Springville youth among those having fun at WinterCamp By Deb Everts Lack of snow and lots of mud didn’t stop the fun at Camp Turner’s WinterCamp held Dec. 28 through 30. Children from all over the region had the opportunity to experience a threeday, overnight camping excursion in the Quaker area of Allegany State Park. Camp Director John Mann said although the lack of snow prevented the kids from doing a few outdoor activities, including sledding and snowshoeing, there were plenty of other activities to choose from because the staff is welltrained and committed to helping the campers have a great time. Mann said indoor activities include arts and crafts, music appreciation, darts, ping pong, pool and board games. At Spa Club, the kids do each other’s hair and nails and lip-balm making is very popular. Yoga and Zumba fitness is offered, as well as a Lego

Club, a Yule Ball and Mass. Campers can even help out in the kitchen. There are a lot of outdoor sports activities going on including dodgeball, pickleball, “9-Square-in-the-Air,” “Gaga Ball,” volleyball, basketball, court hockey and disc golf. One favorite outdoor
activity is “Games-in-theWoods,” which is a hide and seek-type game played in the woods. Campers can also participate in nature hikes where they track deer, learn outdoor living skills and survival skills, a night hike, fire building and how to make a campsite, along with different team-building
activities. Another outdoor activity called “Elven Village” takes place in the woods by the creek. Using rocks, branches and other forest materials, the kids go into the woods to make little structures and even entire cities for the imaginary elves who take care of the forest.
If there is snow, the kids create snow art building snowmen and snow sculptures. Mann said he would like to thank the naturalists at Allegany State Park for loaning them the snowshoes. According to Mann, the camp’s capacity is 80 kids. This year, 61 attended WinterCamp and this was the first time for about a dozen of the attendees. He said their ages range from 7 to 16 and they come from all over Western New York including Dunkirk, Fredonia, Olean, Bradford, Springville, Tonawanda, Williamsville, Clarence, East Aurora, Orchard Park, Lancaster, Buffalo and other Buffalo areas, as well as nearby Ellicottville, Great Valley and Salamanca. Mann said the camp is not only fun, but they try to make it educational as well. He said WinterCamp is a little more laidback compared to the summer program, but it’s still wellstructured and supervised.
It’s only three days and they try to gear it more toward the younger campers to give them a little taste of summer camp. “We want to help kids discover the presence of God in each other, in the staff and in nature,” he said. ORIGINALLY FROM North Tonawanda, Mann and his wife, Sheryl Soborowski who is also a staff member, live in Great Valley. Mann has been Camp Director for 17 years, but began as a counselor at Camp Turner, in 1983. Jake Overfield of Orchard Park and Marguerite Mosher of Ransomville were both campers growing up and are now on staff. Overfield, a chemistry teacher at a Buffalo area Catholic school, has been attending both summer and winter camp for eight years and now serves as the camp’s program director. “I was a camper here for five years, then I got See WinterCamp page 2

By Ely Schosek Student Reporter On the last day before Christmas break, or any break off of school for that matter,
students abound with joy and excitement, looking forward to their time away from the classroom. Although the excitement isn’t limited to elementary-
age children, their day was filled with many more Christmasrelated activities. Both Colden and Springville elementary schools held See Carnivals page 3

By Rick Miller Whether three feet of snow was on the ground or not, the hundreds of miles of local snowmobile trails
couldn’t open until Dec. 18, the day after Big Game Muzzleloading Season ends. With a recent stretch of warmer, rainy weather, it doesn’t look like the
trails will be opening again any time soon. However, volunteers from the several area snowmobile clubs tried to get as much of the See Snowmobilers page 7
A Look Back: The Springville Area Fire Companies By Jolene Hawkins
In this
first of a twopart article, we are going to be looking back on the history of the fire companies here in Springville and how they evolved. In September of 1842, the Hook and Ladder Company was organized with a membership of 10. Equipment consisted of leather buckets and hook and ladder wagon.
It is said that some wagons were pulled by horses and some by men. When a fire occurred, a brigade was formed to pass the buckets of water from one man to the next with the water coming from the nearest pond, stream or water source to the fire. Most of the buildings at this time were of wooden construction and these bucket brigades had several disastrous fires. One of these fires happened on Sunday, June 7, 1868. When “Fire! Fire!” was heard, people were
in churches and there was a rush to run out of the doors to see where the location of the fire was and to see what they could do to assist. This fire had started in a clothing store and was spreading rapidly. At that time most of the stores shared a common wooden wall, thus nothing to stop the flames from spreading. T.J. Morris was severely burned while trying to save the town’s clerk documents, but it was in vain. At this fire, everything from the Concord Land Reality to the brook burned down. Losses amounted to $28,350. The buildings that housed the Brown’s
Shoe Store and the Union Block were built afterward out of brick. The others were rebuilt of wood. In August 1873, the equipment of the Hook and Ladder was put to use again when there was a fire on the cheese factory roof. The third floor was damaged, but after three hours of long, hot work, the firemen were able to save the building. In 1875, there was yet another major fire, of six buildings on Main Street, with the loss being at $20,000. The Hook and Ladder Company, with the consent of the village, incorporated on May 18, 1878. In 1879, the three-
story opera house at 9-11 East Main St. was on fire, and all the buildings from there to Buffalo Street were burned. Shortly after that fire, a group of businessmen met and suggested that there should be an increased number of firemen for more adequate protection. Thus, the Independent
Engine Company was organized with 15 men. On Feb. 1, 1882, the Fountain Hose Company was formed and in 1935 became the Springville Fire Department. In May of 1882, a Hand Pumper Fire Engine was purchased for $650 from Seneca Falls. The engine had 400 feet of hose, See A Look Back page 4

involved because I loved the place, the atmosphere and the nature aspect,” he said. Mosher, who is in her first year of college as a psychology major, teaches outdoor skills at the camp. She said she was a camper from ages 10 to 16 and Overfield was her counselor for years. When she met all the requirements, he gave her a woodsman test at Fox Fire where she learned her outdoor skills. When she passed, he presented her with the Cap Stone award. “It was all survival skills. I had to build a lean-to and sleep in it all night. I had to keep a fire going, so I could light it and relight it with no matches in the morning,”
she said. “When Jake got this job as program director, I started running Fox Fire Village in the woods teaching outdoor skills. Now, it’s me who usually runs those tests and gives out some of those awards.” Overfield said they had 15 camp counselors at WinterCamp this year. He said many return each year, but some have come back after being off for several years. Mosher said a lot of the older staff can’t come back for a full week during the summer, but they can often take a couple of days off of work during the holidays. People may wonder what keeps Mann coming back

He said some of his staff are at camp for a whole summer or several summers, and that makes a big impact on their lives.

Best thing about a tough Christmas Count was the breakfast burger and fries
By Jeffrey Reed
What was my favorite sighting of the day during the 70th annual St. Bonaventure Audubon Christmas Count that was held on Dec. 15? That’s easy, it was the waitress placing the gigantic breakfast burger and french fries down in front of me when we gathered for the post-count tally. A full 1,300 calories of all the things we’re not supposed to eat couldn’t have looked or tasted any better to me after being outside all day in the wind and snow. And the truth is, I like being outside on days like that. The way I see it if we’re going to have winter, then let’s have wind, snow, temperatures in the 20s and cold fingers. It may not be the best conditions for seeing birds — and it wasn’t — but that’s the way it goes. Generally, the St. Bonaventure Audubon Christmas Count is a group of approximately 10 people counting birds in a circle that is centered on St. Bonaventure University. As a group, we set a somewhat arbitrary goal of 50 species, which is easy to hit in May but very difficult in December. Personally, I set a goal for myself of 20 different species on the day — and even that can be challenging. Curiously, the day started really well for me. I got to Olean Point around sunrise and quickly
checked off common goldeneye, bufflehead, common merganser, hooded merganser, mallard and American black duck. There were also a few Canada geese, a few European starlings and a sharp-shinned hawk so I had nine species before I even got started. I then left the river for more wooded areas to locate the songbirds that I thought would get me to 15 species fairly quickly, including blue jay, cardinal, mourning dove, junco, chickadee and house sparrow, but I was wrong about getting them quickly. As I walked the Allegheny River Valley Trail, Gargoyle Road and the dikes along the Allegheny River, trying to find any sign of a bird, it got to the point where I had to remind myself that there are Christmas Counts in Alaska, where the only bird seen all day is a raven. It wasn’t quite that bad here but it was 3:30 p.m. before I added cardinal and pushing 4 p.m. before I added mourning dove and, for the first time ever, I failed to see a chickadee or a house sparrow. The day wasn’t without its moments as I did see a single ring-billed gull that I almost missed because it blended in so well with the falling snow and gray skies. Conversely, a passing raven couldn’t be missed as it flew overhead, surveying all that was his, the way ravens do. A particularly memorable moment came when I was
also counts in one of the areas north of the city of Olean. January 2020 marks the start of the third Breeding Bird Atlas project and Mike was telling me how it came together. As one of the largest citizen science projects of its kind, the Breeding Bird Atlas project gives everyone the opportunity to contribute important data to help map the distribution of breeding birds in New York state. But unlike the last Breeding Bird Atlas project 20 years ago, this one is going to have a much larger internet reporting component with all the data being reported to ebird.org. Basically, the state is divided into 5,710 blocks and anyone who wants to can sign up for one or more of the blocks and record bird sightings over a five-
year period. Depending on the type of bird activity seen or heard, a likelihood of breeding is established. For example, if a cardinal is heard singing in your yard on one occasion, it can be recorded as a possible breeder, but if it’s heard many times over several weeks, it can be recorded as a probable breeder and if it’s seen feeding young, it’s recorded as a confirmed breeder. One thing that is different for this Atlas is that “priority” blocks have been established, and even though I haven’t taken a super-close look at the block map, it looks as though most of the places that I typically bird are not in any of the priority blocks. But Mike said that they’re looking for data from any and all blocks, not just the priority blocks. So, beginning Jan. 1, birders all across the state will begin signing up for blocks. Admittedly, most birds aren’t breeding in January, but some of the owls will be, so if you want to see the block map you can go to https://lab.nynhp. org/bba/ and zoom in, but if you just want to know more about the Atlas you can go to https://ebird.org/atlasny/ about. For the record, I finished the breakfast burger and french fries — but I passed on dessert. Images of some of the birds mentioned here can be seen at: https:// www.flickr.com/photos/ meadowsteward/.
is intended to keep the students engaged throughout the duration of the day. Cora Miller is a fourthgrade student at SES who explained in detail some of the games and activities. In the gym, the students played a game in a large inflatable pit — they jumped around while only hitting the ball with their hands. If it hit below their knees, they were out and went and played volleyball. Students also participated in stations involving painting, holiday card decorating, coloring and holiday games on the computers. In art, the fourth graders were given a small wooden block that
they could paint as a snowman, a penguin, a Santa or a reindeer. Cora noted that her favorite part of the day was the face painting but she also enjoyed the tubing and “snow paint.” She also mentioned that there was someone dressed up as the Grinch walking around with Mr. Scarpine’s dog who acted as the Grinch’s dog, Max. After nearly four months of the school year complete, the CES and SES Holiday Carnivals are a great way to get both students and staff into the holiday mood before they head off for break.

walking in the woods below the dikes and flushed a flock of at least 25 mourning doves. The whistling sound that their wings make when they take flight filled the air even as the wind and snow seemed to get stronger. Bald eagle is generally seen by at least one of the people counting and I was on the lookout when a large bird with a white tail flew away from me into the falling snow. I was fairly confident it was a bald eagle, and then clinched the identification a short time later when I saw the bird perched. Even though the bird had a white tail, its breast was almost completely white indicating it was not yet an adult. By the time I had counted my 20th bird species on the day I was beat from having walked through the snow all day, but the hardest part
came somewhat later when I had to decide whether to get the french fries with the breakfast burger or go with the healthier option of the cup of soup! It was also at that time that the other counters began coming in and to a person they agreed that this was the most challenging Christmas Count anyone could remember. Songbirds seemed to have cleared out this winter and so far very few birds have arrived from the north, although there was one report of an American tree sparrow. When all was said and done, we’d managed only 34 species on the day. In between bites of the breakfast burger and french fries I spoke with Mike DeSha who is the outgoing president of the New York State Ornithological Association (NYSOA) and
CARNIVALS Continued from front page
Holiday Carnivals last Friday. Springville Elementary Principal Chris Scarpine noted that the day was filled with “fun activities” for all the grades including “snow tubing, games in the gym, arts and crafts, face painting, card making, visits with Santa and caroling.” All of the students participate in the same games and activities with only slight variations for different ages. “Our Holiday Carnival has gone on for as far back as anyone working here can remember,” Scarpine said. “Each year we make little changes to the activities in hopes of making it better each year.” What was special about this year’s carnival is that we finally had enough snow on the ground for students to be able to go snow tubing. For the past few years, we have not had enough snow on the day of the carnival. SES partners with the Parent-Teacher
Association (PTA) to put on the event. “Each year the PTA takes the lead and then I help with the scheduling but this year the PTA and our special area teachers did the bulk of the planning,” Scarpine added. One of the main factors of planning is the logistics of it all along with keeping track of materials for the activities. “We like to think of ourselves as one big family here at SES, and this is one day where we can all get together and have fun while celebrating all that we are grateful for,” Scarpine noted. Colden Elementary School held a similar event on the same day for its students. Mrs. Laurie Brown, a teacher at CES, who was also involved in planning called it a “multitude of festive and fun activities for the whole school.” In the same manner as SES, they had modified activities from one grade to the next, Brown noted.
“Our activities are based on grade level so the kids developmentally can partake plus we make sure the activities are engaging for all ages,” she said. There is one set of activities for kindergarten through second grade and another for grades 3 to 5. When asked if the carnival has taken place before, Brown noted that it has in fact taken place every year for at least 23 years, likely more. The activities are modified each year to fit the interests of the students. Different from SES, Colden has a committee of eight teachers that planned the event. “Planning involves a lot of research using Pinterest and googling ideas,” Brown noted. “We also have to order and/or create the items we needed for each of the activities.” In regard to the management of the day, the committee also had to come up with a schedule and request parent volunteers.
When asked why it was a good opportunity for the students, Brown said it allows all of the students to be “actively engaged in all the activities” and lets them “feel a sense of community and teamwork.” She also added, “In the end, they just have fun, and what’s better for the kids than that?” CES Principal Brooke Adams answered the same question by stating, “I believe this is a great way to celebrate the hard work students put in before break.” Adams also mentioned all the hard work teachers put into it to make it a great day for the kids.

had been built of wood. Spring Brook went under one of them and the pond came right up to the rear of several of them. On Feb. 28, 1894, a fire was discovered in the Hein Building at 57 East Main St. The name is still on the front of the building if you look closely. The fire had a good start and spread rapidly in both directions. Because of the pond, it could only be fought on one side, and again the wooden buildings were destroyed. In 1921, a new motorized equipment truck was purchased for $12,000. You can

MOVIE REVIEW
Lucasfilm / Disney From left, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac and John Boyega appear in a scene from “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”
‘Star Wars’ saga comes to a mixed-bag conclusion By Kellen M. Quigley
How did we get here? The final film in the main Star Wars series has hit theaters 42 years after that initial groundbreaking movie. What should have been a momentous cinematic moment instead ended with a resounding, “Meh.” Because in the era of Disney’s Star Wars, the fandom hasn’t become stronger and closer but more divided and hostile. There are a few reasons why, but I think it boils down to Disney making these movies by following box office numbers, not one single vision like George Lucas had in the first six films. Both the seventh film, “The Force Awakens,” and the eighth film, “The Last Jedi,” are great movies, but they’re great examples of two filmmakers, J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson, respectively, doing their own things that did not gel. So Abrams being brought back to wrap up a trilogy going into two different directions was going to be an impossible task, especially when he’s also wrapping up a ninefilm series. So what does he do? Simultaneously plays it far too safe while also making a couple of Hail Mary plays that seem to come out of nowhere. And what we’re left with is a film that just feels like Disney reacting to money, because it’s obvious there was not a plan in place. Set about a year after the events of the previous film, Kylo Ren (played by Adam Driver), leader of the evil First Order, discovers Sith lord Emperor Palpatine has returned with a plan to turn the Force-sensitive Resistance fighter Rey (Daisy Ridley) to the dark side and end the Rebellion once and for all. Working on their own plan to defeat the First Order, the Resistance is forming the last stand when Rey, Fin (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac) learn of a way to find Kylo and stop him and the Resistance through the help of old friends and new, guidance from ghosts of their pasts and the promise for a new future. Before I get into the biggest problems with
this movie, there are several things that I really like. Once again I think all the actors do a great job. Even if they don’t have the best script to work with, they are doing their best with what they were given. From the younger main four characters to all the smaller side characters to the classic favorites like Carrie Fisher as Leia and Mark Hamill as Luke, you have to like these characters. I also think a lot of the filmmaking was well done. Abrams is a loose cannon when it comes to his stories and the execution of his vision — or lack thereof — but he is a solid filmmaker who knows how to direct action, comedy, suspense, family drama and all the other genres that creep their way into this story. Nothing is superbly amazing, but no element is necessarily bad either. And I liked some of the elements that reminded me of the original films and even some of the good parts of the prequel trilogy, specifically the cheesy 1930s-sounding dialogue and humor. The first line of the opening scrawl is “The dead speak!” and if that doesn’t set the tone for this film as a B-movie from 1936, I don’t know what will. It’s a movie about space wizards for children after all. Unfortunately, a lot of that stuff is connected to one of the biggest elements I didn’t like: the over-reliance on nostalgia to fill in the emotional gaps. There is so much manipulation of the audiences’ heartstrings by lazy choices of bringing back some characters or seemingly killing off others that it’s almost like a Broadway revue or greatest hits concert with nothing new. On the one hand, yes, for the final chapter of a nine-part movie series, we do want some stuff from the previous films to come back, but by playing it so safe for so much and not taking any bold, new choices like the previous two movies in this trilogy, it weakens the whole thing. So by the end, I left the theater entertained, but disappointed. This is in no way a bad movie, but it’s not even close to what the final Star Wars movie should have been.

State Parks and DEC offer early BCH hosts “Freedom from bird savings for 2020 season The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (State Parks) and the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) last week announced its early-bird savings for online renewals of the 2020 Empire Pass. Customers who keep their existing card, and renew online before Jan. 1, 2020, will save $15 off a single or multi-season pass. Those users who renew online from Jan. 1 and March 31 will save $10, and any online card renewals after those dates will receive a $5 discount from the standard price. By keeping their card and renewing online, customers enjoy greater convenience and easier access to state parks for the 2020 season. The Empire Pass program provides unlimited day-use vehicle entry to state parks, boat
launch sites, arboretums, park preserves and DEC forest preserves. By renewing online, Empire Pass-holders will keep their existing card and not have to wait for the pass to be mailed to them nor face waiting in line at the park to pick up a new pass during peak season. “State Parks offer a rewarding experience that further connects visitors with the outdoors,” said State Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid. “By continuing to offer affordable and convenient options to take advantage of the Empire Pass, we are encouraging more people to enjoy the parks next season and explore New York State.” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said, “The Empire State is home to some of the most spectacular State Parks, historic sites, and public lands anywhere in the
world. The Empire Pass is the key to unlocking the breathtaking beauty and exciting experiences awaiting visitors to New York’s outdoors and there’s never been a better time to buy one. Save time and money this holiday season with the perfect gift idea for the outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers on your list.” Existing pass-holders can renew for the 2020 season (online only) at shop.parks.ny.gov/ renew/. The special renewal savings applies to the single-season pass, as well as the multiseason passes. On the Empire Pass page, passholders can simply find “Renew My Pass,” enter their existing Empire Pass card number located at the bottom left of the card and their email address and then follow instructions for renewals and payment. Cards
become activated 24-48 hours after purchase. New customers can purchase Empire Passes for $80 online at parks. ny.gov, or by phone (518) 474-0458. Three-season and fiveseason Empire Passes are available to new customers for $205 and $320, respectively. The Lifetime Empire Passport can be purchased for just $750. With no expiration date, people who love the outdoors can use the lifetime pass to enjoy the parks forever. State Parks also encourages New York’s seniors age 62 and older to take advantage of the Golden Park Program, which provides them free entry into state parks on weekdays (Monday through Friday, excluding holidays) by simply showing their driver’s license or state-issued non-driver I.D.
Smoking” program Jan. 13
Bertrand Chaffee Hospital will host the American Lung Association’s (ALA) “Freedom from Smoking” program beginning on Jan. 13. ALA-certified instructors will present this eightsession program on Monday evenings from 6-7:30 p.m. This program is designed for adult smokers and features step-by-step plans to help smokers gain control over their behavior. Cigarette smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals and can lead to lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Smoking
is a behavior that negatively affects nearly every organ in the human body. It is also a cause of heart disease and stroke. The program costs $80 and includes a workbook and quit smoking guided meditation CD. To register, please call (716) 592-9643. The deadline for registration is Jan. 8. In addition to the January date, the program will also be offered in May and October of 2020. Bertrand Chaffee Hospital’s ongoing community and patient education services include smoking cessation programs and diabetic courses and support groups.

signage in place on the trails using fourwheelers before New York’s Big Game Season opened Oct. 1. With Allegany State Park’s nearly 100 miles of groomed snowmobile trails, Cattaraugus County offers more than 450 miles of trails. Just add snow. And grooming. They will come. Cathy Hill, president of the Cattaraugus County Federation of Snowmobile clubs, was the longtime snowmobile trails coordinator for the county. It was a lot of paperwork, especially getting landowner permission each year. Hill has been a member of the Snow Bounders for 25 years. The club was formed in 1969. A lot of things have changed since then. The changes have become even more pronounced in the past 10 years. The biggest changes have been older volunteers opting to spend less time on trail maintenance, Hill said. It’s not just putting up signs. It’s building and maintaining bridges and trails while keeping up good landowner relations. Her children and grandchildren pitch in to help maintain trails on the Hill property, she said. The Snow Bounders have about 300 landowners who permit usage of their property for trails. Last year, the Rushford Snowmobile Club with 15-16 miles of trails in Cattaraugus County, was added to the list of snowmobile clubs. The number of members are fairly constant because there is a huge discount on registration with club membership. That money comes back to the club in the form of grants for trail maintenance or the purchase of grooming equipment. “The volunteer base is thinning
out,” admits Hill. It hasn’t dampened enthusiasm for the sport. There are more sleds than ever on the snowmobile trails that criss-cross the county and businesses located along the route love it. The trails were developed over 30 years ago and many of the volunteers are in the late 50s and early 60s and looking to step away from more active jobs, Hill explained. The younger generation isn’t stepping up as much as some had hoped. “You have to take care of the trails,” Hill said. Many will have to wait until Dec. 18. “I don’t like to sign at 30 degrees,” she said as her reason for starting early on her sections of trail. “I try to get everybody to do it.” Recent snowmobile seasons have been disappointingly short-lived. The snow would melt almost before it could be groomed. It was an on-again, offagain season last year too. In the early days, trails were more confined to communities. Now, they connect communities and counties. Not everyone is invested in the trail system. “You can’t keep up with maintenance, but they are great for businesses. They love the winter months. They count on snowmobilers.” Local snowmobile clubs include: • Ashford Snowmobile Club • Elibomwons Snowmobile Club • Enchanted Mountains Border Riders Club • Franklinville Snowmobile Club • The Snow Bounders • Southern Tier Snow Drifters • Tri-County Drifthoppers • Western New York Snowmobile Club of Boston.

ELLICOTTVILLE — Slavko S. “Scotty” Lavtar, 91, of Ellicottville, passed away Saturday (Dec. 28, 2019) at his home. He was born on Aug. 27, 1928, in Javornik, Slovenia, son of the late Robert and Ivana Rant Lavtar. Mr. Lavtar emigrated to America in 1953 and married his wife, the former Barbara Schroeder, on Feb. 23, 1963, who survives. Slavko “Scotty” was employed at HoliMont, in Ellicottville, as a general manager, and previously worked at Bethlehem Steel, in Buffalo, for 13 years. He was very active within the local ski community, having started at Glenwood Acres, and the original Poverty Hill Ski Club, before HoliMont. He taught ski lessons, and was the first ski instructor, at HoliMont. Mr. Lavtar was truly a graceful skier, mastering ski jumping, and was a member of the Professional Ski Instructors of America. A man of many talents, he was also a member of the Springville Jazz Orchestra; golfed at Concord Crest Golf Course in Springville; and enjoyed the Springville auction, as he was a master
tinkerer, having even built their family home, in Ellicottville. He also enjoyed making wine and vegetable gardening, and he volunteered as a summer soccer coach. Besides his loving wife of 56 years, Mr. Lavtar is survived by two sons, Karl (Maeve) Lavtar of Chugiak, Alaska and Kevin (Cheryl) Lavtar of Hamburg; three daughters, Eve (Robert) Herr of Eden, Heather Kneis of Colorado Springs, Colo. and Heidi Quimby of Corcoran, Minn.; three brothers, Marjan (late Fanika) Lavtar, Zdravko (late Urska) Lavtar and Srecko (Lojzka) Lavtar, all of Slovenia; and six grandchildren, Jesse, Chellse, Mark, Kieran, John and Paige; a greatgrandchild, Penelope; as well as several nieces and nephews. A celebration of life will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Lung Cancer Research Foundation. Arrangements are under the direction of Mentley Funeral Home Inc., 411 Rock City St. in Little Valley.
