How can you go wrong with two nights of beer, wine, good friends and music? The 13th annual Beer and Wine Festival takes place this weekend, Nov. 11 and 12 at Holiday Valley, and is sure to be a rip-roarin’ good time! “People love beer! Especially millennials, who are becoming more and more interested in craft beers and their many flavors,” said Jane Eshbaugh, Holiday Valley’s marketing director. Kick off the weekend with Friday night’s Beer and Wine Dinner, starting at 6 p.m. “The Bootleggers Ball,” with a Roaring 20s-Prohibition theme, features several dishes prepared with and paired with unique and special brews. Tickets are $69 for drinks, beer sampling and dinner. For information, call (716) 699-3968. Purchase tickets at ww.holidayvalley.com. On Saturday, Nov. 12, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m., head to the Holiday Valley Beer and Wine Festival in HV’s Main Lodge. Live it up with great beers and wines. The festival features 30 craft brewers with over 100 beers and wines from New York State and the region. Eshbaugh noted that this year’s event will feature, “A few more food vendors – What’s Poppin’ Kettle Corn on the deck, Dom’s Butcher Block with smoked meats and Bavarian Nuts, in addition to our cafeteria offerings (sausage, pretzels, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.).” Each ticket includes a $5 food voucher to the food court. Live music will be flowing

Is your goal to find a unique gift for each person on your holiday shopping list? Are you tired of the mass produced merchandise from malls? The ideal destination for you to find all your holiday gifts this year is the Winter Arts Festival at Holiday Valley on Nov. 19 and 20. There you will find unique, hand-made paintings, prints, photographs, pottery, jewelry, wood carvings, purses, scarves, and hats, all created by regional artists and artisans. Here are a few of the artists you will find there: Watercolor artist John Balacki likes the Holiday Valley Lodge for this show and says, “It is a bright and spacious venue.” He brings his large framed pieces, as well as a wide selection of original notecards to the festival. Talking of his work, John says, “Watercolor has always appealed to me. The transparency of watercolor is such a strong factor as well as light and the way it interacts with See Winter Arts Festival page 7

Kick Off the Holidays with Christmas in Ellicottville By Jann Wiswall
For most people, the Thanksgiving weekend is all about family, and there’s no better place for families than in the charming village of Ellicottville, where the Chamber of Commerce pulls out all the stops to welcome visitors of every age to spend some quality time and mark the start of the Christmas season. See Christmas in Ellicottville page 6
Planning Board to Address Notification Process
The regularly scheduled meeting of the Village Planning Board (PB) was held on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at the Village/ Town Hall. Two concerned village homeowners addressed the PB about their notification system to adjoining property owners where a project is occurring. For Public Hearings, the PB
must give the homeowners a 10-day notification. Because a majority of the village is secondary homeowners, they feel this is not enough time to find out about the project, do research, travel to Ellicottville and give their opinion. The PB was grateful for the comments and concerns, and are considering ways to create better processes and advised
they have been working in conjunction with the Village Board to find solutions. The Architectural Review and Landscape Plan for the project on the Mill Street Project was approved. They have added a new window to the home and these plans were presented to the PB at this month’s work session. The
The Rotary Club of Ellicottville donated 24 banquet and 14 high-top tables and storage carts to be used in the Rotary Auditorium at the Town Center, enhancing the use of this great space. “The existing rectangular
tables are aging and not very functional for formal gatherings like weddings and parties, so these are a welcome addition,” said manager Justin Dineen. The Rotary Club of Ellicottville continues to work with the Rotary
District 7090’s grant program, which matches funds up to $2,000 to help with this and other projects in the community. The Rotary Club of Ellicottville and the Town of Ellicottville agreed to a

Marissa Hamilton Signs with UB
Since they were little girls, Tammy Hamilton would always sing the song “I Hope You Dance” by Lee Ann Womack to her daughters Janae and Marissa. In a nutshell, the song is about perseverance and taking risks as you move through life. The signature lines of the song say it perfectly: “And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.” The end result… Janae is currently a member of the 24 and 5 Alfred State College Volleyball team that will be playing in the USCAA National Championship Tournament this weekend in Virginia Beach. And, today, November 9, 2016, Marissa signed her national letter of intent to play Division 1 basketball at the University of Buffalo on a full scholarship! Marissa has worked very hard to get to this point in her sports career. She is a three season standout athlete at Ellicottville Central School. She played on the 2012 ECS Volleyball team that claimed the NYS Class D Championship and over the past three years has served as a team captain. In the spring she has been a member of the track and softball teams. And, as good as her accomplishments have been in these arenas, basketball has always been her first love and where she truly shines as an athlete. Marissa has yet

to play her senior year, but her statistics are already very impressive: Big 30 First Team All-Star 2014, 2015, ECS Team MVP 2014, 2015, CCAA East league MVP 2014, 2015, CCAA East League 1st Team All-Star 2014, 2015, Olean Times Herald Big 30 All-Star 2014, 2015, Big 30 Highest Point Percentage per game 2014, 2015, 1000 points Honor in her Junior Year, Scholar Athlete 2014, 2015, Western New York Honorable Mention All-Star As Marissa prepares for her Senior Year, she is looking to duplicate the success she experienced during her Junior Year. In one game during the 2015-16 campaign, Marissa scored 8 three point shots on her way to a game high 38 points! She will be a captain on the team and her goal is to help lead her team to a league title. When asked how she feels about becoming a Bull at the University of Buffalo, Marissa replies: I’m excited and grateful that I have this opportunity!” Marissa would
also like to thank her family and all the coaches that have worked with her at ECS. She would also like to thank Brian McFadden and the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce for sponsoring her in the Full Court Hoops Nationals Team; where she played throughout the northeast (Washington DC, Chicago, Indiana) over this past summer. Chad Bartoszek, Marissa’s basketball coach at ECS said it has been a pleasure to work with her in basketball over the past four years. “She has put a tremendous amount of work into reaching her goals as a basketball player, and she should be proud of her achievements.” Marissa’s mom is especially proud of her perseverance and hard work in getting to this point in her career. In fact, the entire ECS Family is proud of Marissa and we look forward to watching her play on the ECS Court this year… and “dance” on the UB Court next year. Congratulations Marissa!

ECSNews Dragons Blast Titans
It was a perfect evening for football— the temperature was milder than forecast and the wind held at bay. Playing on the Buffalo Bills’ home turf was an exciting moment for both teams, the EllicottvilleFranklinville Titans and the Red Dragons from Maple Grove. The Dragons were the heavy favorite going into the Section VI Class D Championship game last Friday, Nov. 4 on New Era Field. The game started at 5 p.m., so the sun was still in the sky, and was the only bright spot for the Titans. It didn’t take long for the Dragons to score their first two touchdowns, having both a strong air and ground attack that the Titans defense wasn’t able to consistently stop. The Titans offense came up against a solid wall in the Dragon defense that shut them out of the first half scoring. After the teams ran off the field and down the tunnel, the few hundred fans enjoyed performances by both cheerleader groups at center field during half time. By Indrek Kongats

The Dragons were the heavy favorite going into the Section VI Class D Championship game last Friday, Nov. 4 on New Era Field. The game started at 5 p.m., so the sun was still in the sky, and was the only bright spot for the Titans. It didn’t take long for the Dragons to score their first two touchdowns, having both a strong air and ground attack that the Titans defense wasn’t able to consistently stop. The Titans offense came up against a solid wall in the Dragon defense that shut them out of the first half scoring. After the teams ran off the field and down the tunnel, the few hundred fans enjoyed performances by both cheerleader groups at center field during half time. The third quarter was more of the same, and the relentless Red Dragon attack put more points onto the board and it looked like curtains for the Titans. It wasn’t that the Titans didn’t play well; they just didn’t play well enough. No. 42 junior quarterback Brock Blecha, moved the team down the field with some great
first down plays to his favorite targets, No. 31 senior Austin Whitmer, No. 14 senior Dooley Brennan, No. 33 junior Griffin Chudy and No. 37 junior Austin Grinols, but never got into scoring position as they were forced to punt time and time again. The Dragons seemed to score at will. Just as the quarter ended, the Titans made a great drive down the field and scored on a QB sneak for six points. The failed two- point conversion left the score at the end the third quarter 20 – 6 in favor of Maple Grove. The final quarter didn’t fare well for the combined team of Ellicottville and Franklinville student- athletes, as Maple Grove put more points on the board and kept the Titans scoreless once again. The game ended with Maple Grove as the victors, 33-6. A highlight of the evening was when No. 62 senior Preston Hutchinson was honored with the Good Character Award. Coach Chad Bartoszek’s team played well all season and are sure to be top contenders come next season, even with the loss of 12 seniors. Blecha, Chudy and Grinols will be returning to lead the offense and anchor the Titans defense. Photos by Indrek Kongats

The PB also asked that the trim around east and west windows and new doors be changed to 4 inches on three sides, and 6 inches on the bottom. The PB is allowing the homeowner to change the material they are using on their garage to another allowable
material. This will have the home and garage match for an overall better aesthetic. The conditions of the approval for 35 W.

The Chamber has been hosting “Christmas in Ellicottville” for decades and participation in has been growing in recent years. In fact, there was a record-breaking number of visitors last year, which prompted the Chamber to add even more activities to its Christmas in Ellicottville schedule of events roster this year. Membership services and events coordinator Barbara Pump said more exciting, family-focused activities are being planned this year to accommodate even more visitors. “We expect to have the full schedule of events nailed down by the end of the week,” she said, but most activities are already set. Christmas in Ellicottville kicks off on Friday, Nov. 25 with the “Gift of Lights,” the traditional lighting of the trees lining the village streets and the three-story tall Village Christmas tree. Santa’s in charge here, so be sure to bring the little ones! Throughout the weekend, with the charming village as a backdrop, you’ll be treated to old-school strolling carolers, featuring the talented members of the Ellicottville Sound Chorus, horse-drawn wagon rides, breakfast and fire truck rides with Santa and loads of interactive activities for the kids: pet a real reindeer; make decorations, play some games, meet Santa! And don’t forget that all of the Village’s shops and restaurants will be open all weekend for your shopping and dining enjoyment. On Saturday, the village — along with the rest of the country — celebrates Small Business Saturday. This is a great way to start (or finish?)

checking off your holiday shopping list while supporting one of the nation’s most important economic drivers —small businesses. As you visit the boutiques and shops throughout the village, you’ll also be able to admire some truly creative, themed holiday window displays. Of course, Christmas in Ellicottville doesn’t last for just one weekend. Throughout the month, you’ll want to return for celebration, shopping and superb dining, as well as some more quintessential Ellicottville events. One of Ellicottville’s most popular fundraisers of the year, Bob McCarthy’s Irish Christmas, takes place on Friday, Dec. 2 at Ellicottville Brewing Company. The exciting pie auction and dinner event, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ellicottville, raises funds to purchase and provide gifts and meals for needy families. Then on Saturday, Dec. 3,
plan to take part in the village’s old-fashioned Christmas Stroll, one of Ellicottville’s most beloved, can’t-miss events. Dozens of holiday activities take place all afternoon, including the always exciting “reindog” parade and the Living Nativity featuring live camels and talented performers who take their places at the Village Gazebo. There’s also a super exciting “Goodie Hunt” involving teams and prizes galore. Make your plans now to join in on this one-of-a-kind holiday celebration month. For more details and announcements about additional events and activities, visit www.ellicottvilleny.com. All events will be held with snow or no, but be sure to check the Holiday Valley and HoliMont websites regularly to see about maybe doing a little boarding or skiing while you’re in town!

objects and people.” You will find a wide variety of subjects in John’s watercolor paintings – from seaside scenes to café streets. He finds inspiration everywhere. Pam Delyannis of Pinnacle Pottery also looks forward to the Winter Arts Festival. “It is a chance to meet the customers and see what the other exhibitors make. And a little visiting as well. It’s a very relaxed environment.” You will find beautiful, as well as useful, items at Pinnacle Pottery. Pam has been creating pottery for 40 years and is always trying new shapes and glazes. When asked what she likes to give for holiday gifts, she explains, “My friends and family have plenty of pottery from me, so it’s always a challenge to find unique items. I like to give baskets filled with handmade things I find at the shows. Also I add baked goods, because I love to bake and the holidays are a good time to indulge in holiday goodies.” If you are looking for paintings of the natural world, be sure to visit Judson Brown’s booth at the Winter Arts Festival. Nature is Judson’s inspiration for his paintings. “Everyday there is an abundance of scenes that inspire me, from my daily walks through our own woods to the rivers and mountains of the Adirondacks.” He describes his process, saying, “I enjoy pushing the paint around the canvas in the beginning stages of the painting with palette knife, fingers or whatever it takes. As the painting develops, I refine the areas of interest in the scene that first inspired me to paint it. The final details and center of interest must support the whole idea in the end.” As for holiday gift giving, Judson

Hoop Season is Here
By Indrek Kongats
Ellicottville High School has started their basketball season with tryouts having taken place Monday, Nov. 7 for JV and Varsity teams, both boys and girls. Everyone is excited and looking forward to repeating the successes from last season, where the boys Varsity went 15-8 eventually losing to NYS finalists Panama High School in the playoffs. Players to watch include on the girls Varsity squad, Marissa Hamilton, who was the Player of the Year and will be playing in her senior year, and on the boys squad, Elliot Bowen, who averaged 19.3 points per game last season and will only be a junior this year. The coach for the boys Varsity is Dan McCann, and for the girls Varsity it is Chad Bartoszek, who you’ll recognize as the Titans football coach who took the team to the Section VI Class D finals last Friday. While we are waiting for rosters and schedule
updates to be confirmed for the Eagles and Lady Eagles, local college basketball has already started and there are some excellent games to go see this weekend. Division I Basketball Atlantic 10 Conference St. Bonaventure University Men’s Basketball team plays host to St. Francis from Pennsylvania at the Reilly Center; game time is 4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 12. The SBU women’s team plays Colgate University, also at the Reilly Center, at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13. Local hoops standout from Randolph High School, McKenna Maycock, plays for the Bonnies women’s team. Division III Basketball - Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Hilbert College men’s basketball team plays Durham College from Ontario, Canada on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Hafner Center in Hamburg, NY; game time is 4 p.m. Local area players to watch are Josh Eddy from Panama High School and Connor McAllister from Randolph High School. The men’s team also plays the following week, Nov.15, in a double header with the women’s team against Elmira College. Game times are 6 p.m. for the women, followed by the men at 8 p.m. On Nov.18 and 19, the men’s team is hosting their annual Tip Off Tournament against Fredonia State, Cazenovia College and Mount Union College from Ohio. Hilbert plays Cazenovia in their first game at 8 p.m. On the women’s
team, be sure to watch local area standout Shannon Rodgers from Pioneer High School. Player Development Tip of the Week Shooting is the number one passion in the sport of basketball. Every player wants to score points for their team but after graduation from high school shooting and scoring at the college level takes on a whole new meaning. Young players are obsessed with the three point line and will practice three-point shots more than any other. Unfortunately, shooting longer shots than your body is capable of performing creates bad form and mechanics that are almost impossible to fix. Young players end up pushing the ball toward the basket and shooting from their shoulder or below. The ideal shot should come from above the head. Without the proper strength in the arms and the legs, young players resort to getting the ball to the basket whatever way that they can. Practice shooting from in close, 5 to 10 feet away, raising the ball above your head and releasing it from your hand with your arms almost straight or fully extended as in the illustration below. Shoot from a range that you can do this all of the time. A defender can easily block shoulder shooters but may not reach a ball released from above your head. As your body develops and as you get stronger increase your range, be patient— your time to shot 3s like Stephen Curry will come in due time.

partnership in 2013 to create the Rotary Auditorium in the Ellicottville Town Center. The Rotary Club kicked off the partnership, providing an epoxy floor for the auditorium, with the help of Dineen Painting, followed by installation of “sound management” panels to improve the acoustical properties of the space. “Our Club wanted to help create a space within the Town Center that could be used by our entire community,” explained Rotarian David Blanchard. In 2014, Rotary donated and installed an outdoor patio, with the help of local volunteers, providing a natural connection from the Auditorium to the Nannen Arboretum, which is part

an alternative for weddings and parties, while utilizing the beauty of the Arboretum and the functionality of the auditorium, is a positive addition to our community.”

Updates to Graduation Requirements Outlined During ECS Board Meeting By Christopher Gordon
Changes to graduation requirements were outlined at the ECS school board meeting Oct. 25 by elementary school principal Connie Poulin. One aspect she stressed is not all students who graduate receive a diploma. Some receive a high school diploma, while others receive credentials. In order to receive a Regents diploma, the student must receive 22 credits and a grade of 65 percent or higher on four regents exams (ELA, math, social studies and science) as well as either an additional course or courses in math, social studies, science, LOTE, CTE, arts or to obtain a CDOS Credential. A student can qualify for a local diploma if they earn 22 credits and have a low pass score of 55-64 on Regents exams. There is one compensatory option as a student can earn a score of 45-54 on one or more of the required exams – which excludes math or ELA – if they receive scores of 65 percent or higher on other exams. They must also meet the district’s requirements on attendance and courses. There is also a chance for the superintendent to make a determination on graduation if a student with an IEP scores below 55 on the Regents exams and the superintendent can
show that the student otherwise showed they are proficient in the subject. “It’s a last ditch effort to get them through,” Superintendent Mark J. Ward said. There are also what are known as credentials. The credentials – also known as Career Development and Occupational Studies Commencement Credential – is given in conjunction with a diploma. Credentials are for some students that have disabilities. Those students must be provided opportunities to earn a diploma. There are a couple of options with credentials. Option 1 includes a career plan that is completed annually. It must include two units, or 216 hours, of study in coursework for CTE which includes workbased learning. The student must have at least 54 hours of work-based learning as part of the qualifications. The student must also complete an employability profile as part of the plan. Option 2 would be to attain a nationally recognized work readiness credential. According to Poulin, the updates were made in June and she thought now was a good time to give the board an update. Also during the meeting, the board started making its plans
in regards to another major change on the horizon. With the impending retirement of Ward as superintendent, the board decided it wanted to set up a retreat to discuss plans to search for his replacement. Ward said during the meeting that he has been employed by the district for nearly 40 years, so he will not be easy to replace. The board will be holding a retreat on Tuesday, Nov. 29. At that time, they are expected to formulate plans on the search for Ward’s replacement. The board originally discussed whether to hold the retreat Nov. 22, but not all members could make it due to traveling for Thanksgiving. In other news, the board will meet just once in November. The board will hold a regular meeting Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. at Ellicottville High School. The board normally meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month, but postponed the meeting which normally would have been held Nov. 8 due to Election Day. And due to a Nov. 22 being Thanksgiving week, there will be no board meeting that week either. Holiday season will impact the board’s schedule again in December, as it will hold only one meeting that month, on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

Village Shows Strong FY2016 Financial Position
By Jennifer Weber
The Village of Springville Board of Trustees meeting held on Monday, Nov. 7 began with a moment of silence in honor of Alyssa Hearn, the student who tragically lost her life in a bus accident on Friday, Nov. 5 on East Main Street. “We’re a small village in a rural setting and we don’t think that tragedies of this magnitude and this sort happen in our little town, but last Friday this tragedy reminded us all of our frailty,” stated Springville Mayor Bill Krebs. “I think it’s fitting that we pray for the strength and faith that the Village and larger community needs to help each other through this crisis and
specifically to remember in our prayers and thoughts the family, the fellow students of Alyssa, the school personnel and the first responders.” Following the moment of silence, the board meeting began with the overview of the Village of Springville Independent Auditor report for the fiscal year ending May 2016, presented by Laura Landers from Freed Maxick CPAs. The general fund has a “small surplus, good fund balance, and still some money left over in capital reserves,” reported Landers. “The general fund is really in a strong financial position as of May 31, 2016.” The overall summary report

Gobble for Groceries Thanksgiving Day
Trading Post Provides Numerous Community Services
By Alicia Dziak
Most people have their own Thanksgiving traditions. Whether that includes a morning hunt in the woods, listening to “Alice’s Restaurant,” going around the table and sharing what you are most thankful for, or just gorging on a delicious turkey dinner with all the fixings, perhaps there’s room for one more. Springville’s 6th annual Gobble for Groceries, hosted by the Trading Post, is happening Thanksgiving morning, and it’s a great chance to give back to the community. “This is a great familyfriendly event that brings the community together,” said Christine Greene, who cochairs the event with Rick Manzone.
Gobble for Groceries began years ago because a group of local runners, who would attend Buffalo’s busy Turkey Trot, suggested doing something local that benefitted Springville. Gobble for Groceries was born, starting

Letter from the Editor Last week, our community suffered a terrible loss when a beautiful little girl lost her life. Many lives will be affected by the events of the past week for years to come, and our hearts go out to this entire community. In the wake of this tragedy, the Springville/SGI family has come together in many ways to honor the memory of sweet Alyssa, and we have put aside any differences to offer each other comfort and support. Now, more than ever, I am proud to be part of this community and of this school district. Let’s forever stay #springvillestrong. - Alicia Dziak, editor

Why do clients choose
By Alicia Dziak
As we head into the season of giving, there are so many local organizations that would love some help, whether it be with donations of money, supplies or time. With so many to choose from, picking the right one might be a matter of proximity or something close to your heart. Last year, my family decided to work with Empire Animal Rescue Society (EARS) as part of a school project my daughter was doing. EARS is based in Salamanca, has helped hundreds of animals find their forever homes over the years. Thanks to Courtney Valent, who, along with a dedicated group of volunteers, runs the foster-home based rescue, numerous cats, dogs and other animals are matched up with foster families, who make sure the animals are loved and taken care of until the perfect family is found. Potential adopters fill out an application, and Valent and her team carefully go through each one, making sure the right family adopts the right pet. My family loves animals, and over the course of the last school year, we fostered and helped find homes for 13 dogs, two of which ended up as permanent residents in our house. Some of them stayed for only a few days, others a few weeks. This week, with a little more time on our hands again, we eagerly started back up with fostering. Our newest house guest is Lacey, a medium-sized mixed breed dog who arrived in New York after being in a high-kill Kentucky shelter. As with all our foster dogs, EARS provides the food and other

supplies if needed, and our job is to love her and take care of her until she can be paired with her perfect family. Foster families also serve as a great tool to let potential adopters know more about each animal. Are they good with other dogs and cats? Are they house trained? Are they crate trained? Do they have endless energy or do they prefer to chill all day? These are all questions that foster families can answer. Along the way, we’ve learned a lot about different breeds and their characteristics, and as a family, we’ve all pitched in to make it work, even finding it gives us additional time to bond as we pick out new fosters or take dogs to vet appointments. Fostering animals is a fun way to give back, and EARS is always looking for new foster families. They are currently in dire need of families who can

foster cats. If you are looking to help, but can’t commit to adopting or fostering an animal, there are many other ways you can pitch in. EARS is always in need of food (Purina brand), kennels, dog houses, towels, bleach and toys. The cats love any type of canned food and any kind of fun cat toys and treats. EARS is also always in need of cat litter, and will accept any brand at any time. Financial donations are accepted as well. Donations can be mailed in or made via PayPal and sent to empirerescue@gmail.com. See all the adorable pets EARS has up for adoption at www.empire.petfinder.com, or check out their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ EmpireAnimalRescue) for all kinds of great info. Message them through their page if you can help.

Trading Post, at 38 Franklin Street. The course splits for the 5K and fun walk. Manzone will DJ the event. Other highlights include Mandy Hintz signing the National Anthem, a post-race party that includes coffee from Tim Horton’s, a variety of snacks, an auction for a one-year gym membership from Springville Health & Fitness and, of course, a turkey mingling with the crowd for all your race photo opps. Customdesigned t-shirts will also be available for purchase. “This year, they’ll be longsleeved and cost $10-$15,” said Greene of the popular shirts. Prizes will be awarded in a variety of non-traditional, TBD categories. Instead of a traditional entry fee, racers are asked to bring a cash donation or a bag of nonperishable groceries. Every dollar donated is enough for seven pounds of food to stock the pantry shelves. While no pre-registration is available, the required release form can be printed ahead of time (from their Facebook page) to save time that morning. Money raised will stay in Springville and go toward the Trading Post, a non-for-profit that provides many services to the community. “We house a clothing/ trading swap, and are one of the WNY Food Bank agencies,” explained Debbie Hintz, director of the Trading Post. “We distribute food to families in

If interested in volunteering, call
the Trading Post or stop in and fill out an application. Another way to help is to donate to the Trading Post food pantry. With the holidays coming up, they are looking for donations of turkeys and all the holiday dinner fixings. In addition, non-perishable canned goods, such as peanut butter, soups and tuna, are always needed. As a way of saying thank you to the community, the Trading Post has planned an all-new event. On Dec. 3, at 6:30 p.m., head to Fiddler’s Green Park for the Christmas Carolcade. The event will be led by local musicians and everyone is welcome to join in on the festive caroling centered around the gazebo. “There will be a candle lighting for ‘Silent Night’,” Hintz said. “It’s about taking a few minutes to reflect on the season.” The Trading Post is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more info, call (716) 592-4455.

those who would have died, who came home as amputees. The war-stuck communities didn’t have the resources to handle the new stress that returning veterans brought to the community. In 1866, Benjamin F. Stephenson of Decatur Ill created the G.A.R. to help resolve those issues. Membership was limited to honorably discharged veterans of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Revenue Cutter Service. The fraternal organization for veterans was a great way to keep old friendships, but ever further, it became a political powerhouse for veteran’s issues, civil rights and Republican Party ideals. It was the national first organization that was racially integrated. On the national level, the organization was broken into departments on the state level, and posts at the community level. Annually, the group held a national encampment, attracting hundreds of thousands of Civil War veterans. The last national encampment was in 1949; the group official disbanded in 1956 with the death of its last
member, Albert Woolson. In Springville, the G.A. R. Crary Post No. 87 was formed in 1881 with 18 charter members. The post was named after Charles Crary, who served as a First Lieutenant in the 116th NY. The first elected officers were Harlan Spaulding, Commander, who served as a Captain in the Seventh Regular Colored Troops; John P. Meyers, Senior Vice Commander, served in the 104th NY and was imprisoned at Andersonville Prison; J. Oswald, Junior Vice Commander, service unknown; O. M. Morse Adj’t, service unknown; E.L. Hoops, Quarter Master, service unknown; George Barker , O. D. service unknown; Stephen Spaulding, O. G., served the 116th NY Company F; W H Agard, Chaplain, service unknown; Carlos Waite (Dr. Waite’s father), Surgeon, served 116th NY Company F; E. D. Bement, S. M., served 116th NY Company F; and William H. Warner (Pop’s father), Quarter Master Sergeant, served as a First Lieutenant 4th Regiment of the Arkansas Calvary Company I, later commissioned
as a Captain in Company F (The Arkansas Calvary was a Union Regiment). Of importance was the fact that the G. A. R. had a very active women’s auxiliary, made up of some of the most prominent women in Springville at the time. These very active women worked very hard to raise the funds for permanent post for the G. A.R. in the 1890s. In 1895, work was completed on the log cabin on South Buffalo Street. It is a rarity of its kind. There only two G. A. R. log cabins in New York State that still exist. The local post disbanded in the late 1940s. In 1950, the log cabin became the home to the American Legion Post 431. They had met above the Carousel Shop since 1950. The American Legion remained there until the early 1990s, when they moved to their current home on Zoar Valley Road. Photo: The G. A. R. Log Cabin and Fountain Hose Fire Company late 1890s. Note the power poles; the original power plant was located on South Buffalo Street near community pool.

of the Village of Springville Zoning Board effective Dec. 1, 2016. The Board is seeking recommendations for the open position. If any residents would like to be considered, please contact the Village Office for more information. Village Administrator Liz Melock reminded the public about the seasonal parking ban in place from Nov. 10, 2016 to April 1, 2017. Violation of the law may result in a ticket or a tow at the owner’s expense by order of the Village of Springville Police department. Superintendent of Public Works Kenneth Kostowniak reported that work on Heritage Park “is moving along at a lightning pace.” The blacktop parking lot should be in place by the end of the week and the parking lot will be temporarily closed while this work is completed. The Village Board approved a request for an additional $35,000 from the unappropriated fund balance to go to the Heritage Park Factory Street Project upon the
recommendation of the project engineer to rebuild the north/ south section of Factory Street, due to the existing road falling apart and collapsing upon installation of the new water line. The police department will be conducing three commercial vehicle enforcement checks in the month of November, along with three potential additional checks in December held alongside the New York State Department of Transportation. Krebs extended thanks to the Village Police and Erie County Sheriff investigators for assisting the Springville community last week during the tragic accident on Main Street.

small crowds became a hobby early on and she continues to enjoy playing soft rock/country covers at local restaurants and bars in her free time, as she attends graduate school. Marshall, a Bradford, PA native, will be making her Allegany State Park debut in a performance that the whole family can enjoy! This free “By

Outdoor�Adventure The Ultimate Deer Gun
November 11 - 17, 2016
31 East Main Street, Springville NY 14141 (716) 592-4941
By Indrek Kongats
The most popular style of automobile used to be the sedan, then came the ever popular mini-van and today, it is the Sport Utility Vehicle or SUV. The reason the SUV is so popular is because it is so practical. During the day, it is your commute to work; after work, it takes the kids to soccer and in the evening, it is your going out on the town car. It has room to haul large loads, it can handle all weather and road conditions, it sits high so you see the road better and it has certain glamour or lifestyle associated with it that people love. Well, there is a rifle, or a gun, or whatever you might wish to call it, that is the utility vehicle in the hunting world— it’s called a combination gun or more exactly a Savage 24. The Savage 24 is an over and under rifle shotgun and has been manufactured off and on from the late ‘30s to just being reintroduced as the Savage 42. Originally, it was a survival rifle made for combat pilots in World War II in the event that if the pilot was shot down in a remote area he could use it to survive. The first versions where manufactured in the same calibers as the modern Savage 42, 22 long rifle over a 410 ga. shotgun. Over the years, and particularly in the 70s, it grew and was manufactured in larger calibers like the 30-30 and 20 ga. Then in and around 2005, it was offered in everything from 22 up to 357 mag. over 410 ga. to 12 ga. The combination that I picked out specifically for my needs was the 30-30 over the 12 ga., black with an allweather synthetic stock. The reason for this was that I was traveling to the Arctic to hunt caribou and wanted something that I could also hunt ptarmigan without having to take two weapons and worry about exceeding the strict 55-pound baggage weight limits imposed by all the airlines. The 3030 was ideal for the caribou and the 12 ga. was excellent for ptarmigan. I also used the shotgun for defense against nosey bears while fishing for Arctic char and brook trout. It was the perfect weapon. When I came home, I decided to also use it for deer hunting and on my very first outing, I

bagged a nice 6-point at 80 yards with a 160gr Hornady 30-30 shell, a clean kill with the buck stopping dead in its tracks. My thinking was that the slug that was cambered in the shotgun barrel would work well at closer range and in heavier cover while the centerfire caliber would work at a greater distance of a hundred yards or more. With the new hunting regulations allowing the use of centerfire deer rifles and the long popularity of the traditional shotgun, it was the best of both worlds. Before I bought my Savage 24, I had used my grandfather’s Savage 24 22 LR over 410 ga., so I was well aware of this type of gun and that definitely influenced my desire to own one. His was a very plain gun with a nice wooden stock, but no fancy checkering. He used it mainly on porcupines that constantly ate holes in the guest cabins of the resort he operated in northern Canada. He also used it on woodchucks and hunted ruffed grouse with it. I used it for all of the above and target practice as a kid. For big game hunting, I wanted to have more than iron sights, so I purchased a quick aim red dot type sight that I thought would be useful on moving deer and flying birds. The problem that I found was that the recoil from the shotgun slug was violent enough that I would have to re-adjust windage and elevation on a regular basis. This wouldn’t do, so I replaced it with a variable scope that went as low as 3 power for close quarters and higher powers for longer shots. I now find that the 3 power setting is all that I ever use or need unless I’m spotting with it. I recently went out to the range to record the aim of this rifle after reading some comments questioning its
accuracy. The theory was that having two independent barrels one above the other the point of aim would be different when sighted in. There were also comments that the recoil from the slug would smash the scope into the shooter’s eye; there were comments that it was too heavy and too slow to swing on a bird. In other words, there were a lot of negative comments written, but I am not sure if any of the authors of those comments ever hunted with the gun. First and foremost, once sighted in the 12 ga. slug and the 30-30 160 gr. bullet ended up close enough that I wasn’t sure whether or not they went through the same hole. After I adjusted the windage by a couple of clicks to separate the slug from the bullet, the gun proved very accurate. I ended up shooting about 20 rounds, 10 each through the shotgun barrel and rifle barrel and not once did I get whacked in the eye by the scope. The gun is heavy I guess, at 7.5 pounds, but that just helps in absorbing the recoil and after 20 rounds, my shoulder never felt sore. I can testify that the gun swings just fine, as I had no problem downing Ptarmigan on my Arctic trip. So my final conclusion is that it truly is the ultimate gun for eastern whitetail deer hunting. One more thing: it is not as fast in pumping out lead or as much of it as a semi-automatic rifle or shotgun, but it is quicker to load and quicker to change slugs to bird shot if the occasion arises— and do we really need more than one or two shots on a deer or do we need more practice on the firing range? Unfortunately, the only guns available today in the 30-30 over 12 ga. are on the used gun market, that is if you can find one.
