Summer Break Is Here!
Upcoming Events
By Alicia Dziak
Woo hoo! School is out for summer! If you live in Ellicottville, you know there’s plenty of awesome activities to keep kids (and parents!) busy for the next couple months. Now open daily throughout the summer, head to Holiday Valley’s Sky High Adventure Park. Sky High is made up of three components: the Aerial Park, the Climbing Forest and the Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster. 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. 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. For rates and to make reservations, visit www. holidayvalley.com/summer/ sky-high- adventure-park/. Those ages five and up can enjoy the Climbing Forest, which is like a 3D version of a rock wall, and only one of three in the country. There are 10 trees outfitted with colorcoded climbing holds and the difficulty ranges from very easy (yellow) to very challenging (purple). Each climber is fitted with a harness that is clipped into an Auto Belay system. Once a climber reaches the top of the tree at up to 45 feet, they just let go and the belay system slowly lowers them to the ground. There is also a kids’ area with two trees where the youngest climbers can climb about 6 feet up and climb back down. For rate info, visit www. holidayvalley.com/summer/skyhigh- adventure-park/climbingforest/.

Ward Center for The Arts and Athletics” or “The Ward.” At Ward’s retirement party, which was held last Thursday at Holiday Valley’s Yodeler Chalet and gathered more than 150 people, the naming of the facility was announced. “It’s hard to even say anything,” Ward said See ECS Board Meeting page 4

into each course. All climbers attend a safety briefing and are outfitted with a safety harness
that is attached to the guide cable at all times.
I can’t tell you how excited I am that summer has arrived. Besides the (finally!) warm temps, summertime brings so many great activities to Ellicottville. Last summer, I spent many afternoons with my kids at the Holiday Valley pools, and I plan to do the same this summer...starting now! What is it about a waterslide that makes even the most reserved child or adult let loose? And how about a diving board that beckons even the non-graceful to attempt to impress their friends with some kind of dismount into the water? Swan dive? Cannonball? Belly flop? Yes! They all deserve a round of applause as long as they result in a splash. Even when you need a break from the water, there’s still so much to do there. My kids and I like the table tennis and putting green. We’re not particularly good at either, but that what makes for some laughs. Inevitably, swimming makes you hungry and thirsty, and what better place to enjoy a meal than poolside at the Cabana Bar? And don’t get me started on the frozen drink option! Yes, indeed, spending an afternoon at Holiday Valley pools feels like being on vacation. Of course, the pools are not the only thing drawing people to EVL all summer. My girls and I also must plan at least one trip to Sky High, where the more cautious of the two and I prefer the yellows and greens, but the more adventurous one tries to get us onto the blues. (I have yet to tackle a black, as I don’t feel it necessary to be quite that high off the ground!) All of us agree that the best course is the all-zipline one, and usually spend a good chunk of our time doing that again and again. All in all, spending the summer days in Ellicottville is an awesome and memorable way to enjoy the season. Hope to see you around! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times and Ellicottville Times

tearfully. “I appreciate it, and you certainly caught me off guard. You hit it out of the ballpark.” Ward went on to say goodbyes and thank you’s to members of the school board, administration and staff. “Bob and Connie – it’s been nine years of fun. We got a lot accomplished in the nine years I’ve been here. I’ve kind of had two tours of duty here,” Ward said. “You put this much time into a joint, and it’s like your home. There’s no comparison.” Ward went on to thank District Clerk Melissa Sawicki. “I was blessed the day I came back to have Melissa waiting for me. We’ve been a great team. We laugh a lot and I think that’s what makes it work. I’ve been so lucky,” Ward said. “She’s a true friend, certainly one of the best I’ve ever had. My mornings won’t be quite the same without her.” In closing, Ward thanked all of the board members, “You’ve made my dream come true. You had the confidence and trust in me and I never took it lightly,” he said. “It was an honor being the superintendent here in Ellicottville. From the bottom of my heart, I thank each and every one of you for

that chance.” Lastly, Ward closed with encouragement for what lies ahead and the passing of the torch to Middle and High School Principal Bob Miller who will take over the role of Superintendent on July 1. “The future is bright. You’ve got Connie [Poulin] who will do a hell of job and Bob is ready for the challenges ahead, and you are ready as a board. With the board that you have, and the support of the community, and the solid staff, you all are left in good hands,” he said. After Ward’s heartfelt goodbyes, in regular business, the Board unanimously approved the creation of a full-time elementary teaching position, which was accounted for in the recently-passed school budget vote. The search for the new teacher will begin after the Fourth of July holiday. In addition, the Board approved the following fall sports coaches: Chad Bartoszek, Varsity Football; Chris Mendell, Assistant Varsity Football; Jason Marsh, JV Football; Matt Finn, Boy’s Varsity Soccer; Chris Edwards, Boy’s Modified Soccer; Girl’s Varsity Soccer, Mary Neilon;
Girl’s JV Soccer (co-coaches), Katie Taylor and Leah Klahn; Girl’s Modified Soccer, Tammy Eddy; Girl’s Varsity Volleyball, Katie Auge; Girl’s JV Volleyball, Danielle Norton; Girls Modified Volleyball, Tracie Myers. The Board also approved the following advisors for the 2017-2018 school year: Kristen Pearl, Football Cheerleading; and Chad Bartoszek, Summer Weight Training. As discussed in prior Board Meetings, the Board also approved Kristen Pearl to the position of substitute caller. She will be given a stipend of $2,200, and provided a district cell phone to be used for district business only. Pearl was also approved for the position of Afterschool Office Aide, and Tammy Ange was approved for the position of Receiving Clerk. Lastly, Robert Sawicki was appointed to the newly-created position of baseball pitch counter. The Board will hold a special meeting next Tuesday, June 27 at 5 p.m. in the high school library for the purpose of personnel appointments.

and fireworks, what more could people possibly want? Nothing! According to Kent, some people love the rodeo so much they call to get their tickets six months in advance. “We have a huge following. People love the rodeo here. Families count on coming here every year. I have people calling me in January and February lining up their tickets,” Kent said. “It’s quite something to see all those people coming. It’s great entertainment for the entire family.” There are only four days a year to witness an authentic rodeo right in Ellicottville. Don’t miss out on your chance for some good old-fashioned fun for the whole family. Shows will be held Thursday, June 29 through Saturday, July 1 at 7 p.m. with fireworks following the show. There will also be a show on Sunday, July 2 at 2 p.m. Gates open two hours before each show, and guests can come early to buy tickets on the day of the show. Pre-sale tickets, which are available until June 25, are $18 for adults. Regular admission is $20 for adults which includes ages 13 and up. Children 12 and under are $10 pre-sale, and $12 at the gate, Kids five and under are free.

with his wife, Karen. The rodeo will also feature a clown and trick riders, which Kent said are amazing to watch. “We have three trick riders that are coming in. It’s a mom and daughter and another little girl, 11 and 12 years old. They do a fantastic opener. It’s a big eye opener for other little kids. The horses are running full tilt. It’s quite an art to be able to do that. A lot of athletic ability is needed,” he said. But the fun doesn’t stop there. There is also a kid’s stick horse rodeo for children 10 and under. Parents can register their children when they enter the Tack Tent, and purchase a stick horse on-site. Gates for every show open two hours before the rodeo begins in order to allow guests extra time to come in and enjoy the homemade food, including a famous chicken BBQ. “We do all the food here. Most people come and watch the rodeo, but what they really come for is the chicken BBQ,” said Kent. “We also have pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, and ice cream. Not every rodeo has ice cream, but Ellicottville does.” Guests can also browse through the craft vendors and stick around after the evening rodeo shows for fireworks. So with rodeo, a clown, trick riders, food, crafts

Firefly Walks at ASP
‘Glowing’ anticipation of the synchronous firefly: ASP looks forward to spectacular light shows. This summer, Allegany State Park’s Environmental Education Department will offer hikes to view the rare Synchronous Fireflies – once thought to exist in only a handful of places in the world. The Photinus Carolinus species, also known as the Synchronous Firefly, flashes only from late June to midJuly. In 2012, the Firefly International Research and Education Team (FIRE Team) came to study the local firefly
species, and confirmed its existence in the Branch Creek area of Allegheny National Forest. After lead naturalist, Adele Wellman, and other volunteers and naturalists from Allegany State Park received the training necessary to identify the species, the park naturalists looked in similar habitats and were able to identify the Synchronous Firefly for its first confirmed sighting in New York State. Allegany State Park will offer the opportunity to view this special species, which flashes simultaneously in an apparent competition display
to attract females. Please check out the park’s Facebook page to see when firefly walks will be scheduled. In the event of severe thunderstorms, the event will be cancelled. However, the fireflies do display in rain and you may still observe them on your own if you wish. Displays are best observed in a dark mature forest in order to experience the full effect. For information on other programs, please check Allegany State Park’s activity schedule at www.facebook. com/alleganystatepark , or call (716) 354-9101 ext. 232.

Explore Area History This Summer
Discover Cattaraugus County’s rich history this summer by participating in one of the upcoming lectures and events taking place in Ellicottville and throughout the county. Whether you’d like to dig deeper into the history of Ellicottville, participate in a ghost tour, or consider the CIA’s involvement in the deaths of JFK and Malcolm X, you’re sure to walk away feeling enriched and eager to learn more! Celebrate Juneteenth this weekend at Jamestown Community College’s Olean Campus at 260 North Union Street. On June 19, 1865, Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, arrived in Galveston, TX with news that the Civil War had ended and slaves were now free. Even though this was actually two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, the arrival of Granger’s regiment, combined with General Lee’s surrender in April, overcame Confederate resistance in Texas. Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, and the African American Center for Cultural Development of Olean invites you to join in on Saturday, June 24 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. There will be several activities at JCC’s Olean campus including music, a poetry reading and food. Pulled pork, corn bread, hot dogs and red beans with rice will be for sale throughout the event. This year’s guest artist is Ras Jomo Akono, who will combine story-telling and African drumming. The Twin
Tiers Writers Club will present a poetry reading, and there will be a drumming circle with Faith Tanner-Thrush. To learn more, visit www. africanamericancenterforculturaldevelopment.org. On Friday, June 30, take part in a ghost hunt/tour of the Hinsdale Haunted House, featuring high priest psychic medium Kristen Lee. The nationally-known house, recognized as the most famous haunted house in the area, is located on McMahon Road and first gained notoriety when Clara Miller Dandy published her book “Echoes of a Haunting” in September 2000. Dandy, who lived in the house with her husband, Phil, and children in the early 1970s, experienced several strange sightings and encounters with spirits during her time there. The family often heard a strange choir singing behind the house; gas jets on the stove suddenly turned on, untouched bathroom faucets spewed water and various objects randomly went missing. Father Alphonsus, a priest from St. Bonaventure University, was at the house more than once to perform an exorcism, but as time passed, the Dandy family gave up and left the house for good. A 2006 episode of “A Haunting” based on the Dandys and their experiences in the home aired on the Discovery Channel. Few families have lived in the home for very long since then, but visitors can now learn about the home’s strange history and use paranormal investigation equipment to explore the house. The tour, featuring Lee, is from 7 to 10 p.m. and tickets are available online now at http://www.
hauntedhinsdlaehouse.com. Call (716)578-4586 or email dan@pitsociety.com for more information. The Ellicottville Historical Society and Museum (EHSM) is hosting “Our Own History Show & Tell” on Wednesday, July 12 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. This interactive event invites guests to come to the presentation with their own bit of history to talk about! Whether it’s a photograph, an artifact, or an interesting story about the area, everyone is welcome to share their piece of the past. Guests can also come prepared with questions about Ellicottville’s history that they’d like to have answered. The public is invited to attend this free event at the library, which is located at 6499 Maples Road. For more details, contact the EHSM at (716)6998415. If you’ve always been fascinated by conspiracy theories regarding the assassinations of John F. Kennedy or Malcolm X, you’ll want to attend the EHSM’s August Lecture! On Wednesday, August 9 from 7 to 8 p.m., John Koerner will speak on “Why the CIA killed John F. Kennedy and Malcolm X.” The public is invited to attend this fascinating lecture at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. You won’t want to miss it! To learn more about upcoming events at the EHSM, check out the Ellicottville Historical Society on Facebook.

Kids Programs at ASP Summer means camping, hiking, swimming and exploring. What better place to do all these fun things then at Allegany State Park. The Environmental Education and Recreation Department has always run a vast array of programs for kids such as Creek Critters, Nature Scavenger Hunts, Raccoon Rangers, Fossil Hunts to name a few. Camping for Kids The goal of this program is to get kids interested in the outdoors and the lifelong love of camping. Many park users attribute their love of parks due to a family member taking them on a camping trip as a child. As our society has become so reliant on electronics, this program potentially will teach kids the importance and beauty of being “unplugged”. Campers will learn how to set up a tent, build a fire with natural products, pack a backpack and of course, leave no trace ethics. We especially want to thank Cabela’s for generously donated tents for this worthwhile program. Creature Feature Ever wonder what fox fur

feels like? Or what porcupine’s quills or footprints look like? Have you ever held a dragonfly or a turkey feather in your hand? These are just a few of the things kids of all ages will be able to explore this summer at the Quaker Bath House each week. Naturalists choose their favorite animal; bring hands on items to investigate, and give you some fun facts about each one. This ongoing program will be different every weekso visit often. I FISH NY is a NYSDEC program to increase fishing
participation and awareness of the outstanding fishing opportunities in New York State. Our program is geared toward kids. The DEC supplies rods, reels, hooks and bobbers. With so many places to cast your line in the Allegany Region, this program will “hook” you on the joys, challenges and excitement of fishing. Children fish free with a licensed adult. Check out www.dec.ny.gov/ outdoor/fishing.html for more information about fishing in NYS.
June 14, 2017 Office of the New York State Comptroller Buffalo Regional Office, Attention: Mr. Jeffery D. Mazula 295 Main Street, Suite 1032, Buffalo, NY 14203-2510 Unit Name: VILLAGE OF ELLICOTTVILLE Audit Report Title: Village of Ellicottville Procurement Audit Report Number: 2016M-426 Dear Mr. Mazula: For each recommendation included in the audit report, the following corrective action(s) have been taken: 1. Ensure competitive bids are obtained for purchases exceeding the bid limits as required by statute and the procurement policy. Since October 1, 2016, the Village has followed the above recommendation. This was implemented by Mayor Burrell and the Board of Trustees. 2. Ensure that the required number of proposals are obtained for items that fall under the bidding thresholds. Since October 1, 2016, the Village has followed the above recommendation. This was implemented by Mayor Burrell and the Board of Trustees. 3. Consider using available State and County contracts. Prior to the start of our new Fiscal Year, June 1, 2017 (and since), as we are making purchases from our new Budget, we are looking at State websites and we have a copy of all County 2017 Material Bids. These give us an excellent idea of what we should be paying. This was implemented by Mayor Burrell and the Board of Trustees. 4. Consider revising its procurement policy to prescribe the methods for soliciting competition for professional services through the use of RFP’s and written or verbal quotes. This part of our Procurement Policy was revised at our Organizational Meeting on April 10, 2017. I addition, we received three bids for our annual liability insurance on May 1, 2017. This was implemented by Mayor Burrell and the Board of Trustees. Sincerely Yours, Village of Ellicottville John A. Burrell Mayor

COMMUNITY CALENDAR
A Calendar of Events for Ellicottville and Surrounding Communities June 24-25 Chautauqua County Curiosities by Vince Martonis at 7pm Cattaraugus County Museum 9824 Rt. 16 Machias, NY
Betty Meierjurgen of Little Valley, New York, is the featured artist at the Ellicottville Memorial Library through October 15. Betty’s love of nature shines through in her beautiful landscape paintings featuring the scenery near her country home in Little Valley, and her Winter retreat in Florida. Betty is young at heart; always learning, experimenting, and challenging herself. Her joy of creating art shines through in her portrayal of some fishermen in the early morning surf, and the dappled light on the snow in a forest. Says Betty of her artistic journey and philosophy: “I began as a self-taught oil painter while in my teens and early twenties; however, marriage, family and work, forced me to put away my paints. Many years later I realized I was in a position to retire and get back to my love of oil painting. There are those who say that when the pupil is ready the teacher appears, and so it was with me. After a few years of working alone, I was
able to contact a wonderful professional to work with and have never regretted my early retirement to return to painting. I look at my paintings as a form of communication. The message is evolving in my work, but I know it involves the possibilities of an unknown future. Many of my paintings are landscapes that have creeks, roads, paths, dark areas, things with an uncertain ending that provoke the individual’s curiosity. Those who go ahead
into uncharted waters have always inspired me. This desire to look around the corners, to grow, explore and develop in spite of the unknown, is what makes us who we are: human.” The Ellicottville Memorial Library is located at 6499 Maples Road in Ellicottville, NY. Hours are 10 to 5 daily except Sunday. Evening hours are 5-8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.

Health & Fitness
Consistency is the Key to Fitness
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
Through my years as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I have noticed the one main ingredient that keeps people from reaching their fitness goals— consistency! People tend to be impatient when it comes to exercise. Too many times people do not give their exercise plans enough time to reap the benefits they are looking for. No matter what we do in life, we will not achieve the success we want unless we work at it day in and day out for months and months. The same goes for your exercise programs. You can have the best trainer in the world, and the best diet to follow, but if you do not stick with it consistently, you will wind up spinning your wheels. This can be very frustrating for someone who is trying to achieve fitness goals. I feel there are three main components in any exercise program to build lean muscle and lose unwanted body fat. These components are strength training, cardiovascular exercise, and proper nutrition. All three are equally important on achieving your goals in fitness. If one is not executed consistently, the other two will suffer and so will your progress. Don’t get me wrong— to assume we can be perfect 100 percent of the time will just be setting ourselves up for failure. Our goal should be to follow our programs the best we can day in and day out, most of the time. The longer the time you stick with something the better you will become at it. Strength training has always been my favorite piece of the exercise equation. Depending on your goals, you should perform some type of strength training with weights anywhere from 3-6 times per week. The importance of strength training
is that it will help increase your lean, tone, body mass, thus giving a better shape to the body and increasing you basal metabolic rate. Muscle is like a 24-hour furnace, so we must be sure we maintain or even increase our lean muscle to keep the metabolism on the rise. To help keep you more dedicated, I would find a workout partner or hire the help of a qualified personal trainer. I am more likely to go to the gym if I know there is someone waiting for me that I am accountable to. Also having a training partner or trainer will keep you more focused and motivated during your workouts and will keep you from getting bored of the same old routine. Cardiovascular activity is necessary to keep the metabolism roaring and help you burn some extra calories that will lead to fat loss. The main reason I choose to do a good amount of cardio is that it allows me to eat more food and still make the fat loss results I am looking for. Some people who rely on diet alone to lose fat usually find themselves losing weight, but also a lot of muscle. Keeping a little bit more food in the diet, but using cardio to burn more calories, will end up in retention of lean muscle while losing the fat. I would recommend doing your cardio first thing in the morning, 30 minutes plus, before breakfast. This way it is out of the way, and it will really boost your energy for a good portion of the day to follow. It is a little tough in the beginning, but after a week, you will feel so good doing it, you will be locked in a routine. If there is no way you can do it first thing in the morning, I would do it right after you train with weights or at night after your last meal. Bring a headset with your favorite music to help the time go faster. The nutrition element can be the toughest piece in our fitness equation. This is where I find that biggest inconsistency lies in most people. Some are good for 2-3 days, and then blow it for 2 days, etc. This vicious cycle will lead to frustration. Instead of following an extreme diet plan, follow a nutrition plan that is moderate and one you feel you can follow every day for most of the time. Find a plan that is
filled with the healthy foods you like. NO, this does not mean ice cream, BUT once in a long while, you can indulge and enjoy. Moderation is the key. If you mess up and indulge in one or two of your meals, the day is not ruined— just start back to your diet for your next meal following. Convenience is a big factor that affects the consistency of eating the right foods. I recommend you get in the habit of preparing your own meals ahead of time. This will eliminate the excuses of stopping off at a fast food place because you have nothing to eat. It will eliminate the excuse for skipping a much-needed meal. The best thing about preparing your meals is that you know exactly what you are eating, and have complete control of the food you eat. To speed up the metabolism and to help recuperate from your training, try to eat 5-6 small meals per day. It takes a minimum of around 2 weeks of a consistent eating regime to start boosting your metabolism and making results as far as lean muscle gain and fat loss. Supplement companies today made it very easy to hit all of your meals. You can purchase protein powder and protein bars. Again, these help eliminate any excuse for not getting the proper nutrition your body needs. I would still rather you eat whole foods, but something is better than nothing at all. A consistent routine will take some time to develop. After a couple of weeks, it will be part of your every day routine. Once you hit that level, it is smooth sailing, almost “auto-pilot.” Sure, in the beginning it will be difficult at times to prepare all your meals, do all your cardio, and hit every training session. You will get used to it, and there will come a point where you will not even think about it because it will be a consistent part of your daily routine. It is just a matter of convincing yourself that you can do it, and giving yourself time to get there. The more time you do it, the more confidence you will develop to stick with it. So please go out there and try your best— you owe it to yourself!

School’s Out for Summer!
Another Veteran Added to Village Honor Roll
By Alicia Dziak
It’s summer vacation! If you’re a kid, it’s time for staying up late and filling the days with outdoor activities. If you’re a parent, it’s time to get planning! Have no fear—there’s loads of great summertime fun right at your fingertips. Start out at one of WNY’s great parks. Sprague Brook is close to everyone living in Springville and offers hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, tennis courts and open spaces for lots of fun lawn games. On hot days, the creek is a great place to cool off. Pack a picnic lunch and make a day of it, or reserve your spot at the campgrounds to extend your stay. Call (716) 858-8355 for reservations.

Poloncarz Addresses Road Concerns, Outlines New Economic Plan
By Elizabeth Riggs
The hazardous, deteriorated road conditions were the main topic of question, and for some, outrage, last week at a town hall meeting held by Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz at the Sprague Brook Casino in Glenwood. In the town hall portion of the meeting, local business owners
and residents all questioned Poloncarz as to how tax dollars were being spent, and why the road conditions on 240, Springville-Boston Road, and Glenwood-East Concord Road have remained so bad for so long. Last week, a portion of Springville Boston Road was repaved, but the milling
and resurfacing of Route 240, from Springville to East Concord will not take place until 2019 due to budget. It’s these roadways on which local business owners raised concerns, and gave specific examples of motorists driving on the shoulders in order to avoid the potholes, some even saying that customers told them they couldn’t shop at their stores due to road conditions. “It’s always a money issue. We have at least 24,000 lane miles of road in Erie County,” said Poloncarz, who explained that roads are ranked according to deterioration and then repaired accordingly. “It was a terrible winter for roads. The winter just destroyed them.” Additional questions from

The regular meeting of the village of Springville Board met on Monday, June 19. During public comment, Bill O’Brien, Third Vice Commander of the American Legion Post 431, told the board that a Korean War veteran had not been listed on the Korean War Memorial in Shuttleworth Park. Ensign Baker David G. Baker was killed when his fighter jet crashed near Jacksonville, FL. Baker grew up in Concord and attended the lower grades
at Griffith Institute. He was the first Western New Yorker accepted as a cadet at the Navy Air Base in Niagara Falls. O’Brien , Larry Balog and Roy Barley will pay for the cost of adding the name to the current memorial in the park. This is the seventh veteran to be added to the memorial in the town. Earlier this spring, O’Brien discovered six World War II Era veterans that had been killed and not recognized for their ultimate sacrifice. The See Village Board page 2

The annual Dairy Festival has come and gone already and now we are ready for the fun that summer brings. The Chaffee-Sardinia Firemen Carnival is coming this weekend—the last of the local firemen’s carnivals. It is neat to see that today, a local company, American Amusements,
provides the teen and kiddie rides for these events. Coincidentally, the first Springville firemen’s and American Legion carnivals were held on the same spot that this year’s Dairy Fest was held. Before the high school was built in 1950, the football and baseball diamonds were in

Letter from the Editor
It’s been a long time coming, but summer is finally here! This week, my daughter Lily, had her last day of 6th grade, and my daughter Ava had her 8th grade Moving Up Day before she heads to the high school next year. To me, the school year flew by. It has been filled with some long nights of homework, social activities, sports, and many interesting, time-consuming projects. Some that come to mind are the panda bear Lily spent months creating in Home & Careers—it’s way more impressive than anything I could do at that age or could do even today (thanks Mrs. Reinhardt!) and the super-detailed, super-fun Google logo Ava created in Mrs. Jaeger’s Art Club. Both my girls had many amazing teachers who were genuinely interested in helping their students succeed. Being part of the Springville Times, and featuring so much SGI content every week during the course of the school year, has been so much fun. Since we have so many writers in the SGI district, we have built relationships with the teachers, staff, coaches and students. It has been great getting to know some of you this year and we look forward to continuing to promote everyone and everything that makes SGI so amazing in the pages of our paper during the 201718 school year. As the school year officially comes to a close, I’m ready for summer vacation with my girls. If you’re like me and like to be busy, there’s no shortage of cool places to visit and great activities to keep kids of all ages busy over the next couple months. Be sure to check out the article on page 1 for some ideas. To all the families who are about to embark on a memorable summer break—enjoy! I hope to see you around! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times and Ellicottville Times

mayor complimented O’Brien for his work and getting the names added to the memorials. During the Administrator reports, Liz Melock asked the board to accept $45,000 in budget adjustments so she could close the 2016-17 fiscal year. She then asked the board to Approve SEQR, which allows the village to begin replacing water mains on Church and Franklin Streets areas. To do this, Mayor Krebs asked the board that they approve the Village of Springville as the lead agency. She asked that the advertising be tabled until July 10, 2017. She also asked that the board approve Watts as the consultant for the TAPS grant. The $600,000 grant will pay for improvements in the village, making it more bike friendly. Superintendent of Public Works Ken Kostnowiak reported that work continues on the Heritage Park site; the restroom will be installed some time in the next week. The crosswalk construction has started. Oiling and chipping of villages streets will be happening in the upcoming weeks. He also made an addition to the Heritage Park. A canine hydrator is to be installed at the park. The $1,600 drinking fountain will allow dogs to get a drink when
out with their owners. Officer in Charge Nick Budney issued a code red for the Springville village. There were several car break-ins in the Maple Avenue and Spring Street areas the previous evening, including four at community village apartments. He also asked the board to approve an additional officer. He currently had budgeted for 10 officers; however, due to the officers’ schedules, money and shifts are available for the additional officer. Fire Chief David Klenk reported that the advanced life support protocols for the Fire Department and Mercy EMS have been approved. Mercy EMS responds to all emergency calls in the village. He told the board that the department will be using $28,000 of their funds to purchase new Hurst equipment, such as jaws of life. He mentioned that the equipment that is currently used is over 20years old and needs to be replaced. Code Enforcement Officer Mike Kaleta reported that the asbestos certification for 110 S. Central was completed and demolition should happen soon. He also reported that he had a special event permit request from the New Life Fellowship Church on Central Avenue for a request to put up
a large 20X40 ft. tent in the Eaton Park for vacation Bible school. The concern was over size and length of time the tent would be up. There has to be an inspection of the wires and plumbing, etc. There would also have to be insurance with the tent being up for an extended period of time. The control center had 150 calls for the month of May. In new business, the board accepted the resignation of Christie Greene, a member of the zoning board of appeals. In trustee notes, Alan Chamberlain mentioned that on June 28, 2017, the Town of Concord will have an input session for their master plan at 86 Franklin Street. Nils Wikman addressed concerns that residents had about unruly youth on North Buffalo Street. He asked Nick Budney to address the situation. Mayor Krebs displayed a certificate that the village received from the federal government celebrating 50 years of the historic preservation districts. Springville received the certificate for its participation in the project. The next meeting will July 10, 2017 at 65 Franklin Street, Springville, at 7 p.m.

Go Griffins! Springville Stampede July 28
Mark your calendars for Friday, July 28, when the Springville Stampede 5K returns. The race, beginning and ending at SGI High School, is hosted by the Springville Cross Country team, and proceeds will go to the team to help develop and grow the program. The race starts at 7 p.m., and runners are asked to arrive by 6:30 p.m. to pick up race bags. Cost is $20 and includes a t-shirt if registered by July 5. After July 5, cost remains $20, but no shirt is included. Food and awards will follow the race. The Stampede is still looking for sponsors!

and high-school students, is focused on enhancing student leadership and advocacy skills. Students gain these skills while spreading awareness of human rights issues and violations around the world. The group is one of the largest student clubs at SGI and has been active since 2007. Just this past school year, Students for Human Rights raised over $800 for the International Rescue Committee. Empathetic, compassionate, understanding, informed, historically aware, actionoriented – these are the traits that SGI’s Students for Human Rights are carrying with them when they graduate from SGI and move into adulthood. According to Mr. Beiter, “Our Students for Human Rights are not just gaining the skills
and insights they need for a successful and fulfilling future, they are making a concrete and lasting impact throughout their time at SGI. Their actions on behalf of girls in Afghanistan and refugees from Syria have ripples they will never fully comprehend. And, perhaps more dramatically, the conversations they have started and led in Springville, are critical ones for all of us to be engaging in.” The Hodgson Russ Excellence in Collaboration Awards recognize collaboration that helps improve the educational program, and propel a district toward excellence. These awards recognize a program that is unique, but can be replicated by others.
Each year, seniors in Mr. Wikman’s economics classes compete in a semester long virtual stock market competition. Students start with $100,000 in virtual money and buy and sell stocks using real-time information in an attempt to build value in their portfolio throughout the semester. The student with the highest value portfolio at the end of each semester wins a $100 cash prize that is donated by Emerling Ford and Emerling Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM of Springville.
This project is an exercise in understanding the various forces that impact the stock market and the importance of including such factors as world events when investing. The simulation requires a great deal of attention to detail and the ability to manage a diverse number of stocks over a 20 week period. The spring 2017 semester winner was Katherine Clark who finished the game with a portfolio value of $157,224. Congratulations, Katherine!

Jen’s Quill: Mexico
By Jen Lee
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is a place I never thought about visiting. But when you’re a nanny in Los Angeles and the family pays you to go with them…yeah, you definitely go. I loved the family I nannied for. The couple just had one baby. Vacationing with them was an entirely different experience from my vacations. Right from the arrival at the airport, I didn’t have to lift a finger. Bills were handed out by the father like candy to kids in a parade. Although as a child, I never got the candy at the parade. I guess he was giving money out more like a really rich person would give money to someone for carrying suitcases. As we went through the lines, we handed off the baby to and fro, and they informed me that next year it would probably be France we would venture off to, but we would certainly be taking a private plane because commercial flights were clearly such a bother. I tried to blend in, throwing in my “Yeah, I know, right? People, lines, waiting, ugh.” I was, of course, keeping my real thoughts to myself: “I’m a princess! I’m royalty! I don’t have to carry my bags? I’m a star! I love Mexico, I love life, I love being rich!”
When you are in Mexico with a rich couple and their extended family, several things happen. First, your entourage discusses LOUDLY how dirty and awful Mexico is. This happens while in Mexico… in a taxi…with someone who happens to live in…you guessed it, Mexico. So classy. Luckily, the man was kind and pretended not to hear them. I give Mexico major props for that. The second apparently inexcusable thing that happens is the largest pool at the resort is being renovated and won’t be available for use until Wednesday! Can you believe it? Oh the horror! Are you kidding me!!?! Not for TWO WHOLE DAYS!?!? You mean to tell me that I have to go with my cohorts the whole 10 feet to use one of these other four pools instead!? One or two of which have jacuzzis built right into them? What? How will I survive? Just because it’s off season doesn’t mean I want to share a slightly smaller ginormous pool with those three people! Third, you learn that when someone says we need to bring chairs over from the other pool, he actually means we need to pass out more money to workers who will then carry them over for us. Note: going over to carry your own chair will get you chuckled at by your boss as if to say, “Oh foolish nanny, why would you ever try to carry that light chair on your own? You are not a peasant worker. You are our nanny—carry this baby instead.” Fourth, when you take the 10-month-old up for his daily nap, there may be a
housekeeping woman in the room. Trust me, sign language that you make up on the fly is not universal no matter how clear you think you are being. No amount of pantomiming and no degree of flailing your arms will get her to understand you, not even when you couple the motions with saying the English words louder and slower while moving your mouth dramatically to help her read lips. She is not a deaf woman, she is Mexican. You’re going to have to show her out of the room like the classy American you are. There will be ants in your hotel, there will be beach vendors, there will be room service, the pool being renovated will open before it should to appease the guests, ultimately causing several tiles to dislodge from the bottom. But most importantly, there will be scarring incidents you’ll never quite recover from or understand. Like the grandmother coming out of her room completely topless demanding that you help her get her shirt on without ruining her hair because she just can’t do it herself. Don’t frantically look around for salvation— everyone else left for the lobby and is waiting for her there. It’s quickest just to do as she says so she’ll leave and you can go about pouring that rubbing alcohol into your eyeballs in hopes of removing the image. Mexico…I recommend visiting. You are sure to leave there with countless lovely and horrific memories, and possibly a complimentary because-you-took-and-kept-itwhen-it-came-off-the-pool tile souvenir.
SCA Presents Adult Visual Arts Workshops
Are you a watercolor extraordinaire looking for a new technique? Have you ever wanted to discover new and unique ways to use paper? Look no further because Springville Center for the Arts is offering two adult workshops this summer. The first being offered is Botanical Watercolors with instructor Bernadette Keleher. Botanical Illustration, a European watercolor technique that uses hot press paper instead of cold, will be the focus in this class. The techniques taught will help with other watercolor techniques the artist has previously acquired. Participants will come out with their own painting by the end of the three classes. Please bring a live plant or flower to use as your model. It is preferred that the plant or flower is planted. (It works better and lasts longer than cut
flowers or plants.) Botanical Watercolors will be held from Tuesday, June 27 through Thursday, June 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. This class is $40 per person or $35 if you are an Arts Center member. Participants will need to purchase Hot Press paper from the instructor as well. Some watercolor background is suggested. The second workshop is Paper Exploration. Paper Exploration is exactly what it sounds like! Deb Eck, the instructor, uses her preferred medium - paper - with various
techniques to create various forms art. Each class has its own unique theme, meaning you will be taking home your work of art after each class. Paper Exploration will be held every Wednesday in July: 5, 12, 19, and 26 from 6 to 8 p.m. This class is $45 per person or $40 if you are an Arts Center member. All skill levels welcome. All materials are provided. For more information on Deb Eck and paper exploration, visit her website at www.DebraEck. com. Both workshops will be held in the Vacanti Classroom at Springville Center for the Arts located at 37 North Buffalo Street, Springville.

Walk Through the Sky at Kinzua Bridge State Park
Editor’s note: While this column usually features places to visit in WNY, some places in northern Pennsylvania are within a short driving distance and are too cool not to mention. One of these places is Kinzua Bridge State Park, located just a stone’s throw from the southern tier. Kinzua Bridge State Park, at 296 Viaduct Road in Mt. Jewett, PA. Once the world’s longest, highest railroad bridge, Kinzua Sky Walk offers a unique glimpse into the bridge’s history revealing the ingenuity, dedication and determination of its designers and builders. The Kinzua Viaduct, when first constructed in May 1882, was the highest and longest viaduct in the world, measuring 301 feet high and 2,053 feet long. The need to transport coal, oil and lumber across the Kinzua Gorge inspired General Thomas Kane, president of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Coal Company and Octave Chanute, Chief Engineer for the Erie Railroad to design a colossal viaduct. In 1900, the viaduct was rebuilt of steel to accommodate larger loads and the weight of modern train traffic In 1963, Gov. William Scranton signed legislation that provided for the acquisition of the viaduct and adjacent lands to become a state park. The Kinzua Bridge State Park opened in 1970. In 1977, the Kinzua Viaduct was placed on the National Register
of Historic Landmarks by the Federal Department of Interior. The bridge stood for 121 years. The Erie Railroad operated trains across the viaduct from 1882 until 1959. After 28 years of inactivity, the Knox and Kane Railroad offered excursion passenger trains from Marienville (48 miles to the South by rail) to and across the bridge starting in 1987. These steam driven trains continued until 2002 and were the last trains to ever cross the bridge. The bridge partially collapsed under the powerful winds of a tornado in 2003. In 2009, work started to reinvent the remaining towers of the historic viaduct as a pedestrian walkway. That plan was changed. Today the Viaduct, has been reinvented as the Kinzua Sky Walk — a spectacular walkway that once again allows the public to “Walk the Tracks Across the Sky.” A partial glass-bottomed observation
deck enables visitors to look down at the remaining towers supporting the historic structure. Kinzua State Park features lovely picnic areas, hiking trails, interpretive programs, group tent camping and scenic overlooks. A park pavilion may be rented for special events. The park is accessible via the Kinzua Bridge Scenic Byway (SR 3011) which is a designated shared use hike/ bike corridor, connecting Pennsylvania Route 6, just east of the village of Mount Jewett, to the Kinzua Bridge State Park. Future plans at the park include the Kinzua Visitors Center which will feature classrooms, a visitor center, restrooms, and a small retail store along with interpretive programming and interactive displays on engineering, energy and the environment.

Calico Club Adds to Wooden Building Replicas
The Springville community has been asking when the Calico Club would announce its next collectible building. And as of June, that question has been answered. The Calico Club has a limited number of miniature wooden replicas of the Springville Post Office available for sale. Building committee members Pat Thoman of Glenwood and Kathy Carlson of Springville considered potential designs of notable local buildings, and ultimately chose the Springville Post Office to help highlight its 80th year. The buildings that Calico Club has offered in the past range from Springville Center for the Arts and Bertrand Chaffee Hospital to the Joylan Theatre. Proceeds from the sale of these unique and highly soughtafter pieces benefit Calico
Pictured from left: Pat Thoman, Jenny Burkhalter, and Kathy Carlson. Club activities. These include service projects and “random acts of kindness” during the year, and a scholarship to an Springville Griffith-Institute senior presented at graduation. Pieces are available for
purchase for $20 each from any Calico Club member, Springville Homewear on East Main Street, the Lucy Bensley Library on North Buffalo Street and the Concord Mercantile on Franklin Street.
Boys & Girls Club Golf Classic Tournament June 26
On June 26, the Boy & Girls Club of Springville will hold their 15th Annual Horschel Brothers Golf Classic Tournament at the Springville Country Club. This year’s tournament will feature a few new upgrades and be “new and improved” said Boys & Girls Club of Springville Board President, Jim Howe. Howe explained that the Golf Classic Committee, headed by Eric Lawton and Ashley Kerr, has been hard at work through the winter months to ensure this year’s event will be better than ever. Highlights this year include: The Dixon Challenge! Dixon Golf will be in attendance with their environmentally-friendly golf balls. Dixon Golf is the world’s only manufacturer of a high performance, eco-friendly family of golf balls. Born from a desire to limit its impact on the environment, from core to cover, from packaging to production, Dixon golf is setting a new standard in environmental consciousness. Dixon Golf believes in being socially responsible and has donated more than $1,000,000 to charities nationwide since 2012. During the tournament, a representative from Dixon Golf will be on hand conducting the “Dixon Challenge.” As each group of golfers arrives to the Dixon Challenge Tee, the rep will provide them with
a free Dixon Earth golf ball and then challenge them to try their golf ball against the eco-friendly Dixon Earth ball. Just for participating, they will receive more than $150 worth of products and certificates from Dixon and their partners, as well as be entered into a drawing to win a free golf simulator ($27,000 value). Cost to play the Challenge is $10. Each golfer who accepts the challenge will be awarded one extra shot. Should either shot land on the green, they will receive one sleeve of Dixon Earth golf balls ($10 value). Amazing lunch! Rather than the pizza and hot dogs most tournaments offer their golfers for lunch, we have partnered up with Anderson’s Food Truck to be in the parking lot for lunch. Anderson’s will be serving up their famous roast beef sandwich for all tournament golfers. Live music! During the cocktail and appetizer hour outside on the deck, golfers and their guests will be serenaded by the ever so talented JT &
Jon Law, singing some of your old favorites and newer ones too. Singing along is greatly encouraged as long as you are singing the same song as the band. A delicious dinner! Prepared for golfers and their guests by none other than Chef Kirk Van Wagner, former chef and owner of Curley’s in Lackawanna, this will be a feast to talk about for some time. Lots of prizes! The tournament will feature all the normal activities and contests: beverages on the course, 50/50, and auctions. Skills contest consisting of: Longest Drive Contest for both men and women; Closest to the Pin Contest for both men and women; Hole in One contest at 3 holes where golfers can win cash, golf clubs & more; Hole in One contest to win a new car-not a lease, you will own the car! The Boys & Girls Club of Springville 15th Annual Golf Classic Tournament, sponsored by Horschel Brothers, will have a shot gun start at noon. If you are interested in playing or participating by being a sponsor please contact the club’s Director, Andy Bobseine at 716-794-7021 This year’s Golf Classic Tournament will be one for the record books with loads of fun! Please join us!
Town Hall Meeting Continued from front page
attendees touched on topics ranging from Medicaid to rural broadband, and the opioid epidemic to Scoby Dam. During the beginning of the town hall meeting, Poloncarz outlined his new economic development plan, titled “’Initiatives for a Smart Economy 2.0” which piggybacks on his plan released in 2013. The first plan identified 64 initiatives that the county undertook to support economic growth in the region. Since the release of the 2013 plan, 32 of the 64 initiatives have been fully implemented, and an additional 28 are currently underway. The most local and applicable efforts outlined in the plan include efforts to develop an agri-business focused industrial park on the site of the former Angola Airport in an effort to offer “local and regional employment opportunities to help alleviate rural poverty that exists in southern Erie County,” as the plan reads. “These are the types of initiatives that make a difference,” Poloncarz said of the agri-business park. “This is one we think is particularly important. It’s in negotiations now.”
Additionally, the Infrastructure and Transportation portion of the economic plan includes $75 million investment in upgrades to Southtowns Advanced Wastewater Treatment Facility, which services portions of Boston, Eden, Hamburg and Orchard Park, and the villages of Blasdell, Hamburg and Orchard Park. Most locally, in the Quality of Life portion of the economic plan, Poloncarz noted that there will be improvements made to many Erie County parks, including Sprague Brook, in which an additional 30 campsites will be electrified. Additional initiatives in the newly-released plan include the redevelopment of the former Bethlehem Steel site as an industrial park in an effort to uplift a portion of Lackawanna, which is one of the poorest census districts. Also in Lackawanna are plans for upgrades to the Wastewater Treatment Plant in order to meet regulatory requirements and address future growth in the service area, which includes Lackawanna and small portions of Buffalo, Hamburg and West Seneca. Another initiative includes increased marketing efforts
to Southern Ontario and Canadian companies for potential operations in Erie County for new manufacturing, distribution and job opportunities. On this initiative, Poloncarz explained that the Buffalo area is uniquely situated in a location that would allow Canadian business members to travel back and forth from American to Canadian offices in a day’s time – a convenience that many other border states can’t offer. “We would be building our own communities by bringing Canadian companies here, and taking advantage of our unique location,” Poloncarz said. On this same note, Poloncarz announced that Visit Buffalo Niagara is working with a group of Western New York hotels and proposing an increased bed tax in order to gain more revenue for the County’s tourism industry. Poloncarz outlined several other initiatives as part of the “Initiatives for a Smart Economy 2.0” plan. Further details on the entirety of Poloncarz’s plan can be found on the Erie County Government website: http:// www2.erie.gov/.

Eaton Street Park. Even more interesting, the amusement rides were too provided by a local family, the Neffs. Neffs amusements were an off shoot of another company in Springville, Smith and Smith. In 1900, brothers Joseph and Louis Smith began manufacturing the Circling Wave for James Armitage and D. Guinn of North Tonawanda. They were using the old Shuttleworth foundry on Mill Street to forge the steel components and mill the wood for the ride. The Circling Wave was similar to a merrygo-round, but riders sat facing outward and gravity would cause the ride to wobble as it turned. The ride was marketed globally in Popular Mechanics and other trade magazines. It promised owners could make up to $1,000 a day with the ride. The success of the ride caused the Smith brothers to expand their operations, building a large facility along the BRP railroad in 1915. The new location on Franklin Street in Springville allowed direct access to steel and coal being delivered right to their door. The proximity to the railroad also allowed easy shipping to places all over the globe. By the 1920s, the Smith brothers retired and the family kept the company going through Ellery Neff. In 1923, the chair plane ride was introduced by the company. This ride is still seen at carnivals and fairs today, even at the Dairy Festival. After World War II, Jim (J.J.) Neff and Robert Glazier took over the manufacturing of rides. By this time, rides included a ferris wheel, car ride, boat ride, and variations on the chair plane ride that included rocket ships and fighter jets. In addition to manufacturing the rides, the Neffs also had a small amusement company that would travel locally. A few years ago, I was able to have phone interview with Mrs. Gloria Neff, Jim Neff’s wife. She recalled that the amusement company provided rides for fireman’s carnivals in
Rushford, Orchard Park, East Concord, Springville and the Pike Fair every summer. While her husband produced rides, Gloria worked in the office. She remembered that one customer from Israel purchased a boat ride. He was determined to be there when the boat ride was packed for shipping. “He was very persistent on being here in Springville when the ride was packed,” she said. Sure enough, on the day the boat ride was being packed, the man showed up and “with a car load of silk stockings,” Gloria recalled. As she remembered, after the war, there was a huge shortage of silk stockings and they were rationed in Israel. The man bought a huge stock of them in New York City and drove here to stash the stockings in the ride. “Every nook and cranny of the boat ride was stuffed with silk stockings,” Gloria said. In 1964, Diamond Acme Manufacturing purchased the company from the Neff and Glazier families, with the intent that the company would move their ride division to Springville. However, the company purchased the equipment and closed the Franklin Street plant. Rides were no longer produced in Springville. The legacy of the Smith and Smith Company will be the many hours of fun and laughter. This was furthered in 2008 when Jim Neff of Pine Bluff , AR, formerly of Springville, donated a 1936 chair-plane ride to Bay Beach Amusement Park in Green Bay, WI. Locally, a chair-plane ride was installed at Midway Park in the 1950s. The ride at Midway Park is also the one I have knowledge of tipping over. In June 1958, students from Falconer High School were riding the ride when it tipped over, breaking one boy’s leg. Whether the ride is operational still, I do not know. In the movies, Smith and Smith rides were set up in South Dayton during the filming of The Natural in the early 1980s. The rides were the backdrop for Robert Redford.
