I’ve never met her in person, for years now, I’ve exchanged emails and phone calls with her about these clinics. This year, when we chatted a few weeks ago, Lisa told me about her
new book, called Ski Faster! Guide to Racing and High Performance Skiing. I was anxious to check it out. “This is the 2nd edition of my very first book, which was published in 2000,” Lisa explained. “I’ve had many, many requests for a 2nd edition ever since. It was my husband, Jack, who really gave me the nudge to update the book. He started ski racing about 6 years ago. He understood the need for the book more than I did, as there is nothing available like it. It was a labor of love, to be honest. I love skiing and ski racing and enjoy coaching and sharing my knowledge of my favorite sport with others.”

I was in middle and high school during the glory days of the Buffalo Bills, so I grew up with years of them making the playoffs and getting all the way to the Super Bowl when I was in grades 8-11. Back then, to me, the Super Bowl was a holiday. As an eighth grader, I remember being at my friend’s house, my girlfriends and I all standing up and anxiously holding hands as Scott Norwood kicked that fateful field goal. Enough said about that. Fast forward to 2017. Now when Super Bowl Sunday rolls around, there’s really only one thing on my mind— skiing. Those who make it to the slopes on this day know it’s one of the absolute best days of the winter to be out there, and the reason is that it’s Super Bowl Sunday and nobody is thinking about skiing. As expected, Holiday Valley was a ghost town last Sunday afternoon. We got onto the Yodeler lift without waiting at all, and started taking run after run, enjoying near-perfect conditions and comfortable temps. At some point, my daughters and my nephews discovered one of the “clan rocks.” This turned into trying to find all of them, which are scattered throughout the resort. If you aren’t familiar with these, check out the article below. After finding all of them, in between getting in a ton of the best runs of the season with zero wait time in between, we ended our day at the “Fort” along the middle of the Tannenbaum trail—the first time any of us had actually been inside of it. It’s amazing the things you notice and have time to explore when you seemingly have the place to yourself. When headed home around 6:30 (it seemed so much later because we had skied so much!), all four of the kids said this was their favorite time skiing EVER. That’s saying a lot and I’d have to agree. No matter how many times we’ve been to Holiday Valley, there’s always something new to discover and a new adventure to be had. Next year, when Super Bowl Sunday rolls around, I’d love to be watching our beloved Bills playing in it. But, in case that doesn’t happen, consider joining me on the slopes in Ellicottville! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Ellicottville Times
The Clan Rocks at Holiday Valley
Winter after winter, folks skiing and riding on the slopes of Holiday Valley are unaware that there is a wonderful surprise hiding just off the trails throughout the resort. In 1992, Holiday Valley placed carved Clan Rocks throughout the resort to pay homage to the Seneca Nation, one of the six nations of the Iroquois Confederacy who occupied the land in Western New York where Holiday Valley is located. Within the Seneca Nation, there are eight clans and each clan is represented by an animal with certain respected traits. Seneca storyteller DuWayne Bowen provided the information below about the Seneca Nation and the meaning of each clan animal. Holiday Valley designed the Clan Hunt Challenge for children enrolled in the children’s Mountain Adventure Program to encourage them to explore the resort while learning about local Native American culture. The program challenges kids to have a “Clan Hunt” where they ski around the resort with their instructor in search of the secret Indian Clan Rocks. A map is provided and stickers representing the clans are placed at the location of each clan rock. Once all the clan rocks are found, the kids head to The Fort, hidden away in the woods of Tannenbaum, to find out how the clans all tie together. Not only is this a great mountain adventure where kids learn how to follow a trail map, but they also learn about Native American culture in the Western New York area.
8 Seneca Nation Clans There are eight clans among the Seneca people that are divided into the animal family and the bird family. Snipe Clan doh-wees’ doh-wee” The snipe clan had the fewest members. The snipe is a gentle water bird but has a piercing cry. Beaver Clan “nah-gohn-yaht’ goht” The beaver is the busiest of all animals. He is admired for his working skills and perseverance. He is such a good worker that he can work during the day as well as the night. Heron Clan – “joh-eh-seh” The great blue heron is noted for his great patience. He is an excellent hunter and is admired for his great hue of blue. Hawk Clan “gah-geet’dahs” The hawk is one of the best hunters in the world. He is swift, silent and deadly. He can see a rodent from his flight 1,000 feet in the air. Deer Clan “nyo-geht” The deer is admired for his swiftness, grace and beauty. He is one of the most revered of all the animals. The deer
is so respected, he is the only animal included in the bird clan families. Turtle Clan “haht’ noh-wah” At the time of creation, the great turtle gave permission to build the Earth upon his great shell. The Iroquois people call the Earth “Turtle Island.” Bear Clan “nya-gwi” The bear is revered by both man and animal. Bears are excellent warriors, wise, protective of young, fat and full of humor. Wolf Clan “hoh-tie-yoh-nee” The most intriguing clan, the wolf is feared for his warrior and hunting skills. He is strong and swift. He is admired for his family loyalty and will take one mate for a lifetime. The wolf clan is part of many Native American people. The native wolf clan goes from ocean to ocean. Seneca clanship is strong and was in place before recorded time, not only here but across all of North America. Each Seneca child follows the clanship of their mother and each child is named by the clan mother. An Indian name is never duplicated during a person’s life. The clan mothers also decide which man will be “Chief” and have the power to take the title away. Men have no authority to be “Chief” until the clan mothers appoint them. Next time you are exploring the slopes of Holiday Valley, try finding all eight of the Clan Rocks with your own Clan Hunt.

Warm Up Your Winter: Music by the Fireside Feb. 18
Sick of winter? Looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night? Come join us at Allegany State Park for an evening listening to some great music by fireside! Local musician Jess Chizuk headlines this month’s “By the Fireside” event on. Feb. 18. Chizuk’s compelling, vivid stories from the heart, told emphatically by graceful vocals, are accompanied by little more than an acoustic guitar. These are the building blocks for most of her songs. The young singer-songwriter has her musical roots firmly divided between both old folk tunes and new indie music, and the result of this combination is her truly captivating writing. It has been garnering the attention of audiences in her hometown of Buffalo, NY and beyond. Drawing on life experiences, honest stories, and the city she calls home, her music is soulful and truly genuine. This awardwinning songwriter already has an impressive catalog of accomplishments at only 22 years old. Aside from supporting national artists like Howie Day, Davina and the Vagabonds, and Dylan Jakobsen, Chizuk was the recipient of the Best Original Solo Act award at the

payers and our community on how it all works,” said Ward. “You will see a series of articles that hopefully explain where we are going with the budget once we know where our numbers are.” Ward indicated that school aid will not be overly generous and that a large portion of the budget is allocated for staff raises and health insurance. In addition, Ward said estimates show an increase in a need for transportation funding. “The killer for Ellicottville is the fact that they don’t give us the aid and we have a tax cap that is suffocating our ability to raise revenue,” Ward said. “Hopefully, we are going to help our community understand that better and how it’s playing out for us.” The Board will be meeting again on Tuesday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. for a budget work session to go over figures. Winter Weekend, which included a pep rally on Friday, Feb. 3 and a formal dance on Saturday, Feb. 4, was scarcely attended by students, according to multiple members
of the Board. As a result, Board members discussed scheduling the event for a different weekend next year and in conjunction with a home basketball game. “It’s like having a party and no one comes. You’d like to figure out why they didn’t come,” Ward said, and encouraged Board members to talk to students about feelings on the event. In other business, the Board approved an eighth grade class trip to Washington, D.C. Students will visit the nation’s capital from Monday, June 19 to Wednesday, June 21. “It’s a wonderful thing to take kids like this to a city, and the capital of the country,” said Ward. “It is kind of an end of the year reward. It’s just a great experience.” Ward also highlighted students’ preparation for the school musical, Anything Goes. Performances are scheduled for Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, April 1 at 2 p.m.
During Tuesday’s meeting, the Board also approved the following Spring Sports coaches for the 2016-2017 school year: Chris Mendell, Varsity Baseball; Jason Marsh, Modified Baseball; Matt Finn, Varsity Softball; Dave McCann, JV Softball; Leah Klahn, Modified Softball; Dan LaCroix, Golf; Patricia Waldron, Track. In addition, Robert Sawicki and Steve Grabowski were approved as volunteer baseball coaches. Joe Schultz was appointed to the permanent position of Technical Support Specialist. In addition, Kim Bliss was approved as a substitute cleaner. The board also unanimously voted to enter into agreement with Ward on his final contract at ECS before adjourning into executive session to discuss two separate personnel matters. Due to the school closing for winter break from Feb. 2024, the next ECS school board meeting will not be held until Tuesday, March 7 at 7 p.m. in the high school library.
February 10-16, 2017
What a week of basketball, starting with a very controversial game between St. Bonaventure and VCU that had fans rushing the court, thereby changing the outcome of that game. A questionable administrated technical resulted in sending the game into overtime, a call that reverberated all the way to the court at Ellicottville High School for the start of a much anticipated game Monday night between the boys’ Varsity ECS Eagles and their cross county rivals, the Franklinville Panthers. Before the game got underway, the packed house of very enthusiastic fans were warned to stay off the court at the end of the game to avoid any possible game changing outcomes. The top billing was briefly overshadowed by a very exciting JV contest, also from the same schools, that saw a very close game going into not one, but two 4-minute overtime periods, with the JV Eagles finally coming out on top. Like any great warm up act, the stage was set and the fans pumped up, ready to rumble (in their seats as requested) as the main event got underway As a bonus, the fans were also treated to an amazing and
powerful rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by ECS middle school student Callie Rounds that made Luke Bryan’s Super Bowl performance pale in comparison! With the football season over and the combined Ellicottville/ Franklinville team disbanded, the Titans returned to their prospective schools to compete on the hard court as the Eagles and the Panthers. Not only were the Titans literally about to clash against each other but the two best players in Class D Section VI basketball were about to do battle as well— Bowen versus Erickson. The earlier match-up back on Jan. 4 between these two excellent teams saw the Eagles coming out ahead 53-52. This Monday night’s rematch promised to be a close one as well. The Eagles came out on fire, easily scoring the first nine points before the Panthers finally got on the board with 4:54 left in the first quarter. Ellicottville looked to be in control the entire game, allowing Franklinville occasionally back into the lead, briefly once in the second quarter 15-14 and then again mid-way through the third quarter, 34-33. It wasn’t until with 6:30 minutes left in the
fourth and final quarter, that the Panthers clawed their way into the lead for good winning, 64-55. The game strategy for each team was to stop Bowen and Erickson and both accomplished just that. Both players, who averaged 20 points per game and almost as many rebounds, were closely guarded and doubled teamed the entire game. Bowen managed only 11 points and 10 rebounds, while Erickson did a little better with 16 points, six of which came from the 3-point arc at key times in the game. He also added 10 rebounds for his team. The real story was the players that just this past fall were teammates on the grid iron, now faced off against each other on the hardwood. Austin Grinols, Griffin Chudy, Brock Blecha, along with Sam Erickson, helped take the Ellicottville Franklinville Titans to the Section VI football championships. For the Eagles, Grinols nailed a half dozen or so threes ending up with 19 points. Chudy contributed another 14 points and 10 rebounds. Blecha added 16 points and nine rebounds behind fellow Panther Isaac Kopps’ 17 points and five rebounds. Fueled by the boys’ loss to Franklinville, the ECS girls Varsity team traveled to Franklinville the next night and not only avenged the Monday night boys’ loss, but also avenged their own previous 34-50 loss to the Lady Panthers back on Jan. 12. Marrissa Hamilton and crew took the Haskell sisters and the rest of the Panthers to the final buzzer, pulling out a 62-60 win. The girls’ next home game will be this Friday night, Feb.10 against Catt/Little Valley, while the boys will play Forestville on Feb. 13 at home.

Wedding Trends Continued from front page
wedding trends and how you can incorporate what you like (and avoid what you don’t!) at any one of Ellicottville’s beautiful wedding venues. Katelyn Mueller, Certified Wedding and Event Planner at Holiday Valley Resort, explained that September and October are two of the most popular months to get married at the resort, especially because of the beautiful fall foliage on the slopes. However, for 2017 she noted, “Spring weddings, beginning at the end of April and into May and June, are also popular. A big trend currently is greenery with hints of bright spring flowers, so April through June works perfectly for that color scheme!” For 2017, Pantone Color Institute named “greenery” as the Color of the Year, and it’s showing up in all kinds of wedding themes, regardless of season. According to executive director of Pantone, Leatrice Eiseman, greenery represents “the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.” Indeed, this color is showing up in floral arrangements, table linens, and even bridesmaid dresses in 2017. Incorporating greenery in wedding cake design is another
popular look for 2017, and the look can be tailored to suit the time of year that the wedding is taking place. Dina DiPasquale of Dina’s at the Mont caters weddings at HoliMont, where she loves to make the couple’s wedding cake a perfect expression of their personality and vision for the wedding. Like last year, cake design in 2017 is leaning toward the simpler end of the spectrum with tasteful (and tasty!) touches that complement the theme of the wedding, such as fresh flowers or in-season fruits. Thinking of how you want to capture your special day? A great photographer is sure to highlight every moment— although you may want to let your guests take part in the photography, too! Ready Image Photo, Holiday Valley’s on-site photography service, offers a variety of wedding packages and photography solutions including digital imagery, onsite printing, and even custom photo products for you to remember you wedding day for years to come. To book Ready Image, email holidayvalley@ readyimagephoto.com. According to ‘The Knot,’ an online wedding planning service, it’s all about capturing
a fun moment. For a unique perspective of your wedding, create your own wedding hashtags for guests to upload their photos of your wedding on Instagram. Photo booth rentals are increasingly popular, and this is just one of the services that photographers Jenn and Ben Ayres offer when they shoot a wedding. The Ayres, who enjoy shooting weddings at HoliMont, take special care to capture your big day in a way that is unique to you. In Jenn Ayres’ words, “Our style could best be described as part photojournalism, part ‘fine art,’ and part ‘lifestyle’ photography. We like to keep things as natural and relaxed as possible, and use our cameras to capture the emotions and true essence of whoever’s in front of our lens!” Visit www. ayresphoto.com to learn more about Jenn and Ben’s unique style and to book them for your wedding day. According to ‘The Knot, ‘today’s bride is in search of a more ethereal look for her bridal gown, as opposed to the traditional princess-style dress. Flowing fabric, floral elements, and off the shoulder looks are all the rage. Mueller said, “In 2017 plan to see lots of lace, floral detail, beaded torsos, plunging necklines and off the shoulder wedding gowns! Metallics are still going strong as an accent color for brides in 2017. Rose gold and copper are the perfect accent color due to their versatility as they can suite a relaxed evening or a blacktie affair. Neutral hues are also proving to be prominent this year especially for the bride that wants a classic yet sophisticated feel.” Whether you’re in love with just a few or all of the latest wedding trends, your big day can be the perfect expression of your unique style and vision! With all of the great services and experience that Ellicottville’s best wedding venues offer, your wedding day is bound to be everything you pictured and so much more.

Health & Fitness Properly Engage Your Core
“Echoes in Death” by by J.D. Robb
As NY Lt. Eve Dallas is driving home, a young woman suddenly stumbles out in front of the car. Eve springs into action and Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it’s too late for her husband Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly calling him “the devil”... While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling, and widely disliked, this is one case where the evidence doesn’t point to the spouse. So Eve and her team must get started on the legwork, interviewing everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a desperate race to answer some crucial questions: What does the devil look like? And where will he show up next? This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,100 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
By now, most of us have heard that we need to “engage the core” for better stability and function. People often interpret “engage” to mean “suck in”…. So they proceed to suck in their belly buttons while exercising. Unfortunately, that is the exact opposite of how you should engage the core as it actually de-stabilizes your core. Think of it this way: when someone’s about to tackle you,
you don’t prepare yourself for impact by putting your feet close together, right? No, you plant them farther apart to create a wider, better base of support. Sucking your stomach in toward your spine is the core equivalent of standing with your feet close together. So, how do you create that wider base of support? When engaging your core for stability, the goal is to create as solid a ring of muscles around your midsection as possible. To achieve that, you have to activate your core muscles slightly outward, stiffening them to create a protective “cylinder” around your abdomen. It’s a crucial component for good function, but it’s also easier said than done for those out of practice. Here are a few ways to get the feel for it: • Use your front six-pack abdominal muscle to “pull up” on the front of your pelvis (not
in), then bear down a little in order to push your abdomen out in all directions. • Try using a quick, forceful grunt to help you push your mid-section outward as if bracing it for a punch to the gut. Do it repeatedly to really get the feel. • Your core naturally engages as the very first step in coughing or laughing. So another way to get the feel for how to correctly activate your core is by initiating one of those actions–you’re looking for that abdominal activation that takes place just before any cough or laugh actually occurs. • Or rest your hands on either side of your abdomen and try to push them away using only your abdominal muscles. It’s a little tricky at first but soon becomes second nature. I promise, you won’t have to walk around with your hands against your abdomen forever!

Lisa wrote most of the book last spring/summer. “It was a 2-year project, as all of the photos and most of the illustrations are new,” she noted. Ski Faster! takes readers through just what it says: how to ski faster in easy step-bystep instructions. Chapter 1 begins with “how to carve a turn” and breaks it down into the basic concepts of how far to keep your feet apart, where your shins should be positioned, ankle movement, where your body and pressure should be, how to steer your skis, where to shift your weight and pole position coming out of a turn. Each “concept” is explained in detail, with drills to develop each one. Text throughout the book is complemented with “Inside Lines,” in which Lisa answers frequently asked questions or addresses common language used by coaches. She uses photos of each step to illustrate exactly what she refers to in each chapter—as a visual person, I found these photos, as well as detailed illustrations, very helpful in understanding each concept. I look forward to taking what I’ve learned from this book and applying it to my time on the slopes this weekend. As much as this is a book about learning to ski faster, it’s also a book about being smarter about the sport in general. I am no professional, and I appreciated Chapter 3, “Understanding Skis,” where she explains everything from ski basics, commonly used terms, ski lengths, ski racing trends, history and more. The glossary at the end also serves as a great fingertip resource. Lisa also includes a chapter on selecting the right equipment, as well as breaking down the four main dsciplines in ski racing: giant slalom,

slalom, super G and downhill. Throughout the book, technical writing is offset by more personal notes of interest. In each “My Story” column, Lisa details some personal stories of her career, including challenges and how she overcame them. Other book highlights include how to tune and wax skis, physical fitness in the offseason and mental preparation. “First, Ski Faster! is a ski racing primer, A to Z on the ski racing, so it’s for anyone who is involved in ski racing as an athlete, coach, parent, ski club member, etc.” Lisa explained. “Secondly, it’s for anyone who simply wants to understand alpine skiing better and improve their performance on the slopes, whether or not they ever ski in a course. The books contains lots of information on gear, ski technique, drills
and other elements of the sport. I use much of it to teach my ‘Your Turn’ women’s ski clinics, too.” A professional writer since 1991, Lisa’s articles have appeared in hundreds of regional and national magazines and websites. She writes extensively about her outdoor experiences and far flung adventures as well as instructional articles and articles on gear, cooking, plants, wildlife, people and conservation initiatives. “I’ve got two more books coming out this spring, but they have nothing to do with skiing,” Lisa noted. “They are 2nd editions of Hiking the Adirondacks and Best Easy Day Hikes Adirondacks, both Falcon Guides.” All of Lisa’s books can be purchased from Amazon or at www.lisadensmore.com.

Ellicottville Library Offers Six Astronomy Classes These classes will be offered in the Spring of 2017. Descriptions of the six classes are below. They will be led by long time amateur astronomer Bert Probst and each is structured for adults and young adults over the age of 16. There is no charge for any of these classes and attendance is limited to 15. You may attend any or all of these classes. They will meet at the library on Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and advanced registration is required. So, if any class strikes a chord of interest with you call today (716) 699-2842 to register. FANTASTIC PHOTOS FROM FAROUT – March 1 You have no doubt been dazzled by outer space photos from the Hubble Space Telescope as well as many outstanding shots from earth-bound telescopes. These pictures are not only eye candy; they have contributed greatly to our ever expanding knowledge of our universe. In this presentation, we gather shots for the simple enjoyment of viewing unique and dramatic pictures from space, such as unusual features of planets, auroras, solar eclipses, solar prominences, colliding galaxies, the birth and death of stars and features on the moon that you have never seen before. Join us and just relax and enjoy the view. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE NIGHT SKY – March 8 In this class, you will discover what’s up there in the Ellicottville night sky. We’ll cover all sorts of good subjects, some familiar and some not so familiar. These will include the moon, planets, constellations, galaxies, star clusters, meteors, the northern lights and the International Space Station. NAKED EYE OBJECTS IN THE NIGHT SKY – March 22 When you look up at the clear night sky can you make any sense out of the beautiful randomness? Do you see anything you recognize beyond possibly the moon and the Big Dipper? If not, this class is for you. We’ll concentrate on night sky objects that are easily recognized with the greatest optical instruments known to man, your own two amazing eyes. We’ll view slides of these objects as well as a sky chart for each of the four seasons. This will make identifying our selected targets easier. This lecture will help you better enjoy time spent under a clear night sky. METEORS, METEORITES, CRATERS AND COMETS – March 29 Do rocks really fall from the heavens? Do you know the answer? We’ll be talking about “shooting stars” and meteorites. Yes, there are many craters on the moon; however, did you know there are over 170 documented craters here on earth? We’ll learn about four of the better known among these including the famous Meteor Crater in Arizona and the most recent in Tunguska, Siberia. And those beautiful, however infrequent, visitors to our part of the solar system, comets; where do they come from and how are they related to shooting stars, meteorites and craters? We’ll tie all of these together. OUR INSTRUMENTS FOR VIEWING THE NIGHT SKY – April 5 This class is for you if you’ve ever thought about owning a telescope, if you have a telescope that is gathering dust instead of star light or if you’re just plain curious about these magnificent instruments. The three major types of telescopes and the mounts in use today for amateur telescopes will be reviewed. A brief description of the evolution of the telescope will be presented by considering six historic telescopes from Galileo’s original (1609) to the Hubble Space Telescope (launched in 1990). Following the presentation a mini workshop will be held. All telescope subjects will be open for discussion including any problems you may be having with yours. You are encouraged to bring your telescope for display and/or to receive assistance in its use. THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 2017 – April 19 In August of 2017 a total solar eclipse will cross our country from Oregon to South Carolina. This will be the first time since 1979 that any part of the continental US has experienced a total solar eclipse. Viewing a total solar eclipse is a once in a lifetime event that relative few people ever experience. During totality the daytime sky darkens to reveal the solar corona, stars and planets. We will view photographs from previous eclipses as well as objects to observe during this eclipse of 2017. Join this class to understand the geometry of eclipses and the infinite difference between total and partial eclipses. We will also cover safe methods to view solar eclipses. The next total solar eclipse in the US will occur in 2024 and will have a surprise for western New Yorkers.

The Springville Village Board held its regular meeting on Feb. 6. After formalities of opening the meeting, the board of trustees began with a public hearing on chapter 125.5 revisions to Local Law No. 1—relating to the Park and recreation facilities and a public hearing on Chapter 200 revisions. The revisions to 125.5 were more editorial in nature and
included Eaton Park (tennis courts and Spray Park) to the law and set limits on the extension of Rails to Trails as 1.8 mile of the trail through the Village of Springville. It also changes the wording of park closing times “from 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily” to “at the times to be posted at each location as determined by resolution of the Village board.” Continuing with public hearings, the planning board and trustees have been working on regulations and requirements for the everincreasing digital sign craze. Chapter 200 revisions and recommendations to the trustees from the planning board deals with those recommendations. Code enforcement officer Mike Kaleta presented the changes: First, to add definitions of “sign, digital as any
programmable sign capable of displaying or projecting words, symbols, figures or graphic images that can be altered or rearranged by remote or automatic means resulting in nonstationary messages or images…Such signs typically use LED, plasma or LCD or other illumination to produce the characters and graphics of the display.” Second was: “Chapter 200 section 34 that change the code to Permanent Variable Copy Digital Signs: Section A, Are allowed in a CIP district and required by another regulation.” Kaleta pointed out “another regulation” would be an instance like gas stations where they are mandated to display gas prices. In some instances, the changes of price is changed off site or even by satellite

This building housed the Springville Post Office from 1891 to 1909, which then moved to the Waite Building. This is where the Springville Post was when they merged with neighboring post offices in the area. The post office stayed in the Waite Building until it moved to its current home on Franklin Street in 1937.
For all those gentlemen who may have forgotten, Tuesday is Feb. 14 or St. Valentine’s Day. I am sure the flower shops and cards aisle will be busy Monday night. It is nice in this day and age to be able to tweet our Valentine or send an e-card or a video or FaceTime or Skype with our true loves. I am still a little old fashioned and like receiving a card in the mail. Over the years, it was generally the post office that delivered the Valentines in the mail. But that wasn’t always the case according to some local folklore I found in a 1930s newspaper. Burt Spaulding was a Springville resident who lived in the area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. In 1936, he wrote a series of columns on Springville back in the post-Civil War Era. One story he told was of David Gamp, a teen from East Otto, who studied at Griffith Institute in the winter and in the summers worked at a cheese factory in East Otto. On a whim one summer, he decided to write a letter asking for some to correspond with him and stuck it in one of the cheeses.

nature by educating others about the natural world and rehabilitating the sick, injured, and orphaned animals that are an important part of our environment. According to founder and senior rehabilitator
Paul Fehringer, “A love for nature is the only qualification volunteers need.” In 1995, Wild Spirit was first started as a Wildlife Rehabilitation Center that trained volunteers to rehabilitate hundreds of sick and vulnerable animals in Western New York. In addition to training individuals to get their rehabilitation licenses, the organization created several educational programs throughout the region. In 2009, Wild Spirit shifted its focus from animal rehabilitation to education, although the organization does take in some rehab cases each year and trains volunteers in animal rehabilitation.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Julie’s Pizza: A Springville Staple
By Elizabeth Riggs
Maybe it’s the eggplant parmesan. Perhaps it’s the alfredo sauce. Whatever it is, the people of Springville couldn’t be more loyal to community favorite, Julie’s Pizzeria & Restaurant. And Owner Phil Collesano couldn’t be more grateful. “It’s my baby; it’s my pride and joy,” said Collesano of the casual, family restaurant. “We thank our regular customers; without them we couldn’t do what we do in the community.” Julie’s has been serving up delicious Italian dishes for the past 44 years, with a menu ranging from pasta to specialty sandwiches, homemade soups and salads, and of course, pizza to chicken wings. “You can’t beat my mother’s homemade spaghetti sauce,” said Collesano. “It’s a recipe we’ve been using for 40 years. The alfredo and scampi sauces are family recipes.” Not only does the restaurant embrace traditional family
recipes, they have also managed to incorporate new dishes into a vast menu. “We are constantly evolving as any restaurant should,” said Collesano. “We have to stick with the trends, but we also put on seasonal dishes.” These dishes include fall favorites stuffed squash, butternut squash ravioli and pumpkin alfredo sauce. The restaurant has also been known to serve reuben stuffed hot peppers and stromboli in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, and purple and yellow pizza in honor of SGI’s homecoming weekend. No matter the dish, Julie’s puts its signature homemade stamp on everything they serve. But according to Collesano, Julie’s is also known for dishing up something that isn’t listed on the menu: nostalgia. “We get people that have to come back before and after football games, because that’s what they always did,” Collesano said. “I’ve
had people that come in to celebrate anniversaries here because they got engaged at Julie’s.” Amidst such success, the restaurant has also seen its fair share of challenges and obstacles. Julie’s fell victim to both a flood and a fire within a 4-year time span. “We had a flood in 2000— the whole village flooded and we lost everything in the basement,” said Collesano. “In 2003, Julie’s burned to the ground. The only thing left was the brick walls. The town was devastated. I was devastated. It was a complete loss. But we rebuilt.” And it’s a good thing they did, because the people of Springville are counting on Julie’s as their go-to restaurant for a reasonably-priced, homemade family meal.

Letter from the Editor
Volunteering is a big part of my life. Over the years, my children and I have worked at local nature preserves, sung and made crafts at nursing homes, fostered dogs, helped out at special events, and worked with organizations such as Camp Good Days, WNY Shares, Women and Children’s Hospital, Empire Animal Rescue Society, Buffalo Audubon and too many more to list. Every week, my husband and I spend hours of our time coaching soccer. My 13-year-old daughter and two of her friends spend a few hours every week as volunteer soccer refs. This weekend, my kids and I will be making Valentines for a local Meals on Wheels chapter to send out with their meals. Most of the time, our volunteer activities involve getting together with friends and making an afternoon or evening of it. Some things have even involved overnights and campouts. I can honestly say that every one of our volunteer activities is
rewarding, fun and memorable. The Springville Times is proud to regularly feature various local non-profits, many of which are always looking for volunteers. This week, check out the article about Wild Spirit Education on page 1. Volunteering is something that anyone can do. My girls were participating in many of these activities by the time they were in kindergarten. It doesn’t have to take a ton of time—it just takes heart and effort. With so many unique ways to give back in our community, why not get involved? If you need any ideas on where and how to help, send me an email at info@springvilletimes. com. I have lots of suggestions! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

competition they are prepping for is in February. If their team does well, the students may go to states, which requires continued preparation until March. Eunice Reinhold, a biology teacher at SGI High School, has been a Science Olympiad coach for 32 years. She mainly helps the students with biological events, write it – do it, and experimental design. She mentioned that this opportunity helps students prepare for the future. “They’re preparing for college,” she said. “Some of them want to be doctors and nurses, so they do anatomy and physiology. Some want to go into robotics, so they build the robot arm.” There are currently 37 students on the team and Reinhold encourages more students to join. “It will challenge your brain,” she explained. “You will learn teamwork and perhaps even show interest in what college you want to go to.” Elaborating on how Science Olympiad promotes teamwork, Reinhold noted, “There are two-person teams and they have to work together and practice together. Everything is a team.” Amy Stabell is a tenth grader participating on the high school team for the first time this year. However, she also participated in eighth grade and assisted the middle school team as a freshman. Academically, she said that Science Olympiad helps with the learning process.

Varsity Girls Basketball, Coach Bob Gainey The Varsity girls basketball team returned to their winning ways last week with a resounding 50-33 win over the Lackawanna Steelers. The girls started off a little slow to begin the game, but carried a 9-point lead into halftime. The girls came out of the break putting up 23 points in the third quarter and cruised the rest of the way to the win. Leading the team in scoring was Ivette Lewandowski with 18 points. Ivette did a great job getting to the basket and converting seven of her 10 foul shots. Sydney Rosati chipped in 11 points to go along with some outstanding defense. Julia Krzemien poured in eight points and came up with a number of steals to help lead the fast break. Other scorers on the night included Lexi Sopko (4 points), Ryan Stedman (3 points), and Maddie Pazzuti, Leah Frank and Carrie Dickinson each scored two points to help the cause. The offense was impressive thanks to the girls’ unselfish play and passing up jump shots for layups. Beyond that though, the individual hustle from Lexi Sopko helped set the tone to get the girls a big lead in the second half. Indoor Track, Coach Joseph Marvin The Griffins indoor track team competed in the Team championship meet this past weekend at Houghton College. Outstanding performances were had by many and the girls team was able to take 3rd place overall in class C. Taking first place and breaking her own school record was Corrin Sacilowski in the 1500 meter racewalk. Elle Russell took 1st place in the 3000 and Sonya Krezmien took 3rd in the 1500. Both girls ran season best times. Payton Rowe took 3rd in the hurdles, Lizzy Miranda took 4th in the 1000, Marykate Beyer took 3rd in the weight throw and Allison Lavanture took 4th in the triple jump. For the boys, Topher Elkins took 2nd in the 300 and Jeremy Baker took 4th in the long jump. Complete results: 55 hurdles – Payton Rowe, 3rd place, 9.92, personal best time. 55 meter dash – Nicole Sacilowski, 8.55 personal best; Nick Abdo, 7.15, personal best; Jeremey Baker, 7.18 personal best 3000 Elle Russell – 1st place, 11:11.12 1000 – Lizzy Miranda – 4th, 3:21.17, personal best; Tim Blesy, 3:50, personal best 1500 RW – Corrin Sacilowski , 1st place, new school record, broke her own 7:38.7 300 – Jocelyn Jenis, 50.7, personal record; Evelyn Smith, 47.4, personal record; Topher Elkins, 2nd, 37.65 600 – Miya Domes, 2:14; Casey Waterman, 2:01, personal best 1500–3rd place, 5:10.51, Sonya Krezmien 1600– Zach Peterman, 5:18 Triple Jump –4th, Allison Lavanture, 30’9.5” Weight throw– 3rd place, 28’7” Long Jump– 3rd place, Jeremey Baker, 17’10 Modified Girls Basketball, Coach Kim Pazzuti Last Wednesday was a big night for SGI girls basketball—Varsity, JV, and our very own modified girls brought home the wins. Meghan Rehrauer was our high scorer with 10 points, Sarah O’Neal, Avery Boyles, Autumn Woodruff, and Marie Emerling each added two points. We took the lead very early and hung on till the end. Great defensive play by Kaitlyn Mesch, Hannah Carrow, Lily Vanuga, Kelsey Folts, and Jamie Dickinson.

Springville was able to finish 6th out of 14 competing schools, with only 6 athletes having qualified to attend the meet. Participating in the weekend’s competition were seniors Nolan West and Kurt Uschold, junior Dominic Hartenstein, sophomore Jon Boberg, freshman Wyatt Fuller, and 8th Grader Eric Schweickert. Unfortunately Elliot Emley and Zach Hughey were unable to compete as both had fallen ill leading up to the meet and hadn’t recovered. Friday night saw boys 1m diving take place at Maryvale High School. In his first competition, Fuller was able to place 4th in Class C with a score of 316.65. Fuller looks to better his score next week at the Section 6 Championships. Saturday was the day for the swimming events, hosted at Newfane High School. The first event for the team was the 200 Medley Relay. The relay team, comprised of Hartenstein, Boberg, Uschold and West, was able to take almost a second off their previous best time, and finish in 5th place overall. The tone set in that opening relay of going fast, and competing with the best swimmers carried over for everyone throughout the meet. Along with the Medley Relay, West was also able to take 2nd places in both the 50 and 100 Freestyle, while also adding to the 4th place finishing 200 Freestyle. West is consistently knocking on the door of a state qualifying time, and is hoping to achieve it at Sectionals. Uschold, along with the Medley Relay and Freestyle Relay, was able to add top 4 finishes as he took 4th place in the 200 freestyle with a Sectional Qualifying time, and also a 3rd place finish in the 500 free. Uschold has now dropped 24 seconds in the past two competitions for his 500 Freestyle to earn him a spot at Sectionals for the event and better seeding. Boberg not only contributed to the two relays, but also came in 6th place in the 200 IM while dropping 4 seconds off his previous best time. Boberg also was able to finish 12th in the 100 Breaststroke. Hartenstein was also able to find individual success outside of the two relays as well. Hartensteinwas able to place 8th in the 100 Backstroke after initially being seeded in 10th place. Hartenstein also swam in the 50 yard freestyle as well. Schweickert only had one event to swim but made sure to do give it everything he had. In the 100 Backstroke, he was able to place 16th and achieve a personal best time in the event as well.
“We’re starting to learn about gases in Honors Chemistry and I’m already studying gases for my event, so I have a lot of background knowledge on what we’re learning in class now. It’s a lot easier.” For each event, there is a different method of preparation. Stabell educated herself on wind power, ecology, and chemistry lab this year. When asked, she descriptively compared her preparation in each different event. “Ecology is studying and you take a long test on it. For wind power, you have to study for a test on the physics of wind power and energy and you build a windmill and take it to the competition to see how much energy you can generate.” Lastly, she explained, “Chemistry lab is an event where you do a lab
with your partner and answer questions about gases and thermodynamics.” Although Science Olympiad is a very demanding involvement, there are many positives included in the experience. “You can learn a lot,” Stabell said. “It’s fun, too. It’s a good way to spend your time.”
She enjoys participating because of the difficulty. “It’s a challenge. You get to learn things nobody ever really taught you before. There’s everything. It’s crazy.” She recommends this club to other students, saying, “It’s a lot to do. It takes up a lot of time, but it’s really fun.”

SGI Wrestling Heads to Div. II Championships
On Saturday, Feb. 4, seven Griffin wrestlers competed in the Class B wrestling Championships at Cheektowaga Central. Ian Baker and Mikey Evans took first place in their respective weight classes. Ian Baker beat his opponent from Olean in the finals 15-0, earning a tech fall win. “Ian placed 2nd last year in the Section for small schools and is preparing to wrestle his best tournament yet,” explained Head Coach Mark Vogel. “A win this weekend would send him on to the state tournament. Competition will be tough for all of the wrestlers this weekend and Coach Evans and I are stressing the importance of preparation and smart wrestling.” Jared Hecht earned a 4th place finish, wrestling strong and finishing 3-2 on the day (two of those wins came by pin). “Jared Hecht and Mikey Evans have been challenging each other in practice and the efforts are paying off,” said Vogel. “Mikey is the third seed going into this weekend, and he hopes to carry his momentum from the class championships into the tournament. Jared has improved tremendously over the course of the season and has devoted himself to getting better.” Matt Evans also placed 4th, going 2-2.
Benn Smith, Shilo Rogers and Sean Saramak also wrestled this week, but did not place to move on to Sectionals. “Benn Smith pushed through a lingering injury to wrestle at the class championships, but came up short in his bid to qualify for the Division II championships,” Vogel noted. “He worked hard to stay in shape and wrestled tough in arguably the toughest weight class in Section VI.” Vogel added that, “The athletes have turned up the
intensity in the wrestling room in preparation for the postseason. We’ll continue to push them this week and prepare them to accomplish the goals they’ve set for themselves.” The athletes punched their ticket to the Division II championships this coming Saturday at Salamanca for a chance to go on to the State tournament. Great job gentlemen and best of luck this weekend!

Pending approval of the New York State Budget, the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School district is anticipating operating a Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program for the 20172018 school year. S-GI will continue to serve students for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 180 days on the traditional SGI school calendar. We continue to proudly partner with the Early Bird Child Care Centers. The primary purpose of our UPK program is to provide four-year-old children with the opportunity to access highquality programs that prepare them for future school success through the development of strong foundational skills in early literacy and mathematics. Science and social studies themes are also explored. Our goal is to encourage and support student learning using a student-centered approach utilizing strong instructional content that is tied directly to the New York State Common Core Pre-K Standards. According to Mrs. Townsend, coordinator of the Universal Pre-K Program, “We are very excited about providing this service to our Springville Pre-Kindergarten children. We have worked
September 2017. Therefore, if more than 60 applications are received, students not selected in the lottery process will be added to a waiting list should a slot open during the course of the school year. Whether or not a child receives morning or afternoon UPK services is determined by the child’s position in the lottery draw. Families with multiples (twins, triplets) will be drawn as one during the lottery in an effort to keep families together. If you are interested in your child attending a UPK program for the 2017-2018 school year, a survey application is available on the district website at www.springvillegi.org under the Academics and Universal Pre-K link.

Warm Up Your Winter: Music by the Fireside Feb. 18
Sick of winter? Looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night? Come join us at Allegany State Park for an evening listening to some great music by fireside! Local musician Jess Chizuk headlines this month’s “By the Fireside” event on. Feb. 18. Chizuk’s compelling, vivid stories from the heart, told emphatically by graceful vocals, are accompanied by little more than an acoustic guitar. These are the building blocks for most of her songs. The young singer-songwriter has her musical roots firmly divided between both old folk tunes and new indie music, and the result of this combination is her truly captivating writing. It has been garnering the attention of audiences in her hometown of Buffalo, NY and beyond. Drawing on life experiences, honest stories, and the city she calls home, her music is soulful and truly genuine. This awardwinning songwriter already has an impressive catalog of accomplishments at only 22 years old.
Aside from supporting national artists like Howie Day, Davina and the Vagabonds, and Dylan Jakobsen, Chizuk was the recipient of the Best Original Solo Act award at the 2015 Buffalo Music Awards, the winner of the 2014 Yellen Foundation Songwriting Contest, winner of the Folk category at the Smoky Mountain Songwriting Festival Songwriting Contest, a semifinalist in the 2015 Songwriter’s Serenade Contest in Morovia, TX, and a top five finalist in the singer/songwriter category
of the Great American Song Contest – a contest receiving submissions from nearly 2,000 songwriters worldwide. Chizuk is guaranteed to put on a performance the whole family will enjoy! This free “By the Fireside” event takes place on Saturday, Feb. 18 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Red House Administration Building lobby. For more information please contact the Environmental Education/ Recreation Department at (716) 354-9101 ext. 236.
The Historical Society provides a broad array of events that bring cultural enrichment to our community. These valuable services; however, take a great deal of time and effort and can only continue to survive with the generous support of those willing to donate their time or money. As such we appeal to local businesses and citizens to consider making a charitable donation or volunteer your time
for one of our 2017 fundraising events. Our preference is of course, active members, but having realized that people are more likely to simply volunteer on a regular basis, our liability coverage is tailored to fit such needs. This year’s events include; our Mother’s Day Craft Fair (May 6), Car show & Picnic (July 22), Trash & Treasure event (date TBD),
our Halloween Party (Oct. 29) and our Thanksgiving Dessert Sale (Nov. 21). All funds raised are filtered back into the community in terms of additional events and upcoming educational programs.

Collins Regional Hist. Society’s Appeal for Volunteerism
Wild Spirit
Fehringer, the New York State DEC reports a great need for rehabilitators in Cattaraugus County right now; volunteering with Wild Spirit is the perfect way to get involved! Wild Spirit teaches educational programs throughout the region, including the Buffalo area, Cattaraugus County, Chautauqua County, and even as far away as the Finger Lakes region and northern Pennsylvania. Each year, Wild Spirit performs hundreds of programs in schools, home school groups, eldercare facilities, and public venues. Fehringer explained that right now, Wild Spirit hosts programs in five different eldercare facilities at least once a month, and is heavily involved in local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops: “Almost monthly, we do merit badge activities with Scouts.” Those who attend Wild Spirit’s educational programs get an unforgettable experience of the importance of wildlife preservation and rehabilitation. Programs and activities include nature walks, insect displays, and birds of prey, which brings seven live birds that have been rehabilitated into the classroom. Fehringer said, “Hands on education teaches much better than lecturing. It means so much more to go on a nature hike and get dirty!” Thanks to Wild Spirit’s dedicated staff and volunteers, these programs are able to continue and expand. Volunteers are needed to become environmental educators for Wild Spirit’s programs, and training is provided at the Wild Spirit

facility in Delevan. Those who would rather work in a “behind the scenes” capacity can get involved at the facility by doing research, clerical work, data entry, and cage maintenance. Currently, Wild Spirit is looking for a volunteer coordinator for the citizen science projects that Wild Spirit is involved in. Citizen science projects include Frogwatch USA, a program that promotes local wetlands and amphibian conservation by encouraging individuals and families to report the calls of local frogs and toads. Similarly, the Nestwatch citizen science program monitors nests at the Wild Spirit property and throughout the neighborhood. Currently, Wild Spirit is involved in a new citizen science project that monitors caterpillars in the area and how their numbers affect the food source for local birds. Wild Spirit is the first group in Western New York to participate in this national program. Fehringer explained that anyone over the age of 16
is welcome to volunteer in whatever capacity they’d like. “Even if you don’t know a lot about nature, we can teach you,” said Fehringer. Volunteers receive lots of training at the Wild Spirit facility in Delevan, including extended training for those who would like to work with the birds of prey or learn how to rehabilitate wild animals. Those interested in volunteering can visit www. wildspirit.org and fill out the volunteer inquiry form, where they can indicate their areas of interest, amount of time available each month, and relevant experience. Interested volunteers can also contact Renee Flierl, volunteer coordinator, at renee@ wildspirit.org or call Paul Fehringer at (716)531-1428. To learn more about Wild Spirit, including their educational programs, citizen science projects, and upcoming events, visit www.wildspirit. org and check out their Facebook page, Wild Spirit Education.

controls. “Section B, Shall be co-located on the freestanding business sign. May be only free standing sign when no free standing business sign exists. Section C, Maximum size of 32 square feet. Unless restricted by another section of Chapter 200. Section D, Height and location requirements must meet requirements set forth in 200-31 and 200-32. Section E, Advertising of business or uses that are not located on that property is prohibited. Section F, No sign or part thereof or its lighting or design shall create a traffic hazard or a nuisance or be unreasonably detrimental to adjoining or neighboring properties.” Kaleta gave an example of signs that may have blinking red dots near a traffic light as something that could distract motorists and therefore create a hazard. Section G, Only one sign shall only be allowed per developed property. Kaleta also noted that only a regular permit would be needed for digital signs and could also be included in the site plan. Also as part of the revisions was to add to Chapter 200 section 35 Portable, Moveable and Temporary signs to add Part 14 Type N, feather and flag type signs: (a) Sign Area: Maximum 8’ tall and 2.5’ wide flag area with a maximum height being 12’, (b) Quantity: one per business, (c) Duration: during business hours, (d)Zoning: Allowed on all nonresidential properties in all districts, (e)Location: Must remain outside of the right of way of the street on the property the business is located. Exception B1 district may be allowed between the curd and the sidewalk. All must not interfere with pedestrian or vehicular traffic. Trustee Alan Chamberlain raised the question about the use of Boys Scouts flag holders being used for such signs. It was agreed that since the business owners already pay for the holders, it was between the Scouts and the business owners. Mayor Krebs furthered by saying that it would be a different situation if the business owners damaged sidewalks or other public property. The last part of this recommendation hearing was to add language to “Chapter 200 Section 8 Part 1 Retail Overlay district, Section C, Permitted uses (1) to read as follows; (1) Dwelling units within nonresidential buildings. Provided that the total number of dwellings shall not exceed that which is permitted the applicable underlying district.” After the hearings on the proposed recommendations, the meeting to move to public comment, to which there was none and then to department reports.
Village Administrator Liz Melock asked the trustees to approve the scheduling of the public hearing on an override tax cap for next Village Board meeting on Feb. 21, 2017. The override would raise the tax 1.0023 percent to help with debt burdens related to various projects costs. The board motioned and approved the scheduling of that public hearing as well as the 2017/2018 Village of Springville budget to be on Monday, March 6, 2017. Melcok also asked the board to approved both Local Law Chapter 125.5 and Local Law Chapter 200 Digital signs the motion was made and passed. Melock reminded the board of the Solar Power meeting with the Town of Concord on Feb. 7, 2017. She then reported on the bid that came in on the demolition costs for 110 South Central Avenue. Of eight bids, the lowest came in at $23,805, with the highest being $33,610. The lowest bid came from Metro Contracting and Melock noted they had the necessary asbestos certifications needed for the work. Their bid included demolition, removal, top soil and reseeding. Kaleta reminded the board that the house had been in ill repair for more than five years and the engineering report determined the structure “not to survive another winter.” The board motioned and approved the bid. Ken Kostowniak gave the Superintendent’s reports. He first reported on the bathroom bid for the Heritage Park. Of 10 packages sent out, only one came back from Lakeland Construction Products of Lima, NY. The bid was for $37,800, close to what he had expected the amount to be. The prefabricated bathrooms will have two bathrooms and a locked storeroom in the front. The bathrooms are guaranteed to last many years and will have time controlled doors to limit vandalism and vagrancy. The board approved the bid. Kostowniak also asked the board to allow for the selling, recycling or other means of surplus and retired goods for the DPW. Trustee Terry Skelton asked if anything would “come back to bite us.” Kostowniak said that the items were out dated and were taking up a lot of space; he assured that items would not. The board approved the removal of surplus goods. He then asked the board that after the state audit it was noticed that we use only one style of decorative light pole in the village and it is manufactured by only one company, King Luminaire. He asked that this item be removed from the bidding process and the King Luminaire would be the “got-to-go” to vendor for our light poles. The board approved this with concerns that if price all of sudden become unreasonably inflated, that the village would look to other avenues for light poles.
He then gave a report on 65 Franklin Street; there still are no trucks and he is hopeful that this could happen this month. Related to that, the village will be compensated for fire truck rental by the contractor and asked that the village pay MKS plumbing an additional $440.00 for minor plumbing including a 2-inch waterline and the relocation of other waterlines in the fire bays. The board approved his request. Officer-in-Charge Nick Budney gave the police department report, asking that the village pass a resolution for the Springville Police Dept. to use Language Line, a translation service offered by AT&T. It charges $0.75 a minute for use. Currently, the SPD has no service and in emergency has had to use the Erie County Sheriff Office. This service would only cost what is used as opposed to other service that can cost upwards of $60 an hour. The SPD has had incidents were a translator was needed and it’s important when Mirandizing suspects. Budney also reported that his department responded to 150 calls, served 44 summons and made one arrest, and that the Erie County Sheriff’s office responded to 428 calls. Budney has also been meeting with the Erie County Sheriff’s Office about contract negotiations. Mayor Krebs asked that the board approve the Control Center Minutes of Jan. 9, 2017. He noted that the control center has had an increase in calls by 50 percent, due to the efficiency of the center and to the working with Mercy Flight. He also advised that the Administration Board asked that they meet once every other month as opposed to the current once a month meeting. The regular meeting closed with Mayor Krebs asking the board to approve the Community Development Committee (CDC). As suggested in the Springville Comprehensive Plan of 2014, the CDC will facilitate resident input in implementing and prioritizing the goals and projects of the Village of Springville. The CDC would be composed of the mayor, a trustee and three community members. The committee is advisory and would have subcommittees to address certain projects. The committee would meet at least twice a year (in May and December) with subcommittees meeting at different times. The board approved the creation of the CDC. Due to the President’s Day holiday, the next meeting has been moved to Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 65 Franklin Street. This includes the public hearing on the tax override. The public hearing on the 2017/2018 budget is Monday, March 6, 2017 at 7 p.m. at 65 Franklin Street.

In those days, New York State cheese was considered the best in the world and was largely marketed in England. Not realizing this, David was overwhelmed when he received a letter from a lady in London who thought that America was a fine country. The lady went on to describe how she also thought about moving here. One day, there was a knock on the study room door at old Griffith Institute and a young lady from London stood there looking for David Gamp. Mr. Spaulding recalls that it took several days for David to convince this young lady that he was not in the marrying mood. She eventually left. However, for many years, David would be teased about his love in a bottle. I was surprised to hear that he was using a bottle to seek correspondence. By the time Mr. Gamp was going to Griffith Institute in the 1880s, mail service was fairly well established, though it was completely different than today: The first settlers to the area relied on each other to send messages back east. Hopefully the letters and parcels reached their destinations. Eventually a rough and unreliable mail route came from Pike down Genesee Road to Townsend Hill. Before the War of 1812, only two post offices existed in this area—one in Buffalo and the other in Clarence. At one point, early pioneers hired William Earl to go to Buffalo on a regular basis to deliver and pick up settlers’ mail and it worked. In 1820, Springville saw a postal revolution when a mail route was established between Buffalo and Olean with three other stops in Erie County: Hamburg, Boston and Springville. Rufus Eaton was the first postmaster and it’s to him we have to thank for the name Springville. Prior to that, it was generally known to those outside of the area as Fiddler’s Green or simply “The Green.” The postmaster had the authority to name the post office. Soon, other post offices were established in the town. There was one at Concord Center (Townsend Hill), East Concord, West Concord and Morton’s Corners. I said postmasters had the authority to name the
post office— Mr. Morton was the postmaster at Morton’s Corners. Eventually, West Concord became Woodward’s Hollow when Mr. Woodward was the postmaster; however, when the next postmaster came to town, he invested heavily in the new breed of Wyandotte chickens being produced there. He wanted to change the name to Wyandotte but it was already taken, so it became the Wyandale post office. In the early days of the post office in Springville, the job was a political appointment. With the change of the United States President, the postmaster could change and also the name of the post office. What’s really important is that even though mail was delivered to your area, you still had to go to the post office and pick the mail up. It was a chore to either walk or hook up the team to go to get the mail. Home delivery of mail only existed in cities over 10,000 people. Springville didn’t even have street signs or house numbers until 1886. This all changed in 1902 when the rural free delivery (RFD) became a standard. For the first time, people in rural areas had the ability to receive mail on a daily basis. In our area, the post offices in Wyandale, Morton’s Corners, Zoar Valley and a few in Ashford merged with Springville and received rural delivery. At one point, the RFD almost bankrupted the postal service. Interestingly enough, it was RFD that saved itself: the postcard. With RFD, postcards could be sent for three cents on a regular basis, sometimes twice a day, between friends and relatives in nearby towns. It was a communication explosion for people in rural areas. The profits from the postcards and Valentines kept RFD financial viable. Today, the postal service in our area is pretty much the same; however, it has major competition from email, Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets. So just remember Tuesday, even if you decide to send your love in a bottle. I, like Charlie Brown, still look for my Valentine in my mailbox to this day.

Red House Dam Renovation Project
A comprehensive rehabilitation project of the Red House Dam will commence during the summer of 2017. The project will require a partial draw down of Red House Lake, which may occur as early as July 5, depending on the contractor’s work schedule. Partial draw down of Red House Lake will impact swimming, boating and other recreational activities on the lake. The bridge and roadway over the dam will also be closed to traffic once the project ramps up. The Quaker Lake swimming area and concession operations will be expanded to
accommodate park patrons. We thank you for your patience while these important safety and recreation improvements are being made. Check Allegany State Park Facebook page for more detailed information as the project develops.
