The Ladles to perform Saturday at SCA

By Alex Simmons This week, the musical trio The Ladles will bring a blend of swing, oldtime, folk, pop and choral music to the Springville Center for the Arts stage.

On Saturday, Jan. 18 at 7:30 p.m., The Ladles will perform various songs creating a “dreamy out worldly atmosphere that draws audiences in and demands attention,” according to the Springville Center for the Arts website.

The band formed in the winter of 2014 at the New England Conservatory of Music, “where Katie, Caroline and Lucia were students in the Contemporary Improvisation department,” the band said.

They “spent hours singing and singing together in the NEC dormitories which led

Concord Senior Center progress reported to town board

By Kellen M. Quigley Big things are happening at the Concord Senior Center, and its director hopes things keep going that way in the months to come.

During the reorganizational meeting of the Concord Town Board, senior center director Eleanor Eschborn updated the board on all that’s been happening in recent months, including the expansions and progress that has been made for seniors in the town and what she hopes to keep rolling in 2020.

“First of all, I wish to thank the town board and all the board members for all the help you’ve given the senior center last year,” she said. “The senior center has really grown.”

In 2019, Eschborn said the center served 5,003 lunches, compared to the roughly 1,200 served just a few years ago. She said this is partially due to increasing lunches to five days a week instead of only three.

In the fall, the center also began offering breakfasts on select days, but has since expanded to five days.

“It’s starting slow, but we’re having quite a few for breakfast now,” Eschborn said.

Also in the fall, Eschborn and the center have begun managing the scheduling and operation of the town’s senior van. With a few new policies in place, including having to be registered in order to utilize the service, she said things are in much better control.

“Since I have taken over, I’ve been having people riding together,” she said. “We’re doing the same amount or even more appointments, but doing less miles because people are riding together, so that should help the van.” Eschborn said the van’s gas is now coming from the town.

Additionally in 2019, the center and Eschborn assisted 247 seniors with social service work.

“That goes to show that we need something for a social worker in the area,” she said. “It’s really a hardship for a lot of the seniors to go to Buffalo. So far this year, I have 11 people already that come to me for social service work.”

Looking to the new year, two pilot programs with Erie County are See Town Board page 2

sign in Jordan Hall.

The members Katie Martucci (guitar, voice),

Lucia Pontoniere (fiddle, voice) and Caroline Kuhn (tenor banjo, voice), are joined on stage by Dan Klingsberg on upright bass and Dan Kleederman on electric guitar.

The band creates a beautiful three-part harmony. Their sound has been said to “quiets noisy bars and liven up staid concert halls,” the band said.

Within a year, The Ladles recorded their debut EP and “booked a six-week summer tour.”

In 2019, they released their first full length album called “The Line.”

A Look Back:

The Concept of Dating with Fans

By Jolene Hawkins

Looking back to the concept of dating, how has it evolved?

Throughout the Victorian era, (the 1830s to 1900), there was a strict set of rules and etiquette that governed all aspects of everyday life.

The day-to-day life of the average middle class or upper class was directed by rule after rule. It was during this

time period that a coded message became popular, but how was the coded message relayed? Why, though the lost art of fan language!

You seldom see a photograph or drawing of a lady who is dressed up during that time that does not have a fan in her hands or nearby. Some had ivory handles, with hand-embroidered or painted flowers on one side or bird on the other.

It was the perfect gift for a lady of good taste.

These fans became works of arts and here in Springville. There are ads

as early as 1846 where you could purchase a fan at Butterworth & Fox under the items for Ladies, fancy Gingham, lace and fancy silks, cravats, veils, shawls, gloves and delicate fans.

Spencer & Blake in 1848 advertised boxes of fans and laces to choose from.

In 1878, William H. Freeman store, at greatly reduced prices, had shawls, parasols, gloves, fans, hosiery and more.

Smith Brothers store carried them, as did N.K. Thomson’s store. Beebe & Myers advertised them in the 1880s.

Now they are made of feathers, usually composed of ostrich feathers, swan or peacock

feathers, gilt paper, hand painted, some were oval-shaped, some made of gauze or lace, silk fans as well. A few had semiprecious gems were in delicate colors of pink, cream, yellow and mauve.

They were described as having delicate handpainted fans, and the sticks or reed could be mother of pearl or onyx.

They could have had silver sticks covered with spangles and could be hung from the waist with style with slender silver linked chains. They often matched the dress or gown. By the 1920s, the ostrich feathers plume would be dyed to match the dress color.

And what of the coded message? Like nowadays, where you have LOL (laugh out loud) or TTYL (talk to you later), the movements of the fans had meanings too. I would need a cheat sheet to keep up with all of them. “Fan flirtation rules” were a way to cope with the restricting

social etiquette. You must have had to practice them just to remember them all, not to mention that the young fellows had to learn the language of fans.

Holding the fan in the left hand signified a “desired to get acquainted.” Resting the fan on the right cheek See A Look Back page 2

Demolition of the Main Plant Office Building complete at WVDP Workers recently demolished the former Main Plant Office Building located at EM’s West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) site. Waste disposition operations continue and are approximately 78 percent complete. This recent demolition brings EM’s total number of structures removed to 66.

The Main Plant Office Building was a threestory facility that was built in 1964 as part of the original commercial nuclear fuel reprocessing plant. It was constructed with a steel frame and masonry exterior. It measured approximately 94’ x 40’ x 47’ high or 3,760 sq. ft.

The Main Plant Office

Building housed many different departments over the years, which included operations and operations support personnel. This building also provided viewing access into the Chemical Process Cell inside the Main Plant Process Building.

“The WVDP Team’s work was wellplanned and executed in an effort to maintain safety and prevent any damage to the Main Plant Process Building, which is scheduled to be demolished in the near future,” said CH2M HILL BWXT West Valley (CHBWV) President Scott Anderson, EM’s WVDP prime contractor.

“Our team continues to

excellent job in their preplanning and execution of this challenging work,” WVDP Director Bryan Bower said. “This particular work evolution has certainly changed the landscape of the WVDP site. The Main Plant Office Building was one of the first buildings constructed on the site and its demolition is a reminder of the ongoing progress here.”

SGI high schoolers are glad to be SADD

By Elyana Schosek Student reporter In considering all the student clubs at Springville-Griffith Institute High School, there is one that has been around for a while but is lesser-known among students. It works toward a goal that is especially relevant in today’s society.

It’s called SADD, or Students Against Destructive Decisions.

Prior to 1997, the club was called Students Against Drunk Driving but was changed due to many student requests to broaden the focus to “destructive decisions” instead of just drunk driving.

Many students are unaware of what SADD stands for, which is something the club wishes they could change. Throughout the school year, SADD members and their advisors organize a number of events and projects to inform students of the possible consequences of destructive decisions.

Their most recent of which took place before the holidays.

“We work to promote good decision making applied especially drugand alcohol-related and how to stay safe at a young age and how to avoid peer pressure,” Evelyn Smith said.

Not only does SADD

do projects at the high school, but they have also traveled to the elementary school and helped out in the community.

“This was beneficial for everyone involved because it allowed us to help our community and it helped the people who received them to remember to make better decisions,” Henry Domst said.

SADD members met as a group the Wednesday before break to tape mints to little cards with a message “promoting safety over break,” as one student put it while also noting the “importance of staying sober and staying away from drugs and alcohol,”

as another student said.

The cards were counted and put in bags for each homeroom such that every student would receive one the Friday before break.

“I think that even just little gestures like this can make a difference in someone’s day,” Annemarie Harrigan said. “Whether you’re receiving or giving you’ll probably feel better.”

“This was definitely a good thing for both those who participated along with those who received the mints with the card because it helped raise awareness that we need to make healthy decisions in our life and we need to make sure we are staying safe and

being responsible,” Blaze Schelble noted.

Blaze also said that SADD helps students make “smart and healthy decisions by raising awareness of what things should be avoided and what things are smart.”

Olivia Giammarco said, “it is a place where we come together to be proactive and make a difference in the lives of others!”

Olivia called it a “good reminder” in that “you don’t have to have a huge movement in order to make a difference and that a simple reminder can make good choices or be safe can go a long way.”

Keaton Wnuk said it gave them an opportunity

to “give great advice to fellow students in a fun way.”

In addition to that, Evelyn said it was a good message for students to receive and that it was beneficial for the club members who were there because of the fact that the limited time they spend together is always meaningful.

This just goes to show that the littlest thing can make a difference: the cards had a good message for all students and the SADD members who helped out enjoyed the little bit of time they spend together.

would have a year to raise the additional $250,000. After that, there would be another year for the design and build process.

“You don’t need plans yet,” she explained.

“They want to see that there’s support and engagement and that we’re understanding what the needs are of the community.”

Duwe said when asking community members, the primary uses mentioned would be for skateboarding and BMX biking. She said

while the current set-up is fine, they are looking for something that can be more multi-use.

“We have a real opportunity in that park space to think about it being more built-in to the landscape and what other aspects we can design that would integrate it into the park and make it used by ages all across the spectrum and make it feel like something everyone can use and be around,” she said.

also being run at the center in 2020. Eschborn said AARP is now offering free tax service to seniors at the center began Jan. 30 and going for 10 weeks. A new Scene Book Club is also happening at the center now.

There is also a new way to honor the local veterans at the center.

Eschborn said there are two designated parking spaces at the center for veterans with signs reading, “Thank you for your service.”

A new computer

station is also set up at the center for any senior looking for a way to get on the internet, but Eschborn said they are looking for old computers looking for a new home.

“I don’t care about the programs on it,” she said.

“As long as it can surf the web, we will take it.”

A new program, The Shining Star, will honor a different senior every month with a little gift from the various clubs at the center. At the end of the year, Eschborn said there will be a final event

at the end of the year for whoever was honored to have a chance at a grand prize.

“Please stop down to the center any time you get a chance,” she added.

IN OTHER BUSINESS, Springville resident Allison Duwe addressed the town board concerning the proposed project for a new skatepark at Heritage Park in the village.

The town approved a resolution in support of having a “permanent, free, accessible concrete

skatepark.”

Duwe said a group of volunteers are putting in an application to the Tony Hawk Foundation and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation for a $250,000 grant to install a permanent in-ground skatepark.

“I think it’s a really great opportunity for the broader community and for recreation for youths and families,” she said.

According to Duwe, the grant would require matching funds. She said if the project is awarded the grant, the community

meant “yes” and left meant “no.” Twirling the fan in the left hand meant “I wish to be rid of you,” and if in the right hand, meant “I love another.”

A fan held on the left ear signified “you have changed.”

Pulling the fan across the forehead meant “we are watched,” and across the eyes meant “I am sorry.” A wideopen fan meant “wait for me.” Dropping the fan would mean “we could be friends,” but for me, it would mean butterfingers. Fanning fast meant you were married. Placing the handle of the fan to the lips meant “kiss me.”

Placing the fan near your heart, could also represent I love you.

In an age where we can freely communicate how we feel on many different platforms, like the cell phone,

Facebook, Twitter, letters and or cards, and heck even face-toface, the paradigms of the Victorian etiquette are somewhat obscure to our 21st-century social norms. We may think that fan language is quaint, but how fun to see that they had their own language of communicating with each other.

The concept of dating did not really start until the beginning of the 20th century. Early courtship was a private, unemotional affair.

Women would meet with several men, with her parents present, to whittle down to the most suitable match for marriage, which heavily relied on factors such as financial and social status. The couple would meet in the household, or at a social gathering.

There was no such thing

as just young lovers going out on a date.

SGI students take to the pool in cardboard boats

By Elyana Schosek Student reporter Technology classes in high school aren’t the same as they used to be.

Most people think of tech classes in school as woodworking and basic measuring skills.

But today, many of these classes revolve around technology and the application of technology to building different objects.

This is somewhat true for one of the biggest projects done in Mr. Shelley’s Tech I class.

In the weeks leading up to the break for the holidays, the students are presented with a unique and interesting assignment. They are to create a boat with very limited supplies which include: cardboard, zip ties, duct tape and some plastic.

The Friday before break begins is the designated day for the big race. Participants are always putting finishing touches and modifications on their boats before they go in the water. The teams are matched up for the competition which involves being able

Photo by Alex Simmons Two students make their way across the Springville-Griffith Institute pool during the annual cardboard boat races.

to effectively paddle themselves and their boat to the opposite end of the pool and back.

Shelley has done this every year for quite a while as it is something that all the students enjoy whether they be participants or spectators.

It’s entertaining for students as well as staff.

Each team consisted of two people. Most teams are composed of students but there are usually two teams of staff members including the High School Principal Mr.

Bialasik whose boats are designed and constructed by students.

“It was also great to see how many students wanted to attend the event to cheer on their classmates,” he once said.

Bialasik has been the principal at SGI High School since July 2016.

Shelley was hired shortly after and started the boat races the following winter. Bialasik mentioned that he has participated in each one since then. For those of us who have had the boat

races since we started high school, it seems sort of like a tradition even though it hasn’t been going on that long.

“The best part for me has been seeing how the event has grown both in terms of participation and in terms of ingenuity,” Bialasik noted.

Of course, there must be guidelines as with any competition: the boat is supposed to be about eight feet long and four feet wide.

Another important aspect of the competition is the creation of paddles

which is often left to the last few days, being the biggest regret of the competitors.

Shelley announces each race while balancing on a paddleboard in the middle of the pool from which he also decides on grades for each group based on performance and other factors.

Not all the students who participate are in the Tech I class, some are just students who frequent the technology rooms and decided they wanted to try it out. Shelley is always

welcoming to more competition.

Henry Domst and his partner started their boat about two weeks before the competition, a week after the others. He said they “chose to wing it” but ended up doing very well and receiving second place overall.

When he was asked about their strategies in the pool, he said the most important aspects were balance and communication.

“Other than that, paddle as fast as you could,” Henry added. In regard to the construction, they focused on “maintaining stability with a smaller boat.”

As a senior, Henry also stated: “Overall, it was a great experience, I will always have the memories made with teachers and students.”

The whole event is just a great experience for all whether they be competitors or spectators, students or staff. For those who participate in the races, it is largely a learning process. For those who sit in the stands and watch, it’s just a fun last-day-beforebreak activity.

Criminal Justice students complete Field Sobriety Training in Ellicottville

By Deb Everts Junior students in the Criminal Justice class at Ellicottville Career and Technical Education (CTE) Center recently completed a unit in Field Sobriety Training in preparation for a career in law enforcement.

After spending about five weeks on the DWIField Sobriety unit that includes classroom theory and performance practice in preparation for officer patrol, their lesson plan culminated on Jan. 9. Utilizing an actual patrol car on loan from the Town of Cuba, the students performed a simulated driving while intoxicated (DWI) Field Sobriety Check and a Felony Stop.

Instructor Tim Emley said the students learn about Blood Alcohol Content (BAC), identifying a driver under the Influence, absorption of alcohol, making the stop, approaching the suspect vehicle, probable cause and officer safety, among many other aspects regarding law enforcement.

Emley has taught at the career tech center for 20 years. When he’s not teaching Criminal Justice, he’s working at his part-time job as an officer for the Town of Cuba Police Department.

As a working police officer, he knows how to teach his students the proper procedures of enforcing the law.

“They practice for the

Air Force after high school graduation and, afterward, become an investigator, possibly with the FBI. She chose the Criminal Justice course at the tech center and an initial career in the military because her father is in the United States Navy.

“I like the handson activities and the running in the Criminal Justice class. All of my friends are here, too,” she said. “I’ve always wanted a career in law enforcement. I find it interesting and I didn’t want a boring job.”

Green said his father’s dream to become a cop initially inspired him to follow the same career path and drew him to the Criminal Justice course. He wants to

“There’s also a flashlight hooked to the belt, along with handcuffs and keys in their proper compartments.”

Students Kaylee Davidson and Nick Green, both of Pioneer Central School, were in the midst of taking their Field Sobriety exams when the Press visited their class. Using student volunteers from another class, the mock suspects wear fatal vision goggles that simulate being intoxicated. Both Davidson and Green received perfect scores.

Davidson said her future plans include joining the United States

make a difference and be involved in making the world a little bit better.

“He never got to do it. I was thinking, ‘if he can’t do it, I can do it,’” he said. “I’m going to get his dream now.”

The Meggitt Training System is Green’s favorite class activity.

The machine is a firearms training simulator (FATS) designed for both military and law enforcement personnel.

His future plans include attending college, then going into either a local police department or serving as a state police officer.

The class also undergoes rigorous physical training. So far, this year’s junior class has passed the 75mile mark in running.

As with all his classes, when they reach the 100-mile mark, Emley marks the occasion with a photograph for their portfolios.

Emley said he runs the program “paramilitarystyle” and his students are required to be in uniform every day. When they are not in shirts and ties, they must be in their running gear — a formal sweatshirt with their name and CTE embroidered on it, along with black shorts and running shoes … and they run.

“We run twice a week, every week, on Tuesdays and Fridays,” he said. “We do this rain or shine, whether it’s sunny and 75 degrees or a wind chill factor of below zero. It’s part of

their character building and prepares them for real-life situations where they have to endure the elements.”

The students get a professional portfolio and can earn college credits. Emley said the career tech center has articulation agreements with nearly every college in Western New York.

If a student carries an 85 average for the two years, they can articulate six to nine credit hours at these local colleges.

This year’s juniors include Micaiah Lenahan, Catt-LV; Brayden Sentz, CattLV; Alyssea Hardy, Salamanca; Kaylee Davidson, Pioneer; Linsey Newland, Pioneer; Mikhayla Barber, Randolph; Joe Quigly, Catt-LV; Justin Imhoff, Ellicottville; Talon Lake, Pioneer; Nickolas Green, Pioneer; Bryan Briggs, Randolph; Jasper Rak, Pioneer; and Chase Williams, Pioneer.

In addition to his teaching position at Ellicottville’s CTE and his part-time job with the Town of Cuba Police Department, Emley also serves as Portville’s town supervisor and operates a small wrestling club in Olean.

The Criminal Justice program is offered at all three Career Technical and Education Centers located in Ellicottville, Olean and Belmont. To find out more, call 3768300 or visit online at caboces.org.

WINTER WINTER Safety a vital component of DIY projects • Always wear eye protection and the right safety equipment when manufacturers recommend doing so.

Gloves, sturdy work boots, hearing protection, and hard hats can protect DIYers from injury.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and in good condition to reduce kick back and potential injuries.

• Regularly inspect tools

Many homeowners enjoy DIY projects around the house. Weekend warriors should recognize that having the right tools and using them in a correct manner is essential to successful, safe projects.

Tools are vital for projects, but without proper understanding and usage, they can cause grave injuries. Studies published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Consumer Product Safety Commission found that certain tools are more likely to cause injuries than others.

Power nailers, for example, are among the most dangerous tools DIYers can use. Chain saws, table saws, circular saws, and riding mowers are some additional tools that have very high injury rates.

The following are some

safety guidelines all DIYers should heed when using power tools.

• Use tools that are the right size and right type for the job. If you are uncertain about which tools to use, watch online tutorials, contact tool manufacturers or seek advice at home supply stores.

to make sure they are in working order.

• Never carry tools up a ladder by hand; use a bucket or bag to hoist tools.

Francois Duhamel / Universal Pictures George McKay (left) and Dean-Charles Chapman appear in a scene from Sam Mendes’s World War I epic “1917.”

Personal story meets epic scale in WWI spectacle ‘1917’

By Kellen M. Quigley

The year 2019 was one of “they don’t make movies like that anymore.” Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” Gerwig’s “Little Women” and Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” are period pieces that look as if they were made decades before now, and yet still feel timeless.

You can add “1917,” a World War I epic cowritten and directed by Sam Mendes, to that list.

Nearly the entire movie is following these two every-man soldiers as they walk and talk from their camp to the front lines, a simple enough plot summary that will become one of the most tension-filled and horrific walks of their lives.

Many things about this war film can feel like those from a dozen years ago or 60 years ago, but there is one major decision that sets this production apart from every other: it was filmed to look like the whole thing is one continuous shot, and it is stunning.

If “1917” had been filmed with traditional cuts and shot set-ups, it would still be a really good film. But designing it to look like the camera — and the audience — never looks away is what pushes it over the top, elevating all the themes and storytelling aspects behind it, making it one of the great war epics of the 21 century.

Two young British soldiers — lance corporals Schofield (played by George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) — receive orders from General Erinmore (Colin Firth) to make their way across boobytrapped, corpse-strewn terrain in France to hand-deliver a message to Col. Mackenzie (Benedict Cumberbatch), commander of the Second Battalion.

The message contains orders to call off a planned advance against the German army, falsely assumed to be on the ropes. Turns out it’s a trap that could result in the slaughter of more than 1,600 British soldiers, including Blake’s brother.

With communications down, the only hope rests with two boys barely out of high school.

Mendes and cinematographer Roger Deakins are walking a fine line of a tightrope during the entire twohour runtime, having to perfectly balance the

pacing of the story while also making audiences forget their watching a one-shot film which, after about 20 minutes, does begin to happen.

Of course, the brilliance of the film is you can’t just cut away.

For the entire time, the camera and audience are either right in front of or right behind our two heroes, rarely ever more than 10 feet away from them. Each individual audience member is the third soldier on this likely suicidal mission and you are trapped there with them.

That’s when the horrors of war, and the brutality of the First World War in particular, are on full display, earning this movie its R rating. As Schofield and Blake make their way across No Man’s Land to the German trenches, more and more mutilated and decaying bodies are in their way, forcing them and us to crawl around and sometimes over corpse after corpse. And just as millions of soldiers had to, we can’t escape because the camera will not cut away.

The only true fault this film has is not a particularly great screenplay. Yes, it does still move the plot along from A to Z and has several very good character scenes, but nothing about it stands out as particularly unique or special. However, that’s okay with me, because this is one of those rare occasions where a great story and characters come from the filmmaking itself, not the script.

I am reminded of arguably the two greatest World War I movies, “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Paths of Glory,” which had much better screenplays, but also had several scenes of long takes on the battlefield where you couldn’t escape the carnage of war, even though they and this film have very few actual battle scenes, which I think makes it all the more stressful.

On Monday, the nominations for the 92nd Academy Awards were announced, and “1917” nabbed a well-deserved 10 nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director for Mendes and Best Cinematography for Deakins, and the latter two awards I feel will have their names on them come Feb. 9. But before then, see this film on the biggest screen you can.

Sheriff cautions BCH Pre-Diabetes, Erie County residents about Weight Loss program area waterways, trails

Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard issues warning about area waterways and gorges.

The Erie County Sheriff’s Office is urging everyone to avoid kayaking, canoeing and other water activities in the area’s creeks and rivers. With the amount of rain predicted to fall throughout the area, water levels are expected to rise rapidly creating dangerous and even deadly conditions.

Water levels in Cattaraugus Creek, especially within the Zoar Valley stretch, can experience reach as high as 6 feet above normal. The depth of the water, combined

with the volume, will create treacherous conditions that will not allow for rapid rescue responses.

In addition to the increased water levels, the water temperature will remain dangerously cold hastening hypothermia once someone gets wet.

Further, individuals are asked to stay away from valley edges and cliff rims.

The heavy rains, coupled with the thawing ground, will soften and loosen the soil increasing the likelihood of collapse and ground slides.
