Springville dam project on track, but with some hesitation from the community

By Kellen M. Quigley

The proposed project to lower Scoby Dam on the Cattaraugus Creek is moving forward with plans by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, but not without some hesitation by the people who live, work and play nearby. Several dozen Springville area residents and those concerned about such a project’s impact gathered Jan. 29 in the Concord Town Hall for a presentation by several officials involved in the development, environmental impact and health risk aspects of lowering the dam. Project Manager Geoffrey Hintz with the Corps of Engineers said they have spent the past 10 years putting the project together with preliminary studies and

according to plan, he said the project could be done by late 2021 or early 2022. Hintz said a major concern in the community is the impact of possible nuclear

students. Each of the three categories is pretty self-explanatory. The SGI Music Department allows students to start playing an instrument in fourth grade and to continue through high school if they so choose. “Just as athletics and

other competitive teams are concerned, playing a musical instrument, whether it be a piccolo or a string bass, allows you to become part of something,” one high school band member said. Last week the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade band students performed at the high school for their families. This week, the seventh through twelfth graders will be having a concert. Olivia Giammarco is a junior at SGI and has played flute in the band since fourth grade. When asked why she has continued it for as long as she has, she answered simply, “It brings a way for me to connect with both myself and others through music.” Cora Miller is in fourth grade at SGI and has just begun playing clarinet this year.

contamination from West Valley Development Project upstream, which was previously tested about a decade ago. “The determination at the time was there is no contamination of concern

in the creek,” he said. “The DEC partners said the work that we’ve done isn’t sufficient and we want to do more samples down to the bottom of the impoundment and test that for contamination.” Geologist Bill Frederick with the Corps of Engineers explained the various testing processes and analyses performed in the creek between the West Valley plant ceased operation and the preparations for the project. The most recent samples showed little to no difference in radiation amounts in the water compared to above West Valley, all of which were below levels of concern. “The (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) essentially told us the sediment is a lowrisk to no-risk profile for the radionuclide,”

Frederick said. “The 2018 sampling verified what we determined in 2012 and 2015, that there was no added risk to a construction worker, a recreational user or a farmer from sentiments behind the dam.” Hints said other concerns are how the project is going to affect fishing, properties downstream, ice jams and flooding. “We’ve evaluated that over these years, we have detailed studies completed and the answer is there is no negative impact from changing that structure that is going to affect the properties downstream,” he said.

A Look Back:

The Wadsworth Family of Concord By Jolene Hawkins

Looking back in the history of Concord and so many names of people, who seemed to do so much for this area, pop up. One of the family names that you will see is Wadsworth, and I thought we would learn a little more about this family. The Wadsworth family is full of men who

achieved greatness during their time. Capt. Joseph Wadsworth preserved the Charter of Connecticut in 1687, Capt. Jonathan Wadsworth was killed at the Battle of Saratoga in 1777 and Richard Wadsworth moved to Springville in 1833. Frederick Wadsworth had a store in Vicksburg and we have his letters as the soldiers during the Civil War destroyed his store, throwing items in the street, burning them and his store. He rebuilt the store, only to have it destroyed again. The farm they were living

in was commandeered by the generals for their headquarters, forcing them to move away, but that is a story for another day. John Wadsworth was born in Buffalo and later his family moved to Springville where he attended Springville Academy. He was a clerk for the store that was kept by Manly Colton. Later he went to Vicksburg to work with his brother, Frederick, and remained there until his health started to fail. Then, he set out by sea to California where he worked in a mine. The hard fare of a miner’s life benefited him, and his weight soon climbed

up to 200 pounds. After residing in San Francisco a while, he went to Oregon, where he was Assistant Commissary General in the Oregon War. Either for business or recreation, he went to almost every part of the United States and Canada. He went to Europe where he remained for three years. During his time there he also went to the Holy Lands and Egypt, Italy and Asia, embracing the Grecian Island. H.T. Wadsworth moved to Springville in 1833 when he was about 20 years of age. For over 40 years he had a harness business. His son Charles

assisted his Uncle John when he was engaged at a sutler in the Army as well as in his harness business here in town. So, what about the Wadsworth Monument that is in the Maplewood cemetery? Well, it required five flat cars on the S & S Railway to transport as it is 31 feet 6 inches tall and composed of Maine granite, weighing 44,663 pounds. The price at the time (1879) was $3,000. It required 8 strong horses to draw it up from the train station and three days to get it all set up. The monument base is 6 feet, 10 inches square. Upon this base rest the second base which is 5

feet, 8 inches square and is one foot high with the name WADSWORTH engraved on one side. The third base is 5 feet, 2 inches square by one See A Look Back page 4

days for the athletes to get familiar with speed at this venue. Day three was the race and Mother Nature threw some interesting conditions at these young racers. There was poor visibility with the snowstorm that seemed to have parked over the hill. In addition to this, the only “clear” part of this hill was the race track, therefore putting pressure on athletes to stay on their line or almost immediately be forced to stop due to heavy snow.

Science Olympiad team representing SGI in competition

By Elyana Schosek Student Reporter

One of the biggest parts of high school is getting involved: that’s what everyone tells you to do. Whether it be in the form of sports, clubs, volunteering or much else, being involved in high school is not only something that looks good on various applications but something that can be enjoyable. Science Olympiad is a team that allows students to compete and test their knowledge of a number of scientific topics against students from other schools.

These competitions have a specific list of events that students can choose from. As with any sort of competition, there are rules and regulations that the teams must abide by. On the day of the competition, the students either take a test on the material they had been studying or test out their handmade structure for a specific task, it’s all dependent on which events they chose to participate in. Keaton Wunk is a junior who has participated in Science Olympiad since he was in middle school. This year he chose to take part in

four different events. For Astronomy, he had to “identify certain deep space objects and certain aspects of them.” For Chemistry Lab, he had to “conduct an experiment and answer questions about acid and bases and aqueous solutions.” For Designer Genes, he had to “answer specific questions about different genetic topics,” and for Experimental Design, he had to “create a two-dimensional experiment.” Nathan Cudney is also a junior who has been a part of Science Olympiad since middle school. For some of his events, he had to

s ’ e r e h W x?

Unfortunately, he got sick the day of the event and was unable to participate but had still spent months preparing for it all. He had prepared for Chemistry Lab and Dynamic Plant which “focused on the science of the ocean.” Once they complete the task at hand, they are evaluated or graded and places are awarded. Medals are awarded to the top few students in each event and the points are totaled to determine the winning team or school. “Science olympiad is a good opportunity because it allows kids to explore

SCA

different fields of science before they get to college so that they can have some experience in a field that they may desire to enter into,” Keaton said. When asked why it’s a good opportunity, Nathan said that it “gives a wide range of knowledge on different topics that you learn about in a fun way.” Science Olympiad allows any middle school or high school student to focus on and learn more about specific topics in science while having fun with friends which is what makes it a great opportunity.

create study guides and use resources online to build his knowledge of the specific topics. This year he competed in an event called Write-it, Do-it which is “where one partner writes the instructions to a puzzle and the other has to use the instructions to build the puzzle,” along with fossils, which was a test on his knowledge of fossils, and disease detectives, which “tested knowledge of detecting and controlling diseases.” Blaze Schelble is one of the other juniors on the team that has been on the team since middle school.

Hubby Jenkins to perform Valentine’s Day concert at SCA Springville Center for the Arts is presenting a Valentine’s Day concert sure to appeal to couples and singles alike when Hubby Jenkins takes the stage on Feb. 14. Jenkins is a talented multi-instrumentalist who endeavors to share his love and knowledge of old-time American music. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Jenkins delved

into his Southern roots, following the thread of African American history that wove itself through country blues, ragtime, fiddle and banjo and traditional jazz. He got his higher musical education started as a busker. Jenkins developed his guitar and vocal craft on the sidewalks and subway platforms of New York

City, performing material by those venerable artists whose work he was quickly absorbing. An ambitiously itinerant musician, he took his show on the road, playing the streets, coffee shops, bars and house parties of cities around the country. After years of busking around the U.S. and making a name for himself, Jenkins became

the impact the dam would have for fisheries and fish passage on the creek. He said the DEC presented the plan last year for public comment and received 53 replies. “That was a lot more than I thought we were going to get from that,” he said. “Thirty-eight of those conveyed special concerns or recommendations, and we take those very seriously. Going through those 38 comments really boiled down to 17 general themes.” Markham said many of the themes were already

addressed in the plan or had to be included, improved upon or added upon. Among those themes was keeping as much of the ecosystem as possible the same while allowing fish passage for various species from the lower to upper creek. “Our management goal in the plan is to manage upper Cattaraugus Creek and its tributaries as a high-quality, year-round sports fishery,” he said. “Some of the best catch rates we have in Lake Erie and let alone all of the Great Lakes come right from this creek.”

Springville Mayor Bill Krebs said the village has been interested in the project since an initial meeting in 2013, adding that it’s in the best interest of the Springville area for tourism and historical reasons. Although the dam ceased producing electricity for the village in the late 1980s and the site was taken over by the county for a park in 1997, Krebs said Springville is still very emotionally connected to the dam. Krebs said he’s talked with a group from New York City who comes to

Springville every year for fishing in the creek. He said the creek is also used for whitewater canoeing and rafting. “There is a lot of visitors here looking for fun things to do in outdoor recreation,” he said. “This is an important dam and important 30-acre site for the village and for Concord.” The existing dam was completed in 1924. It is roughly halfway up the 70-mile-long creek.

acquainted with the Carolina Chocolate Drops. From 2010 to 2014 he has been an integral part of the Grammy award-winning group. Since 2015, he is an active touring and recording member of the Rhiannon Giddens band. He was on her album “Tomorrow Is My Turn” in 2015 and “Freedom

Highway” in 2017. Jenkins takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 14. Tickets are $14 advance, $17 at the door and are available by calling (716) 592-9038.

of being up on stage in front of so many people and her feelings are understandable For their first concert, they played simple songs like, “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Hot Cross Buns.” Cora said that they were easy for her, which shows the amount of time she spends practicing to be her best. Olivia strongly recommends that people get involved in music and not just students. She made a point of saying that it doesn’t matter when you make the decision, just that you do. “So whether you are

picking your instrument as a fourth grader, contemplating joining band as a sophomore or are deciding to pick up a guitar at 40, music is an essential part of the modern world and holds an immense impact on everyone’s lives no matter how small their involvement,” she said. For the students who are not involved in the music department or who aren’t quite old enough yet and even adults who play an instrument, music brings people together and is an important part of our lives.

MUSIC

why she started playing she gave quite a simple response: “Because it sounded fun and the teacher is very, very nice,” with a little laugh. At the high school, band is scheduled for first period, which means it’s how many students start their days. “As a student, band is an amazing opportunity to get out there and do something different and exciting in your school day rather than sitting through class after class,” Olivia added. As students get older and advance through school, the opportunities and experiences surrounding band become more and more. Not only can students play in concert band but also jazz and marching

bands along with, pit orchestra and TNSE, or Tuesday Night Strings. All of these side groups allow students to grow their musical abilities and to simply be involved. Cora noted that she “hopes to play in middle school and high school” and that she looks forward to being in the parades as a part of the marching band. “Everyone is expected to do their part to improve the band and make a difference in the sound produced,” Olivia said. “The chain is only as strong as its weakest link, is most definitely the message that is shared with band members to encourage them to practice and get better because it can be hard to motivate yourself

enough to get better if you are only doing it for yourself. “I would say that the best part of band is definitely connecting with other people on a musical level to work and make each piece the best it can be,” she added. As a younger student, Cora had a slightly different take on what the best part of band is. She mentioned that her favorite part was the “bravo tickets” which are just small slips of paper that students receive congratulating them on an accomplishment. While accomplishments are still recognized in high school, it works a little differently. You have the ability to change your chair which revolves

around skill level and determines your part. A higher chair is achieved through hard work and dedication. “The teamwork and sense of belonging to something successful is one like no other and I wouldn’t want anyone to miss out on that,” Olivia said. When Cora was asked why band is a good opportunity she said, “because you get to learn a new thing and play an instrument that maybe you’ve never played before.” Most of the fourth graders have only had two concerts thus far in their musical careers so when Cora was asked how she feels about them, she took no time in saying they’re scary. She mentioned the fact

Wadsworth, son of Richard, born in Buffalo, NY in 1823 … died in Springville in 1877. After extensive travels in the four quarters of the globe, he came to the home of his youth to die here and rest by the side of his parents. His respect for his ancestors incited him to provide for the erection of this family monument.” The next section is where the cap rests 4 feet, 9 inches square by 4 feet, 2 inches high. The west face bears a charter oak, the east the letter “W,” the north side a double-headed eagle, and the south the Holy Bible, all beautifully carved in granite. On the very top, is an ancient helmet that

is 2 feet, 9 inches high and set it all off. On June 28, 1879, this monument was unveiled in a Masonic ceremony at the Maplewood Cemetery where Masons from all over the United States showed up. After arriving by train, horse and foot, they all met at the Masonic Hall on Main Street where they took up a collection and then continued to the cemetery where speeches were heard by the 350 Masons and 5,000 people who were present. In John Wadsworth’s

will, he left money to all of his family, the Masonic Knight Templar, Royal Arch Masons chapter and he left the Village of Springville $250 for the purpose of establishing a public library, providing the citizens of Springville contribute a like amount. A meeting was held and, of course, the money was provided. The Young’s People Christian Association were willing to become the custodian of these books, and would have a room furnished to keep

them in. You can come in and read more about this monument and research more of the founding fathers and families that have lived in our town on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or on the second and fourth Sunday from 2-4 p.m. Send us an email and we can get started on your research for you and have it ready when you arrive at lucybensleycenter@ gmail.com or call us at (716) 592-0094.

Daniel Fawls, Deacon Jeffrey Forster, the Martha Committee of St. Aloysius Church, Mayor William Krebs, Deputy Mayor Nils Wikman, Bagpiper Danne Farrell, the Military Honor Guards, Janet and Andrea Mellon and all the family and friends who attended his celebration of life.

Peter Mountain / Netflix Anthony Hopkins (left) portrays Pope Benedict XVI and Jonathan Pryce portrays Pope Francis in “The Two Popes.”

‘The Two Popes’ uses smart writing to show humanity in holiness By Kellen M. Quigley

In the unlikeliest of places with the unlikeliest of characters, “The Two Popes” is at times one of the best buddy comedies of 2019, something I didn’t expect from a movie about the ideological and personal differences between Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. Yes, many scenes consist of Benedict (portrayed by Anthony Hopkins) and Francis (Jonathan Pryce), who was still Cardinal Bergoglio at the time, simply walking through beautiful scenes of the Italian countryside or within the walls of Vatican City, but their verbal boxing match is wonderfully entertaining. From the outside, a movie about the Catholic Church’s two living leaders talking about what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century sounds like it would have a limited target audience. Not only would not all Christians care about a movie about the Popes, but I’d wager not many Catholics do either. However, while the background and setting may be Catholic, the heart of this story and these two men are about universal truths anyone from anywhere could relate to: humanity, brotherhood and the differences — and similarities — we all share. Not to mention, two of our greatest living British actors look an awful lot like the titular holy men, and it would be a shame to not see a movie where these titans of the stage and screen go head-to-head while looking so much like their real-life characters. In this Netflix film, frustrated with the direction of the church, Cardinal Bergoglio (Pryce) travels to Rome in 2012 to request permission to retire from Pope Benedict (Hopkins). Instead, facing scandal and self-doubt, the introspective Benedict summons his harshest critic and the future successor to reveal a secret that would shake the foundations of the Catholic Church. Over the following months, the two spend time together in Vatican City as a struggle commences between both tradition and progress, guilt and forgiveness, as these very different men confront their pasts in order to find common ground and forge a future for a billion followers around the world. As a movie inspired by true events in such recent history, the film uses this to its advantage by showing the public aspects of this story in as real a way as possible, utilizing actual news

footage and documentarystyle techniques to show the death of John Paul II in 2005 and the election of German Cardinal John Ratzinger, a.k.a. Pope Benedict XVI, with quick, cold editing and impersonal cinematography. But once the heart and soul of this story meet faceto-face and in private — their scenes aren’t so much re-tellings as formations based on accounts from both popes — the conversations of faith, duty, responsibility and the frank unease they have for each other becomes beautifully personal, which can sometimes feel like the viewer is right there with them. A lot of that has to do with the screenplay by Anthony McCarten, adapted from his play “The Pope,” which ebbs and flows with scenes of genuine heartfelt emotion, odd-couple humor and political debate, each moving naturally from one to the next as a believable conversation. And then there are the smart, subtle choices like having them speak in their native Spanish and German at first, then attempts as Latin before finally settling on speaking in English, a simple language divide representing such a bigger divide in the Catholic Church. Compare that with another scene of the two sharing a love of music, with Benedict preferring Classical to Francis’s enjoyment of pop and rock. “You like The Beatles?” Benedict asks. “Oh yes,” says Francis. “Eleanor Rigby.” “I’m sorry,” Benedict replies, “I don’t know her.” Like I said, hilarious buddy comedy, but also another representation of past and present butting heads. However, without Hopkins and Pryce giving two of their best performances in years, I don’t know if this movie could work. It’s no small feat playing the Pope. While it’s obviously them on screen, these actors disappear into these roles and become Benedict and Francis, not only capturing their mannerisms and speech patterns, but the core of what they are and represent. As a disclaimer, I will say this movie is definitely not for everyone depending on your relationship with Catholocism, Christianity or religion in general. However, I will also say that shouldn’t matter because seeing these two actors bring this beautiful script to life in these beautiful locations is worth it.

SGI girls win 6th in last 7 games The Springville Lady Griffs varsity girls basketball team came away with a huge 49-25 victory over Maryvale Tuesday night at home. The Springville girls (11-5) honored their five seniors (Rachel O’Neal, Jess Engel, Belle Oakley, Gracie Attebery and Ivette Lewandowski) by getting a win. The seniors started the game and held Maryvale scoreless over the first two minutes. The defensive success continued, holding a 21-9 lead at halftime, and SGI’s 17-point third quarter finished off the game. Mackenzie Owens scored 13 points in the third and 19 total.

Springville started strong, leading 18-5 after the first quarter with 14 combined points from Lewandowski and Owens. The Griffs led by 8 at halftime, with coach Bob Gainey

crediting “incredible” defense of Nyah Solly and Meg Rehrauer, holding EA’s top two scorers to seven points through the half. EA cut the lead to one in the third quarter, but SGI pulled away as Owens scored 10 points in the quarter. Lewandowski iced the game with seven points in the fourth and some solid free-throw shooting. “Belle Oakley was terrific defensively and on the glass, she was strong all night long,” Gainey said. “Gracie Attebery hit huge free throws and played with a lot of toughness, and Rachel O’Neal once again gave great minutes on both ends of the floor.”

In the ECIC A championships last Saturday, Austin Yetter had two top-four individual performances. Yetter took third place in the 200 individual

medley and fourth place in the 100 butterfly. He also was a part of Springville’s two second-place relays, the 200 medley and 200 freestyle.

WINTER WINTER Common household poisons that put kids in harm’s way

Childhood is time of exploration for youngsters. Curiosity is a healthy way for kids to broaden their horizons. However, in an effort to learn more about their worlds, children may find themselves in harm’s way. The Victoria State Government says accidental poisoning is most commonly a problem in young FINAL LOGO 9-23-19 DELOCON KITCHEN & BATH SHOWROOM JENNIE ACKLIN / KEYSTONE DESIGNERS INC. 814-688-0083, jennie.acklin52@gmail.com

children. Most poisonings happen at home, but they also can occur while visiting friends and family or while on vacation. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that more than 300 children in the United States between the ages of zero and 19 are treated in an emergency department every day, and two children die as a result of being

poisoned. Parents may think that only chemicals with clear warning labels pose a threat to youngsters. However, many everyday items can be poisonous. Here’s how to recognize some of the more common hazards lurking in typical homes. Medications Medications account for

roughly half of potentially toxic exposures, according to NYU Langone Health. A child who gets into overthe-counter or prescription medications can be in real trouble. To children, medicines may seem like food, beverages, candy, or toys. Some medicines need not be ingested to be dangerous, so make sure all are kept well beyond the reach of curious tykes.

Household plants Houseplants can be dangerous. Although many common indoor plants only cause mild gastrointestinal symptoms if consumed, daffodils, dumb cane, foxglove, hydrangea, lilies, oleanders, rhododendrons, and wisteria, may have toxins that can affect the stomach, respiratory system, liver, or heart.

amount of alcohol to make children ill. Alcohol can be found in beverages, but also in perfume, mouthwash, cleaning products, hand sanitizers, and over-thecounter cold medications. NYU Langone says alcohol poisoning in children can cause low blood sugar, which can lead to seizures and coma. Liquid nicotine or nicotine replacement gum can be hazardous as well. Illicit substances also carry serious health consequences for children. Changes in breathing, unconsciousness or seizures may result depending on the substance. Keeping children away from potential poisons takes diligence. Certain substances may be best kept behind lock and key and/ or up high where curious hands cannot reach. Homes should have the poison prevention hotline number clearly displayed. The CDC also recommends discarding unused products, medicines and vitamins to limit children’s access to them.
