Springville Village Board members question potential new recycling program By Kellen M. Quigley In its first meeting of the new year, the village of Springville Board of Trustees had plenty to say about a new potential recycling program for the community, specifically whether new recycling receptacles would be a smart investment. The board members spent about 30 minutes Monday discussing the possibility of accepting a nearly $60,000 grant to purchase about 1,300 65-gallon totes for village residents to begin using for their recycling. “I think it’s a good move, and I think it will encourage our residents to recycle more and recycle in the proper way, and that is the right thing to do,” said Mayor William Krebs. Ultimately, the village trustees decided to table accepting the grant until the next meeting, scheduled for Jan. 22. “All recycling would then be in the totes only and picked up on a bi-weekly basis,” said Liz Melock, the village administrator. “The (state Department of Environmental Conservation) grant should cover the estimate given to us.” The new receptacles would be issued to residents and property owners who contract garbage pick-up through the village. Melock said only about 40 don’t go through the village, and if those property owners want recycling pick up they would have to use village program. “The recyclables will include only those items on that list that we sent out, which

West Valley Hotel owner hoping for summer opening

By Kellen M. Quigley

WEST VALLEY — The past couple of years have been fascinating for the former West Valley Hotel. From being raised several feet in the air to having the majority of its interior completely gutted, the ongoing renovation process has its eyes on the finish line, which will hopefully be crossed in several months. Following construction in 2017 of two wooden decks on the front of the structure and the addition of new siding in 2018 — the most visually striking improvement to passersby on Route 240 — completing the inside’s modern overhaul is nearly all that’s left to do.

West Valley resident Doug Studd has led the renovation of the landmark structure, something he says the community has continually let him know they’re happy to see. “I didn’t really know a lot of people in town when I bought this,” he said. “After I bought it, people have been coming out of the woodwork, and they’re so appreciative… They show me old pictures, stop me on the street and shake my hand, and I had no idea it meant so much to these people.” In 2017, Studd, now 70, said he had a goal of being open in a year, but now it looks like it will take at least two.

recycling, something some board members felt might not be worth dealing with. “There’s policy and there’s practice, and I’ve spent the last couple of months trying to find the file to follow the guidelines

Waste Management as put out for us,” said village trustee Nils Wikman. “The ambiguities of the thing, I don’t know what I should put in the thing or not, and that’s becoming problematic.” Wikman said showed the board and meeting attendees several items that may or may not be accepted under the guidelines, such as padded envelopes, brown cardboard with tape on it, corrugated cardboard and boxes with plastic on it. “I don’t want us to buy 1,200 65-gallon totes and have (Waste Management) drive by all of them because they’re not compliant,” he said. “It’s an educational process at the very least.” Superintendent Ken Kostowniak said the village applied for the grant about three years ago. He said the grant changed from helping pay for refuse pick-up equipment, but because the village has its own dump facility, the recycling totes were the only thing the grant could be used for. “This is a DEC grant village-wide so the people who live in our community are encouraged to recycle,” he added. Board trustee Alan Chamberlain said he agrees that they should do everything they can do encourage better recycling in the village, but he’s unsure about some of the confusing aspects of the program, such as how contaminated totes would be handled. Melock said the current contract with Waste Management reads that if there’s See Recycling page 2

Hit the slopes at Kissing Bridge during January for great opportunities

By Kellen M. Quigley

As winter finally rolls in and feels like it’s here for the long term, why not spend a day (or two) on the slopes this January, the perfect month for skiing, snowboarding and all things snow sports. January is National Learn a Snowsport Month, and Kissing Bridge will be offering some great opportunities for skiers and snowboarders all month long. With 39 slopes spread out over 700 acres, there’s lots of great terrain perfect for the beginner skier or snowboarder, plus several challenging slopes for advanced snowsport athletes. As of press time, few of the slopes were open due to a spike in temperatures earlier in the week. However, those numbers are sure to increase now that

Cattaraugus County legislators hold reorganizational meeting

By Rick Miller

Cattaraugus County lawmakers reelected Olean Republican James J. Snyder as County Legislature chairman during a reorganization meeting Jan. 2. Snyder was nominated by his son, Legislator Joseph Snyder, R-Ischua, who accidentally nominated himself to the laughter of his colleagues. Both legislators’ first names are James, but the younger Snyder goes by the first name of Joseph. Republican Dan Hale of Portville was elected vice chairman. He succeeds Democrat Susan Labuhn of Salamanca, who for the past year was the first Democrat to hold the position. Republicans control 12 of the 17 Legislature seats, but last year four Republicans joined the five minority Democrats in a bipartisan coalition to elect James Snyder chairman over Donna Vickman and Labuhn as vice chairman. Under pressure from rank and file Republican Party members, County Republican Party Chairman Robert Keis Sr. met with GOP lawmakers in November to urge them to elect a Republican as vice chairman. That apparently worked. Vickman, R-Farmersville, was re-elected majority leader, Howard VanRensselaer, R-Randolph, was named assistant majority leader and Joseph Boberg was named majority whip. Democrats named Labuhn minority leader. David Koch, D-Salamanca, was named assistant minority leader and John Padlo, D-Olean, who served for the past year as majority leader, was named minority whip. Legislative leaders echoed praise for department heads and County Administrator Jack Searles and his staff. Labuhn said she called last year’s

emergency earlier in the year, he said he was put behind another 12 weeks. In the meantime, Studd said he had a few extra hands join over the summer to help the project across the finish line. “We’re about 75 percent complete,” he said Tuesday. “We’re going to hit it again this weekend.” Although a $159,729 state grant last year had helped offset some of the cost, much of the work has been Studd’s own money. Unfortunately, he said that has been one of the significant factors in delaying the opening. Tasks such as installing a new sprinkler system and a new septic tank were necessary, but time and money consuming. But Studd said he wants to make the finished product the best it can be. “You get these big surprises that you didn’t expect,” he explained. “We’re not going to cut any corners. The engineer told me I had done too much, but where would I have done anything differently?” Studd purchased the building at a county tax sale about three years ago; the business had most recently been operating as a restaurant and bar on the first floor. Three hotel rooms, an apartment and a large empty hall on the

and Vickman were sponsors. Labuhn raised several questions and urged it be referred to committee. That motion lost on a voice vote. The coroners could end up with health insurance for life if they serve 20 years, Personnel Officer Julie Carr said. The county administrator said the long-term costs of the resolution had not been calculated. The coroners are salaried and do not have set hours, Labuhn said. She didn’t know if they had opted into the New York State Retirement System. On the 11-6 roll call vote, the following legislators voted yes: Robert Breton, R-Franklinville; Vergilio “Dick” Giardini, D-Allegany; Hale, Richard Helmich, R-Delevan; Frank Higgins, R-Olean; Richard Klancer, R-Gowanda; Norman Marsh, R-Little Valley; Joseph Snyder, VanRensselaer, Vickman and James Snyder. Voting no were: Boberg, Andrew Burr, R-Gowanda; Barbara Hastings, D-Allegany; Koch, Labuhn and Padlo. Labuhn questioned after the vote whether VanRensselaer should have voted since his son Howie VanRensselaer is a county coroner. County Attorney Eric Firkel said later that since VanRensselaer had no financial interest in the issue it was proper for him to cast a vote. Labuhn said VanRensselaer works for his son and had previously recused himself from voting on resolutions involving the coroners. Democrats voted to change their official newspaper from the weekly Salamanca Press to the daily Olean Times Herald, which also serves as the official Republican newspaper. County legal advertising goes in the political party’s official newspaper.

bipartisan coalition “common sense.” She added: “We still have obstacles.” The biggest obstacle this year is that 2019 is an election year when all 17 seats are up for election. Three legislators will be term-limited, meaning they have served three four-year terms and cannot run again for Legislature for at least a year: James Snyder, Vickman

and Padlo. The most controversial resolution of 54 legislators acted on at the reorganization meeting was one that grants the four elected county coroners health insurance benefits. The measure, which will cost more than $54,000 this year, had been raised two years ago and was turned down as publicly unpopular. Chairman Snyder

second floor hadn’t been used in years. More recently, a new heating system is in the process of being installed, the engineers have been working on the kitchen design and the electric wiring is about 90 percent done. There are also items, like the septic system, to be approved by the county. “We’re not that far out, it’s just the big-ticket items,” Studd said. In addition to the restaurant itself, he also explained his hope of one day renovating the spacious room upstairs, located in the southeast corner of the building. The room features an original bandstand and enough space to fit plenty of people, perhaps for banquets. “I also plan on putting an elevator in here,” he said. “If we have banquets or whatever else, we’ll have the elevator to run the food from one floor to the next.” Studd also hopes one day to move into the apartment, located in the southwestern corner upstairs. He doesn’t plan on getting into the hotel business but wants to renovate the three upstairs rooms in case someone needs to stay, he said. “This has been a very big learning experience for me,” Studd added. “But we’re getting it done.”

“You buy 1,300 people a tote for $30, that’s a pretty good deal even if all the garbage goes in it and it becomes a garbage can,” he said. “It’s still a container with wheels on it.” Krebs added that it’s important for the village to explain the importance of recycling to the residents and to be proactive about it. The village board decided they would try invite a representative from Waste Management to attend the next regular meeting and answer any questions the trustees might have. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 22 upstairs in the control center.

Kostowniak said when talking with other municipalities, the pros of the program and having the totes outweigh the negatives.

Allegany State Park to present Kissing Bridge skiers dominate ‘Fat Bike Run Ride’ races at HoliMont next weekend

Photo Submitted Hannah Goetz, Abigail Fischer and Sydney Minier, from Kissing Bridge, placed first through third, respectively, in the U16 Women slalom races during the opening weekend of the Empire Cup Series at HoliMont last week.

By Caitlin Croft Submitted photo Several Allegany State Park staff members participated in “Global Fat Bike Day” Dec. 9 at Long Point State Park on Chautauqua Lake. The event was sponsored by Western New York Mountain Bicycling Association (WNYMBA) and Loud Performance Products of Bemus Point. Shown (from left) are staff members Autumn Buck, Joe Bottone and Pat Dove.

By Deb Everts Biking enthusiasts will have the opportunity to enjoy a new winter activity at Allegany State Park, beginning Jan. 18, as the park’s Environmental Education and Recreation Department hosts the first “Full Moon Fat Bike Fun Ride.” Riders participating in the free event should meet at the Red House Administration Building at 6 p.m. to check in at the main lobby, although registration is not required. The ride will begin at 6:30 p.m. “Recently, we have been exploring new recreation programming ideas here at Allegany State Park,” said Assistant Regional Director Thomas Livak. Because bike availability is limited, anyone interested in demoing a fat bike for the evening must call ahead at 354-9101, ext. 232. Participants should bring their fat bike, warm clothes, headlights and a sense of adventure. If there is no snow, any bike is welcome. Environmental Educator Adele Wellman said with

the growing popularity of fat bikes, the recreation department wanted to give patrons another way to enjoy winter. She said the 5-mile fun ride is for all levels and will last up to two hours, depending on the weather. According to Wellman, riders will take a winding course through the Red House Campgrounds, around the lake out to the Butterfly Meadow and into the woods. The leisurely ride in the moonlight will eventually end by the warm fires in Red House Picnic Shelter. A recent press release from the park’s recreation department said fat bikes are the monster trucks of the bike world. With big tires, typically 3.8-inches (97 mm) or wider, they are designed for low pressure to allow riding on soft, unstable terrain, such as snow, sand, bogs and mud. “Sports like snowshoeing and fat bike riding have grown in popularity in Western New York and we are looking for new ways to help patrons engage in activities while learning and enjoying their experience at the park,”

Livak said. They have been around since the early 1900s, but it wasn’t until frame builders, in both Alaska and Mexico, began experimenting with different frames, parts and tire widths in the 1990s that “Fat Bikes” were born. According to Bicycling magazine, fat bikes make quick work of people’s fitness goals because they make outdoor exercise possible and the workouts are tough. On a fat bike, a person can burn up to 1,500 calories an hour in soft conditions. They’ll also recover faster than if they went for an hour-long run. “The park is also offering summer programming in popular sporting activities such as paddle boarding, kayaking and mountain biking,” Livak added. More bike rides are planned to be offered on Monday nights at 5:30 p.m., beginning Jan. 28. For more information, contact the Environmental Education and Recreation Department at 3549101, ext. 232, or email alleganysp@parks.ny.gov.

With the holidays in our rear view, junior racers all over Western New York are buckling down for what is looking to be an eventful 2019 race season. Mother Nature has made many races a challenge with rain, sleet and varying snow conditions on the race hills. Thankfully this past weekend she was kind for the opening weekend of the Empire Cup Series. In these races, athletes will qualify for the Winter Empire State Games held in Lake Placid. The state is split into two divisions, East and West. This past weekend two slaloms were held at Holiday Valley and HoliMont. Day One, Holiday Valley U21/19 Women: Page Hazen of Kissing Bridge took 5th. U21/19 Men: Buffalo Ski Club’s Christian Meyer

them, usually bringing out the weaker points of the merchandise with the customer. The customer almost invariably would defend it. They kept the store much as it was when they purchased it except for enlarging the different departments and bringing in new lines to broaden the store’s perspective. In the first years when they were open, they sold more yard goods than any other dry goods store of the same size in this area of the state. This fact becomes more remarkable when it is considered that in the late 1930s, people bought most of their clothes ready-made and making them was not as common. The store engaged four full-time clerks and one part-time clerk, all women. The stock comes directly from manufacturers or salesman as they came in to show what they had. They also had a book department and a sewing department where cloth, needles, thread, countless patterns and other notions soon were seen. Soon the electric sewing machine was becoming popular and their sales went up once again. They enjoyed running the store for 22 years until July 1958. Then one of the employees, Minnie Westfall, who took

care of the account books for the business, had the opportunity to purchase it from Smith and Klink, and as she states, “I bought it!” She remodeled and opened the store under the name of Thimble and Thread Shop. The main items of merchandise in the store are fabrics, sold from bolts as raw material, to create items like dresses, blouses, draperies, curtains and the like. Among the famous brand names in the store included “Coahoma,” “Fruit of the Loom” and “Spring Knight.” Other items that could be found in the aisles were thread, yarn needles … in fact, anything for needleworkers. Sweaters, blouses, handbags and slips to blankets could be seen stacked neatly on the shelves and or on display. And once again, 20 years later, the store changes hands. In January 1978, Doris Moritz established the Stitching Post, a place that specialized in all level skills of sewers, including quilting, specialty, sewing and crafts. So businesses may come and go, but the building and shops stay, and we are fortunate to have people eager to run them, giving us a local place to shop. Do you have stories to tell us about the town while you were growing up? Photos to share — we will make

copies if you are willing to let us — and even story ideas for these articles, well stop down!

Bret Michaels bringing a hard-rockin’ show to Casino in Salamanca Jan. 19

After 35 years in the music business, rock icon Bret Michaels is still going strong and pleasing three generations of fans. Michaels is bringing his solo tour, “Bret Michaels Songs & Stories World Tour,” to the Seneca Allegany Events Center Saturday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. According to Loudwire, Poison’s “Nothin’ But a Good Time” tour came to a close last July. He launched his online series, “Classic Acoustic Songs and Stories Live From Bret Michaels’ House,” this past fall. A talented musician, singer, songwriter and author, Michaels is best known as the frontman of the 1980s “big hair” metal rock band Poison and as the star of the former reality television show “Rock of Love.” According to Spotify, Michaels rose to fame as the outlandish frontman of the rock band, Poison, and helped define the rock-n-roll scene on the Sunset Strip, in California. The ‘80s glam metal band has been hugely successful selling over 30 million records worldwide and numerous hit singles. Michaels’ solo career has been equally successful as he has released and sold multiple solo albums including “Custom Built,” released in 2010, that topped the charts and became No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock list. His CD, “Jammin’ With Friends,” released in June 2013, featured a large group of legendary artists and friends of his including Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Buffett, Ace Frehley (Kiss), Michael Anthony (Van Halen) and members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. His follow up album, “True Grit,” featured the single, “Girls on Bars” and “A Beautiful Soul.” He released the single, “Jorja Bleu,” in 2017, which was

penned for and named after his youngest daughter who was going through a tough moment in her life. According to Butler Radio, Michaels was born Bret Michael Sychak in Butler, Pa., and grew up in the suburb Lyndora. His musical career began as a teenager when he started playing the guitar and started a band with his friends. They performed at numerous venues in Pennsylvania under the name, “Paris,” before moving to Los Angeles in early 1984. The group renamed their band “Poison” and signed a deal with Enigma Records, releasing their first album, “Look What the Cat Dragged In,” in August 1986. The band’s power ballad, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” released in December 1988, came to be regarded as “the ultimate ‘80s anthem about heartbreak.”

Ellicottville kicks off the new year with ‘Winter Blues Weekend’

Photo submitted Back again for its 19th year is the “Winter Blues Weekend,” which kicks off Friday, Jan. 18 and runs through Sunday, Jan. 20. Shown is one of the bands that performed at last year’s event.

By Deb Everts The Ellicottville Chamber of Commerce presents its first event of the new year, “Winter Blues Weekend,” Jan. 18–20. Back again for its 19th year, the popular blues- and jazz-packed weekend kicks off next Friday evening and continues through Sunday. “What a better way to get out and break away from the post-holiday funk than with some friends and great music?” said Barb Pump, events and membership manager at the Ellicottville chamber. People looking for a way to chase away the winter blues will find relief at some different local bars and restaurants

in the village, including Madigan's, Balloons, Villaggio and Gin Mill. Along with friends and family, they can enjoy great live music being performed at least nine different bands, all for free. Pump said the “Winter Blues Weekend” event was started in 2001 as a way to bring people to Ellicottville after the holiday season. “If you’re a fan of the blues, looking for a good time or just want to get out of the house after a long, cold month, this is where you need to be,” she said. The current Winter Blues lineup is as follows. More performers will be added as the date gets closer. Friday, Jan. 18: Madigans: J.J. Moscato,

7 p.m. Balloons: Jake James featuring Tony Holiday and Lanson Stone, 7 p.m. Villaggio: Buffalo Blues Benefit Band, 8:30 p.m. Gin Mill: 2 Guys Drinkin’ Blues, 9 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19: Balloons: Tommy Z Band, 6 p.m. Madigans: Dave Constantino Band, 7 p.m. Villaggio: The All Star Blues Band, 8:30 p.m. Gin Mill: Big Sauce Trio, 9 p.m. Madigans: Rob Z Karaoke, 9:30 p.m. Sunday Jan. 20: Gin Mill: 2 Guys Drinkin’ Blues, 8 p.m. This is the current lineup and more bands will be added daily. For more information on this and all events, check the chamber’s website at ellicottvilleny.com or call 699-5046.

In the ‘80s and early ‘90s, Poison emerged as one of the greatest glam metal bands in the world. According to Billboard magazine, the group sold more than 40 million records worldwide. The band’s Top 10 songs are “Talk Dirty to Me,” “Look What the Cat Dragged In,” “What I Like About You,” “Something to Believe In,” “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” “Your Mama Don’t Dance,” “Fallen Angel,” “I Won’t Forget You,” “Nothin’ but a Good Time” and “SexyBack.” Since 1998, Michaels has divided his time between the band and his career as a solo artist. He wrote, directed, scored and starred in the 1998 thriller, “A Letter From Death Row” that was co-produced by Charlie Sheen, who formed a production company with Michaels in the mid-‘90s. Michaels has released studio albums,

“Songs of Life” (2003), “Freedom of Sound” (2005), “Custom Built” (2010), and “Jammin’ with Friends” (2013); compilation albums “Show Me Your Hits” (2000), “Ballads, Blues & Stories” (2001), “Rock My World” (2008), and “True Grit” (2015); and extended plays “Country Demos” (2000) and “Bret Michaels: Acoustic Sessions”(2008). In addition to his musical career, he starred in the reality TV series, “Rock of Love with Bret Michaels,” which aired between July 2007 and April 2009. Other TV appearances include “Bret Michaels: Life As I Know It,” a reality show on VH1 that focused on his home life with his daughters and their mother, and “The Celebrity Apprentice 3.” Michaels just completed the second year of his sold-out “Party Starts Now” solo tour, which has brought recordbreaking numbers to outdoor festivals and arenas, according to Digital Journal. Michaels’ new song, “Unbroken,” features his 13-year old daughter, Jorja, in her first musical performance with her father. Not only does she sing and perform on the track with him, but the father/ daughter duo also co-wrote the song about adversity together. The single is expected to be released in January or February. At age six, Michaels was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and has become a passionate supporter of research on diabetes and a spokesperson for the American Diabetes Association. In an interview with Digital Journal, Michaels said his “Life Rocks Foundation,” is a unique dollar-in, dollarout foundation that gives back to multiple causes including diabetes research, wounded soldiers and animals in need (pet shelters).

Resolve to give blood with the Red Cross

The American Red Cross encourages people to help meet the urgent need for blood and platelets by resolving to give blood in January, National Blood Donor Month. The critical role of blood and platelet donors has been celebrated each January for nearly 50 years during National Blood Donor Month, which coincides with one of the most challenging times to maintain a sufficient blood supply for patients. Busy holiday schedules, winter weather and seasonal illnesses often impact donor turnout this time of year. The Red Cross encourages eligible donors to resolve to give blood or

platelets regularly, beginning in January. All donors who give blood or platelets during National Blood Donor Month in January at Red Cross blood drives in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island will receive a $5 Dunkin’ Gift Card via email as a thank you for helping save lives during National Blood Donor Month. A valid email address must be on file at the time of donation. Make an appointment to donate blood or platelets by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling (800) 733-2767. Another way to help keep

the blood supply strong in the new year is to host a Red Cross blood drive. To learn more about hosting a blood drive and to sign up, visit RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive.

Letter From the Editor

It’s your paper, what do you want in it?

With the new year underway and the extended holiday season wrapped up, many of our schedules will be back to normal by now. The holiday season is typically a slow one for news, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be busy in the coming months. However, for us to provide you, our readers, with all the information you should know, sometimes we need a little help with gathering the details on what’s happening in the community. Through press releases sent to us and by surfing the internet, we can usually find some events, meetings or announcements from local groups and organizations that may not have been on our radar. Unfortunately, we can’t know about everything that’s going on, and believe it or not, some information just can’t be found on the internet

yet. Our goal at the Springville Times is to provide you with a large selection of local news, both reporting on what has happened in the past week as well as previewing what’s to come in the weeks ahead. Although we are based in Springville, our coverage area looks at communities throughout southern Erie County and northern Cattaraugus County, and our readers live and work in many of those communities. So if you’re a regular reader and know of an upcoming event or meeting where you live or work, please don’t hesitate to let us know about it. Even if it’s something we do know about, it’s reassuring to know more people out there want to see it printed in black and white. Stop in, shoot an email, give us a call, whatever you need to do.

65 E. Main St. in Springville

There’s a lot of other media influencing this story outside of DC, notably the “origin story” movies for Thor and Black Panther in Marvel. Add in some environmental preaching in the form of “Avatar” and England’s Arthurian Legend as a basic blueprint, “Aquaman” has little originality in its script. Up on the screen, however, the derivative, cliche-filled and often exposition-heavy story felt refreshing, especially for a DC movie. It was like what the kids in 1981 must have felt watching the “Super Friends.” A lot of that has to do with the 1980s aesthetic throughout. Movies have been milking that 30-year nostalgia cycle dry for a while now, but it’s usually through place setting or events specifically in the ‘80s. Here, it’s all about the way the story pays homage to the decade. Consider the other specific subgenres sprinkled in here. The globe-trotting adventure movie a la Indiana Jones, the actionpacked thrillers full of lame one-liners courtesy of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallon and of course the buddy comedies or romantic comedies of Tom Hanks. All are present without being directly referenced. However, all of that can be easily dismissed by moviegoers who are tired of ‘80s callbacks, and there’s not much substance left beside the borrowed plotlines from other stories. Because then you’re left with a long movie full of C and D plotlines that all end up intertwining in some way, primarily to set up the inevitable sequel a couple years from now. But other than a couple of “blink and you’ll miss it” mentions of the Justice League, there are no other DCEU references, which is surprisingly rare. Ever since Marvel did it, every series wants its own cinematic universe, and DC went heavy in on it the past few films. Here, Aquaman gets to stand alone. As is the case with so many films based on established properties and often buoyed by nostalgia, “Aquaman” is not for everyone, and for the same reasons. It’s silly ‘80s schmaltz, love it or hate it. It dives deep into cultural and historical references, love it or hate it. Thankfully, it also has fun doing what DC should have been doing for a while now: giving moviegoers a break from the real world with an adventure that’s bright, hopeful and cheesy as heck.

Use renovations to create healthier homes

Home renovation projects are done for several different reasons, whether to update styles, repair damaged or broken items or to achieve more living space. More than ever before, homeowners are choosing improvement projects geared toward making their homes healthier. Establishing a healthy home means different things to different people. For example, to an environmentalist, a healthy home may incorporate eco-friendly or green products. To those with young children or mobility-impaired seniors, a healthy home may be one free from potential hazards. Others may view a healthy home as one that alleviates allergies. The World Health Organizations says inadequate housing conditions, such as poor ventilation, radon, urban pollution, and moisture issues, can contribute to many preventable diseases and injuries — especially respiratory problems, nervous system disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Furthermore, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ranks indoor air quality as a top five environmental risk to public health. EPA studies have found that indoor air pollution levels were roughly two to five times greater than outdoor pollution levels. People interested in making their homes

healthier can embrace these renovations and lifestyle changes. • Be aware of furniture materials. Toxic PBDEs, which are chemicals used as flame retardants on furniture fabrics produced prior to 2006, can send toxins into the air. Some manufacturers may still use these flame retardants in new forms, but with similar risks. Before purchasing furniture, ask if a product is treated, and select naturally fire-resistant materials like

wool and cotton. • Lighten up. Lighting is often underappreciated but can have a dramatic impact on whether a home feels inviting, warm and/or uplifting. Experiment with different types of bulbs and lighting fixtures to turn drab and dreary environments into brighter places. Lighting may improve mood and productivity. • Let the sun shine in. Modify window

treatments to let more sunlight into the house. There is evidence that the sun, particularly UV light, is a potent bactericide. The Sunlight Institute advises that there’s no harm in letting natural sunlight do its work, as bacteria within eight feet of low-intensity UV light can be killed in 10 minutes. • Inspect and service wood-burning appliances. A study published in the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology has found regular inhalation of wood smoke limits immune activity and function, and anyone who burns wood indoors should be aware of these potential health risks. Ensuring proper ventilation of smoke and routinely cleaning the chimney can help cut down on particulate matter. • Turn to nontoxic cleaning products, pesticides and insecticides. Always opt for nontoxic, natural products when cleaning in and around the house. • Declutter the home. A cluttered, hectic space can affect emotions and mental state, never mind attracting dust and making a home harder to clean. Spending time in spaces that do not elicit stressful feelings is healthier and can help residents to rest and recharge. Making a home healthier can be on the list of this year’s renovation plans.

Complete these home improvements over the weekend

Home improvement projects ramp up when the weather warms up, as homeowners channel the rejuvenating feelings of spring and tackle their home to-do lists. Largescale renovations can greatly affect a home, but smaller projects can yield impressive results and be completed over the course of a single weekend.

If time is of the essence, these weekend or oneday projects may satisfy homeowners’ desires to fix up their homes. • Create an accent wall. Painting a focal wall in a home can create a serious impact. The bonus is it will not take as long or require as many materials as painting an entire room. Accent walls frequently

feature a bold color, so decide on placement and tackle this project in less than a day. • Install stair runners. Dress up hardwood stairs with decorative carpet runners. Runners come in elongated pieces of carpeting or individual pieces that can be placed on each step. If carpeting doesn’t fit with the home’s design, painting individual stair treads also can create visual appeal. • Dress up the entryway. An entryway is a guest’s first impression of a home.

with a little illumination. Better Homes & Gardens suggests replacing an existing fixture with something new and vibrant. If hanging a new fixture is not within one’s skill set, free-standing table or floor lamps also can cast a new glow on a space. • Add molding. Molding can add instant aesthetic appeal to a room. Molding is appropriate near the floor, at the top of walls where they meet the ceiling, or even midwall as a chair rail. Some homeowners like to create framed molding on walls in formal living spaces. • Update kitchen or Many entryways can use a Instantly improve a kitchen bathroom hardware. minor overhaul, both inside or a bathroom with new Replacing hardware is and outside.

Eden edges SGI girls hoops on poor free-throw shooting night

SGI ATHLETES OF THE WEEK Topher Elkins SGI AOW

The Springville-Griffith Institute varsity girls basketball team dropped a hard-fought game to Eden on Monday night, 42-32. Ivette Lewandowski scored a team-high 12 points and Grace Zabawa chipped in 11 points. Despite playing a strong defensive game to keep Eden in check, free-throw shooting helped snap the Lady Griffs’ seven-game

win streak as Springville shot 12-for-29. “Kelsey Zabawa was a beast on the glass as she rebounded extremely well on both ends of the floor,” coach Bob Gainey said. The SGI girls (8-2) hope to build on their effort on Thursday night, when they play host to the Alden Bulldogs. The girls are now 8-2 overall.

Springville 56, Cleveland Hill 24

Leading off with a scoring 13-0 run, Springville jumped on Cleveland Hill early and didn’t let up on Friday, Jan. 4. Kenz Owens buried two three-pointers and dished out three assists in the early 13-0 flurry. Cleve Hill chipped away at the lead to trail by just 10 at halftime, but SGI stormed out of the locker room behind finishes by Kelsey Zabawa and jump shots from Ivette Lewandowski. Owens led the team with 17 points, Lewandowski added 12 and Kelsey Zabawa scored 10. Grace

Zabawa, meanwhile, led the defense. “Time and time again she's been called upon to stop the opposing team’s best player and she never disappoints,” coach Bob Gainey said. “Bella Oakley was a force on the glass and defensively as she altered many shots in the paint. Nyah Solly came in and gave great minutes as did Rachel O'Neal. Both girls were tenacious on defense and were hustling all over the court.” Other scorers included Grace Zabawa (9), Meg Rehrauer (4) and Gracie Attebery (4).

SGI wins two straight in ECIC IV boys hoops

With a combined 55 points, Mason Goodridge and Adam Pruitt led the Springville-Griffith Institute boys basketball team to its second consecutive victory on Tuesday night. The Griffins defeated

Alden, 73-47, to improve to 2-3 (fourth of eight teams) in the ECIC Div. IV. Goodridge led the way with 31 points and Pruitt had 24. Next up, the Griffs visit Tonawanda on Friday night.

The Springville Boys Swimming and Diving team faced off against Cheektowaga on Friday, Jan. 4. Looking to start the new year off with a solid win after winning the division title at the end of last year, the boys did just that. Winning 11 out of 12 events, and earning a score of 71-31, the Griffins took

their overall record to 7-1 on the season. Leading the way for the Griffins were Jon Boberg and Zach Hughey, who each had two individual wins and contributed to two relay wins. Also putting up individual victories were Eric Schweickert, Wyatt Fuller, Austin Yetter and Garrett Casey.

Jaime Dickinson was 14th in the 600 (1:53.02) and Evelyn Smith 16th in the 300 (:47.30). Sydney Wittmer was 25th in the 55-meter dash (8.26).

the policy. The Wellness Committee is established to represent the local community's perspective in developing the Wellness Policy for the District.” Although this specific committee was established in August of 2017, a similar wellness event was held at the middle school years ago. The current committee is composed of teachers and staff, school nurses, administrators and community members. At the event, participants could take part in or learn more about fitness clubs, dance studios, yoga and Zumba studios, smoothie stations, healthy snack stations, local health care agencies and health education activities. A large event like this requires a lot of planning in order for it to run smoothly. Kathy Townsend, Principal for Special Programs in the district, is a member of the wellness committee. In regard to what is needed to plan an event like this from start to finish, she said, “Time, supplies, creative ideas and

community members to participate in the stations.” Before the event occurred, Townsend said she had a couple expectations in mind. First, “we really hope to see many of our district families attend the event,” she said, and second, “we would like to host different events each year.” The Wellness Wonderland was open to all district families. Everyone who attended the event was entered into a raffle and the winner was drawn at the end of the event. The Wellness Wonderland was expected to be a successful event overall and was a great way for families in the school district to kick off their New Year in a healthy fashion. The Wellness Committee wished everyone a happy and healthy new year and thanked those who attended and made the event successful. They look forward to future events with a similar goal in mind: to promote healthy lifestyles in the community.
