Savor the Flavors of Fall Crisp Apples, Bright Pumpkins, Tangy Cider Excite the Senses By Eva Potter
© 2016 Ellicottville Times / Keystone Designers Inc.
The leaves have turned brilliant shades of crimson, gold and purple, which can only mean one thing — it’s time to enjoy the specialty foods that only fall can offer. Take a leisurely drive down the scenic backroads of Ellicottville, Great Valley, Springville and other small towns, and you’re sure to encounter charming farm stands set up in front of iconic American farmhouses. These hand-built stands usually offer a variety of fresh, locally grown produce at reasonable prices. You’re sure to find a selection of fall squash, potatoes, apples, pumpkins and more. Another way to shop for fresh produce is at the area’s nationally famous spot located just a couple miles outside Ellicottville. There you can find most of your fall favorites all in one stop. Pumpkinville, open through Oct. 31, is a great place to bring the whole family to enjoy rides and games, but the tastiest reasons to visit are their crisp apples, mouthwatering cider, fall sweet treats and, of course, the huge selection of pumpkins. You’ll find majestic giant orange beauties, in addition to green and yellow gems encrusted with warty growths, smaller gourds of many colors, some contorted into gnarly shapes and many varieties of squash. New York is the second largest apple growing state in the U.S., and Pumpkinville stocks a wonderful selection of regionally grown apples. You can also watch as fresh apples

On Saturday, Oct. 29, the EVL Half and 5K makes its way to the Village for the third year in a row. Costumed runners will compete in races of two distances. Both the half marathon (11 a.m. start) and the 5K (11:15 a.m. start) begin and end in the heart of town at 5 Monroe Street. “We are always trying to add a few new things to the event to improve the athletes’ experience,” said Gwen Bush, who, along with her husband, Doug, organizes the race. “This year we will have more diversions out on the course to enjoy as they run. We also are having an expo on Monroe Street. We will have music at the aid stations and some other surprises.” All participants receive custom-designed

On Saturday, Oct. 15, the Ellicottville JV Volleyball team made its all the way to the championship game at the Cattaraugus-Little Valley Volleyball Tournament, losing in a tie breaker to the Southwestern Trojans from Jamestown, NY. The JV squad started the morning off slowly, losing close battles in their first four games against Catt Little Valley (CLV) and Southwestern before handily winning their final four round robin matches against Dunkirk and Forestville. Southwestern placed first in the round robin competition, dropping only one game against second place finishers CLV. Ellicottville ended up third, setting up their semifinal
On Oct. 17, Mayor John Burrell opened the Village of Ellicottville meeting by updating the board on the Cattaraugus County Municipal Officials Assoc. meeting held last week at Holiday Valley. The program was presented by Peter Baynes and Barbara VanEpps from the NY conference of Mayor’s and Municipal Officials (NYCOM). Baynes was very complimentary of Ellicottville in a letter sent after the meeting to Burrell, which he read aloud. Burrell also introduced two new DPW employees, Mark Chudy and Joe Lowry. Two public hearings were on the agenda for the evening: repealing Local Law No. 1-2014 which

Dave Golley Memorial Open House
An open house was held Saturday, Oct. 15 to honor Dave Golley for his many years of service to the Town of Ellicottville. A sign was unveiled, naming the entrance to the Highway Barns “David Golley Drive.� A memorial patio in front of the building includes a bench with a plaque that says “In Memory of Dave Golley.� Steve Crowley was instrumental in getting donations to pay for the patio area, so that no tax dollars were used. Matt McAndrew spoke, along with John Burrell and Steve Crowley, and Father Ron was on hand to bless the building and the patio area. Loyd Hovey and Frank Moore were also honored for their many years of service to the town.

Letter to the Editor Thank You!
Our family would like to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you to all of those who attended the Open House and dedication of the Ellicottville Town Highway barns on Saturday Oct. 15 in honor/memory of Dave Golley. Dave certainly loved his job of 24 years as the Highway Superintendent and took great pride in his work. He was most proud of the new highway barns built at the base of Bryant Hill Road. A special thanks to all of those involved who made this happen including Matt McAndrew, Tom Scharf, Steve Crowley, the Town Highway employees, The Town Board, John Burrell, Father Ron Mierzwa and all of the private donors that made this all possible. We are truly grateful that he was honored in this way! The Dave Golley Family
The Nannen Arboretum Society would like to thank everyone for helping to make our ďŹ rst annual ‘Walk in the Arboretum’ a success. The weather was gorgeous and over 60 folks joined us to take a guided tour through the arboretum to learn more about its history and features. Attendees were entertained by ‘Mary Kay and Garrett’ (grandmother and grandson) playing and singing country music and by the Ellicottville Sound Chorus dressed as pirates and singing acapella. We look forward to hosting the walk again in 2017. Meanwhile, the fall foliage is at its peak, so take a stroll on your own; the arboretum is open to the public seven days a week, dawn to dusk. Enjoy! Pat Kerl, Nannen Arboretum Society

are squeezed using the farm’s antique cider press. Watch it in action, then sample a glass of cold or hot cider. You’ll want to take a gallon home! America loves apple pie and with fresh apples on hand to make the perfect fall dessert, it’s time to heat up the oven. Flaky pie crusts ďŹ lled with sliced apples or smooth pumpkin ďŹ lling will spread the rich, spicy smells of fall throughout your home. No time to bake them yourself? Until Oct. 31, Di’s Pies and Bake Shoppe at Pumpkinville offers oldfashion baked goods, including fall specialties like pumpkin and apple pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin mufďŹ ns and pumpkin donuts. You can also purchase home-baked desserts and sweets all year long (Friday through Sunday) at the Little Red Shop, located right next to Pumpkinville. A little farther away, but well worth the drive, Sprague’s Maple Farms offers free wagon rides to their sugarhouse (weather permitting) where you can enjoy hot mulled cider and homemade maple cake doughnuts on weekends in October. Explore the farm’s hiking trails and enjoy
the fall foliage as you walk through the maples. Then stop at the restaurant for a jug of their well-known maple syrup and delicious turkey dinners with all the trimmings. Farm-fresh goodness is no longer limited to the growing season. You can enjoy fresh produce year round at the Canticle Farm Market in Allegany. Offerings include storage vegetables, like carrots, potatoes and onions, along with Canticle’s greenhouse-grown greens and other produce always CertiďŹ ed Naturally Grown. That means no harmful chemicals are used to grow or preserve their vegetables. And they’re usually picked fresh the day of the market. You’ll also ďŹ nd local honey, maple syrup, eggs, cheese and meats. The market is now open Tuesdays, 2 – 6 p.m. Commonly known as the Springville Auction, Gentner’s Commission Market in the village of

Springville is everything you’d hope for from an old-fashioned market. It’s been held every Wednesday, rain or shine, since 1939. To avoid the crowds, get up early and arrive by 10 a.m. to get the best selection of farm-fresh produce, ea market items, livestock and most everything else you can imagine. You probably won’t go home empty handed, so it’s wise to bring a wagon, some type of cart or some large bags to transport your haul back to your car. With a huge selection of fresh owers, produce, specialty foods, maple syrup and honey, you’ll be tempted to buy in bulk and you’ll pay much less than you would in stores. Don’t let the season pass you by. Take a ride and bring home some of fall’s goodness before the snow ies.

game against CLV. Strong team play earned Ellicottville the semiďŹ nal victory over CLV and a place in the ďŹ nal against the powerful Southwestern Trojans. Earlier the matchup between the two resulted in the Trojans narrowly pulling out a victory with a 2725 score, a good indication of what was to be expected in the championship. The fans weren’t disappointed as the ďŹ rst two games were split. The third and deciding tie breaker game was a nail biting seesaw battle before Southwestern ďŹ nally pulled away, winning 15-10 to claim the title.

members wear a gold sock on their left legs in solidarity with Alex, as gold represents childhood cancer. The chemotherapy treatments have taken their toll and Alex is tired and worn down. Alex and his family are working with his ďŹ fth grade teacher, Ms. Cole, to ensure he remains academically engaged. The future is uncertain for Alex; he will face a surgery in mid-November to replace his femur that has been destroyed by the cancer. Each day is a new challenge, but his family says that one thing is for sure: “Our community, friends, and family have helped us every
inch of the way, and for that we are grateful.â€? In the future, Alex dreams of becoming an Alaskan State Trooper or maybe a farmer. He’s not sure! A beneďŹ t will be held at the Great Valley Volunteer Fireman’s Clubhouse, located at 6035 Depot Street, in Great Valley on Nov. 13 beginning at 1 p.m. Items for basket rafe donations are still needed.

At ďŹ rst, Alex’s mom assumed her son’s complaints of leg pain were growing pains. After several weeks of complaints, his mom, Penny, a LPN with years of experience in the ďŹ eld, along with serving for 20 years as a volunteer EMT with the Great Valley Fire Department, and his dad, Josh, a paramedic for AllStar, decided it was best to check with his pediatrician, Dr. Pamela Salzmann, just to be sure. On a Monday, the family saw Dr. Salzmann. The very next day, they had an ultrasound. On Thursday, they had an MRI, and by Friday, they were at Roswell for a consultation. Their entire lives were forever changed in one short week. Alex is an active young man who plays basketball, baseball, football, enjoys outdoor sports and ATV riding. Why wouldn’t she think he was just sore, or growing? As it turns out, according to the American Cancer Society, each year, about 800 new cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed in the United States. About 400 of these are in children and teens. Most osteosarcomas occur in children and young adults between the ages of 10 and 30. Teens are the most commonly affected age group, but osteosarcoma can occur in people of any age. Alex can now be seen hopping alongside his brother Harrison and their teammates on the sidelines with the Ellicottville Eagles Little League football team. The team

Seeded number 3 in the WNY Class D standings, the Titans will face the Frewsburg Bears (6) on Friday, Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. in Ellicottville. Looking ahead to the playoff game, head coach Chad Bartoszek said, “We played them earlier in the year and won 32-21 in a closely played game throughout. These are the playoffs now, so every
game is a ‘win or you’re done’ game.� The JV FranklinvilleEllicottville Titans defeated the Black Knights in a convincing 42-14 win, improving their record to 5-1. They will face Olean, on Saturday, Oct. 22 in Franklinville.
The Ellicottville Eagles Midget Football team is headed to the Cattaraugus County Midget Football League “A� Super Bowl. In a 25-16 defeat of the Salamanca Sabers during round two of the playoffs, the Eagles front seven, led by Harrison Newark, worked hard to move the ball every play against a much bigger defensive line. Touchdowns were scored by Clayton Rowland, who was unstoppable by the Sabers defense, recording two touchdowns, an outside sweep ran in by Leif Jimerson, followed up by a long distance connection between Logan Grinols and Caleb Dubel. “Our team played a great game versus a very good opponent. We will be ready to go Saturday,� said head coach Tim Grinols. The Eagles will face the Franklinville Panthers at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Cattaraugus-Little Valley.

TheEllicottvilleTimes Mansfield Board Adopts 2017 Budget
7.8 Percent Tax Increase Tackles ‘Fiscal Stress’
By Jann Wiswall Following a public hearing, the Town of Mansfield’s board unanimously approved a 2017 budget that increases the tax rate per $1,000 of assessed property value from $4.73 to $5.10, a 7.8 percent increase. This is the first time the Mansfield tax rate has been above $5/$1,000 since 2008. Residents whose homes are assessed at $100,000 should expect a tax bill of about $510 in 2017, a $37 increase over 2016. As reported after last month’s board meeting, the boost is necessary in order to cover increases in employee health insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, highway department materials and other costs that are out of the town’s control. The town also must make up the difference from lower sales tax receipts, mortgage taxes and other revenue sources that came in under projections primarily due to last year’s mild winter. More critically, Town Supervisor Bob Keis noted, the board had to address the state’s characterization of Mansfield as being “fiscally stressed.” According to the State Comptroller’s Office, municipalities should carry 1520 percent of its budget total in a fund balance, which is essentially a town’s or village’s savings account. With a $1.1 million budget, the state recommends that Mansfield should have $165,000-$220,000 in the bank. Mansfield will end 2016 with only about $10,000 in the fund balance. The town’s low fund balance is due to a number of factors, most notably the long- and
short-term expenses incurred as a result of the 2012 highway barn fire, but also the fact that the town has kept its effective tax rate low for many years in the hopes that HoliMont’s WestMont Ridge would have generated new property tax revenues by now. The tax increase will generate an additional $54,000 to make up for the lower revenues, provide a 1-1.5 percent salary increase for certain town employees, cover inflationary cost increases for materials and supplies and increase the fund balance by $10,000. Town resident Todd Dunkleman attended the hearing and reviewed the preliminary budget as presented. He said he saw no real problems, noting that the supervisor and town board “always do a good job,” but asked if the cost of maintaining and operating the town’s three buildings was high given that two of them are relatively new. Keis noted that the board has budgeted for a new roof and siding repairs/improvements for the town’s historical society building in Eddyville, which are in poor condition. He also noted that heating the buildings costs $15-20,000 per year. The total budget for 2017 building maintenance/ operations remained at the 2016 level of $45,000. Dunkleman also asked if the town is prepared for highway department vehicle replacements. Keis and Highway Superintendent Brad Hurley said they don’t expect to replace any vehicles in 2017. Going forward, Hurley said the department’s fleet should age out at different times, which should ensure
that the town will not need to replace multiple vehicles at once. In addition, Keis pointed out that a vehicle loan cost of $50,000 will be paid off in 2018, freeing up those funds for vehicle replacements. Dunkleman also asked that the town publicize the fact that Mansfield residents have access to the Little Valley public pool. He said he and other residents he had spoken with didn’t know about that benefit and suggested that a periodic newsletter be mailed to residents to inform them about that and other benefits and services. Finally, he said that he hopes “Mansfield taxes don’t go up like they did in Ellicottville.” He said he moved from Ellicottville years ago because of taxes and doesn’t “ever want to have to leave Mansfield” for the same reason. Keis pointed out that almost every surrounding town has a tax rate nearly double (or more) Mansfield’s 2017 rate, and he and the board are determined to keep rates low. In other business, Keis reported that the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets had audited the town’s dog control service and shelter and that both were rated “satisfactory,” the highest rating. Hurley reported that all of the highway repairs that were funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following damage caused by spring 2014 storms are now complete, as is all of the related paperwork. The next meeting of the Mansfield board is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. in the town hall. All are welcome.

Special Meeting of the Village Planning Board By Caitlin Croft
During the regularly scheduled meeting of the Village Planning Board (PB), an issue arose with a Site Plan that was approved in February 2016 for 35 West Washington Street. The site plan that was initially approved by the PB was not adhered to. During construction, there were issues with ground water leading to the foundation being 16 inches higher than approved and thus the overall height of the residence increased to just about 27 feet, two feet above what was approved. The PB moved for the Village to enforce a Stop Build Order until a plan of correction can be decided upon. A special meeting to find a solution and review a new Site Plan was held on Friday, Oct. 14. The meeting opened with discussion as to how the errors were arrived at and why the Village Engineer was not contacted when the initial foundation problem arose. The PB explained that it is inherently crucial that plans and reviews they approve need to be followed. The PB found two acceptable choices for correcting the height of the residence: First, they could remove block from the foundation or second, change the height of the second floor. The homeowner opted for the latter choice and will
lower the second floor ceiling to 7 feet. This brought the total height of the residence to 25 feet 11.5 inches. The new Site Plan was approved with a handful of conditions, along with needing a new Architectural Review to be performed at the November meeting. The following are the conditions in which the new site plan was approved: 1. Ceiling height of the second floor will now be 7 feet and the structure is not to exceed 25 feet 11.5 inches. 2. Siding (hardie board) and trim must be extended one block lower to reduce the visual obstruction. 3. Three to four red maple trees, 20 feet tall and 3-4 inches in caliper, must be planted by May 1, 2017. 4. The porch on both sides
must be lowered as to mitigate the new increased size of the home. It will now have one step from the door to the porch. 5. Two sump pumps must be tied into the village storm system on Elizabeth Street. 6. Architectural shingles on the structure must be dark in color. 7. The Village engineer must approve the site plan for the modifications of the sidewalk to the house and grading. Also, the landscaping (red maple trees) and location must be added to the site plan. The Stop Build Order was removed due to the new site plan and conditions being approved. The new architectural review will happen at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Village Planning Board on Nov. 8, 2016.

Esther Westendorf 1915 - 2016
“Aunt” Esther Westendorf of Little Valley, NY passed quietly at the age of 101 at Father Baker Manor in Orchard Park. Born on April 26, 1915 to the late Emma (Glow) and Carl Westendorf, Esther went Home on October 13, 2016. She is survived by her three nephews Geoffrey Johnson (Bobbie) Grand Blanc, Michigan; Neal Westendorf (Bonnie-Jo) of Hudson, New York; and Keith Westendorf (Theresa) of Orchard Park, New York; , 7 great nieces and nephews Monique Frechette, Eric Johnson, Raquel Lohrman, Tyler Johnson, Aaron Westendorf, Caitlyn Soltes and Jonathon Westendorf as well as 8 great, great nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her sisters Helen Westendorf, Marie Hyland and Walter Westendorf. Esther was a lifelong educator. She graduated Little Valley HS at the age of 16 and graduated from Buffalo State Teacher’s College. She began her teaching career at the age of 20 as one of the last teachers at the California Hill one room schoolhouse in the town of Mansfield a couple of miles from the family farm. She continued her teaching career
in Arcade then West Seneca where she focused more on teaching reading. Esther spent several years as a saleswoman for DC Heath covering schools in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. She missed the classroom and returned to teaching reading in the Long Island schools of Wantaugh and Freeport. While at Wantaugh, in 1958 she wrote “English is our Language” a text for teaching reading. During that time, she earned her Doctorate of Teaching at Columbia University. In the mid 1960’s she accepted a professorship at Plattsburgh State College, Plattsburgh, NY. She moved past teaching reading to teaching future teachers how to teach reading. Her professional dedication and accomplishments culminated in her being President of the New York State Reading Association. She spent several years supervising future teachers in their student teaching block program which brought her to many North Country schools. She retired to the family farm in 1978 where she lived with and cared for her mother, Emma Westendorf until her passing at the age of 98 in September 1986. Esther continued to live at the farm and be an active member of the community into her midnineties. Esther loved the farm. She returned there every summer during school breaks. Once retired, she modernized it adding central heat and
replacing the spring with a well. A recurring theme with her nephews for many years was “What do you think you will do with the farm?” She supported and encouraged her nephews continued modernization and improvements over the last several years. She loved to travel as well. She traveled to Europe several times, as well as to Alaska, the Grand Canyon mule trip, Russia and China. She and her older sister, Marie of Arcade traveled many times together. Esther was an active member of her church families. Her grandparents were founding members of St. Michaels Lutheran church of Little Valley where she was Treasurer and taught Sunday School after her retirement. She was active at Redeemer Lutheran church in Plattsburgh. She eventually moved her membership to St. Paul’s Lutheran church of Ellicottville. Esther also spent several years volunteering at the Salamanca Hospital and participated in local quilting projects with her mother. Calling hours are Friday, October 21 from 4-7 pm at Mentley Funeral Home in Little Valley, NY. The funeral service will be held at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Ellicottville, NY on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 11 a.m. Interment to follow at Little Valley Rural Cemetery, in Little Valley, NY. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.

When asked about most memorable costumes in years past, Bush said, “Oh my, there have been so many wonderful costumes! I really loved the sugar skull runner and the Tom Brady with a flat football was really funny last year. I was a big fan of the Grinch as well.” This year’s race is expected to be bigger and better than ever. “Last year we had 1,400 participants and this year we will have at least 1,800,” Bush explained. “I think one reason this event is well-attended is because our community is such a beautiful setting. The involvement from the residents, police, merchants, schools and Ellicottville Chamber is a huge factor. Ellicottville is very welcoming to the athletes and they love that. We also strive very hard to put on a well organized, safe, and fun event. I hope that helps as well.” Thinking about signing up? Don’t wait! “As of today we still have a few spots in both, but the 5k will sell out soon and the half is not far behind,” said Bush. Grab your friends, pick out your costume and get ready for some fun! For more info, visit www.evlhalf.com.

Being Gratuitous is Contagious
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
There is not a day that goes by that I do not feel inundated by negativity. This year’s election has saturated our social media and daily conversations. I dread turning on the morning news and typically end up turning it off as soon as it turns to politics. All this negativity can literally zap your energy, transform your mood and affect your overall health. While doing my research for ways to “Turn that frown upside down…” I came across a piece on ‘gratitude’. Remember these sayingsCount your blessings. Consider yourself lucky. Thank you. These were all directives our parents and grandparents gave us so that we would grow
into decent people with decent manners. It turns out that the same advice also helps make our brains and body healthier. “There is a magnetic appeal to gratitude,” says Robert Emmons, a professor of psychology at the University of California, and a pioneer of gratitude research. “It speaks to a need that’s deeply entrenched.” Meaning, we need to give thanks and to be thanked, just as it’s important to feel respected and connected socially. According to Louisa Kamps, author of, What Gratitude Can Do For You, “From an evolutionary perspective, feeling of gratitude is what helps to bind communities together. When people appreciate the goodness they’ve received, they feel a need to give back. This interdependence allows not only an individual but also society as a whole to prosper and to survive.” As we have seen all too clearly, it is easy in these modern times to forget to be thankful or even gracious. We’re too distracted, too self-entitled and often too disconnected to others around us. Kamps adds, “By disconnecting from others we often suffer from consequences
such as loneliness, anger or even a less robust immune system.” So what can be done? Let’s try making a concerted and consistent effort to notice and appreciate the good things flowing to us- from the crunch of autumn leaves to small gestures of appreciation toward co-workers, family and friends. Just today, I received an unexpected gratuitous statement about a new style of training I have implemented. It was unexpected, but sure made me feel great all day. Focus on being a nicer person. “People can’t help but pay it forward. When appreciation is expressed, it triggers a biological response in the recipient’s brain, including a surge of the feelgood chemical dopamine,” says Emmons. So when you express gratitude toward a loved one, a colleague or a friend, he or she is grateful in return, and the back-and–forth continues. In a time so marred by negativity, look to the things that are close by and tangible. Be thankful for your blessings and say a sincere “thank you” to the next person you see. You may be surprised at how contagious being gratuitous can be.
Outdoor Adventure Chautauqua’s World Class Muskellunge By Indrek Kongats
When one thinks of a full moon, it is usually in conjunction with vampires and werewolves. For the angler, it is another type of wolf that makes his skin tingle and starts his blood pumping— the fresh water kind, the Muskellunge. Known by many names— Esox, Lunge, Musky or Muskie—it’s all the same fish, the most aggressive freshwater species in North America. The musky is the ultimate game fish, big, strong, a leaper and dodger, teeth that gleam like in a villain’s grin. Those of us that live in Springville and Ellicottville are surrounded by the world’s best musky waters. To the north, we have the Niagara River and a little bit further north we have Georgian Bay, part of Lake Huron; to the east, we have the Finger Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. The world record at 69 pounds, and the Canadian record at 65 pounds are from these waters. To the south, is the Allegheny Reservoir, or the Kinzua, as locals call it, but the best is to the west, Chautauqua Lake. Chautauqua Lake, is a mere 45 minutes to an hour away, starting at Jamestown, NY and ending in Mayville, NY, approximately 17 miles in length. At an elevation of 1,308 feet above sea level, Chautauqua is higher than any of the Finger Lakes and is one of the highest navigable lakes in North America, definitely the highest musky lake that I know. Musky over 50 inches and 50 pounds are not only possible, but have been recorded in this lake’s history. According to the DEC, Chautauqua’s musky population is supported by an annual stocking of 13,000 fall fingerlings (8.5 to 9 inches) by the hatchery at Prendergast Point. Special regulations govern and safeguard the musky population. The season opens the last Saturday in May and ends Nov. 30; a minimum size limit of 40 inches and a daily limit of one fish can be kept. Another interesting fact is that the management and culture of muskellunge was born on the waters of
Chautauqua Lake, dating back to 1888. The Prendergast hatchery is the only one raising a pure strain of muskellunge, with eggs collected only from Chautauqua Lake. Both species of musky are present in the lake— the smaller hybrid Tiger musky (a cross between a northern pike and muskellunge), feisty and more aggressive than its larger cousin, the true muskellunge, Esox masquinongy. Getting back to the full moon! Musky fishing peaks with the full moon, in particular the Harvest Moon in September and all subsequent full moons until the season ends. Not only do humans react to the full moon in some very peculiar ways, so does the musky— they get hungrier, more aggressive and downright mean. In fact, they’ll rip apart the biggest lures in your tackle box. The preferred method of hooking these toothy critters is to troll for them and troll fast. The recommended trolling speed is up to 5 mph. If you know anything about physics, Newton’s first law states an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The musky is that unbalanced force, in more ways than one. Musky travel about four times the speed of your lure and, in this case, in the opposite direction. All I can say is hold onto your rod and make sure you hold onto your seat! Of course you can always chuck lures for musky, the fish of a thousand casts, or you can sit in a comfortable fighting chair waiting patiently for the main event to start. The sheer force of the strike, when trolling, is unequalled in the angling for any other sport fish. I’ve been amused many times as a fellow angler begins to doze off while in the pursuit of a musky only to be jarred viscously awake, even falling out of their seat. Staying alert is the number one rule in musky fishing; as a musky strikes, you have to immediately counter strike by setting the hooks into its very toothy and rock solid jaw.
If you don’t get a hook set, your fight will surely end in disappointment and your lure will fly back into your face once the musky leaps out of the water. The second rule is sharpen your hooks, and have a stout rod to set those hooks into solid bone. After trolling over a rocky bottom your hooks are no longer sharp, so have a file with you, or have another fresh lure to toss out as bait. The rod needs to be balanced with a minimal of 30-pound test line. The old Dacron lines are still good as they have zero stretch but they are thick and bulky. The new braided lines are super thin even at 80-pound test and are the best. Put no less than 150 yards on your reel as well. Rule number three is to have a good length of steel leader between your line and your lure. The recommended length is 36 inches; I prefer making my own out of single-strand fishing wire as this length is hard to find commercially. When a musky attacks, it is a frontal attack. The leader is the first to go through a buzz saw of a thousand razor sharp teeth, well before the lure even reaches the gaping jaws. Finally rule number four, enjoy the fight! Many anglers are taught to bring the fish to the net as quickly as possible to increase the chance that the fish will survive upon release. Hog wash! First, that’s like going to the most expensive restaurant, making reservations a year in advance only to gobble down your meal in less than a minute. Second, you’ll probably end up with a belly ache as well as your fish. Bringing a green fish to the net is like lighting a stick of dynamite with a very short fuse; it’s going to blow up in your face and the fish will panic and injure itself. Play the fish gently like walking your dog; keep pressure on the leash, but don’t get into a tug of war. Land the fish when the fish is mentally subdued, not physically. Enjoy your date with Esox, maybe you’ll get a second if you are lucky!

Village Laws Continued from front page
made Hughey Alley a one-way alley, and the Village Leash Law. “My question to the board – is it more confusing now that it is a two-way alley (again) versus when it was one-way?” asked Burrell. Delivery trucks are causing a congestion problem, and concerns are about potential accidents happening when vehicles come out of the alley onto Monroe Street and don’t see pedestrians or other vehicles coming down the street. Three business owners were mentioned as wanting Hughey Alley to go back to being a two-way alley. The proposed leash law amendment states that, “It shall be unlawful for any owner of any dog in the Village to permit or allow such dog to run at large; a dog owner is required to keep his or her dog on a leash at all times unless the dog is contained on private property with the permission of the property owner.” The current law allows a dog to run at large if the owner or responsible person accompanies a dog and is under the full control of such owner or person (without requiring a leash). Both public hearings were left open for the duration of the meeting, and ultimately were passed as the last order of business before the meeting adjourned. Local Law No. 3-2016 repeals the law that made Hughey Alley a oneway alley, and will now be a two-way alley. The leash law now requires all dogs to be restrained on an adequate leash (unless contained on private property). The condition of village benches was the next item for discussion. A recent meeting with Burrell and Harold Morton of the DPW with the Lion’s Club resulted in a program for maintenance of approximately 30 benches. As the benches are taken down this fall (for annual winter storage), the Lions Club will replace 10-12 of them with new lumber, and then replane and sand the old lumber on subsequent benches, along with painting and additional required maintenance. The labor will be done on a volunteer basis by the Lion’s Club, and the Village will pay for maintenance items, which will be a minimal cost, according to Burrell. “I just want them to look better,” said Burrell.
New Restaurant, Finnerty’s Tap Room, Plans in the Works Bill Finnerty addressed the board about his plans to open a new restaurant, to be called Finnerty’s Pub, in the former Armor Inn Tap Room building on Mill Street, next to Kwik Fill and across from the Wingate Hotel. Finnerty was in attendance at the board meeting to also request a waiver of the State Liquor Authority (SLA) 30 day notice, which the board did grant as their last order of business for the night. He hopes to address all licensing approvals with the SLA and Village Planning Board, and looks towards a mid-December 2016 opening of his pub. “I’m overwhelmed with the progress of the village over the years,” said Finnerty. My family and I are excited to join the community, if you’ll have us!” His plans for the “upscale pub” include a family-oriented restaurant, featuring smallscale acoustic music and a blend of menu ideas, as well as being part of the Ellicottville community with events throughout the year. New Christmas Lighting Jim Carls of Dina’s approached Mayor Burrell with a suggestion to try some different Christmas lighting ideas for this upcoming season, and suggested meeting with Doug Sitler, owner of Sitler HQ, best known for creating the Night Lights events at Griffis Sculpture Park, the Nannen Arboretum, the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens and the Heron. A second meeting at the Ellicottville Chamber office outlined some design details of the lighting plan, which would be accomplished with the help of the Village DPW crew. The idea was also presented at the Chamber business owners and board of directors meeting. Several businesses, including Holiday Valley, Ellicottville Brewing Company, HoliMont, Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce, Dina’s Restaurant, Krysick & Company, Cathy Pritchard, Kathleen Moriarty, the Ellicottville Rotary, and the Village of Ellicottville,
contributed money to the Christmas Lighting idea, so that no money will be needed from the Village budget. During the DPW report, Harold Morton reminded board members that the village hydrants are scheduled for flushing on Monday, Oct. 24 and Tuesday, Oct. 25., starting at 7 a.m. each day. It was announced that Village Code Enforcement officer Tom Abraitis will be retiring in March 2017. The Village dog park is nearing completion, and will be named “Elmer’s Dog Park” in recognition of Elmer the dog’s owner, who donated the fence for the park. Security cameras are one of the last items that need to be installed. It was suggested that directional signage be installed on various street corners, so that locals and visitors know how to get to the park. New Business Announcements Lisa Saunders was appointed to the ZBA, to replace Jody Bentley. The board discussed the hiring of a part-time temporary water maintenance manager by the Town of Ellicottville, to oversee the Ellicottville Joint Water District. The Town of Ellicottville is asking the Village of Ellicottville to pay for this manager, and Village board members agreed that more time was needed to look into the matter further, once they had the necessary data and pertinent information. A Public Works Director may also be hired, and Village board members voted in favor of authorizing a study of the possibility of having a joint Town and Village Superintendent of Public Works. Lastly, John Burrell and Village Clerk Mary Klahn announced that they had discovered a payroll error with employee health insurance deductions and determined that village employees had too much money deducted from their paychecks. $20,845.21 was over-deducted over a 28 month period, and refunds would be issued to everyone during a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 18 at 9 a.m.
Ellicottville’s new dog park, to be named Elmer’s Dog Park, is nearing completion and is ready for dogs!

The Official Newspaper
of the Village of Springville, NY Springville-Griffith Institute Central Schools
By Jennifer Weber
The Town of Concord approved the 2017 Town Budget and Fire Contracts in the amount of $4,250,651.45 after holding public hearings on the matters at the Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday, Oct. 13. Concord Town Supervisor Gary Eppolito reported the 2017 budget includes an increase of spending of $33,000, up from 2016, while the amount to be raised by taxes, $1,757,864.75 incorporated an additional $14,000, up from 2016, with a majority of this added expense going to the fire budget. The five companies that make up the 2017 Fire Contracts, which are threeyear terms, effective January 2017 to December 2019, are the Boston Volunteer Fire
Company, East Concord Volunteer Fire Company, Morton Corners Volunteer Fire Company, Village of Springville Fire Company (fire and Emergency Medical Service) and the East Concord Volunteer Fire Company Ambulance Service. The assessed valuation of the town also went up slightly, which helped create a zero increase budget that stayed under the .67 percent tax cap. In other business, the Rural Transit Van Service was approved as the main project for the Community Development Block Grant program administered by the Erie County Department of Environmental Planning. Eppolito stated, “This program is of extreme importance in serving the older
residents and handicapped individuals in the Town of Concord/Village of Springville for who transportation to medical appointments is very difficult to obtain.” Erie County Legislator John Mills addressed the Town Board providing updated information on the status See Town Board page 6

the house is haunted—it’s not just weird noises at night, but also the seeing the lady in the tower and other spooky things. Considering this, by doing some research, the people who built and lived in the house had a variety of despairingly events in their lives. First and foremost, the builder of the house was John P. Myers, better known as JP Myers. Mr. Myers was born in Allegany County in the 1840s and enlisted in the 104th NY during the Civil War. He was captured at Gettysburg and was imprisoned at Andersonville Prison for 22 months. In his journal, he described not only squalor, but the maltreatment of soldiers at both the

Confederates and by fellow Union soldiers. Mr. Myers did survive and after the war entered the Mercantile business in Sardinia. In 1877, Mr. Myers moved to Springville. Within a few short years he made a small fortune in real estate and the egg business in Springville. In See A Look Back page 6

The Concord Historical Society Celebrates 75 Years By Derek M. Otto
The Concord Historical Society is celebrating its seventy-fifth year of preserving the history of the Town of Concord. Founded in 1941 by civicminded individuals who were looking to preserve the town’s past, the society received its official charter as the Springville Historical Society. It’s amazing the timing of their founding— the Great Depression and the beginning of World War II, war rationing, metal and paper drives—it’s amazing how much was saved. The first society president was Glenn Woodward and the collection of artifacts began to grow from the onset. One of the most important early members was Lucy Bensley. As town librarian, she saved everything, but also researched much of the town’s early history. She was recognized by New York State as the official historian, and is considered the first town historian. The early collection of the society was housed in Dr. Brooks’ house on Main Street. It still stands across from the Joylan Theater. For several years, many of the members of the Society petitioned renowned football coach Glenn “Pop” Warner for funds to house a museum. In 1954, the Warner Estate left $15,000 to the society to buy a house for a museum. The Warners also left more money in 1961, when Mrs. Warner died. After considering several houses, the historical society decided on the 1847 Crandall House on Main Street. Other houses that were considered included the Bensley House on the corner of Franklin and Central. The Crandall House was preferred for its location and its carriage house. At this time, in 1953, the charter to the Springville Historical Society was changed to The Concord Historical Society. When the museum opened, it was home to the Warner Room, which became the home to Pop Warner’s Collection of Indian artifacts. It also included the Mahl tool collection, the
Jennie Dell collection and loom, the ox bow bender and a pioneer kitchen. It was claimed in the 1950s that the Concord collection’s oxbow bender was the only one in New York State. Later, pictures were sent to the Smithsonian Institution and it was found to be the only one of its kind in the United States. The Society operated for 50 years with little or no changes. That would change in the late 1990s, when M & T Bank left the Concord Society a piece of property on the corner of Main and Mechanic Streets. Eventually the society gave the parcel over to the Village of Springville. In 1998, the old Public Library, which had been used as a senior center and alternative education school since 1994, was offered to the society for use as a genealogy library and historians office. The Lucy Bensley Center opened and served as a meeting spot for many of the clubs in Concord, such as the Calico Club and the Twentieth Century Club, as well as the Concord Historical Society. Also in 1998, Springville suffered from its great flood and another property opened up to the Historical Society. For years, the Historical Society had wanted to create a mock general store. During the flood, the property that housed the old Fish Bowl pet store was severely damaged. The society eventually bought that property and built the Concord Mercantile building on the Warner Museum Campus. Since it opened in 2010, over 17,000 people have signed the guest book. Not only does the Concord Mercantile offer a historical display of a general store, it offers musical

entertainment twice a week, and a place for crafters to sell their wares and educational opportunities every second Saturday. Realizing just after it opened that the Mercantile had become very cramped, in 2014, the Historical Society began the capital project to build the Heritage Building annex to the Mercantile. At present, about half the money has been raised. Amazingly, so has half the building. Remember that parcel of land on the corner of Main and Mechanic Streets? In 2013, the Concord Historical Society raised $50,000 in eight weeks to construct the iconic clock. The village at the time had the park reconstructed and the official M & T Park was opened in November 2013. The Concord Historical Society has proven to be a civic organization that gets thing done. Its current mission is to preserve the historical records of the Town of Concord, NY, promote and encourage an interest in local history and in historical research, operate the Warner Museum, Concord Mercantile, Lucy Bensley Center and preserve its collection, gather and preserve books, manuscripts, papers and other artifacts significant to the people of the Town of Concord, acquire by gift or purchase, devise or otherwise, the title to artifacts of historical interest, cooperate with other groups and individuals in the promotion and preservation of the history of the Niagara Frontier and the Southern Tier of WNY, honor persons of achievement and recognize the activities of the ordinary people and everyday life in the Town of Concord, NY and identify places of historic interest with suitable monuments or markers. If this is of any interest to you, The Concord Historical Society gladly welcomes you. The Concord Historical Society meets the second Wednesday of the month. The Concord Mercantile is open Tuesday and Thursdays 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesday and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Lucy Bensley Center is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday s 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Warner Museum is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

a fun Talking Heads vibe,� praises critically acclaimed and awarded local music website, buffaBLOG (www.buffablog.com) Their new album, “7 Gems from the Sparkling Void� (available via Admirable Traits Records, www.admirabletraitsrecords. com), features songs that have a funky, nostalgic feel, with a beat you can dance to. They will be playing for approximately an hour and a half, with Alexmmmk, an acoustic act featuring local musician Alex Krolikowski as their opening act at 8 p.m. Skelton says, “It will be nice to come back to see the people and breathe the creative air that inspired us to pursue a musical life many years ago.� According to the band’s web site, their songs focus on “a unique take on the nature of reality, that is expressed through the song craft.� When Smith is asked what he thinks about when writing a song, he gives an example: “I’ve always wondered if I was born in the same hospital room that my grandfather died in.� Introspective and thoughtful lyrics, combined with a passion to share their music with the world and an outside-the-box attitude, have given Aircraft what it needs to be a prominent Buffalo band, and their debut album “Sonic Boom� (2013) received rave reviews, and set off a tour throughout the northeast. In 2015, they also made a tour to promote the release of “7 Gems from the Sparkling Void,� which was a favorite on indie radio stations not only locally, but across the United States, as well as the United Kingdom. To top off a series of successes, the band’s song “Dig a Little Deeper� was featured as Buffalo’s local television news WGRZ’s promotional song for the 2016 Olympic Games, as well as news
broadcasts. Aircraft has also continued to play many regional concerts and festivals, including GrifďŹ s Sculpture Park/Essex Art Center’s Night Lights Fall Music Festival and North By Northeast (NXNE) music festival in Toronto, Ontario. As for the SCA, executive director Seth Wochensky notes, “It’s great to see the return of these talented native sons. Given what I’ve seen of these guys, they are going to put on a far-out show that is going to blow the windows out on this place.â€? It is an all-ages show, that the SCA hopes all ages will indeed get excited about— a rock show, for Halloween, right in the middle of town and within walking distance for many locals. At $10 per ticket (at the door and at www.springvillearts. org), the SCA hopes to see a fantastic turnout. This half-homegrown band would love to see local, familiar faces, and are optimistic of an outstanding turnout, before their spacecraft relaunches and they make their way back from the village of their roots, to the city of their fame. Feel free to dress up in your best Halloween attire and join them for what will deďŹ nitely be an entertaining and pleasantly unpredictable Halloween space odyssey. For more information about this show, please call the SCA at (716) 592-9038, or message the SCA’s Facebook page. For questions directly to the band, please contact Skelton at twskelton@ gmail.com.
Dr. Gavin Davison Achieves Board CertiďŹ cation from American Board of Surgery Bertrand Chaffee Hospital is pleased to announce that after taking his examinations this fall, Gavin Davison, MD has been board certiďŹ ed in surgery by the American Board of Surgery. Not all practicing surgeons are board certiďŹ ed. CertiďŹ cation is different from possessing a medical license, which is the minimum required by law to practice medicine. Board-certiďŹ ed surgeons like Dr. Davison choose this voluntary process to demonstrate a commitment to professionalism, lifelong learning and quality patient care. They meet rigorous educational, ethical and professional requirements before being granted the opportunity to take qualifying and certifying examinations. Board-certiďŹ ed surgeons commit to maintaining their certiďŹ cation through a program of continuous medical education, assessment and evaluation. “Patients have been calling for appointments since before we had a phone number for his ofďŹ ce,â€? said Surgical Services Manager Cynthia Lillie, RN. “He has had a busy ďŹ rst few weeks, which has been a great introduction to our patients and their health needs.â€? With Dr. Davison as chief of surgery, patients who choose
Fall Fun at Allegany State Park
Bertrand Chaffee Hospital will not only have access to a board-certiďŹ ed general surgeon close to home, but one who is trained in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. Patients who have laparoscopic procedures generally have decreased scarring, faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays and far less blood loss than traditional surgeries. The consultations and surgeries performed by Dr. Davison will complement the other procedures available through the Surgical Center, such as screening colonoscopies and endoscopies. Two other procedures will now be available through the Surgical Center: Mediport (port catheter) placement and PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) insertion. “We’re making investments in new equipment and technology to support laparoscopic surgery and Dr. Davison’s patients,â€? said Nils Gunnersen, CEO. “BCH continues its focus on making sure our community has access to vital and essential healthcare services.â€?
“Dr. Davison will be available to consult on patients who present in the emergency department and who are staying on the second oor,â€? said Vice President of Medical Affairs Edwin Heidelberger, MD. “This is a great addition to the types of medical procedures that our patients will be able to access within their community.â€? Dr. Davison opened his general surgery practice at on Bertrand Chaffee Hospital’s second oor as of Oct. 3, and the facility welcomed him with a reception on Oct. 14. He is accepting new patients and all major insurance plans. For more information, talk to your primary care provider or call (716) 794-3295.

Coaches’ Corner
Girls Varsity Volleyball, coach Kristin Hughey The girls varsity volleyball team defeated Holland on the road last week. Devin Rowe was on fire in the front row with four slamming’ kills during the match. Jessica Roggie’s serves were unstoppable in game two. Middle blockers Allie Emmick and Gabby Nichols were hard for Holland to get through. They both towered over their opponent. Meadow Wittman ran a 5-1 and confidently ran her team’s offensive leading them to another win. Girls Varsity Swimming, coach Karen Reynolds, assistant coach Christy Komenda Members of the 2016 Varsity Girls swim team attended Cheektowaga High School Saturday morning for an early swim meet versus the other small ECIC schools. This was an exciting meet for our girls because they were able to compete with girls similar in ability and their outcomes are highlighted the entire morning. I am very proud to say that SGI was very well represented with not only swimmers, but also finishes. Shannon O’Hara started the meet off taking 1st place overall in diving. The 200 Medley Relay of Yetter, Langa, Emley, and Boyles took a 2nd place overall. Patterson took a 1st overall in the 200 IM, and Milbrand took a 5th, Bergner took a 3rd in 100 free. The 500 was swept by Emley (1st), Patterson (2nd) and Jurkowski (5th). The 50 free was represented with Shannon O’Hara taking 2nd place and Olivia Langa taking 3rd. The 200 free relay of Langa, Bergner, O’Hara, and Yetter took 2nd. The 100 back we took a 1st with an ECIC time, Madisyn Emley, and Samantha Yetter took 3rd overall. The meet ended with Bergner, Emley, O’Hara, and Patterson taking a 1st in the 400 free realy and another 400 relay of Boyles, Dubel, Jurkowski, and Wissing took 3rd place. These girls have a lot to be proud of and I am looking forward to our returners to come back next year ready to rock it out! Congratulations ladies on a season well done! Girls JV Volleyball, coach Robert Gainey The JV girls volleyball suffered their second loss on the year Monday night when they hosted the Eden Raiders. The girls took control of game one behind the excellent play from Sara And Emily Ehlers. Both girls did a terrific job covering blocks and making great decisions with the ball. The team took the first game 25-16. Game two was a different story as the girls committed too many mistakes to help give the Raiders the game two win. The team couldn’t muster up enough good plays in the third game, as the team fell 25-16. Despite the outcome, the girls played a phenomenal match. The JV girls are currently 12-2 overall and will look to finish the season strong over the next week as they take on the East Aurora Blue Devils, Lackawanna Steelers, and Pioneer Panthers. Girls Modified Soccer, coach Alicia Dziak On Friday, Oct. 14, the modified girls soccer team faced off against Holland, and came away with a 3-2 win. The first goal was scored by Dru Robinson on a penalty shot. Holland came back with two quick goals, taking the lead. SGI answered with a second goal by Jackie Roggie, assisted by Shelby Stisser, followed by a third quarter breakaway goal by Caitlyn Hazen. Serenity Heim made her debut in goal and shut out her time in net during the second half. On Tuesday, Oct. 18, the girls fell to East Aurora, 3-0. All three goals were scored in the first half. Despite the loss, strong play was put in by the girls, especially seventh graders Brooke Walker, Arial Link and Maddie Schwanekamp. The girls finish up their season next week with three games versus Eden (away), Pioneer (home) and Holland (home). Come cheer them on!

East Otto Open House Nov. 5-6 East Otto Country Associates will celebrate their 30th Annual Holiday Open House on Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 5 and 6. Member businesses Brookside Studio Watercolors and Hog-Shed Studio Pottery are joining together to make this a special event. At Brookside Studio Watercolors, artist Robin Zefers Clark has added oil paintings to her fine selection of water color paintings. The oil paintings are the result of Clark’s “Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days” challenge. Clark took on this challenge to give her a new goal and fresh inspiration. “It was made a little more challenging because I chose to address the challenge in oils, which is a departure from my usual watercolors,” Clark said. “But the results are some wonderful, 6 inch by 8 inch oil paintings that are both beautiful and affordable.” Do you have a photo of your home that you have always wanted to enjoy as a painting? In her studio on Otto-Maples Road, Clark offers this service in watercolors, as well as her Limited Edition prints and reproductions, and “Grandcestor” Portraits. To learn more about Brookside
Studio Watercolors go to www. brooksidestudio.com or www. eastotto.com Just down the road, Elliott and Michael Hutten of HogShed Studio Pottery have been producing handmade stoneware pottery for the last 34 years.

A Look Back Continued from front page
1880, he hired CJ Shuttleworth to build the house on the corner of Main and Elk. When it was built, it was quite the house. Not only did it have the beauty of the Victorian period, but it was also the most state-of-the-art house in Springville at the time. It is the first house in the corporation to have a bath tub! Well, Mr. Myers’ financial success didn’t last very long. After some bad ventures in the city of Buffalo and the Panic of 1893, in July 1895, Mr. Myers found himself several thousand dollars in debt. Mr. Myers, however, had been manager of the David Ingalls estate. David Ingalls was large land owner that provided funds for the Soldiers Monument in Fiddler’s Green Park. The details are sketchy, but it looks like Mr. Myers withdrew $25,000 from a bank in Buffalo and was last seen heading to New York City. He was supposed to return to Springville for his birthday celebration, but was never seen or heard from again. His wife
and adopted daughter ended living the rest of their days in a cabin in the woods near Sandusky, NY. With the unknown demise of Mr. Myers, the house ended up being sold to Isaiah Gardinier, a local retired farmer-turnedreal estate agent in 1900. Mr. Gardinier, his wife, Hattie, and their daughter, Alice, would be the longest residents of the house. Mr. Gardinier passed away in 1913; his wife 15 years later in 1928, and that left the house to Alice. Alice had stayed with her parents and lived as a spinster because she was a deaf mute. When her mother died, Alice’s pastime was to sit in the tower of the house and watch the village for hours at a time. It was all she could do. The pine trees were not there at the time and people of the village could see Alice as well. Her existence was just to watch. Long after the supposed of death of Alice in 1940, people would still see here in the turret. Of course they did;
Alice didn’t die until 1947! Her cause of death it was listed as terminal exhaustion, which, in itself, is despairing. Today some people still see what we presume to be Alice Gardinier. At one point after Alice’s death, the house became an apartment house. In the late 1970s, the apartment house was used as housing for Vietnam Veterans. The despair the returning soldiers felt returning to an ungrateful country fits nicely into the character of the house and its previous owners. About 30 years ago, hope returned to the house when Leo and Linda Lubke took to task and restore the house. At the time, the mantel in the living room was missing, and all the pieces of the mantel were found under the front porch. It was as if the house wanted to be restored. The current owners are working hard adding new windows and repairing clapboards. Next time you drive by, don’t forget to look and see if Alice is watching.

of several County Roads in District 11, which he said have some of the “worst roads, most roads, worst drainage and most drainage complaints.” “I’m working very hard to get Springville-Boston Road repaired,” stated Mills. He has spoken to Bill Garry from Erie County, who said there was money in the budget to make this happen and they would start working on the culverts this year with anticipated construction slated for next year. The East Concord Highway Barn has started work patching Zoar Valley, Waverly and Mill Streets in preparation for the upcoming winter season. Highway Superintendent Dennis Dains noted during
public comment session that he is waiting to hear back from Erie County about fixing the 150 foot, 18 inch plugged pipe on Old Glenwood Road and Morse. Legislator Mills will look into this issue for the town. Legislator Mills also handed out information on the Western New York Hot Spot Fishing Map Guide, the Community Resource Guide and the Yellow Dot Program for residents. The Yellow Dot Program, created by the New York State Sheriffs’ Association, assists first responders in identifying life-saving medical attention after an emergency. The kit contains a personal identification card, with space to record medical information
which should be kept in the glove box of a car or at home in a plastic bag inside a freezer. A Yellow Dot sticker is placed on a car window or home to alert emergency responders that personal information is available. Yellow Dot kits are available at Concord Town Hall, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce. For more information please visit the Erie County Sheriff’s Office website, www.erie.gov/sheriff. The Town of Concord Board of Trustee’s next meeting is Thursday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. at Concord Town Hall, 86 Franklin Street, Springville.

Sheret Jewelers Celebrates Platinum Anniversary
By Ashlee Oakley
The Springville Times would like to congratulate Sheret Jewelers on their 70th year in business! Speaking with owner, Elise Rose, and briey with her husband/co-owner, Mike Rose, revealed impressive insight on the history of the building, the new renovations they have recently applied, and upcoming events that they will be hosting. “Since my grandfather opened the store, it has always been a family business, although we’ve had other people come in and out [as staff],â€? Elise explained. The Roses reopened the locally-recognized jewelry store after Elise’s father passed away in April 2013, and she said, “We needed to close the store, because he was a sole proprietor; you can’t just take over that kind of business; you need to restart it.â€? The Roses re-opened Sheret Jewelers in July 2013. When asked what credentials are necessary to become a jeweler, Elise described their thoughts and the process leading up to her husband becoming their in-house jeweler. “When we opened the store back up, we were sending everything to a jeweler near Jamestown, who my father had used for overow and such,â€? she said. They decided it would be better to do most of their work in-house, due to time constraints, shipping costs, and the ability to add on to the work that her family had been doing in the building for 70 years. Mike went to school for an intensive, three-month course at New Approach School for Jewelers in Tennessee in 2014, and received his certiďŹ cation. Elise noted, “I am currently in the process of becoming a gemologist, so that we can add appraisals to our services— we can’t do appraisals yet. I can’t grade stones, or tell you how much it costs.â€? She is excited to be able to continue to offer new services to her family business. Speaking about their 70th anniversary celebration, planned for Oct. 28 and 29, Elise said, “We just want to say thank you to everybody, because you don’t get to 70 years without the communityyou need them in order to get that far. This is also a thank you for sticking with us, because we have also not been fully open for the past two months because of the remodel.â€? The remodel was actually a serendipitous accident. Elise laughed, “It is the remodel that we have always wanted, but never would have done,â€? if a
pipe hadn’t burst inside of the historical building. “We have done the oors, repainted and rearranged some cases, while removing others. We painted, rearranged for a more openoor space, and rearranged the counter area. We moved and added doors. We also removed the two-way glass in the back.â€? The electric, windows, and painting of the outside were part of a grant that downtown was approved for, for Franklin, Mechanic, and Main Streets. The new grey theme is more of a sophisticated look— Elise smiled that she was going for a “more subdued and classicâ€? look than the bright purple hues that Sheret’s had been known for in the past. The Roses clearly love what they do. Elise cheerfully noted, “It’s always nice to be able to see the community, and talk to people when they come in.â€? As a young mother in a small town, with small children, seeing other friendly adult faces is deďŹ nitely a plus. “I also love having a more exible schedule— for instance, the other day we came in a little late so (Mike) could participate in the ďŹ re safety and prevention week at the school. Little things like that— it’s just nice being able to work with family and be exible.â€? Mike stated, “I think my favorite part is when somebody comes in and they think their family heirloom is garbage. Being able to restore it so that they can enjoy it when it’s done, I think that’s probably the coolest thing.â€? Elise spoke briey about A Very Merry Main Street, an annual event coming up in November. This is the fourth year; along with planning board committee members Mary James and Kim Carrow, Elise said she assists, “but Kim really does most of the work. We will have a couple businesses in here. We have the room for it, and not everybody does, so we will have a couple businesses inside. Also, we have expanded this year to include a business on Mechanic Street, which will have even more local businesses inside.
The Lucy Bensley Center will be open, along with the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Historical Society, and the Springville Center for the Arts will be involved this year as well, at their location on Franklin Street. We have expanded a bit, but we want to make sure we keep it downtown.� Many businesses have refreshments and great gifts for the upcoming holidays, and Rose said, “It’s really a lot of fun,� and is proud to be a participating member of the committee this year. See or contact any participating businesses for more information. When not on-site, the Roses enjoy spending time outside with their two small children. Mike has joined Springville Volunteer Fire Company, while Elise is a member of the group MOPS, and they are both members of the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce, with Mike being Vice-President of the Chamber board. Congratulations are in order for the Roses and their dedication to hard work and perseverance, and many wish them the best in their future endeavors at Sheret Jewelers. Stop in to their 70th anniversary celebration Friday, Oct. 28, and Saturday, Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to check out their newly-remodeled showroom, enter a few drawings, and enjoy some snacks!
