Springville Village Board approves social media policy for Facebook use

By Kellen M. Quigley

The Village of Springville Board of Trustees is making the voice of the village a little more official online with approval of a social media policy. Mayor Bill Krebs updated the board on the Springville Local Government Media Policy, which he said was begun about two years ago. “This is a social media policy that outlines how we operate our Facebook page,” he said. “It sets guidelines for our employees, and basically it says only designated employees to post anything on our Facebook page.” Krebs said the various village departments, such as the police or DPW, cannot have their own social media pages, per the policy, because they

are departments of the village and the village only has one official Facebook page. “It regulates the type of content we put on it that pertains just to the village and official village business,” he said. “Especially during an emergency, getting

accurate information out is so important, and this is one way we can do that.” Krebs said the policy also has criteria for the village’s control of the comments that can be made by the public and if the village can delete those comments. “It has a whole list

of things under the prohibited content section, such as defamatory attacks and threats to persons or organizations,” he said. Krebs said the village will also stay in compliance with other laws regarding social media. Village trustee Alan

Chamberlain asked if the policy had a clear definition of “social media,” saying the village is using it in terms of Facebook. Krebs said the language is in the policy and does cover the village legally, but it is also not too specific. “I saw this as a policy guiding us for right now, but we also have Code Red and because of our municipal standing we’re involved in New York Alert,” he said. “When I think of emergency things, we push information that comes off of NITTEC, but those are all official types of functions.” Although the village doesn’t have other social media accounts such as for Twitter or YouTube, Krebs said there is no reason why sometime in the future that the policy could be amended to include those if the village

creates accounts for other social media. “The intent here is that there are no other social media unless it’s board approved,” he said. “We were alerted to that danger where a superintendent of public works or police chief started their own Facebook and pushing out information that is not accurate or is self-serving to their own department.” Trustee Nils Wikman said the policy is a good thing to make sure there aren’t a lot of off-shoots, noting that sports teams for some schools all have their own Facebook pages and can be unregulated. Krebs said the other issue is the policy addresses is archival data, which is important if the village decides to delete an inappropriate comment. “This policy says people can comment on our posts, but the other option is to See Village Board page 4

Art’s Cafe to hosts Happy SGI girls advance with Hour to share recent success 61-23 win over Tonawanda

Photo submitted Art’s Cafe Construction Crew working toward a certificate of occupancy in December, 2019.

The Art’s Cafe project recently cleared a major hurdle with the completion of major construction. To celebrate and share, the team coordinating the redevelopment will host a Happy Hour meeting open to both owners and the public on Saturday, Feb. 29 at 4 p.m.

Art’s Cafe was initiated by Springville Center for the Arts in 2012. The building interior had collapsed, threatening neighboring buildings and passersby. SCA set out to transform the rubble into a dynamic public space that served as an extension of the programming at the arts

center with a workshop and small stage centered around a bakery-cafe environment. Work was completed when funding was available and financing for this last phase was secured with the use of Historic Tax Credits. “There’s still a lot of work to do, but this is a See Arts Cafe page 2

The SpringvilleGriffith Institute varsity girls basketball team won its home playoff game Tuesday night over the Tonawanda Warriors, 6123. After scoring 25 points in the first half, SGI (147) came out running in the second half with 23 in the third quarter alone. Mackenzie Owens poured

in five three-pointers on the way to 21 points. “It all started with their defense as Meg Rehrauer and Nyah Solly led the way,” coach Bob Gainey said. “Mackenzie Owens was dynamite from the perimeter … Belle Oakley once again was a force defensively.” Oakley chipped in eight points while Solly and

Rehrauer combined for 21 points. Ivette Lewandowski also scored eight points and Gracie Attebery added four off the bench. Lexus Frears scored 10 for Tonawanda (8-14) Springville advances to the B1 quarterfinals, traveling to No. 3 East Aurora (15-4) on Thursday. See Girls Hoops page 10

A Look Back:

How does your herb garden grow? By Jolene Hawkins

Looking back to the large gardens our forefathers and mothers had and one must include the herbs, for both flavoring the food and for health reasons. Early settlers brought herbs to America for use as remedies, for illnesses, flavoring, storing with linens, strewing on the floors or burning for their pleasant fragrances. Herbs

improved the taste of the food they ate, and some herbs were used to dye their homespun fabrics. What were the herbs that would be in the garden? I also do butter churning demonstrations and like to add herbs to the butter when giving out samples. I did some research and came up with the following herbs. How many do you have in your herb garden? Parsley came up high on the list. It is used to flavor your food of course but is also used in the aid of digestions. It can stay green all winter and is high in vitamins A and C.

Now, who doesn’t like mint, be it peppermint, catmint, chocolate mint — oh yes, there is one and it is so good — any of them, great to add to water or tea, freshen your breath,

calms your stomach. It is best grown in containers as it does like to take over your garden. Dill is great for flavoring fish, lamb, potatoes, pea and pickles. Easy to grow,

it attracts helpful insects to the garden, is good for the reduction of swelling and cramps, so great for food and health alike. Basil is popular and great on pizza, salads, sauces and presto. Sage is great for seasonings meats, sauces and vegetables. Sage can also be used to relieve cuts, inflammation and helps with memory issues — we can all use help there. Sage can be used as a dye, will change plain wool to a yellow, or green-gray. In days of old, a woman who placed a pot of basil on the balcony of her room was ready to receive a suitor. Rosemary is a flavorful herb and is good for chicken meats and

vegetables. I like to create a mixture of rosemary, sage, parsley, dill, thyme together and add to my fresh butter and use that during a meal. Chamomile, besides having cute little flowers, is one of the most widely consumed herbal teas. Also good for calming your nerves, or helping you to fall asleep, it is also good to help reduce inflammation. Lavender, one of my favorites, can be used in salads and dressing, giving it a slightly sweet flavor. The flowers are beautiful and can be dried easily by cutting it and hanging it upside down to dry. It’s nice to look at as well. See A Look Back page 2

‘On Golden Pond’ director invites community to production, now underway

By Alex Simmons

“On Golden Pond” by Ernest Thompson, tells the story of an aging couple Ethel (played by Mary Sion) and Norman (Mike Sharrer) Thayer who spend their summer on the titular Golden Pond. Throughout the year, they are visited by their daughter Chelsea (Kelly Gram), her fiance Bill Ray (Rick Manzone) and his son Billy Ray (Justin Simmons). The play explores the rocky relationship Chelsea faces with her father and the difficulties of a long marriage. Director Patricia Maxwell “held the auditions early so the actors could get started on learning their lines in December,” she said. Maxwell “suggested the show because it is timeless,” also stating “it offers so much for those of us entering our retirement years, facing the struggles of mortality and for our children, who

U14 Regular Season comes to an end By Caitlin Croft U14 athletes gathered for their last weekend of regular season racing. The final Mud, Sweat n Gears Cup of 2020 was held at HoliMont and Buffalo Ski Club. HoliMont hosted the Giant Slalom which proved to be a great State Championship preview event, the race track was firm and rewarded the athletes who really knew how to let the skis run and hold and outside ski. The slalom was held at Buffalo Ski Club and in true BSC fashion was difficult and technical. “It’s one of the best slalom hills in the state,” said one coach from the Central New York area.

This was also the last chance for athletes to qualify for States from the Regular Season. There is a last chance event, The Horst Derby, but the qualifications are extremely difficult and it puts all the pressure on one weekend of racing.

Check in next week for Horst Derby Results, U14 State Team Naming, U21/19 Championship Results along with U16 State Championship Results. Good Luck to all of those U21/19/16 athletes traveling to Hunt Hollow and Bristol Mountain this weekend.

EARLY BIRD SPECIAL

Lemongrass is another one of my favorites, as it is known to repel insects, spiders, flies and even fleas! It has a nice smell to it as well. Use the oil in a little bit of water and it gets rid of fruit flies. Sprit some when you see them and they will disappear. Oregano is in the mint family and is a staple herb in Italian cuisine. It’s often known as the pizza herb. Onion skins dye a broad range of colors. It can be yellow to orange to brown and even a gold color. Ginger is a great spice that you can grow in pots and is great to use fresh or dried. It is great for stomach problems, a dry cough, sore throat and adds a zing to drinks, teas and your food as well. So how does your garden grow with corn, carrots, peas or with mint, sage, lavender or with roses, lilies and daisies? I have some of all

A LOOK BACK Catnip, now this one can be a trick to grow, especially if there are any outdoor cats nearby! Did you know that a tea made of this is a relaxing agent, and catnip is a deterrent for rodents? Chives, always good in butter, has a mild sweet onion taste, can add a zing to salads, vegetables, eggs, meats, oh anything you serve. I had some garlic chives that I used in both my butter and meals! Bay leaves, a lot of recipes call for you to add a whole bay leaf at the beginning of the cooking process to give your food a slightly sharp, peppery taste. Aloe vera, great as an indoor plant and one used often, is known for its soothing properties for burns and skin problems. Did you know there are over 250 species of aloes? Most are native to Africa. The plant itself can be as much as 95% water.

HEALTHY LIVING Daily Core Use By Kim Duke

Over the years, I have written articles promoting the importance of a strong core for athleticism. However, have you ever considered how important your core is for daily activities? Think of your core muscles as the sturdy central link in a chain connecting your upper and lower body. Whether you’re hitting a tennis ball or mopping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core or move through it. No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function. And that saps power from many of the moves you make. Properly building up your core cranks up the power. A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Thus, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do: Everyday acts — Bending to put on shoes or scoop up a package, turning to look behind you, sitting in a chair, or simply standing still — these are just a few of the many mundane actions that rely on your core and that you might not notice until

they become difficult or painful. Even basic activities like vacuuming, mopping, bathing or dressing, for example, call on your core. On-the-job tasks — Our widespread dependence on artificial support, such as chair backs that shoulder us from sitting up straight have left many of us with weak spines and soft middles. Jobs that involve lifting, twisting and standing all rely on core muscles. But less obvious tasks — like sitting at your desk for hours — engage your core as well. Phone calls, typing, computer use and similar work can make back muscles surprisingly stiff and sore, particularly if you’re not strong enough to practice good posture and aren’t taking sufficient breaks. Balance and stability — Your core stabilizes your body, allowing you to move in any direction, even on the bumpiest terrain, or stand in one spot without losing your balance. Viewed this way, core exercises can lessen your risk of falling. Good posture — Weak core muscles contribute to slouching. Good posture trims your silhouette and projects confidence. More importantly, it lessens wear and tear on the spine and allows you to breathe deeply.

Good posture helps you gain full benefits from the effort you put into exercising, too. Weak, tight or unbalanced core muscles can undermine you in any of these realms. And while it’s

important to build a strong core, it’s unwise to aim all your efforts at developing rippling abs. Overtraining abdominal muscles while snubbing muscles of the back and hip can set you up for injuries and cut athletic

prowess. An overall training routine should be what you focus on to develop a strong core. Planks variations are one of my favorite core strengtheners but need to be done with proper

alignment and control. Exercises for better core strength can be endless and can meet any individual’s specific needs. Talk to an expert to find a routine that is right for you.

SGI students go across the pond to London By Ely Schosek Student Reporter Over the recent February break, a group of about 25 SpringvilleGriffith Institute community members including parents, students and teachers traveled to Europe, specifically England, France and Spain. The group departed from Buffalo-Niagara International Airport on Friday, Feb. 14. With a connecting flight in Washington, D.C., the group arrived in London around 7 a.m., local time following a mechanical issue before takeoff which caused a bit of a delay. After a safe but long flight, the group took a bus to their hotel to drop their bags before heading off for a day of touring the city. When they arrived at the airport, the group met their tour director, Adam, a young British man full of knowledge about his home country of England. He first took the group to a market called the Borough Market which featured many items such as desserts, fresh fruits and vegetables, foreign foods and a variety of

to tour Windsor Castle, both inside and out. Corinna even pointed out to the group the flag atop one of the towers that signified that the queen was currently staying at Windsor. That night the group had a classic meal of “bangers and mash,” which is simply sausages and mashed potatoes with caramelized red onion gravy and peas. Dessert was a slice of chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. This was at The Albert, a relatively well-known pub in the area. Both Adam and Corinna pointed out some unique places in the city that we used to film parts of the Harry Potter movies like the Millennium Bridge, Diagon Alley, Gringotts and Knockturn Alley. These two days were jam-packed with everything you could want to see in a visit to London in this short of a timeframe both the historical and wellknown aspects and the lesser-known and more contemporary aspects. The adventure continued the rest of the week with visits to Spain and France.

meats both familiar and unfamiliar. Following this stop, the group took another walk through the wind and the rain along the Thames River which runs through the center of the city. They crossed the Millennium Bridge, named for when it was built. Some of the other sights included Trafalgar Square, which is essentially the center of the city where everything

else is measured out from; Piccadilly Circus, which is London’s equivalent to NYC’s Times Square; Tate Modern art gallery; and The National Gallery. Dinner that night was a classic meal of fish and chips which consists of breaded white fish and, as we say in the states, French fries. Dessert was a simple vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce. This was at a restaurant called Gig’s

Fish and Chips. After a night of sleep, the group had a nice breakfast at the hotel buffet and headed off to pick up their tour guide, Corinna, for the day. Corinna spent the day sharing her wealth of knowledge for her city with the group. She showed the group the monuments and parts of the city that you probably think of when you hear, “London.” They were able to take

pictures of Westminster Abbey and even see the traditional red telephone booths that you always see in movies since they’re all over London. One of the most striking differences between the United States and Europe is the frequency of castles in Europe. The group was able to see Buckingham Palace and watch part of the guard change despite the rain and wind. After that, they got a chance

Delevan mom seeks help with providing paintings to others with health issues

Photo provided Aubre Murphy (shown here), has created close to 200 paintings for people with health issues and other dilemmas and is seeking help with raising funds to continue this endeavor.

By Kate Day Sager When Aubre Murphy has picked up a paintbrush over the past year, the work she creates on canvas has been for a child fighting cancer, an individual dealing with epilepsy or a memorial for a grandmother, among others. Murphy, a 42-year-old self-taught artist, wife and mother of four children in Delevan, has created 180 personalized paintings for recipients, or “Warriors” who have been dealing with health issues or other dilemmas in life. She asks for nothing in return. “Feb. 3 (2019) was the first painting I gave away to my very best friend,” Murphy recalled, noting the painting was of an elephant, a favorite of her friends. “I posted my

painting on my Facebook wall and said, ‘Have some prayers for her, I made her this painting.’” Within a short period of time after the Facebook post, someone sent Murphy a message noting her son suffered from autism and elephants were the only thing that calmed him down. “(The child) saw this painting of the elephant for my girlfriend, and (his mother) wanted to know if she could buy one,” Murphy stated. “I don’t sell my paintings and I never have” and shared that with the woman who made the request. After Murphy rejected the woman’s request, however, she was bothered and remembered she had a bonus check coming from work and would use the money to finance

the painting. With that, Murphy created another elephant painting for the child and sent it to the family. The requests kept coming in after that and Murphy kept painting and mailing the paintings to those who wanted them. The paintings not only have been mailed locally but as far away as New Mexico and California. “I (figured) I would do it in honor of whatever they are a warrior of,” Murphy explained. “In one case it was autism, in another case it was leukemia, another one was a survivor of childhood cancer and another one is a survivor of domestic violence.” Murphy said she paints with acrylic on canvas and no art piece is smaller than 20 inches by 20 inches. She has “graduated” to painting 24-inch by 24-inch pieces, and the largest painting has been 5 feet in length. “I’m doing a five-foot dragon and a five-foot superhero for a child in Arcade named Alex who suffers from Hunter’s syndrome,” she said of Krabbe Disease that killed former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly’s son, Hunter. While Murphy continues to provide art to those who ask, with packages including gift items from charities and businesses, she was recently laid off from work with a company in Buffalo. While she conducts fundraisers, she is hopeful of raising additional funds to continue the endeavor. “It’s such a special and unique thing and it’s completely changed my

might be very important.” However, if someone violates the policy by posting vulgar or slanderous terms and the village decides to take it down, the comment is still archived. “Just because you take

it down doesn’t mean you throw it out,” he said. “It gets a little complicated, but I think we as a village are better serving our community by having a Facebook page, even though there are a lot of growing pains.”

about her or is helping her is beyond me.” For more information on Murphy’s work, or to make a donation, visit her website at www. thewarpaintproject. com or send emails to thewarpaintproject@gmail. com.

SGI Europe trip continues in Paris

Photo submitted Students and chaperones in the Springville-Griffith Institute trip to Europe over the resent winter break visit the Sacre Coeur in Paris.

By Ely Schosek Student Reporter After two busy days in London, the group of Springville-Griffith Institute students and chaperones packed up their belongings early to get to St. Pancras International train station to catch their Eurostar train to Gare du Nord station in Paris. Before the train departed, the group was given a chance to purchase lunch items to eat aboard the train during the nearly threehour ride to Paris. Adam took an interested group of students and parents across the street to the adjacent train station

known as King’s Cross where Harry Potter was filmed, specifically known for “platform 9 ¾.” The train took the Chunnel, which is a tunnel that goes underneath the English Channel, but that was only about 30 mins of it. The rest of the time gave the group a chance to see some of the English and French countrysides. Upon their arrival in Paris, the group was given some free time and a chance to explore the Latin Quarter after dropping their bags off in their hotel rooms. The Latin Quarter is a tremendous example of the cultural diversity that

can be seen in Paris and other cities like it. This was pretty much the majority of their afternoon leading up to dinner at Drink Doctor Restaurant. For dinner, the group had beef bourguignon which is similar to a beef stew with white rice and vegetables and a dessert of chocolate cake but this cake was richer than that from the previous night in London. Walking through the different parts of the various cities gave the group an excellent chance to see the architecture. Some of the tour guides referenced the buildings built in the 19th and 20th centuries

to be “new,” while buildings of that age in the U.S. are seen as more historic. As they walked along the Seine River and around the city of Paris, the group saw some of Paris’s most famous monuments such as the Notre Dame Cathedral on the Île de la Cité and the Île Saint-Louis. A few people even ventured to the Île Saint-Louis to try the berthillon, unique ice cream only made there. Most of the island is a rich residential area but the berthillon makes for a special treat. Berthillon is pretty much a cross between ice cream and gelato with many different flavors to choose from. Other significant stops in Paris included Place de la Concorde, one of the major public squares in France; L’Opéra, the opera house made famous in part by “The Phantom of the Opera”; the Panthéon; Luxembourg Gardens and Les Invalides. Their guide, Janice, who also happened to be the head of all the Parisian tour guides, knew just about everything you could want to know about any of these places.

Of course, the group had to see the Eiffel Tower. They had a chance to take pictures from the Trocadéro, the name for the area across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower. They would have numerous more chances to take pictures of and with the tower over the next few days. Later that day, the group would take a riverboat cruise down the Seine River and see the tower light up along with a multitude of other famous Parisian monuments. Janice took the group through the Palace of Versailles, a castle built by Louis XIV, the Sun King. After their visit to Versailles, they took a bus back into central Paris and got a chance to visit the Fragonard Musée du Parfum which translates to a perfume museum. They learned about the different types of perfume and how it is made along with the history before they got a chance to test out the products and possibly purchase some. Following their visit to Fragonard’s, they had some free time to explore the Galeries Lafayette, an upmarket French

department store chain. A dinner of savory and sweet Flammekueche at Flam’s was served one of the three nights in Paris; another dinner featured une galette complète with ham, egg and cheese followed by un crèpe with chocolate. The next day, the group visited La Basilique du Sacré Cœur de Montmartre, also known as the Church of the Sacred Heart. They spent the morning exploring the area of Montmartre and the afternoon walking through the Louvre Museum. During their time in Paris, the group had the chance to get some unique views from above the city, including from atop the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. They also had a chance to walk the Champs Élysées, one of Paris’s main streets, where the Arc de Triomphe is located and full of many high-end stores. During their few days in Paris, the group was able to see all the things you think of when you hear “Paris” but they also got a chance to explore and visit some of the lesser-known pieces of French history.

20th Century Studios Harrison Ford appears with Buck the dog in a scene from “The Call of the Wild.”

‘Call of the Wild’ works OK despite CGI dog distraction By Kellen M. Quigley February has been the month of CGI animals featured in the big movies. From a hyena in “Birds of Prey” to Sonic the hedgehog in “Sonic the Hedgehog,” animal characters made completely in the computer is more and more the way to go. That trend continued with the release of “The Call of the Wild,” based on the novel by Jack London and starring a dog named Buck. Except, of course, Buck is CGI during the whole movie, and that just didn’t work. When you have a hyena or a video game character, yes, the computer is the way to go. But when you have dozens of dogs in Hollywood trained to be in movies and do things like pull a sled down a path, run around a field or even cuddle up on Harrison Ford’s bed, why does Buck need to be CGI the entire time? The short answer is he doesn’t, which is a shame because the rest of the film is pretty good. The filmmaking is solid, the adventure scenes are exciting and the actors all give good performances. But if you can’t get over that CGI dog like I couldn’t, it’s going to be a long hour and 40 minutes in the Yukon. Buck is a big-hearted and big-bodied dog whose blissful domestic life gets turned upside down when he is suddenly dognapped from his California home and transplanted to the exotic wilds of the Alaskan in the 1890s. As the newest rookie on a mail-delivery dog sled team, Buck comes to earn the respect of the dogs and the team’s driver on their way to the heart of Yukon goldrush country. There, Buck befriends John Thorton (Harrison Ford), a prospector running away from his tragic past. As Buck and Thorton grow closer, the two set off on their own adventure of a lifetime as Buck ultimately finds his true calling. Regardless of the strange-looking CGI dog, the movie at least has a solid story to work from. There’s a reason London’s novel has remained in the public consciousness for over 100 years. It’s a great introduction to kids for more “grown-up” themes about the natural world, love, loss and finding your place in the world.

Unfortunately, some choices don’t give the film the emotional weight that such a beloved novel deserves. The pacing is fairly fast-paced, which makes Buck’s development and growth happen way too soon. There are very few quiet scenes that allow the characters to breathe and reflect. It’s just one setpiece after another with some action that is exciting but not all the way believable. And there are even four different montage sequences. Is this an adventure film or a Rocky sequel? However, that wouldn’t be too bad if Buck was played by a real dog for many of these scenes. But because he’s primarily played by a man in a motion-capture suit that the CGI is laid over in post-production, Buck’s expressions and movements look too human and out of place, and the obvious computer animation does not feel real in the spaces he’s in. Thankfully, the human actors who play the smaller supporting characters are wonderful, even if they’re only on screen for a few minutes. From Bradley Whitford as Buck’s original master in California to Omar Sy as the sleddog team driver, they fill that needed presence on screen. However, the biggest saving grace of this entire production is Ford’s performance as Thorton. Even acting opposite a CGI dog, he is completely believable and emotionally resonant. He may not be in the first 45 minutes — save his cheesy, unnecessary narration — but once he shows up it’s a huge breath of fresh air for a struggling movie up to that point. We’re so used to Ford as the coolest guy in the room who’s always confident. Think Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan and Dr. Richard Kimble. But here, we get a Harrison Ford who’s suffering, who’s an alcoholic, who can’t get his act together. That is until he and Buck go on their adventure. And at the heart of it, that’s what makes this movie seeable. Yes, the cinematography and editing and music and all the production elements are top Disney quality, but the bond Ford and Buck have makes it worth it. Even if the CGI dog is a huge mistake.

The second session, Learn to Knit II, is for those same students, or for anyone with the basics already understood.

Letter to the Editor Springville resident supports Kowalske in village election Dear Editor, As you know, March 18, 2020, is a special date this year in our village. All registered voters have an opportunity to have a voice in preserving our beautiful village and making it better for future generations. Voting is one of the most important responsibilities we have as U.S. citizens and residents of the village of Springville. It is our chance to select future leaders who reflect our beliefs for the current and future quality of life in our village. Our vote represents our desire to maintain and improve the quality of life for all citizens from newborns to the octogenarians. Springville’s future depends on our dedicated village board members. This year, I am proud to support my granddaughter, Devin Kowalske, as my representative and future leader. Please help me in supporting her by voting for her for the Springville village board. As a life long resident of Springville, I am proud that my granddaughter has chosen to return and establish roots in our great community. Devin, her husband and daughter have been living in the village for almost a decade since returning, after leaving the community as a child. Devin has matured into an active, involved community member pursuing improvement of the community as a whole. Devin has chosen to become active in Green Springville, rising to board member, and Springville Center for Arts. She can regularly be found attending the village board meetings and volunteering at the center for the arts activities and during the summer. Devin and family can regularly be seen volunteering at the community concert series supporting the Springville Center for Arts and promoting Green Springville. Let’s get out to the polls on Wednesday, March 18. I encourage you to follow me in my vote for Devin Kowalske and Reed Braman as I place my trust in their future leadership, along with the rest of the village board, in revitalizing Springville. Respectfully submitted, Judy Law Springville resident

WINTER WINTER Decor ideas to give homes a fresh look this spring pression that they have stepped back in time. A simple, mural-style floral wallpaper on the walls surrounding a table in a breakfast nook can bring nature inside. • Pastel colors: Nothing embodies the spring quite like pastel colors. If colorful, bright flowers dot the garden in the backyard, homeowners can bring those uplifting pastels inside by painting an accent wall or even adding some brightly colored accent furniture to rooms that could use a lift. • Declutter: Clutter is often conquered during spring cleaning sessions, but homeowners who want to create more free-flowing interior

spaces can downsize their furniture and/or look for multipurpose features that make it hard for clutter to take over a room. Create more open space in entertaining areas by mounting the television and getting rid of a bulky entertainment center. Create even more space by replacing rarely used end tables with a storage ottoman where books and magazines can be stored to give a room a fresh, clean look. • Accent features: Sometimes the smallest changes to an interior space make the biggest impression. Replace dated accents like vases and table lamps with newer items that reflect the latest styles and trends.

Such adjustments won’t break the bank, and they can give rooms a whole new feel.

FULLY INSURED

Spring is a season of rejuvenation, and that spirit of renewal can take hold inside a home. Warm weather and longer hours of daylight make spring a perfect time to imagine a home’s interior design in a new light. The following are a handful of decor ideas that may inspire homeowners to give their homes an entirely new look this spring. • Wallpaper: Wallpaper fell out of favor years ago, but new styles that aren’t so heavily patterned can make for wonderful additions to any room. Large-scale prints can give a room a whole new feel without giving homeowners or their guests the im-

Spring is a great time to reconsider home interiors. This spring homeowners can em-

brace various strategies, both big and small, to give their homes a whole new feel.
