Heat up the Gridiron
Upcoming Events
By Indrek Kongats
It’s football season once again and fans have already started up their tailgate grills. I’m excited. Aren’t you? Everyone has a favorite team, whether it’s your grandson’s Pee Wee Eagles, or your gang’s favorite professional squad. The neat thing about Ellicottville is that on any given Sunday in the fall we might have fans arriving from three different states and two different countries bringing their enthusiastic, if not fanatical, behavior onto our quiet streets and backyards, exploding into choruses of back-slapping hoorays. Who let the cats out? We have Tiger-Cats fans baring claws with Bengals fans over whose league plays real football, on a real football field, with no silly fair catch rule. We have the Browns, Steelers, Bills, Giants, Eagles and Argonauts fans celebrating or drowning their sorrow in their favorite establishment. Ellicottville has enough eateries with big screens and screaming fans that we could probably pass The Cap in capacity. Let’s not forget our homegrown protégées that made it big or could have. The Southern Tier could have its own Pro Bowl. I asked good friend Virgil Dunham for a list of all the local greats. Dunham coached Randolph High School football and remembers the name of every player – stars like Marvin Hubbard from Randolph who played for the Oakland Raiders, Chuck Crist from Salamanca who played for the Giants and of course Bills’ Shane Conlan from Frewsburg. Coach Dunham also recalls a time when playing himself that he split a new-fangled plastic helmet in half after a crunching tackle and had to revert back to the proven leather one.

Holland’s Comments on Receipt of Award
I’ve changed so much as I’ve gotten older. My feelings have changed too. More than anything these days, I feel grateful. I’m ever so grateful to you. For the chance to help our kids play a sport they love. To see them grow up. To teach them a little, and to learn so much more from them. I’m grateful for this game, you know. One way or another, I’ve been involved in football -- or soccer, as you Americans call it -- for nearly 80 years. It has always been a part of me, and always will. I played as a boy in Manchester, with friends I’ve not seen in half a century. Living in the city during the
war we didn’t always have a proper football or a pitch, so we’d use a tennis ball, and kick it against a wall. Anything for a chance to play. I got to see Georgie Best play. He lived around the corner from me in Manchester. He once asked my girlfriend out for a date, actually. But I don’t hold it against him. He was my hero, of course. He was the greatest player I ever saw. I’m grateful for that too. When my family moved to Ellicottville, there was no boys’ team. No one cared about soccer but a handful of coaches and kids. And now America has won a World Cup, in the American way. I meet people on the street in Ellicottville who want to talk about FIFA!
Section VI annual Recognition Dinner. Presenting Wally Holland Sr. with the Section VI award (on the left) is Al Gens, Section VI President. German Lesmes (Middle) is the President of the Chautauqua Cattaraugus Soccer Officials, Inc.
That’s extraordinary. I’m grateful to have lived to see a change like that. And to have played my small part in it. One more thing, if you don’t mind. I’d like to honour two friends of mine. There would be no soccer in Ellicottville without Joe and Adam Delity. They started up the summer league, they ofďŹ ciated and helped run the league for decades. They gave so much time and energy to our kids, and to the game we love. And to me. Joe passed away a couple of years ago, and Adam turned in his whistle last year. I miss working and playing with them. We stayed young together. As I understand it, I’m now the oldest soccer ofďŹ cial in New York State. I’m proud to have lasted this long. (Honestly, I’m a little surprised.) But most of all, I’m grateful. I think of the kids in town, the parents who come out and support them, the coaches, and all of you -- I think of Joe and Adam. And of my own sons, and my grandsons, who are learning to play the game too. And I can’t tell you how grateful I am that we’ve all had the chance to be part of something beautiful. Thank you very much for this. Thank you.

Jennifer Westwood and the Handsome Devils to Play at Balloons By Colleen Mahoney
Rock n’ Roll Weekend attracts a variety of national artists to Ellicottville and this year’s event is no exception as Jennifer Westwood and the Handsome Devils will grace the stage at Balloons on Sept. 18, to the delight of music lovers. Led by Westwood, the group considers itself a rock group, though it’s been welcomed by blues fans across the United States. Having worked with Shooter Jennings, Paul Thorn and Waymore’s Outlaws, among others, Jennifer Westwood and the Handsome Devils has traveled coast to coast, picking up two Detroit Music awards for Best Country Group and Outstanding Vocals along the way. “We of course are looking forward to performing in Ellicottville, as well as taking in the scenery,� Westwood said. “We have been blown away by the friendliness of people each time we’ve been to New York.� A gospel singer in her early years, Westwood began her music career in Detroit bars, eventually singing backup for
Motown artist Carl Carlton. An ensemble choir student of Bishop C.L. Franklin (Aretha Franklin’s father), Westwood’s church performances led her to studio work with local R&B, soul and roots artists in the Detroit area. She is joined by guitarist Dylan Dunbar on stage, who has recorded and toured with The Rumpshakers and Whitey Morgan. Dunbar is an All-State award winning jazz instrumentalist. Making up the remainder of the Handsome Devils, Ken Blaznek and Joe Veloz bring the drums and bass, respectively, to the band. Their Balloons set list will include some original songs, as well as some covers.
“We’ll be playing our original tunes, including a song we’ve worked on with Johnny Bee, the original drummer from Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels,â€? Westwood said. “He is a proliďŹ c songwriter and talented guy. We’ll also play some tunes people are familiar with in our own style, mixing up a little Texas blues with southern soul.â€? Jennifer Westwood and the Handsome Devils will be at Balloons on Sunday, Sept. 18, at 2 p.m. For more information about the band, visit JWHandsomeDevils.com. For information about all the bands playing during Rock n’ Roll Weekend (Sept. 16-18), visit www.ellicottvilleny.com.

FE Titans Topple the Wolf Pack
Returning to the gridiron under the Friday night lights, Head Coach Chad Bartoszek and the FranklinvilleEllicottville Titans launched their season with a 35-8 victory over the newly combined Clymer-Sherman-Panama team. Scoring was led by Brock Blecha (QB/LB, 6’1”, 175), who ran for 84 yards on 17 carries, with nine tackles on defense. Other scorers included Marquee Peters (WR/DB, 5’9”, 170) and Dooly Brennan (WR/DB, 5’11’, 175). “This was a very positive start to the season. We were very happy with the way the kids responded after a sluggish start; and that leaves us with a lot to work on to get better as we continue on to week two. Catt-LV is a familiar opponent as we’ve played them four times in the last two years and we’ve always had competitive games. We look forward to getting better and the challenge of another tough opponent,” said Bartoszek. The Titans ended the 2015 season as Section 6 Class D champions. Although the team suffered a loss to BishopKearney in the Far West regionals, they return with 11 starters at 16 positions.
FE Titans Dooley Brennan, #14
Once again this season, the Titans will split home games between the Ellicottville and Franklinville fields. With eight teams in Class D, Franklinville/ Ellicottville plays a slate of all league games. Returning are Clymer/Sherman/Panama, Cattaraugus-Little Valley, Frewsburg, Portville and Randolph.

Little Eagle Midgets Wrangle the Gators
By Stephanie Timblin
The Ellicottville Eagles Midget football team advanced to 3-0 on the season with a convincing 20-6 victory over the Allegany-Limestone Gators. This win places them on top of the League as the only undefeated team. Lief Jimerson scored three touchdowns for the Eagles, with an extra point recorded by Ryan DeKay Head Coach Tim Grinols said, “The midgets had another solid win. The offense was led by our big offensive line. All three offensive teams moved the ball well throughout the game.”
Pee Wee Head Coach Mark Chudy and his Pee Wee team dropped to 2-1 on the season when they suffered a loss earlier in the day to the Gators in a tough 32-18 battle. Touchdowns were recorded by Carter Smith and Josh Auman. In a game well played by both teams, Coach Chudy said, “Although we came up on the short end, I was happy to see our team battle back and put up a score with under a minute left to play.” Both teams continue to play their games in tribute to Alexander Newark, a local boy and member of the Eagles

trees. The walk will then take visitors to the Carolyn Lowe Herb Garden, which has 12 different herb gardens, and to the Demonstration Vegetable Garden, maintained by Cattaraugus County Master Gardeners. Participants also will take a walk to Lake Nipponica and the Japanese Stone Gardens. “John was influenced by the Japanese culture … and you can see that in the Arboretum,” Kerl said. “The pond and the stone gardens were both influenced by Japanese culture.” Before stopping for refreshments on the Ellicottville Rotary Patio along the back of the Town Center building, guests also can visit
the Northrup Nature Hall and Chapman Nature Sanctuary. “We’re very eager to get people to think of [the Arboretum] as an educational space,” Kerl said. “We have people stopping to look at the different sizes and shapes of the trees … trees that are of interest.” Kerl said trees on the property range from newly planted to mature, giving a timeline of a tree’s growth. The Nannen Arboretum has two newly planted American chestnut trees – which have been classified as “effectively extinct” due to a severe blight reducing the trees ability to produce nuts – as well as tulip and birch trees. “The new American
chestnuts are only a couple of feet tall, so they’re pretty cute,” Kerl said. “We have mature size trees too, so you can see how they grow.” While the walk is a way to bring more people to the Arboretum, Kerl also hopes it will spark some interest in volunteering. She explained that there is something for everyone to do, and it’s a nice place to spend your time. The complimentary guided walk will take place Sunday, Sept. 25 from 12:30-3:30 p.m., at the “Best Kept Secret in Ellicottville.” The Nannen Arboretum is located at 28 Parkside Drive. For more information on the walk or to volunteer, contact info@ nannenarboretum.org.

time you are in town you might ask the guy beside you for his autograph. Who knows? It might be Jim Kelly or the Mighty Hercules himself, Angelo Mosca! Finally, for the extra point, I want to pass on to you my “favourite” or “favorite” (depending on which language you speak) tailgate recipe: Coach K’s Tailgate Wraps CFL Blitz Wrap This is great during a Canadian weather blitz. Grilled Canadian bacon is wrapped and pinned with toothpick, snuggled with an over-easy egg, cheddar cheese, grilled hash brown, dressed with diced sweet onion and doused with pure Canadian maple syrup. Cover with more maple syrup. Servings: 1 Ingredients: 30 cm whole wheat tortilla 1 thick slice of Canadian bacon (Canadian bacon is really peameal bacon and comes in a half round, 5 – 8 cm diameter, cut it in slices with the grain. You might ask your cross-border buddy to smuggle in a kilo or two next time in town. Just kidding!) 1 jumbo egg, brown or white. 1 pre-cooked hash brown 1 slice cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon diced sweet
onion Pure Canadian maple syrup sold in cans imported from Quebec Toothpick Directions: Cook egg over easy and place on upper 2/3 of tortilla in the center of the grilled bacon slice. Add cheese slice and grilled hash brown, sprinkle with diced onion and douse with maple syrup. Turn up lower 1/3 of tortilla and overlap sides, pin with a toothpick without poking yoke, leave top open, dribble in more Canadian maple syrup. Tackle with piping hot Muskoka’s Lumberjack coffee. The NFL Red Zone Wrap is great to incite your team to a touchdown. Follow the instructions above but substitute a 12” corn tortilla, suicide boneless chicken wings in place of Canadian bacon and scramble the egg. Then add pepper jack cheese. Use hot salsa in place of maple syrup but be sure to include the hash brown and sweet onions. For added measure, dribble in Tabasco sauce. Block heat with a light ice cold beverage of choice. Hand one off to your best friend and enjoy!

On Friday, Sept. 9, the combined 1-0 EllicottvilleFranklinville High School Varsity team takes on county rivals 0-1 Catt-Little Valley in Franklinville with a 7 p.m. kick off. While you are enjoying action under the Friday night lights, keep your eyes on players like junior tight end Sam Erickson or senior quarterback Caleb Palmatier. In local college football action, we have the 0-1 Alfred State Pioneers in action on Saturday, Sept 10 vs. the 0-1 Brockport Golden Eagles at Alfred. The game of football is not just for the players. It is for all of us who want an escape from our everyday responsibilities and our daily grind. It’s what grandparents live for and parents push for, hoping, that starting at an early enough age, it does become a job – maybe not as a professional football player but maybe as a high school coach, trainer, sports writer or, if successful enough, another Terry Pegula. Ellicottville has one of the most unique mosaics of fans from different cultures, classes and political beliefs in North America, and what better place to enjoy the game of football and stumble across a Hall of Famer?

Are You Ready?
Ah September. The time of year when a young man’s fancy turns from golf to football. Don’t get me wrong. I still play golf year round, but football season is my favorite season of the year. I’ve always loved football, however I only played one year when I was younger. I was a member of the Ellicottville Little Eagles Midget team for one season, received Rookie of the Year honors, and then immediately retired. I wanted to go out on top. And while we’re on the subject, Midgets? We’re still calling it that? I don’t claim to be the most politically correct person in the world, but maybe it’s time for a reexamination. Although the Ellicottville Little Eagles Little People Division does seem a bit cumbersome. As a native Western New Yorker, I am a bit ashamed to admit I wasn’t always a Bills fan. Between the ages of six and nine, I was a huge Steelers fan. There isn’t a picture of me from that time when I’m not wearing a Pittsburgh hat. All I can remember is that at such an early age, I saw their uniforms and thought, “black and gold – that looks so cool.” Or maybe it was the fact that they were the
dominant team of the seventies and I just enjoyed feeling like a winner. All I know is that my family did not hide its resentment. Once my sense of regional loyalty kicked in, I embarked on the long, painful journey of being a diehard Bills fan. My left eye is starting to twitch as I type this. Being a Bills fan is kind of like being Charlie Brown. Every year we think we’re going to finally kick that football and win a Super Bowl, only to have Lucy pull it away at the last second, leaving us flat on our back. And by Lucy, I mean Belichick. All real Bills fans are well aware of the fact that we hold the unfortunate distinction of having the longest playoff drought in the entire league. Sixteen seasons. 16 years. This year’s high school seniors were babies the last time we made the playoffs. Excuse me a moment while I wipe away the tears from my computer screen. It was a forward lateral, DAMMIT! As painful as the Music City Miracle was, those old enough remember the two words that feel like a knife to our heart every time we hear them. Wide right. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed quite an affinity for Scott Norwood. For some reason, I just relate to someone who has to go through the rest of his life thinking about such a big missed opportunity. I was a student at Rochester Institute of Technology when we lost that Super Bowl. As painful as it was to lose that game, I will always laugh
when I think about how that day played out for one of my best friends. He was attending another college and was so intoxicated by game time that he passed out right after Whitney Houston sang the National Anthem. Three hours later his fraternity brothers woke him up just in time to see Norwood’s miss. He’s probably better off. Everyone knows that we went on to lose three more Super Bowls in a row. We all know that people view us as a laughing stock for those four straight losses. That’s not how I view us. I look at what an unbelievable amount of character it took to rebound every year to make it all the way back to the final game. Look at how few Super Bowl losers even make it to the playoffs the next year. What Buffalo did during that amazing run will never be accomplished again. Sure, I wish that we had won just one of those games. But I would rather feel the pride of knowing what incredible heart those teams had in order to overcome such devastating disappointment time and time again than to have won several times as cheaters. I’m looking at you, Lucy. I don’t care how many years it’s been. I’ll always get excited when September rolls around. I know it’s possible. Cleveland has a championship team. CLEVELAND! Maybe this year we finally get to kick that ball. Or maybe next year. Hopefully it’ll happen before my three-yearold graduates high school. After all, Lucy can’t live forever, can he? LET’S GO BUFFALO!

Join Audubon to View Elk in Pennsylvania
The Audubon Nature Center is offering a rare opportunity: a day-long fieldtrip to learn about and view herds of elk. Elk once roamed much of North America but began to disappear from the East in the 1800s due to overhunting and habitat destruction. Reintroduction programs beginning in the early twentieth century brought wild stock from western populations back east. One strong population can be found in Benezette, Pennsylvania, about 80 miles southeast of the Nature Center. At 10 a.m. on Wednesday, September 16, the Audubon van will depart for Benezette to visit the beautiful Elk Country Visitor Center.

Oktoberfest Brings Germany to Springville
By Colleen Mahoney
still think out of the box … this is a great opportunity to try some different craft beers.” In addition to the German feast, Fireman’s Park will be filled with music from local favorites. From 2:30 - 5 p.m., the Springville Jazz Orchestra
will play in the beer hall, while Mike Nugent entertains guests in the bar area until 5:30 p.m. Joe Wagner will take over in the bar area at 6 p.m., playing until 10 p.m. In the beer hall, See Oktoberfest page 4
History, Tradition Make Springville Country Club ‘Friendliest’ in WNY
Colleen Mahoney
In its current location, Springville Country Club is a haven for golf players, boasting 18 holes on 112 acres overlooking Zoar Valley and the Cattaraugus Creek. But before they set up holes and hazards, the land was known as Cascade Park. Having gotten its name from the waterfall -- or cascade --
into the creek, the park was a hot spot for visitors from Buffalo, who took the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Railway to Springville. Cascade Park included two picnic pavilions, tennis courts, a dance hall and views of the creek banks. In the early 1900s, it became a destination for visitors, with special trains of 10 coaches making the trip
daily. “People enjoyed spending the day at the park … the train would drop them off and they’d be there all day,” Golf Professional Dave Thomas said. “They used to wander down to the creek … they took Lover’s Lane, a path in the woods.” Cascade Park was operated See Springville CC page 3
The Town of Concord Planning Board had a discussion about solar panels at its Sept. 6 meeting. The discussion came after town residents had been approached by solar companies looking to erect panels on their property. Board member James Jozwiak reported on a training he attended as part of the fire department regarding solar panels. Solar Liberty conducted the training, which centered around how to extinguish a fire with solar panels present. Jozwiak reported that the panels are guaranteed to hold in winds up to 110 MPH, and that they cannot be installed to blanket an entire roof. For commercial buildings, there needs to be space around the panels big enough for people to walk around. Residential roofs have to have access for utility workers. Chairman Lawrence Kelly explained that in mid-spring, residents approached the town board regarding the legality of solar panels in the town; currently, there are no laws or codes in the town for solar panels. “The town board put a moratorium … I think six months … on solar panels,” Kelly explained, “to give it time to decide what they want to do.” Kelly said the discussion was very preliminary and the board hasn’t yet decided if it wants to allow solar panels.

Currently, the planning board is collecting information and talking with other towns that have passed laws on the energy resource. “We have to get a base map to work from … and put everything together,” planning board member Karl Lux said. The planning board is anticipating the town board will come back to them with recommendations on what other towns are doing, and what they’d like to do. Kelly likened solar panels to wind turbines, for which the planning board also worked on creating codes and laws. Lux agreed, adding that there was a lot of discussion during that time. Moving forward, the plan is to gather as much information as possible and create a plan from there. There was no action taken on the topic. The planning board will next meet Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. in the town hall court room, 86 Franklin St., Springville.

Village residents and visitors can enjoy a day and evening of live music, traditional German food, craft beer and local wines from Merritt Winery and Ellicottville Winery. The Springville Meat Shoppe will provide bratwurst and bratburgers, other offerings include Spar’s Hungarian and Augsburg sausage, homemade sauerkraut, German potato salad and pretzel sliders. “We try to do everything as traditionally as possible” said Jeanne Ellis, co-chair of the Oktoberfest committee, “but
Concord Planning Upcoming Events Board Discusses Springville Solar Panels Area
The Springville-Griffith Institute Central School Board of Education has approved a one-year contract with Sodexo Food Service to provide cafeteria food for students. The decision came after a special meeting on Sept. 1. The new contract is for the 2016-17 school year with the option to extend for another four years. The board held discussions on contracting with a new provider before deciding to work with Sodexo again. Business Administrator Maureen Lee explained that the price of lunches increased, sending the district on a search for another provider. Lunches themselves increased $0.10,
but the administrative fee increase was close to $6,000. Lee explained that the district pays based on the number of lunches sold in a month, noting that Sodexo is one of the “key players” in the food service provider industry. In 2015-16, the district paid $38,000; with the increase, Lee anticipates the fees to be $48,000. “That’s a significant increase … you can sustain it for this year, but it’s going to start to eat away the fund balance,” Lee said. She noted that the district has seen a decline in the purchase of lunches, but that is beginning to stabilize at the elementary school level. The district also receives subsidies
for the number of free and reduced lunches provided. The board approved the contract in a 5-0 vote; board members Michael Connors and Garret English were not in attendance. The Springville-Griffith Institute Board of Education will next meet on Sept. 12 at 7 p.m., in the High School library and media center.

Coaches’ Corner Girls Varsity Soccer, coach Eric Holler The varsity Lady Griffs soccer team has started their season 1-1. The Lady Griffs fell to Pioneer 2-0 on Aug. 29 and defeated divisional foe, Alden, 3-1 on Aug. 31. Goals were scored by Grace Zabawa (2) and Jena Schelble. Carrie Dickinson played well in net. Girls Varsity Tennis, coach Frank Noeson The Lady Griffins tennis team opened up their season with a 4-1 victory over Lake Shore on Tuesday. Winning matches for the team were all three singles players— Kaylee Timmel, Lily Vanuga, and Kamryn Keys, along with the doubles team of Jessica Slotman and Julianna Kraft. Divisional play begins when the team travels to Tonawanda on Friday. Varsity Football, coach Eric Jantzi, assistant coach Rob Valenti The varsity football team won their first league contest last Friday defeating Fredonia/Westfield/ Brocton by a score of 52-14. The offense was led by Sr. Ian Baker who carried the ball 19 times for 252 yards and 6 touchdowns. Connor O’Brien added two interceptions (one that he returned for a 62 yard touchdown) to pace the defense. Senior lineman John Domes received a Trench Trophy nomination (WNY’s best lineman) and Ian Baker received a Connolly Cup nomination (WNY’s best player). The win made the Griffs the number 2 ranked small school behind Cheektowaga, the only team that beat Springville last year. The Griffs first home game will be this Friday night as they take on Frontier High School, a class AA large school, in a non-league contest. Girls JV Volleyball, coach Robert Gainey The JV girls volleyball team opened the league portion of their schedule on Tuesday night against JFK and came away with a 3-0 win. The ladies had to rally from a 25-24 deficit and they did so behind the excellent serving of Sara Ehlers and strong passing by Alyssa Hunter. The girls came away with a 25-14 game two win thanks in part to Abby Stressinger’s incredible back row passing and Marin Lehr’s solid net play. The team finished the sweep behind strong play from Morgan Christ, Emily Ehlers, and Mary DiGangi. The girls hope to continue their strong play on Friday when they travel to Alden. The team is currently 2-0. Girls Modified Soccer, coach Alicia Dziak The girls have been working hard in the heat to get ready for the season. Check them out in their first scrimmage at Pioneer on Wednesday, Sept. 14.

by the railroad company until Glenn “Popâ€? Warner and Dr. Ralph Waite designed a ninehole golf course and opened the Springville Country Club on Feb. 29, 1922. Warner was named the ďŹ rst president of the club, which had sand greens until Waite donated $1,500 to convert it to bentgrass in 1929. “I think the history of the course transcends to golfers and nongolfers ‌ it’s inspiringâ€? said Danielle Rola, ofďŹ ce manager at the Springville Country Club. She noted that the longevity of some of its earliest employees and members adds to the uniqueness of the club. Thomas took over as golf pro in 1990 for Ange Alberico, who had held the position since 1959. Alberico, who also served as club manager and is now in his 90s, is still at the club almost daily as a golfer. He’s a “great guy,â€? Thomas said, and he shoots in the 70s for 18 holes. Roger Bugenhagen was hired as the greens superintendent in 1968, a position he held until passing the reins to his son, Mike, in 2012. “Roger built seven complete new holes, in-house, to make the course better,â€? Thomas said. “Usually you have to have an outside source do that ‌ but we had the talent to do it in house.â€? Bugenhagen had a “huge inuenceâ€? on the Springville Country Club, Thomas said. After George Schichtel donated 2,000 trees, Bugenhagen planted them all, from Park Road north to the cornďŹ eld. Naming Mike Bugenhagen as his father’s successor allowed for a continuation in the operation of the course. Not only did Mike Bugenhagen have his father’s legacy, he had been an employee of the club for 28 years before being named greens superintendent. “That continuity is very important ‌ and it has been very important,â€? Thomas said. “Even just with the irrigation system ‌ which probably has four to ďŹ ve miles of pipe ‌ and 10 miles of wires ‌ you have to know where those are.â€? The continuity of the employees also gives members trust in the Springville Country Club. “Our members trust what we know and what we do,â€? he said. “We’re very much appreciated by our members ‌ and that’s rare.â€? The appreciation goes both ways when with the club recently celebrated its quarter century members. Members who have been with the club for at least 25 years were honored and asked to share their memories of the club. “It was so inspiring for me ‌ to hear their stories and their memories,â€? Rola said. “They have their own fabric of

the club ‌ that history is pretty interesting.â€? Old photographs and the history of the club were on display for members to view, including a photo of the 2006 ďŹ re that destroyed the pro shop. “That was tough ‌ it was May 8, so it was right at the beginning of our season,â€? Thomas said. “We opened the new one in 2007, on time and under budget.â€? There have also been new clubhouses built, most recently in 2002, to keep up with changing times. While no big changes are on the horizon,
Thomas said the Springville Country Club is always looking ahead to the future, to what they plan to do, or aspire to accomplish. “We’re known as Western New York’s friendliest country club,â€? Thomas said. “There is no pretentiousness here ‌ it’s member owned and member driven.â€? For more information on the Springville Country Club, including how to become a member, visit www.

PROPOSITION NO. 1 - DISTRICT-WIDE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT, 2016 Shall the following resolutions be adopted, to-wit: RESOLVED, that the Board of Education (the “Board”) of the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District, Cattaraugus and Erie Counties, New York (the “District”), is hereby authorized to undertake a District-wide capital improvements project consisting of the reconstruction and renovation of, and the construction of improvements and upgrades to, various District buildings and facilities (and the sites thereof) to implement various health, safety, accessibility and code compliance measures required by the State Education Department in connection with any significant capital project and various other measures that are generally described in (but not to be limited by) the plan prepared by the District with the assistance of Gordon W. Jones Associates, Architects and Campus Construction Management Group Inc. (the “Project Plan”), which is summarized herein and is available for public inspection in the offices of the District Clerk (collectively, the “Project”), such work being expected to include, without limitation and to the extent as and where required: improvements at one or more of the buildings to include health/safety, accessibility, and code compliance work including ADA upgrades to lavatories and door hardware, stage lifts, elevators, sprinkler system, water service upgrades including backflow preventers, kitchen sanitary piping and grease traps, fire alarm system, and rerouting of an underground fire protection water line. Other building improvements are expected to include renovation of locker room and refinishing of gymnasium wood floor at the High School, Middle School gymnasium bleachers and band room reconfiguration, and renovations to the concession stand and greenhouse. Upgrades to building systems are expected to include general, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and HVAC work including carpeting, vinyl flooring, doors, lockers, electrical panels, feeders and devices, energy-efficient lighting including in the gymnasium, hot water rather than steam boilers, sinks, ventilation upgrades including roof-top units at the Middle School, ceilings, asbestos abatement, and overhead stage rigging.

All of such work (or so much thereof as can be accomplished within the overall budget for the Project, once the construction bids are received) is to be undertaken at an estimated maximum cost of $27,795,000, and will include capitalized interest during the construction period, plus the purchase of original furnishings, equipment, machinery and apparatus required in connection with the purposes for which such buildings, facilities and sites are used, and all ancillary or related work required in connection therewith. The detailed costs of the components of the Project (as generally described in the Project Plan) may be reallocated among such components, or such components may be deleted, revised or supplemented if (1) the Board shall determine that such reallocation, deletion, revision or supplementation is in the best interests of the District and (2) the aggregate amount to be expended for the Project shall not exceed $27,795,000 and (3) no material change shall be made in the overall scope and nature of the Project; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Board is hereby authorized to expend or apply toward such proposed Project (during the current fiscal year of the District) the entire permissible amount of $2,000,000 (plus any interest earned thereon) from the District’s Capital Improvements Reserve Fund--2016 that was established in 2016, and then to terminate such Fund; and be it further RESOLVED, that a tax is hereby voted to finance the balance of such estimated maximum cost of the Project in an amount not to exceed $25,795,000, such tax to be levied and collected in installments in such years and in such amounts as shall be determined by the Board; and be it further RESOLVED, that in anticipation of such tax, obligations of the District (including, without limitation, serial bonds, statutory installment bonds, qualified zone academy bonds, and/or lease/ purchase obligations structured as qualified zone academy bonds) are hereby authorized to be issued in an aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $25,795,000, and a tax is hereby voted to pay the interest on such obligations as the same shall become due and payable; and be it further RESOLVED, that New York State Building Aid funds expected to be received by the District are anticipated to offset a substantial part of such costs, and such funds shall, to the extent received, be applied to offset and reduce the amount of taxes herein authorized to be levied. NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that such Proposition No. 1 shall appear on the
Oktoberfest Continued from front page
The Frankfurters return for another year to bring their German roots to the festival from 6-10 p.m. Ellis lived in Germany for seven years and attended five Oktoberfests during that time. Bringing that experience to Springville was a fun way for her to keep that tradition alive. “I think the camaraderie of the community is what we’re looking for,” Ellis said. “We’ve had the same bartender, same cook … I think people just know what they’re getting.” On the lawn, the annual Southtowns German Car and Motorcycle show will give festival goers a chance to view some of the best-kept cars in the area from 2 - 5 p.m. During the car show, local vendors and businesses will be showcased. To add a spirit of competition, the best German costume and best Apfel desserts contests return for another year. Those who would like to participate in the German costume contest should come to the festival in their German garb; winners will be announced around 7 p.m. by the Frankfurters. To compete in the best Apfel (German for apple) dessert contest, bring your dish to the kitchen window by 4 p.m. the day of Oktoberfest. “We also have a surprise this year … the first annual wiener run,” Ellis said. “People will dress up in hot dog costumes and run from home to second base.” Ellis said the committee came up with the idea as a way to bring a little more
competition, and laughter, to the day. The top four fastest runners will compete in the finals, running the bases. “It’s going to make for great pictures, it will be too funny,” she said. Also new this year, the Oktoberfest will have garbagecan beer-pong set up for visitors. Ellis added that people are encouraged to bring their own lawn games to help enjoy the day. Keeping with the traditions of Germany, Mayor William Krebs will tap a wooden keg filled with Marzen beer. Ellis said the tapping of the keg is a tradition in Munich and is always done by the mayor. A fireworks show from the ball fieldwill end the night’s festivities. Ellis explained that the fireworks were an addition last year and the response was overwhelmingly positive so they continued it for 2016. “They were beautiful last year … everyone commented on them,” Ellis said. “That will
be about dusk … and I think it will be great, again.” While Oktoberfest brings a little bit of Germany to Springville, Ellis said it’s also a day for the community to come together to enjoy the beginning of fall and there are plenty of opportunities for volunteers to help make the event run smoothly. “We always need volunteers … anyone willing to help,” she said. “We need cooks, window people … really anything will help.” The free festival will take place rain or shine. The Springville Area Chamber of Commerce’s Oktoberfest is Saturday, Sept. 24, from 2-11 p.m. at Fireman’s Park, 70 Nason Blvd., off Waverly Street. For more information on the event, visit www. SpringvilleChamber.com or call 592-4746. Those looking to volunteer should contact Ellis at 724-2440, or call the Chamber office.

St. Paul’s Welcomes Community To Remember Sept. 11
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, in Springville, is inviting the public to join in a walk through the labyrinth on Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. The gathering will serve as a community remembrance of the events on Sept. 11, 2001. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the attacks, and Sept. 11 is now formally recognized as a Day of Service and Remembrance across the United States. Over 30 million Americans are expected to participate in Sept. 11 day programs promoting peace and unity as they honor those lost in the attacks, as well as survivors and service personnel who were affected by the attack. “St Paul’s invites community
members to walk with us each year on September 11 as a way to reflect and remember that tragic day.” said the Very Rev. Gary Schindler, Vicar of St. Paul’s, in a press release. “The labyrinth is a way to pray and meditate on how God leads us on our ever changing journeys as Christians.” This occasion is a good time to consider our interchangeable journeys, Schindler said. “Some years we have several people walking, sometimes only a few. Everyone is welcome to come and be a part of this prayerful endeavor,” he noted. Labyrinths are an ancient form of prayer and meditation
that date back thousands of years.Built by parishioners in the fall of 2003 and formally dedicated in the spring of 2004, the labyrinth at St. Paul’s is based on the labyrinth found at the Gothic style Chartres Cathedral near Paris, France. St. Paul’s outdoor labyrinth is located behind the church building, 591 E. Main St., in Springville.. It is open to the public during daylight hours, weather permitting. For more information about St. Paul’s, call the church office at 716-592-2153 or visit their website at http://www. stpaulsspringville.org/
Matt Krebs Earns Eagle Scout Award
A journey that began in 2004, when Matt Krebs joined scouts as a Tiger Cub, reached a pinnacle on a warm summer evening in Sprague Brook Park. On Wednesday, Aug. 17, a Court of Honor was held at the Casino Pavilion in the park to award Matt his Eagle Scout rank. The event was attended by the members of his Boy Scout troop, dignitaries from the community, as well as friends and family. Matt is a scout in Troop 524, which is based in Springville, and is sponsored by American Legion Post 431. Less than 4 percent of boys who join a Boy Scout troop earn the Eagle Scout rank. To earn the Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. In addition, a Boy Scout must lead an Eagle Scout service project. Matt’s service project replaced the main sign for The Children’s League. Formerly called The League for the Handicapped, the Springvillebased special needs school was in need of a new sign to reflect their new name. In addition, they hoped to make it easier for people to see the sign from the road. Matt led the design meetings, evaluated vendors, built a budget estimate, and
raised over $3,200 in donations. In addition, he coordinated the demolition of the old sign, construction of the new sign, and landscaping around the site. Matt said he learned about project management and fundraising during the year-long project. “It’s one thing to speak in public,” said Krebs, “but it is another thing to stand in front of a group of strangers and ask them for a significant amount of money.” During the Court of Honor, Matt recognized all the organizations that donated money for the sign, including American Legion Post 431, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5260, Kiwanis Club of Springville, Springville Lions Club, and an anonymous donor. In addition, the project received key donations of supplies and material from Springville Lowe’s, Jake’s Greenhouse, Waterman’s Nursery, and Dave Miller’s Mulch. Matt worked closely with Christine Lewis, the former Director of The Children’s League, in planning and coordinating the project. Matt stated that Lewis was a

pleasure to work with, always kind and encouraging when challenges stood in the way. Springville Mayor Bill Krebs, who is also Matt’s grandfather, presided over the Court of Honor. Scoutmaster Mike Fullington presented the Eagle award during the ceremony. This held special significance for Matt’s family, because years ago in 1988 Marty Krebs, Matt’s father, also received his Eagle from Mike Fullington, then Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 543 of Springville. As a Cub Scout in Pack 642, Matt recalls fond memories of performing skits at the annual Blue and Gold dinners, launching water rockets at Sprague Brook Park, and racing Pinewood Derby cars. At the Court of Honor, Matt shared stories from his Boy Scout experiences exploring at Sabattis Scout Camp in the Adirondacks, canoeing in Algonquin, as well as mountain climbing and white water rafting in Maine. Matt plans to continue community service and outdoor adventures while pursuing a dual major in physics and mathematics at Binghamton University.
