Empire State Winter Games torch relay travels through Springville area

By Kellen M. Quigley

On its way to Lake Placid for the opening ceremony to the annual Empire State Winter Games (ESWG), the ceremonial torch began its severalhundred-mile journey earlier this week in Western New York. Heading out from Holiday Valley in Ellicottville on Sunday, Jan. 27, the torch passed through Springville Monday on its route to Kissing Bridge before heading up to the Buffalo area. At about 4 p.m., Ryan Grady, Torch Relay Director for the ESWG, ran the ceremonial game torch up to skiers at Kissing Bridge who then took it on the ride of its life down one of the slopes. The torch was handed off to Jack Schleyer, of Springville, who was accompanied by several of his fellow skiers in the Kissing Bridge Alpine Club. Six Alpine Club members will be at the Empire State Winter Games this weekend, one of whom current ranks #1. Earlier in the day, the torch arrived at the Gowanda Elementary School after visiting the Jamestown area. A group of elementary students ran the torch from the school district's bus garage on Panther Drive. From there, students representing the Gowanda Middle School carried the torch up Panther Drive and on to Prospect Street. With a stop at the front circle of the high school, the torch was passed to student representatives of the high school for the ﬁnal leg of Gowanda’s part of the

everyone in attendance was served hot chocolate and coffee by bank employees. The ﬁnal Community Bank stop also provided a photo opportunity for friends,

family and Empire State Winter Games ofﬁcials. Accompanying the torch through the relay was an ESWG representative, faculty representatives from the school group running that leg and escort by both state and local police departments. The torch began its journey at Holiday Valley Sunday, Jan. 27, when snowboarder Grace Dalton had the honor of taking the torch from Grady before carving down one of the slopes with torch in hand as the kick off to the relay. The Empire State Winter Games is a multi-day sports event that is used to bring together winter sports athletes from across New York state and beyond. For 39 years the Empire State Winter Games have offered a platform for more than 2,100 athletes of all ages to compete in over 30 winter sports events. Some events include alpine, luge,

Springville, Concord ofﬁcials respond to AIM funding cuts By Kellen M. Quigley Many municipalities across the state could lose thousands in aid under the proposed state budget. Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this month released his executive budget proposal, which eliminates funding from the Aid and Incentives to Municipalities program (AIM) for towns and villages where the funding accounts for less than 2 percent of the municipal budget. Cities like Buffalo and Tonawanda — which receive far more aid than other municipalities — would be unaffected, according to the released ﬁgures, but would remain at roughly the same level seen since 2011. For local towns and villages like Concord and Springville, it’s a different story. “That makes no sense to me,” said Springville Mayor Williams Krebs. “It seems to me the communities with the least AIM funding should maybe get more, especially rural villages.” Krebs said this funding has been in the state budget for decades, and recently municipalities have been receiving the same amount each year. Springville received about $36,000 in past years, he said.

“Every year, villages would like to see that increased and it hasn’t been,” he added. The proposed cuts would eliminate funding for 24 of 25 towns in Erie County and 13 of the 15 villages. Only the town of Alden and the villages of Kenmore and Sloan are unaffected by the proposed cuts, as well as the cities in the county. For the town of Concord, Supervisor Clyde Drake said they would lose about $48,000 in funding. “It’s a sad state of affairs, but it’s something that crosses both sides of the aisle,” he said. “It’s a solid voice going back to Albany.” Drake said the money goes into the town’s general fund but can be used in many different departments — “you’re talking a lot of town services in the general fund,” he said — as well as the salaries for town ofﬁcials, legal or engineering fees, public safety and even dog control. “It goes on and on,” he said. “It even goes to mowing the cemeteries.” Rural municpalities like Springville also offers services to residents beyond only those in the village, Krebs said. Departments such as public safety — ﬁre, police, code enforcement — and street services are partially done with the village’s general fund.

“It’s used in our general fund, so that’s a hit to our general fund,” he said. “That’s $36,000 we don’t have in revenue, and when we go into budget you’ll see how that affects it.”

Krebs said the blow that lack of funding does to village services negatively impacts all the residents unfairly. See Funding page 2

Andrew Collins Trio to perform at SCA Feb. 8

Coming to the Springville Center for the Arts on Feb. 8, the Andrew Collins Trio will bring music to our ears at 7:30 p.m. The band, based in Toronto, has toured around Canada and the United States, as well as “Germany, Czech Republic, Israel, Australia and more.” You may already know Andrew Collins from his work with the Foggy Hogtown Boys, Creaking Tree String Quartet or even just as a member of the Trio. Collins plays many instruments, including mandolin, ﬁddle, guitar, mandola and mandocello. In the band, Collins is joined by Mike Mezzatesta, who plays guitar, mandolin, ﬁddle, mandola, which he met 10 years ago.” “He actually approached me at one of my shows for a lesson,” Collins explained. “Well we got together and it was obvious that he didn't need lessons. Instead, we just jammed and became friends.” Collins is also joined by James McEleney, who plays bass and mandocello. Around that time, I was producing/ recording an album for a band called the Unseen Strangers,” he explained. “This was my second production for them and they had a new bass player, James McEleney, whose vibe, bass chops and singing, blew me away.” As a courtesy, Collins said he checked to make sure that the band leader, Adam Shier, wouldn't mind if he asked McEleney to play with him. “He responded, ‘Not if you don't mind if I ask Mike to play with me.’ So we did a little band sharing and the rest is history,” Collins said. The group became good friends over

the years. Before the creation of the band, Collins was putting out “a few original instrumental albums, which were deﬁnitely in the bluegrass branches

category.” The Trio mix their multiple combinations of instruments with their smooth vocals to create something

beautiful. A lot of fun is shared on stage, along with improvising with their multiple different instruments. The band reinvents classic hits you may have heard of like Graham Nash’s “King Midas In Reverse” in their album “Tongue,” which is an 11 track celebration of these songs. “It’s all my material, so while I’m technically the band leader, they are super wonderful players with great ideas that we love to bounce off each other,” Collins said. The band members use their vocals and create a new sound to folk music. The band also has an album called “Groove,” which features the popular song by Pink Floyd “Goodbye Blue Sky” and others you may have heard of. The band has won seven Canadian Folk Music Awards and earned ﬁve JUNO nominations for their double disc “Tongue & Groove.” The album is available on andrewcollinstrio.com/music plus the usual sites like iTunes, Collins said. When asked what his favorite songs were from both albums, Collins said, “It’s really hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I’d say from Tongue, it would be ‘Cello Song’ and from Groove, ‘Famous Last Words.’ They’re both the ﬁrst track on each album, so I guess you can say I like to start with a bang.” The band has produced four albums in total now and are excited for the road ahead. A performance by the Andrew Collins Trio will be held at Springville Center for the Arts on Friday, Feb. 8 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door or $12 at presale price. Tickets can be purchased at www.springvillearts.org.

FUNDING

ALTHOUGH THE village still has some time before a budget must be passed, towns like Concord had to pass their budget for 2019 in December. “The town last fall, based on projects that the AIM fuding was going to there, based their budget,” Drake said. “We’re caught in a shortfall situation. The tax rate assumes that $48,251 is there.” After decades of remaining under the tax cap, Concord had to go above the tax cap for this year’s budget due partially to a depleted general fund. If the $48,000 doesn’t come to the town, that fund balance could be hurt even

more. “They can’t have it both ways, having this tax cap on there and then do their own cutting,” Drake added. He said $48,000 would be equal to about a 1 percent tax increase. Krebs said the statewide savings in cutting AIM funding was about $16.4 million across the state. However, the entire state budget is about $175 billion. “So by doing this, the governor saved 1/100th of 1 percent of the state budget,” Krebs said. “But cutting AIM funding from our general fund is 1 percent. It means a lot more to us than it does to the whole state

budget.” Drake agreed, saying, “The little bit that (Cuomo) is gaining is hurting an awful lot of people here.” In addition to emergency and street services, Krebs said all the improvements the village makes through assistance of grants are partially covered by the general fund. He said they can only go after new grants if the village has matching funds available, which AIM funding partially supplies. “If we don’t have a longterm ﬁnancial plan that allows us to do that, we will never be able to remain competative as a community,” he said. “It makes no sense to punish

the residents of Springville in this way.” Until the state budget is ﬁnalized, Krebs and Drake said they’re hoping to change the governor’s and local senators and assemblymen’s minds and restore the funding to what it was. At its most recent board meeting, the village of Springville passed a resolution asking state representatives expressing the municipality’s need for AIM funding. “I’m asking the village board to give them a reason to,” Krebs added. Drake said he reached out to Assemblyman DiPietro and Senator Gallivan,

By Caitlin Croft The second weekend of U14 Excelsior Cup racing was a bit closer to home for most athletes. There were two Slaloms, one held at Kissing Bridge in

Glenwood and the other held at Buffalo Ski Club. Mother Nature made for some interesting conditions both days. There was plenty of snow, which meant a soft track and made it very easy for ruts to form.

Day One Kissing Bridge: Women: Emily Kloc of Buffalo Ski Club took 6th and Lillian Rauch (BSC) finished 15th. Men: Kissing Bridge’s Garrett Goetz took home the gold medal. Drew Foley (KB) finished 15th and Kellen Gradwell placed (BSC) 27th.

Fourth- and ﬁfth-graders to present ‘Kid Flix’ musical

By Elyana Schosek Student Reporter

All are welcome to attend a musical presented by 62 Springville Elementary fourth and ﬁfth graders titled “Kid Flix” on Thursday, Feb. 7. Under the direction of their music teacher, Donna Benstead, the students have been preparing since Oct. 11. “I knew the students would really enjoy learning the songs and choreography to bring the music to life!” she said. They began with onehour-long rehearsals each week, Benstead said. In December, they focused on soloists and speakers, and during January, they increased rehearsals to 2 to 3 times a week and recently began meeting for 90 minutes. “The cast and crew work incredibly well together. It feels like a family,” she said. “I’m so proud of their teamwork! They have great attitudes and an excellent work ethic.” In regard to the uniqueness of this year’s production, Benstead mentioned that this is one of the largest casts that she has ever worked with as well as the music is from popular movies that “everyone knows and loves. Some of these include “Try Anything” from “Zootopia,” “Spirit of the Season” from “Polar

Express,” “If I Didn’t Have You” from “Monsters Inc.,” Theme from “Spider-Man”, “We Know the Way” from “Moana” and “Better When I’m Dancing” from “The Peanuts Movie.” “The highlight has been working with all of these students and seeing how far they have come,” Benstead said. “They have worked so hard and learned the music so well; sometimes, I get a little teary-eyed with pride!” She also mentioned her “phenomenal team” which includes Mrs. Shawnda Swanson, codirector and costume chairperson; Mrs. Arianne Johnson, choreographer; and Mr. Brian Thompson, supervision and advisor. “One of the challenges has been coming up with the vision to take this show from good to fantastic,” Benstead said. She also included the importance of coordination with her team in regard to costuming and choreography. “It’s also timeconsuming to keep on top of notices home and staying in touch with the bus garage,” Benstead added. “The transportation department has been such a huge help to us!” In addition to that, the instructors are thankful to the parents and their willingness to pick up the students now that they are onto longer rehearsals. Everyone should come

and see the show because it’s fun, “the music is beautiful and these kids are amazing!” Benstead said. “They are multitalented and this is a show we are very proud of and we would love to share it with as many people as possible!” She said being in the musical is a good program for the kids to be involved with because it teaches them critical skills like teamwork and responsibility. “This is so important,

especially to students who are struggling at home or in school — to be successful at something like the musical can really bring a lift to their days,” she said. “Plus it’s just a lot of fun for everyone, not just the kids — us adults are having a blast!” The directors would like to thank the Board of Education for supporting arts education within the schools, the SES PTA for ﬁnancial assistance, Mrs. Rebecca Szpaicher for help with scenery and backdrop and the parents for the support of the musical. “It has been the best year ever!” Benstead said.

How to plan the perfect wedding - Part I

By Kellen M. Quigley With Valentine’s Day as one of the most popular holidays of the year, there’s no doubt February is the month of love. After several years of courtship, and several cold Februaries snuggled close, many couples will be tying the knot this year. But there’s plenty of planning to do before the big day. In recent years, the most popular months to get married have been in the fall when the weather is cooler and the trees are full of color.

So while those “savethe-date” cards may not be going out immediately, February could be the perfect time to begin planning. Step One: Developing a budget and set the date Before you book the caterer, venue or hotel for your guests, you and your partner need to ﬁgure out when the wedding will be and how much you can spend. Sit down together and look at your income, savings (if you have any) and expenses. You’ll want to set the date as early as

possible so you know what funds you’ll need and by when. Next, see if your families can contribute anything, determine how many people you want to invite and set some spending priorities with your partner. You don’t want to overspend and go into debt before even having your dress or tux ﬁtted. Research typical wedding expenses and look for ways to cut costs. If your cousin got married near you a couple years ago, see which ﬂorist they used and ask if they do recommendation discounts. Once you’ve set a date and squared away your budget, create a planning timeline. You can make the next few months feel a little more manageable by putting together an organizational process. Step Two: Assembling your wedding party and guest list With your plan in place, at the top of the to-dos should be reaching out to

‘Chicks with Hits’ tour coming to casino Feb. 9

Three of country music’s biggest female stars are bringing their “Chicks With Hits” tour to the Seneca Allegany Events Center Saturday, Feb. 9, at 7 p.m. Country greats Terri Clark, Pam Tillis and Suzy Bogguss will be on stage together performing their fans’ favorite hit songs from their legendary careers with acoustic guitars, a little bit of percussion and some bass. Set on a small stage, the uniquely intimate show will be an evening full of harmony and humor. With 36 Top 10 singles between them, there’s a lot of material to pull from. Over the span of their careers, the trio has won countless Country Music Awards and Grammy Awards. Between them, they have sold over 10 million records around the world. All are members of the Grand Ole Opry. Clark is known for singles such as “Better Things To Do,” “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me” and “I Just Wanna Be Mad.” Among Tillis’ hits are “Maybe It Was Memphis,” “Mi Vida Loca,” “Spilled Perfume,” “Don’t Tell Me What To Do” and “Let That Pony Run.” Bogguss’ hits include “Outbound Plane,” “Someday Soon,” “Letting Go,” “Hey Cinderella” and “Drive South.” The Press recently had the opportunity to talk with Clark and Tillis about their music and the tour they are bringing to the Seneca Allegany Events Center. According to Clark, it was her idea to put this tour together, thinking about the concept about ﬁve years ago. She knew she wanted to put a package together that would feature females with hits and they would give their audiences 90 minutes to two hours of hit after hit after hit. Clark said it had to be somebody who had the hits, as well as somebody who could play instruments and sing harmony. She had Pam and Suzy in mind but, at the same time, she and her agent had to start with a list, which they narrowed down to Pam and Suzy. “You can have an idea, but if you don’t have some team members or partners to make it happen, it stays just an idea,” she said. “Pam and Suzy are both great harmony singers and they were on board with this idea right away when I suggested it. “The other factor is, when you’re on a bus with two other artists, there’s no room for divas and crazy on that ride,” Clark continued. “You gotta choose good people that you’re going to get along with, and we sure do.” Clark said Suzy and Pam were acquaintances of hers when the tour was being put together, but when they started rehearsing for this tour that kicked off in October 2017, they really got to know each other. “We went over to Suzy’s house and had

Ole Opry] like an honor and I’m sure somebody’s going to come along and change that, at some point. For now, I will wear the badge and represent it as well as I can,” she said.

dinner, then we sat down and rehearsed with our guitars in a very casual manner,” she said. “The minute we started singing together, it sounded like family harmony — right ‘off the bat.’ We all found our parts and it just seemed like such a natural thing.” TILLIS SAID CLARK and Bogguss are funny, warm and generous people. There are no big egos. It’s just easy with them and she really loves that. “It’s not that there isn’t work involved, but it’s easy work and it’s fun work. We’re on a team together,” she said. “We blend in harmony so well, which was such a great surprise because we didn’t know. Sometimes you get the concept for a tour before you actually know if it’s going to work.” Clark said when she moved to Nashville, in 1987, she was selling western wear at retail shops and also waiting tables and bartending. She was a huge Pam Tillis and Suzy Bogguss fan and they were both all over the radio having hits, in the early ‘90s. “I was aspiring to be like them, so getting to sit onstage with them every night and singing the songs I cut my teeth on when I ﬁrst went to Nashville is an honor for me and it’s pretty special,” she said. According to Clark, most of her uptempo hits are more fun and are female

empowering songs. She said a lot of her favorites are songs that were never singles, but were just album cuts. “Probably ‘Poor, Poor Pitiful Me,’ ‘Better Things to Do’ or ‘Girls Lie Too’ are my most popular songs,” she said. “Judging from the crowd’s reaction when we are on stage, I would say Pam’s biggest hit is still ‘Maybe It Was Memphis and Suzy’s ‘Drive South’ is a big one for her.” Tillis said she knew she was a fan of Clark and Bogguss and she has become interested in what they do as artists. She said they both have more depth to them as artists than what people might know. “We’ve all kept going with our music and keep reaching. There’s more to us than our 90s hits,” she said. “That’s one thing — it was easy to ﬁll the show out with our hits.” Out of all her songs, Clark said she likes “No Fear” from one of her earlier albums, Fearless. She said although it wasn’t a big hit, there are a lot of songs on it that have a lot of depth and meaning. Clark said her most recent album, “Raising the Bar” — released in September 2018 — has 13 tracks. She said she worked on it for a few years and she’s very proud of it. Born in Montreal, Clark now resides in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. She is currently the only Canadian female member of the Grand Ole Opry. “I look at [membership in the Grand

ACCORDING TO Tillis, she has a lot of admiration for both Clark and Bogguss. She said they are consummate professionals and they never “phone it in.” They care about every show and really have fun taking it seriously. “For one thing, we feel like the 90s was such a nostalgic time for people in country music, and a lot of people say ‘that’s the soundtrack of my life,’ so we take that to heart,” she said. Born in Plant City, Florida, Tillis was raised in Nashville where she now resides. The musical success of her famous father, the legendary Mel Tillis, definitely influenced her in wanting to be in the music industry. “Growing up around it and falling in love with music felt like a part of me,” she said. “It was inspiring to grow up around so many incredible people. Of course, with my dad at the top of my list, it was very inspiring.” Of all her songs, she said her signature song, “Maybe It Was Memphis,” has stood the test of time but, she said, a lot of them have really held up and people still want to hear “Let That Pony Run,” “Cleopatra Queen of Denial,” “Shake the Sugar Tree” and others. Tillis said she does about 70 shows a year but, with the girls on the “Chicks with Hits” tour, at least a dozen. “Everybody feels like time is moving so fast and, with music, certain songs can take you back to a certain time. It’s kind of nice to feel you can slow time down,” she said of the tour. According to the Grand Ole Opry, Suzy Bogguss was born in Aledo, Ill. and grew up in a farming family that loved music. While she was earning a degree from Illinois State University, she sang in clubs and coffee houses to earn extra money. Three Top 10 hits came out of her 1991 album, Aces, a platinum-selling record that made Bogguss one of the fastest rising stars of the early 90s. Her latest album, Aces Redux, is a re-recording of Aces. In an announcement for the 2017 launch of the “Chick with Hits” tour, Bogguss said, “All three of us have kept sight of the things that made us love making music in the first place — the love of singing and the desire to make people feel something with the songs. And we’re hams! Anybody could tell that we love what we do. We are going to have big fun and those we have the opportunity to share it with will too.” For more information about each individual country singer, visit their websites at terriclark.com, pamtillis.com and suzybogguss.com.

New York Farm Bureau sets 2019 legislative goals

New York State Farm Bureau President David Fisher outlined the agriculture lobby group’s legislative goals for 2019 in a media call last week. Income for state farms was $5 billion for 2017 — the latest year for which there is complete data — and is still $1 billion below where it was five years ago, Fisher told reporters. Net farm income is half what it was in the middle of the decade, he added. It’s not a pretty picture for the dairy industry, as costs continue to outpace milk prices. Fisher said the price of milk is a world market. While New York dairy farmers are struggling, he said he sees “a little bit of strength in the market for fall.” The current price is $18.13 per hundredweight. Asked what New York state could do for dairy farmers, Fisher replied: “Lower the cost of doing business in New York.” Reducing regulations can improve farmers’ bottom line. “There’s not much you can do beyond that.” What about assistance to smaller dairy farms? Fisher said the state’s funding for promotion and research is very helpful. It helps farmers find efficiencies to get more money out of their production.

name for the location. “PonksadUteney” which means the “town of sandﬂies.” The name woodchuck comes from the Indian legend of “Wojak,” the groundhog, considered by them to be their ancestral grandfather. What are some of the sayings? From England, “If Candlemas be fair and bright, Winter has another ﬂight. If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, Winter will not come again.” From Scotland, “If Candlemas Day is bright and clear; there’ll be two winters in the year.” From Germany comes, “For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day, So far will the snow swirl

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s budget proposal calls for hiking aid to localities for agriculture by $5 million to a total of $29 million in 2019-20. “This is a top priority,” Fisher explained. “This commitment to muchneeded research, promotion and marketing programs supports a wide range of commodities, including dairy, wine, maple, apple, Christmas trees, onions and more.” Fisher said, “New York Farm Bureau will firmly make the case that this appropriation is much needed so New York farms can access the latest research available and improve their ability to compete in the marketplace.” NY Farm Net is another important state program helping agriculture with free and confidential consulting services, Fisher said. “They are counseling (farmers) to get them through these low milk prices.” Why hasn’t the recently passed U.S. Farm Bill and the U.S. agreement with Canada and Mexico had an impact on milk prices? While the Farm Bill and Mexican/ Canadian NAFTA amendments haven’t had much of an impact on milk prices, there are long-term benefits, he indicated. “Canada is a small market, so the impact is not going to be immediate,” Fisher said. “It does help the dairy farmers

until May. For as the snow blows on Candlemas Day, so far will the sun shine before May.” And from America, “Half the grain and half the hay ought to be left by Candlemas Day.” Pennsylvania’s ofﬁcial celebration of Groundhog Day began on Feb. 2, 1886, with a proclamation in the Punxsutawney Spirit by the newspaper editor, Clymer Freas: “Today is groundhog day and up to the time of going to press the beast has not seen its shadow.” The groundhog was given the name “Punxsutawney Phil, Seer of Seers, Sage of Sages, Prognosticator of

a little. Farmers look for stability in the market. We’re better off with the farm bill and NAFTA. With stability, we can work our way out of this long term.” The partial shutdown of the federal government that ended on Saturday did impact farmers in New York and elsewhere, Fisher said. The closure of USDA Farm Service Agency ofﬁces hurt farmers as milk programs, loans and tariff payments were delayed for more than a month. Also, the increase in the minimum wage to $11.10 per hour will impact farmers. The state has a tax credit to help offset some of the increased costs to farmers. Farm Bureau wants to extend those tax credits to maple and apple farmers. Fisher was also thankful for the proposed $300 million in the state Environmental Fund, which helps farmers pay for conservation measures to prevent pollution. The Farm Bureau wants to eliminate farmers paying unemployment insurance for farm workers who come into this country under contract for a short amount of time at harvest, Fisher said. Those workers leave and can’t collect unemployment. Fisher said the Farm Bureau was also urging that training for animal cruelty be mandated for law enforcement and district

attorneys. Funding should also be included in the budget, he added. Farm Bureau wants to keep the animal abuse laws within the state Department of Agriculture and Markets. “We don’t want to put a criminal target on farmers’ backs,” Fisher said. Growing hemp under a state program — now legal under the U.S. Farm Bill — will give New York farmers another opportunity to diversify their crops, Fisher said. Working with Cornell and Cornell Cooperative Extension, farmers have begun pilot programs growing, processing and selling hemp. Farmers, he added, “know how to grow things.” Small farmers will probably be squeezed out of production of hemp’s cannabis cousin marijuana, similar to what happened with medical marijuana because of the large capital expenses up front, the Farm Bureau president said. “It is important for lawmakers, many of whom are new to the Senate and Assembly this year, to understand not only the economic situation many farmers ﬁnd themselves in but also the positive impacts farms make to the rural economy and overall well-being of New York State,” Fisher said.

In 1893, I found the ﬁrst mention of Groundhog Day in the Springville Journal. In 1933, Mrs. Emma Krepps from Springville had 12 robins under her apple tree eating frozen apples, must be spring around the corner. They had a groundhog coming out day party in the 1940s and singing and games were planned for Feb. 2. So how often is Punxsutawney Phil correct? From 1886 to 2018, 132 times in all, he did not see his shadow and predicted an

early spring 18 times, and most claim the groundhog is right 35 to 40 percent of the time. What time of day does that take place? Not high noon, but at sunrise! So what do you think? Is at all hogwash, or do we trust the furry guy that has gotten the name of Punxsutawney Phil, who hibernates ﬁve to seven months of the year and comes out on February the 2nd of each year to let us know if spring is going to arrive early? Our winter this year has been a little strange, to say the least. Snow, wind, ice one day and rain and warmth the next. Shall we plan our garden now, or wait

Open-air demolition of West Valley Main Process Building is delayed

The open-air demolition of the Main Process Building at the West Valley Demonstration Project has been delayed indeﬁnitely. Contractor CHBWV has been asked by the U.S. Department of Energy to look into cleaning up areas not included in the original Phase I contract while the demolition of the Main Process Building is on hold. Scott Anderson, CHBWB president and general manager, told members of the West Valley Citizens Task Force on Wednesday the Main Process Building was 95 percent deactivated. “We’ve still got some challenges,” he added. The last of 416 intermodal containers of debris — from the former vitriﬁcation facility that was demolished over the past year — left the WVDP facility in the town of Ashford last week, Anderson said.

Bryan Bower, the Department of Energy director at the West Valley Demonstration Project nuclear cleanup, said that while the Main Process Building was included in the current contract, DOE ofﬁcials are “rethinking open-air demolition.” Cleaning up below-grade cells that were not part of the current contract will lessen the amount of radioactive material in the building and keep crews working, Bower said. Anderson said crews will focus instead on seven ancillary buildings surrounding the Main Process Building. They are also working to rebuild infrastructure including natural gas and electrical lines that are more than 50 years old The U.S. Department of Energy delayed the open-air razing of the Main Process Building — where spent nuclear fuel from nuclear power plants was reprocessed from the mid-1960s until 1972 — following an unexpected release last

year of radioactivity during demolition in Hanford, Wash. Bower said he could not discuss any timetable for a decision on whether an open-air demolition would be carried out. Anderson told Citizen Task Force member Raymond Vaughn that the Hanford release had left DOE officials nervous over open-air demolition. He said that Western New York winters make demolition more difficult. The demolition of the vitrification building showed that “maybe you need a structure to work in, maybe not,” he said. Bower said no decision had been made on whether the demolition would be openair or not. The DOE is seeking requests for proposals on what to do with below-grade cells. “There are a handful of cells in the main plant that make us nervous,” Bower said. Citizen Task Force member Joseph Pati asked whether the hole in the roof left after

removal of the remaining stack on the Main Process Building had been repaired. “To some extent,” replied Anderson. There are some areas of the roof where ofﬁcials would like to put a temporary patch to keep water out of the plant. Bower also said the government shutdown had not impacted the cleanup at the nation’s ﬁrst commercial nuclear reprocessing plant. The DOE is not among the federal departments involved in the partial shutdown that began Dec. 22. Work continues toward a preferred alternative for Phase II cleanup at the West Valley site. That draft recommendation is probably two years away. The Citizens Task Force has called in the past for a full cleanup of the site including removal of underground tanks that once held 600,000 gallons of highly radioactive liquid wastes, as well as the removal of state and NRC-licensed disposal sites.

I’m honored to be here with Mary as she’s presented with her award. It couldn’t go to a better person.” As she accepted the award, MacQueen said she couldn’t have accomplished all that she has without the support of her fellow patrollers. She said they were always willing to support her and cheer her on including people like Robin Clark who watched her dogs while she was out climbing Mount Washington and at Whiteface Mountain doing avalanche training. She also credited Butch MacQueen for driving the patrollers in the van to take them to training events. “You guys are the backbone of why I got this award,” she said. “It’s not just my award, it’s everybody’s award because, without a patrol like you, I never could have done it. “It’s not just one person that makes me want to do something like this,” MacQueen continued. “It’s because you guys are so close and I love this family so much that I would do anything to be with this group. I want to thank you all for it.” MacQueen is a Deputy Sheriff for the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Department, and a licensed New York State Guide for hiking, camping and outdoor skills. She is also certiﬁed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) as a wilderness searcher and crew boss.

Fox Searchlight/Twentieth Century Fox This image released by Twentieth Century Fox shows Emma Stone (left) and Olivia Colman in a scene from “The Favourite.”

By Kellen M. Quigley Where does one even begin with a film like “The Favourite”? On the surface, it seems like a period piece biopic depicting the day-to-day life of Queen Anne near the end of her reign. But underneath all the ridiculous wigs, makeup and layers of regal clothing from the 1710s is one of the best romantic comedies and one of the best revenge-driven thrillers of 2018, as well as about a dozen other genres in between. With ingenious filmmaking methods such as using all-natural lighting, bizzare cinematography and editing choices and filming on location at the Hatfield House estate in Hertfordshire, director Yorgos Lanthimos creates a unsettling world that would be a total fantasy if it weren’t for history proving it to be true. And yet, with everything that’s going on in this story, all the different genres that mix together and all the intertwining plots each character is spinning, “The Favourite” never feels bloated or unfocused. Because when in the court of Queen Anne, you never know where you stand nor what will happen next. In the early 18th century, England is at war with the French, but in Kensington Palace, duck racing and eating pineapple takes precedence. A mentally frail Queen Anne (portrayed Olivia Colman) occupies the throne and her close friend Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz) governs the country in her stead while tending to Anne’s health and temper. But when Sarah’s cousin Abigail (Emma Stone) arrives, Sarah takes her under her wing and Abigail sees a chance at a return to her aristocratic roots. As the politics of war become time consuming for Sarah, Abigail steps into the breach to fill in as the Queen’s companion. As their burgeoning relationship deepens, it gives Abigail the idea to use the Queen to fulfill her ambitions and she will not let woman, man, politics or rabbits stand in her way. But as long as Sarah is around, the two cousins vye for Anne’s attention as she slips further into madness. Right from the opening minute, Colman, Weisz and Stone are fully in control of every scene, often battling for the spotlight. These powerhouse performances never waiver throughout the runtime, driving the next unexpected twists and turns that populate their days at Kensington. I’ve been a fan of Colman for years, but this is probably the performance of her career. As Sarah and Abigail’s feud continues, Anne goes deeper into her depression as her mental health deteriorates. And yet, as Queen, she is still ruler of the kingdom. Watching Colman portray a woman who believes she’s always in control when in fact she never is can be both hilarious and terrifying, and balancing that reaction so perfectly is all Colman’s brilliance. And then there’s the battle between Abigail and Sarah, which also swims back and forth between hilarious and terrifying. In addition to this being about each of them trying to gain the most power, it’s also a love story with a sickeningly sweet triangle between the three women. The whole time I asked myself do these ladies sincerely love Anne or are they just using her, and you’re never really sure. A major part of that confusion and uncertainty comes from Lanthimos’ direction in every other aspect. The camera work is surreal and dreamlike with motion-sick swivels and fish-eye lenses. Title cards introduce each new sequence, but the words on screen having no context until much later. The Bach and Handel music is morphed to haunting and tense ends. While the screenplay often sounds like lines from a great Shakespearean work, it’s never stuffy or old. One technique that feels simultaneously of the period and totally modern is the use of all-natural light. There are no stage lights on beams over the actors’ heads or behind the camera. It’s all sunlight or candlelight, often creating stark contrasts and shadows, further driving home the uncertainty and horror-movie feel. And yet, with all the questionable choices and uncertainty in the story, one thing I am certain of is this is one of the best films of 2018. I haven’t seen every Oscar nominee, but of what I have seen, “The Favourite” may just be my favorite.

Frigid temperatures can mean frozen pipes 2018 losses related to frozen pipes totaled more than $270 million, an increase of more than $162 million from 2017. If the outside temperature drops below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, water pipes in homes with insufﬁcient insulation may freeze and break. Unfortunately, frozen pipes affect 250,000 families each winter. State Farm provides the following tips to prevent frozen pipes from happening in your home.

Frigid temperatures are hit the area this week, and the risk of frozen pipes will certainly be an issue in the upcoming days. According to 2018 State Farm claims data, more money was paid out in New York for winter water losses (including frozen pipes and ice dams) than any other

state in the U.S. The total payout for New York claims in 2018 reached more than $37.2 million, with the average cost per claim at $27,302.00. The next closest state was Illinois with a total pay-out of 27.7 million for total-payout in winter water loss claims. Nationally,

When temperatures drop: • A trickle of hot and cold water might be all it takes to keep your pipes from freezing. Let warm water drip overnight, preferably from a faucet on an outside wall. • Keep your thermostat set at the same temperature during both day and night. • Open cabinet doors to allow heat to get to un-insulated pipes under sinks and appliances near exterior walls. Before you travel: • Set the thermostat in your house no lower than 55 degrees. • Ask a friend or neighbor to check your

If you experience frozen pipes: • If you turn on your faucets and nothing comes out, leave the faucets turned on and call a plumber. • Do not use electrical appliances in areas of standing water to avoid electrocution. • Never try to thaw a pipe with a torch or other open ﬂame because it could cause a ﬁre hazard. • You may be able to thaw a frozen pipe using a hair dryer. Start by warming the pipe as close to the faucet as possible, working toward the coldest section of pipe. • If your water pipes have already burst, turn off the water at the main shutoff valve in the house; leave the water faucets turned on. Make sure everyone in your family knows where the water shutoff valve is and how to open and close it.

house daily to make sure it's warm enough to prevent freezing. • Shut off and drain the water system.

Designing a home’s interior can be fun. Whether furnishing a first apartment or a newly purchased family home, many people feel that the art they put on the walls of their homes is an expression of their individuality, and that a home isn’t truly a home until its interior reflects their personalities. Furnishing a home with art can be intimidating, especially for people doing so for the first time. But a few tricks of the trade can help men and women turn the interiors of their homes into spaces that reflect who they are.

• Embrace your personal taste. Don’t hesitate to decorate your walls with art you like. When buying furniture for a home, it can make sense to follow certain rules. For example, parents of young children might want to purchase dark-colored furnishings that can hide stains. But no such rules should govern your choices of artwork. Art reﬂects the person who made it, but it also reﬂects the person who buys it, so buyers should embrace their personal taste when furnishing their homes with art. • Shop around. Thanks to the internet, billions of

EXCAVATING • LANDSCAPING SITE WORK • DRAINAGE • SEPTIC SYSTEMS

pieces of art, from tapestries to photographs to paintings, are at your fingertips. Comparison shopping can be fun and help novices discover their personal tastes. It also can be a great way to support artists. For example, 90 percent of all image royalties on art purchased from YourArtGallery.com goes directly to the artist, ensuring much of buyers’ money is going toward supporting the people responsible for the art they plan to hang in their homes. That can give people a greater sense of pride in their home’s decor. • Seek inspiration. If you’re unfamiliar with art, don’t hesitate to seek inspiration. Art is everywhere, from the hotels you stay in while traveling to the billboards you pass while driving to work to the local art museum near your home. If you’re uncertain of what you like, make a concerted effort to recognize the art you see but may not stop to notice each day. As you expose yourself to more and more art, you will gain a greater knowledge of what you like and dislike. Use that knowledge to inform your decisions when buying art for your home. • Switch things up. Your entire home does not need to follow a theme. If your taste in art is eclectic, embrace that and have different rooms throughout your home reflect your different tastes. This can give each room its own unique feel and make for a colorful home. The art people hang in their homes is a personal choice, and the process of finding that art can be fun and eye-opening.

Grifﬁns score top-three ﬁnish at Erie County small-school meet

Springville 59, Holland 38

Mackenzie Owens paced Springville with 17 points on five three-pointers in an ECIC Div. IV victory on Thursday, Jan. 24, leading four double-figure scorers on the night. Kelsey Zabawa (11 points), Bella Oakley (10) and Ivette Lewandowski (10) all added to the victory with double digits. In Springville’s first 14 games, it has held opponents to less than 40 points 11 times. “The girls were fantastic getting the ball inside the post to help the team to the big win,” coach Bob Gainey said. “Ivette Lewandowski was fantastic feeding the ball in transition and also in the half court.”

Saturday, Jan. 26, saw the Springville boys varsity swim team travel to Sweet Home in hopes of earning its fifth consecutive topthree finish at the Erie County small school championships. Key to the goal would be relays placing within the top three, and individuals to finish in the top 16. Jon Boberg, Zach Hughey, Blaze Schelble and Austin Yetter kept their seasonlong rhythm going while taking second place in the 200 medley relay and third

Schweickert took 13th in the 200 freestyle. Connor Hughey finished in 14th place in the 100 Backstroke as well. Other swimmers who qualified but couldn’t quite crack the top 16 mark in swimming were Justin Buczek, Christian Safford and Garrett Casey. Following up the swimming portion was the diving event. In order to achieve the goal of a top-three finish, the divers would all need to finish in the top eight, and that they did. Jackson Richert scored

in the 200 freestyle relay. Replacing Austin was Eric Schweickert in the 400 free relay, which also earned a third-place finish. Leading the team in individual performances in the pool were Zach Hughey, who took fifth in the 100 backstroke, followed by Boberg with a sixth-place finish in the 100 butterfly. Yetter sealed an eighth-place finish in the 200 IM and also took 14th in the 100 fly. Schelble secured a ninth-place finish in the 50 freestyle while

an eighth-place ﬁnish with a score of 281.75, Dakota Schelble earned a secondplace ﬁnish with a score of 314.80 and Wyatt Fuller won the event with a score of 381.60. Overall, the team placed third behind typical powerhouses East Aurora and Starpoint. Its next competition is Friday, Feb. 1 for the Class C Championships, which features small schools throughout Western New York.

Boberg also tied for sixth place overall out of 29 swimmers with a personal best time as well. “Not only does he lead the team in the pool, but his attitude and leadership on deck has helped to play a vital role in our team's success as well,” assistant coach Ryan Dygert said.

Goodridge (33 points) lifts Griffs again in 69-56 win over JFK

Photo by Jaime Dickinson Springville senior Mason Goodridge recently became the school’s all-time leading boys basketball scorer, passing the record of 1,223 points set by Marty Sykes.

by a point thanks to playing much harder on the defensive end. Kelsey Zabawa led Springville with 12 points and Mackenzie “Kenz” Owens scored 11. The loss drops Springville to 11-4. The Griffs were set to host JFK on Wednesday, but the game was postponed with school closed. Next up is a trip to Cleveland Hill on Friday.

Eighth-graders learn what electives the high school can offer

By Elyana Schosek Student Reporter

When someone enters into high school or any new environment, there are important decisions that they must make. For example, the current eighth graders at SpringvilleGrifﬁth Middle School must decide what electives they are going to take in the ﬁrst year of high school. This past Monday, the eighth-grade class visited the high school to learn about their options. The main elective departments that these incoming freshman visited included art, music, foreign languages, technology,

business and agriculture. As the students rotated throughout the building in groups for a set amount of time, each department did something different to introduce the students to their options. During the world language and music sessions of the day, students heard from current world language and music students and were informed of the travel opportunities set up by these departments. In their freshman year, students are able to participate in performing ensembles such as band, chorus and orchestra. Different from the middle school and

other area high schools, students at Springville can be in more than one ensemble. This is a very unique opportunity for the students! After freshman year, the students’ other options for music electives include music theory, theatre and history of rock and roll. “Freshman year will also be a traveling year for the music students, heading to Boston, Mass.,” said Mrs. Julie Noeson said. “Eighth graders will not only have the opportunity to see the unique programs that SI has to offer but will get to meet the teachers who teach them and the students who have experienced them.”

The agriculture department has many unique electives open to freshman. “I usually show the kids the facility (weather dependent, if it’s snowy we just look out the windows) and talk about the program,” said Mr. John Busekist about what he does with the kids during the agriculture section of the elective fair. Busekist said he has a couple of high school students come in and talk about classes they have taken and their involvement in FFA and he has a brochure for students to take home. “This is one opportunity for students to learn about

electives they can take,” he said of why this is an important day for the students he stated. Busekist also noted that in the past, he has had seniors come up to him and say that they didn’t even know the school had an agriculture department. Since the elective fair began a couple of years ago, more students are aware of the department and the course options available within it. The students also visited Mr. Jonathan Shelley and Mr. Tim Baumgartner in the high school technology department. A student entering high school who wishes to take a technology class has a few options, however, there is one class that is highly recommended: DDP, or Design and Drawing Principles, also known as Intro to Tech. “DDP is just the beginning. Once students have a chance to cut their teeth in DDP, the sky's the limit,” said Baumgartner. “The more the students learn in each of our classes, the more we encourage them to come down and work on their own independent projects.” During the technology session, students were able to see the labs and learn more details about

the department and the classes it offers. This year, Baumgartner and Shelley have invited a few girls who are taking classes within the department to talk about why they like DDP and tech in general. They want to show that tech isn’t just for boys. After freshman year, the tech electives offered include Woodworking; Welding; Small Engines; Tech I; Architecture; Robotics; Aerospace; Video Game Design; and CAD/CAM, which entails 3D printing, CNC Milling and CNC Laser cutting. “I like to show real examples of the kind of work students are doing in each class,” Baumgartner added. “It is important for each student to make their own decision on what electives they want to take. I would encourage each student to try as many electives as possible in their time here.” “I think the most important thing that the middle school students should take away from this day is to try something new even if it means getting out of their comfort zone,” Shelley added. “It doesn’t matter what classes these freshmen end up taking, what is truly important is that they are taking something and expanding their horizons.”
