in the county is ranked ahead of us,” said Superintendent Mark Ward. “A tip of the hat to our staff.” The Board also announced Mr. Ward’s donation of a red oak tree, which has been planted on the school grounds. “We don’t have a red oak tree and a red oak is a pretty main frame tree in this neck of the woods,” said Ward of his gift to the school. “When you see it, you can think of me.” During the elementary report, Principal Connie Poulin reported that the school is in the process of planning for the special education extended school year, a state-mandated, six-week program for students who demonstrate regression of skills over time away from instruction. “We’ve identified 32 students with IEP schedules that will participate,” said Poulin. “It will start on July 11 and be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with morning and afternoon sessions.” Poulin also noted that the elementary teachers are continuing to focus on curriculum and are working together to plan instruction for the upcoming school year. “Our teachers are preparing for the future doing curriculum planning,” Poulin said. “Specifically, we will be doing some curriculum work relating to participation with science kits.” The science kits, provided to ECS through BOCES, were one of many items funded in
the 2017-2018 budget. In other news, Poulin announced that this year’s Reading Celebration, an annual fall event, will once again feature a guest author. The district is currently working to bring in WNY author Cynthia DeFelice, whose works include adventure and suspense geared toward middle school readers. Middle and High School Principal Bob Miller reported that up to 14 students will be attending the Costa Rica student trip taking place in February 2018. Students will have the opportunity to do community service and volunteering in addition to sightseeing. “It’s just an exciting opportunity to give that many kids the opportunity to travel to there,” said Miller. Miller also reminded the board of the upcoming eighth grade class trip to Washington D.C. Currently, 48 of the 60 students in the class will be attending, departing on Monday, June 19 and returning on Wednesday, June 21. Additionally, Miller reported that the fourth and eighth science performance exams took place last week with no issues. This marked the end of state testing for elementary and middle school students. In other business, the board also voted on several personnel matters, including: approval of Chris Mendell as the Summer Driver Education teacher, approval of tenure of teacher assistant Heather Reed, approval of temporary summer cleaners Karen Chapman, Kristen Pearl, Leanne Pfeffer, Cathy Dunkleman, Jennifer Hasper and Randy Will, approval of the resignation of part-time cafeteria worker Christina Conklin, and approval the addition of Kelly Shantler to the substitute teacher list. The next ECS board of education meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 20 at 7 p.m. in the high school library.

Health & Fitness Rest Between Sets
By Kim Duke, NETA & AAFA Certified Trainer
In my last article, I discussed the tempo at which you should strength train for optimal success and for injury prevention as well. This week, I am adding the rest component to the strength-training workout. When you’re strength training, there’s more to consider than reps and how much weight to pick up. Another important factor in improving: rest between sets. The amount of break time you take determines how your muscles adapt to the movement, says Carwyn Sharp, Ph.D., chief science officer for the National Strength and Conditioning Association. “Matching rest periods and intensities places the appropriate amount of stress on the muscles and their energy systems,” he says. Besides working your muscles in different ways, the breather you take between exercises correlates to injury prevention. “If you wait too long to move your muscles again, they become cold, which increases the risk of injury due to muscle damage,” says Peter McCall, exercise physiologist and American Council on Exercise trainer. “On the other hand, if you don’t rest long enough, your body can’t replenish the muscles’; energy efficiently, so you’re
exercising in a fatigued state. This can lead to poor form and therefore injury.” In my experience, most of my clients want to shed extra weight and tone, sculpt and strengthen their muscle, not add extra mass like a body builder. For these clients, rest periods are less than 30 seconds. Fitting into a smaller pants size involves a combo of many approaches, Sharp says. Eliminating rest periods and pushing through a 30-minute workout without stopping will certainly help you torch more calories, a key to losing weight—but that’s not the only factor. “Maintaining or increasing muscle mass and strength are also important, because they allow your body to burn more calories while at rest”; he explains. The more muscle you have, the higher your calorie burn throughout the day, even when you’re sitting on the couch. If you’re new to weight training, you can also try the plan below. If your goal is to get stronger and faster and add muscle mass, then I recommend pumping heavy iron—(85 percent or more of the max weight you can lift); you should rest a minimum of two minutes between sets. This will maximize your strength gains. Even better, waiting three minutes will help lower your perceived exertion levels or how hard you think you’re working, while still boosting your stamina. “The rest between sets determines your ability to sustain the heavy weight for subsequent sets,”; says Estevao Scudese, study author and associate researcher at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. This study also supports
resting longer to lift more later. So what should you do during those minutes of rest? Sit and relax, especially if you focused on your legs. Another study found that rest intervals are particularly important when working major muscle groups, like those in your lower body. If you worked your shoulders, arms, or chest and prefer not to take a seat, Butler suggests walking around the room. Another option: Shake out your limbs to release any tension, and help keep yourself calm and loose between sets. For those who just can’t squeeze in the necessary wait time, try doing super sets. This involves alternating exercises that focus on different muscle groups. For example, do pushups followed by deadlifts—the upper body can then rest while you work your lower half and vice versa. One more note about lifting heavy weights: It’s a great (safe!) idea to have a spotter. Whether that’s a fellow lifter or a trainer, knowing a spotter is there can put you at ease mentally, allowing you to complete reps with better form. Of course any of these outcomes will improve your health—strength, muscle mass, endurance, and weight loss are all positive outcomes. So if you end up cutting your rest a little shorter or making it longer than planned, don’t fret: You’ll still gain benefits. Just keep in mind that the heavier the weight you’re lifting, the longer you should wait to pick it back up. Even more important: Listen to your body. If you feel too tired or your heart rate is too high to start another round, give yourself a few extra seconds. If you’re feeling strong and energized, make your rest time a little shorter that day.
healthy living, and leadership. According to 4-H educator, Abigail Luzier, about half the members are part of clubs that meet on a monthly or semimonthly basis, with Allegany and Cattaraugus-Little Valley having the largest clubs. The other members in the county work individually and prepare their fair paperwork at the Cornell Cooperative Extension Center in Ellicottville. Currently, the CCE Center is putting together the fair book, which includes the full schedule of the judging and live animal auctions for fair week, which takes place during the first week of August. Students who are showing beef cattle and steer have already been preparing for the fair; some of these students have been raising their animals for one or two years, according to Luzier. Those who plan to show small animals such as
pigs, sheep and goats have been raising their animals since this spring, and those who are showing chickens and turkey are getting their animals now to prepare for fair week. Although the first day of the Cattaraugus County Fair is officially Monday, July 31, 4-H members get started much sooner! Judging of exhibits in the Youth Building takes place on Saturday, July 29 and the animals move in on Sunday, July 30. Many students stay at the fair the whole week with their families, taking advantage of the fairground’s camping facilities and RV hookups. Students who are participating in the market sale with their animals stay until Sunday, Aug. 6 when the animals are released. In addition to learning about agriculture and livestock, the 4-H program fosters a love of creativity.

Luzier explained that craft night at the CCE Center is a popular night that lots of members look forward to. Craft night meets on the second Thursday of each month from 6 to 8 p.m., and members get together for activities such as grain mosaics, sewing crafts and river rock painting. This month’s meeting on June 8 focused on painting and repurposing glass jars for gifts, décor and more! This spring, Cattaraugus County 4-H introduced the new Shooting Sports Program. Certified instructors James Snider and Katie Benatovich have joined the 4-H trained archery instructors team and are excited to be teaching members the fun and challenge of this great sport. Upcoming events include the Horse Schooling Show at the Cattaraugus County Fairgrounds from June 16th through 18th and the Open Swine Show at the fairgrounds on June 17th . On June 24, 4-H members can participate in the Alpaca Clinic at BearKat Alpacas, an alpaca farm just seven miles outside of Ellicottville in Humphrey. There, members can earn an education credit by learning about the origin of alpacas, their nutrition, digestion and more. From showing livestock to making crafts to learning about area farms, there are so many ways to participate in 4-H! Luzier emphasized that new members can join anytime through their open enrollment policy. Simply call the CCE Center at (716)6992377 or stop in to the center, which is located at 28 Parkside Drive in Ellicottville.

Rhino Lacrosse Continued from front page
Edmonton, from 2001 to 2010. He also played in the MLL, professional field (outdoor) lacrosse for Rochester, San Francisco, and Denver, from 2001 to 2008. “The idea for this tournament started in 2004 after coming back from the Vail tournament, I traveled to Ellicottville and realized that the town had the same cool feel,” tournament co-organizer, Mike Riorden said. “It’s taken 13 years to find Ryan Powell the perfect partner who has both the experience and passion to bring both great lacrosse and great entertainment to Ellicottville.
June 2 & 3: Over $2,300 raised for Cystic Fibrosis!
Ryan and I look forward to the Ellicottville Lacrosse Tournament becoming one of the premier destination tournaments in the country.” Riorden has a portfolio of lacrosse experience that spans 40 years as a player and a lacrosse official. He has been inducted into the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Rochester Chapter. His sons, Blaze and Connor, follow in his footsteps. Blaze is a goaltender for the Buffalo Bandits and Rochester Rattlers. Connor is an attacker for Lycoming College. “When Mike and Ryan approached us in December of 2016 about this project and we saw it as an opportunity to expand the outdoor experiences that other events like the World Bowhunting Championships did for so many years,” Ellicottville Chamber Executive Director,
Brian McFadden, said. “With the growth that the sport of lacrosse has seen around the country, and the great things this organization has done in bringing so many young people onto the field, it seemed only fitting that we work with Rhino Lacrosse to make this tournament a reality. We are a community that embraces family events and I am sure this will become a multi-year event once the competitors and their families get a taste of the famous Ellicottville hospitality. ” Lacrosse is one of the fastest growing sports in the country, according to USA Lacrosse. From 2001 to 2015, the last year complete data has been compiled, participation in youth lacrosse has grown 220 percent, from about 250,000 participants to hitting the 800,000 threshold.

‘Come Sundown’ by Nora Roberts
The Bodine ranch and resort in western Montana is a family business, an idyllic spot for vacationers. A little over thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, it’s kept running by Bodine Longbow with the help of a large staff, including new hire Callen Skinner. There was another member of the family once: Bodine’s aunt, Alice, who ran off before Bodine was born. She never returned, and the Longbows don’t talk about her much. The younger ones, who never met her, quietly presume she’s dead. But she isn’t. When a bartender leaves the resort late one night, and Bo and Cal discover her battered body in the snow, it’s the first sign that danger lurks in the mountains that surround them. The police suspect Cal, but Bo finds herself trusting him—and turning to him as another woman is murdered and the Longbows are stunned by Alice’s sudden reappearance. The twisted story she has to tell about the past—and the threat that follows in her wake—will test the bonds of this strong family, and thrust Bodine into a darkness she could never have imagined. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. Don’t forget, you can access over 15,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

Country Ski and Mountain Bike area trail. History of the Summit Fire Tower: In 1926, the first of three 60-foot steel fire towers was erected in Allegany State Park. Located at the summit area on the former Parker property on South Mountain, at an elevation of 2,365 feet and 1,000 feet above Red House Lake, the Summit Fire Tower gave visitors a spectacular view of the surrounding area. At the top, visitors were greeted by friendly fire wardens who proudly showed off their maps and fire locating
equipment. A card was awarded to visitors which said, “I climbed the 100 steps of the Allegany State Park Summit Fire Tower.” Abandoned in the early 1970s and replaced by aerial surveillance, only the skeletal frame of the tower remained. In 1999, the Allegany State Park Fire Tower Restoration Committee was formed and over the next few years they restored the tower to allow visitors the opportunity to climb the tower once again. Stone Tower Talk - Sunday 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.: Meet
anytime from 11 a.m. to 12:30pm on Sundays at the Stone Tower (Program Site 17). History of Stone Tower: In June of 1933, Company 249 of the Civilian Conservation Corps (part of FDR’s New Deal) arrived at Allegany State Park whose task was to construct a stone observation tower on the summit of a hill. The men commenced the Stone Tower in October 1933. Their campsite of World War I surplus tents was located just below where the tower now stands. Stone Tower includes a winding staircase leading up to the top deck, which consisted of wooden guardrails. The stone used to build the tower was all collected and cut in Allegany State Park. The octagonal shape tower stands at an elevation of 2,250 feet and overlooks Salamanca to the North and Red House Lake to the South. A carving of an arrow pointing north was etched in the center of its upper deck. The Stone Tower was completed in the spring of 1934. The tower has never been used for anything other than recreational observational tower by park visitors.

Kearns Honored as Bona’s Alumnus of the Year
St. Bonaventure University named Richard P. Kearns, a 1972 graduate of St. Bonaventure, the 2017 William P. “Stax” McCarthy Alumnus of the Year for lifelong service and dedication. The award, named in memory of William “Stax” McCarthy, a 1972 graduate and former annual fund and alumni director, is bestowed annually to a Bona grad who offers continued service to the university and captures the spirit of Saints Francis, Bonaventure and Clare. Kearns is the retired chief administrative officer of Zurich Financial Services Group. “From his time at St. Bonaventure as a student, through decades of volunteer service and philanthropy that continue today, Dick Kearns has served his alma mater with great joy and distinction,” said Joe Flanagan, ’74, director of alumni services. Kearns began his career at Price Waterhouse in 1972
and was admitted to the partnership in 1984. He was appointed leader of Global Partner Affairs following the merger that created PricewaterhouseCoopers in 1998. He joined Zurich’s senior management team in 2002. From then until his retirement in 2011, he was based in Switzerland as Zurich’s chief administrative officer and a member of the Group Management Board. He continues to serve on the Boards and Audit Committees of Zurich’s U.S. subsidiaries. Kearns is an active alumnus, having operated a phonathon from his corporate office in New York following his graduation, as well as hosting alumni gatherings in the New York City area. The university honored him with a metro New York Gaudete Award in 1998. He later became involved with Project Metro, a program that was developed to increase

enrollment and SBU presence in the New York City and Long Island areas and served as a member of the New York City Gaudete Committee (and cochair in 2003). He served as a St. Bonaventure University trustee from 2000 to 2009. He has also been a Class Reunion volunteer, class agent and annual fund volunteer. He was the keynote speaker for the Accountants in Residence program in 2002. His philanthropy matches his volunteer efforts. He is an original member of the athletic Sixth Man Club and a long-time contributor to The Bonaventure Fund. He also supported the School of Business campaign and the 150th Anniversary campaign. Kearns and his wife, Maureen, fund and lead the strategy for the Kearns Global Business Lecture Series at St. Bonaventure. Launched in 2013, the lecture series brings to campus industry leaders who can offer diverse perspectives on global business matters so that students can develop a global mindset as they prepare to enter the work world. Kearns lives with his wife in East Williston, NY They have four grown children and nine grandchildren, and can often be spotted at the family-owned Copperhill restaurant in Long Island.

Heritage Park to be Completed
By Derek M. Otto
The regular meeting of the Village of Springville Board of Trustees was held Monday, June 5 at 7 p.m. Trustee Robert Moriarty and village attorney Paul Weiss were absent. Yvonne Tripi, deputy village attorney, filled in for Weiss. In her report, village administrator Liz Melock asked the board to approve the
lawn mowing bid for distressed properties. Only one bid was returned. Trustee Terry Skelton asked if the bid was much different than last year. Code Enforcement Officer Mike Kaleta replied that it was about the same, with some increase in debris removal. The board moved to accept the bid from Nature’s Pride. In other business, Melock asked that the board formally
move to accept the list of Fire Police for the Springville Fire Department. Chief Klenk presented the list at the May 15 meeting. Melock reported that tax bills have been sent out and are due by July 3rd. She stated that demolition of 110 S. Central will begin June 8, 2017. Superintendent of Public Works Ken Kostnowiak reported that construction on Heritage Park has restarted. The park should be completed in a few weeks. The restrooms will be installed the second week of June. Construction work on the crosswalks on Franklin Street are scheduled for June. Traffic patterns will be disrupted and rerouted. Kostnowiak thanked Chestnut Ridge and Schichtel’s nurseries for the donation of

A LOOK BACK: An Aerial Shot of Smith and Eaton Streets

By Derek M. Otto
This is an aerial photograph of Smith Street looking north to Eaton Street in 1906. Notice the original St. Al’s building in lower left of the picture. The building was moved in 1879 to make way for the large wooden church. It still has the steeple on it. Notice the outhouses behind homes.
The large field at the end of Smith St. became a park. Many events were held there including circuses and the original fireman’s carnivals. (Funny, we just had the Dairy Fest there.) Many of the homes on the north side of Eaton Street were moved from Main Street, when newer larger buildings were built.

Letter from the Editor
The countdown to summer vacation is officially on. As my kids prepare for final exams, I’m dreaming of the non-scheduled days of summer. No making lunches every morning. No driving back and forth to school twice a day. No going back a third time to pick up one of the girls from some after school activity. Sure, there will be some schedules to work around. Work. Soccer. Meals. But other than that, summer is the time of year meant for staying up late, sleeping in late, and filling the time in between with all those things you can’t do during the school year. If you live around here, you’ll know that there are more fun things to fit in than days in the break, but as determined parents, we do our best to get them all in. Check out a concert (there are 50 to choose from in the article on page 1!), send the kids to camp (another article on page 1), visit a new place (page 6 has some ideas) and make your rounds in Springville at the playgrounds, splash pad, community pool, Auction, shops, restaurants and wherever else the long days take you. If you have kids, the next couple weeks are going to be hectic with studying, half days and field trips. But before you know it, summer will be here. Enjoy! - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times and Ellicottville Times

Springville Health & Fitness owner Mary Hannon and her son Patrick in front of the new Gronk rig. By Alicia Dziak
Springville Health & Fitness, located at 243 West Main Street in Springville, is known for its variety of classes, cardio and weight training equipment. Recently, it added something new to its fleet: the Gronk rig. “We are continually trying to up our game,” said Springville Health & Fitness owner Mary Hannon of adding the large piece from G & G Fitness. The Gronk is large enough for several people to work out at a time, and features everything from squat racks, rubberized weights, TRX bands, battle ropes, a jump box and changeable weight racks to monkey bars that run along the top. “We were looking for something to expand what we have and bring in more
people,” Hannon said. “We added kettle bells and now have smash balls.” “We think the Gronk will bring new people in an keep our regular customers interested,” added Mary’s son, Patrick. The Gronk is an impressive size, but no other equipment was removed to accommodate it; instead, other pieces were simply moved elsewhere inside the space. Springville Health & Fitness offers a free equipment review class twice a month, as well as four personal trainers who are equipped to train members on the new machine. Anyone who knows Springville Health & Fitness knows about their continued involvement in the community, and the Hannons regularly support SGI’s sports teams

in many ways. Various teams work out there. They sponsor an SGI Athlete of the Week during sports seasons. And Mary is the President of the Football Fanatics Sports Booster Club, which supports the SGI football program. The Football Fanatics, a non-profit, aims to raise money for various equipment for the SGI football team, and offers other related programs. “Each season, the coaches come to us with a wish list,” explained Mary, who said that past contributions to the program have included things like decals for helmets and uniform additions. The boosters also put on a preseason steak dinner for players and families. “The steak dinners were one of the coolest things (that the boosters did). If you ever needed something, the right people knew about it,” said Patrick of his past experience being on the SGI football team. This week, the Fanatics also hosted a Meet and Greet at Papa Jake’s, where players and parents could talk to coaches and parents could sign up for various volunteer opportunities throughout the season, such as assisting with weekly pasta dinners throughout the season.

Jen’s Quill: Stupid Questions
By Jen Lee
I am concerned for society. I have come to many conclusions over the years, which I base on overheard conversations or experiences. One being that some people believe food poisoning is contagious. I have brilliantly ascertained this knowledge from a question I overheard: “Is food poisoning contagious?” I know what you’re thinking— my powers of deduction are astounding. This is not the first time an adult has asked a stupid question. Yes, there is such a thing as a stupid question. I have sadly asked such questions before, making me concerned not only for society, but also for myself. The thereare-no-stupid-questions thing only pertains to children. Another are-you-seriouslyasking-me-this-question moment happened years ago when I worked at a food joint right out of college. A woman who relayed to me that she was deathly allergic to any kind of seafood asked, “Are there clams in the clam chowder?” Um…even if there wasn’t (?) why do you want to risk it? Instead of asking her this, I had her repeat the question, then called over a manager, informing her I wasn’t 100
percent sure, but probably there were indeed clams in the clam chowder. I asked the manager, “Hey Adam, do you know if there are clams in the clam chowder? This woman is allergic to seafood and needs to know.” Adam was a sport about the whole thing and spoke to the woman like a gentleman, suggesting she should probably steer clear of the clam chowder if she was allergic to sea ood. The woman wisely decided against the clam chowder and I was relieved that I wouldn’t have to call an ambulance for her. She went with the potato soup. I took the high road and refrained from informing her that there were potatoes in the potato soup…I thought it would be nice to let her be surprised. I just hope she wasn’t allergic to potatoes. So yes, I am concerned for society. I want us to be a nation of thinkers…to have common sense. I partially blame commercials for the decline in our ability to think. In a 30-second commercial, you hear the name of the company and the phone number 27 times. It has created lazy people. Our brains have the ability to retain information after one hearing, but since we know we’ll hear it a billion more times, we just don’t bother to pay attention. So I beg you, commercials, stop putting things out there like this: Great Product for you! Just call 555.5555 in the next 10 minutes. That’s 555.5555 for Great Product. Can you believe it? Great Product! Ten minutes! 555.5555. 555.5555. 555.5555. Great Product. This can be yours by calling
in the next 10 minutes. Call 555.5555 for Great Product, you’ll be glad you did…Great Product…555.5555. In closing, I will answer some of life’s most baffling questions for you: • Is pie the same thing as Pi? No. • Is coffee hot? Yes. • Is food poisoning contagious? No. • What is 2+2? 4 • Are there clams in the clam chowder? Stop talking. • If soap gets dropped on the floor is it dirty? No one knows the answer to this question. • Wouldn’t it be wicked awesome if our arms were detachable so we could remove one and lift it up to reach things on the highest shelf in the kitchen without having to go get a chair? Yes, that would be the most amazing thing ever, but unfortunately this is not possible…yet. • Would our lives be more interesting if our heads were attached like that of a bobble head? Our lives would be more frustrating, we would no longer have the ability to stare creepily at anyone, and we probably would get dizzy or have headaches and neck aches. It would, however, be hilarious to watch someone else whose head was attached in such a way. • Why is it that every construction site has 83 men standing around talking while two other men shift piles of dirt from one side of the site to the other? Because they can. If anyone has any other hard questions about this life feel free to ask me, I will be happy to answer. And remember, Great Product…555.5555.

Sky Lanterns Not Permitted in NYS
Sky Lanterns are impressive to watch as they drift away into the night sky. Many people are unaware of the potentially fatal consequences the releasing of sky lanterns can have for wildlife and other animals. The metal can land in a hay field to be unexpectedly bailed up, given to livestock which can cut the livestock’s mouth as they feed on the hay. Other
wildlife has been known to get tangled up in this wire. These devices act like a small hot air balloon causing the lantern to rise. The lantern can unexpectedly settle on the ground, become trapped in a tree or land on a roof and create a serious fire/safety hazard. Due to international fire codes, they are banned in 29 states including New York State.
The Office of Fire Prevention and Control say they meet the definition of Recreational Fires, as defined in Section 302.1 of the Fire Code and consequently, these devices require constant attendance as required in Section 307.5 of the Fire Code. Sky lanterns cannot be constantly attended and thus present a violation of the Fire Code of New York State.

SCA Milky Awards
Springville Center for the Arts will be taking a moment to mention, honor, and thank the exceptional volunteers who are the recipients for this year’s Milky Awards at the 8th Annual Gala and Mini-Golf Tournament on June 10. The Milky Awards have been a tradition for several years at the Arts Center; an opportunity to recognize the best of the best when it comes to their volunteers and supporters. With Springville being a hub for agriculture and dairy, the award was named “The Milky.” Awardees are given an etched glass milk bottle. This year, Springville Center for the Arts acknowledges Gerry Hashagen, Karyn Hanrahan, and the Thursday Morning Volunteer Crew: Billy Huggins, Bill McGirr, Rich Myers, Jim Palys, Brian Schuster, and Mark Stevens. Gerry Hashagen is known as the Art Center’s stalwart volunteer. As Chair of the Presentation Committee and volunteer at almost every concert the Center has produced, Gerry is a critical component of the local arts scene. Karyn Hanrahan became an assistant for Spark!, the
Center’s creativity program for preschoolers this past year. Formerly working in finance, she made a life change when her twin daughters were born. Helping with this program every week, she was described by staff with one word, “indispensable.” The Thursday Morning Crew, Billy Huggins, Bill McGirr, Rich Myers, Jim Palys, Brian Schuster, and Mark Stevens, arrive at the Arts Center every Thursday morning ready to work on renovation projects. Through their consistent efforts, the Center completed large bathrooms which will open for the first time at the Gala. Many contributed to the work but these volunteers
deserve special recognition for tenacious approach. Springville Center for the Arts has grown significantly as an organization through the hard work, support, and dedication of volunteers. The Milky Awards give an opportunity for the Board and Staff to formally recognize these efforts. Join Springville Center for the Arts’ Gala on Saturday, June 10th starting at 6:00pm, located at 37 North Buffalo Street, Springville. The awards ceremony, where the Milky Awards will be presented, will occur on the main stage at 8:15pm. Tickets are available by visiting SpringvilleArts.org or by calling (716)592-9038.

Art, Music and Summer Fun at the Chautauqua Institution By Jessie Schwartz
Chautauqua Institution is bustling with final preparations and getting ready to welcome over 100,000 visitors from around the world over its nine-week-long 2017 Summer Season, June 24-Aug. 27th. What began over 140 years ago as a vacation learning place for Sunday School teachers has evolved into an incredibly unique and eclectic town centering around lectures and distinguished speakers on topics currently shaping and influencing our world. Nine U.S. Presidents have spoken at Chautauqua— it is where FDR delivered his “I Hate War” speech in 1836, and President Clinton spent a week at the historic Athenaeum Hotel at Chautauqua in preparation for his debate with Bob Dole. Notable recent speakers include Jane Goodall, Tom Brokaw, Kurt Vonnegut and Julie Andrews. Chautauqua is a vibrant and rich summer community that is dedicated to arts, education, religion, and recreation & youth. “Walk around and take it all in, this place is special, it touches your soul,” says Karen Williams, Director of Guest Experience. Chautauqua encompasses both privately-owned homes and several buildings, accommodations and venues that are managed and overseen by the Institution’s Board of Directors. “We are currently undergoing a $33 million renovation of the Athenaeum” notes Williams. Slated concert performers coming to Chautauqua’s open-air 4,000 seat Amphitheater include Sheryl Crow, Aretha Franklin, The Beach Boys and Chick Corea Elektric Band/Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. Most people come for a
week-long stay when visiting Chautauqua with each week centering around a general theme. Some of this year’s include “The Human Journey,” “Geopolitics Today and Global Peacemaking” and “Comedy and the Human Condition.” There is something for everyone at Chautauqua and visitors are encouraged to have an open mind and passionate spirit of inquisition and exploration. The Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra (CSO) and Chautauqua Opera Company, both founded in 1929, showcase and draw talent from around the globe. According to Williams, “Chautauqua is ranked third in the world for its musical programming” and a much-sought experience for both seasoned and up and coming performers, directors, writers and producers alike. In July, the opera L’Orfeo will make its U.S. stage premiere and Hydrogen Jukebox by Phillip Glass and Allen Ginsberg will be featured later in the month. Visual Arts programs are also strong at Chautauqua and this year the Chautauqua Theatre Company will showcase Michael Frayn’s Noises Off, Dominique Morisseau’s Detroit ’67 and William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Chautauqua’s Department of Religion coordinates daily sermons across 16 denominations that represent Abrahamic faiths, as well as others, to encourage mutual respect, understanding and a multi-faith community environment. There are Christian, Jewish, Muslim and other major-faith scholars and practitioners featured at Chautauqua. Chautauqua offers many options for kids of all ages. Most participate in Children’s School (3-5 years old) and Group One (for students preparing to enter 1st grade in the fall) where developmentally enriching activities are available that encourage friend and relationship building that often lasts beyond the grounds of Chautauqua. The Boys’ and Girls’ Club for children 7-15
years old offers nature studies, arts, kayaking, swimming and sailing and there are Youth Centers for older teens and young adults that provide an informal social gathering place. Chautauqua has several shops, restaurants, a full Library that is open year-round and Post Office on the grounds. There are three beaches in addition to the dramatic buildings and architecture throughout. Chautauqua is a walkable/bikeable community that is meant to be explored with narrow paved streets and amazing Victorian homes and Inns available for stays. There is a bus and tram that run around the grounds daily. Other accommodations include hotels, single and multi-family homes and condos; singlenight stays are also available. Details, pricing and more information are available at reservations.ciweb.org or by calling 716.357.6200. Day visit/Gate Passes are available and include most activities offered at Chautauqua; single opera and theater ticket prices vary. There are no gate fees charged on Sundays and Active Duty Military receive free passes as do those under 12 or over 90 years old. Community Appreciation Nights are offered throughout the season with $20 Nights at the Amp performances scheduled. The ticket office is available at 716.357.6250 or on the web at chqtickets.com and full information on all Chautauqua Institute has to offer is available at the Main Gate Welcome Center, staffed by Chautauqua County Visitors Bureau (716.357.4569) as well as a Customer Service and Information Desk (716.357.6263).

Meet Mayson
Adorable and Adoptable Mayson is truly an awesome dog. He is so short and stocky-you can’t help but love him! He is always happy and wears the biggest smile you can imagine! Mayson will play great with other dogs. He is unsure of cats. He wants to play with them but they usually do not want to reciprocate. Mayson is only about 2 years old. He is in excellent health and he has been fully vetted. This canine would love to have a true best friend. Might that be you? Email empirerescue@gmail.com for an application. Check out all the animals EARS has up for adoption at www.empire.petfinder.com or find them on Facebook.
trees. Two dozens trees were donated and have been planted throughout the village. He also interviewed six applicants to replace Senior Clerk Typist Joni Wilson, who is retiring. He asked the board to appoint Karen Yormick. The board approved her for a six-month probationary appointment starting June 12, 2017. He then asked the board to approve the bid opened June 1, 2017 for the Auna Actuators to R, M. Headlee Co. of Orchard Park for valves used to regulate water flow. Officer in Charge Nick Budney reported that for the month of May, Springville Police responded to 170 calls, 1,840 patrol hours with 42 shifts. He noted that traffic patrols were up 51 percent from this time last year. He noted that the Erie County Sheriffs responded to 457 calls. Budney stated that he went to the annual Stop DWI
recognition dinner in May. Springville Policeman George Avery was recognized for his success in DWI enforcement. This was the eighth award that Avery has received in his 20year career. He was pleased to say that the Springville Police Department has moved to its new station in 65 Franklin. Kaleta asked the board to look into changing the language in Chapter 73 of village code. Currently, the language allows the code enforcement officer’s discretion in determining reasonable time to remedy code violations. New York has passed a law that is now in effect that states that reasonable time is 30 days. Kaleta asked that the wording in the code be in line with the state law. In trustee notes, Nils Wikman commented that he had an ice cream cone at the Springville Dairy. He said it was good to see the business opening again and that the Robinsons have done a good
job at getting the Dairy opened again. Mayor Krebs added that the business was a recipient of the New York Main program, that has allowed for some of the rebirth of Springville’s Main Street. Both Krebs and Wikman commented on the success on the 29th annual Dairy Fest. Wikman said he had seen the treasurer of the Dairy Fest who declared that it was one of the best years yet for the committee. In new business, Mayor Krebs asked the board to approve a resolution to the NYS assembly and Senate in support of changing the time in which properties with back taxes can be foreclosed on by the county. The resolution is in support of changing time from two years to one year. The next meeting of the Village of Springville board is June 19 at 7 p.m. at 65 Franklin Street, Springville.

Classified Ads WNY STEM Girls Coding Project
By the year 2020, it’s estimated that only 3 percent of the 1.4 million computer science jobs in the United States will be held by women. The Girls Coding Project wants to change that. The Girls Coding Project is a two-week learning experience for girls entering the 6th through 12th grades in the fall, organized by WNY STEM in collaboration with AT&T, Girl Scouts of WNY and SUNY Buffalo State. Sessions will be held July 17-28 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the SUNY Buffalo State Technology Building, home of the college’s Computer Information Systems Department. “AT&T is excited to collaborate with the WNY STEM Hub, SUNY Buffalo State, and Girl Scouts of WNY to continue to support the region’s only all girls coding camp, and to build off of its extraordinary success from last year,” said Marissa Shorenstein, New York president, AT&T. This is the second year of this initiative. 2016’s It’s Your World! Develop It! Powered by AT&T introduced girls to computer coding, and continued into the fall of 2016 and winter of 2017. Shorenstein said, “We are committed to helping to bridge the gender gap in STEM related fields by equipping girls with technology literacy and education and providing opportunities that will empower them with the skills and confidence to compete in the global innovation economy.” The Girls Coding Project will give up to 30 girls from local middle and high schools an opportunity to learn coding skills and introduce them to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) career paths with an emphasis on computer science. “The inaugural year of this project was so successful in changing girls’ confidence, attitudes, and skills about computer science that we are repeating the summer experience in 2017,” said Michelle Kavanaugh,
Ed.D., WNY STEM president. “The girls surprised themselves at how much they could do to affect the world around them through coding. One project actually led to a Family Support app that will provide childcare resources for families. This is real-world STEM learning.” Girls will be guided by campus professors, area tech professionals, educators, and advocates. During the program, girls will work individually and in teams to learn language used in coding apps, creating digital storyboards, producing animated movies, making learning games, or building basic websites. App Developers and women mentors will introduce the girls to entrepreneurship, leadership development, and the wide range of career pathways available to a computer scientist and skilled computer coder. “Girls’ exposure to STEM programs and career opportunities are critical to help bridge the leadership gaps for girls in STEM,” said Judith Cranston, CEO of Girl Scouts of Western New York. “We are proud to partner with WNY STEM, AT&T, Buffalo State, and others on the Girls Coding Program. These types of focused collaborative initiatives are what will help girls realize the unlimited potential they have in STEM career fields.” SUNY Buffalo State President Katherine ConwayTurner said, “Buffalo State is proud to once again host The Girls Coding Project. We look forward to welcoming another group of future female STEM leaders to campus later this summer. I applaud WNY STEM, the Girl Scouts of Western New York, AT&T, and the faculty in Buffalo State’s Computer Information Systems Department for providing this wonderful opportunity.” Registration is modestly priced at $25 to reduce any economic barrier. To register, girls and their parents must visit www.gswny.org/en/ events-repository/2017/ coding_day_camp.html.

On June 3, the Springville Dairy celebrated its grand opening. Mayor Krebs, Village Administrator Liz Melock and Alma Brown of Clinton Brown Architecture, PC joined owners Bruce and Emily Robinson, their children and staff members for the ribbon cutting. The ribbon was cut by Emily’s mother, Rebecca Waniak, who Emily said was the driving force behind getting the Dairy opened.
