Third generation of Sheret Jewelers reopens store By Deb Everts Sheret Jewelers has recently reopened under new ownership and remains in the family. Customers can rest assured that they will receive the same personal, down-home service as they have for over seven decades. New owner Sheret Jagord said after they were closed for a week to do inventory and transition into business, they officially opened their doors to the public on Feb. 24. Assisted by her son and store manager, Hunter Hawk, Jagord plans to be a full-service jewelry store, just as it’s been in the past. Many of their clientele are returning customers who have been shopping at the store for decades. As a matter-of-fact, Sheret Jewelers will be celebrating
its 75th anniversary in the spring of 2021. The reasons why people buy and order jewelry vary. Jagord thinks men and women shop differently for jewelry. Based on her observation, there’s no real study behind it. “(Women) see it and they put it in a ‘tickler’ file, which is a place in their mind thinking Christmas or some other special occasion is coming. They think maybe their husband will buy it for them,” Jagord said. “It’s a totally different sale when a man is buying an engagement ring. He puts a lot of thought into it, then he has to think about it some more.” Three generations of the Sheret family have owned and operated the business, beginning with Jagord’s grandfather, Donald Sheret,

after he was discharged from World War II in January 1946. His son, Andy Sheret, was next in line to own the family jewelry store. When he passed away in 2013, his daughter Elise Rose and her husband, Mike, took over
the business and ran it until early February of this year. “I don’t think that’s what my grandfather anticipated when he started the store 74-and-a-half years ago,” Jagord said. “Hunter is officially the fourth generation of doing
repairs and working in the store. He’s doing a fabulous job and he has learned a lot just by observing and being around the jewelry business. My father (Allen Lindsay) is a bench jeweler and he has watched him work. He also worked with
and trained a bit with my uncle Andy.” Jagord’s first name, “Sheret,” is unique and carries on the family name. She said her mother was Pamela (Sheret) Lindsay and she was the only girl among her siblings. When she got married, she gave her daughter the name. “When my mother was in high school, she worked at the store and, when she married my dad, they both worked at the store,” she said. “I would get off the bus in kindergarten and come here after school.” Originally from Indiana, Jagord came to Springville every summer in her youth to help out at the store. “The rule of thumb (in our family) was if you’re old enough to see over the counter, you were put to See Sheret page 5
Village elections set for March 18 in Springville By Kellen M. Quigley Residents of the village of Springville will have the opportunity next week to cast ballots for three village trustees as part of general village elections throughout New York state. Elections will be held from noon to 9 p.m. Wednesday, March 18 at the Village Municipal Building at 65 Franklin St. Three seats on the village board are open, two for four years and one for two years. Terms will be decided by number of votes received Incumbent trustee Nils Wikman and former trustee Terry Skelton are running as members of the For Springville independent party. Reed Braman and Devin Kowalske are running together as members of the Revitalize Springville party. Nils Wikman The incumbent trustee is hoping to continue serving on the village board, saying local governments are best positioned to help their communities. With

Springville’s nonpartisan board that works together, Wikman said they can adequately plan for the future. “I feel that my 20 years of business experience in the private sector and my eight years on the board has positioned me to be able to be an effective voice for our village,” he said. “I want to take advantage of the knowledge that I have gained in the last eight years and apply it towards even better decision making skills in the future.” During his latest term on the board, Wikman cited the improvements on Franklin Street including the new fire hall, the streetscape improvements and the completion of Heritage
Park as examples of the board’s dedication to moving the village forward. “The transformation of that corridor is a huge change for the village,” he said. “Whether it be Fiddlefest, a concert in the park or simply walking in a pedestrianfriendly area eating an ice cream cone from the Springville Dairy, this area represents a vision for the future for our village.” Wikman also said the village has a talented group of people working hard behind the scenes with public works, fire department and police force to maintain the village services. Looking ahead, Wikman said he wants to focus on bringing
more job opportunities to the village, saying it could create new housing opportunities and help to expand Springville’s tax base. He said he also wants to see some ongoing projects continue, including the Rails to Trails, and improving those features that improve the quality of life for our residents. “For example, we are working towards improvements to the spray park facility and tennis courts at Eaton Street and North Central Avenue that will improve the overall complex,” he said. “We are also continuing our work in the DPW to further improve our infrastructure. I want to make sure that this focus is not lost.”
One key area Wikman said he’s researched is the expansion of highspeed internet access to rural areas, which could also mean affordability. He said current rates are out of reach for many residents and rising, but the county and Tom Golisano are exploring options for the area. “I would like to explore these possibilities as a way to increase competition for our only ‘real’ high-speed provider as a way to truly increase access for our residents,” he added. Within the village, Wikman said improvements to the parks, such as the skateplex at Heritage Park, the Easton Street spray park and pickle ball court are also on
A Look Back:
The Blue Cross By Jolene Hawkins
Looking back on the shelves that we have here at the Lucy Bensley Center and the many scrapbooks that have been donated full of photos, newspaper articles, notes and such, included in these are those books of Miss Lucy Bensley, and I have two that I love going through. Lucy donated
scrapbooks and going through the ones on World War I, you will find information, pamphlets, lesson plans, flyers saving bonds posters, rationing books on WWI that was put out for the schools, libraries and public. Also in these scrapbooks is information on the Blue Cross. What is the Blue Cross? Well, just read on. Two years before war broke out in Europe, the Blue Cross fund had provided vital veterinary care to the animals during the Balkan War. At that time, it was called Our Dumb Friends
League (ODFL) and was renamed due to the displaying of blue crosses that flew above the animal hospitals and ambulances to distinguish help for the animal casualties from the Red Cross, which provided aid to the wounded soldiers. The first Blue Cross hospital was opened in London and another was opened in France. Horses were an essential part of cavalry warfare and soon became needed to haul colossal artillery pieces, ammunition wagons, machine guns, ration carts and other vital supplies. These horses were taken from the
shafts of the family wagons, from the plow, from the families that they knew, the barns they knew and thrown into battle to help with the war. The French military authorities had undertaken bringing the wounded and exhausted horses to the hospitals, where they would receive the attention they needed according to their condition. Then they are returned to the fighting lines after treatment. Extracted from a letter that was received April 29, 1915, from one of the veterinarians who was working at one of the Blue Cross hospitals: See A Look Back page 3
his to-do list. “These are the types of projects that really depend on citizen involvement to insure that the projects end up meeting their needs,” he said. Wikman also mentioned the ongoing problem with the pedestrian crosswalks throughout the village, noting Route 39 traffic flowing through the Main Street business district posing a particularly dangerous problem. “As you may know, Main Street is scheduled to be paved this year,” he explained. “We have been working with the state already to come up with solutions that will help make our crosswalks safer.” Wikman has served on the board for the past eight years, but he feels that with re-election, he can contribute in a meaningful way, encouraging residents to contact him with questions or concerns. “I want the village of Springville to be a place that you can be proud of, but to do that, we need your input as well,” he added. “So ask questions, See Election page 2

weigh the answers, and vote for those individuals that will work for your best interests.” Terry Skelton The village of Springville has always been an integral part of Terry Skelton’s life, being born here and raising his family here, with two of his children starting their families here as well. “I’m hoping my third child will catch on to our great secret and move his family here also,” he said. “Other than a brief stint as a child and my first year of marriage, I have been a life-long resident of Springville.” Skelton said he remembers as a child going with his grandmother as she did her shopping downtown. He said she seemed to know everyone and everyone knew her. “That feeling of being surrounded by friends and not strangers stuck with me,” he reflected. “Our culture of a rural village is something that needs to be cherished, protected and preserved. I have travelled all over the world and I have never found any place as inviting and friendly as Springville.” Skelton was a part of the village government for over 12 years, spending 10 years as a trustee with three of those years as deputy mayor. He has also been a member of the Village Board of Appeals and is currently a member of the Village Planning Board. In addition to his village duties, Skelton is a member of the Springville Youth Inc. Board of Directors, served on this organization for over 25 years with three terms as president. “All of this experience has taught me how to be part of a successful board. It’s taught me how to listen to opposing views and effectively work to an agreement for the better good,” he said. “It’s taught me how to collaborate with everyone, from the resident walking down the sidewalk to county and state officials. It’s also taught me how to make decisions based not on my personal views, but for the benefit of our entire village.” Skelton said he is very proud of the fiscally
responsible budgets that he has worked on over the years to keep tax increases to a minimum while continuing to provide the quality services that Springville’s residents depend on. With all the state and county mandates, he said there is only a small amount of discretionary spending available in village budgets. “It requires discipline, understanding the workings of our village and the ability to make tough decisions to keep the budget on track and continue to make improvements that benefit our village residents,” he explained. “I believe I have those traits.” This time around, Skelton said he is hoping to continue the fiscal responsibility and protection of the taxpayers’ dollars in all aspects of the village government. “I hope to return my experience and leadership to the village board and work effectively with the great men and women within our government to continue to improve village life,” he added. “I know it’s over-used, but I really, honestly love this village.” I trumpet our virtues to anyone I can get to listen to me. It would be my honor to return to the Board of Trustees. Terry Skelton lives with his wife and two grandchildren on Woodward Ave. He has worked at Moog in East Aurora for over 38 years and is currently a Global IT Manager in its corporate division. Devin Kowalske With both sides of her family calling Springville home for generations, Devin Kowalske says she is deeply invested in her hometown. She has been increasingly involved in the community lately through Green Springville and the arts center, and said she has had many rewarding experiences. “My daughter will grow up here, and I want a hand in making it the absolute best place it can be,” she said. “I’m ready to take that next step and become more formally involved with the bright future of our village. Springville is clearly on the rise.” Kowalske said the past

decade has seen some wonderful developments for Springville, with some real momentum that needs to be sustained. “There is currently no one on the village board with a young family, and I think that perspective is very important,” she added. Monday through Friday you can find Kowalske at Curbell Plastics in Orchard Park, where she is the Material Data Specialist. She said she works every day with cross-functional teams, manages long-term projects and contributes to the success of one of the nation’s premier plastic distributors. “I know how to build a sense of team. I am attentive to detail and I take my responsibilities seriously,” she explained. “I’ve just recently completed a community leadership program with (University of Buffalo) and am an active board member of Green Springville.” In addition to being a board member for Green Springville, Kowalske said she is a committee member for the WNY Sustainable Business Roundtable, an organizing lead for Springville’s annual Earth Day annual celebration, a UB Champions for Change program graduate, recipient of the Curbell Values in Action Award and an Eagle Award recipient at Curbell Plastics. Kowalske said she is committed to listening to and engaging with residents throughout the village to best understand what their priorities and concerns are. “I want to be a part of making Springville a place where people want to come to shop and play — whether to bike the rail trail or see a concert — and a place that is known as a vibrant and affordable place to live.” Some specific areas Kowalske said she is focused on include protecting and preserving the village’s historic assets and making Springville great for all ages, saying, “from our youngest residents to our oldest, we need safe and engaging opportunities for recreation, learning and community building.” Kowalske said she also wants to show support
for and investment in the business district for a vibrant downtown and continue exploring green initiatives, from lowering energy costs and consumption to downtown recycling, community composting and green infrastructure projects. If elected, Kowalske said she intends to bring renewed energy to the board with a steady push forward, respectfully collaborating with other board members and community stakeholders. “I will listen to everyone,” she said. “I believe that we can work together to bring more positive attention to Springville and to make this community an even better one to live in for residents of all ages. … I hope that you will give me the opportunity to do my best to give back to the community that raised me and to help see to it that Springville continues to flourish.” Devin Kowalske lives on Park Street with her husband, Josh White, and daughter, Lillian. She lived in Springville until 3rd grade, but then moved back after graduating college. Reed Braman Growing up in the village of Springville, Reed Braman got used to the small-town lifestyle. Walking or biking anywhere he wanted, he had access to a variety of activities such as youth sports, music and arts programs and appreciating nature, whether at a local park or his friends’ backyards. As an adult with two young children, Braman said he rediscovered all that Springville had to offer while visiting the same local areas he frequented in his youth. “One day it dawned on me that this way of life was no accident and that members of the community donated their time and money to make this happen,” he said. “At that point I decided that I wanted to contribute what I could,
and running for village trustee is the latest way I’ve found to give back to the community.” Currently working in Erie County’s DPW, Braman said he’s gained experience in how municipal governments operate, working on numerous capital projects, familiarizing himself with the procurement processes specified in the state law and is an NYS Certified Code Enforcement Officer. “While much of this tends to be day-to-day operations handled by the village administration, having this experience will help guide the decision making as well as provide additional assistance where required,” he explained. In addition to government experience, Braman is president of Green Springville. As a newer organization with a limited budget, he said it requires creativity and careful budgeting to provide programming. “It has also provided experience developing relationships with local governments and organizations as well as conducting community outreach,” he said. Over the past few years, Braman said his work with Green Springville has led to collaborations with the towns of Concord, Colden, Evans, Eden and Sardinia to promote the Solarize Southtowns campaign, resulting in 34 households collectively making an $880,000 investment in clean energy all while lowering their electric bills. Green Springville also assisted the school district when building its new P-Tech building. “Green Springville helped the school navigate the design and bidding of a green roof for the P-Tech gymnasium that would meet their stormwater mitigation goals, save energy and extend the lifespan of the roof,” he said. Most recently, Braman
said Green Springville has partnered with Springville Field and Stream to tackle the erosion that’s occurred over the past several years at Springville Trout Pond. “A passion of mine is energy,” he said. “Springville has the incredible fortune to be a Municipal Electric Utility, and because of that we benefit from very cheap electricity. I would like to work with the village administration to see what we can do to lower energy consumption throughout the village.” Braman said he would also like to see a comprehensive tree program take inventory and provide a plan for the village and to see all levels of government working together to provide services efficiently, noting his connections with Erie County could help provide efficiency and coordination. Having the perspective of someone with a young family, Braman said he hopes to bring new ideas and a new way of looking at things to the board. He said he’s eager to listen to all of the residents of the community and understand what their priorities are. “In my experience, it takes a network and cooperation to achieve great things,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate to work with extraordinary people to accomplish all that I have and I am looking forward to working with fellow village officials to help move Springville forward.” Reed Braman is a 1999 Springville-Griffith Institute graduate and is currently the Director of Energy for Erie County. He is married to Lisa Clark and they have two children, Rhett and Anderson.

half died of disease or were killed in conflict. From the battlefield came reports that revealed that horses suffered from infectious diseases such as glanders, cracked heels and frostbite, as well as being injured by enemy fire or in the course of their duties. After the armistice, war horses were rescued and rehomed. They opened quarantine kennels on Shooter’s Hill in London and funded the costs so that soldiers could bring back the dogs that had so loyally served them on
the battlefield and give them the retirement that they deserved. Want to learn more? Come down to the Lucy Bensley Center on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or the second and fourth Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. and read through Lucy’s scrapbooks.

A LOOK BACK Continued from front page
“We have six stables in use now, a large building that will hold 60 horses, a second building that will hold 22 horses. … Some of the hoses which come in are nearly dead with exhaustion, however I am glad to say that they get a good welcome when they arrive. “Upon arrival on the first day, they are given a drink of water and are led into a stable where a small but good feed awaits them. Some seem too tired to eat, and simple lay down and rest for a few hours. The next day, the horse is
washed and their wounds cleaned. One horse that arrived had 5 bullet wounds! “The Blue Cross has rented a large meadow on the banks of the Seine about 1 ½ miles from here. I do wish you could see the horses enjoying themselves there, it is by far the best tonic they can have…” Dogs were just as vital to the cause on the battlefields, as they were used to run messages, detect mines and act as patrol dogs. Pigeons served as well, risking their lives by carrying
vital messages over long distances. Animals are used in warfare, and animals were injured in warfare. Veterinary parcels included supplies of drugs, bandages, horse salts and dressings, medicines, ointments, clippers, antiseptic, portable forges and items for humanely euthanizing horses who were suffering and sadly to wounded to recover. The bravery and selflessness of these animals in fighting alongside the men of the country captured the heart of the
nation. A Blue Cross Medal was presented to soldiers who had bravely helped animals and to the animals themselves for their bravery. Animals have no nationality, and we here in Springville raised money to be sent to this group to assist in providing animal hospitals, veterinary surgeons to treat the injured animals on the battlefield. It is estimated that more than six million horses and mules were involved in the First World War and almost

What does it mean to be a junior in high school? By Elyana Schosek Student Reporter When you’re growing up, adults always ask you what you want to be when you’re older. The answers start out with doctor, astronaut, police officer or teacher, but as we get older they expect more serious answers. High school is when you should really be thinking about what you want to do with your life. Junior year is when we really have to start making decisions. Courses like SGI High School’s Junior Seminar course are tailored to help students discover career paths or learn more about one’s they may already be
interested in. Programs like BOCES give students opportunities to explore vocations. Students can enroll in BOCES during their junior and/or senior year. Junior year means a lot of standardized tests to help your chances of getting into the college you want. Our teachers and counselors continually tell us how important the SAT and ACT are for getting into college. Both of these are standardized tests that are meant to measure intelligence in a standardized and consistent manner. SAT stands for Scholastic Assessment Test and ACT stands for
American College Test. The SAT is administered across the world whereas, the ACT is only given in America hence the name. Although many colleges use SAT or ACT scores when concerning admission, there has been some controversy over this recently. Opponents have said that tests cannot accurately measure intelligence since there are different ways one can be “smart.” Early on in junior year, students are advised to take the PSAT or the Preliminary SAT. As with all of the standardized tests, the PSAT is not a
requirement but it is highly recommended for students looking to take the SAT in the future. SGI offered the PSAT in October and will be giving the SAT in May. Students can retake the SAT as many times as they wish but may have to retake it at other schools in the area since SGI only offers it in May. Any junior who is not attending BOCES is required to take a halfyear course called Junior Seminar. Classified as a business course, it helps to prepare students for their future. Throughout the course, there are a number of class presentations to practice and improve
upon presentation skills and public speaking to a degree. The course also includes a number of research projects such as a career research project and a college comparison project. Other assignments include writing a resume to see what they may need to improve upon in the coming months along with mock interviews with SGI HS staff members. Junior Seminar even touches on budgeting, an important life skill; impromptu speeches, more public speaking; final speeches, to see growth in presentation skills from the start of the class.
Junior year is when most students start driving and usually get their driver’s license which means more freedom and independence. For some students, getting their own car means they can participate more in after school activities. Junior year is when students really start to get involved in their school and community; it’s when they decide to do clubs or join the musical or a sports team. That’s only the tip of the iceberg on what it means to be a high school junior: start making big decisions and preparing for life after high school along with much more.

SGI students learn about psychology with ‘Winnie the Pooh’ By Elyana Schosek Student Reporter Winnie the Pooh is a character most people probably know from their childhood. The first set of his stories by A.A. Milne came out in 1926 and was followed by more stories and a number of movies, including the most recent one called “Christopher Robin” that came out in 2018. These stories follow a group of animals that live in the Hundred Acre Woods and the adventures of a young boy, Christopher Robin, and his friends Tiger, Pooh Bear, Kanga, Roo, Owl, Rabbit and Piglet, among others. The movie “Christopher Robin” follows an older Robin as he relives some of his childhood fantasies in the midst of his busy adult life. The newest movie is a more modern version of the old stories and was the first one to not be animated. Springville-Griffith Institute High School offers a Behavioral/ Abnormal Psychology class to its juniors and seniors during the spring semester. Behavioral psych is also called behaviorism, a concept that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning which is usually due to the environment among other factors. In this class, students learn about various psychological and social disorders that are very much prevalent in society, motivation and emotion, human development, stress and health, and personality. The connection between the aforementioned class and Winnie the Pooh is that psychologists have studied these stories and classified its characters. This means that professional psychologists have given diagnoses to the fictional characters of Milne. Milne was a World War I veteran who suffered from PTSD and once noted that he created these characters to help him cope with his PTSD. The question remains though as to whether or not he did indeed write these characters with the intent of them having disorders.
Prior to watching the movie “Christopher Robin” along with “Pooh’s Heffalump Movie,” which is more of a short film, the class was asked to be thinking about the various disorders they had discussed and what the possibilities were for each character. They were told not to look anything up because as the teacher acknowledged, the answers are out there, but she wanted to hear what they had to say, not what Google said. After watching the films, the class had a discussion as to what they thought each character had. Theories for each one varied but there were no wrong answers. Only a few people guessed that Christopher Robin was Schizophrenic, which means that someone may have hallucinations or delusions that can be visual and/or auditory and impair one’s ability to function properly. Pooh was impulsive and had an addiction, specifically an eating disorder. Some thought that the honey Pooh so dearly clung to was meant to represent alcohol or drugs. As for Tiger, most thought he had Attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) because of the way he was always moving. Another more difficult one to guess was that Roo was autistic. Autism is a developmental disorder that involves significant challenges in socialization, communication and behavior. No one could really put a finger on Owl because he only appeared a few times throughout both movies. Most students were relatively sure that Piglet suffered from severe anxiety since he was almost always afraid or worried about something. Rabbit was thought to have OCD since he was always looking to be in control of the situation and have things perfect. Studying these characters was a good way for the psychology students to see how some of these disorders may actually look and to help them see them in a more positive light.

SPRING SPRING Mulching mistakes to avoid
FULLY INSURED
Landscape features vary significantly from house to house. Some homeowners may prefer water features on their properties, while others focus on flowers that would be the envy of a botanical garden. Regardless of those preferences, lawn and garden enthusiasts who want to make their properties as idyllic as possible may eventually look to mulch to help them accomplish
that goal. Mulch helps soil retain moisture, which promotes strong, healthy flowers, plants, trees, and shrubs. And because soil beneath mulch retains more moisture than soil that’s not protected by mulch, homeowners won’t have to spend as much time watering mulched landscapes. That saves time and conserves water, which can be a big benefit in
areas prone to drought and/or especially hot summers. Mulch also helps to suppress weed growth, which can ensure all that hard work needed to create an eye-catching garden won’t be compromised by the presence of unsightly, thirsty weeds. Mulching seems like a simple task, and it can be. But that does not mean homeowners cannot make mistakes when mulching. The follow-
ing are some common mulching mistakes to avoid as lawn and garden season hits full swing. • Not enough mulch: Mulch is ineffective when spread too thin. The Virginia Cooperative Extension at Virginia Tech and Virginia State University recommends applying mulch no less than two inches in depth. Anything less than that will prove ineffective at preventing weed growth
and helping the soil retain moisture, and that means you will need to water more often. • Poorly located mulch: Mulch should not be placed too close to plant stems or tree trunks. When it is, tissue is so wet that it makes for a perfect environment for disease and insect infestation. • Failing to mulch to the drip line: The drip line of a tree refers to the

outermost circumference of the tree’s canopy from which water drips onto the ground. The VCE recommends mulching to the drip line of a plant or tree, which ensures the plant or tree will get the most out of the mulch. Mulching to the drip line also minimizes competition from the grass, leading to stronger plants and trees. • Failing to weed before mulching: Weeds should be removed prior to mulching. If they’re not, the mulch can provide the same growing environment for weeds that you’re trying to create for your plants and trees. Mulching benefits a landscape in myriad ways, especially when homeowners avoid some common mulching mistakes.
