Springville village board approves local law for telecommunications

By Kellen M. Quigley

The village of Springville held its annual reorganizational meeting April 1, which featured several items and the passing of a local law concerning wireless telecommunications in the village. The board held a public hearing for local law number four for 2019 about cell tower and small cell installation in Springville. The purpose of the local law helped to establish uniform standards for the siting, design, permitting, maintenance and use of wireless telecommunication facilities in the village of Springville. “In the law, there is a lot of language for the aesthetic and design of these small towers and their placement in the village,” said Mayor William Krebs. According to the new law, while the village recognizes the importance of wireless communication facilities in providing high quality communication service to its residents and businesses, the village also recognizes that it has an obligation to protect public safety and to minimize the adverse effects of such

facilities. In the previous law we had just for the large cell towers, Krebs said there was no language that could cover the

small wireless towers of today. He said in the new law, there’s a definition for stealth technology, which is “camouflaging methods applied

to wireless communication facilities which render them more visually appealing for which to blend the proposed facility into existing structure.”

Springville Middle School students take a trip back in time with museum project

By Elyana Schosek Student Reporter

In recent years, learning has developed tremendously. Students now have the world in their pocket, which has changed how they learn. With this new technology, teachers have had to adjust their teaching styles and methods. At the beginning of the year, Springville-Griffith Superintendent Kimberly Moritz asked the teachers in the district to incorporate a new style of learning called Project Based Learning. This method provides students the opportunities Photo Submitted to explore questions Springville photographer Emily Robinson (left) recently earned the Master of relating to certain topics, Photography degree from Professional Photographers of America (PPA) as well in a way that engages, as received a Bronze Medal in the International Photographic Competition for the challenges and, hopefully, third consecutive year. excites them to learn. “Over the past month, our See Photographer page 6

Another new piece of the new law reads, “all proposed small wireless facilities shall contain a demonstration that the facility will be sighted so as to minimize visual intrusion as much as possible given the facts and circumstances involved with proposed sight facility and will employ stealth technology.” Krebs said those are considerations the Planning Board must take into account when they hear applications for placement of the small call antennas. “Since many of these will probably go down our main streets and in the right of way, I think that’s very important,” he said. “I think that’s the advantage of this law.” During the meeting proper, the village board first approved the rescinding of Village Code Chapter 200 Section 119-132 Article XVII Telecommunications Facilities. The new local law would replace that chapter in the village code. Next, the board adopted the local law. Needed to approve the local law was a SEQR and a negative declaration of environmental impact from See Tower page 3

Make more music with Blue Herren Music Studio

By Alex Simmons

Blue Herren Music Studio, owned by Lydia Herren, is a multi-instrument and vocal studio taught by different musical instructors. Located in Springville, the studio is open to teach a “variety of ages, skill levels, and styles.” “I had been teaching music lessons in the area for a number of years and when the opportunity arose to take over the studio space” Herren said. She took it. At Blue Herren Music Studio, there are many music instructors who offer multiple instrument lessons. Herren teaches violin and vocals, alongside her fellow musicians, including Nick Kody, acoustic and electric guitar; Charlie Porter, who teaches piano; and Derek Miller, drums. Herren had first come up with the idea for the logo due to her last name. She had been “working on ideas for the business name and liked the play on words,” she said. According to Herren, she had wanted to incorporate a treble clef within a blue heron bird, and the logo was born. Her friend “Diane Sypniewski provided the stylized version,” she said. Charlie Porter, has been playing piano since he was 6, “or about 30 years ago,” he said. “My mom had made me play piano, but eventually it was more fun than difficult.”

When teaching students, Porter said he really enjoys “how much the students teach him.” He likes to see the different perspectives of music each student has, and how they teach him these points of view along the way. Porter said he enjoys playing “funky

stuff.” He likes playing music that is out of the ordinary like funk and rock, but also enjoys the compositions of Beethoven. If interested in piano lessons, you can contact Porter at charlie@ heritagepipeorgans.com Derek Miller has been playing the drums for about 17 years or so.

“I grew up around percussion,” he said. Both his “godfather and father were drummers.” Most of Miller’s friends had played guitar and all around enjoyed playing music, so to have a good time he learned to play the drums, because “there weren’t a lot of drummers around.” Miller said he likes to play everything, but gravitates toward rock music, since he had grown up listening to it. When teaching, he likes to see how “students slowly progress toward their goal to become better,” he said. Miller believes that “the instrument chooses you.” So, if you are starting out with playing an instrument with enough time and practice, you’ll slowly learn to love what you're doing when making music. You can contact Miller at 440-2385 or info @wnydrumlessons.com. On a personal note, I have been taking vocal lessons with Herren for the past five years and have recently started taking piano lessons with Porter. My brother has been taking drum lessons with Miller. We have both grown in our musical abilities and our love for making music. To see more of Blue Herren Music in the Springville community, they will be participating in the Art Crawl on May 4 with an open house. Some of the instructors will be performing outside the studio. More lessons will be offered soon, coming in July and August. If interested in any of the following lessons or additional information, contact Herren at blueherrenmusic@gmail.com.

Springville Center for the Arts seeks participants and artwork submissions for the juried Annual Downtown Springville Art Crawl. The deadline to submit is Saturday, April 13. This one-night art event places artwork in small businesses along Springville’s East Main Street Historic District where visitors can stroll from location to location during the free event. In addition to fine artwork, this year’s Crawl is looking for musicians and performers to play interspersed with the artwork, art installation proposals, art demonstrations and fine crafters looking to table in a sales area. A small “pop-up shop” marketplace will feature small business owners that do not yet have a storefront space. Community organizations interested in setting up a table to promote their activities are also sought. The Art Crawl takes place on Saturday, May 4 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. To submit artwork, artists are asked to email images of their submissions and an entry form to SCAArtSubmissions@gmail. com. Five original pieces of any medium may be accepted. There is no restriction on size or age. If accepted by the jury, artists will be notified and work must be delivered ready to display by April 27. A submission form and details are available at Crawl. SpringvilleArts.org Performers, community organizations and others interested in participating should call the Center at 592-9038 or email SCAArtSubmissions@gmail.com. The art jury this year includes Sean Witucki, Nila Griffis Lampman and Donna Jordan Dusel. Sean Witucki is a drawing and painting instructor at the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts; is a member of the Copley Society of Artists, Buffalo Society of Artists, Oil Painters of America, Western New York Artist Group; and is a Grand Central Atelier, Hudson River Fellow. Nila Griffis Lampman, Executive Director of The Ashford Hollow Foundation, finds her passion in connecting people to the art, programs and history that can be found both at Griffis Sculpture Park and The Essex Arts Center. One of Lampman’s main goals is to pay homage to the great history that the organization holds while ensuring its sustainability for years to come. Lampman initially served as a dedicated volunteer to The Ashford Hollow Foundation for over 25 years, leading the charge of several fundraising events as well as the creation of marketing and press materials. She officially joined the Ashford Hollow Foundation as Executive Director in 2010. Lampman moved full time into the non-profit sector after careers in advertising and education. Donna Jordan Dusel has been exhibiting her artwork and her photography work since receiving her MAH (Masters of Arts in Humanities) from SUNY University at Buffalo in 1978. She has exhibited her

the SEQR, which was approved at the March 18 meeting. The board then approved modifying the fee schedule to include wireless telecommunication fees. Administrator Liz Melock said the communication tower and pole location fees remain the same. Newly added were the permit for small cell attachment systems and the pole attachment fees per pole. “We looked through several other municipality fees,” Melock said when deciding what the fees should be for the new permits.

Additionally, the board authorized the mayor to sign an AT&T lease to attach to the former village water tower, off Carolina Street, which is now used as the cell tower in the village. The board also approved the amendment to the Per Diem Policy rates in the village handbook for employees that go on trainings. Also of note, the parking pan in the village has ended, Melock said. The new recycling totes for village residents are expected to be delivered June 5 and 6 for biweekly recycling.

State DEC warns about bear problems

At a time of year that black bears will soon be on the move, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is urging people to be careful with food. Due to poor natural food availability last fall, many black bears went into their dens with low fat reserves and as they begin to emerge from winter dens, have already begun seeking out food sources around homes. DEC says it has already received several reports that bears are knocking down bird feeders to eat the seed. Feeding bears either intentionally, which is illegal, or unintentionally through careless practices around properties, has consequences for entire communities. DEC advises everyone who lives in or visits bear country to remove items that are attractive to bears. People should take down bird feeders by April 1,

Elizabeth A. “Betty” Spaulding

Joyce O. Francis, of Arcade, and a former resident of Rushford, died Monday (April 1, 2019) in the Jennie B. Richmond Nursing Home, Springville. She was born Feb. 12, 1940, in Bliss, a daughter of the late Ally and Isabel Perkins Burdick. She married Walter Francis, who predeceased her Dec. 18, 2017. Joyce was a former employee of Prestolite in Arcade. She enjoyed traveling, especially to the Adirondacks, going to the casino, attending dirt track races with Walt and most of all spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Surviving are her children, Rick (Patty Burdick) Francis of Rushford, Vicky (Randy) Bliss of Highpoint, N.C., Greg (Carolyn) Francis of Rushford and Mike (Rita) Francis of Arcade; 10 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; two sisters, Eleanor Ebert of Salamanca and Judy Covert of Batavia; a brother-in law, Laverne (Nancy) Francis of Batavia; two sisters-in-law, Irene Francis of Texas and Elaine Francis of Chesnee, N.C.; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by three brothers-in-law, Norman Francis, Herb Francis and Melvin Francis; and a sister-in-law, Lorraine

Francis. As per Joyce’s wish, there will be no visitation or services. Memorials if desired may be made to the Yorkshire Fire Department in Joyce’s name. Arrangements are under the direction of the Kopler-Williams Funeral Home, 21 N Genesee St., Fillmore. Online condolences may be made at www.koplerwilliamsfuneralhome.com.

store garbage inside secure buildings and feed pets indoors. Allowing bears to find food naturally keeps them out of trouble and reduces negative interactions with people and property, DEC says. Black bears emerge from the winter denning period and need to replenish their nutrients and body fat. To do so, they may travel long distances to preferred habitats, which vary from season to season. Bird feeders, garbage cans, dumpsters, barbecue grills, unsecured outbuildings and vehicles containing food or waste

are all potential chow places. Officials say once a bear learns to obtain food from people or certain structures, it is very difficult to change the animal's behavior. Sometimes the DEC is asked to relocate the bears. However, bear relocations are rarely effective at solving the problem and can be dangerous, the release said. Relocated bears often return to their original capture site or may continue their bad habits at a new location. The incidental, indirect feeding of black bears, such as with bird feeders or garbage, is illegal after

output of 500 kilowatts. The powerhouse was erected in 1925 to house two water turbines — constructed by the Leffel Company of Springfield, Ohio, which were located in the basement — and two General Electric 25 kilowatt alternating current generators and regulator distribution equipment, which were located on the ground floor. The two white pillars that can be seen on the creek bank are the remains of the powerhouse for the original hydroelectric dam. The powerhouse was destroyed the very day it was to be put in operation. It was redesigned, rebuilt and put into service in 1899. The original power house had three turbine water wheels. The Cattaraugus Creek freezes over in the winter, but there is still enough water underneath the ice to keep the turbo generators humming. In the spring, the operators would watch beavers at work on the river bank, and the trout would be leaping in the stream. During the dry spells, the water drops so low that the generators were often turned off after midnight. In 2001, the area located along the Cattaraugus Creek bank became a Erie County park and is popular for fishing, hiking or to just sit at one of the picnic tables that are located to the north of the dam and enjoy the scenery. In 2007, there was talk about creating a fish ladder for the steelhead trout and

other species of fish to travel upstream to tributaries of the Cattaraugus Creek to spawn. As spring and summer come to our area, and you want a place to go and sit for a picnic, to fish on a warm day or to hike, Scoby Dam Park is the perfect place. Trails are easy to walk and well marked, and picnic tables are placed where you can sit and enjoy a view of the waterway. Bring your camera. You never know what you will find to take a photo of. I have walked these trails and taken some great photos there as well. We would love to hear your stories of growing up in this area. Come down to the Lucy Bensley Center and visit with us, read some of our old newspapers that we have dated back to 1867, look at old photographs or thumb through our High School Annuals.

New smoke alarm law takes effect April 1

A terrible fire in Watertown on Valentine's Day claimed the lives of a father and four of his daughters. An investigation found that there were no batteries in the home's smoke detectors. This serves as a backdrop to remind residents of a new law regarding smoke detectors that goes into effect April 1. The law requires that all new or replacement smoke detectors sold in New York state be either powered by a 10-year, sealed, non-removable battery or hardwired to the home. The law was actually approved in 2015 but designed to take effect this year so manufacturers could sell off inventories of the removable-battery detectors. People with removable-battery detectors can still keep them, but when they need to be replaced, those types

won't be available for sale after April 1. Also, after that date, homeowners and landlords must upgrade the detectors before selling or renting homes and apartments, even if the old ones still function. There can be many reasons why batteries are removed from smoke alarms. Perhaps a battery is needed for another device and no other batteries are handy. Perhaps cooking was creating smoke and setting it off. Worn-out batteries will make the alarm “chirp,” which can be irritating and cause people to remove them. Then they forget to replace them. The 10-year sealed battery detectors are a little more expensive than the old models, but officials say they will be cheaper over the same 10-year period

given the cost of replacement batteries. When the sealed-battery alarm quits, it's gone and you need to get a new one. The battery is not replaceable. Homeowners can opt to hardwire detectors, but you'll need a good working knowledge of wiring to install them — or hire an electrician. Remember, however, hardwired units won't work if the power goes out unless they have a battery backup. Working smoke alarms can keep you and your family safe from fire. The New York State Association of Fire Chiefs states that having working smoke alarms in your home reduces your risk of dying in a fire by 50 percent by providing early warning. The association also recommends that smoke alarms be installed on every

Narcotics Unit and Patrol Deputies Surveilled Subjects before Arrests

Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard recently announced the arrest of two Springville residents for drugrelated offenses after patrol Deputies in the area developed information on drug dealing activities in the downtown area of the village of Springville. Patrol Deputies and members of the Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit performed extensive surveillance of two individuals suspected of recent drug activities in the village. On March 28 at approximately 7:40 p.m., Deputies initiated a traffic stop of the suspects’ vehicle at the interchange of routes 219 and 39 for vehicle and traffic violations. The Deputies’ search of the vehicle discovered a package of crack cocaine and a package of powder cocaine totaling 6 grams. Also discovered was a crack pipe with residue, a marijuana pipe and a quantity of loose unidentified pills. Karen Kehr, 44, was arrested and charged with felony counts of criminal possession of a narcotic with intent to sell and criminal possession

of a narcotic. She is also charged with misdemeanor counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance and aggravated unlicensed operation of a vehicle as well as vehicle and traffic violations for operating a vehicle without an inspection and operating a vehicle with broken glass. Joseph Kehr, 46, is charged with

DEC: Brush burning is prohibited now until May

As Western New York edges toward spring, the requisite warning about the dangers of open burning in dry, windy conditions comes again. Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Basil Seggos reminds residents that with spring approaching conditions for wildfires will become heightened and residential brush burning is prohibited March 16 through May 14 across New York state. “While many people associate wildfires with the western United States, the start of spring weather and the potential for dry conditions increases the risk for wildfires in New York,” Seggos says. “New York prohibits residential burning during the coming high-risk fire season to reduce wildfires and protect people, property, and natural resources. The ban has been extremely effective in reducing the number of wildfires, and we're encouraging New Yorkers to put safety

first.” Even though much of the state still has snow on the ground, warming temperatures can quickly cause wildfire conditions to arise. Historically, open burning of debris is the largest single cause of spring wildfires. When temperatures are warmer and the past fall's debris, dead grass and leaves dry out, wildfires can start and spread easily and be further fueled by winds and a lack of green vegetation. New York first enacted strict restrictions on open burning in 2009 to help prevent wildfires and reduce air pollution. State regulations allow residential brush fires in towns with fewer than 20,000 residents during most of the year, but prohibit such burning in spring when most wildfires in New York occur. Since the ban was established, the eight-year annual average number of spring fires decreased by 42.6 percent, from 2,649

in 2009, to 1,521 in 2018. Campfires using charcoal or untreated wood are allowed, but people should never leave such fires unattended and must extinguish them. Burning garbage or leaves is prohibited year-round. Some towns, primarily in and around the Adirondack and Catskill parks, are designated "fire towns." Open burning is prohibited year-round in these municipalities unless an individual or group has a written permit from DEC. To find out whether a municipality is designated a "fire town" or to obtain a permit, contact the appropriate DEC regional office. A list of regional offices is available on DEC's website. Violators of the state's open burning regulation are subject to both criminal and civil enforcement actions, with a minimum fine of $500 for a first offense. To report environmental law violations call (800) 8477332, or report online on DEC's website.

Gallivan applauds new funding for paving highways in Erie County

State Sen. Patrick M. Gallivan (R-Elma) recently expressed support for the use of $128 million in New York state funding to repave state roadways impacted by this year's harsh winter weather. Funding will support more than 90 paving projects across the state, including several projects in the 59th Senate District. “After another harsh winter, it is critical for the state to provide additional resources to repair our roads,” Gallivan said. “These additional investments will make state highways safer for motorists and pedestrians while supporting local businesses and New York’s tourism industry.” The new funding, provided through the PAVE NY Initiative, complements $100 million previously committed earlier this year for local projects that renew approximately 3,700 lane miles of road across New York State.

floor of your home. They should also be installed inside every bedroom and outside of the sleeping area in the hallway and at critical points along your escape path, like at the bottom of a stairwell to warn you if the room below is full of smoke. Maintaining your smoke detector requires little effort, but the importance is clear. Remove dust, cobwebs, pet fur or other buildup that might interfere with its effective operation. Finally, the fire chiefs group recommends that you test your alarms monthly. There should be a "test" button that allows this. Smoke detectors are probably one of the smallest investments you'll ever make that could pay the largest dividend. It might save your life.

where newborns are concerned. She wants her clients to know that safety is something she takes very seriously. Robinson was also elected to PPA Councilor in 2018 and will serve a threeyear term representing PPA and the photographers in New York. Emily Karr Photography is a boutique studio which has become a destination for newborn portraits as well as high school senior photos. Robinson also accepts a limited number of local and worldwide weddings each year so she can devote one-on-one attention to her clients. She also offers to mentor fellow photographers and has recently formed a new PPSNYS Chapter in Western New York, which meets monthly in her studio. For more information about scheduling a consultation or session, or for mentoring opportunities, contact Robinson at 7943161 or email emily@emilykarr.com.

The projects announced will begin this spring and will be completed later this year. The current state budget provides a record level of $743 million in direct state aid to local governments for road and bridge repair and modernization. This critical infrastructure funding is supported by the state Department of Transportation's five-year capital plan. Through sustained investment in transportation infrastructure, including this latest infusion of $128 million in State funds to revitalize its

roadways, New York State is enhancing the quality of life for all New Yorkers. Local pavement renewal projects in Erie County include: •$1.2 million to resurface Route 20 from Bowen Road to Townline Road. •$310,000 to resurface Route 33 from Alden/ Lancaster Town line to Walden Avenue. •$1.0 million to resurface Route 39 from Mortons Corners to Route 219. •$300,000 to resurface Route 240 from Holland Glenwood Road to Boston Colden Road.

Walt Disney Pictures This image released by Disney shows (from left) Colin Farrell, Nico Parker and Finley Hobbins in a scene from “Dumbo.”

By Kellen M. Quigley I don’t think I have to explain why Walt Disney’s original animated film “Dumbo” from 1941 is embarrassingly outdated, in bad taste and just plain not good anymore. But for those of you who might not know, it’s ugly, mean and racist. For being only 1 hour and 4 minutes long, it’s very boring, filled with gags and skits that aren’t funny and doesn’t get to the one thing everyone knows it for — a flying elephant — until the last 5 minutes. So when “Dumbo” was announced as the latest in Disney’s parade of liveaction remakes of their animated masterpieces, myself and the rest of the world were genuinely surprised. And then Tim Burton was announced as the director, and everyone was equally confused and concerned. And yet, in 2019, the live-action remake was everything the original animated movie was not while still keeping much of the same story and scenes in there. I even got all choked up a few times in the more emotional moments. I don’t know how, but Burton got me again. In the film, Holt (played by Colin Farrell) was once a circus star, but he went off to fight in The Great War, leaving his wife and two children behind. When he returned in 1919, the had terribly altered him, but circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) hires him to take care of the elephants. When a new elephant, Mrs. Jumbo, gives birth to a baby whose oversized ears make him the laughing stock of the struggling circus troupe, causing the mother to lash out and nearly close the circus entirely. But when Holt's children discover that the baby, now called Dumbo can fly, silver-tongued entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton) and aerial artist Colette Marchant (Eva Green) swoop in to make the little elephant a star. While some barebones remnants of the original film’s plot still exist, there have been a lot of additions, subtractions and changes, and this version is all the better for it. Since Disney isn’t the “talking animals” company anymore, it makes sense that the film really revolves around Holt, his

children and Max and how Dumbo impacts their lives. One thing I appreciated was relatively grounded everything was, such as how the aftermath of World War I and the influenza epidemic of 1918 affected the circus and the protagonists’ character arcs. Serious and somewhat darker things like this only add to the overall dark themes of the movie. While the circus in 1941 was still “The Greatest Show on Earth,” it was good to see such a positive stance in today’s world taken by the end of the film. While circuses probably were the greatest shows at the time, having animals in captivity for entertainment purposes now is wrong, and the movie lets you know it, but not in an overly preachy way. I also appreciated how elements from the original make their way in here without being as ridiculous or cartoony. Casey Jr. isn’t a personified train but just looks like it has a smiley face. The little mouse is Holt’s daughter’s pet. The “pink elephants” scene is a giant bubble show. Feathers make Dumbo sneeze which makes him flap his ears and fly. Unfortunately, my only major disappointment was with the actors. While DeVito did just fine essentially playing himself, everyone else seemed distractingly fake, and a lot of that had to do with bad voice acting. Farrell, an Irishman, has a bad southern accent. Green, though French, uses a cartoony French accent. Keaton does… I don’t know what accent, but it was strange and took me right out of the picture. Luckily, people don’t go to see “Dumbo” to see circus owners quibble and French trapeze artists. They go to see an elephant fly, and that’s exactly what you get, along with a positive message. Children get to see just how bad keeping animals in captivity for entertainment is and why circuses shouldn’t do that anymore. But more importantly, children will learn, in a rather mature way, that you don’t need a feather to fly. Although Dumbo uses the feather as his trigger to get to fly, he too learns that you are what makes you special and of worth, not a feather, and I can’t fault a movie for that.

When tending to their lawns, homeowners are advised to pay attention to areas that may feature standing water. According to the World Health Organization, standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes, which can breed in great numbers in pools of water. Mosquitoes are known to carry diseases like malaria, West Nile virus and Zika. Furthermore, mosquitoes that bite pets can transmit heartworms, a serious problem if gone it goes undiscovered. Standing water also can

be a haven for bacteria, mold and parasites that are dangerous to human health. If standing, stagnant water is a problem in your yard, remediation is necessary. Directing downspouts away from the house can remediate standing water. Changing the grading of soil so that low spots are elevated is another way

to reduce instances of standing water. This may be a project that requires the assistance of a drainage professional. In addition, homeowners can remove standing water from empty flower pots, pool covers, bird baths, and more to reduce the likelihood that mosquitoes will appear on their properties.

Griffins to rely on pitching, defense for senior-laden baseball squad

Photo Submitted Pictured is the 2019 Springville-Griffith Institute varsity baseball team. Front row (from left): Garon Domes, Evan Elkins, Travis Mansfield, Austin Lux, Jarrett Wolf, Austin Walker. Back row: Nick Pfarner, Nick Sullivan, Ty Dash, Mike Sobota, Nick Emmick, Ryan Johnson, Cody Wells, Collin Rice, Sean Barry.

By Sam Wilson The Springville-Griffith Institute varsity baseball season has ended in the same round, to the same team, by similar scores each the last two seasons. A group of thirdyear starting seniors hopes to make sure that doesn’t happen in their last campaign with the Griffins. Collin Rice, Evan Elkins, Austin Lux and Jarrett Wolf have all started since their sophomore season and now it’s their turn to lead the Griffins on the baseball diamond. Lux and Rice lead SGI’s pitching staff, along with by first-year varsity junior Nick Emmick and Elkins is the closer for Joel Lux’s second season as head coach. “They definitely put a little work in the offseason to get stronger,” Joel Lux said. “They’ve lost to the same team in the playoffs two years in a row now. Depew’s got a very good team and we’ve lost by

one run two years in a row in the playoffs.” In total, nine of the team’s 15 players are seniors, eight of them being returning varsity letter winners: Rice (P/2B/3B), Elkins (OF/P), Lux (P/SS), Wolf (C, 2B), Ryan Johnson (DH), Mike Sobota (2B, SS, 3B), Garon Domes (OF) and Cody Wells (1B, OF, P). The exception is Sean Barry (OF), who is playing baseball for the first time in three years after two knee injuries from football. Emmick (P, 1B, 3B), Austin Walker (OF), Ty Dash (2B, OF), Nick Sullivan (3B), Travis Mansfield (OF, DH) and Nick Pfarner (C, 3B) are the Griffins’ six juniors. The Griffins expected to start the season Wednesday against Pioneer after a strong month of spring practice. “Defensively good, pitching good and bats have been getting better,” Joel Lux said of the team’s first month of practice. “I've got a couple guys that can really

hit the ball well, but the rest of them are slowly coming, for sure. It definitely looks a lot better than it did three weeks ago. “I think we'll be good. Batting is not our strength, but we're good defensively and our pitching is really good.” Austin Lux, Wolf and Elkins have each taken on leadership roles in different ways. “Wolf kind of controls everything on the field. He’s basically like having a coach out there,” Joel Lux said. “Austin is a very good pitcher and when he's pitching, they pretty much know that he's not going to get hit very much at all. And as far as Elkins, he’s loud. He’s very loud and constantly talking to everybody. They kind of all have their own little thing.” After an 8-11 season last year concluding with a 2-1 loss at Depew, the Griffins expect to compete for their league title as they move to the ECIC Div. IV. Cleveland Hill, Tonawanda, Eden, Alden, Holland and Lackawanna are all in Div. IV

Gowanda softball team off to a hot start

By Bill Peglowski

The week ending March 29 saw the Gowanda Panthers Girl’s Softball team open their 2019 season with two big wins. On Friday, the Lady Panthers defeated the Brocton Lady Bulldogs at home, 14-13. Gowanda got off to a slow start giving up 8 runs in the 1st inning on 4 walks and 5 hits. The Panthers got four of their own runs in the bottom of the inning. Gowanda’s first four batters would get hits before the first out. Leadoff batter Makenzie Carroll singled followed by a double to deep left field by Gao:wisa:s Stevens. Zoey Kota then brought both runners home with

a triple into center field. Paige Gabel followed with a double to deep right field scoring Kota. Gabel would eventually steal home to cut the Brocton lead to 4-8 before the Panthers gave up two more outs. Gowanda tightened on defense in the second holding Brocton scoreless for the next three innings. During that time, the Panthers would pick up one run in the second inning and four in the fourth to take a one-run lead. Brocton answered in the fifth with four runs of their own. Gowanda picked up two runs in the inning leaving Brocton with a narrow one-run lead going into the sixth. The Panthers tied the game scoring the only run in that inning.

The 7th inning would see Brocton pull ahead again scoring a single run. In the bottom of the inning, with runners on both first and second, Zoey Kota connected on the next pitch launching the ball into right field for a double and scoring both runners. That put the Panthers up 14-13 to end the game. The day before Gowanda hosted Forestville to open the season for both teams. In another 14-run effort, the Panther came out on top 14-6. Top Gowanda batters in the Brocton game were Zoey Kota with 4 runs and 5 RBIs on 4 hits and Gao:wisa:s Stevens with 3 runs and 2 RBI’s on 4 hits. Leaders in the Forestville game were Hailey Fort

Makenzie Carroll, both with 3 runs and 2 RBIs on 4 hits. On Tuesday, March 26, the Lady Panthers Girl’s Lacrosse Team also opened the season with a win. Playing at Grand Island, Gowanda outscored the hosts by two goals in both the first and second half on the way to a 14-10 win. The girl’s lacrosse team continued on winning at home on March 28 in overtime, 10-9 vs. Williamsville South. The Gowanda Boy’s Lacrosse team did not fare as well. They lost their opener at Akron 27-4 on March 27. Returning to host Salamanca on March 29, found similar results taking another loss, 19-5.

Franklinville narrowly defeats Griffins in Youth Trap

this season. “We should do pretty well in our league,” Lux said. “I definitely would like to win the league this year and they know that. Last year worked out really good, where we started off a little rough but by the time I think we won our last seven games, so I kind of like that, to get better the closer you get to the playoffs, make sure that's when everything's right. I think that the hitting will be there the longer the season goes.” Clearly, hitting will be a bellwether for how far Lux’s senior-laden squad can advance. “Whether the bats show up,” he said of what he’ll look for early on. “I know I've got a couple of our guys that can really mash baseballs, but the other guys, I know what they struggle at but I don't want everyone else knowing.”

Getting technical at SGI

Springville-Griffith students prepare for the future with tech projects By Elyana Schosek Student Reporter Springville-Griffith High School has lots of different electives that students have the opportunity to take throughout their time in high school. The school’s technology department has a huge selection of courses beginning with an introduction class called DDP. After DDP, students can advance their knowledge to the next level, if they so choose, by taking Tech I. This class consists of various types of projects, a few of which are as follows: The egg drop, in which students must “design a vehicle that can protect an egg from different types of crashes,” including a 2nd floor drop, a 3rd floor drop, a launch from an air cannon and a drop from a ladder truck. Cardboard boats, which are just what they sound like, will be further discussed later on. Additionally, there’s a simple project called Beyblades. These are spinning tops that the students really wanted to make using the CNC laser. The teacher, Jonathan Shelley, noted that projects change based on the interest of the students each year, but one has remained consistent: the boat races. Each student has a different reason for taking the class. Some, like Ben Sullivan, are taking it because they have always

enjoyed technology classes. Others like Ethan Fisher are taking it because they want take CAD/ CAM, but need Tech I as a prerequisite. “I really like working with my hands and learning how to problem solve and be able to design projects are build them,” Josh Beres noted. This was similar to what Jared Hecht mentioned in saying that he

wanted to learn more about the “hands on part of tech”. Eric Copeland said he’d “rather be hands on” and that he’s not good with computers. Will Guilmain mentioned that in the future, he wants to be a mechanical engineer, and that’s why he’s taking the class. Though he did also say that it’s just a fun class overall!

Daniel Gernatt said, “I thought it would be interesting and fun to solve problems and to use the laser and other tech tools. I also really like Mr. Shelley as a teacher.” When he says the “laser,” he is referring to the CNC laser, a very valuable and versatile tool in the Tech Department that uses computer software to engrave and cut wood.

When asked to chose their favorite project that they’ve done this year, each student put careful thought into selecting just one. Eric and Daniel both said that their favorite project had to be the egg drop project they did at the beginning of the year. When asked why this one, Eric said, “because of the different trials we did. For example, launching it at a

wall with a cannon, in the air, etc.” Additionally, Daniel said, “I liked it because it was fun to mess around with the eggs, but it was also cool because I got to build a parachute and I also got to see some different creative designs by other people.” Jared noted that he most enjoyed the windmill project “because you had to be innovative with your design, test it, and then redesign it.” Josh said his favorite project so far would also be the cardboard boat races in which they each worked with a partner to create boat out of cardboard, zip ties and duct tape with a plastic layer over it. They actually raced the boats in the school pool right before Christmas break. “The experience was awesome from designing the boat and making small models of it and multiple changes throughout the building process and then the final result was a great feeling with great results,” he said. Josh had worked on the boat with Ethan, who also said his favorite project was the boat races. “There weren't many guidelines so you could pretty much design whatever you wanted to and it was fun to try and go across the pool,” he said. “It’s also a class that will allow you to use your imagination,” Shelley said. “There are really no wrong answers, except for not trying.”

selected partners, were then put into larger groups and assigned one of the following civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus River Valley and Early China.” They were given the question, “What river valley civilization was superior to all others?” With this, the students were responsible for creating a museum exhibit that shows the accomplishments, religion, geography, politics, social structure and economics of their assigned civilization. “The process for the project included research on their civilization, designing displays and artifacts based on their research and then finally constructing a museum exhibit as a group,” Miller explained. “The students also needed to create a video that incorporated their civilization along with an interactive component that engages the audience.” The river valley civilizations are a big

part of sixth grade Social Studies. When he was teaching the unit last year, Miller was playing with the concept of creating a museum exhibit. He presented the idea to his class last year and they loved it so much they were disappointed that they wouldn’t get the chance to do it. Miller and a fellow teacher “wanted to find a way that would engage, motivate and excite the students to want to learn and enjoy it while doing so.” “Overall, the kids really enjoyed the project. They worked hard from beginning to end and put forth great effort,” he said. “The ideas that they came up with outstanding. It is nice to see the creativity out of the kids.” Additionally, Miller said, “It was interesting to see how they would react to me taking a step back and being a facilitator rather than just standing in front

of them teaching. The workload and how they were going to complete it was on them”. Miller has plans for modifying the project a little bit each year as he really enjoyed the concept and the results. The project was very hands on and involved higher level thinking than the students are typically used to, he said. “In groups of five to six members, they researched the assigned civilization and focused on G.R.A.P.E.S., an acronym that a fellow social studies teacher here at SGI, Mr. Rob Valenti told me about,” Miller explained. “G.R.A.P.E.S. stands for Geography, Religion, Achievements, Politics, Economics and Social Structure.” He continued in saying that, “Each group needed to include at least seven artifacts that exemplified their assigned civilization.”

Creativity was a huge part of this project for the students, Miller said. When they’re excited about it, they’re more inclined to be creative. “Some of the exhibits included 3D models such as Pyramids and the Sphinx from ancient Egypt,” he said. “Others included small artifacts or diagrams of writing systems. “All of my students were able to do outstanding work and surprised me with the ideas that they came up with, which was the best part of watching them work,” he continued. “The cooperation and collaboration was great during this project as many students worked together to accomplish their overall goal.” Inventiveness and individuality thrive when students are given the chance to show it.

Make a nice autumnal mead in New York

New York state has its wineries, distilleries, cideries and breweries in a thriving craft beverage industry. Now, the state is offering licenses for meaderies — that is, for craft operations to produce that drink that evokes scenes of medieval merrymaking: mead. Mead, or "honey wine," is an alcoholic beverage that is manufactured by fermenting honey with water, and it can be infused with fruits, spices, herbs and flowers — for those who fancy a nice “autumnal mead,” to borrow from popculture advertising of today. The governor’s office announced this week that applications for new licenses to operate farm meaderies are now being accepted. The new craft beverage manufacturing license is similar to those currently available for farm wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries in the state. "By creating this new license, we are building on New York's nation-leading craft beverage industry while capitalizing on our standing as the number one honey producer in the Northeast," Gov. Cuomo says. "New York's craft beverages are second to none, and we are steadfast in our commitment to supporting our local craft beverage producers who are creating jobs (and) promoting tourism.”

Legislation signed by Cuomo on Dec. 28 authorized the licensing of farm meaderies for the manufacture and sale of mead made exclusively from New York state-produced honey. Additionally, a new mead producers license was created, which does not require honey sourced exclusively in New York. The annual cost for the new farm meadery license is $75 and the annual cost for a mead producer license is $125.

The legislation allows meaderies to produce "braggot," as well, a malt beverage made from honey, malt, hops, fruits, spices, herbs and other agricultural products. The new law defines New York state-labeled mead and braggot as craft beverages made exclusively with honey produced in New York. Farm meaderies may conduct tastings of their products at their manufacturing

facilities, while mead producers may conduct tastings of beverages produced with 100 percent New York state ingredients. Farm meaderies have additional privileges, including the ability to sell their products by the glass or by the bottle from their manufacturing facilities or tasting rooms, in addition to any other wine, beer, cider or spirits produced by a state farm manufacturer. As with other craft beverage licenses, farm meaderies have the privilege of self-distribution, in addition to the ability to market and sell their products through existing wholesalers. Farm meaderies may also operate up to five no-fee offsite branch offices with tasting rooms anywhere in the state. These expanded privileges are credited with spurring New York's current craft beverage boom — since the governor's 2013 farm brewery law was enacted, 232 new farm breweries have been opened, and since the 2014 farm cidery law was enacted, 42 new cideries have opened statewide. New York now ranks in the top five states in the U.S. for its number of craft beverage producers in every category. The state ranks first in the U.S. for the number of hard cider producers, second in craft distillers, third in breweries and fourth for the total number of wineries.
