 to 84 and 13.63 percent earned an 85 or higher. The geometry exam ranks among the most difficult, said Superintendent Mark Ward. “Geometry is a difficult test,” he said. “It’s tough.” On the Regents global history exam, 76.74 percent of Ellicottville students scored 65 or better while 72.92 percent placed in that range throughout the region. Ellicottville students’ performance on the Regents U.S. history and government exam also rated higher than the rest of the region as 93.48 percent scored 65 or better, while 87.19 percent of other schools’ students received grades in that range.

Lori Northrup, president of the Parelli Foundation Board of Directors, has been named New York State Horse Council’s “2016 Horseperson of the Year.â€? The Horseperson of the Year award is given annually to someone who has served the equine community at the highest level, with a demonstrated awareness and interest in the horse industry as well as serving to improve the care, use or treatment of animals. “Lori is an amazing individual,â€? said Stephen Ropel, president of the New York State Horse Council. “She consistently strives to make this a better world for horses. She leads by example and encourages horsemen and women to be lifelong learners when it comes to working with horses.â€? In addition to helping create the non-proďŹ t 501(c)(3) Parelli Foundation, and serving as its
board president, she has also been a longtime president and board member of Friends of Sound Horses (FOSH). FOSH is a nonproďŹ t initiative designed to call attention to, and bring an end to, the mistreatment of many Tennessee Walker show horses. Along with her nonproďŹ t work, Northrup rides trails many days, hosts a local trail event each year, and raises and trains her own horses.
She is founder and chairman of North Park Innovations Group, a high-tech New York manufacturing company. “I am thrilled to be honored by the New York State Horse Council,� said Northrup. “I just do what I love to do; so being recognized for that is really icing on the cake when it comes to my work with horses and natural horsemanship.�

Lady Eagles Volleybash Continued from front page
advancing past the Lady Eagles from Ellicottville. Olean and Ellicottville actually split their games against each other, but because of the round robin format, the margin of victory became the deciding factor on who would make the playoffs. Ellicottville lost out by only one point. Unfortunately, Lady Eagle Alissa Gregory sprained her ankle on a dig their previous game against Forestville and was sidelined for the rest of the tournament. With all of their big guns healthy, the Varsity girls would have done much better than what their third place in their pool indicated. Not the case for the JV girls! The JV squad, with great team play, advanced to the championship game. The JV Eagles beat Olean (OHS), Cattaraugus-Little Valley (CLV) and Forestville, claiming ďŹ rst place in their pool. The way the tournament was set up, only the ďŹ rst and second place teams in their respective pools advanced to the playoffs. Two pools of four teams in both Varsity/ JV consisted of ECS, OHS, CLV and Forestville in Pool A/C and Allegany Limestone,
Cassadaga Valley, Salamanca and Chautauqua Lake in pool B/D. Chautauqua Lake ended up winning pool D with a perfect record. In the semis, it was Ellicottville playing second-place Cassadaga Valley, and Chautauqua against CLV. Ellicottville split with Cassadaga Valley, but won the tie breaker 15 -13 in a very exciting battle of two very evenly matched teams. Chautauqua, on the other hand, made short work of CLV, winning in two straight sets, advancing, along with the Lady Eagles, to the championship game. The Thunderbirds maintained their winning ways and beat the Eagles in two straight, 25-17 and 25-13 to win the JV title. Still, the Lady Eagles were proud of their second place ďŹ nish, knowing that they bested six very good teams, four of which had fallen prey to their excellent play along the way.

ECS Board Continued from front page
In Regents living environment, formerly known as biology, 97.5 percent of Ellicottville students scored 65 or higher, while in the rest of the area, 84.42 percent of students scored in that range. In another matter, the board canceled the Spanish Club’s trip to Spain planned for February. Ward explained that only four students signed up, none of which were seniors. He expects a different trip to be scheduled next year. Visiting Costa Rica or Peru would be much more affordable than going to Europe, he added. “It’s a huge difference,” he said of the cost. He believes the expense probably caused many families to shy away from the trip to Spain.
“Some of our families just don’t have the bucks,” he said. Board members also approved the following coaches for the winter season: • Dave McCann for varsity boys basketball. • Ryan Winchip for junior varsity boys basketball. • Chris Keenan for modified boys basketball. • Chad Bartoszek for varsity girls basketball. • Katie Taylor for junior varsity girls basketball. • Tammy Eddy for modified girls basketball. • Kelly Fredrickson for alpine skiing. • Deb McGowan for bowling. • Diana Olson for basketball cheerleading. • Karl Schwartz and Matt
Finn as volunteer boys basketball assistants. • Mary Neilon for weightlifting/training. The board also authorized payments to the directors for the sixth-through-eighthgrades musical. Board members also approved the superintendent’s request to create a technical support specialist position tentatively effective Oct. 18. The board also approved advisers. Board members named Colleen Bower as Odyssey of the Mind adviser. They also named the following as the Homework Club’s academic tutors: Heather Reed, Leah Klahn, Caitlin Keller, April Donoghue, James Przybyla,
Sandy Tomblin, Bill Delity, Gay Fitzpatrick, Chelsea Cole, Shannon Palmatier, Lynette Sexton, Melanie Van Wicklin, Dan LaCroix and Cathie Nason. The following have been named as Homework Club substitutes: Tracie Myers, Scott Wilson, Kim Woodarek, Diana Olson, Tammy Peters, Katie Taylor, Therese Pierce, Kelly McMahon, Kathy Weller, Marie Kleiderlein and Karen Morton. Morton will also serve as substitute computer lab monitor and substitute detention monitor. Board members also added Katelynn Smith and Charlene Carr to the substitute teacher list at $68 per day. The board also named Joshua
Freundschuh to the substitute teacher list at $78 per day. In another matter, the board authorized the superintendent to purchase electricity from Energy Co-op of America at the indexed rate of 1.13 cents per kilowatt hour. The board’s next meeting is set for 7 p.m. Oct. 25 in the high school’s library.

Rotary Club of Ellicottville and The American Legion Kids Halloween Party This year again, the Rotary Club of Ellicottville, Foundation for Youth and The American Legion sponsor a community Halloween party at the American Legion on Maples Road in Ellicottville. On Monday, Oct. 31, from 6 to 8 p.m. kids 12 and under will have the opportunity to Trick or Treat at this indoor location. Games, crafts, hay rides (weather permitting) and scary fun for the whole family, with candy and other treats for the kids! This party is free for children and has established itself as the place to be on Halloween. Donation boxes will be at the entrance for you to donate to The Rotary Foundation for Youth, many worthwhile causes. If you would like to donate candy/prizes or volunteer to help, please contact Colleen Blanchard at 699-8066. See you there for some scary fun!
a.m. This free program will last approximately two hours. Registration is not required. For more information, visit the Allegany State Park Facebook page or contact Katie Vecellio at (716) 354-9101 x236. Didn’t get a chance to see the all-new Quaker Bathhouse this season? Now’s your chance! On Oct. 15, from 7 to 8:30 p.m., spend an evening listening to some great music by the fireside. Local musician Ken Hardley will be performing in what will be one of the last events for the season in the new lakeside room. The event is free and family-friendly. For more information, contact the Environmental Education/ Recreation Department at (716) 354-9101 ext. 236 or Katie.vecellio@parks.ny.gov. Staying in the park Tent, trailer or RV? The popular Red House Loops offer dozens of camp sites, all with electric hookups. Loop A offers easy accessibility to the paved bike path that leads around Red House Lake and to various other points of interest. Loops B and D are great for those camping in groups who want to be in the middle of all the action. Loops C and E offer more private sites, many of which back up to the woods. The sites will remain open through mid-November. Over on Quaker, non-electric camp sites can be found on Diehl, and Cain Hollow offers many additional sites that are away from it all, some of which have electric hookups. If cabins are more up your alley, there are many to choose from. On Red House, all cabin trails, with the exception of the Ryan Trail, are open yearround. Take your pick of full service cottages (Bova) to large
three room cabins (Beehunter) to one-room style with builtins (Congdon) and everything in between. If you prefer the Quaker side of the park in the winter, only certain cabin trails (Angle, Diehl, Gypsy and Weller) offer year-round rentals. Full service cottages are also available on Parallel and Fancher trails, and Group Camp 5 is available year-round for groups. Note that pets are only allowed in some of the fullservice cottages; be sure to read all the info on each specific one before you reserve. Minimum stay at in-park accommodations this time of year is two nights. For more info, or to reserve, visit www. reserveamerica.com. Dining The popular Park Restaurant, located inside the Red House Administration Building, will remain open for the season through mid-November. Save yourself time in the kitchen or over the campfire and head there for some delicious fare. The restaurant has a full menu with daily specials, and has a beautiful new patio that overlooks the lake. Stop in Friday evening for their famous fish fry, or check out the Sunday breakfast buffet, featuring an omelet station, breakfast meats, baked goods and more. If you prefer to cook, but forgot that one ingredient, or even a foil pan to cook it in, the Red House General store will
be open until the camp sites are. And just what is there to do in the park this time of year? The better question is what isn’t there to do? Hiking in the fall is breathtaking. Pick up a park map at either rental office, and select a trail that’s right for you. A variety of terrain and distances provide numerous opportunities for leisurely or more serious hikes. For campers, shorter days translate into earlier nighttime activities. Driving around the park with a bright light is always a hit, and entails shining a spotlight (found at any sporting goods store) into open areas of the park in the hope of spying some nocturnal ASP critters. Now’s your chance to possibly see raccoons, deer, possums, skunks or even a bear. Bring a kayak or canoe and explore the park’s three lakes. Or enjoy them from the shore with a fishing pole. Check out some of the indoor places of interest inside the park, such as the Red House Administration Building and the Quaker Museum. With the peak summer season behind us, fall is a great time to check out some of the most popular park destinations, like Thunder Rocks, the Stone Tower and the Bear Caves, while the crowds are smaller. With 65,000 acres to explore, come see what ASP has to offer in the upcoming months and year-round!

In Emma Donoghue’s latest masterpiece, an English nurse has been brought to a small Irish village to observe what appears to be a miracle. An eleven year old girl is said to have survived without food for months. With tourists flocking to the cabin of Anna O’Donnell, who believes herself to be living off manna from heaven, and the press sowing doubt, the baffled community looks to an outsider to bring the truth to light. Written with all the propulsive tension that made Room a huge bestseller, The Wonder works beautifully on many levels. A tale of two strangers who transform each other’s lives, a powerful psychological thriller, and a story of love pitted against evil. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available in large print using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Skin Elasticity After Weight Loss
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Cer tified Trainer
Recently, one of my clients, who has lost a lot of weight, wondered if she would ever regain elasticity of her skin to match her weight loss. As much as I wanted to tell her that strength training alone will be the answer to all of her prayers, I know better. I’ve been in this business long enough to see the reality versus the myth of sagging skin after excessive weight loss. When you work to lose a bunch of weight, you dream of a tighter, toned body. You don’t picture extra, loose skin. But that’s a real possibility, and one that can cause health problems and a poor self-image. “It’s frustrating to patients who have put all this hard work and commitment into their weight loss journey and new bodies to be left with extra skin that doesn’t reflect that effort,” says Jason B. Lichten, MD, a plastic surgeon in Columbus, OH. “Often, they feel that
their extra skin hangs on them the same way their old clothes from before their weight loss would, only they can’t take it off.” Why Skin Doesn’t Snap Back The elasticity of your skin depends on how long you were obese. The longer it was stretched out, the less likely it is to bounce back. “It’s like a balloon,” says Marie Jhin, MD, a dermatologist in San Francisco. “When you first blow up a balloon, it’s really small and tight. You have to stretch it first,” she says. “But when it’s deflated, it doesn’t return to its original shape.” A lot of it has to do with age and genetics, too. She says, “Everyone starts to lose [elastic tissue] as they get older.” There are several reasons why losing a slow and steady one or two pounds a week is the ideal rate at which to lose. Saving your skin’s elasticity is one of them. The more quickly you lose your weight, the more likely you are to have a problem with excess skin. In addition to slow and steady weight loss, you can also build muscle to shape the tissue underneath the skin. Maintaining or increasing muscle tissue is the key to minimizing loose skin. Remember, the phenomenon
occurs when the underlying layers of tissue shrink under a much larger surface area. If muscle mass is lost in addition to fat, it creates an even larger void under your skin’s surface. On the other hand, increasing lean tissue fills the area underneath the skin, keeping it taut. Lastly, make sure to keep protein intake high. During caloric deficit, this will not only prevent the loss of lean mass, but also ensure that you have the optimum amount for building muscle. So how do you know if you should consider surgery? If excess skin is causing an actual medical problem (e.g. chafing that leads to skin infections), you may need to consider surgery. You might also want to have a procedure performed simply to improve the appearance of your body after weight loss. So what’s the bottom line? Worrying about the likelihood of having loose skin is no reason to put off losing weight. Losing weight will leave you healthier and will most likely lead to a longer, fuller life. If you have loose skin after weight loss, talk to your doctor about skin tightening surgeries and methods that can approve both the function and the look of your body.

No! This article isn’t about a new recipe for nonbeef avored wieners, but rather another breed of dog, one speciďŹ cally developed for the hunting of turkeys. You might not know it, but the use of dogs is allowed to hunt turkeys in the fall in New York State. In fact, the use of dogs dates back some 400 years, when the British colonized Virginia, bringing their quail hunting dogs with them in 1607, 14 years before the ďŹ rst Thanksgiving feast was recorded in November of 1621 at Plymouth. Virginia is still the number one state to use dogs for their autumn hunts, and over the course of time, have been responsible for developing the most popular breed of turkey hunting dogs. They started out crossing pointers and setters, and along the way, introduced some hound into the mix. The end result is what is unofďŹ cially called the Appalachian Turkey Dog. The breed is not a recognized breed by the American Kennel Club, but is deďŹ nitely recognized by the turkey hunter and, more importantly, the turkey itself. Although breeding of turkey dogs dates back to colonial times, the person responsible for the Appalachian Turkey Dog is the late John Byrne, of Virginia, who passed away in 2012 at the age of 87. Byrne selectively bred a line of pointers and setters with the Plott hound. The idea was to create a dog that roamed far and fast, picking up the scent of turkeys, tracking them
down, scattering the ock and barking to let the hunter know his whereabouts. The breed is recognized by its black and white makings, oppy, hound-like ears and a medium build. The purpose of a dog in today’s hunts is to locate and scatter a ock of birds, hens, jakes and toms, all fair game in the fall hunt. Once the birds have scattered, the hunter sets himself down in a concealed location with his dog back by his side. The scattered birds will try to relocate one another and fall to the hunters call, thinking one of their misplaced relatives is nearby. The dog’s work is almost done. In the event the hunter does not get a clean kill, his dog will take over the duty of tracking down the wounded bird, stopping it dead if necessary. Many a bird has been lost when hunting without a dog. Fall hunting is considerably harder than spring hunting and accounts for considerably fewer turkeys harvested. Adding a dog to the mix increases the odds and the ease in which a hunter can ďŹ ll his single bird quota for the season. The Appalachian Turkey Dog is not the only breed to be used in turkey hunting, and depending on your region or interests, any breed of dog used in upland game will work, as it is the natural instinct of the dog to chase a turkey once spotted. The trick is for the dog to recognize the scent and track the turkey ock and return back to hunter once the ock has scattered.
The training takes place out of season and is allowed by law on wild small game Aug. 15 through April 15. The term “feathers in the mouthâ€? coined by Byrne is his top teaching tool. Exposing the dog to the turkey’s scent as often as possible is the surest way to develop his turkey hunting ability. In the beginning, the use of the dog training collar will help you call your dog back if out of ear shot and keep your dog focused on speciďŹ c game rather than getting distracted by other animals, including other dogs. Your dog also needs to be desensitized to the sound of your shotgun blast. With turkey season opening this weekend, Oct. 15, consider working with your dog. Important tips to keep in mind are: not to interfere with another hunter, use a hunter orange collar on your dog, tread cautiously yourself and eliminate any of the telltale turkey colors (red, white and blue) from your own wardrobe. By the way, it has also been proven that clothing, without a camouage print, in natural earth tones will still fool a turkey if you keep still and break up your silhouette with some sort of cover. Dog hunters will also drape a camo or burlap cloth over their dog in a blind. Remember a scattered ock will more often than not return to the break site, so setup, sit back and call softly; I’m sure you’ll ďŹ nd hunting with your dog exciting, enjoyable and rewarding.

Girls Varsity Soccer Preps for Sectionals By Alicia Dziak
The Varsity girls soccer squad is made up of only one senior, 11 juniors, four sophomores and one eighth grader, led by coach Eric Holler, a SGI high school teacher. As of late last week, the girls were 6-5 overall and 5-4 in division. “We won the games I anticipated that we should win and lost the games
that I figured would be a challenge,” explained Holler. “Holland beat us twice and has been atop the division for as long as I can remember, and not too long ago won states. Tonawanda also beat us twice and were in the sectional semifinal last year, and lost to eventual state runner-up. So, our four division losses were to quality programs.

Dr. Allen A. Bates was born in Otto, NY in 1836 and studied electric medicine in Toronto before coming to Springville around 1880. In 1885, Dr. Bates built the house as a residence and electric sanitarium. For over 25 years, Dr. Bates administered electric medicine to patients from all over the area. I have found several instances where his practice
may have not been safe. Most notable was in December 1898, when Springville resident Nathan Goddard died at the Bates Sanitarium from a “cardiovascular event.â€? It would be likely that the treatment could have caused the heart attack; whether or not this incident made Dr. Bates give up the practice is not known. According to his obituary in May 1925, â€œâ€Śhe
had not practiced medicine in many years and had grown feeble in the last few years of his life.� It was noted that he had a great number of friends that he hosted at his beautiful home for many years. Since the days when Dr. Bates gave up his practice, the Bates Electric Sanitarium has been a private home.

WNY Community Prescription Drug Take-Back Day at BCH Oct. 22 Bertrand Chaffee Hospital (BCH) in Springville will be a site for the DEA National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This location will be staffed by pharmacists and pharmacy students, and law enforcement officers will be present at all sites. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Bring your unused or expired prescription
drugs to this convenient dropoff site at the front entrance of BCH at 224 East Main Street. Medicines in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. This event aims to provide a safe, convenient and responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs, while also educating the general public about the potential for abuse of medications.
Last April, Americans turned in 447 tons (over 893,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,400 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 11 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 6.4 million pounds—about 3,200 tons—of pills.

St. Paul’s Episcopal Church hosts Pet Blessing
Reverend Gary Schindler blesses Freddie at the annual Pet Blessing in Fiddler’s Green Park.
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Springville held its annual Pet Blessing on Friday Oct. 7, 2016. The annual event began in the church many years ago. However, about five years ago, the church brought the pet blessing to the public in Fiddler’s Green Park. Though it is common to see a dog and a cat at the blessing, According to Rev. Schindler, some of the pets they have blessed included a rat, chickens and even a snake. Pet Blessings are commonly celebrated in the Roman Catholic and Episcopalians churches. The blessing of pets and animals is often celebrated on Oct. 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, or on a Sunday near that date. This is also set to coincide as the culminating conclusion for the Season of Creation.

were competitive in the games, but didn’t make the most of our opportunities.” This week, the team played three league games at Lackawanna, JFK and Eden, and Holler noted the importance of showing up “ready to play and string together a full 80 minute effort.” Following regular season play, “Sectionals are after that and anything can happen there,” Holler said. “My expectation is to at least win a couple games and see where it goes from there.” Holler added that, “For the remainder of the regular season, it is just working hard and winning the games we should in preparation for sectionals. We must do our best to win out our divisional games in order to have a better seed for sectionals. Our biggest competition has yet Experience the to be determined. With the majority of the season over, Emerling Difference! we must focus on our next game and make sure we take care of business one game at a time. Once in sectionals, each SELECT VEHICLES opponent will be dangerous and that will be our biggest competition.” According to Holler, the team’s key players include: captain Jena Schelble, who contributes with goals and assists, takes all the set pieces (goal kicks, corner kicks, etc.) and challenges every 50/50 ball; Grace Zabawa, who SCORE BIG WITH TOP NOTCH SERVICE contributes offensively and is the top scorer, challenges 50/50 balls and has a solid work rate; Talia Mangano and Nyah Solly, core of the defense, who Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram the both have a lot of pressure on www.emerlingjeep.com • 195 West Main Street, Springville NY them and must defend against 716-592-2881 skilled and fast paced strikers;

and captain Carrie Dickinson, the goalie. “Goalie will always be important, and can be the difference in a game,” Holler noted. “A timely save can serve as momentum and give the team the opportunity to win it.” Holler sees the team’s biggest strength as the relationships on the team. “The girls genuinely like one another and have developed a good bond,” he said. Their biggest challenge is the lack of experience. “Springville doesn’t have the same amount of girls playing soccer year-round as other programs do. Therefore, it presents challenges on chemistry and skill level,” Holler explained. “With that said, we have pretty good chemistry and skill level is there...just need the consistency.” As far as reaching the
season’s goals? “Each player filled out team and individual goals for the year and I did as well,” Holler said. “The consensus was that we wanted to be competitive in every game, win more than we lose, become a ‘family,’ and continually improve. We have done that so far and want to continue that into sectionals and even offseason. I felt we had a chance to win the division if we stole a couple games versus Tonawanda and Holland and got some help. Unfortunately, we couldn’t pull out the wins and we are sitting in the middle of the division. The goal is to win games in sectionals, upset a few teams.” Best of luck to the Varsity girls as they wrap up their regular season this week!

By Alicia Dziak
The modified girls team is made up of 10 eighth graders, eight seventh graders and one sixth grade team manager, and I’m lucky enough to be their coach. The Lady Griffs’ six returning eighth graders all know the sport and make important contributions to the team. Logan Lukert stepped up to play goalie this year, and is doing a fantastic job, especially developing her punting skills and being a team leader as one of the team’s three captains. The other eighth grade captain is Ava Dziak, who can be counted on at midfield and to step in on defense. Mabel Robinson and Caitlyn Hazen are two of our fastest and most aggressive players, both effective at stopper and offense. Shelby Stisser and Shay Ellis have both been key at defense, as well as being in a position to score. Newcomer Jackie Roggie, also an eighth grader, has used to her speed to really help out the offense as well. Seventh grade captain Dru Robinson has had a great year
so far, using her speed and knowledge of the game to be our leading scorer. Seventh grader Brooke Walker has been able to drive through the defense and girls on the opposing teams who are much bigger than she is. So far this season, the girls have only played four games, and are currently at 1-2-1, having won over Lake Shore, with a tie against Eden and losses to Pioneer and East Aurora. Pioneer has been the stiffest competition, as they have traditionally had a very strong girls soccer program. At this level, the record isn’t as important as the development of the players. Every girl gets a chance to play various positions, to build their skills and their confidence. We’ve worked a lot on supporting each other and being a team; I hope to drive home to these girls that they are all part of any success we may have, and that they need to work together to achieve that success. It’s not seventh graders versus eighth graders, or starters versus nonstarters—it’s one team of 18 girls who all need each other in order to succeed.
After scrimmages and games, we evaluate our performance as a team, and gear the next practices toward what specific improvements we need to make, in addition to continually building on the basic skills. For the seventh graders, this is their first school sport, and I want them to like it! I want all the girls to see how fun it is to be part of a team, and how great it feels when they make a good play. Middle school can be tough, so if these girls can come to practice every day after school, knowing that there are 17 other girls and a coach who are cheering them on, then that’s a good feeling. Overall, the girls have done an awesome job improving this season. With six games to go, the games are not even halfway over, and I am confident that they will continue to be more aggressive, communicate more and gain a thorough understanding of all the positions on the field as we head into the home stretch. We next face off against Holland on Friday.
Girls Varsity Swimming
Best Dual Season in Over a Decade
Submitted by SGI Varsit y SwimmingCoach Karen Reynolds
We finished with a league record of 7-1 and a non-league record of 8-1-1. This year’s team is going to be very well represented at both our B meet and our ECIC championship. We will have 13 girls attending this Saturday’s B meet and 15 girls representing SGI at ECIC’s next week. Members of our B Meet squad are: Alix Dubel, Andra Wissing, Avery Boyles, Chloe Milbrand, Erin Jurkowski, Haley Patterson, Hannah Bergener, Madisyn Emley, Oliva Langa, Samantha Yetter, Shannon O’Hara, Sydney Stisser, and Katie Wolf. These magnificent 13 have worked extremely hard and I know that their hard work is going to pay off Saturday as they dominate the B Meet and bring home many ribbons. Last Friday, the girls dual meet of the season became a reality as we have been preparing and focusing our entire dual season on this meet vs. Eden. Our team goal this year was to beat Eden, making SGI 2nd in the league (East Aurora 1st). When the girls started the meet, the 200 medley relay team of Allie Lavanture, Carley Delaney, Anna Lawton, and Elle Holland took 1st place with their sectional time of 2:06.35. Our B Medley relay was also stacked with Lauren Ditchey leading off in backstroke, Kierstin Komenda in breast, Lexi Blesy in fly, and Abby Moscato in free, finishing 3rd, giving SGI another point. From that 7-3 scoreboard lead, SGI never put the brakes on for the remaining 11 events. McKenzie Galvin took a 1st in the 200 free and teammate Sydney Emley took 3rd. Elle Holland and Kierstin Komenda took a 1st and 3rd respectively in the 200 IM making the score 17-9 (SGI). Anna Lawton and Allie Lavanture plowed through the 50 free getting 2nd and 3rd. Galvin and Emley again back in the water together for that “dreadful” 500 yard swim. However, neither of them struggle with this swim—they are both strong teammates that glide through the water making 20 lengths look effortless. Their 1st and 3rd place finished pushed Eden further away as the score then became 37-29. The nail digger to Eden was when the 100 back entered the water and Allie Lavanture and Sadie Olrogg took 1st and 2nd respectively making the score 48-36! The 100 breastroke was going to be a tough race and fight to the end, but the strong finishes by Carley Delaney (2nd place) and Lauren Ditchey (3rd place) held the 12 point differential in the score, making our 400 free relay breathe a little easier. However, the team did not stop there. The 400 free relay of Holland, Lawton, Sydney Emley, and Galvin not only took a 1st place, but received a new pool record! The final score was 59-43….and cheers filled the pool arena! Tuesday, the girls swam a non-league meet vs. Hamburg (large school). To all of our surprise, we won 58-44! These girls are so deserving of all their wins and I know we have more great things to come in our post-season meets. Congratulations SGI Lady Griffs and keep on swimming!

Coaches’ Corner Varsity Football, coach Eric Jantzi, assistant coach Rob Valenti The varsity GrifďŹ ns traveled to Dunkirk this past Friday night for a big league contest with both teams jockeying for good playoff seeds. This contest would prove to be over early as Dunkirk controlled the line of scrimmage the entire night. Their defense all but shut down Springville’s offense the entire ďŹ rst half. Springville was ďŹ nally to get things rolling in the second half, but it was too little...too late. The ďŹ nal score was 40-6. The Griffs are back home this Friday night to take on East Aurora/Holland. Springville needs a win to get the team a spot in the playoffs. Girls Varsity Volleyball, coach Kristin Hughey The girls varsity volleyball team won on the road against Tonawanda last week, beating the Warriors 3-1.The team kept their focus, serving smart, hitting well and playing great defense at the net. Caroline Roy had an outstanding match with 12 kills, nine blocks and four ace serves. Her intensity and focus lead her team to victory. Outstanding defensive play by Sydney Rosati again, as she passed for 25 assists on the match, and served 12 points. Setters Jessica Roggie and Meadow Wittman played smart offense using each of their hitters’ strengths, as well as serving tough for their team. The girls once again beat Cleveland Hill in three straight games on Tuesday. Senior, outside hitter Lexi Sopko played great with 8 kills and 3 aces, Sarah Zimmer had 5 kills and 3 assists, and senior, captain Chloe Wnuk had 5 assists and 2 kills. setters Meadow Wittman and Jessica Roggie played a tremendous match and lead their team to victory yet again. The team’s league record is now 8W and 3L. The girls face Eden on Monday. Girls JV Volleyball, coach Robert Gainey The JV girls volleyball team is on a roll! They came away with an emphatic 3-0 win last Thursday night to move their overall record to 10-1. The team saw Abby Stressinger serve out a huge run to help lead the team to victory in game one. Game two started off a little shaky but ended up as another win for Springville. The team ďŹ nished the sweep in game three behind solid play from all players. The team capped off a tremendous week of competition with a resounding 3-0 win over Tonawanda. The girls took game one by a score of 25-8. Excellent play was turned in by Alyssa Hunter and Sara Ehlers to help lead the way. The girls continued their dominance in game two behind the strong serving of Morgan Christ and consistent play from Amber Nichols to lead the team to a 25-7 win. The girls ďŹ nished the sweep thanks in part to Vaidah Emerling’s hustle and Mary DiGangi’s excellent net play. Great job ladies! The girls hosted Cleveland Hill last night and took home a dominating 3-0 win. The girls started fast in game one behind the great play from Abby Stressinger on the service line and Alyssa Hunters excellent passing. The girls didn’t miss a beat in the second game taking that one 25-11. That game saw some terriďŹ c overall play by Marin Lehr and Emily Ehlers. The girls took the third game convincingly behind the consistent serving of Ashley Blesy and consistent net play from Vaidah Emerling. The girls are now 11-1 and look to avenge their only loss of the year when they host Eden on Monday night Girls ModiďŹ ed Soccer, coach Alicia Dziak The girls have been practicing hard as they get ready to face neighboring Holland on Friday, Oct. 14. That will mark the ďŹ fth game and halfway point of their game season. Next week, the girls face East Aurora and Lake Shore at home on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. Cross Country, coach Chad Russell, assistant coach Steven Dillsworth Springville Girls’ Cross Country wins ECIC Division IV League Title. The Springville boys ďŹ nished second in Division IV. The girls raced against Cleveland Hill and JFK schools at Cleveland Town Park. The SGI Girls defeated both teams by the score of 15-50 to run the seasonal league meets undefeated and winning the division. Sonya Krezmien, Elle Russell, Gwen and Samantha Fruehauf, and Morgan Lukert were the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve ďŹ nishers in the tri-meet. Gabbey PďŹ efer and Miya Domes ďŹ nished before the other teams’ third runners to help the team score. The girls next meet is at Evangola Park next week Friday. Congratulations to the girls and good luck! The SGI boys cross country team ďŹ nished second in the league in their best ďŹ nish in the 10 years that the sport has come back to Springville. The boys ran very well to defeat JFK 25-30, and Cleveland Hill 24-31. The race was close halfway through, but toward the end of the race, Nick Abdo lead the team with a tight pack of four behind him. In the pack, Kurt Uschold, Nathan Myers, Zack Peterman and Brett Russell showed their strength and out-numbered the other schools. Elliot Emley, Justin Paler and Luke Waterman ran strong races to help separate Springville from the other teams. Middle School Miya Domes and Jaime Dickinson ran strong for the varsity Cross Country Team to help win the Division Title. Austin Yetter, Harley Maloy and Kasey Waterman all had their best time for a 5k race yesterday in the guys team’s double win to take second place in the division.
including name, contact information, organization represented (if applicable), and a description of the topic you wish to speak about at the business meeting. “Comments also may be made in writing to the Board. Correspondence should be addressed to: Springville-GrifďŹ th Institute Central School District, Board of Education, 307 Newman Street, Springville, NY 14141,â€? from the district website. It is made known that the Board of Education meetings are recorded and made available to the public on the website at www.springvillegi.org, under the tab “Board of Edâ€?. BOE Meeting Highlights Superintendent Moritz started by saying that they will ďŹ rst discuss the response to intervention plan, and introduces Director of Special Education, Rochelle Sarikey. Sarikey discussesd the updates to the response to intervention plan, a planning project in which a team of 15 teaching staff and specialists such as Dr. Lisa Kilanowski, (an associate professor of school psychology of Niagara University since 2006) were invited to help go through the process, as well as went to a conference through the NYS task force to response to intervention. For more of an explanation of the Response to Intervention Plan, from the BOE attachments 10/11/16: “Response to Intervention is a school process used to determine if a student is responding to classroom instruction and progressing as expected. In an RTI process, a student who is struggling receives additional instructional support provided by matching instruction to a student’s individual needs through a multi-tiered instructional model. In the RTI model, screening is conducted on all students three times a year. Screening is a quick assessment that measures a student’s skills expected for his/her grade level based on national norms. This will
Cross country
identify students who are considered at-risk of not learning the necessary skills expected for the student’s age or grade level.â€? Moritz added, “It’s all about improving learning for our children, not about proving whether they can do it or not do it.â€? There are many resources provided by the district to learn about these programs, and administrators are happy to help if you have any questions on how to receive that information. President Duwe spoke about their previous board retreat and the results. She stated, “One of the board objectives was for the board to jointly study the topic of a whole-child approach to education, with the goal of the board coming up with what we think what our deďŹ nition of that is. We are not coming up with a new plan; this is an opportunity for the administration staff and parents to also be having conversations that can help to enrich the district, and help to ďŹ gure out whether there are any policy program or pro-development topics or implications that come out of us talking about [the changes to Common Core]. There’s tons of information out there, and we can all read plenty- we are trying to curate a set of readings for each meeting.â€? Related to recess, playing as learning from K-12, and other issues that have come up in the community regarding Common Core, regarding whether it’s even possible to ďŹ t play into the school day for most teachers, and what the standards will allow for. There is concern for the wellness policy, having the recess just be “recommended,â€? it needs to be given the time to really be had. Moritz welcomes suggestions and concerns to be expressed to her or board members; however, this is a public school system, and once they meet requirements, these things need to be ďŹ t in. “There is a balance to this discussion, and it will be a discussion for a long time,â€? she said. “We need
to balance reality and what we are expected to do,â€? and what is necessary for excellence at school. English has submitted his ofďŹ cial letter of resignation from the Board of Education to District Clerk Tucker, and President Duwe, for the sake of public record, requested an ofďŹ cial motion on the decision. English stated, “This by far, with the relocation to Atlanta, has been the hardest thing to do, is to leave this group and move away from this district.â€? English was presented a going away gift from the district. Michael Connors made the motion to accept English’s resignation, and Jennifer Sullivan seconded, and motion carried. Cerrone spoke about being the delegate for the New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) convention at the end of the month. Please send him any notes of anything you are for or against, and he can take that toward the voting as your local spokesperson. His contact information can be found on the Springville-GI district website. Happy School Board Recognition Week! Moritz expressed gratitude for the Springville-GI Board of Education’s service and hard work. Consensus Items and Other Notes There were several items voted in consensus, information about the SES roof approval, the audit committee report, much more new education assessment and programming information, as well as evaluation tool information, and more pertinent information to local taxpayers. Interested parties may listen to the full meeting on the district website, as well as view any items or documents associated with this meeting. The next Board of Education regular business meeting will be held Nov. 14, 2016, at 7 p.m. in the high school’s library media center.

Halloween Continued from front page
The Flower Stand on Route 240 and the vegetable stand next to it can help you decorate for fall and eat seasonally, with a little free library and fall photo stands for children. Jake’s Greenhouse has a large selection of pumpkins and gourds, and their fresh apples are in, just in time for caramel apples, a Halloween favorite. Awald Farms of North Collins boasts the biggest and best giant pumpkins, homemade crafts, and face painting. Of course, at Wednesdays’ Gentner’s Springville Auction, you’re sure to find the perfect pumpkin and produce you’re looking for. There are also many roadside stands in our rural area that could have the right Jack-o’lantern for you… an autumn drive in the country is always recommended at this time of year. The Concord Public Library invites you to “put on a costume, bring the kids, and get into the Halloween spirit!” They are having their annual Pumpkin Party on Thursday, Oct. 27 from 5-6 p.m. Children and their parents can play BINGO, decorate their own mini-pumpkin, and create a bag for trick-or-treating, then trickor-treat inside of the library, with the friendly library staff. Registration is a must, and this popular annual event fills up fast; call 592-7742 or stop in to sign your child(ren) up soon! You should also check out some of their great Halloween books, while there. From cute to spooky to downright scary (I’m looking at you, “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated, terrifyingly, by Stephen Gammell), Springville’s public library surely has something for a little monster you love. At school, traditionally the children of Springville Elementary School will have

a costume parade, out through the back of the school, down the sidewalk connecting the school parking lots, and through the middle school, then back to SES, usually to have a small class party (the parade is weather-permitting; when the weather is bad, the parade has been conducted inside of the SES gymnasium/cafeteria). For more information, ask your child’s teacher. Middle and high school students are also able to dress up, as long as they follow school dress codes. Universal Pre-K students at Early Bird also have a costume parade inside of their building. Each year, the Village of Springville also conducts a Halloween costume paradethis year to be held on Oct. 29, at 12 p.m. Presented by the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce, the parade is held rain or shine, and prizes are awarded to costumed children and pets. Businesses will have treats to hand out to participants of the parade, and will be helping to judge the costume parade and hand out the prizes to the winners of the costume competitions. The parade heads through downtown Springville; please see the Village website at www.villageofspringvilleny. com for more information. As for Halloween night in Springville, it is expected to
begin around dusk, and as in previous years, have curfews of 7 p.m. in the business district, and 9 p.m. in the rest of the village. Please be advised that these curfews will be enforced. Looking for a family fun day trip? Head out to Pumpkinville! Peanuts fans, Pumpkinville has been named an official Peanuts Worldwide partner, and is participating in a nation-wide celebration of the 50th anniversary of “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, annual favorite. With Pumpkinville an honored official partner, 2016’s corn maze is “Peanuts”-themed, and sports the WYRK-FM Country 106.5 logo, as they sponsor the maze. Pumpkinville has also been rated as one of the top 10 corn mazes in the USA. Pumpkinville Express is another new fun feature: a seven-minute train ride around the Pumpkinville pumpkin patch.

MOPS: An International Organization with Local Love By Ashlee O akley
Samantha Skura and Jenna Kellerman are two mommas on a mission. They are in their first year of running the local group for MOPS (Mothers of Pre-Schoolers), an international Christian organization that helps mothers of young children feel as though they have value and caring companions, beyond the day-to-day of parenting young children. Kellerman states, “We meet once a month, and we have ‘mentor moms’ who are background-checked that provide volunteer childcare while the mothers group watches a video, does crafts, and just chats.” Skura adds, “It’s time with other people in our situation. We can commiserate together if we need to, we can celebrate together, or laugh, or cry— all of those vast emotions that you tend to have when you’re mothering small children. At our first meeting as leaders in September, we had 10 moms, and about three million kids!” she laughs. The provided program for children is called “Moppets,” where they may learn new songs, games, have snacks, do crafts, or watch movies. Skura also notes that they have a homeschool curriculum that may be taken advantage of. As they progress forward in their new venture, Kellerman states, “We have discussed field trips to the zoo and such. Something like that may feel impossible alone, but in a group seems a lot more manageable!” When asked how one would feel coming into their group as a secular mother, they were very welcoming. Kellerman expresses, “I would hope that if someone wanted to come for the companionship, and happened to be non-religious, that they would still feel comfortable coming into our meetings. We certainly don’t make it a qualification to be Christian; however, I would say that because MOPS is a Christian organization held in a church— yes, we do have Christian-oriented videos and talks.” Skura adds, “I truly hope anyone would feel comfortable, regardless of whether you’re a believer or not— if you don’t believe in any of the religious parts, that is totally fine. You’re still a human being, you’re still a mom, and you’re still working through this right along with us.” The ladies truly believe that personal belief is not in itself a reason to refrain from joining them, as long as you are comfortable hearing about

their values- and they are more than willing to discuss yours as well. Skura continues, “We don’t shy away from those topics, but we don’t ‘shove religion down your throat’, so to speak. MOPS is first and foremost for mothers to talk to each other and find fellowship within their community with specific focus on being a mother to young children.” As for how they feel MOPS affects the community in a positive way, Skura admits, “I joined MOPS out of pure necessity— my son was four months old, and I was starving for human interaction. I felt cooped up, with nowhere to go. So I personally know MOPS impacts the community positively, because you’re pulling those people who may feel stuck, alone, or isolated, together. You don’t have to feel that way.” Kellerman adds, “Instead of us just being moms at our own houses, feeling like the only people we see are our children, we’ve taken initiative to continue to grow a welcoming community. We look forward to getting together. It just feels like a breath of fresh air.” They also believe confident and strong moms raise confident and strong children, so when you feel like your needs are met as a mother, you’re able to put more positive energy into your children. While you are not obligated, they note that you have the option of signing up for membership to MOPS for $24.95 per year. She says, “In the membership package, you get a starter kit, a book, a bracelet, and some other inspirational items, as well as a quarterly magazine called ‘Hello, Dearest’ to help further encouragement. When people choose membership, the benefit to the group is that it registers our MOPS as an
active group— but certainly it’s a personal choice.” Otherwise, there are no dues or fees to join or participate in group activities. On the internationality of the group as a whole, Kellerman notes, “Since we just started, I believe there are things that we haven’t necessarily taken advantage of yet. In our starter kit, they supply coaches for you, there is a website, and you can follow them on Facebook and Instagram. But I think that since we’re such a small group at this time, we are focusing more locally than globally.” Skura says, “I enjoy ‘smalltown’, I like our community; it may be that we are more focused on right here, for now, and that perhaps in the future we would be more internationally-minded.” The ladies would like to add that they don’t think women realize how important it is to have mom-friends until you’re already overwhelmed, and already feeling isolated. They are welcoming to anyone that is feeling lonely in the midst of motherhood, and are both adamant that they have absolutely no intention of being “clique-y.” Every single mom is welcome to the fellowship received when you go to MOPS. Their next meeting is Monday, Oct.17 at 10 a.m., and this month’s topic is “Friendship”. They would love to see an increase in participation and companionship, as well as moms getting a well-deserved break! If you are interested in joining MOPS, or have any questions, you may call Samantha Skura at 880-4943, or Jenna Kellerman at 6972965, or just stop in on Monday morning to join this welcoming community of mom-friends.

The Concord Mercantile hosts Second Saturdays on the second Saturday of each month to celebrate fiber crafting. The second Saturday group began as an offshoot of the Craft Guild, hosted by the Concord Historical Society. The ladies that gather bring a whole array of fiber crafts to the table. This includes weaving, spinning, embroidery, sewing, knitting and crocheting, and even felting soap. The Second Saturday invites you to join them every second Saturday at the Concord Mercantile, 17 Franklin Street, Springville.
