Sky High Opens May 5
By Alicia Dziak
If you’re one of many anxiously awaiting to swing from the branches and zip through the treetops of Ellicottville, your wait is over! Holiday Valley’s Sky High Adventure Park opens May 5. Sky High is made up of three components: the Aerial Park, the Climbing Forest and the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster. While the coaster doesn’t open for the season until May 19, the other two attractions are ready to enjoy now! The Aerial Park, the largest of its kind in New York State and third largest in the U.S., combines a series of platforms and bridges built in a 4-acre section of the woods near the resort’s Tannenbaum Lodge. There are 13 courses with varying levels of difficulty and the more difficult the course, the higher up it is in the trees. There are three easiest yellow courses (Sunflower, Sunshine and Snapdragon), five easier greens (Forest Run, Mountain Trail, Grand Rapids I and Grand Rapids II and Fern Gully), two intermediate blues (Waterfall and Rip Tide), two difficult single black diamonds (Black Storm and Black Widow) and one most difficult double black, The Commando. All courses except Commando have at least one zip line and some have several. The Aerial Park includes 142 platforms, 170 elements and 43 ziplines, with the tallest platform at 68 feet and the longest zip line measuring 350 feet. Everyone wears a harness with a special locking lanyard that safeguards you from falling if you slip or let go.

Special Mtg. Set for Year-End Budget Adjustments, Code of Ethics Review Evans Agency Account Executive Randy Glenn presented the Village of Ellicottville’s board with a proposal for municipal insurance coverage for the 2017-2018 fiscal year, which begins June 1. Three companies provided quotes for the Village policy. One was eliminated immediately for expense reasons.Glenn recommended that the Village choose NYMIR over its current insurer, Trident. NYMIR, he explained, is a member-owned company that specializes in municipalities. It holds policies for some 800 towns and villages in New York. The policy will provide blanket building and contents coverage, general liability insurance, inland marine coverage for equipment (owned and leased), public officials’ liability insurance, crime coverage, business automobile insurance and umbrella coverage. The NYMIR policy, unlike Trident, also provides coverage for See Village Board page 4

Magazine in 2009 for one of the best redesigns in the country. The course offers a blend of both hilly and flat terrain, with a front nine built around ponds and bunkers, and the back nine laid out around the lower ski slopes, which brings into play many elevation changes. According to Golf Pro Steve Carney, one of 220 PGA Master Golf Professionals in the United States, this season the course is continuing a project to rebuild six to 10 new bunkers, and to speed up and make the greens more true. “It’s a challenging course for all abilities because we have four sets of tees and lots of sod bunkers. You pick the tees that best challenge you,” Carney said. “Holiday Valley is one of the most beautiful, and challenging, and quaint little places that there is.” Max 18-Hole Yards: 6493 Ratings/Slope: 72.2/126, 69.4/120, 66.2/113, 68.8/118 Elkdale Country Club 4683 Route 353 Salamanca, NY 14779 Phone: 716-9455553 www.elkdalecc.com Elkdale is an 18-hole semiprivate course, with pars of 70 and 74.

earthquake and flood damage and for cyber/data liability, and offered double the coverage for aggregate umbrella and public officials liability. The NYMIR quote totaled $25,766.75, which was $1,260 more than the Trident quote. The board agreed that the value of the expanded coverage was worth the expense and approved the NYMIR quote. During the regular board meeting, Mayor John Burrell reported that a water leak discovered and repaired by Fitzpatrick & Weller has reduced village water production by 30 percent. He also reported that the village will receive a 25 percent upfront discount on state insurance fund renewal, along with a dividend of $9,644. Burrell said he took part in a webinar on “Inter-fund Loans” and will attend a Cattaraugus County Municipal Officials Association meeting on May 11. He and several other Village officials will attend the Southern Tier West Local Government Conference at Houghton College on May 10. And, he will attend a countywide Shared Services Initiative meeting on May 4. Burrell recently met with a county representative to discuss Ellicottville’s eligibility to receive a portion of $600,000 in newly approved county grants to improve area baseball fields. He felt confident that the Village will qualify for funding. Village Planner Gary Palumbo briefed the board on upcoming Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) and Village
Planning Board (VPB) actions. The most complicated project from a procedural perspective, he explained, is the application to renovate 23 Washington Street. The project requires actions from the ZBA, the VPB and the Village Board, as well as from the NYS Department of Transportation and the NY State Historic Preservation Office. Those approvals must come in a very particular order determined, in part, by which entity is designated as the lead agency to conduct the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR). Palumbo recommended and the board approved a resolution designating the VPB as the lead agency. Palumbo is currently preparing a summary of comments/issues for the VPB to address before acting on the SEQR and other issues raised during a public hearing on the project; nine sets of written comments were received and 12 persons spoke at the public hearing. Palumbo said that, because a lawyer representing a business opposed to the project is closely watching the process, he needed some advice from the board. At that point, the board went into executive session with Palumbo and the village attorney. When the regular meeting resumed, the board approved a resolution to obtain outside legal counsel on a short-term basis to assist the VPB with the issue and to authorize the Mayor to sign a contract with the new attorney. Village Engineer Nick Dobmeier reported that he
is working with Stillhouse Brewery’s engineer on its wastewater discharge permit application. Dobmeier has asked for additional information about the design of a required storage tank and a detailed brewing schedule to determine its impact on the Village wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The board also authorized Dobmeier’s engineering firm, Nussbaumer & Clarke, to conduct a hydraulic study on the WWTP’s SAGR System. As reported last month, the Village board must develop and adopt a Code of Ethics Law that holds municipal employees, including board members, to defined ethical standards. Board member Spencer Murray announced that he had drafted a code of ethics document based on the Town of Ellicottville’s existing law for the board’s review. The draft, he said, is essentially the same as the town’s law except for Article VII on the subject of recusal, which Murray drafted himself. The board, which thanked Murray for taking the initiative to draft the document, will review the language and discuss any recommended changes at a special meeting scheduled for May 30 at 6 p.m. at the Town Center. The board also will make final year-end budget modifications during that meeting. A public hearing on the Code of Ethics law was scheduled for the June 12 regular board meeting at the Village/Town Hall at 6 p.m.

The Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning, and Tourism will hold an informational seminar for Municipal Leaders and is open to the public on Thursday, May 11, 2017, at the Cattaraugus County Center, 303 Court Street, Little Valley, NY. The seminar will be held on the third floor in the Legislative Chambers and will begin at 6:30 p.m. The Cattaraugus County Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism Director, Crystal Abers would like to invite Town, Village and City Officials, Planning, and Zoning Board Members, Cattaraugus County Legislators and the public to this seminar. The guest speaker will be Sally Cunningham, Certified
Nursery and Landscape Professional. The topic to be discussed will include how the Transformational Power of Gardening builds communities and changes the image (and reality) of a region. Sally’s talk is designed to encourage dialogue about the potential for applying the power of gardening to our own landscapes, community and region. Transformational Power of Gardening - in many ways gardening is a catalyst for change; it builds communities. When neighbors garden together or improve their front yards new relationships and mutual respect follow. The area becomes safer and real estate values improve. Garden tourism is also powerful as an image changer and economic boon. Evidence comes from Buffalo’s nationally famous
Garden Walk, bringing 70,000 people in to see urban gardens on just one weekend and now a national garden writer conference is coming. Gardening is also crucial in these times of ecological challenges and habitat destruction. What we do in our gardens matters greatly! Gardening is also good for mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health (as long as we do it carefully). Along with being a Certified Nursery and Landscape Professional, Sally Cunningham has been a speaker at many events across the nation; she has been the author or co-author of many books in the last 25 years and is a Horticultural Specialist and Columnist on TV and Radio. We are very pleased to welcome Sally as our Guest Speaker on May 11. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Jean Davis at jkdavis@cattco. org or (716) 938-2387 or you may contact Kate O’Stricker at kmostricker@cattco.org or (716) 938- 2320.
Audubon Mother’s Day Wildflower Walk
Continuing a longstanding tradition, on Sunday afternoon, May 14, naturalist Jack Gulvin will lead the Audubon Community Nature Center’s annual Mother’s Day Wildflower Walk at the Bentley Preserve of the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy. Starting at 2 p.m. at the entrance to Bentley Preserve just north of Jamestown, walkers meander through the woods in search of spring wildflowers. The hike features all the spring flowers, from the white Black Cohosh to Stinking Benjamin, another name for Red Trillium. The two-hour Mother’s Day event is an opportunity to take time to enjoy the beauty of even the smallest and most common of our wildflowers. Learn which are native and which were brought here by Europeans, eager to see a familiar sight from the home country. Also learn about some that tagged along, uninvited. Jack Gulvin is a naturalist at Chautauqua Institution, where he leads nature walks Friday mornings at 9 a.m. during the Chautauqua season. He also oversees the Purple Martin colonies, leading walks the first four Fridays of the season at 4:15 p.m. Anyone interested in the Mother’s Day Wildflower Walk is invited to meet at 2 p.m. at the entrance to the Bentley Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is located at the end
of Bentley Road, off Fluvanna Road (State Route 430) near the Fluvanna Community Church in Greenhurst. Wear mud-proof footwear and dress for the weather. With the wonderful background information Gulvin provides, a pencil and paper are often welcome accessories. Since it is also a great time for birds, consider bringing binoculars. The fee is $8, $6 for Nature Center members and children ages 9-15. Reservations are not required. If you want to pay online, click through Attend a Program/Programs and
Workshops under Plan Your Visit or through the Programs link in the top bar at www. auduboncnc.org, and bring your ticket to the event. If you prefer to pay the day of, exact change is appreciated.

Little Explorers Flower Power May 13 © visitbuffaloniagara.com
“Flower Power” is the theme for Audubon Community Nature Center’s next Little Explorers. You and the three- to eightyear-old child(ren) in your life can learn about flowers and their adaptations at this 10-11:30 a.m. program on Saturday, May 13. The world is filled with flowers in May, so you will hunt for some of them and learn, all while enjoying the outdoors. A brief lesson indoors prepares you for a hike. A snack and,
time allowing, a craft follow the walk. Plants have creative ways to reproduce, the most showy being flowers. You will investigate different flowers and how their shapes, colors, and scents help the parent plant make seeds. Flowers come in a variety of forms, many to attract a pollinator that will help them exchange pollen with another flower to make seeds. Learn about different flower-animal partnerships, how flowers
attract pollinators, and some special features that make them successful. The program runs rain or shine, and going outdoors is the most important part, so plan to come dressed for the weather. The fee is $8 for adults, $6 for Nature Center members and children. Reservations are required by Thursday, May 11, and can be made by calling (716) 569-2345 during business hours or clicking through Attend a Program/ Programs and Workshops under Plan Your Visit or through the Programs link in the top bar at www.auduboncnc.org. Audubon education programs are funded with support from the Carnahan Jackson Foundation, Jessie Smith Darrah Fund, Holmberg Foundation, Hultquist Foundation, and Lenna Foundation. Audubon Community Nature Center is at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, New York, and Warren, Pennsylvania.

Roger Hodgson Comes To Seneca Allegany
© beautifuldaymedia.com
Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino is thrilled to announce that Roger Hodgson, legendary singer-songwriter formerly of Supertramp, will perform at the Seneca Allegany Events Center on Saturday, Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. Don’t miss this incredible show with one of music’s most gifted composers, songwriters and lyricists of our time! Tickets on sale Friday, May 12th at Noon! Tickets Start at $35. Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was
with them until his departure in 1983. During the 14 years that he was with the band, he wrote, sang, and arranged most of the enduring rock standards that made Supertramp a worldwide phenomenon. His timeless classics such as “Give a Little Bit,” “The Logical Song,” “Dreamer,” “Take the Long Way Home,” “Breakfast in America,” “School,” “Fool’s Overture,” and “It’s Raining Again,” helped the band sell well over 60 million albums. While many may not
recognize the name Roger Hodgson, everyone recognizes his signature voice – one of the most distinctive voices in rock history. The classic hit songs that he wrote and sang, often referred to as “Supertramp” songs, are actually Roger Hodgson songs. In 2017, Hodgson continues to perform all these hits that he first recorded with Supertramp along with his other classics – “Sister Moonshine,” “Child of Vision,” “Hide in Your Shell,” “Even in the Quietest Moments,” and fan favorites from his solo albums – “Had a Dream,” “Only Because of You,” “Lovers in the Wind,” “In Jeopardy,” and “Along Came Mary.” Accompanied by a stunning four-piece band, Hodgson’s ‘Breakfast in America’ tour will bring him to many countries around the world.

“Mississippi Blood” by Greg Iles
Health & Fitness One Pound of Fat Versus One Pound of Muscle
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
Clearing Up the Misconceptions In the health and fitness world, the statement “muscle weighs more than fat” is habitually tossed back and forth. In the context of fitness and recording body weight numbers on scales, that statement does not hold much weight. It just does not make sense because one pound is one pound. Technically, the statement is false. The truth is that when placed on a scale, one pound of fat is going to weigh the same as one pound of muscle – just like one pound of bricks is going to weigh the same as one pound of feathers. Where the confusion comes in is that muscle and fat differ in density (muscle is about 18 percent more dense than fat) and one pound of muscle occupies less space (volume) than one pound of fat. So yes, muscle seems to weigh more because there is a difference in the volume between the two. When a cubic inch of muscle and a cubic inch
of fat are measured, the cubic inch of muscle will weigh more. As you add compact muscle mass to the body, body weight may increase. This means that if you were to build 5 lbs. of muscle and lose 5 lbs. of fat, you would weigh exactly the same, but look smaller and firmer. So imagine if it were 25 lbs. or 50 lbs. of lost fat vs. muscle gained. This is why it’s possible for you to lose fat inches when exercising, yet show no change in scale weight. And can you see how firm the muscle looks compared to the lumpy, tapioca pudding consistency of fat? Some people get nervous to increase muscle within their bodies, but having more muscle can be a great thing! Besides being more compact in the body, there are lots of health advantages to having more muscle mass. Having more muscle mass in your body will: • Boost your metabolic efficiency • Better your balance and mobility • Build a leaner physique • Create metabolic reserve in times of traumas such as (car accidents and burns) • Enhance strength, stability, power and endurance • Improve insulin sensitivity and blood glucose control • Increase energy and vitality • Raise your confidence • Reduce your risk of injury • Strengthen athletic performance Health and fitness professionals across the world put a lot of emphasis on the “muscle is a highoctane calorie incinerator”
concept and even exaggerate (sometimes unknowingly) the actual amount of calories muscles burn while at rest. Fitness magazines and health experts like, Dr. Mehmet Oz and personal trainers across the country happily report that one pound of muscle burns an extra 50-100 calories per day than fat. However, recent scientific research has proven this number to be inflated. As a fitness professional, I do not like to over-emphasize the point that muscle tissue burns more calories than fat. I feel it is an important fact to know, and can be used as a motivator when getting started with a fitness program, but I do not think it should be the primary driving force behind gaining muscle mass. In my opinion, knowing that muscle can help balance insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels within the body is of greater interest than one pound of muscle burning an extra few calories more than one pound of fat. When the body’s endocrine system is working properly, it is much easier to maintain a healthy weight. When insulin sensitivity and glucose management is screwed up, weight management (and loss) becomes a very difficult task. Combine healthy insulin and glucose control with an increased resting metabolic rate (RMR), and you have a win-win situation. Ultimately, building muscle mass is a good thing. So, find some enjoyable exercises and get lifting.
The final installment in the epic Natchez Burning trilogy by Greg Iles, Mississippi Blood is the enthralling conclusion to a breathtaking trilogy seven years in the making-- one that has kept readers on the edge of their seats. The endgame is at hand for Penn Cage, his family, and the enemies bent on destroying them. It is a tale of love, honor, hatred and revenge that explores how the sins of the past continue to haunt the present. Unable to trust anyone around him, not even his own mother, Penn joins forces with Serenity Butler, a famous young author who has come to Natchez to write about his father’s case. Together, Penn and Serenity battle to crack the Double Eagles and discover the secret history of the Cage family and the South itself, a desperate move that risks the only thing they have left to gamble: their lives. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Rotary Club Helps Fund EFD’s Explorer Program
For the second year in a row, The Rotary Club of Ellicottville’s Foundation for Youth donated $2,000 to the Ellicottville Fire Company. This donation will help fund new members in 2017 for the EFD Explorer Program. This program, in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America, provides an opportunity for any child age 13-16 to become a volunteer fireman in training. This program is to help get younger people trained and involved in volunteer fire fighting. Zach Golley, Kyle Germain and Daniel Tapikin are three young men from the
Explorers who have joined the regular ranks of the Volunteer Firefighters over the past year. “This type of program fits perfectly with the Rotary Foundation for Youth’s mission and we are happy to help”, said Kathy Trost, Secretary of the Rotary Club of Ellicottville. “Our intention is to try to support two new members every year. We believe that this helps the Volunteer Fire Company maintain and grow the EFD who provide a tremendous service to our community. We are able to provide this funding because of the generous support for our fundraisers like Tuscan
Moon.” The high cost of equipment for volunteers has been a limiting factor for growth of the program, said Debbie Golley from EFD. This generous donation will help us grow the program and add much needed help to the company. Explorer members get to participate in meetings and work nights, as well as fire and ambulance calls. During work nights, they learn about various fire trucks and equipment, like airpacks and practice running the hose. While attending an actual fire, there are restrictions to what they can do to insure safety, while allowing them to learn. At the scene, they report to the assistant chief or captain for their assignments. There are currently five members and three advisors in the program. If you have interest in this program, please contact Debbie Golley at 378-1170 or Rob Germain at 699-4293. They will also be at the Science Fair this year with information on the program.

Escape with Your Girlfriends for a Weekend in Ellicottville
This spring the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce invites you to gather your girlfriends for a weekend of luxurious adventure. Ellicottville Women’s Weekend, which takes place June 2 and 3 is designed to give participants the opportunity to relax and bond with friends old and new while enjoying the diverse activities and experiences available in the area. And for women who lead hectic lives, an additional bonus is that all the work has been done for them meaning they just have to show up and focus on having fun. “Ellicottville has a growing reputation as one of the top adventure towns in the northeast. And the one thing we’ve discovered is that a growing percentage of our visitors are women’s groups. So this year, we decided it was high time we came up with an event geared specifically for the ladies,” observes Barb Pump, events manager for the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. “The great thing about Ellicottville is whether you’re coming from Western New York, Ohio, Northern Pennsylvania or Southern Ontario, it’s an easy drive to get here. And once you do get here, you can experience activities ranging from yoga in town to hiking the local trails and everything in between. And then come back and enjoy the ultimate après everything – shopping, dining, nightlife and spas as well as a fantastic line up of festivals and events in a friendly, quaint and historic setting.” A base registration fee of $250 includes a Friday Night Welcome Reception Party at Ellicottvillas with all kinds of great surprises. On Saturday, participants can enjoy a full day of fun experiences including an Essential Oils Class, brunch, Canvas N’ Cocktails, Yoga & Brews, The Best of Mixology and dinner with a guest speaker. For nominal fees, there’s plenty more to do including a Historical Hike of Ellicottville, Hot or Meditation Yoga, Group Golf Lessons, Pucker Up Lip Scrubs, Wine Tasting and Cheese Pairing and a “Become a Scarf Fashionista” class. And after all that activity, Sunday is a great opportunity for women to spend quality time with their friends exploring the area on their own… or taking advantage of other local outdoor attractions that are ideal for smaller groups, including horseback riding, kayaking and fly fishing. “We’ve collaborated with local businesses to create an extensive itinerary of enhanced activities, but we are really just scratching the surface,” continues Pump. “We have
one of the best combinations of adventure, experiences and après you’ll find anywhere in the northeast and it just keeps getting better. We’re confident that once women get a taste of how much fun they can have here, they’ll want to return again and again.” Ellicottville’s full calendar of Green Season festivals and events gets underway in June, goes into full swing during Independence Day (and Canada Day) weekend and keeps humming along right through to fall. Here’s just a sampling of this year’s line-up: June 17 – The 6th Annual Holiday Valley Mudslide A mud run where the emphasis really is on having FUN. There’s a 3.5 mile course or a more challenging 5.4 mile course with a bit of uphill running.

Lots of fun activities including Kayak and Sup Demos, Kids Races, Sup Yoga Demonstrations, Orvis Fly Fishing Casting Demonstrations, Live Music and BBQ. Free Admission. Fridays – June 30 to September 15 – Ellicottville Stroll the Streets An ever changing lineup of free fun activities in downtown Ellicottville including Face Painting, Magicians, Outdoor Movies at the Gazebo, Kids Yoga, Photo Booth, Live Music, Shopping and Dining Specials and much more!

I Love My Park Day May 6 By Alicia Dziak
In Western New York, we’re lucky to have an abundance of natural beauty everywhere we look. From the gorges at Letchworth to the roaring waters of Niagara Falls to the wooded rolling hills of Allegany, there are endless places to explore within our state park system. One day every May, there’s a chance to give back to these places that offer visitors so much in return. I Love My Park Day, this year being held on May 6, is a statewide event organized by Parks & Trails New York (PTNY) in partnership with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and local Friends groups, to celebrate and enhance New York’s parks and historic sites and bring visibility to the entire park system and its needs.

A LOOK BACK: Cows in the Village about 1860, the fence
Two calves hitched outside businesses near the intersection of Main and Buffalo Streets around 1880. The American Hotel and later Concord House can be seen in background. The calves are hitched to a hitching post, in those days it was a two dollar offense to tie or hitch cattle or horses to any shade or ornamental tree in the Village of Springville. By Derek M. Otto
Last week, I wrote about Fiddler’s Green Park and noted that in the picture from
and turnstiles around the park were there to keep animals out of the common green space. One of my readers posted on Facebook about picket fences and how they were designed to keep animals in rather than keep animals out. Recently, there have been issues relating to animals and livestock in the village. My neighbors had chickens and roosters in the village when I was a toddler (not that long ago), and every so often, we find a loose animal from the auction wandering among us. It is one of the unique things about Springville. I became interested to see what laws were in place in the 1860s to better understand the relationship between the village and livestock. The May 18, 1858 by-laws of the village of Springville was the law of the village at the time. The document, which is a single sheet, has 20 by-laws

A warm lodge, post-race party and awards ceremony is all a trail runner could ask for on this beautiful day in May. One water stop on the course keeps runners fueled.

Letter from the Editor
I genuinely love our New York state parks. I got married outside at Letchworth overlooking the Middle Falls. A visit to Evangola with friends is on our summer bucket list every year. Every Labor Day weekend, we camp at a different state park with some friends from Springville—we’ve been to the Thousand Islands, Watkins Glen, Fillmore Glen, Fish Creek Pond in the Adirondacks and this year are heading to the Catskills. And the place where we spend the most time, besides our own house, is Allegany State Park, where we camp, hike, bike and eat every chance we get. As a way to get people to help clean up all of these parks, a state-wide initiative called “I Love My Park Day” began a few years ago. On this day, people from across the state sign up to help at their favorite state park and do all kinds of projects, ranging from clearing brush to painting cabins. A few years back, my family and I helped paint the cabins at ASP’s Group Camp 12. My kids still talk about how fun it was being part of something that so many can enjoy. This year’s I Love My Park Day is being held on Saturday, May 6. Read the article on page 1 to see what area parks are in need of your help. It’s only a few hours for a lifetime of memories. My family and I will be at Allegany, once again planning to paint cabins in the signature green cabin color (if the weather cooperates!) Maybe I’ll see you there! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

By Elizabeth Riggs
Looking to let off a little steam? On Saturday, May 13, fill your wine glasses and beer mugs with local brews and vinos as the Springville Area Chamber of Commerce hosts its second annual Craft Beer & Wine Festival. According to Chamber Board President Bill Gugino, the festival was inspired by the popularity of similar craft beer and wine events held around the Western New York area. “Last year we started reaching out to different breweries and wineries to see if there’d be any interest from them in participating and there was,” Gugino said. The Craft Beer & Wine Festival is also an extension of one of the Chamber’s most popular events: Oktoberfest. “We do Oktoberfest at end of September and the idea was to have a second event halfway through the year that might complement that,” Gugino said. He also said that the event is a way to draw new visitors to the area. “What we’re hoping is twofold; not only to reach some of our local population, but also to reach people from out of town and highlight some of the things Springville has to offer,” Gugino said. The full listing of breweries on tap for the event include Ellicottville Brewing Company (EBC), Flying Bison Brewery, Gorden Biersch Brewery, Hamburg Brewing Company McKenzie’s Hard Cider, Pearl Street Brewery and Southern Tier Brewery. Wineries include 21 Brix, Chateau Buffalo, Main Street Winery, Midgard Winery, Savage Winery, Winery of Ellicottville and Winery at Marjim Manor. Ellicottville Distillery will also be on hand. The Winery of Ellicottville will be pouring several of their customer favorites, including Sweetest Thing, a double gold medal winner at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition, EVL White, Snow Fox, and a gold-medal winning Riesling, among others. “We are bringing a pretty good variety of whites and reds,” said Winery of Ellicottville part-owner Beth Sheehy, who says that events like the festival are an opportunity for the winery to

receive more exposure. “We really like doing offpremise events because we get to meet new people and they get to try new wines, and maybe that will entice them to come into the winery,” Sheehy said. The Winery at Marjim Manor, located in Appleton, NY, is a family-owned farm winery offering wines that have been made with local, homegrown produce to produce options ranging from cherry, apricot, strawberry, blueberry, peach and other fruit wines. “Our wines are different – they’re made from fruit, they’re not flavored wines. We press the cherries, ferment the juice and make actually cherry wine. It’s something different. These days, people are looking for what’s new and what’s unique,” said Marjim account manager Janet Walker. “Doing events in the community is a great way to educate people about our family wines. We like to go out and do events like this all over upstate New York,” Walker said of the festival. The Winery at Marjim Manor will be pouring its gold-medal winning Cherry Concerto; gold-medal winning strawberry and blueberry blend, Katapalooza; goldmedal winning Lady of the Manor; an apple, peach and pear fruit sangria, Applegria. Ellicottville Distillery, the lone distillery at the event, just opened last fall and will be pouring samples of their apple cider vodka, corn vodka, and a clear corn whiskey. “The corn whiskey and corn vodka are both New York
state grown,” said distillery manager, Bryan Scharf, who encourages people to give the distillery a try. “There’s nothing like a new spirit and a new story. There’s a whole bunch of vodkas out there, but everybody’s got a story.” Savage Winery will also be attending with their line of Caveman-themed wines, including white, red and blush varieties, as well as local favorite, Loganberry, which the owner says he created on a whim. “I was playing around one day and it’s been a hit, people love it. It’s a super sweet wine. It’s not like drinking wine; it’s like drinking really sweet pop, but it has a kick; 9 percent alcohol,” said Savage Winery co-owner Rich Byington. Pre-sale tickets for this event can be purchased for $25 online or in person from Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.— 3 p.m. at the Springville Chamber Office, located at the Lucy Bensley Center, 23 North Main Street, or at Sheret Jewelers, Cheap Chollies and B&B Homes. Tickets will be $30 at the door. The Craft Beer and Wine Festival will be held from 4-7 p.m. at the Springville Volunteer Fire Company, 405 West Main Street, Springville.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Lamb & Webster Offers Ag, Lawn and Garden Equipment
By Elizabeth Riggs
Have you been considering buying a UTV? Farmers, are you in need of a replacement part for that old Case that’s been on your farm for decades? Springville’s Lamb & Webster is a locally-owned and operated full-service retailer for agricultural and lawn and garden equipment. First opened in 1960 by Springville natives Lloyd Lamb and Austin Webster, the company is closing in on 50 years of business and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, Lamb & Webster is embarking on their busiest time of the year as spring planting, tilling and fertilizing begins, as a majority of their customers are small family farms. “We are an agriculturalbased business, from small farms to large family farms that have expanded and brought in the family to help run them,” said Co-Owner Earl LaGrou. But Lamb & Webster isn’t just for farmers. “We have smaller lawn and garden equipment and smaller attachments for the home owners and we have people in house here that specialize in the smaller units,” LaGrou said. Lamb & Webster carries product lines ranging from Case IH to New Holland and Cub Cadet to Kubota, and according to LaGrou, the business has evolved over time to ensure product lines meet customer demand. “We’ve been in the business long enough and we’ve
concentrated on what the customers have asked for. We’ve narrowed our lines down because there wasn’t enough business to justify them and it’s freed up capital to actually invest in the lines that we have,” he said. According to LaGrou, customers should beware of buying equipment at chain stores, as what may appear to be cheaper or a better deal, isn’t always the case. “If you buy some of the products at (a chain store) that we sell, it is cheaper, but we have some features and benefits on our equipment that those stores aren’t allowed to have. And we service them, which is something that the box stores aren’t allowed to do,” LaGrou said. Speaking of service, the parts and service department at Lamb & Webster is one of the main features that sets their business apart from the competition, and keeps customers coming back. “We are one of the largest stocking parts dealers in the area. One of the biggest issues people run into with farm equipment is that a lot of the older equipment parts are becoming more obsolete. Our parts people go the extra mile to find those older, obsolete parts,” LaGrou said. While it would be virtually impossible for Lamb & Webster to stock the older parts, the staff embarks on the seemingly impossible task of tracking down vintage parts at some of the most unlikely places.
Now offering Vein Ablation Procedure!
“We have to try and find somewhere that a part was returned or taken to a salvage yard,” LaGrou said. “Right now, with technology advances, if your equipment is over 20 years old, it starts to become difficult to find parts from the manufacturer.” As Lamb & Webster has been in business for nearly 50 years, it’s possible the older equipment they service was purchased by some of the store’s original customers. “We have customers that come through the door, that came through the very first day the doors opened,” LaGrou said. “It’s the parents and the fathers or the local homeowners who now have sons or daughters who are doing business with us on the farm or as consumers.” For those looking to continue doing business with Lamb & Webster, or others looking to start new traditions, LaGrou offers one key piece of advice. “The eggs are cheaper in the country and so are we. We pass all of the manufacturer’s discounts on to the customer. We have specials every day. The window of opportunity may only be a week or two. The best thing to do is just come down to the store,” LaGrou said. Lamb & Webster is located at 601 West Main Street in Springville, with other locations in North Java, NY, Woodhull, NY and Grove City, PA.

SCA Art Crawl May 6
For one night out of the year, Main Street in Springville becomes an art gallery, with artwork in many businesses, music in surprising corners and interactive art activities sprinkled throughout. The Annual Downtown Springville Art Crawl is Saturday, May 6 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. with free activities for all ages throughout the National Register Historic District. To “crawl,” your first stop should be at the corner of Main and Mechanic Streets to pick up a ballot and a map of the participating locations. After that, the night is what you make of it, wandering in and out of storefronts from the Pop Warner Museum and Mercantile down to North Buffalo Street and the Arts Center. With good weather, the event usually draws over 1,000 attendees. Artwork of various kinds, from watercolor to photography and acrylic to collage, is exhibited in businesses in Springville’s historic downtown. The artwork, submitted from across Western New York was juried into the show by Zack Boehler (Albright-Knox), Vanessa Frost (MUSEjar), and Tina Hastings (Cattaraugus County Arts Council). Most of the work on display is for sale and several artisan crafters will also be set up at 39 East Main Street. Judd Brown’s watercolor class will be painting Plein Air leading up to the event and will set up a special wet art exhibit. Over 30 locations will be participating, including Sheret Jewelers, Fresh Floral and Gift Company, Concord Land
Realty, Locals Lifestyle, and Anything Printed, to name a few. Retail stores open for the event will be selling their wares with a focus on Mother’s Day gifts. Many of the stops set out refreshments. Musicians play in small combos or acoustically wherever they can find space. Hintz of Thunder, Art Crawl stalwarts, will return with Porcelain Train, Ragweed, Nick Kody, Andy “Slim” Francisco, Lyndsey Burgio, Jeff “Beret-Man” Maybray and more. Seth Wochensky will do a sing-along set for toddlers and hobos and this spring’s SCA Ukulele class will perform. Arts Underground at 66 East Main Street will host an arts space for younger children and at the empty parking lot next door, a small “box city” will be erected. Kids can enter and engineer their own city with hundreds of cardboard boxes. Adults can create a unique wall hanging at a free makeand-take craft session with Gretchen Meyers, formerly of Makers Buffalo and Vanessa Frost of MUSEjar. Jan Howe will demonstrate traditional spinning.
Teresa Boettrich will set up an interactive CNC drawing bot. The SGI Art Club will be hold a silent auction with ceramic wares and two rain barrels. Art’s Cafe, the Center’s project at 5 East Main Street, will be open for a hard hat tour and a look at the green roof at 7 p.m. Once 8:30 p.m. hits, businesses close and the afterparty begins at Springville Center for the Arts, located at 37 North Buffalo Street. Refreshments will be provided in the Olmsted Gallery, which features the Spring Community Exhibit. “Crawlers” vote on their favorite artist by ballot and the award is presented. Parking is available in the large municipal parking lot south of Main Street or off Franklin Street. The event is held rain or shine. For more information on this pedestrian-friendly, free, walking event, visit Crawl. SpringvilleArts.org or call (716) 592-9038. The Crawl is sponsored by Springville Center for the Arts, a charitable nonprofit organization.

SGI ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Topher Elkins Varsity Track At last week’s Dunkirk invitational, Topher Elkins ran a career best 400 meter dash, taking 1st place overall. Nominated by Coach Joseph Marvin
grader Sophia Bus decided to work with JW.org (Jehovah’s Witnesses) for her project, and she has been able to work directly with refugees. “My friends are parttime missionaries, known as pioneers, who work outside the country, but also right here locally in the Buffalo area,” explained Sophia. “They are a friendly face to people coming to this country and by learning French and Swahili, they are able to communicate with these new friends and help them in practical ways as well as connecting them with congregations so that they can study the bible freely.” Sophia added that, “They help them learn English too, but by taking the time to learn to speak the refugee’s languages, they are better able to help them adjust to life here. The people we met from Africa have all dealt with horrible, unspeakable things
and although they are so happy to be here, they still miss many aspects of their beautiful country.” To earn the required number of service hours to accompany her project, Sophia noted that, “There are different ways to help. We collected gently used clothing/toys and books and brought them directly to families we met. We spent time with the volunteers and shadowed them in their work helping them to adapt to their new life here in America. We attempted to learn French so that we could speak to our new friends. I also arranged to have some of the friends come into the school to speak to my class about what they do and some of their experiences.” While Sophia has chosen to work with JW.org in a specific way, she explained that there are other avenues for people to help, such as, “Donating time and money to organizations such as www.jrchc.org (Jericho Road Community health center), www.iibuff.org and JW.org. Simply shopping at the Westside Bazaar, where many refugees have established business and you are able to eat delicious ethnic foods prepared by talented people (www.westsidebazaar.
facebook.com/springvilletimes coaches corner
com). My friend Gysma has a stand there where she sells cool things from Africa and sends money back home to build a well and a school in the village that she grew up in (she is currently back in the Sudan but her friends help her run her stand in her absence). Only people with money can go to school where she grew up and they have to walk a long way to get water. These are just a few of the places to start.” Sophia said that the biggest challenge she’s faced is the language. “I wish I could instantly speak French and the different languages these beautiful people speak so that I could communicate independently without an interpreter,” she said. “The other challenge has been getting people to talk about what they do and have accomplished because everyone is so humble and the African friends are traumatized by what they have endured; it is hard for them to talk about it.” As for many, KCMAD has become a family affair. “I am so happy that our school has this KCMAD project encouraged at this age,” Sophia’s mom, Wendy, said. “Sophia could not do this all by herself and our entire family, as well as many

Springville’s JV softball team has been at the mercy of this weather in western New York. With the cold temperatures in March, we practiced for weeks in the gym. The few breaks we had, we found ourselves practicing in the parking lots because the fields were just too wet. Currently, our record is two wins and six loses. We are carrying 14 players on the team, which is a large number. We have had tremendous pitching by Katie Wolf, an 8th grader. Two other 8th graders on the team are Sara Ehlers, our shortstop, and Marin Lehr, who plays 2nd base and can catch anything in left field. Our 9th graders include Kristen Brown, Lila Dinse, Gabby Kestner (catcher), Emily Ehlers (3rd base), Samatha Yetter (2nd base), Rachel O’Neal, Bella Oakley (1st base), and A. Parisien. Our 10th graders include Amy Stabell, which when asked can play any position and currently starts in center, Oliva Fisher, starting right fielder, and Mary Digangi, a new player to the game. With all the ups and downs, we have formed a fantastic team bond helping each other get through the rough games and celebrating our wins. We are looking forward to adding more wins when we see the teams for a second time. Boys’ Track, Submitted by Coach Joseph Marvin
On Friday April 28th the boys track team competed at the Dunkirk invitational and personal best performances were had by many.

other people, were excited about her project and got involved. Her English teacher, Mrs. Canfield, was moved to donate clothing and the spirit of helping was infectious. Our family regularly works in a volunteer ministry, but this was an amazing experience for all of us.” She feels Sophia has benefitted from this project by “Getting to meet new friends who look and speak differently and seeing so many selfless people utilizing their own time, finances and energy to help people has been inspiring. (This project) is close to her heart because my friend and her ‘aunt’ Tanya Geist has worked with refugees in the Buffalo area for the last several years and she has been fascinated by their stories. We are also Jehovah’s Witnesses and to see this aspect of service was something she was very excited about getting involved in too.” Sophia is a great example of how kids CAN make a difference in our very own community and beyond.

Jen’s Quill: Sleep Deprivation
By Jen Lee
Had someone asked me years ago that the cold-blooded eyes staring back at me in the dark would be my newborn son, I wouldn’t have believed them. But there he was, and he was trying to kill me. I just knew it. My bundle of joy came more like a bundle of mayhem trying to murder me. Happily, my love for him outweighed my sheer illogical terror that grew from lack of sleep. My beautiful son was not a typical newborn. He hated swings, hated his car seat, hated sleeping and hated eating. He was the kind of awful at eating that I’m certain would have caused his death in centuries past. He tried and failed miserably to feed every hour for 45 minutes. This gave me 15 minutes to worry about him not sleeping and then hear him crying because he was hungry. The good news is I was also not sleeping, which put me in the best mental state of my life…100 percent insane. Sleep when the baby sleeps, they said. That would have been a fine idea had he ever slept… ever. Newborns will sleep all the time, they said. False. Put him in a swing, they said. A car ride will zonk your angel out in a hurry, they said (exact words). If by “zonk out” they meant ear-splitting screams due to car sickness/hunger/
whatever the blue blazes is wrong with this kid, then that was absolutely correct. So, as I stared into the darkness at this demon child glaring back at me, I thought, I’ve given birth to the antiChrist. And what do I do with this realization? Because I’m smitten with the devil, I love this little demon, but I was sure with all my heart that he would be murdering me upon my descent into sleep. Sleep deprivation will do that to a person. If you think you are going crazy, or that people are out to get you, especially if that person is a 9-day-old baby, you probably just need a good nap. You also probably need someone to say “Jen! Calm down, he’s just a baby!” and slap some sense into you. Something else that might help if you’re sleep deprived — don’t look at your baby in the dark by the glow of your phone…if the precious child is awake, he will look creepy no matter what…those glowing eyes. When you’re terrified of being murdered by your beautiful new baby you love more than life, it may be time to change tactics. After six weeks of painful attempts to give my boy all the benefits from my breast milk, I acquiesced to switching to formula. It broke my heart temporarily, but then something wonderful happened. My child turned back into a child. I slept. He slept and didn’t squint his beautiful face up in pain. He was happy and alert and slept for more than 10 minutes at a time. I think we mothers just try to do what we think is best for our children. Part of me wishes I would have switched to formula earlier, part of me is glad I didn’t.
The most crushing sorrow of giving up breastfeeding was the loss of my Dolly Parton enhancements. The only advice I’ll offer is: if you are so tired from lack of sleep your brain sees flames coming from the glaring eyes of your child…do something different. Don’t turn your innocent baby into a monster in your mind; you don’t have much time to spend at this stage. I urge anyone with a newborn to love every spit up, crying, long night, rocking, exhausted moment you have with your bundle. The real insanity is how fast it goes. When you’re in the middle of the fight for your sanity it seems as if it will never end, but it will. Sure, I might have more children, but they’ll probably nurse just fine and sleep all the time, and what fun would that story be? I will never again get to hold my small 6-pound firstborn. I will try to soak in every moment, including the annoying ones. Because I know all too soon he will be 16 and no longer interested in me, rolling his eyes and walking out the door with some girl (she-devil) who will try to steal away from me the boy who tried to kill me all those years ago.

Village Board
benefit will be Newman Street, Maple Avenue, Franklin Street, Woodward Avenue and Buffalo Street. According to Mayor Krebs, the DOT created this grant project to help reduce pedestrian and cyclist injuries across the state. Melock stated that a public meeting on the project will be held in the early fall after the official contracts have been signed. The $600,000 grant covers 80 percent of the proposed cost. The village would cover the other 20 percent, which works out to be $120,000. Superintendent of Public Works Ken Kostnowiak announced that the fire department has moved in to the addition at 65 Franklin Street. It will be about three more weeks before the Sheriff’s Department will move into their section. Kostnowiak asked for a resolution to bid for a new truck for the streets division and also a resolution to surplus the older vehicle that would be replaced. He also announced that the Village of Springville received an increase in CHIPS funding; the increase of over $10,000 will help cover the costs of paving Buffalo Street, North Street and various oil and chipping of streets in the village. Last year, the village received about $90,000 in CHIPS funding; this year the amount is $104,050. Officer-in-Charge Nick Budney reported that the Springville Police Department responded to 198 calls, covered 50 shifts and made 77 citations during the month of April. He also thanked Liz Melock for her assistance in helping him write several police-related grants. Code enforcement Officer Mike Kaleta asked the board to approve two vending licenses to local food trucks. The board
Continued from front page
approved the vending licenses of Cruising Crepes and Jake and the Fatman BBQ. The planning board is looking to create specific policies for food trucks; currently, the food trucks have to pay the $150 vendor license fee in the village. Kaleta asked the board to look at Vehicle and Traffic Law 180-31. The law dictates that there will be no left turns out of M & T Bank and Community Bank onto Buffalo Street. He said that the original purpose of the no left turns is no longer valid and it is not enforced. He also discussed no turning left on Main and Waverly and onto Main Street from Gentner’s Auction. Kaleta updated the board on 110 South Central; he noted that all correspondence relating to liens on the property have been received. He reminded the board that the public hearing for demolition is set for May 15. Alan Chamberlain explained to the board that the recent control center hire did not work out. He asked the board to approve Alicia Venture to fill the position. In trustee comments, Nils Wikman was approached by village residents that there have been issues with drones flying around houses. Residents
are concerned about privacy issues and what regulations the village has. Krebs stated that, “There is little that can be done. The FAA mandates that certain drones be registered. The village can only regulate on public property such as parks. Drones really should not be flying below four hundred feet on private property.” Trustee Terry Skelton remarked on going to the recent Opioid Symposium. “It was very good; however, it looks like there is no easy fix to this problem.” He said that the Springville Service Commission will approach local doctors on administering drugs to overcome overdoses. The goal is to increase the current number of doctors that are able to treat overdoses. In closing, Krebs said that he attended the TIPS training, which was to better inform local servers of alcohol on best practices. He noted that it was very successful. He thanked the fire department for moving its trucks to 65 Franklin on Saturday, April 29. He also thanked the DPW and Fire Department for the assistance during bad weather on Monday, May 1. The next Village of Springville Board meeting is on Monday, May 15, at 7 p.m. at 65 Franklin Street.

Holland Tulip Festival May 11-13
By Alicia Dziak
Growing up in Holland, NY, the annual Tulip Festival was one of the highlights of the year. It always included a stop by the craft fair to pick out a Mother’s Day gift, stopping by the Historical Society building to see my mom and their display for the Erie County Fair in August, going on amusement rides with my friends and of course, watching the parade. (Sometimes I’d be in the parade, but that’s a whole other story!) When I was in kindergarten, I got to walk on stage with that year’s Tulip Queen (who also happened to be named Alicia), and when I was a senior, I stepped way out of my comfort zone and participated in the Tulip Queen pageant myself. All in all, over the years, the Tulip Festival was something I grew up being a part of every year, and to this day, I still try to get there to share it with my kids. As one of the earliest smalltown festivals of the year, the Holland Tulip Fest will be held May 11-13.

Enjoy a Women’s Weekend In Ellicottville
This spring the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce invites you to gather your girlfriends for a weekend of luxurious adventure. Ellicottville Women’s Weekend, which takes place June 2 and 3 is designed to give participants the opportunity to relax and bond with friends old and new while enjoying the diverse activities and experiences available in the area. And for women who lead hectic lives, an additional bonus is that all the work has been done for them meaning they just have to show up and focus on having fun. “Ellicottville has a growing reputation as one of the top adventure towns in the northeast. And the one thing we’ve discovered is that a growing percentage of our visitors are women’s groups. So this year, we decided it was high time we came up with an event geared specifically for the ladies,” observes Barb Pump, events manager for the Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce. “The great thing about Ellicottville is whether you’re coming from Western New York, Ohio, Northern Pennsylvania or Southern Ontario, it’s an easy drive to get here. And once you do get here, you can experience activities ranging from yoga in town to hiking the local trails
and everything in between. And then come back and enjoy the ultimate après everything – shopping, dining, nightlife and spas as well as a fantastic line up of festivals and events in a friendly, quaint and historic setting.” A base registration fee of $250 includes a Friday Night Welcome Reception Party at Ellicottvillas with all kinds of great surprises. On Saturday, participants can enjoy a full day of fun experiences including an Essential Oils Class, brunch, Canvas N’ Cocktails, Yoga & Brews, The Best of Mixology and dinner with a guest speaker. For nominal fees, there’s plenty more to do including a Historical Hike of Ellicottville, Hot or Meditation Yoga, Group Golf Lessons, Pucker Up Lip Scrubs, Wine Tasting and Cheese Pairing and a “Become
a Scarf Fashionista” class. And after all that activity, Sunday is a great opportunity for women to spend quality time with their friends exploring the area on their own… or taking advantage of other local outdoor attractions that are ideal for smaller groups, including horseback riding, kayaking and fly fishing. “We’ve collaborated with local businesses to create an extensive itinerary of enhanced activities, but we are really just scratching the surface,” continues Pump. “We have one of the best combinations of adventure, experiences and après you’ll find anywhere in the northeast and it just keeps getting better. We’re confident that once women get a taste of how much fun they can have here, they’ll want to return again and again.”

a half cents for each goose, for each offense. But this shall not prohibit any cows or cows belonging to any inhabitant of the village from running at large in the daytime from the first day of April to the first day of December in each year, subject to the provisions of the Revised Statues in relation to unruly cattle.” Geese and sheep could not run at large, but cows could. So it was pretty clear that most animals were kept in their owners’ yards by the picket fences. The fence around the village green was a good idea. You also had to be careful of where you tied or hitched your pony. By-law number twenty made it a two dollar offense to hitch or tie any horse, cow or any other animal to any shade or ornamental tree in the village. That was two dollars for every offense. The fence around the park kept the temptation away of tying up your horse to a shade tree in the park. Burt Spaulding, who wrote in the 1930s of his growing up in Springville in the 1880s,
recalled a goat eating someone’s rose bushes and everyone in the village cramming into the offices of C.C. Severance. Mr. Severance was the Justice of the Peace and his office was above the old Simon Bros Store. In the days before the Internet, this spectacle was the village entertainment. Spaulding never spoke of the outcome or whatever happened to the goat. In the stories and laws I researched, I never came across any laws regarding chickens. Did they freely roam around the village? It seems that they may have. Laws about chickens and other small animals came about in the village in 1974. The small animals probably were not a major issue until we no longer had cows walking around the village in the daytime. Ironically, one law is still on the books as it was in 1858— it is unlawful to ride a horse, cow or any other animal on village sidewalks. So even if the cows roamed freely, they couldn’t have used the village sidewalks.

At Truvy’s beauty shop, where the motto is “There is no such thing as natural beauty,” you can find six women who gather there often, gossiping about the latest happenings. The show opens with chit-chat on the big event happening that day in Chinquapin, Louisiana — Shelby’s wedding. Steel Magnolias follows
friends through the next three years with all of the ups and downs of life. These women may be filled with spitfire, wit, and stubbornness, but they support each other through thick and thin. This comedy-drama has humor throughout the show, but there is sadness and loss as well.

YOUR PICS
The show is directed by Tom Durham, who previously helmed Loose Lips Sink Ships and Proof at the Center, along with many plays at Aurora Players and throughout Western New York. Many are familiar with the 1989 movie, which was adapted from Robert Harling’s 1987 play of the same name. Surrounded by friendship and love, these women are faced with life’s challenges from men to faith to medical battles. Steel Magnolias takes the stage at the Carol Mongerson Theater, 37 North Buffalo Street, Springville on May 11, 12, 13, 19 and 20 at 8 p.m. and May 14 and 21 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for Students and Seniors and $12 General. Group Rates are $8 for Students and Seniors and $10 General with a minimum of 15 tickets purchased. Tickets are available online at SpringvilleArts.org or by calling (716) 592-9038.

SCA Named Finalist for Regional Award
Springville Center for the Arts (SCA) has been named a finalist for Cultural Organization for the Year at the upcoming Spark Cultural Awards.

This is a great opportunity to promote Springville to people
from all over Western New York,” commented Liz Bligh, Arts Center Programming Director. Other finalists this year include Rita Auerbach, Kenan Center, M&T Bank and others for their role in creating a vibrant cultural landscape in the area. More information and tickets can be purchased at asiwny.org.
