Arboretum Walk Sept. 25
If you’ve never visited Ellicottville’s Nannen Arborteum, or even if you’re a regular who’s looking for another excuse to go and learn more, now’s your chance. On Sunday, Sept. 25, stop by for a free guided walk through this hidden gem. To help kick off the season, the walk is a chance for visitors to explore and learn about the arboretum, with volunteers on hand to answer questions and share interesting facts. The developer of the Arboretum, John Ploetz, enjoyed unique trees and made sure to showcase them at the Nannen Arboretum, which is now home to some species visitors won’t see anywhere else in the area. Guests will enjoy walking through the crab apple and evergreen collections, where they can learn about the different varieties of trees. Next, visitors will head to the Carolyn Lowe See Arboretum page 10

Ellicottville Town Board Awards Water Station Contract By Dave Dahl
A company has been chosen to rebuild a 35-year-old water booster pump station in the Town of Ellicottville. Town Board members unanimously selected STC Construction of Springville on Wednesday night to work on Booster Station No. 1 on
Holiday Valley Road. The company submitted the lowest of four bids at $142,400. “We were all happy with the bids that came in,” said Mark Alianello, town engineer. Officials expect the project to be finished by June 30. Board members also
awarded a contract to Nussbaumer & Clarke Engineers and Surveyors to design specifications for a heating, ventilation and air conditioning project in the Town and Village Hall. The town will pay the Buffalo-based firm $8,950 to See Town Board page 10
Mansfield Board Overrides Tax Cap, Proposing 7.8 Percent Increase By Jann Wiswall
Photo Ellicottville Sports Boosters
See ECS Sports page 4
The Mansfield board passed a resolution to override the NY State tax levy limit, which gives the town the ability, if it chooses, to propose a 2017 budget that exceeds the state’s recommended 2 percent tax cap. While this has been referred to as a 2 percent cap, after
adjusting for the Consumer Price Index, it is in reality a 0.68 percent cap in the 2017 fiscal year, according to State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The board passed the largely administrative action following a public hearing on the matter. There were no comments from the public. The roll call vote
to pass the resolution was 4-1; board member Greg Meyer voted “nay.” The board also passed a local resolution put forth by the Cattaraugus County that qualifies certain incomequalified senior citizens for partial property tax exemptions. That resolution also passed by See Mansfield Board page 6

Ellicottville Sound Chorus
Preps for Competition, Seeks New Members By Alicia Dziak
Are you a guy who likes to sing? Here’s your chance to be part of something fun and musical. The Ellicottville Sound Chorus is busy preparing for the upcoming season and you can be a part of it! After performing at the Chautauqua Institute in August, the Ellicottville Sound chorus, a mens-only a cappella group, has been continuing to work hard on a new piratethemed program that they will be performing in competition on Oct. 1. In preparation of the competition, and in honor of this week’s “Talk Like a Pirate Day,â€? the group performed ash-mob style at the Gin Mill this week, to help get everyone comfortable with the new material and with performing in front of a crowd. The upcoming competition will be held in Rochester, and the chorus will be competing against several other groups in the region, from places as far as Watertown and Binghamton. Following the competition, the chorus will be once again be seeking new members, as

they often do in their weekly meetings. “We hold open auditions ever week,� said Susan Berenguer, chorus coach, whose husband, Skip, is the director. Of the songs they perform, Berenguer said, “We do songs other choruses don’t do. We pick unique arrangements,� adding that “this is not your grandfather’s barbershop quartet.� The current chorus is made up of men from diverse backgrounds, from Olean,
Frewsburg, Franklinville, Ellicottville and everywhere in between. Come October, the chorus will prepare for the holiday season, where they plan to perform during the Christmas Stroll, and throughout the Village on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. The chorus meets Monday evenings at 7 p.m. at the United Church of Ellicottville. For more info, email skipjjd@aol. com or call Pat Close at (716) 912-4795.

The players showed a lot of resolve and put together a great fourth quarter to help seal the victory.” The Titans were led offensively by junior Brock Blecha (pictured right) who had over 300 yards total and Griffin Chudy with over 100 offensive yards and 10 tackles. The JV F-E Titans defeated the Bears on Monday night in a convincing 32-14 victory. The Titans face the Randolph Cardinals on Friday, Sept. 23 in Randolph at 7 p.m. in a key league matchup.

Little Eagles No. 29 Josh Auman (Pee Wee)
Ellicottville Eagles Triumph Over Seneca Sachems
By Stephanie Timblin
The Ellicottville Little Eagles Midget and Pee Wee football teams squeezed in two exciting football games on Saturday, Sept. 17 between torrential down pours and high winds while traveling to Irving, NY to face the Seneca Sachems. Mark Chudy, head coach, and his pee wee team overcame a slow start and a tough Sachems team to win 21-6. With a dominant second half performance by the Eagles lineman Christopher Calarco, Noah Morlock, Isiah Ploetz, Jadon Schoepflin, and Cole
Urbanski, the team was able to adjust and put forth a great team effort. Touchdowns were recorded by Owen Chudy, Hunter Smith, and Josh Auman. Extra point conversions were put in by Josh Auman and David Thompson. The Midgets bounced back from the previous week’s painful loss to the Franklinville Panthers and stepped up to the week five challenge in a 27-2 victory. Touchdowns were scored by Leif Jimerson and Clayton Rowland, along with two big defensive touchdowns from Brett Kryniski, his career first off of a blocked punt by

Pet Dental Health
Dr. Sheila Fitzpatrick with daughter Christina
By Sheil a Fitzpatric k, DVM
September is dental awareness month in our veterinary practice. It’s a time we offer free dental examinations, as well as discounted dental procedures. So many folks ask me, “Why do I need to have my pets teeth cleaned?” There are many reasons to
have your pet’s teeth cleaned, just like your own. First, have you noticed that your pet has bad breath? Bad breath can be an early indicator of a broken, abscessed or diseased tooth, as well as diseased gums. By cleaning the teeth, we are able to identify pockets between the gums and the tooth, as well as resorptive lesions, which are similar to our human cavities. Second, dental disease can cause more major systemic disease if not addressed, as many nasty bacteria can enter the blood stream through the mouth and go to the organs, causing diseases like early kidney failure and even endocarditis in the heart. By cleaning the teeth, again, we identify problems before they get so bad that your pet is in an irreversible state of disease. Third, did you know that periodontal disease can set in a pet’s mouth as early as a
year old? This is because pets cannot brush their own teeth. By cleaning your pet’s teeth, you remove that heavy plaque that harbors bacteria, and can clean up under the gums, to prevent periodontal disease from progressing. Fourth, your pets are very stoic. They do not show pain. Many pets have very loose, diseased teeth far in the back of their mouth that you cannot identify with just a physical examination. With your pet sedated during a dental procedure, we are able to deep clean all the teeth and again probe for pockets, in addition to taking dental radiographs, which will for sure identify those painful, problem teeth your pet cannot tell you about! This September, think about scheduling a dental exam with your veterinarian. Ask about teeth cleaning, and if the time is right, schedule that cleaning and keep your pets healthy!

Mansfield Board Continued from front page
a roll-call vote of 4-1 after a public hearing; Meyer voted against the measure. The board was unanimous, however, in agreeing that the 2017 budget must exceed the .68 percent tax cap. As reported at the August board meeting, Town Supervisor Bob Keis noted that the entire budget for the town and highway department is about $1.1 million, and only a little over half of those revenues come from property taxes. A .68 percent tax increase would yield only $3,000 or $4,000 in new revenues. That will not even cover increases in employee health insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, highway department materials or other costs that are out of the town’s control. At the same time, 2016 has seen lower revenues from sales taxes, mortgage taxes and other sources. A bigger challenge, Keis explained, is the need to address the state’s assessment of the municipality as being “fiscally stressed.” This comes from the fact that the town does not have the recommended 15-20 percent of its budget in a fund balance. With a $1.1 million budget, the state recommends having $165,000$220,000 in the bank. Mansfield currently has
only about $10,000 in the fund balance. The town’s low fund balance is due to a number of factors, most notably the long- and short-term expenses incurred as a result of the 2012 highway barn fire, but also the fact that the town has kept its effective tax rate low in the hopes that HoliMont’s WestMont Ridge would have generated new property tax revenues by now. The 2016 tax rate in the town of Mansfield is $4.73/$1,000 in property value. A resident whose home is assessed at $100,000 paid $473 in taxes to Mansfield in 2016. For 2017, the board is proposing to increase the rate to $5.10/$1000, a 7.8 percent increase. If approved, that same resident will pay $510 ($37 more) in 2017. The increase will boost revenues by $54,000 to the town, which will make up for the lost sales and mortgage tax revenues, increase the fund balance by $10,000, provide a 1 percent salary increase for some town employees and cover inflationary cost increases for materials and supplies. Keis originally proposed a 3 percent salary increase for the Highway Superintendent in an effort to get his salary more in line with neighboring municipalities’

superintendents. Some board members felt that, with a significant tax increase, “this is not the year to give 3 percent.” Others pointed out that the actual dollars are an insignificant portion of the whole. The board finally agreed on a 1.5 percent increase – a difference of about $800. Board members also looked at the possibility of eliminating the town’s $1,500 annual contribution to the Little Valley pool, which allows Mansfield residents to swim for free. There was also a suggestion from one board member to eliminate or reduce the town’s $1,000 annual contributions to each of the Little Valley and Ellicottville libraries. Several members asked Keis to research how many residents actually use the pool benefit. Most members agreed that the library contributions should not be adjusted. While the board will continue to look for savings over the next month, it was decided that the tentative budget can be presented to residents as the preliminary budget with minor adjustments. A public hearing on the budget will be held at the next meeting scheduled for Monday, Oct. 17 at 7 p.m. in the town hall.

New Pilates Class at Core Performance
By Kim Duke NETA & AAFA Cer tified Trainer
Core Performance Fitness and Training is thrilled to announce our newest instructor, Monica Castillo Mengotti from Madrid, Spain. Monica and her husband Javier ,along with their son, moved here two years ago. Monica owned her own Pilates studio in Spain and is excited to share her knowledge, experience and
enthusiasm for Pilates with us at Core Performance. Pilates a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. He developed a system of exercises, which were intended to strengthen the human mind and body. Pilates believed that mental and physical health were interrelated According to Wikipedia- in his book Return to Life through Contrology, Joseph Pilates presents his method as the art of controlled movements, which should look and feel like a workout (not a therapy) when properly manifested. If practiced with consistency, Pilates improves flexibility, builds strength and develops control and endurance in the entire body. It puts emphasis on alignment, breathing, developing a strong core, and improving coordination and balance. The core, consisting
of the muscles of the abdomen, low back, and hips, is often called the “powerhouse” and is thought to be the key to a person’s stability. Pilates’ system allows for different exercises to be modified in range of difficulty from beginner to advanced or to any other level, and also in terms of the instructor and practitioner’s specific goals and/or limitations. Intensity can be increased over time as the body conditions and adapts to the exercises. Classes will be offered every Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 a.m. in October. Pricing varies from $70 for 8 classes to $60/ person for 8 classes if you and a friend sign up together. Monica will be offering a FREE CLASS on Friday, Sept. 30 at 8:30 a.m. To register for this class, call or text (716) 698-1198.
Volunteers Invited to Join Audubon’s Roadside Cleanup The Audubon Nature Center has adopted a section of Route 62 to pick up litter along the side of the road.

will be the distillery manager and in charge of most of the day-to-day operations, Charlie Bares, who owns the farm most of the products will be grown on, and Kathleen Moriarty, attorney and “silent partner.” “Distilleries are up and coming businesses in New York, and we’re using all New York state products,” Moriarty explained. The trio calls their union on the venture fate. Bares and Moriarty were interested in opening a distillery, and then heard that Scharf, who had distilling experience, had a building available that would be able to house the distillery. Scharf described the building, located at 5462 Robbins Road, as “an industrial building with high ceilings that’s good for manufacturing.” The building itself has a unique local history. Originally owned by Billy Northrup, it was used for many things over the years, including a place to tear down and rebuild train cars and a machine shop, among others. Scharf’s family purchased the building about 10 years ago, and it’s been vacant for the last two. The space, located near Ashford Junction (where Route 240 meets Route 242) had to be completely renovated to make way for the distillery. “We had to add new electric and water, repaint the floor, install new lighting, and make it handicap accessible,” stated Scharf. “It’s still a work in progress, and we’re currently finishing the
bar area.” The corner stone of the operation is a 500-gallon copper pot still custom made in Germany. The 40-by-60 feet wide-open floor plan also features an upstairs mezzanine for bottles and storage, fermentors downstairs, a bottling and labeling area, and a retail space. In the retail area, tasting flights and cocktails will be available, and customers will be able to purchase a bottle of vodka or whisky. Currently, the distillery is producing an apple vodka, sourced locally by Mayer Bros., a corn vodka and a corn whisky. The Agronomist, as the line of spirits are called, “comes from the word agronomy and is loosely defined as the science of producing and using plants for food,” explained Moriarty. What makes this concept
unique is that Bares is an agronomist. Starting late this fall, Bares will be harvesting his own grains. “Among hundreds of distilleries nationwide—most of which buy grain—we will be one of a small handful who actually grow their own inputs. This really sets us apart from the pack,” Moriarty said. Looking to the future, Scharf hopes to add other products to the mix. “I’m currently working on gin and honey spirits,” he noted. Getting ready to open was not an overnight process. “It’s taken a while because of the lead time on the equipment,” said Scharf. “There’s also a big learning curve on this new endeavor for all of us.” Moriarty added that, “We had to apply for a federal liquor license, as well as a state one,” and that also took time. In addition to being available in the distillery itself, the partners want to focus on building their brand, and see their products being available at other local bars and restaurants, as well as in liquor stores. The Ellicottville Distillery is set to open Sept. 30. While Scharf will be there working most days, it be open to the public Fridays, 4 to 8 p.m., Saturdays, 1 to 7 p.m. and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. The web site is still a work in progress, but will soon be available for more info at www. ellicottvilledistillery.com.

A decade ago, kidnappers grabbed two boys from wealthy families and demanded ransom, then went silent. No trace of the boys ever surfaced. For ten years their families have been left with nothing but painful memories and a quiet desperation for the day that has finally, miraculously arrived: Myron Bolitar and his friend Win believe they have located one of the boys, now a teenager. Where has he been for ten years, and what does he know about the day, more than half a life ago, when he was taken? And most critically: What can he tell Myron and Win about the fate of his missing friend? Drawing on his singular talent, Harlan Coben delivers an explosive and deeply moving thriller about friendship, family, and the meaning of home. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library. It is also available as a large print book using our interlibrary loan program. Don’t forget, you can access over 14,400 eBooks and eAudiobooks using your library card!

An option officials may consider involves installing a heat pump to bring in outdoor air. Supervisor Matthew McAndrew expressed a concern about that possibility. He cited a previous discussion

Safety Concerns Prominent in Revised Capital Project
By Ashlee O akley
On Sept. 20, 2016, the Board of Education of SpringvilleGriffith Institute CSD met at 7 p.m. in the Springville-GI high school library media center. BOE President, Allison Duwe, called the special public information meeting to discuss the revised Capital Project referendum to order, and requested that the board and attendees stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Other present board members were Jennifer Sullivan (Board Vice President), Elizabeth Casey, Michael Connors, and Student Representative Isobel Hooker, a senior at Springville-GI
high school. Superintendent Kimberly Moritz, District Business Administrator Maureen Lee, and District Clerk Kathy Tucker were also present. Special guest collaborators on the revised Capital Project were also in attendance: District Director of Buildings and Grounds Larry Strauss, along with Scott Jones and Jeff Nunn from architectural firm Gordon W. Jones Associates, A.I.A. (American Institute of Architects) of Williamsville, as well as Nick Humphrey and John Ticco, representing Campus Construction Management Group, also of Williamsville. Moritz also offered Lee’s expertise as the district’s business manager to help answer any questions specific to the district’s finances. In December 2015, the proposed Capital Project was defeated 81 percent to 19 percent. Moritz mentioned
with candor that this would not have been preferred as one of her first substantial tasks; however, after looking at the project, and recognizing urgent needs within the district— additionally noting how long it takes to get state education aid approval— she feels strongly that we, as a community, cannot afford to wait. Moritz affirms, “We have worked really hard to make this project much more affordable.” Looking at exit poll information, representatives were asked from every town in the district to work on a Facilities Committee. Moritz imparts, “When people had concerns and told us things, we went back to the drawing board, and reduced the cost. We took out items that taxpayers have said loud and clear: ‘We cannot support that.’” The district is required by the state to do a building conditions survey every five See Capital Project page 6
Monumental 40 -7 Victory for SGI Griffins over Pioneer

On the recent cemetery tour in Maplewood cemetery, I noticed one of the more interesting monuments there. The General John B. Wadsworth monument is very unique. According the description in Briggs History of the Original Town of Concord 1883, the monument stands 31 feet and six inches above ground. It was manufactured by Rose and Lautz of Buffalo and is composed of Maine granite. Not only is it a monument to the Wadsworth family, it is to freemasonry with its symbols and emblems. On the north side the inscription reads: “In memory of Gen. John B. Wadsworth, son of Richard, born in Buffalo, NY, 1823, Dec. 26. Died in Springville, NY, 1877, Nov. 7. After extensive travels in the four quarters of the globe he came to the home of his youth to die here and rest by the side of his parents. His respect for his ancestors incited him to provide for the erection of this family monument.” The west side of the monument memorializes the Wadsworth family’s role in saving the Connecticut Charter in the bottom of an oak tree. “Memorialized Hon. William Wadsworth came from England 1632, settled in Hartford Conn, 1636 and died there 1675. Captain Joseph Wadsworth, son of William.

Griffins Victory Over Pioneer Continued from front page
greet the spectators as we all entered Pop Warner field to watch our beloved Springville Griffins. With a record of 1-1, Springville was coming off of a gut-wrenching, one-point loss to Section 6 AA Frontier. As the team began to warm up prior to kickoff, it was clear the Griffins had a mutual chip on their shoulder. While the opponent gathered in various clusters, awaiting individual announcement of the defensive starters, the boys in purple and gold looked on together, arms locked in unison as they were to be announced as a team. Both teams stood proud, along with the attending spectators and staff, for a beautiful singing of our national anthem. As the players took the field for opening kickoff, the stadium lights gleamed, and a full harvest moon helped paint the dimming sky. Pioneer’s Panthers were the opponent saddled with the task of having to compete with the recently scorned Griffins squad, making the short drive down Route 39 from Arcade. The Panthers had entered the evening coming off a 50-43 victory against East Aurora, and had reason to be hopeful. Their game plan seemed to be run-heavy, much like the Griffins, but the results would be far different. Pioneer won the coin toss, and the Griffins took over from there. The Griffs scored three touchdowns on their first three drives, and added six more points with successful conversion Experience the attempts. Soon after, Ian Baker tackled a Panther in the Emerling Difference! opponent’s end zone, adding two more points. The first half ended with Springville up 26-0, with FB/LB No. 24 Ian Baker accounting for all of the points on the board.
Go Griffins!

Pioneer was incapable of getting the run game going, due to some stout defensive efforts by various Springville players. One particularly outstanding Griffin this evening, was OL/DL No. 70 Austin Coon, with numerous hits on run attempts up the middle. These plays sent loud cheering from the home team echoing throughout the field, and the opponent coaches decided to recalculate their strategy. The defensive line play in this game was top notch for the Griffins, and made it nearly impossible for Pioneer to drive past mid field. RB/DB No. 23 Marcus James displayed speed and quickness that was unmatched by any player on the field. OL/DL No. 35 Lexus Pollard got a sack, and was a constant nuisance to the opponent, easily controlling one or more blockers at a time. In total, Baker had four rushing touchdowns, multiple tackles, and an onside kick that utilized his collegiate leg strength, blasting the kick directly into an unsuspecting Panther player, the football bouncing free for the Griffs to recover. Everything went right for the Griffins under the lights on Friday evening, except for a trick play by Pioneer, which led to Panthers WR throwing a 70+ yard touchdown. The Springville Griffins varsity football team concluded the match with a 40-7 victory, and are now 2-1, and 2-0 in league play. Next on the Griffins schedule is away; on Friday, Sept. 23, they will be facing the Olean Huskies at Bradner Stadium, starting at 7 p.m. Springville’s triple-option offense will have their hands full in this game, as the Huskies are 3-0 and have only surrendered 26 points total from their first three games. This game will be a big test for the team and a win will certainly continue to put this season on the right track.

Coaches’ Corner
Varsity Football, coach Eric Jantzi, assistant coach Rob Valenti Last week, the varsity football team hosted next door neighbor Pioneer in an early season battle for first place in the division. The contest was over early as the Griffins went into halftime with a 26-0 lead. The first half was led by senior Ian Baker who had three touchdown runs, two 2-point conversion runs and a safety. The second half started much like the first half, with Baker taking it in for his final score of the evening. Pioneer would not surrender and completed a 73-yard “double pass” for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage after the Baker touchdown. Springville QB Connor O’Brien would cap off the scoring early in the fourth to make the final score Springville 40 and Pioneer 7. Senior Marcus James had 12 carries for 84 yards and scored on two 2- point conversions. He and his brother, Lexus Pollard, combined for four receptions for 64 yards on the night, all of them coming from O’Brien. The Griffins defense was swarming to the ball all night and held Pioneer to just 33 plays and 63 yards rushing in the game (compared to 60 and 372 for GI). Juniors Scott Bove and Andrew Lazarus were in on several defensive plays during the contest. Senior John Domes also led the charge with some very punishing hits in the backfield. The Griffins will travel to Olean Friday night at 7 p.m. to take on the undefeated Huskies in yet another battle for first place. Varsity Cross Country, coach Chad Russell, assistant coach Steven Dillsworth This week, the girl’s cross country team faced their first and probably toughest league opponent and came away with a win 27-28 (low score wins) against Alden. The girls won by one point. Elle Russell and Sonya Krezmein lead the team and were followed by Morgan Lukert and Samantha Fruehauf. After they finished the score was at a dead tie. Gwen Fruehauf ran a very gutsy race beating Alden’s 5th runner to seal the win in what should be a division winning season. Gabbey Pfeifer ran an awesome race for 6th on our strong team. The boys team fought hard and raced well but lost to Alden 18-37. Nick Abdo and Kurt Uschold ran very strong performances and lead the guys team. Zack Peterman, Nathan Myers and Brett Russell raced hard and completed the team scoring for the Griffs. They guys team has a very strong pack of freshman and sophomores and they continue to become stronger. Girls Varsity Volleyball, coach Kristin Hughey The girls varsity volleyball team beat Pioneer last week in a long 5-game match. Devyn Rowe debuted as libero specializing in defense. Sarah Zimmer stepped into a strong offensive position to pull the Griffs out of a slump early in the match. Zimmer had four kills and eight assists. Meadow Wittman brought the team back from a deficit in game four with strong serving, and set up Caroline Roy for 5 kills. Meadow ripped 10 aces in a row in game five to give Springville a huge lead which lead to the match victory. Great playing by all! The Lady Griffs also beat Holland this week in a quick match winning 3-0. This brings their winning league record up to 3-1 so far this season. Captains Chloe Wnuk, Sarah Zimmer and Lexi Sopko lead their team to victory with powerful hitting! Lexi served 4 aces in game two. Middle hitters Caroline Roy and Gabby Nichols had a total of 7 kills, while Rosati played solid defense with 12 assists. Girls Varsity Soccer, coach Eric Holler The girls went 2-0 last week, when they defeated Lackawanna with a score of 13-0. Jena Schelble led the scoring efforts with four goals and one assist, followed by Courtney Lazarus and Jenasis Fisher with two goals each. Goals were also scored by Jocelyn Jenis, Grace Zabawa, Nyah Solly, Gabby Wnuk, and Talia Mangano. Carrie Dickinson maintained a clean sheet in net. Springville also defeated Lake Shore in a 2-1 victory, with goals by Jenasis Fisher and Grace Zabawa. This week, Springville defeated Eden 3-1. Goals were scored by Kelsey Zabawa (2) and Leah Frank, with Grace Zabawa adding one assist. Carrie Dickinson had six saves. The girls are now 4-2 overall. Girls JV Volleyball, coach Robert Gainey The JV girls volleyball team traveled to Cleve Hill on Friday night and came out with a resounding 3-0 win. The girls dominated the first game going up 10-0 behind the excellent serving of Ivette Lewandowski. Morgan Christ was also very good in that game at the net. Game two was much closer but the girls hung on for the win. Mary DiGangi made some solid plays at the net and Erica Tyler had some great passes from the back row to help transition the offense. The girls finished the sweep with strong play from Marin Lehr and Ashley Blesy. The girls have a tournament this Saturday and return to league play on Thursday when they travel to Eden. The team is currently 5-0

Girls Modified Soccer, coach Alicia Dziak The girls lost a tough game to East Aurora on Monday, Sept. 19. Despite their best efforts, the girls gave up three goals off corner kicks and a fourth late in the game, resulting in a 4-0 loss. Strong defensive play was put in by Shelby Stisser and Shay Ellis, with Brooke Walker and Sophia Cureo putting in great efforts on offense. The team faces off against Lake Shore on Saturday, Sept. 24.

In It to Win It
With a sizeable squad ďŹ lled with talented girls, the 2016 SGI Girls Varsity Swimming team launched their season earlier this month. Led by coach Karen Reynolds, SGI middle school PE teacher, and assistant coach Christy Komenda, SGI high school art teacher, this year’s swim team has 31 girls on the roster. “We have three eighth graders, ďŹ ve freshman, seven sophomores, nine juniors, and seven seniors,â€? explained Reynolds. “We have 10 newcomers to the squad this season.â€? The combination of veteran and rookie swimmers brings a strong mix to the pool. “This year’s team has a lot of talent and power throughout the lineup,â€? said Reynolds. “Elle Holland is the team’s fastest swimmer who has already broken the 200 free pool record. Last season she broke the 100 free school record and is continuing to improve all her times to take more names off the record board. Elle works extremely hard in the off-season with TWIST and her talent in the water is exceptional.â€? Reynolds went on to add, “We wouldn’t be the solid team we are if it wasn’t for the depth and talent we have with the other swimmers. McKenzie Galvin is very versatile with her freestyle. She can win the team key points in the distance swims, but she is also a key sprinter for the team as well. This diversity helps ďŹ ll our line-ups based on the needs of the meet. Anna Lawton, Kierstin Komenda, and Lexi Blesy are the team’s key yers and also Lawton and Komenda bring the team’s powerhouse in the 200 IM, and the 200 Free. Again their versatility is essential for the team’s success. Allie Lavanture is one of our top sprint freestylers, as well as 100 backstroker.â€? Reynolds continued, “Carley Delaney and Lauren Ditchey rank very high in our league in the 100 breaststroke. They are one another’s competition currently because they will not

see much competition with their speed and talent in our league until we get to East Aurora and Eden. Delaney has already qualiďŹ ed for sectionals in the 100 breaststroke and Ditchey is one second away. Ditchey has also proved to herself that she is a strong competitor in the 200 IM and the 100 back. She is continuing to build conďŹ dence that is going to carry over to her swims/times. Abby Moscato has come out of her shell this year and is popping free sprint times that are ECIC qualifying times and key team points. Sydney Emley is a silent powerhouse. She is a major factor in our relays and like Galvin, a huge asset when it comes to mid-distance and distance swims. Her sister Madisyn is challenging herself more and more, and her backstroke and 100 free times are giving our relays depth. Samantha Zifra has worked hard in the offseason with her diving at UB, and is building her dive list so she can throw higher DD dives. Meanwhile, Shannon O’Hara is a newcomer to the team, and her gymnastics background and courage is going to help tremendously against Eden when we need as many place points as possible.â€? Reynolds dedication and pride of these girls is obvious. “With 31 girls, I wish I could write a book on how they all contribute and what they bring to this 2016 team,â€? she stated. “They all hold a special place and in the bigger pools, their swims are extremely important
as we are looking for all the points we can get, even the 4th and 5th place ďŹ nishes. We haven’t had those meets yet; those are to come in October.â€? Reynolds sees this range of athletes as the team’s greatest asset. “Our team’s biggest strength is the diversity of swimmers,â€? she said. “To be able to rearrange line-ups and still have a powerhouse line-up is huge for a swim coach. Sometimes we need to maneuver swimmers in different events based on competition, and to know that I have a line of girls that can not just swim, but can compete, is a huge strength for our team.â€? So far this season, there have been plenty of individual and team successes. “A huge success for our team so far this season was tying Pioneer, which is non-league,â€? Reynolds stated. “The past ďŹ ve seasons, we have not beaten Pioneer because they had power and depth, so tying them in the ďŹ rst meet of the season was extremely motivating for our team.â€? While girls each make their own individual goals, they also have team goals. “This year, our team goal is to be a family (supportive and encouraging), and to beat Eden,â€? noted Reynolds, who added is their toughest league competition, and who they tied last year. SGI faces Eden in their last meet of the season on Friday, Oct. 7. Other upcoming meets include Maryvale and Tonawanda, both next week.

Steelhead Season Approaches
By Indrek Kongat s
Broadband for All By Jennifer Weber
As President Obama stated back in 2015: “High-speed broadband is not a luxury but a necessity.” In order to address this issue in New York State, Governor Andrew Cuomo launched the NY Broadband Program in January 2016, which is a $500 million initiative to ensure every New Yorker will have access to high-speed internet by 2018. “Access to high-speed internet is critical to keeping pace with the rising demands of the modern economy,” Cuomo said. “The New NY Broadband Program is advancing our vision for inclusive, interconnected communities that empower individuals, support small businesses, and advance innovation. These actions are a major step forward in creating the most robust broadband infrastructure network in the nation, and ensuring that reliable, high-speed internet is available to all New Yorkers.” The NYS Broadband Program Office of Empire State Development held a public information session on the status of phase one and the rollout of phase two of the Broadband For All Program in WNY on Tuesday, Sept. 21 at the University of Buffalo regarding the roll out of Phase Two of the initiative. Jeffrey Nordhaus, EVP of Broadband and Innovation, led the discussion, stating that the Broadband For All initiative guarantees access to internet download speeds of at least 100 Mbps in most places in New York State and 25 Mbps in the most remote parts of the state, by the end of 2018. “As a result of these speed upgrades, users will be able to download HD movies in 11 minutes -- versus 2.3 hours without broadband -- and credit card transactions will be
processed five times faster,” stated Nordhaus. Erie County was selected as a priority year one build and should see completion of this goal for more than 2 million upstate homes and businesses by early 2017, including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton and Albany. The third phase of the Broadband For All Program is scheduled to launch in early 2017, which will close out any remaining unaddressed service areas by the end of 2018. In addition to high-speed
internet access, the Broadband For All Program requires a pricing tier for the service providers to offer to residential customers at these speeds at a monthly rate not to exceed $60 per month. If you are unsure of what speed your internet service is currently at, you can do a simple test in under 30 seconds by typing in “speed test” into Google.

The fall steelhead season is about to start. With cooler temperatures in the forecast, leaves about to turn color and the recent heavy rains, the Cattaraugus Creek (Catt) is sending a strong signal to all the steelhead staging at its mouth that it is time to enter the river for their annual spawning run. Everything is dependent on water levels, and this year the level is good, allowing the fish to run all the way to Scoby Dam in Springville, 30-plus miles up river from Lake Erie. Plans for lowering the dam by 25 feet and installing a fish ladder will allow steelhead to reach the upper portion of the Catt, adding another 40- plus miles of excellent steelhead water right in Springville’s backyard. The Scoby Dam was originally built for hydro electric power production, but ceased to be used for such in 1998. Lowering the dam will allow the flushing out of the upper portion’s excessive sediment accumulation during severe rain run offs, thus improving steelhead spawning habitat and creating many deep holding pockets. Ideal water conditions for steelhead come when the sediment has settled enough after heavy rains to go from a pea green color to a slightly clearer brownish tinge. The flow rate also has to drop to about 200-300 cubic feet per minute, allowing fish to navigate easily and safer wading for fisherman while accessing holding pools. Steelhead are the ideal angling species in the Catt. Stocking of hatchery trout is costly, and because the river warms up to unacceptable temperatures in the summer months, trout can’t survive. Currently,in the main part of the creek, coarse fish like suckers and chubs inhabit the waters, offering little in the way of sportfishing.
Steelhead are really ocean-going rainbow trout transplanted into the world’s greatest freshwater ecosystem, the Great Lakes. Steelhead leave the creek or river that they are born in and spend the summer months in the larger body of water like an ocean or in our case, Lake Erie. When the time comes to spawn, they return to their birth place. The steelhead season is yearround on the Catt, with certain feeder streams like Spooner closed and posted until the steelhead have finished spawning. There is a significant production of wild steelhead from their spawning efforts, resulting in a self-sustaining population. With the upper river expansion, an estimated 240,000 wild steelhead fry are expected to reach their smolt stage before returning to the lake. River access is another issue, and although there are public fishing stretches, one must cross privately-owned property that is closely-guarded and often with fees being charged,
Wadsworth Continued from front page
A little research led me to look deeper in to the four quarters of the globe. I learned that in 1842, John left Springville with his brother Frederick and went to Vicksburg, MS where he worked as a clerk and in a mercantile. In 1849, he got a case of gold fever and went to California by sea. According to Briggs, Wadsworth was nearly shipwrecked off the coast of South America. For several years, John worked in gold mines. He later found himself back in the mercantile business in Oregon, supplying the United States Army during the Indian wars. It was here he was given the title Assistant Commissary General. In 1859, John Wadsworth returned to Springville when his mother, aunt and father died in a brief span of a few years. In 1861, John moved to Washington and once again supplied the Army
with supplies. The Civil War made Wadsworth very rich; with money to burn, he began his tour of the globe. First he traveled extensively in the United States and Canada. In 1869, he ventured off to Europe and the Middle East; he was reported to have been at the opening of the Suez Canal. He traveled the Greek islands and holy lands before going back to Europe. In Germany, he contracted a very bad cold and suffered from asthma the rest of his life. After being ill, he returned to Springville in 1872. He died from an asthma attack in 1877. When you are a single man with no heirs, what do you do? You build the largest monument in the cemetery and give your buddies money to care for it. And that what General Wadsworth did. With all his money not quite spent, John made plans

for his monument before his death for the cost of $3,000. Five hundred dollars went to the local Springville Masonic lodge to perpetual care for the grounds around the monument. Its dedication was a spectacle. It began with a parade in Buffalo to the train station. With train all loaded, it arrived in Springville. (At that time, the train station was where the old fire hall is.) With over 100 Masonic leaders in Springville, they had lunch in the Hall’s Opera House and then paraded through Springville to the cemetery. When it was dedicated in 1878, it was estimated that 5,000 people were in the cemetery. When you venture into Maplewood cemetery and see the Wadsworth monument, you now have little more information on General John B. Wadsworth.
to access these public stretches. The first 20 miles of river are controlled by the Seneca Nation, and a separate fishing license is required to access their portion of the lower river. Floating of the river without setting foot on the river bottom that is privately owned is a possible option but in order to have enough water to navigate the river, the fishing is usually at low optimal conditions. With the proposed expansion of the upper sections of the Catt, access will improve dramatically and offer more public fishing possibilities. The impact of a well-planned and organized sport fishery will be tremendous for the local Springville economy; for retailers, gas stations, hotels and eateries. Anglers expect this annual migration and will head out to their favorite spots to test their luck. Various angling methods can catch fish, from fly rods to float rods to drift rods. All methods are acceptable and require their own set of skills and patience. Unfortunately there are always unscrupulous individuals that snag fish or chase fish down stream into an awaiting landing net. It’s every anglers responsibility to report such behavior to the DEC. The sure signs of poaching are someone carrying a large landing net on a small stream or someone with a heavy rod and line outfit with oversized weighted hooks. Stay tuned to the Springville Times and Ellicottville Times for more info about steelhead season and other upcoming outdoor sports.
Crosby’s Presents Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with $16K Donation
Crosby’s stores, a division of The Reid Group, raised $16,070 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The donation check was presented to the foundation at Crosby’s September team leaders meeting on Sept. 15. Reid Petroleum, a sister company in the Reid Group, helped match the total amount collected and contributed by Crosby’s stores during its Cystic Fibrosis Pin Up Campaign, which ran from April 28, 2016 to May 25, 2016, collecting more than $8,000. “We’re thankful to our customers and employees
who so generously shared in our commitment to making a difference for those affected by cystic fibrosis,” according to Doug Galli, General Manager and Vice President of Crosby’s.
Crosby’s is headquartered in Lockport, NY. The company operates nearly 50 Crosby’s convenience stores throughout Northwestern Pennsylvania and Upstate New York.

Springville Opens Rail Trail on B&P Corridor The Village of Springville, and Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail Inc. (ECRT) proudly announce the opening of the Springville “Pop Warner” Rail Trail. The Springville “Pop Warner” Rail Trail is a 1.8 mile trail along the discontinued Buffalo and Pittsburgh Rail Road rightof-way which runs from Orchard Park to the Town of Ashford. The Springville trail is named after football legend Pop Warner who lived in Springville. While ECRT is negotiating with the B&P for a rail banking agreement which will transfer ownership to ECRT, the Village of Springville received a right-of-entry agreement to develop a multiuse trail within the Village limits. The Trail was funded in part by a grant from the Springville Griffith Institute Community Educational Foundation. This is the first section of the 27 mile right-of-way to be developed and opened. Mayor Bill Krebs said “The residents of Springville have supported the conversion of the
discontinued rail right-of-way to a multiuse trail since 2009. I am thrilled that the B&P Rail Road, Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail, Inc., and the Springville Community Foundation have partnered with the Village to make the Trail a reality.” “This had been a long time coming,” said Deborah Fenn, current co-chair and founding member of ECRT, “and this is just the beginning of what will arguably become the most glorious multi-use recreational trail in all of Western New York. After more than eight years and a number of negotiation phases, ECRT is now very close to gaining title to the full 27 mile corridor. Meanwhile, we have hardworking, steadfast leaders like Mayor Krebs to thank for our progress to date. This grand opening is truly historic, and the citizens of Springville can take pride in this significant step forward.” ECRT Co-Chair Gary Willert added, “The Village of Springville, as lead by Mayor Bill Krebs, exemplifies in the highest regard what can
be achieved when we all pull together, and we are confident the other municipalities within this 27 mile corridor will jump on board when the time comes. For now, we are still negotiating an interim trail use/ rail banking agreement with B&PRR, have filed the required documentation with the Federal Surface Transportation Board, and continue work under a Right Of Entry Agreement, We wish to thank our everincreasing support base within the Southern Tier of Western New York.” Krebs said the Village is looking forward to making the Trail experience in the Village more pleasurable with historic and nature markers, surface improvements, and aesthetic improvements. “As happy as we are to celebrate the opening of our Trail, we are enthusiastic about the future development of the right-of-way which will improve our community.” For more info, contact the Springville Village Office (716) 592-4936 or wkrebs@ villageofspringvilleny.com

Capital Project Continued from front page
years. Any code-related items must be considered. They were able to move quickly with this project, because the building conditions survey had already largely been conducted before last December’s vote. Improvements to all buildings will include pavement reconstruction and sidewalk replacement. Moritz states, “[The condition of the pavement and sidewalks] is deplorable,” not just an embarrassment, but also a very real safety hazard. There is too much cost to taxpayers to try to handle this in regular budgets, the superintendent explains, and so it has been added to the Capital Project. In addition, in all or most of the buildings, the roofs need full or partial replacement, overhead electrical lines will also be replaced, asbestos abatement will be implemented, handicap accessibility will be improved, and more improvements will be applied. At the high school, the project cost is estimated to be $8.9 million. Up for consideration is that the old track should be replaced; most beneficially with an 8-lane track (preferred to the old 6-lane track, so that Springville may host dual meets with other schools, or potential county competitions). Refinishing the high school gym floor is also on the work agenda (as opposed to the much-debated new gymnasium, suggested in December’s vote). Other improvements are necessary, such as the obsolete overhead stage rigging and the basement sports locker room, both needing to be brought up to code. Moritz jokes a bit about the high school press box, but is also adamant that it needs

replacement. The greenhouse is also a structure from the 1950’s, and will need full renovations. The middle school’s projected cost is $9.9 million. At first, it was thought that the HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air conditioning) units on the roof at the middle school could be retrofitted, but it has been decided that the roof will need to be fully replaced from gas-fired to a more efficient hot-water rooftop. The lockers will also be renovated in the hallways to be larger for students, and the carpeting, which was laid new in 1998, will be replaced, much to the benefit of students and staff with allergies. Springville Elementary School’s (SES) cost is projected to be $6.9 million. The wooden floors on the stage and in the gym will both be refinished, as will the vinyl flooring. The roof will be partially restored, also having been replaced in 1998, and new energy-efficient classroom ventilators will be added. Moritz warns, “This roof replacement is critical— there was a failure of the material on this roof— we brought roofing experts in, and architects are looking at it; we are monitoring it very closely.” Duwe adds that they sought emergency funding for some of the construction work needed on the roof at SES after the last Capital Project was voted down, and have received some assistance for the roof at SES, but the building needs a more permanent fix. As for Colden Elementary School, projected to cost $1.6 million, Moritz recognizes everyone seems to have an “opinion” on the future of the building, but these issues will
not be resolved immediately, and all of our district’s children deserve a school that strives for excellence. The district recommends improvements in the kitchen of the cafeteria, replacement of carpet with vinyl flooring, and a new fire alarm system. The district office does not benefit from state aid, as no students are in attendance there. Improvements are projected to cost $398,700; with minimal work on their roof, and to upgrade their bathrooms for handicapped access. The Capital Project’s referendum at the present time is projected at $27,795,000, as opposed to December’s referendum projection of $38,722,000. Moritz spoke of not just reducing the amount of money needed to complete these substantial projects, but also accruing capitalized interest, which is a new addition to the plan that was presented in December. “We are planning ahead for that— we are making sure we do our due diligence to take care of our finances, and have a minimal amount of impact on our taxpayers,” she explains. Interested parties may listen to the full meeting on the district website to hear how much of the project is covered by state aid, the timeline for the project if passed, listen to local community members’ statements and concerns, find out how this will affect your taxes, and more; as well as view any items or documents associated with this meeting. The Capital Project Referendum vote is on Sept. 27, from 12-8 p.m., and the next BOE regular business meeting will be held Oct. 11, 2016, at 7 p.m.

SGCEF Discusses Drug Awareness Programs By Jennifer Weber
A group of Springville area community leaders, led by Grover Riefler, President of the Springville-Griffith Community Education Foundation (SGCEF), met on Tuesday, Sept. 21 at the Springville County Club to discuss opportunities to collaborate and educate our youth with drug awareness programs. In attendance were representatives from Colden, Springville and West Valley School Districts, the Children’s League, Village of Springville Police and Mayor, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital, Springville Area Chamber of Commerce, the Boys and Girls Club of Springville and members of the Springville Regional Service Coalition Substance Abuse Task Force. The SGCEF announced the Boys & Girls Club of Springville SMART Moves Drug Prevention program as their 2016 Grant Award recipient for the upcoming Annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 6-8 p.m. at the Springville Health and Fitness Club, 243 West Main Street. Tickets for this event are $30 and will be available in the beginning of October. For more information visit www. scgef.org. Over the past nine years, the SGCEF has given
back over $250,000 to the Springville area community with recent grants awarded to the Children’s League, Rails to Trails, Concord Historical Society Heritage Building and Mercy Flight of WNY. Jessica Johnston, Treasurer of the Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Club of Springville, led a presentation on the SMART (Skills Mastery and Resistance Training) Moves Drug Prevention program the club will be implementing in 2017. The SMART moves program is a 10-week program, offered in both the spring and the fall, with two 45 minute sessions each week, dividing children into three age groups: 6-9 years, 10-12 years and 12-15 years of age. This interactive program engages each group in age-appropriate activities requiring students to create presentations, role playing scenarios and work with other multi-media activities. “The SMART moves program is only one solution to the local drug problem,” said Johnson. “The Boys & Girls club is working with the Springville Area Coalition Substance Abuse Task Force and the area schools to make sure we are not duplicating, but rather enhancing, supporting and expanding upon existing community efforts.” The Boys & Girls Club of Springville currently serves approximately 500 area youth
on an annual basis and is continuing to grow. With drugrelated deaths on the rise, there is a great need for a structured and proven drug prevention program geared towards local youth. “The mission of the Boys & Girls Club is to enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens in our community.” said Johnson. “The SMART moves program is consistent with our mission and may also help to save the lives of members and people close to them.” Anyone in the community with information regarding drug use is encouraged to call or text the SPRINGVILLE TIP line at (716) 867-6161. Reports are kept confidential and anonymous. The Village of Springville also has a drug drop-off site, located at 65 Franklin Street, where citizens can dispose of unused prescription medications and used needles. For more information call (716) 858-2903.

Marion Ahles celebrated her 100th birthday on September 13, 2016, by going out for ice cream in a high-style carriage ride down Main Street. She was escorted by Jay Andrews, Lauralee Sibiga, friends and family, courtesy of Doc and Dan in full hitch. Photos and info submitted by Jolene Hawkins.
Longtime Springville resident Marion L. Ahles celebrated her 100th birthday on September 13, 2016. Although it is becoming more common to live longer, Marion will reach this noteworthy event while still living an active lifestyle. Just six short months ago, Marion traveled with her daughter Donna to South Africa for her granddaughter’s wedding celebration where she toured Krueger National Park photographing wildlife in the bush visited Cape Town and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, toured the Voortrekker Monument and the World Heritage Site of Maropeng: Cradle of Humankind. Shortly thereafter in late August, she took advantage of offers to ride horseback, ride a four wheeler, and tour East Otto on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Born in New England, Marion moved to the Springville area at an early age. She grew up on a farm in the town of New Ashford on what is now Henrietta Road, where she attended a one room school for students in grades one through eight. At her high school, the Springville Griffith Institute (SGI), she played violin in the orchestra and graduated in 1933. She is an actual survivor of the comedic metaphor of “walking uphill to school both ways,” as she had to climb in and out of Zoar Valley on even the snowiest of days. While a student at SGI, the head of the Village water department asked Art teacher, Mr. Snyder, the art which of his students would be capable of designing a new system of water delivery for the rapidly expanding community.
Marion was recommended. She created the design, and drew up blueprints which were used for the project. Several years ago David Sullivan from the Village Water Department shared that they occasionally still come across some of the wooden duct work which was part of her project. Her family did not have indoor plumbing, therefore they utilized an outhouse and enjoyed baths in the kitchen once per week, with water drawn from a single hand pump. Marion witnessed the evolution from horse and buggy to automobiles, the installation of electricity in her home; which allowed for one light in each room, and of course the telephone, with up to eight families sharing one party line, each answering their calls based on the number of rings assigned to each person. Marion originally met her future husband, John Ahles, in grade school, and they began dating after high school. The Ahles were married in Springville on July 4, 1940. Marion shared that John was always happy that “the whole country celebrated their anniversary with fireworks.” Marion and John had two children, Donna (Schweikert) and David, nine grandchildren, and fifteen great grandchildren with one on the way. John passed in 2003 after 63 years of marriage. During World War II, Marion worked as a machinist making special order parts for military aircraft. She laid the brickwork and electrical wiring for the home she and her husband, John, built in Springville. Marion was a beautician
with her own business and later was well known for her talent in the furniture re-upholstery business, which she ran for many years. She and John helped create and manage the Springville Rifle and Pistol Club. Marion was one of the highest scoring shooters in competitions. For several years she held the title of Champion Lady Pistol Shooter of Western New York. Marion was an active member of her local Home Bureau, a musician in her church choir and cared for several elderly family members in her home until they passed. Marion is always ready to learn new talents and is an avid reader of new technology. She uses the Internet and loves to travel. Her present hobbies include knitting, caring for her rose garden, beading, photography, watching wildlife in her back yard and caring for her family of Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. She currently is an International Art Instructor teaching oil painting in Ashford, NY. One of Marion’s favorite activities is camping, she has enjoyed almost every State Park in New York State. In 2011, at age 95, she took a six week camping trip across the country to Seattle, Washington and the Olympic Peninsula. Marion is often asked to reveal the secret to her long life. She has a positive attitude, loves life, eats healthy, exercises every morning and is always ready to learn new things. Each morning she enjoys a blend of apple cider vinegar and natural honey in a mug of warm water.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT
Springville Door & Window
30 Years of Community-Driven Sales and Services 31 East Main Street, Springville NY 14141 (716) 592-4941
By Ashlee O akley
The history of this business is an interesting Springville story. Vice President David Batterson, Jr. ďŹ rst explains the background: Batterson’s father, David Batterson, Sr., and his uncle, Jim Webster, started the business in 1986. Shortly after, Batterson says they parted ways, as his uncle was happy to stay in the business they were in, but Batterson, Sr. was inspired to continue to grow within the community. The Battersons bought Webster out, and the name “Springville Door & Windowâ€? was given to the business, ďŹ rst working out of an ofďŹ ce at their home, then out of a building at 372 South Cascade Drive. After a signiďŹ cant growth in sales and the spatial needs of the business, they moved to 455 South Cascade Drive, and stayed there for many years. In 1997, they moved to their current building at 56 Waverly Street, where most of their staff work out of, and which is their only showroom. Batterson says he has been working in the building since about 2000, moving up through the ranks from “go-’ferâ€? to vice president. He notes, “I was always hanging around the shop, but about two years after they moved up here from the 219 is when I really started to work here [regularly].â€? During the busy summer season, Batterson says they typically have 10-15 people on-staff. In the off-season, they typically keep on about 6-7 staff members, with Batterson and his uncle, general manager of Springville Door & Window Jeff Webster, doing the majority of the administration for the business. Springville Door & Window appreciates its staff, who have recently gone on a Chautauqua cruise during Labor Day weekend, and enjoy company picnics and Christmas parties, where proceeds go back into the community through local charities. Employees are also offered discounts when purchasing products and services from their workplace. Batterson explains, “What sets us apart from box stores is our focus on quality, not only with products, but with the people installing them.â€? Walking into the showroom, a sign hangs prominently that states, “It takes a truly wealthy person to buy cheap products, over and over again.â€? Batterson says it’s one of his

dad’s favorites, and rings true to their business model: “We are rarely the least expensive option you have. That being said, we may not be the most expensive, either, but our focus is on quality. Many of our premium products come with substantial warranties that we believe in. We ourselves provide a three-year warranty for any services that we provide. We also hire all of our own people individually for installation, we don’t subcontract. That is how we keep quality high; we can feel comfortable guaranteeing that our workers are going to do the job well.â€? He adds, “Our attitude is focused toward the customer— we do our best to minimize disruption to the home, and strive to leave homes as clean or cleaner than before we came in.â€? Winter is coming, and Springville Door & Window is prepared to assist with your energy-saving needs. Most of their products have a highenergy rating, and Batterson notes, “Almost all of our products have the option to meet the current Energy Star ratings.â€? He clariďŹ es that the Energy Star categories can be difďŹ cult to navigate, and the professionals at Springville Door & Window can help to recognize what the best products will be to make your home more energy-efďŹ cient. For the ďŹ rst-time customer, Batterson suggests, “Don’t be afraid to ask questions—
the more you know, the more smoothly it can go. He also encourages the customer to deliberate before making a decision that will permanently affect their home. They don’t do “hooksâ€? or discounts for rushing to buy; what you see is what you get, locally sold and installed by employees of this small but efďŹ cient business. They do require a deposit if you are placing orders for work to be done, and Batterson is not afraid to have customers compare prices among similar businesses, as he feels their prices are marked competitively. “We are focused on you, the consumer— not only do we want you to feel comfortable, but we ultimately want to provide you with the best value for your dollar,â€? Batterson asserts. Of his job, Batterson says that he loves that it is a different job every day. He is a self-proclaimed problemsolver by nature, and there is always something that arises, be it the need for materials or issues with jobs. Some days everything actually goes smoothly! “I never know what I’m going to get. It’s always an adventure, and always changing,â€? he said. Batterson notes that they are on Facebook, and that you may visit their website at www.sdwny.com. Or call (716) 592-9803 to contact this community-oriented business for your home improvement needs!
