The Ferrin Harness Shops BY JOLENE HAWKINS

Looking back to the days when you could hear the jingling of harnesses and the clopping of the team of horses, and the creak of the carriage or wagon behind them, as they drove down Main Street. Like cars, the street would have many wagons, as well as horses … so, what happened when the horse needed new shoes or the reins came loose from the bit, or a wheel needed to be replaced or the wagon repaired? You would take it to your local blacksmith shop for repair. We had a shop in town that was still in operation in 1957, and that was Fred Ferrin Harness Shop. A blacksmith/harness shop was to horses and buggy what a garage is today to the automobile. In 1871, Clark Ferrin (Fred’s father) went into partnership with A.W. Blackmor. Clark eventually purchased full ownership of the

in the future. In 1740, the English clergyman John Wesley, founder of Methodism, created the Covenant Renewal Service, most commonly held on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day. Also known as watch night services, they included readings from Scriptures and hymn singing and served as a spiritual alternative to the raucous celebrations usually held to celebrate the coming of the new year. For millions of Americans, the new year is celebrated by watching the ball drop at Times Square in New York City. The first rooftop celebration atop One Times Square took place in 1904 and was produced by The New York Times to inaugurate their new headquarters in Times Square and celebrate the

shop, but had a rather turbulent history to his shop as in the fact that it seems to have bad luck follow it. At three separate times the harness shop caught fire. The first time in 1879 was when the Opera House, along with half a block on one side of the street, was burned. Back then, most businesses shared a common wall, which made the fire spread from one to another store fast, making it hard to put out. An amusing anecdote of the conflagration occurred as Fred, who was only two years old at the time, was tossed prayerfully on a pillow from the upstairs window where they lived of the building where the harness shop was to the ground below for his safety. Most of the contents of the harness shop and residence were saved. Clark Ferrin was able to collect $500 for the building and $200 for the stock that was a loss from the insurance company, Aetna.

LOOKING FORWARD accomplished some projects that I think will have a big impact on the quality of life for village residents,” said Mayor William Krebs in a conversation with the Times. There were no major crises in 2018, the mayor said, and any problems that did arise concerning village services were addressed in a timely matter. During the year, the continued revitalization of the historic downtown district has been evident in many ways, including the new and renovated storefronts and businesses, Krebs said. “There’s more thriving small businesses with young owners who are re-investing in our village, which is important,” he said. Krebs also noted the opening of the new Emerling dealership on South Cascade Drive as a major re-investment into the village. On the event side, the Fiddle Fest was one of the biggest in the event’s history, the mayor said, which shows the community’s dedication to Springville. “Our role in building the thriving community is to make sure the infrastructure is sound,” he said. “We hope that if we do it

right, it’ll attract not only residents but commercial endeavors, and I think we have.” The village government saw two new trustees elected to the board, Kim Pazzuti and Elise Rose. Three new officials were also appointed, Krebs said, with Marc Gentner and Jamie Raynor becoming part of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Terry Skelton to the Planning Board. In 2018, the village began a major infrastructure project to assist in preventing stormwater runoff from infiltrating the water treatment plant. “That was expensive, and mandated, but it also is the right thing to do because it preserves the quality of water,” Krebs said. Also in 2018, a greater focus on the arts was initiated, beginning with a project to install more art displays around the village. Earlier in December, the village board accepted a grant to fund an art installation project in 2019. “There’s going to be a wind sculpture built in Heritage Park,” Krebs said. “It is funded in part by the Arts Service Initiative (of Western New York). … It should reflect the artistic heritage of the

area.” The wind sculpture would be the first project done under the new policy for future art applications established by the village board in 2018. “This coming year, and down the line, we will have a policy that will help the board of trustees and historic preservation board process the applications,” the mayor explained. In addition to the inner workings of the village and supporting cultural programs, Krebs said the village is continually working on addressing distressed properties. Around the village, and ongoing sidewalk replacement project begun a couple years ago will continue, the mayor said. Under the surface, upgrade the sewer system will continue to be in progress. “Most projects in a municipality are multi-year projects,” he said. “There are project going on all the time.” One thing village residents may notice is the beautification of the historic village center with flowers on East Main, Franklin and Mechanic streets, Krebs said,

with the plan to keep that going in 2019. “We’ve taken a big step forward to make sure our village center looks attractive in the summer months,” he added. In keeping with beautification, the village’s process for garbage pickup and recycling is expected to change in the new year. A growing working relationship with the public safety sector is another important goal for 2019, Krebs explained, which means continuing to work with the Erie County Sheriff’s Office in the village, with the Springville Police Department, the volunteer fire department and the control center. “We’re going to keep the lines of communications open so we know that all these agencies service our residents in the best possible way,” he said. It’s difficult to predict way may need attention in the new year, but the mayor said the village will try to be on top of any issues that come up and will need attention by having a solid asset management. “I think every year there’s something,” he said. “We don’t have as many (water line breaks)

as we used to because we’ve proactively replaced water lines. It’s continued maintenance.” Krebs said the village looks forward to working with the Chamber of Commerce to create and economic development strategy for Springville and the surrounding area. “We just need to sit down with some of the business leaders and get it in writing,” he said. “Once we have that, I think it will help us build a closer relationship with the business community in Buffalo.” Always busy and always hoping to improve the village, Krebs said he’s looking forward to the new year after a productive 2018. He said the projects sometimes overlap and run together while new opportunities continue to present themselves. “Springville continues to be a great place to live and work, and the village government does everything we can to assist that and provide that,” he said. “We’re well aware that it’s not just the village government that contributes to that. It’s the commercial businesses and the non-profits that makes Springville a great place to live.”

Kids experience nature at Camp Turner’s WinterCamp

Two campers take on some boondoggling at the Snowy Day Club.

A group of campers plays “9-Square-in-the-Air.” The three-day camp began Dec. 28 and concluded Dec. 30.

By Deb Everts Lack of snow and lots of mud didn’t stop the fun at “WinterCamp 2018” where children had the opportunity to experience a three-day, overnight camping excursion at Camp Turner. Held in the Quaker area of Allegany State Park, this year’s camping event ran Dec. 28–30. Camp Director John Mann said although the lack of snow prevented the kids from sledding and snowshoeing, they run a summer camp as well, so they have plenty of games and activities to do when it isn’t snowing. He said the staff is welltrained and committed to helping campers have a great time. Mann said there are nature hikes where the kids track deer and they learn outdoor living skills including outdoor survival skills, fire building and how to make a campsite. Games-in-the-Woods is a “hide and seek” type game played in the woods. “We also have a lot of sports activities going on,” he said. “When the kids go outside, they play dodgeball, pickleball, ‘9-Square-in-the-Air,’ volleyball, basketball and court hockey.” Program Director Jake Overfield said they adapt according to the weather.

He said one year, they started on a Friday with mild temperatures and mud — just like this past weekend — and they woke up Saturday to about four feet of snow on the ground. Mann said the camp is not only fun, but they try to make it educational as well. He said WinterCamp is a little bit more laid back 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. According to Overfield, the camp capacity is 80 kids and, this year, 69 came for WinterCamp. He said the kids, ranging from ages 7 to 14, come from all over Western New York including Dunkirk, Olean, Bradford, Springville, Tonawanda, Orchard Park, Lancaster and other Buffalo areas as well as nearby Ellicottville, Great Valley and Salamanca. 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 16 years, since 2003, after several summers as a

camp counselor between 1983 and 1992. Mann said the camp has excellent staff retention — around 75-percent from year-to-year. He said it’s 100-percent at each WinterCamp, so they take no new staff for the winter session. “It’s only people who have been here with me for one or more summers,” he said. “They’ve been through all of our staff training including first aid courses with CPR, behavioral management, safe environment training and risk management, so everybody here knows what they are doing.” Overfield, who resides in Orchard Park, said this past summer and this winter camp is his seventh year. “I was a camper here for five years, then I got involved because I loved the place, the atmosphere and the nature aspect,” he said. This summer marked 19 years at Camp Turner for Kathy Weiss, dining room manager, who said she started working at the camp in 1978 as a counselor and also did the nature woods program. Mann said it’s a real pleasure to have Weiss onboard. He said she’s a certified archery instructor and she knows quite a bit about nature. “She either runs our

nature program or trains other staff to do it. Through her, they know all about plant and tree identification, as well as animal tracking,” he said. Camp Counselor Catie Dwyer comes from Washingtonville, which is about an hour north of New York City. She said her uncles and mother who grew up in Buffalo influenced her to come to Camp Turner. Her uncles worked there and her mother attended Camp Maryglen in East Eden, which was a girl’s resident camp similar to Camp Turner. She said this was before the two combined and Camp Turner became a resident camp for both boys and girls. Dwyer said she started at Camp Turner as a camper when she was six years old and, now, she’s 17. She’s been a counselor for two summers and this is her second winter as a counselor. “As a camper, I loved all the games and it was so much fun,” she said. “I just love it here and I can’t imagine not coming here. I love the kids. I like the environment and how friendly everyone is. I always want to come back.” Beginning with Camp Turner’s SummerCamp, the Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministry

of the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo has operated the not-for-profit camp since 1923. WinterCamp started about 2004 and is open to all children regardless of religious affiliation, race or gender.

Annual Christmas bird count seemed slow in 2018

By Jeffrey Reed

Have you seen any evening grosbeaks yet? If the answer is no, you’re not alone, but don’t give up hope because readers have been reporting them at their feeders and as we get deeper into the winter, we may see more of these birds irrupting from their nesting grounds in Canada. Rob Mrowka had evening grosbeaks at his feeder as early as Nov. 22 and has had them at least twice since then while Mike Ermer from Allegany County saw evening grosbeaks eating gravel along the side of the road near the Eshelman Tract of the Pfeiffer Nature Center and there was also a report of a single female evening grosbeak at the Van Scoy’s feeder in Limestone. Gravel is an essential part of a seed eating bird's digestive process so it's not unusual to see birds along the side of the road at this time of the year eating gravel and from what I can gather, the grosbeaks at feeders have been eating black oil sunflower seeds so if that’s what you’re using, keep an eye out. For my part, I had hoped to see evening grosbeaks or common redpolls on my patch during the Audubon Christmas Count that was held Dec. 16, but I came up empty even though I was outdoors for six of the eight hours that I was counting. And even though I ended the day with 23 species of birds which exceeded my goal of 20, I agreed with the other counters when we got together for dinner that this was the slowest year in recent memory with some people getting fewer than 10 species. It’s important to note that there’s more publicly accessible land on my patch than the others,

which means I can spend most of my day walking while other people have to spend their day driving and birding from the roadside and since I have both the Olean Creek and the Allegheny River in my area I can usually hit my mark of twenty species as long as there’s no ice on the river. Before getting to the birds that I saw or heard, it’s worth noting the birds I did not see (almost). The week before the count I saw over 200 Canada geese on the Olean Creek but the day of the count I couldn’t find a single one until the last hour of the count when, in desperation, I checked the Olean Creek behind the Olean Times Herald building and found on the dike a single goose, which I probably would have missed if it hadn’t been honking. Also missing were house sparrows, which are the squeaky little urban birds that can generally be found almost anywhere in the city without too much effort, but this year I didn’t see a single one. Tim Baird, who covers the village of Allegany in his section reported that he didn’t have any European starlings, which are generally as common as house sparrows, if not more so. What struck me as I walked through the fields and woodlots near the dikes was the absence of any fruit on the honeysuckle, autumn olive and multiflora rose bushes that seem to be growing everywhere. No fruit means no food and that means no birds. Mike Ermer noticed the same thing with thornapple trees, which seemed to produce much less fruit this year than in past years, so it might be that there are just fewer overwintering birds this year. In fact, were it not for

a single bird feeder near Gargoyle Park, where I picked up red-bellied woodpecker, American goldfinch, white-throated sparrow and dark-eyed junco, I’m not sure I would have been able to make my goal. But with no ice on the Allegheny River or the Olean Creek, I added mallard, bufflehead, common goldeneye, common merganser, hooded merganser, piedbilled grebe and belted kingfisher. I usually get bald eagle along the river but I didn’t see one this year, even though other counters did. My most exciting bird of the day came as I was driving on North Barry Street on my way to meet the rest of the counters for dinner when I noticed a bird at the top of a tree along the dikes. Between the overcast skies and the coming darkness, I had to walk right up to the tree before realizing that it was a merlin. This is the second time that I’ve had merlin on the Christmas Count and both birds were in the same general area, which is close to where a pair successfully nested in 2010. Although I have no proof, it may be that the merlins are part of the reason we’re seeing fewer house sparrows and European starlings since merlins are formidable predators, using incredible bursts of speed to overtake anything with wings the size of a pigeon or smaller. The merlin was also in the same general area where I had seen an immature red-shouldered hawk earlier in the day, and even though both birds target different types of prey, merlins are regarded as particularly badtempered towards other hawks so the drama would

have been worth the price of admission if hostilities had broken out. When all was said and done, the 12 people counting in the 69th St. Bonaventure Audubon

Christmas Count tallied 38 species of birds, which is well below our typical 45 to 50 species. Still, it was nice to be outdoors and it’s fun to hear what other people were seeing in their

sections. Images of some of the birds mentioned here can be seen at: https://www.flickr.com/ photos/meadowsteward

DEC seeks comment on Cattaraugus Creek fisheries plan

New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has released the draft of a management plan for Upper Cattaraugus Creek fisheries for public comment. The draft plan provides a roadmap for fisheries management following the planned fish passage project at the Springville Dam. DEC is accepting public comments on the draft plan until Jan. 25. “Cattaraugus Creek provides some of the most diverse trout fishing experiences in New York state,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “Lower Cattaraugus Creek is regarded as one of the premier destinations in North America for steelhead anglers, and upper Cattaraugus Creek provides excellent angling opportunities for resident rainbow and brown trout. This plan seeks to enhance Cattaraugus Creek as a premier destination in Western New York for a year-round, high-quality sport fishery.” The main stem of the lower reach of the Cattaraugus extends from the mouth at Lake Erie upstream 34 miles to Springville Dam. The upper reach extends another 34 miles to its

source, and along with its numerous tributaries offers fishing for resident trout, abundant angler access and high-quality spawning and nursery habitat. A long-planned fish passage project at Springville Dam will allow steelhead access to many miles of additional high-quality habitat and provide new fishing opportunities, the DEC says. This passage project may also be accompanied by some changes to the existing upstream fisheries. The Cattaraugus Creek watershed includes portions of five Western New York counties and the Seneca Nation of Indians territory. The entire watershed encompasses about 357,640 acres (more than 550 square miles) of western New York and includes many of the best stocked and wild trout streams in the region. The main stem of Cattaraugus Creek flows west from its headwaters at Java Lake in Wyoming County for 65 miles, emptying into Lake Erie at Irving. In the lowest reaches of Cattaraugus Creek near Lake Erie, warm water species including walleye, smallmouth bass, channel catfish and sucker species

use this tributary as spawning and nursery habitat. At 34 miles above the creek’s mouth, Springville Dam is the first barrier impassable to migratory fish from Lake Erie. The dam has not generated electricity since 1998 and is currently maintained by Erie County as a recreational park. In 2017, a formal partnership agreement was signed between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the DEC and Erie County to design, engineer and construct a $7 million dam modification/fish passage

project at this location. Construction is projected to occur as early as 2020. The dam fish passage plan calls for lowering the dam spillway from 40 feet to approximately 15 feet and constructing a fish passage channel and weir. The weir will allow seasonal passage of selected fish species while also maintaining a barrier to sea lamprey migration. DEC notes the Cattaraugus is one of the most productive sea lamprey spawning and nursery areas in Lake Erie, and if the dam was

altogether removed to address existing safety issues, or if the fish passage weir was not selective, this entire system would become accessible to sea lamprey. In their adult life phase, sea lamprey are highly parasitic and can kill up to 40 pounds of fish in a year. Maintaining a sea lamprey barrier is a critical element of this project and will allow the Great Lakes Fishery Commission (GLFC) and their sea lamprey control agents the ability to continue ongoing sea lamprey population

control/assessment activities. The full draft of the Upper Cattaraugus Creek Fisheries Management Plan is available on DEC's website. To comment on the plan, the public can email with the subject line "Upper Cattaraugus Creek Plan" to fwfishle@dec.ny.gov or send written comments via U.S. Mail to: Jason Robinson, Unit Leader, Lake Erie Fisheries Research Unit, 178 Point Drive North, Dunkirk, NY 14048-1031.

Volunteers, club organizers work to keep many miles of snowmobile trails open

By Rick Miller

When you are out on snowmobile trails in Cattaraugus County this winter, remember for a minute the volunteers who help maintain them. For many years, Cathy Hill of Cattaraugus has served as county snowmobile trail coordinator. It consists of a lot of paperwork. This season, after 25 years with the Cattaraugus County Snowmobile Federation, she’s backed off from that role. This summer she did a lot of paperwork and helped other volunteers with a lot of trail work. Not all the signs have been put out on the trails yet this year. “There was a lot of rain this summer,” she said. “We had some bridges wash out. It was a tough summer.” Hill said some of the Snow-Bounders club secondary trails may close this year because they don’t have enough manpower to maintain them. Up to 7 miles of trail could close this season. That still leaves 85 miles of trails, down from 110 miles only a few years ago, Hill said. “It’s not going to affect

crews may still be placing signs on trails at the last minute. Just because the trails opened on Dec. 19 doesn’t mean there was enough snow to groom them, Hill warned. Her husband, Tom, drives one of four groomers the Snow-Bounders own and maintain using state snowmobile grants. “I’d like to see a decent winter,” Hill said. “Snowmobiling is a costly family sport. The sleds can cost $6,000 to $15,000.

how you get from point A to point B,” she said, “but some people won’t be able to access the main trail near their homes.” Hill said she’s checked with other clubs and it’s the same everywhere. “We have the same volunteer base. The younger generation thinks it’s something that happens on its own. Nobody wants to do volunteer work.” “We’ve probably lost 50 percent of our volunteer base who have retired,” she added. “The most difficult part is not being able to get out on the trails

until after deer season.” Club membership is about the same as in past years, Hill said. Members get a reduced price on their state snowmobile registration. “It’s been a tough couple of years,” Hill said. “Every time it would snow, it would melt. There was no base. You couldn’t groom.” Club members dream of too much snow to groom. The trails opened on Dec. 19, but fluctuating temperatures and light snowshowers have made snowmobiling scarce.

There are more than 400 miles of snowmobile trails throughout Cattaraugus County, plus another 75 miles in Allegany State Park. That makes this region a snowmobile destination location. “When I was younger, you just rode in your own little circles, you didn’t ride from town to town like you do now,” Hill said. Some trails still need to be signed, she said. You can’t do that during deer season either — or before a cornfield has been harvested. Some sign

The registration is $45 if you belong to a club. Then there’s clothing. Then if it’s a lousy winter and you only get out two or three times. “It’s nice to drive around in the winter and see 12 to 15 snowmobiles parked outside each location,” she continued. “It’s a boost for the economy. Many restaurants say if it wasn’t for snowmobile season, they wouldn’t stay open. I’d like to see a couple of nice seasons.”

$135,000 secured for veterans with PTSD program

Every day, an average of 22 U.S. military veterans take their own lives. For many, this tragic outcome results from personal battles with post-traumatic stress disorder or a traumatic brain injury. To provide resources to veterans struggling with those types of issues, state Sen. Catharine Young, R-Olean, secured a $135,000 grant in the state budget to create a Cattaraugus County branch of the Pfc. Joseph Dwyer Peer-to-Peer Veterans Support Program, her office recently announced. Young also secured $185,000 to continue the program in Chautauqua County, where the program

has helped veterans since 2015. The Dwyer Program, as it is commonly known, brings veterans together in an anonymous setting to help one another cope with PTSD and TBIs. The Dwyer Program helps veterans in 16 New York counties. The program is open to all veterans, regardless of branch of service, deployment record or official medical designation as suffering from PTSD. The program is operated with six goals in mind: Pursuing outreach and education; Providing peer-to-peer support; Building resiliency

among veterans; Encouraging a connection between veterans, their families, friends, and the community; Providing access to suicide prevention/ intervention initiatives; and Fostering an atmosphere of hope. “When veterans return from combat, they often face challenges as they reintegrate into civilian life,” Young said. “Families and friends of returning soldiers, and soldiers who have been home for decades, sometimes find it difficult to understand the demons haunting their loved ones. Personal dialogue with those who

have experienced the same struggles has been shown as a highly-effective tool to help those suffering from PTSD and other stress disorders find relief.” Steve McCord, director of the Cattaraugus County Veterans’ Services Agency, said the Dwyer Program will be a welcome addition to the services available to county veterans. He also thanked Young for her ongoing support of veterans. “Anytime we can bring in a new program to help veterans, especially those struggling with PTSD, it’s a great thing,” he said. “We support this program and we’re extremely excited about bringing it to

‘Exercise for Cystic Fibrosis’ to support worthy cause Jan. 5 By Deb Everts

Local fitness trainer Bradley Poole invites the public to come out and support a worthy cause at his “Exercise for Cystic Fibrosis” fundraising event in Ellicottville Saturday, Jan. 5, upstairs at Madigan’s. At 4 p.m., Poole will lead attendees in a 30-minute cardio blast workout, which is a total body workout combining cardio, strength and agility movements. He said these movements keep the heart rate elevated, burn fat and make the person working out sweat. “Attendees are not required to participate in the workout. They can just come, support, watch, hang out and have fun,” he said. “It’s going to be a fun event for a great cause.” Poole said everybody can do the workout because it’s designed for all fitness levels and body weights. He said if someone can’t do the regular version, they don’t , have to worry because he will show them some modifications. In addition to the cardio workout, the event will also feature basket raffles, a DJ, food and beverages. Beverages are not covered by entrance fee. “Just to make it more fun, feel free to dress in costume for the workout,” he said. “I will be leading the workout as Richard Simmons, so throw in some ‘80s gear or other fun stuff. If you don't want to dress up, don’t sweat it.” Poole, of Salamanca, said he is doing this benefit all on his own because he was born with cystic fibrosis (CF), which is an inherited life-threatening disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. He said this event will not only help raise funds to find a cure, but it will also bring awareness to the locals about the disease. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, cystic

Cattaraugus County.” According to the Dwyer Program website, since the program began five years ago, not one struggling veteran who has participated has taken their own life. “The Dwyer Program provides a unique veteranto-veteran approach that connects servicemen and women with those who can relate, so that all involved can draw on their personal experience to cope with PTSD, with the ultimate goal of saving lives,” Young said. “The program is named in memory of Pfc. Joseph Dwyer, a war hero who, despite the support from a loving family, passed away in 2008 from

complications with PTSD following his return from service in Iraq.” First established in Suffolk County as part of the 2012-13 state budget, the Dwyer Program has been used to assist veterans in Chautauqua, Broome, Erie, Niagara, Jefferson, Monroe, Nassau, Onondaga, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Dutchess, Suffolk and Westchester counties. Cattaraugus veterans interested in taking part in the program can contact Cattaraugus County Veterans’ Service Agency at cattco.org/veterans or at 701-3296.

Marvin told state police that, after he got pushed to the ground, he got up, pulled out his gun while walking backward into the road and gave three verbal commands of “stop, I have a pistol.” Marvin said Janesz “kept coming at me” so he shot him. Marvin then dropped the gun and put his hands in the air. State police arrived shortly after and took him into custody. New York is not a “Stand Your Ground” law state.

A LOOK BACK Continued from front page

Fred’s father reopened his harness/blacksmith shop and by 1886, in this shop, you could purchase

buffalo, wolf and other fancy lap robes for keeping warm as you rode around during our cold winters, blankets, whips, currycombs and brushes, collars, leather, web and rope halters, oil to use on the harness and bridles as well as the hubs of the wheels, along with carriages, harnesses, wheels and all the trimmings. What kind of carriages did they have and what did they cost? Well, in 1899, there was the 2-seat surrey with the fringe on the top from $75 to $200, Buggies

from $45 to $200, Mill wagons $35, Spring wagons from $45 to $100 and buckboards around $50. Like cars there were so many brands of them as well, did you know that the Studebaker Brothers made a heavy-duty farm wagon? Cannot forget the sleighs, oh, and of course the bells for the harnesses. They also supplied services such as repair, painting and cleaning the harness, wagons, wheels and other items, including wringers on washing

machines. Fred partnered with his father in 1921, and together they served the needs of some 300 horses at the Buffalo and Batavia raceways. Many horse owners from East Aurora patronized his shop for all of their equestrian needs. Some of his customers traveled all the way from Bradford, Pa. Another fire occurred in 1922, once more destroying the harness shop. It was at this point that Fred then moved the shop to Mechanic Street. As you know, things happen in threes, and for Ferrin Harness shop it held true as once again a fire burned his shop at that location, which also consumed the whole street, even going

around the corner and part way down Main Street. It was rebuilt once again on Mechanic Street. Fred was born in Springville in 1877. He was actively involved with the Concord Historical Society and a member of the Springville Grange No. 1136. Fred and Bertha had three children,, Alson Ferrin of Springville, Mrs. Earl (Alma) Whittaker of Ballston Spa and Robert Ferrin of San Gabriel, Cali., and had five grandchildren. Fred died in September of 1968 and is buried in Maplewood Cemetery. You can learn more about local businesses by reading the local newspapers, phone directory’s and genealogy that we had here

Permanent veterans wall planned for East Aurora

Joe E. Sahlen, president of Sahlen Packing Co., announced earlier in December the company will sponsor the construction of a custom motorcycle by renowned designers Orange County Choppers to help raise money for a permanent veterans memorial in East Aurora’s Knox Farm State Park. “We’re proud to join Assemblyman David DiPietro in support of installing a permanent tribute to our nation’s veterans in Western New York,” Sahlen said. “And we’re truly excited to work in a remarkable partnership with the folks at Orange County Choppers to make this happen.” DiPietro recently engaged Orange County Choppers (OCC), the custom motorcycle design shop featured on Discovery Channel’s show “American

Chopper.” The team will design and build a bike to be featured on a February 2019 episode of the show and raffled to raise money to help fund the wall. “I’m humbled to be a part of this incredible project, and proud to work alongside local veterans to make this happen,” DiPietro said. “People without the means or ability to travel to our great national memorial sites will have a unique opportunity to respect and share in the experience of honoring our heroes right in East Aurora.” “This will be a singular chopper, like no other, designed to honor our veterans and reflect the uniqueness of the Knox Farm installation,” said Santos Lopez, Orange County Chopper vice president of marketing. “In our experience, this

project will make the State Park a national destination for veterans, their families and all Americans.” To make this all happen, Sahlen agreed to donate the cost of design and construction of the custom chopper. The bike build and filming of the American Chopper episode began in early December. The bike will be completed in late January and will be unveiled in East Aurora. The idea for installing a permanent veterans’ wall in Knox Farm State Park came from area veterans. The American Legion Post 362 in East Aurora recently agreed to purchase the wall from American Veterans Traveling Tribute (AVTT), which brought the veterans tribute to Knox Farm State Park in 2009. In a remarkable commitment to America’s veterans, Sahlen Packing Co.

has donated the six-figure cost of the custom motorcycle to assure the project is successful and the permanent veterans wall is certain to be installed in Knox Farm State Park. The 80-percent replica of the Vietnam Veterans Wall in Washington, D.C. will be eight feet tall and 360 feet long, containing all 58,317 names engraved by veterans on high gloss anodized aluminum. The wall will cost approximately $475,000 plus installation and site design, all privately funded. As the New York State Assemblyman for Erie and Wyoming counties, David DiPietro helped organize State approval of the Knox Farm State Park location and secured a $100,000 grant for installation of the permanent display.

Catt Co. to update Agriculture and Farmland Protection Plan

By Rick Miller

Updating the Cattaraugus County Agriculture and Farmland Protection Plan next year will focus on economic development. Members of the county’s Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board were briefed on efforts to prepare a request for proposals from companies to help update the existing plan.

The county is seeking a $50,000 grant from the state Agriculture and Markets Department to help fund the updating of the plan, which could cost up to $80,000. Patrick McGlew of the county Department of Economic Development, Planning and Tourism outlined the plan to look at the current state of agriculture in Cattaraugus County and how to help improve it.

(Matt Kennedy/Annapurna Pictures via AP) This image released by Annapurna Pictures shows Christian Bale as Dick Cheney, left, and Amy Adams as Lynne Cheney in a scene from “Vice.”

By Kellen M. Quigley In increasingly agitated political times, a comedic biopic about one of the most driven and powerful vice presidents in American history will definitely not be for everyone. Already a pretty even split between loving and loathing by moviegoers and critics alike, “Vice” is not the big-screen adaptation of Dick Cheney’s life many expected to see. For many who disliked it or boycott seeing it at all, the leftist liberal point of view throughout is off-putting. How dare these filmmakers make a comedy out of someone rising through the political ranks and allegedly taking advantage of millions of Americans to feed his own ego. But when you know the movie is written and directed by Adam McKay, a former head writer of “Saturday Night Live” and writer/director of “Anchorman,” “Step Brothers” and “The Big Short,” how can you go into this movie expecting anything but exactly that? It never hurts to do even the smallest amount of research before going to a movie, because “Vice” is McKay delivering some of his smartest, sharpest and most ruthless commentary, and a cautionary “true story” evoking both laughs and tears. The film follows Cheney (portrayed by Christian Bale) in a mostly chronological retelling of his life, starting out as an unassuming Washington insider who quietly rose to wield immense power as Vice President to George W. Bush (Sam Rockwell). With decades of experience, Cheney’s impressive résumé includes White House Chief of Staff, House Minority Whip and Secretary of Defense, all with the support of his mentor Donald Rumsfeld (Steve Carell) and his wife, Lynne (Amy Adams). As Veep, Cheney begins taking on previously unheard of responsibility for the office during 9/11 and its aftermath, driving the Iraq and Afganistan wars and overhauling domestic policy, reshaping the country and the globe in ways that we still feel today. It’s difficult to fairly judge a film like this from all angles when some elements are contradicting how I would usually review a movie. As a fan who wants to be

entertained, I thoroughly enjoyed “Vice” from beginning to end. All the performances were great, McKay’s writing and directing are incredible and the whole production was solid in every regard. Bale completely disappears to where I forgot several times that this wasn’t actually Cheney on screen. Bale captures everything from Cheney’s speech patterns to his hand gestures to his sideways smirk perfectly. Factor in gaining 40 pounds for the role and spending hours in the makeup chair to play the VP from age 23 to 73, and Bale’s got a guaranteed Oscar nomination. Rockwell’s portrayal of W. is so good it comes across as a bad impression. But as with Bale, Rockwell captures something in the 43rd President that makes his performance mesmerizing and hilarious for every second he’s on screen. With Adam’s unrelenting portrayal of Cheney’s wife and Carell’s hilarious interpretation of Rumsfeld, this powerhouse cast drives the story. But critically, when you have obviously fabricated scenes or parts of Cheney’s life that get the Hollywood treatment, it’s tough to say whether this half-comedy, halfdrama captures the man in his entirety or just how the filmmaker wants him to be seen. Before a single credit or establishing shot, McKay tells the audience in opening text that it’s impossible to do Cheney’s life justice because he was so secretive and no one has all the information on what went on behind closed doors, but McKay said he tried his best. And that’s all I needed to know I could sit back and enjoy this ridiculous ride that should in no way be taken entirely seriously. Even with some scenes, such as the 9/11 attacks and Cheney needing a heart transplant, being treated seriously and with respect, most of the time this is a trip into the absurd to best try to understand a political giant no one understood. After years of lowbrow humor that takes the cheap, quick laugh about bodily fluids and women’s anatomy, McKay has matured immensely through “The Big Short” and now “Vice.” That’s not to say he’s not still funny. I think his tackling big — and in many ways hard to talk about — subjects in a smart and sophisticated way has proven again he’s the comedic genius to beat.

Items to get you started on creating your smart home

Technology has changed the way people live in the 21st century. Once ubiquitous, land lines anchored to kitchen walls have now given way to smartphones that can be taken anywhere. Bulky television sets that required at least two people to move have been replaced with high-definition offerings so light and thin they can be mounted on living room walls. It’s no great surprise that technology also is changing the physical places we call home. Smart homes are a rapidly growing trend. In a typical smart home, devices such as the thermostat, television and even the refrigerator can be controlled remotely through the internet. Converting an existing home into a smart home can seem intimidating, especially for people who don’t consider themselves tech savvy. But today’s user-friendly technology makes it relatively easy for anyone to turn his or her home into a smarter one. Before you get started, recognize that there are certain must-have items to turn a home into a smart

make your smart home that much more enjoyable and frustration-free.

home. Hub The hub refers to software or hardware that connects all of your devices and gets them to work together. Think of the various devices you have and then think of their manufacturers. Chances are strong you have devices

manufactured by various companies, and enabling those to work together might seem impossible. A hub does that work for you. And because they can be connected to your smartphone, hubs also make it possible to control devices while you’re away from home.

WiFi router Some people rent their routers from their internet/ cable providers, while others buy their own routers. Regardless of which category you fall into, you’re going to need a good WiFi router to get your smart home up and running. Determine which type of WiFi your home

currently has and then find a router that’s compatible with that WiFi. Request a list of routers that are compatible with your WiFi from your service provider, as not all routers will necessarily work with your internet connection. If possible, upgrade to the fastest WiFi your internet provider offers, as that will

Devices You won’t necessarily need to upgrade your devices to get a smart home. In fact, if you control or can control any device in your home with a smartphone, you are already on your way to having a smart home. Upgrading to a programmable thermostat that’s compatible with your smartphone might be a great idea if your current thermostat is old and not internet-compatible. With a programmable thermostat, you can control the temperature in your home remotely. That ensures the home is a comfortable temperature when you arrive home and allows you to turn off costly heating and cooling units when no one is home. Smart homes may seem futuristic. But chances are strong your home only needs some simple, inexpensive upgrades to join the smart home revolution.

Visitors’ impressions of a home are often dictated by the home’s entryway. Must as one may judge a book by its cover, the same can be said about the impression that a front door and entryway can create, regardless of how accurate that impression is. Making certain changes to an entryway can go a long way toward improving curb appeal. Entryways also can set the scene for a home’s interior. Whether one chooses to be classic or bold, modern or traditional, there are various ways to quickly transform a home’s entryway. • Bold front door color: Color can dramatically enhance an entryway. Painting an existing door or replacing it with a more vivid option can do the trick. The DIY Network says certain colors stand out as favorites. These include turquoise, yellow, red, indigo, orange, and black. The door color should complement the other shades of the home, such as those on siding and trim. • Custom walkway: Guide guests right to the front door with an attractive (and safe) walkway. Stamped concrete or decorative paver blocks may fit the bill. This walkway can extend to the street or to the driveway. • Contain plants. Landscaping around the entryway should be neat and

Make sure the home can be found easily with bold and decorative house numbers. Consider two different address signs: one illuminated and easily viewed from the curb, and

another closer to the front door. • Utilize high-end materials. The relatively small area of real estate by the front door enables homeowners to splurge on more opulent materials that can really add a feeling of luxury. These can include colorful tiles, ornate planters, decorative wooden doors, or elaborate knobs and lighting fixtures. • Add architectural

Host SGI varsity girls win Emerling Holiday Tournament

The Springville-Griffith Institute varsity girls basketball team claimed the Emerling Holiday Tournament championship on Friday evening after a dominating 66-28 performance over Christian Central Academy. Tournament MVP Ivette Lewandowski scored 17 points, while all tournament selection Kenz Owens dropped 14 points while dishing out 10 assists and running the Lady Griffs’ offense. Coach Bob Gainey also praised the defense of

“tenacious, ball-hawking” guard Grace Zabawa. “She drew the assignment of shutting down the other team’s best player and she didn't miss a beat,” Gainey said. Leading by 11 at halftime, SGI built on its advantage in the third quarter by out-scoring CCA 27-7. Meg Rehrauer checked into the game late in the first quarter and put in 12 points. The “unsung heroes” on the night, Gainey said, were Kelsey

Zabawa and Bella Oakley, who protected the rim and cleaned up the glass on both ends of the floor. Scorers on the night included: Lewandowski (17 points), Owens (14), Rehrauer (12), Oakley (7), Kelsey Zabawa (8), Nyah Solly (3) and Grace Zabawa (5). Now at 7-1, the Springville varsity girls play host again on Friday night, Jan. 4, to Cleveland Hill.

The varsity girls basketball team moved its record to 6-1 on the season after a victory over Middle Early College, 57-26, in the first round of the Emerling Holiday Tournament. After a slow shooting start, Springville outscored MEC by 10 in the second quarter and 24-12 in the second half. Kenz Owens had five steals while Kelsey Zabawa and Bella Oakley

combined for 17 rebounds. The heavy lifting on the night in scoring was done by Ivette Lewandowski, whose mid-range shooting helped her pour in 23 points. Other scorers on the night included: Meg Rehrauer (8 points), Kelsey Zabawa (7), Kenz Owens and Bella Oakley (6 each), Grace Zabawa (3), and Nyah Solly along with Gracie Attebery (2 each).

SGI students discuss the cardboard boat races

Before the holiday break, students at Springville-Griffith High School participated in the annual cardboard boat races in the high school pool. Last week, we looked at the race itself and what goes into preparing for it. Now, we catch up with some of the students to hear why the enjoy this annual tradition so much. Many of the competitors noted that the competition is an enjoyable way for the students to test themselves in their ingenuity. Josh Beres mentioned the “sense of accomplishment knowing that our boat performed well after weeks of preparation, not knowing what was going to happen.” According to Ben Sullivan, their work began with a lot of research, then the construction of a scale model which tested for flaws in their design. After modifying this accordingly, the students began building the boat itself. “Usually you start with the bottom and the front,” said Michael Spagnola, a senior who took the class last year. “Then once you have them made and the size how you want it, you can build and strengthen from there.” Spagnola and his partner, Joe Lupica, won first place in last year’s competition and were permitted by Shelley to compete again this year with a boat built in their spare time. “I started at the high school in July 2016 and that summer, we hired Mr. Shelley to be a technology teacher here,” said James Bialasik, high school principal. “He started the boat races that winter and I have participated in all three since then.” Partnered with fellow staff member Mark Vogel, Bialasik entered the day having no idea what their boat would look like, or even if it would stay in one piece. This year, it was built by freshmen from the Intro to Technology class. “The best part for me has been seeing how the event has grown both in terms of participation and in terms of ingenuity,” Bialasik said. “It was also great to see how many students wanted to attend the event to cheer on their classmates.” Each group’s boat was designed differently. For

instance, John Ettipio, a senior in the CAD/CAM class, said his boat “was constructed like a sailboat utilizing a keel. It sticks down in the water to prevent tipping.” Ethan Fisher and his partner, Josh Beres, wanted to design the bottom of their boat similar to that of a pontoon boat. In addition to researching for their design, the students were also faced with the task of coming up with some type of strategy for during the race. “Our strategy racing was that when we entered the turn he would brake and hold his paddle in the water and I would paddle on the opposite side to maximize the turning radius,” explained Beres in regard to their turning. After the competition, each group had time to reflect on things they would change if they were given the opportunity. Daniel Gernatt said he would make his boat “wider to make it more stable.” Several groups faced issues with their paddle design in that they were too different. “I would make both of the partners’ paddles the same size so we wouldn’t

have to counter each other,” Fisher said. “Usually if the partners have the same size paddle it works best so one person isn’t out-paddling the other,” Michael added Ben Sullivan added that he would “make the boat more aerodynamic and take the corners faster.” Beres said that he would change the design of the front of their boat to “a more rounded shape to allow water to flow around it easier.” Spagnola said not many other classes allow students to make something they can actually use for a competition. “Being creative and doing your research is a big advantage in this competition,” he added. Sullivan said he enjoyed “actually using the boat in the competition and having it be something I made.” And what was the best part? “I’d have to say actually racing the boats and seeing how what you made can perform in a real contest,” Fisher said. (This is the second part of a two-part series. The first part ran in our Dec. 28, 2018 edition.)

How SGI students celebrate the new year By Elyana Schosek, Student Reporter Every year on Dec. 31, families and friends gather to celebrate the coming of the new year. Everyone does something different to start off the new year, as can be seen from asking a few students from SpringvilleGriffith High School about their best New Year’s memories or favorite traditions surrounding the new year. Like Ben Sullivan, many students said they “stay up until midnight to watch the ball drop” in Times Square in New York City. “I don’t generally have many traditions for the new year, but we usually stay home as a family and play games until we can watch the ball drop on TV,” Marin Lehr said. “My favorite New Year’s tradition is the food! I love being with family talking about memories from the year and eating the best food,” Allie Emmick mentioned. Ethan Fisher said, “Every year, I have all the Fishers and family friends come over and we all celebrate the new year with a huge party.” “Every year we always stay up until midnight and do something ‘big’ right when the ball drops,” Lexi Moriarty said. This year, Lexi and her friends are planning on jumping in the snow in their bathing suits, that is if there’s even any snow left.

Miya Domes recalled a time when she was little when she and her friend, Carley Delaney, “would go out in the street at 12:00 and bang pots and pans and wake up all the neighbors.” Melanie Barry said her favorite New Year’s tradition would be going to her

friend, Rachel Stressinger’s, New Year’s Eve party with her family. “I’m spending New Year’s with my French girlfriend and it’s probably going to be my best memory,” said Blaze Schelble. Max Schwabel noted that his family usually goes skiing and snowboarding

when his cousins visit from Virginia. Others like Sam Gottstine and Mikey Evans spend most of their New Year’s catching some Z’s. “I stay up until midnight, then sleep until noon,” Sam said. When asked what he does for New Year’s, Mikey had a simple reply: “I just sleep.” Evelyn Smith mentioned that her favorite New Year’s tradition when she was younger included going to a close family friend’s house and going sledding every year since her family moved to Springville. “A tradition I do with my friends is getting together and watching our favorite movies and talking about what happened in the year and what we hope to happen next year,” said Hannah Milbrand. “Sort of to start off the new year with high hopes.” A resolution is a firm decision to do or not to do something. Many Americans form one or multiple New Year’s resolutions, things they plan on doing or changing in the coming year. Among the most common are eating healthier, get more exercise, save more and spend less, get more sleep, learn a new skill, read more and get organized. Although most Americans do make such goals, many do not for one reason or another. The purpose of making a resolution is to change a habit or trait, to accomplish a personal goal, or just to improve ones life in general.
