It’s the last full weekend in March, and there’s still plenty to do on and off the slopes! Head to Holiday Valley, where several lifts and trails remain open. Twilight skiing will be offered through March 25. This means most lifts will be open until 4:30 p.m., and Cindy’s and Sunrise will stay open until 7 p.m. Starting March 26, lifts will be open daily to 4:30 p.m. through the end of the season. On Saturday, it’s time to hot dog it down HV’s Chute! Check out the Old School Mogul Contest, hosted by City Garage. Old school skis and apparel are encouraged, and while this is called a “contest,” it’s really just a fun way to navigate the bumps and model your retro digs for a chance to win cool prizes. The event takes place at the Chute at 10 a.m. Maple anyone? March 25 and 26 marks the second New York State Maple Weekend of the season. Check out the article on page 1 for more details. This weekend is a great time to head to the Village for some retail therapy. End of ski season means end of season sales and huge savings on everything you’ll need for next year. Grab a bite at one of the many eateries, take in some live music and make a day and night of it! See the entertainment schedule on page 3. This weekend is all about enjoying early spring in the Enchanted Mountains. Indoors or out, you’re sure to have a roarin’ good time!

Climb aboard the S.S. American next weekend as the Ellicottville High School Drama Club presents madcap musical, Anything Goes, debuting Thursday, March 30. The musical will mark the first under the direction of Jon Wilder, who has more than 30 years of experience directing at Salamanca High School, as well as the Lancaster Opera House with a group called Opera-lytes.

“When I was asked to direct the show, I went to last year’s program to see what students they had available and I noticed that they didn’t have any high school boys. The oldest boy was an eighth grader who subsequently played in The Little Mermaid last fall,” said Wilder. “Due to the fact that we were solight on boys and heavy on girls, I thought that Anything See ECS Musical page 4

Eat, Drink, Dance, Repeat at Balloons

By Elizabeth Riggs

With its delicious house specials, fun décor, weekly appetizer and drinks specials, and abundant live entertainment, it’s easy to see why Balloons Restaurant and Nightclub has floated to the top of Ellicottville’s list of go-to venues for both locals and skiers alike. Balloons, which has been open for nearly 30 years, is a full-service restaurant, dishing up house specials like gourmet burgers, beer fries and chicken wings, as well as a bar and night club with an eclectically-furnished interior. “Our atmosphere is one of the most unique in Ellicottville,” said Balloons owner Mike Kerns. “We have managed to combine a minimalist, rustic, modern look with pieces of unique art and antiques that I have personally collected over a number of years.” According to Kerns, it’s the combination of unique décor, live music and an affordable menu that bring in so many different customers. “Our atmosphere really caters to a diverse group of guests. We have large groups and families that join us for lunch and dinner. Then the music aficionados come in to enjoy our live entertainment and finally, the younger, latenight crowd comes in to hear all of the latest tunes played

by our house DJ and dance the night away on one of our two dance floors,” said Kerns. Another draw for customers is the variety of events and specials always taking place at Balloons. Mondays mark 25 cent chicken wing night, Thirsty Thursdays offer $3 drinks from 9 p.m. until close, Fridays and Saturdays include a $5 happy hour menu from 3-6 p.m., and on Sunday, you can stop by Balloons to enjoy one of the best Bloody Marys in town. Aside from its drink specials, Balloons’ two large bars are always fully stocked with more than 20 craft and domestic beers, which make it a go-to venue for nightlife. But it also appeals to families with its affordable menu offering everything from fresh salads to beef on weck, and gourmet burgers to chicken and waffles. “We pride ourselves on using the freshest ingredients and creating affordable, memorable and delicious meals in-house,” Kerns said. “We are definitely renowned for our chicken wings, but our healthier options are always a big hit too.” Another big hit with customers is the staff’s dedication to go above and beyond to provide the best possible service to customers. “We have a really attentive and fun staff,” Kerns said.

“They make all the difference and set us apart from a lot of other places.” What also sets Balloons apart is their full calendar of live music. Their talent roster hails from both near and far, and includes some of the best local, national and international touring musicians. Local performers include the likes of Tommy Z, Robert Parker, Hayden Fogle, and other acts like Victor Wainwright, Jeff Jensen and Jason Ricci travel in from Memphis and New Orleans. “The musical genre at Balloons is diverse,” noted Kerns. “You can find blues, funk, classic rock, folk, reggae, soul, and party bands on stage at Balloons.” With so much variety in their musical performances, and the ski trade drawing visitors to the Ellicottville area, Balloons is consistently pulling in a variety of visitors, as well as dedicated locals. “We have some of the best local customers that any establishment anywhere could ask for and we also have a large influx of visitors, so there is always a good mix of people from near and far,” said Kerns. “There is never a dull moment.” For a sneak peak of the excitement, learn more about Balloons on their website: www.balloonsrestaurant.com or visit their Facebook page: @balloonsevl.

Town & Village Continued from front page

Burrell commented that a grants writer would be aware of grants as they became available, and that the grants obtained could more than make up for her fee. The Town board resolved that they would hire Cihak and Upper Edge Consulting, in conjunction with the Village of Ellicottville, at a cost to be negotiated by the Village board, for a two-year contract with a one-year opt-out clause. Town/Village Department of Public Works The Town of Ellicottville and Village of Ellicottville continue working together to create a new department of public works, to be headed by a director who will oversee a joint water/sewer district, as well as the town’s highway department and the village’s existing public works department. Steve Mountain, Town of Batavia engineer, and Jeff Smith of Municipal Solutions will be assisting Ellicottville in structuring the position, and are preparing a proposal for a joint district here. Town Engineer Mark Alianello presented a list outlining the circumstances, needs and goals of the Town in relation to the position. Some of the responsibilities of the director would be: • providing technical and administrative support to the highway department • creating and maintaining a GIS mapping system for town sewer and water systems • working on consolidating the water systems of the village and the town • supervising the water department • assisting the planning and

zoning boards in engineering reviews A job description and salary range should be ready by the April Town board meeting. Highway Department Report Highway Supt. Tom Scharf presented a report generated by the CAMP-RS system, listing all town roads with a priority value to each. This year’s projects will include Horn Hill, High Meadows, Valley Village, Witch Hollow and Bryant Hill. Scharf discussed the past policy of the Highway Dept. to replace the loader every three years when the warranty expired. He received a quote on state bid for $130,000 with a trade-in allowance of $97,000 for the 2014 loader. Authorization was approved to buy a new loader. Approval was also given to rent a road sweeper for one month, at a cost of $2,500. Town/Village HVAC System It was reported at the February meeting that bids were received by the Village, and the Village engineer recommended accepting the low bid. The Town board reviewed the recommendation, and approved the award of the contract to Innovative Mechanical System, Inc. for installation of the town hall HVAC system, with a low bid of $88,900 and a contingency of $5,000. New Business The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce has requested permission to use the Town Gazebo for several events in 2017, and all were approved by the board. The Chamber will be required to provide the Town with an insurance

certificate naming the Town of Ellicottville as an additional insured. Events include the following: • The Gazebo Music Series starting Friday, June 30, and continuing every Thursday through Aug. 11, with live entertainment from 7 to 9 p.m. each night. • Stroll the Streets Movie Nights on Friday nights, Aug. 11 through Sept. 15. • The Ellicottville Outdoor Expo June 3, the Summer Music Festival July 1 and 2, Rock ‘N Oldies Weekend Sept. 17, Fall Festival Oct. 7-8, and the Christmas Stroll Dec. 2. The next regular meeting of the town of Ellicottville’s board is scheduled for Wednesday, April 19 at 6 p.m. in the Town/Village Hall.

ECS Musical Continued from front page

Goes would be a good fit.” Anything Goes, set upon ocean greyhound S.S. American, is the story of nightclub singer/evangelist Reno Sweeney (Andee Pierce) who is en route from New York City to England. Her pal Billy Crocker (Robert Castillow) has stowed away to be near his love, Hope Harcourt (Heather Nicholson), but the problem is, Hope is engaged to the wealthy Sir Evelyn Oakleigh (Gabe Snyder). Joining this love triangle on board the luxury liner are Public Enemy #13, Moonface Martin (Evan Quinn)and his ‘Mol and Flaky Chorine’ Bonnie (Kayleigh Coolidge). Reno and Martin join forces to help Billy in his quest to win Hope’s heart, all while entertaining audiences with mistaken identities, quickchange disguises, hilarious situations, romance, and shipshape sailors. “It was written by Cole Porter, originally in 1934, the time period where it is set,” said Wilder. “Coming right out of the roaring 20s into the jazz age and a lot of the musical will be recognizable.” With songs like “Take Me Back to Manhattan,” “You’re

the Top,” “It’s De-lovely,” and of course, “Anything Goes,” there are several popular tunes that audiences may recognize. “Quite a few of the signature songs are ones that have been sung and covered by many, many jazz and pop artists,” said Wilder. “It was revived in the 60s and that’s the version we are doing.” With the plot of the play set in the 1930s, for Wilder another appeal of the show is the subject matter and the education it is inadvertently giving the students. “One of the things I really like about this musical is that it had so many historical and linguistic teaching points,” said Wilder. “Historically, in the 30s, it’s important for the kids to learn that travel was confined to ocean liners. Half the fun of it was the celebrities that would be on the boat. So, they may have been traveling in second or third class but they still would be able to rub elbows with these famoussocialites.” In addition to providing teaching moments for the students, Wilder’s production has also required a little bit of good, old-fashioned elbow grease as he and students and families have worked to create the set. “We’ve been working Saturdays, six and seven-hour days, building the set and now they are painting it,” said Wilder. “Since there is no fly space over the stage, I had to create a unistage so we built a ship right on the stage and

that’s stays there the whole time so that serves as the main vehicle for the set. “I designed some trucks to go on and off the set. One is a brig, like a jail, another one is the staterooms where the actors come in and out.” In addition to designing the set, Wilder has also enlisted an all-adult, professional orchestra to perform in the musical. “I am directing it and I will be conducting the orchestra as well,” Wilder said. “The orchestra are basically musician friends of mine who have played with me over the years in different Western New York orchestras. One Ellicottville student is playing mallet and auxiliary percussion.” In addition to Wilder’s direction, a host of ECS staff are also contributing to its production, including: Jamie Edwards, Accompanist; Pat Waldron, Vocal Director; Crystal Wilder, Producer; and Elizabeth Weber, Choreographer. “It’s my hope that people of all ages will be able to watch this show and be moved by the music as well as be entertained by the comedy and the heartfelt relationships that develop throughout the show,” Wilder said. ECS will perform Anything Goes on Thursday, March 30, and Friday, March 31 at 7 p.m., and Saturday, April 1 at 2 p.m. Admission is $7 at the door.

From Sneakers to Cleats

By Indrek Kongats

“Take me out to the ball game” was coined over 109 years ago and is still going strong, sung loud and proud at each and every baseball game across the nation. Spring arrived at 6:29 a.m. March 20 as the sure sign that the baseball and softball seasons are once again upon us. The New York Yankees already top the Spring Season MLB American League standings at 18-6. MLB regular season starts Sunday, April 2 and baseball fans will be glued to their television sets to take in the action. Fortunately, ECS baseball fans can get a jump start over the Yankees fans as the Section VI Class D regular season starts this Saturday, March 25 for the Eagles. The boys’ Varsity baseball team will play their first game at St. Bonaventure, taking on their league rivals, the Sherman Wildcats at 11 a.m. The Eagles’ first home game will be played on Thursday, March 30, against the neighboring Randolph Cardinals at 4:30 p.m. The ECS baseball team hopes to improve upon their 6-13 2016 season with returning players to watch, the likes of RJ Alvarez, Cad Boldt, Griffin Chudy, Justin Grinols and Evan Palmatier, familiar names from the basketball season. The Eagles are once again coached by Chris Mendell, a

notable baseball star in his own right. Coach Mendell played for Division I St. Bonaventure University and is still in the Bonnies’ record books, tied for 3 rd in all-time single season (1991) winning percentage as a pitcher with an outstanding .800 average. The Eagles hope to make a push in 2017 to return to a level of play that dominated the league from 2001 -2007 being a top 10 team in the state. The last time ECS won the Sectional Championship was in 2002. Time to throw some heat boys! The Lady Eagles softball team is about to start as well, but will not play at home until Thursday, April 20 when they take on the Pine Valley Panthers at 4:30 p.m. The Lady Eagles are coached by Matt Finn and they look to improve upon their 3-14 record from 2016. Evie Cortez, another familiar name from the basketball season, will most likely throw out the first pitch of the season. Other lady hoopsters joining Cortez in swapping their sneakers for cleats are Jenna Aldrich, Marissa Hamilton, Emmalea Erlandson, Alyssa Przywara, Halie Mowery and Shelby Imhoff. Many local softball stars have gone onto play college ball and are also within sight of fans playing for both St. Bonaventure University and Hilbert College. For the

Bonnies, already 23 games into their season, No. 99 sophomore Brittany Fair hails from Hinsdale, NY having played for Cuba-Rushford high school where she batted .611. The Lady Bonnies are 7-16 overall and will play their first home game on Saturday, April 1 against La Salle. The 6-7 men’s baseball team will take on the UB Bulls at home on Tuesday, March 28 at Fred Handler Park. Hilbert College in Hamburg has two local softball stars, No. 21 freshman Nateal Papasergi from Allegany-Limestone and No. 24 freshman Kaitlyn Snayczuk from West Valley. The Lady Hawks are 6-6 overall and will play their first home game of the season Friday, March 24 against Elmira College. This will be a double header with the first game starting at 3 p.m. followed at 5 p.m. for the second. In other ECS sports, keep your eye on the weather as golf season is also upon us. The Ellicottville Central School Golf Team will take to the links on Monday, April 3 at 3:30. The team will take on Randolph Central School at the Cardinal Hills Golf Course in Randolph. Additionally, the ECS Track and Field and Trap Teams are getting under way. Stay tuned to the Ellicottville Times and as their information and 2017 schedules get posted. In the meantime, as you can see, there are plenty of reasons to take someone or just yourself ‘to a ball game’ be it baseball, softball or golf!

This Week’s Crossword Puzzle

Odyssey of the Mind Competition March 25 By Elizabeth Riggs

While many high school graduates fondly remember participation in athletics, band and choir, these days, Ellicottville students have even more options, including the growingly popular Odyssey of the Mind. Odyssey of the Mind, an international educational program, provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. ECS Odyssey of the Mind Coordinator Colleen Bower has been involved with the program for 14 years, first starting as a coach when her son, who is now 23, was recommended by his teacher to be part of the program. According to her, though the subject matter of Odyssey of the Mind is undoubtedly different, it teaches students similar values to sports and other activities. “It is very similar to sports,” Bower said. “Teams work together to reach the ultimate goal – winning the regional competition and advancing to the upper level competitions. Odyssey of the Mind is a great way for students to use their creative thinking skills and team working skills to come up with fantastic solutions to very complex and involved problems.” In Odyssey of the Mind, team members use creativity to solve problems that range

from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. Solutions are then presented to competition on the local, state, and world level, which includes thousands of teams throughout the United States, as well as from 25 other countries. ECS has been involved with Odyssey of the Mind for decades, and has had multiple successful teams in past years. In 2013, a team of high school students placed second at the state competition, and in 2015, a team of fourth and fifth graders finished second at SUNY Binghamton, both advancing to the World Finals at Michigan State University. “This year we have four teams competing in the regional competition in Wellsville on Saturday, March 25—three elementary teams (Div.1) and one middle school team (Div. 2),” said Bower. “In October, the team members were selected and the coaches chose a long-term problem for their teams to solve. These solutions are very involved and take months to perfect. Many teams practice three or more days a week after school and again on Saturdays.” In addition to their assigned problems, as part of Odyssey, students also must prepare for another part of the competition called Spontaneous.

“This is the ‘think on your feet’ part of the competition,” said Bower. “The teams do not know what will be asked of them until they enter the competition site, so we started Spontaneous Saturdays at our school to help prepare the teams for that part of the competition.” This year’s ECS teams include: Division 1 – Odd-aBot: Allison Pfeffer, Emma Lafferty, Katie Bless, Kara White, Mia Giannicchi, Tea Fuller, coached by John Pfeffer; Division 1 – It’s Time, OMER: Sophia Sundeen, Shelby Colburn, Adrynn Dederick, Colton Taylor, Jadyn Doutt, Gracie Conklin, Gwen DeChane, coached by Michele Sundeen; Division 1 - To Be Continued: A Superhero Cliffhanger: William Benatovich, Kyle Robinson, Morgan Krotz, Adelaide Weber, Keelin Finn, Evan Bauer, Mikey Kerns, coached by Katie Benatovich; and Division 2 – Catch Us If You Can: Alex Silvernail, Aidan Murray, Katie Krotz, Olivia Bacon, Jessi Rust, Katrina DeChane, coached by Clay Silvernail. The ECS Odyssey teams are set for regional competition this Saturday, March 25 at Wellsville. Teams who finish first in the regional competition then continue on to the New York State competition at SUNY Binghamton on April 8.

“Vicious Circle” by C.J. Box

The plane circled in the dark. Joe Pickett could just make out down below a figure in the snow and timber, and then three other figures closing in. There was nothing he could do about it. And Joe knew that he might be their next target. The Cates family had always been a bad lot. Game warden Joe Pickett had been able to strike a fierce blow against them when the life of his daughter April had been endangered, but he’d always wondered if there’d be a day of reckoning. He’s not wondering any longer. Joe knows they’re coming after him and his family now. He has his friend Nate by his side, but will that be enough this time? All he can do is prepare...and wait for them to make the first move. This book is currently available in book format only at the Ellicottville Memorial Library.

Volunteer Trail Guide Training at Audubon Wednesdays in April

Question: How can Audubon Community Nature Center’s four-member education staff provide an outdoor experience for more than 3,000 schoolchildren every spring? Answer: With the help of volunteers who have a passionate enthusiasm for sharing nature with children. Trail Guides volunteers are essential to the education programming at Audubon. Most often these volunteers lead Discovery Walks with elementary age students visiting Audubon on a fieldtrip. Hour and a half Discovery Walks consist of a series of activities that engage the students in learning. Audubon is offering training to provide new and returning

volunteers with the skills to lead small groups on Audubon trails and become Trail Guides. On four Wednesday mornings in April, education staff will teach volunteers how to inspire curiosity about the natural world through ageappropriate activities outdoors. The training will also cover how to work with different ages of children, tips and tricks to keep them on task, fun things to do outside, rainy day plans, and local natural history. Information and skills learned in this training are also useful in other volunteer positions at Audubon. The 10 a.m. to noon training on Wednesdays, April 5, 12, 19 and 26, 2017, is required for both new and returning trail guide volunteers.

If you are interested in becoming a trail guide and want to learn what it is all about, you can attend the New Trail Guide Orientation on Wednesday, March 29, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Experience with children is helpful, but natural history knowledge is not necessary. For answers to questions or concerns about the requirements, you can call (716) 569-2345 during business hours. Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite notetaking device and reminded that the training will take place inside and outside. You can enjoy a BYO lunch and optional walk after the training. Reservations are appreciated by Monday, April 3, 2017: Call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or click through Attend a Program/Programs and Workshops under Plan Your Visit at auduboncnc.org.

FLITE Team News Continued from front page

against the 9th ranked skier and defeated her 35- 0. She then met fellow Eastern Division skier, and friend in the round of 16, beating her 29-6. That victory earned her the right to ski against the No. 1 ranked skier in the round of 8. There Crotty lost her first dual by a close 19-16 margin. That ended her bid for first place, as the best she could do now was 5th place. The dual she would have to win to keep that alive was against the 5th ranked skier, who she lost to 21-14. Hoping to end her duals on a winning note, she would have to do it against one of her friends, and former FLITE Team member, Elissa Cole. Crotty and Cole skied a great dual, which Crotty won 20-15 to secure 7th place. Congratulations Lexi on a

Top 8 Finish in Duals at Junior Nationals! Crotty and Cole were joined in the Top 8 by former FLITE Team Athlete Maggie Ryan, who is the 2017 US Junior National Dual Moguls Champion! Next up for both Crotty and fellow FLITE team athlete Wyatt Antkiewicz is US Nationals in Steamboat Springs CO from March 28-April 2. Ladies Qualification is Thursday, March 30, with Men’s Qualification and Finals and Ladies Finals on Friday, March 31. Dual Moguls will be on April 1. In other FLITE team news, the B skiers were in Killington last weekend for Eastern Freestyle B Champs. Annie Dietrich took Top Honors on the Female side winning Female Junior Moguls. Sasha

MacGregor had a strong showing finishing 11th in her age, 25th overall. The men were led by RJ Cancilla who finished 3rd in M15, 6th overall, while Brandon Crotty improved his placing from his first run to finish 12th in his age; 22nd overall. Matthew Cancilla had a strong day, finishing 15th in his age, 32nd overall. Excellent showing FLITE Team!

Floyd Marshall Lucas Jr. 1936-2017

Floyd Marshall Lucas Jr. was born Dec. 5, 1936 in Buffalo, NY, the son of the late Floyd M. and Lillian Barbara [Fraser] Lucas. He was the oldest of 13 children. He is survived by his brothers: Roger S. [Linda]; Raymond [Denise] and Mark S. Lucas. Sisters June M [late Warren] Bork, Paulette M. Sharkey and a sister-inlaw Georgetta (late William) Lucas . He was predeceased by brothers William T., Dennis W., Bryan R., John, David and sister Raymah Elizabeth. Floyd married Joyce Marian Razey on March 2, 1956 in the East Otto United Methodist Church by Rev. Robert Jones. Floyd met her when they both attended summer church camp at Buffalo Bible Institute, which was across Cazenovia Creek from Southgate Plaza in West Seneca. Floyd is the father of Robert Darrel [Judith], David Vern [Barbara] and Virginia May Lucas. He was a loving grandfather to Arrianna Jocymar Clark, Craig James Lucas, Adam Robert Lucas, Courtney Sullivan (John) Bacon and Stephanie Melissa (Brian) Johnson and step-grandfather to David Henry Hoelscher. Floyd had six great grandchildren: Mikayla Marie,

Jace Evan, Aiden James, Phoebe Veronica Lucas, Addalyn Spencer Bacon and the late Odin Marshall Lucas; Madison Elizabeth, Evan Neil Johnson; two step great grandchildren: Cadence Marie and Alexander David Hoelscher. Floyd has many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Floyd and his family moved to East Otto in June 1974 where he enjoyed gardening and raising his turkeys, pigs, a pony, a few cows, bulls and chickens. He wanted 12 pullets but ended up with 12 roosters. Next time he made sure he had pullets. Floyd enjoyed hunting deer, ruffled grouse with his dog Brownie, musky fishing and camping at Cassadaga Lake at Holtz’s on Dale Drive. Floyd was a member of the East Otto United Methodist Church and served several terms on the Board of Trustees. He helped paint the exterior of the church by climbing a very high ladder to paint the steeple so the elderly gentlemen wouldn’t risk falling. Floyd was a member of the William C. Edmunds Fire department for 15 years before taking his exemption. He served as chairperson of

their Friday night Bingo. He not only responded to fire calls, but drove the ambulance on many occasions. He even assisted with their Trash and Treasure Auction by calling on merchants for their donations. He worked just about every chicken barbecue. He was also with the 50 th celebration parade in 1989. Floyd never graduated from high school, quitting school midway through 10 th grade. Floyd started working at an early age as a pin boy at the Klaiber Bowling Alleys on Niagara Street. He then worked for Yawman and Erby Office Machines on Franklin Street in Buffalo before he was hired at Donner Hanna Coke Corporation on Abby and Mystic Streets in South Buffalo as a crane operator. He studied and obtained his stationary engineers license. He retired in 1984 after 29 years and 5 months when the plant shut down. He would tell everyone that there were only three people left there when he shut off the last light bulb - the owner, a security guard and himself. Memorials may be made to William C. Edmunds Fire Company Ambulance Fund.

Springville Village Board Tyler Smilo at SCA March 31 Approves 2017-2018 Budget

By Derek M. Otto

The regular meeting of the Village of Springville Board of Trustees met Monday, March 20. The meeting was opened with a moment of silence for the Skelton family. Trustees Wikman and Skelton were not present. Village administrator Liz Melock asked the board to approve the 2016 LOSAP or

Length of Service Awards Program, the service awards points for local firefighters. Mayor Krebs noted that distribution and amount were well within the recommended amounts from the village auditors. Melock then went over modifications to the village employee handbook. Most modifications were

corrections that mirrored the language in the new village employee contract. An important change in the handbook was the driver’s license policy of the village. It was recommended that the village use the NYS LENS program to verify the status of drivers. The License Event Notification System allows employers to monitor the status of renewal or suspensions on the license and also reports accidents or traffic convictions. If there is a problem with a village employee and their license, it will be addressed by the department head. Melock closed by asking the board to approve a motion to move the public hearing on Solar energy to April 17, 2016 from its slated See Village Board page 5

Business at SGI: The Key to Success

ByGwendolynFruehauf,SGIStudentReporter

It doesn’t matter what career you pursue, where you live, or what you spend your time doing— business always finds a way to weave itself into your life. But what is business? Although there are many different meanings, one extensive definition would be a person, partnership, or corporation engaged in commerce, manufacturing, or a service. Each word in this description can be further broken down into subtopics, parts of a larger area of discussion. Business See Business page 4

Tyler Smilo is bringing his simple and honest acoustic sound to Springville Center for the Arts on March 31. Born in Texas and raised deep in the Rustbelt of Ohio, Smilo lived a vagabond’s lifestyle before settling in Erie, PA and taking the city’s music scene by storm. Americanainfluenced folk songs are mostly autobiographical and relatable to the “everyman.” The release of two successful solo albums: Blood Into Sound and Dust In a Grave, a series of official videos dubbed The Rooftop Sessions, and fronting

his own full band Daybreak Radio, has earned Smilo accolades in both regional and national entertainment publications.

The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are available at the door for $15 or presale for $12 by calling (716) 592-9038 or at SpringvilleArts.org.

Every Wednesday, starting on May 17, Lloyd’s Taco Truck will be in the front parking lot. Lloyd’s features an old and new school array of taco and Tex-Mex style cuisine and even a bacon wrapped hotdog. Their schedule and menu is online at www.whereslloyd. com.

Food Trucks Return to Fiddler’s Green Manor

By Derek M. Otto

Last March, Springville’s Fiddler’s Green Nursing Home underwent a change of management. The new administrator, Mark Smeltzer, took over as administrator and some changes could be seen. First was the repaving of the parking lot and second was the fact that Chef’s Restaurant and Lloyd’s Taco Truck began appearing in that new parking lot. According to Smeltzer, the food truck idea was the brainchild of their marketing director. “The food trucks were invited and they provided residents, employees and the Springville community a chance at something different,” said Smeltzer. Even better Smeltzer added, is that “Ten percent of the

facebook.com/springvilletimes Schrantz Retiring After More Than 40 Years at BCH

On an April day in 1972, a nursing school graduate walked through the front doors of Bertrand Chaffee Hospital. She sat on a wooden bench outside of then-CEO Roger Ford’s door – a bench that is still in use at the front of the hospital – waiting for an interview for a medical/ surgical nurse position. That new nurse was Darlene Tworek – soon to be Darlene Schrantz. And within six months, she would be married to her husband Fred, relocated to Springville, and started on a career in nursing at BCH. Little did she know that BCH was the place where she would spend the next four decades. Schrantz will complete her tenure as a full-time nursing administrator at the end of March, opening up a new chapter in her life. But to describe the previous chapters, she and her husband Fred – a social studies teacher at Springville-Griffith Institute – grew up within blocks of each other in Dunkirk, which is where Darlene first got a look at the medical profession. “In high school [Cardinal Mindszenty], I had a part-time job as ‘cart girl’ at Brooks Memorial Hospital, serving dinners on the floor for three hours each evening,” Schrantz explained. “I loved it – how it felt to talk to patients, and to be part of their care.” A guidance counselor recommended that she pursue nursing education at Sisters of Charity in Buffalo, where she received her diploma in 1972. By the time she took her boards later that year, she was a full-fledged, full-time nurse at BCH. By 1980, Schrantz had moved to the Critical Care Unit, a four-bed unit for patients who needed a higher level of care. In 1985, a manager position opened in “OB,” the obstetrics floor, and Schrantz was ready for the responsibility. “After working in the CCU for so long, I was always prepared for the worst to happen, and I brought some of that perspective to OB,” said Schrantz. “I learned so much in that unit, but I think I made incremental and meaningful changes in the OB department, too. “With long-time nurses like Lorayne Proctor, RN, we trained nurses on intravenous [IV] starts, and made sure warmers were always ready,” she continued. “While I was there, 100 percent of our OB nurses were certified in NALS – neonatal life support – which was a great achievement for our small hospital.” Schrantz noted that she had many opportunities to receive training at Women and Children’s Hospital in Buffalo, and was about to bring

techniques and knowledge from that larger facility to our rural one. Barb Childs, RN worked alongside Schrantz for many years, and remarked on her intelligence, fairness and compassion. “She was always conscientious in carrying out her job,” said Childs. “When she moved from CCU [critical care unit] to OB, she was determined that she would learn everything about OB and earn the respect of the nurses in that department…and she did.” Childs added, “I’m proud to have her as a friend.” During the hospital’s expansion in 1989, Schrantz explained how nurses were part of the building process. “The architects included us the design discussions, showing us the blueprints and asking for our opinions of what we wanted to see,” she said. That’s just one example where Schrantz was given “a seat at the table.” She feels fortunate that there were frequent and constant opportunities for the perspective of the nursing staff to be recognized and incorporated into hospital growth. “At major decision points for the hospital, from labor negotiations to adding new services, I’ve been glad that nurses have been listened to and appreciated.” By 1993, the children she and her husband had raised in Springville were young adults, leaving Schrantz with some free time. Schrantz made the choice to earn a bachelor of science in nursing, taking courses at the University at Buffalo from 1993-1998. “I learned about management, budgeting, writing successful proposals and how to motivate clinical staff,” she said. Schrantz’s family and children were by her side at every stage of her career at BCH. At the start, her son Matt had the distinction of being the first Mercy Flight of WNY patient in 1981 – flown to BCH with Schrantz as the first unofficial flight nurse. Matt took a position in community outreach for Mercy Flight during college, and a newspaper clipping from the time cites how he planned to go to law school. Today, Matt is a lawyer in Albany, where he lives with his wife, Cara.

Schrantz’s daughter Susan (Susie) pursued a career in teaching, and settled in Virginia with her husband John. Susie was diagnosed with leukemia in 2015, and Schrantz supported her daughter throughout her treatments and hospitalizations. She passed away from cancer in 2016, leaving behind two children, and Schrantz’s large extended family to grieve the loss. In her retirement, Schrantz will have more time to visit with her grandchildren. “At each step of my career I’ve been given more responsibility, and everyone here has been there to help, not stand in the way.” Schrantz described the response from the community while the hospital navigated a bankruptcy filing as an example of that: “People and businesses stepped forward with raffles and spaghetti dinners, contributing hardearned money to save their hospital.” She continued, “I believe there is an energy in the leadership team that will keep this place working for the community…BCH has been responsive to community needs, from reducing inpatient beds to adding primary care and specialist services – we’ll be here for a long time.” Schrantz brought her clinical and management experience to hospital expansions in 2002, for the Emergency Department, and 2010, with the renovation of the third floor to accommodate the Primary Care Center. “My last few years here have been really fun.” After more than four decades as a nurse, Schrantz is happy to offer some words of advice to nurses and aspiring medical professionals: “Don’t ever forget to look at your patient – use all your senses, especially touch, to understand how they feel.” Jennifer Siragusa, RN, who has stepped into the director of patient care services role that Schrantz established, had this to share. “Darlene has had a tremendous influence on my nursing career – she gave me my first nursing job in 1999.” Siragusa continued, “As a leader in the healthcare field, Darlene taught me that quality care is the number one priority for nurses and for our hospital…she continues to be an advocate for her nursing staff and is a very compassionate nurse and manager…I aspire to be as great a leader as she is.” “I appreciated the opportunities, chances and challenges at BCH,” Schrantz said. And there’s no other job Schrantz would rather do: “I’ve grown up in this job and I’ve loved what I’ve done the entire time…If I were born 100 times, I’d always want to be a nurse.”

Letter from the Editor

I first heard of Plantasia about eight years ago when my family became friends with people who own a landscape design business in Springville. In late March, they would spend endless hours preparing for the show. The week leading up to the event is filled with trips back and forth to the Fairgrounds to deliver equipment and supplies and several days before are spent assembling the gardens inside the building. We wanted to see what it was all about, so several years ago, my family headed to the show. The first time there, I wasn’t sure what to expect. At an indoor venue, how much landscape design can really be on display? You’d be surprised! Each garden is very elaborate, featuring such things as stone walls, water features, various flowers and plants, walkways and unique pieces, my favorite of which has been a hanging outdoor bed designed by those same friends. Besides the garden section, there’s a retail section where you can find everything from mowers to grills to wind chimes, and a Children’s Garden, where the kids can get a little time to themselves. Plantasia runs all weekend long and is a great way to get out of the house and experience spring, as well as support the local businesses who will be there. Check out the article on page 1 to find out more. - Alicia Dziak, Editor, Springville Times

Volunteer Bird Surveyors Needed

If you’re an experienced birder who is adept at identifying Western New York birds by sight and call, consider becoming a volunteer bird surveyor. These surveys are critical to understanding which species use area habitats for migrating, breeding, or over-wintering. Monitoring at Buckhorn Island State Park The Buffalo Audubon Society and Audubon partners are working at Buckhorn Island State Park to remove invasive species and improve habitat for birds and other wildlife. They are recruiting volunteers to assist in bird monitoring to

measure the impact of their habitat restoration work. This is part of a Great Lakes-wide effort coordinated by the National Audubon Society. Birds will be monitored by walking 100 meters transects established at several locations at Buckhorn Island State Park. Two birders will conduct the surveys in the morning (roughly sunrise to 11 a.m.) on each survey day, with one birder beginning the transect route, followed by the second birder who starts about 15 minutes later. We are hoping to survey the park at least once per week during migration; a higher frequency is preferred.

and artisanal products everything you need to create your own perfect outdoor living experience! The Children’s Discovery Garden hosted by the Buffalo & Erie County Botanical Gardens provides an activity center with play areas and educational events every day. Nightly entertainment, live broadcasts, balloon artist and more will round out the event. While at Plantastia, be sure to visit the local Springville area businesses: Lamb & Webster, Inc., Shamel Milling Company, Gernatt Asphalt Products, Springville Door & Window, Inc. Chevalier Outdoor Living and A Growing Business, Inc. Many of these vendors will be set up near one another in the “Springville section” of the merchant area, in the northeast corner of the building, near the Casino entrance. Dave Kessler of Lamb & Webster said they have been attending this show for at least 10 years, attributing the success they have there to the timing of the event. “We attend shows in January, where there is interest but no urgency,” he

explained, noting that by late March, people are really ready to get moving on their spring landscaping. “Our equipment is what (show attendees) need to maintain their landscaping,” Kessler said of the Kabotas and zero-turn mowers that are among the items they will be selling at the show. Lamb & Webster will be occupying booths 47, 48, 59 and 60. Over on the landscaping side, A Growing Business, Inc. (AGB) will be back with their award-winning landscape design. “We been doing Plantasia for 12 years,” said Claire Brown, owner of AGB. “It’s been a great exposure for us. It allows us to connect with people from all over Western New York. We enjoy talking about landscaping and sharing ideas.” AGB’s booth is located in Garden Space L. “We are using materials and design elements that are pulled from other times up through today,” Brown explained of how their booth fits in with this year’s theme. “With everything inside blooming and green, Plantasia

is a great place to remind yourself that spring is really coming,” Brown said. “If you are looking for ideas, or planning on hiring a company to do some work for you, it’s a great place to ‘sample’ landscapers. Because each landscaping company has built a display and is there to speak with, you can get a real sense of their style and how they would be to work with.” Plantasia takes place at The Fairgrounds Event Center and Artisan Hall, 5820 South Park Avenue, Hamburg, NY 14075. Show dates and times are as follows: Thursday, March 23, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday, March 24, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, March 25, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Sunday, March 26, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.plantasiany.com.

starts out as a large, distant matter, but slowly comes closer to home when you begin to understand its components. At Springville-Griffith Institute High School, students are given the opportunity to learn about the business they will work with for the rest of their lives. Starting a business. Borrowing money. Selling products. Advertising. Working with computers. Signing contracts. Using a credit card. The simple things that, in actuality, structure their success. Eric Holler, a high school business teacher alongside Nils Wikman, has taught at Springville for 10 years. He teaches Junior Seminar, a required course for all juniors which covers the entire college application process, and Retail Management, an independent study during which students use the school café as a realworld experience. Additionally, he educates students in Entrepreneurship and Sports Marketing and will be teaching Computer Science and Intro to Business in the upcoming school year. Other available business classes (that he does not teach) include Consumer Finance, Business of Music, Computer Science, Business Law, Accounting, and Intro to Microcomputers. Caroline Dickinson, a senior, is taking accounting this year. “We learn how to run a fictional business based on sales and expenses and everything that involves money,” she said, when asked

what she does in class. “We do money transactions, manage accounts within our fictional business, buy and sell, and learn how the money works within a business.” Dickinson explained that she works at a small business in town and didn’t really think about the business aspects of the job until she started taking the accounting class. “It makes me think a lot about what goes on behind the scenes,” she explained. Although students may not want to go into a career specific to the offered class, Holler explained that these business courses provide many transferrable skills. “You may not want to be an accountant someday, but if you understand the whole process of how it works, you can be more successful working in business,” he clarified. “A lot of the classes that we teach are self-guided, so we’ll set up something, give the students some instruction and then they’re on their own. It has a lot of independence.” “It’s important, whether you’re interested in business or not, to know about how it works, because everyone has to approach a business at some point,” Dickinson said. “I’m going to school for business, so I think this will help me get a head start and build a basis.” Students with questions about SGI’s business electives should ask the teachers in that department or stop into our the Guidance Office.

The 5 Hour Pre-Licensing Class that was canceled on March 19 has been rescheduled for March 30.

Jen’s Quill: Car Knowledge

By Jen Lee

As an independent woman, I take pride in being able to take care of myself in all situations. Alas, I have given up on this self-delusional idea when it comes to vehicles. For years I would enter carfixing places with a confidence that caused people to say, ”Oh, this woman calls body shops ‘car-fixing places.’” I tried to seem knowledgeable and like I was only there because I didn’t want to get dirty…not because I had no clue. After all, I do…in theory…know how to change my oil. My father “taught me,” and I was a star pupil in making it look like I was paying attention. From what I gather, you unscrew a few doohickeys from places that look like oil reservoirs and put a pan of some sort under the car. Hopefully, you place the pan in the right spot and it catches all the oil. A good way to ensure it’s in the correct location is to have someone who knows what they are doing put it there. Then get a cup of coffee and a shower to clean off the perceived oil. When you come back, the oil has been magically changed. If you don’t have the magical elf named “your father” to make this miracle happen, you’ll want to close all latches that were opened. Get gloves to do this, as it will prevent grease from getting on your hands. I’ve

never actually gotten any on mine, but it seems like an impossibility to get off. If you haven’t already, locate the oil dispenser under the hood. This is when you’ll want to find a friend to pour in the new liquid. Spilling too much on engine parts is bad…I think. Engine parts include: the engine and the engine wires. Simply put the dipstick back in and you are done. In between changes, check your oil, which is easy. Turn your car off and pop the hood of your car. Plan to spend precisely an eternity fiddling with the latch that is next to impossible to set free. Find the dipstick—it’s the cap that has a little oil thing on it. If you don’t find it, just shrug and go back about your business of driving because “checking” the oil won’t provide much information anyway. If you do find it, remove the dipstick and wipe it clean with a paper towel. Look around and make sure someone is watching your amazingness. Take special note of the holes and notches etched at the end of the stick. The grooves will be crucial to you not being able to understand what the oil on them means. Replace and remove the dipstick once more. Place that stick on your towel and observe the results. See the oil on the end? That means you have oil. How far up it is or which holes are plugged or what color it is…entirely up to interpretation. My motto is if there is oil, you are good for another zillion miles of driving. Before you place the stick back in it’s resting place, be sure to nod your head in a confident way to portray to anyone still watching, “Yeah, I know my stuff.” Return the dipstick and smile at those observing, knowing they are

thinking, “Wow, she knows her cars.” If the stick came out bone dry, you are in trouble. Not too much, because after all…your car DID drive, didn’t it? If you have some extra oil, add it before driving to a shop. If not, just go to the shop and they’ll fix all the extra problems. The shop is where you can really shine. They will begin to interrogate you about your car’s make, model, cylinders, centrifuge, barometers, and squiggledidoos. Do not fear. Confidence is your number one friend. The conversation should go something like this: Shop Guy: What is the make and model of your car? You: Chevy Malibu LS Shop Guy: What color is it? You: Blue Shop Guy: Is it a 4 or 6 cylinder? You (with unwavering confidence): It’s blue. This type of back and forth exchange will ensure that you get fair treatment because they know you mean business and won’t accept upcharge work on your vehicle when you only need an oil change. Hence why I’ve given up and now just hand them my bank account number when I arrive.

Community Training for Opioid Overdose Recognition And Naloxone Uses

Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and the Springville Regional Services Coalition are coordinating a workshop on opioid overdose recognition and Naloxone use on Wednesday, April 19 at the Springville Middle School at 6:30 p.m. Presented by the Erie County Department of Health, this training gives individuals

the knowledge and tools to recognize signs and symptoms of an opioid overdose, properly administer naloxone and take the necessary follow-up steps. Who can benefit from this training? The answer is, nearly everyone. The information in this workshop can help to save the life of a family member, friend, neighbor or colleague who is experiencing an

overdose caused by an opiate or prescription narcotic. Participants who successfully complete the training will receive a kit containing two doses of naloxone at no charge. This free training is open to anyone 16 years old or older. Register online by April 18 at http://bit. ly/narcan0419 or call (716) 592-2871 ext. 1485.

PhD, RN, a renowned psychotherapist and dementia expert who will discuss improving quality of life for those with cognitive impairment. Afternoon workshops presented by local experts will focus on the unique challenges facing family care partners, including financial and behavioral issues, and offer advice on overcoming them. Professional health care providers will strength or refresh their skills, and earn Continuing Education Credits for specific disciplines. And a special program will also be offered for those with a diagnosis of early stage dementia. “This symposium is an excellent way for professionals and families to not only learn techniques for caregiving, but how to work together as a care team and make sure they are mindful of their own health,” says Julia Szprygada,

the Chapter’s education director who is organizing the conference. ”There is pertinent information for anyone involved in dementia care, regardless of your role or the stage of the disease.” The conference will convene at the Millennium Hotel at 2040 Walden Avenue in Cheektowaga at 8 a.m. Continental breakfast and a full lunch are included, along with pertinent materials and access to local vendors. The day concludes by 4 p.m. A respite service will also be available for caregivers who cannot leave a loved one unattended.

Village Board Continued from front page

April 3, 2017 meeting. The April 3 meeting is the village reorganization meeting. Superintendent of Public Works Ken Kostnowiak reported to the board and asked for several resolutions in regard to preparing the village for its placement of charging stations. First, the village approved a resolution agreeing to the ten elements of Climate Smart Community. Basically, the village agrees to start using energy more efficiently and looks for environmentally conscious ways of receiving energy. Information about Climate Smart can be found online at http://www.dec. ny.gov/energy/50845.html. By doing so, it would allow for the next resolution that Kostnowiak asked for: permission to apply for the matching grant that would allow the village to install electric car charging stations. The charging stations would be at 65 Franklin Street and in Shuttleworth Park. Alan Chamberlain remarked that the stations could be a point of economic stimulus. Someone travelling on Route 219 sees that we have charging stations and would come into the village to charge and then visit our businesses while the vehicle charges. Kostnowiak then reported on the progress of 65 Franklin Street. “We are in striking distance,” was the way he worded it. He noted that the Certificate of Occupancy

is in process and they are completing the Certificate of successful completion for the project. In other business, he asked the village to surplus for online auction an older village dump truck and an authorizing agreement between Buffalo Road Enterprises and the village for property on Cattaraugus Street. It would allow for electricity access on a land locked property. Village Police Officer in Charge Nick Budney asked the village to approve the Rules and Regulations Manual for the village police. The manual guides the operation of the police department. Krebs thanked Budney for his work in compiling the manual. “It was very technical and administrative in its language,” noted Krebs. Budney also commented that the Springville Police Department teamed with STOP DWI this past St. Patrick’s Day weekend. STOP DWI allowed the village to have 17 extra hours of patrols. Even though there were no DWI arrests, there was one arrest for traffic violations and numerous citations given. Mike Kaleta updated the board on the property at 100 South Central. The public hearing for the demolition of the property will be on May 15, 2017. The village then moved to pass the 2017-2018 budget. Krebs noted that the tax amount per one thousand dollars was

incorrect in previous reports. The correct amount per one thousand would be $16.99, not $16.86 as it was reported in other documents. There is no change in expenditures or the tax levy. Also the village set the public hearing for the Traffic and Private Property Law on April 17, 2017. Trustee Moriarty reported that the village received $28,000 Water Quality Grant. The grant was designed to reimburse the village on expenditures for Heritage Park. Lastly, Krebs reported that Village of Springville Electric Division was able to assist the Village of Hamburg’s National Grid and NYSEG customers in restoring their electric during last week’s State of Emergency. The Hamburg Mayor complimented the Village of Springville Electric workers’ diligence and work ethic. Krebs also said that he was asked to write letters to our Federal representatives in relation to the 2017-2018 Trump budget. He noted that we were able to replace many water lines and maintain the walkability of the village in recent years because of HUD and grants distributed through them. Legal counsel Paul Weiss noted he would be at Traffic Law Conference on April 1 in Groveland, NY. The next regular meeting will be held April 3, 2017 at 7 p.m. at 65 Franklin Street, Springville.

Letter to the Editor

To the editor: Thursday, March 30 is National Doctor’s Day. Springville has a long tradition of physicians who have served generations of local families. Despite our location in a rural area in Western New York, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital continues to attract doctors who choose to serve the people of our community. With family practice and internal medicine practitioners in the BCH’s Primary Care Center team and specialists for cardiology, gynecology, gastroenterology and surgery, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital remains a hub for local healthcare. We have recruited physicians and allied health professionals like nurse practitioners and physician assistants to BCH in recent years. Last summer, Dr. Jacqueline Shanahan joined our Primary Care Center. And last October, we added a board-certified general surgeon, Gavin Davison MD, to establish the BCH Surgical Center. This spring, we are welcoming a urology specialist, Michael I. Hanzly, Jr., DO, to practice in our facility. For this national occasion, and on behalf of BCH and JBR, we thank our doctors – past, present and future – who are keeping healthcare local for our community. And for our neighbors who rely on our hospital and our providers for their medical needs, thank you for your support. Sincerely, Gary Eppolito, President, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital Board of Directors Nils Gunnersen, CEO, Bertrand Chaffee Hospital and Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home
